• Recall 2016528 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the thickness of the port wall of the fuel delivery module (fdm) may be below specification and could result in the supply port cracking. If a crack were to develop in the vertical portion of the fdm fuel supply port, a fuel leak could occur. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the fdm flange with a flange that has a redesigned fuel supply port.

• Recall 2014193 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, a fault in the electric power steering (eps) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will affect repairs as necessary and will reprogram the eps controller with updated software. In the event that an eps fault occurs, this updated software would allow for continued eps function while displaying visual and audible warnings to the driver until the end of the drive cycle.

• Electronic throttle body malfunction investigation # PE13003

  On february 21, 2013, the office of defects investigations (odi) opened preliminary evaluation pe13-003 to investigate allegations of electronic throttle body (etb) failures resulting in sudden reduction of engine power in model year (my) 2009-2013 ford escape, fusion, mariner and milan vehicles. During this investigation, ford identified a condition in subject vehicles equipped with 2.5l and 3.0l engines that may result in a sudden reduction of engine power.According to ford, the etb internal motor contacts may develop a high resistance material buildup condition on the commutator, resulting in intermittent electrical connectivity and reduced engine power. When this condition occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) or wrench light will illuminate and the vehicle may enter a limited limp home mode.Ford’s trade name for the feature is failure mode effects management (fmem) mode.In this mode, engine power and vehicle speed are reduced, while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are maintained.Odi’s complaint analysis indicate that the predominant failure mode involved reduced motive power associated with the limited limp home mode with engine speeds limited to approximately 900 rpm. Analysis of warranty claims provided by ford identified 59,807 claims related to etb replacements and approximately 50 percent of claims are associated with diagnostic trouble codes (dtc) P2111, "throttle body stuck open", and P2112, "throttle body stuck closed".Ford described several factors where the etb motor may fail resulting in dtcs P2111 or P2112 but the failure is not an existing stuck open or closed etb valve position.According to ford, the etb control strategy provides the driver with three fmem modes that allow varying degrees of vehicle mobility depending on the severity of the fault detected.Dtcs associated with stuck open or closed throttle valves are designated the highest failure severity resulting in engine speeds limited to high idle corresponding to the limited limp home mode.Vehicles are not likely to unexpectedly stall as a result of this condition, but drivers may characterize the reduced functionality as a stall, even though their vehicle may still has motive capability.Other fmem limp modes may result in reduced engine performance but will maintain vehicle speed above 20mph. During this investigation, ford and its suppliers, delphi and igarashi, updated the powertrain control module (pcm) software to include a throttle body motor cleaning cycle during key-on and modified the etb internal motor components design, surface finish and material composition to improve durability. Additionally, ford developed a remedy procedure and issued a special customer satisfaction program (csp) 13n03 extending the etb warranty coverage and instructing dealers to update the powertrain calibration to improve vehicle performance in the event that intermittent electrical connectivity of the throttle body motor contacts occurs. The program extends the coverage for up to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, all vehicles are eligible for the program through january 31, 2015 regardless of mileage.Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted by mail to take their vehicle to a ford dealer who will reprogram the pcm to the latest calibration. The bulletin was sent to dealers on january 17, 2014 and the owner letter mailing began on january 27, 2014. See the investigative file for copies of fords bulletin and owner letter. This preliminary evaluation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that a safety-related defect does not exist. For additional information regarding this investigation, see complete closing resume in the document file for pe13-003.

The vehicle was stationary - the lift gate traps water inside and has caused the lift gate to rust out so badly that it has caused me to replace the lift gate latch actuator motor and assembly on the lift gate 5 times since i purchased this vehicle in may 2010. My service dog has gotten stuck in the vehicle due to the lift gate motor becoming broken. I was unable to open the liftgate and had to take down the seats. In the event this was an emergency my service animal would've died. My service animal is too large to ride up front and she rides in the back. On occasion when my lift gate was not working, i had to rent a vehicle. In order to fix the recent issue with the gate, the shop that i took my car to had to pry open the gate and replace the motor assembly. This issue will continue until the lift gate is replaced and no longer holds water. This is a common safety issue with the ford escapes. Additionally, the front passenger side door also holds a lot of water. The mileage indicated is for the most recent repair, but it has happened multiple times prior to this date.
