2011 Ford Escape Fuel System Problems

Your fuel tank is leaking, causing a strong fuel smell both inside and outside your vehicle. An independent mechanic tried to seal the leak with epoxy, but it started leaking again. The repair will likely require replacing the fuel tank or having it professionally welded and sealed.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present inside the cabin of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered a crack in the fuel tank which caused the fuel leak. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 220,000.

The fuel pump was replaced and a new one was installed and now the engine is misfiring really hard and when the vehicle is placed in drive or reverse the engine tries to stall. The mechanic is saying that I will have to purchase a fuel rail pressure sensor that controls the fuel to each fuel injector. If this item or the whole fuel system is on a Recall List. Then I shouldn't have to pay anything to have it repaired and replaced by the Dealership. I do need to be notified about this issue immediately. This is a 2011 Ford Escape XLT AWD 4dr SUV with 3.0 V6 Flex Fuel system.

Leaking gas from gas tank where the fuel delivery pipe enters the tank

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Escape. The contact stated that upon approaching the vehicle, the contact observed gasoline leaking underneath the fuel tank. The contact became aware of a crack in the gasoline tank seal. The contact stated that there was a constant odor of gasoline on the interior of the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 240,000.

I TRIED TO GET FUEL LATE AT NIGHT IN WINTER WARNING AFTER WORK AND UPON DOING SO, THE NOZZLE AT THE GAS STATION WOULD NOT FIT PROPERLY TO FUEL THE TANK. GAS BEGAN TO LEAK OUT AS I WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE, SQUIRTING UP ONTO MY BODY AND CLOTHING. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NOZZLE DID NOT FIT, HOWEVER I NEEDED DESPERATELY TO GET GAS SO THAT I COULD RETURN HOME IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA WHERE I LIVE. I TRIED FILLING THE GAS TANK SLOWLY TO NO AVAIL. THEN I PROCEEDED TO ANOTHER GAS STATION AS THERE ARE NOT MANY AROUND, AND AGAIN NOZZLE WOULD NOT ENTER THE TANK. THIS TIME I COULDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE PUMP. AFTER INSPECTING THE SITUATION, I COULD SEE THAT THE FUEL TANK AREA LOOKED AS THOUGH THE HOLE FOR THE TANK NO LONGER ACCEPTED NOZZLES, THE FUEL FILLER AREA SEEMED TO HAVE SLIPPED AND I NOW I AM UNABLE TO GET GAS AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WARNING- THIS JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY, PUTTING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH GASOLINE ON MY CLOTHING, FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND NEARLY STRANDED. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH GAS TO GET HOME, HOWEVER I CAN NOT FUEL MY TANK AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DIRE STRAIGHTS EMERGENCY.

I HAVE CALLED FORD MANY TIMES, AS I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ALL THE TIME, IT SHOWS THAT MY CAR HAS AN EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK CODE P0457. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN AFTER 'FIXING'. FORD ESCAPE HAD THIS RECALL IN 2016 BUT FOR SOME REASON I WAS NOT SENT A NOTICE.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL IN DEC 2017, CALLED KENDAL FORD IN ANCHORAGE FOR SCHEDULING OF REPAIR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART NEEDED AND WOULD CALL WHEN IT CAME IN. OCTOBER 2018, CALLED KENDALL AFTER RECEIVING SECOND NOTICE. THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THEY'D CALL WHEN IT CAME IN. KENDALL FORD SERVICE DEPT. 866-957-4040. THIRD NOTICE RCVD 7/12/2019. CALLED AGAIN AND, TERESA, STATED THEY'D CALL WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THREE YEARS TO GET A PART IS OUTRAGEOUS. THE FORD DEALER HAS DEMONSTRATED BEYOND ANY DOUBT THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT RECALLS, UNABLE TO BE TRUTHFUL, AND HAVE NO CONCERN ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MONEY.

MY CAR ALWAYS SHOWS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE READINGS- SHOWS THAT THERE IS A LEAK, THEY HAVE CHANGED 4 TIMES THE PURGE VALVE. THE LIGHT GOES OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN COME BACK AGAIN. IT SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM ALL THE TIME. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR PARK.

THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY. SUDDENLY, IT WILL NOT HOLD GAS. GAS BEGAN TO POUR OUT AFTER I HAD FILLED THE TANK JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFOREHAND. I NOTICED THE GAS POURING OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I READ THAT SOME 2011 FORD ESCAPES WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE DATABASE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISED THAT I FILL OUT THIS FORM.

THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE REPAIRED IN MAY 2019 (BY CHAPMAN FORD IN HORSHAM, PA), JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE. IN LATE AUGUST 2019, THE CAR WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (FULLERTON FORD IN SOMERVILLE, NJ). THEY INSISTED CHAPMAN FORD DID A POOR JOB WITH THE RECALL REPAIR (SPECIFICALLY CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP) AND FORD CORPORATE AUTHORIZED FULLERTON TO FIX CHAPMAN'S POOR WORK (FREE OF CHARGE FOR ME). A FEW DAYS AGO, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START EVEN WHEN JUMP STARTED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS (MALOUF FORD IN NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ AND FULLERTON FORD) SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN OPENING TO WORK ON THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS. I WANTED TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A PRIVATE SHOP (QUALITY AUTO CENTER IN FRANKLIN PARK, NJ) . THE PRIVATE SHOP DIAGNOSTICALLY PROVED THE FUEL PUMP NO LONGER WORKS. THE PRIVATE SHOP REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE VEHICLE NOW WORKS AGAIN. THIS IS INDEED AN OLDER VEHICLE, BUT I THINK THE TIMING IS ESPECIALLY SUSPICIOUS THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILS SHORTLY AFTER IT HAS BEEN HANDLED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RECALL REPAIR. FURTHERMORE, CHAPMAN FORD WAS DEEMED BY FORD CORPORATE TO DO A SUBPAR RECALL REPAIR. I CALLED FULLERTON FORD AND FORD CORPORATE ABOUT POTENTIAL LIABILITY BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED TO ENTERTAIN BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UP ALL THE TIME ON THE CAR. IT WILL ALSO SAY "CHECK FUEL FILL INLET" WHEN I PUMP GAS. THE CODE READS P0455 WHICH MEANS THE ENGINE COMPUTER RECOGNIZES A LARGE LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (EVAP). THE VEHICLE'S EVAP SYSTEM IS SEALED, IT'S MAIN PURPOSE IS TO PREVENT GASOLINE VAPORS IN THE FUEL TANK FROM ESCAPING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. I AM NOT SURE IF ONE OF THE RECALLS PERTAINS TO THIS, BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ME. SO MUCH SO, THAT I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY.

MY ESCAPE HAS FORD RECALL #16S41 ON IT. I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AROUND MY CAR. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE RECALL ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE NOV/DEC OF 2016 THERE IS STILL NO PART TO REPAIR IT 8 MONTHS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A PART THAT HAS THE SAME DEFECT/RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FUEL LEAK. THIS TIME I COULD SMELL GAS. WILL I NEXT TIME? WHAT IF THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHERE FUMES COULD BUILD UP AND SOMETHING SPARKED AND OUR WHOLE HOUSE EXPLODED. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO PUT MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY (INCLUDING OTHER CHILDREN) IN MY CAR WHEN I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE AND FORD CANNOT CERTIFY THAT IT IS SAFE. THEY DO NOT HAVE A DATE FOR WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE. THEY ARE REPORTING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO INJURIES OR FATALITIES TO DATE DUE TO THIS RECALL. ARE THEY WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY PROTECT CONSUMERS? ARE THERE NOT LIMITS TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE TO REMEDY AND DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALL? I ALSO FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THIS RECALL WENT INTO EFFECT IN DECEMBER OF 2016 WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE EXACT TIME THAT ALL OF THOSE VEHICLES 5 YEAR WARRANTIES WOULD BE EXPIRED. COINCIDENCE?

DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. CAR DIED REPEATEDLY WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. FORD REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME FOR TOWING AND I THINK THEY SHOULD DO SO.

HAVE YET TO RECEIVE FOLLOW UP NOTIFICATION TO HAVE REPAIR PARTS INSTALLED. TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET BY FMC. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPEAR TO SHOW SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKAGE AT THIS POINT, I REMAIN CONCERNED THAT A LEAK MAY OCCUR AND GO UNDETECTED BEFORE A POTENTIAL TRAGEDY OCCURS.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE, AND MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ANY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WE MANAGED TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER, STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THIS HAD HAPPENED 1+ YEARS PREVIOUSLY, AND WE DISCOVERED FORD HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY, AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THAT WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME I PAID TO HAVE THE SAME THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AS IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING, IE. RANDOMLY I WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED AND POTENTIAL IN HIGH TRAFFIC. ITS TERRIFYING TO LOSE THAT KIND OF CONTROL. I BELIEVE A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION HAD BEEN OPENED FOR THIS ISSUE, THUS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. BUT CLEARLY FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IF IT CAN CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ODOR OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER THE FUEL TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE IN PARK AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING, STRONG FUEL FUMES EMITTING FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

GAS SMELL INSIDE CAR. ON THIRD OR FOURTH DAY OF RECURRING SMELL, TOOK TO SERVICE. SERVICE TECH HAD DIFFICULTY FINDING LEAK, AS THEIR WAS NO VISIBLE DRIPS TO THE GROUND. RETURNED TO DRIVING WHILE THE GAS SMELL BECAME STRONGER. RETURNED TO SERVICE, THIS TIME HE FOUND THE SOURCE TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM WAS ACTUALLY THE ELBOW PLASTIC NECK LEADING INTO THE FUEL PUMP WAS SPEWING GAS FROM AN INVISIBLE HAIRLINE CRACK. THE LEAK STOPS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE LOCATION OF THE FUEL PUMP IS UNDER THE REAR SEAT - CAUSING A THICK SMELL OF GAS AND EXTREME DANGER OF EXPLOSION. I HAVE NEVER HAD REPAIR WORK ON THAT PART. THIS APPARENTLY IS DUE TO MANUFACTURE FLAW IN MATERIALS. I AM A NEW WIDOW AND LOOKING AT A $650 REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP. I CONSIDERED DEALING WITH EPOXY BUT AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE AND RISK. *TR

2011 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE AND SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD

THE THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY W/ O WARNING. I FOUND OUT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT DONE ANYYTHING ABOUT IT , IN MOTION

TAKATA RECALL STOPPED AT STOP SIGN TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD WOULD ONLY MOVE AT A TINY CRAWL RED WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON MADE IT HOME STILL ONLY BARELY MOVING. TURNED MOTOR OFF RESTARTED EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IN VERY MUCH TRAFFIC. IF THIS HAPPENS ON BUSY HIGHWAY COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.

MY 2011 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED VIN NUMBER [XXX] WHILE DRIVING LOSES ALL ACCELERATION WHICH REQUIRES ME TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR SO IT WILL RUN NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 6 TIMES TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER GETTING THE CODES RUN IT CAME BACK WITH P2111 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND TO BE HONEST IT IS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE WHEN IT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I NOTICED A LIGHT GAS SMELL IN MY GARAGE ONE DAY AND FIGURED PERHAPS BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE A GAS LID THAT IS WHY I WAS SMELLING IT. THE NEXT DAY, MY DAUGHTER USED MY CAR TO PICK UP A GAS GRILL FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT WHICH SHE LEFT IN MY CAR OVERNIGHT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE GAS SMELL WAS REALLY STRONG SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT, HUNTINGTON FORD. WHEN THE SERVICE MAN CAME NEAR IT HE SAID TO STEP AWAY FROM THIS CAR AS IT WAS DANGEROUS TO BE NEAR IT AND THAT I HAD TO LEAVE IT. AFTER A DAY OR SO, THEY TOLD ME THAT SOME KIND OF "PEBBLE" MUST HAVE RUBBED A HOLE IN MY FUEL LINE AND THAT IS WOULD BE $634.62 FOR PARTS AND REPAIR. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN ON A FIXED INCOME AND I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND PUT PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER? MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER WHEN THEY PUT THE HEAVY OBJECT IN IT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN SMOKING NEARBY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HUNTINGTON FORD, FORD MOTOR AND WRITTEN 2 SEPARATE LETTERS TO FORD MOTOR AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP ME GET A REFUND FOR PARTS OR LABOR ON THIS. IN MY MIND THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME SINCE I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS PUT INTO HARMS WAY. I DON'T LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD, IN FACT I DON'T KNOW WHEN I EVEN DROVE ON ONE LAST. HOW COULD A "PEBBLE" DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND IF SO, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER THAT MAY LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD AND NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS I AM THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF. I HAVE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE TO YOU INCLUDING MY REPAIR RECEIPT FROM HUNTINGTON FORD AND THE LETTERS THAT I SENT TO FORD MOTOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR LISTENING. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY AS A CONSUMER AND I AM REGRETTING MY DECISION FOR PURCHASING A VEHICLE FROM FORD MOTOR BECAUSE OF THIS MATTER. *TR UPDATED 02/25/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CHECK FUEL INLET ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THE WATER PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 4/29/15*CN

THE ESCAPE LEAKS GASOLINE THROUGHOUT THE GAS PUMP ONLY WHEN IT'S TURNED ON. AND THE BACK DOOR DOESN'T OPEN, IT'S LOCKED. *TR

VEHICLE CONTINUED TO JUMP, THEN CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THROTTLE BODY WAS THE CAUSE. *JS

DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AND I HAVE NO POWER. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT DROVE FINE THE NEXT 3 MILES TO MY HOME. *JS

DRIVING ON A WINDING, MOUNTAINOUS ROAD THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, SO I KEPT GOING, VERY SLOWLY, AND THEN IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATING RESPONSIVENESS, ONLY TO LOSE POWER AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED FOR THE 4 MILES IT TOOK FOR ME TO GET HOME. I HOPED IT WAS SOME BAD GAS AND WAS A ONE-TIME EVENT - UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO GET HOME. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTION. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON . COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION. CAR LIMPED HOME [FORTUNATELY ONLY 300 YARDS] @ LESS THAN WALKING PACE. NOT HAPPY AND HAS AFFECTED MY CONFIDENCE IN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. LUCKILY FORD AGENT HELPFUL. *TR

AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THEN VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ANY ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER COMPLETELY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT TOOK APPROX 7 SECONDS TO TURN OVER AND AFTER MAKING ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THERE WASN'T ANY CHANGE. I DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES AND ON THE THIRD TRY, THE VEHICLE RESPONDED TO PROMPTS FROM THE ACCELERATOR. BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT WERE STILL LIT UP, BUT I DROVE THE CAR TO THE AUTOPORT AND WAS GIVEN THE TROUBLE CODE P2112 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

IN THE PEAK OF TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STALLED AND STARTED CHOKING. ALMOST WOULD BARELY RUN. HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STOP IN THE REST AREA AND HAD TO PAY THE TOW TRUCK. VEHICLE CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. AND THE WARRANTY IS NOT COVERING. *TR

TURNING OFF THE FEEDER ROAD OF THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND WAS UNABLE TO APPLY THE GAS. THE ENGINE WAS ON BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY, MY GAS PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST OFF TO SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND SUV BEGAN TO IDLE EXTREMELY ROUGHLY. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. RESEARCHED ISSUE TODAY AND FOUND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS PROBLEM. ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 VEHICLE STALLED OUT, HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH AND SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND STALLED OUT 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN COUPLE MILES. HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND CANNOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTERED AND STALLED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE DRIVER HAD TO GUIDE CAR TO SHOULDER WHILE AVOIDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT THE DRIVER WAS SCARED AND THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO OUR SERVICE STATION AND THEY FOUND THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE OR IMPAIRED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH AND HALF WAY UP A SLIT HILL WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I QUICKLY PUT MY HAZARDS ON, STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE CAR. LUCKILY IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE I WAS ON THE DOWN SLOP OF THE HILL AND OTHER CARS COULD NOT SEE ME RIGHT AWAY.

ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD RUN FINE UNTIL WITHOUT WARNING IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE WRENCH WOULD LIGHT UP ON DASHBOARD WHEN STALLING. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD TO HAVE CHECKED OUT, WAS TOLD THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THREE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE DOLLARS LATER IT SEEMED TO BE REPAIRED, THAT IS UNTIL TODAY 09/21/2013 IT STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME STALLING CONDITION. WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 62,328 MILES ON IT. WE ALSO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE OBD INDICATES THE O2 SENSORS ARE NOT HEATING UP PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO MOSTLY HAPPEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD OR SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS. WEIRD ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. AUTOMAKERS NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY SOME ONE FOR SELLING UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS VEHICLES TO US AND THEN EXPECT US TO KEEP PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKES! THANK YOU

TRAVELING IN A HIGHWAY, CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES AND ENGINE SLOWS TO ABOUT 800 RPM. THE CAR ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF BUT PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR HAS NO EFFECT ON ENGINE SPEED AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. PUTTING IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL HAS NO EFFECT EITHER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF USING IGNITION SWITCH AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE THROTTLE OPERATED NORMALLY. FROM THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED IT HAS REPEATED ITSELF EVERY FEW DAYS WITH REPEATS GETTING MORE OFTEN. I WAS OUT OF STATE WHEN IT OCCURRED SO HAD TO RETURN HOME TO GET CAR REPAIRED. WAITING ON APPOINTMENT NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, ENGINE CUT OUT BUT REMAINED IDLING WITH NO POWER. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED WHILE IN "PARK" GEAR POSITION. TRAVELED 1500 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, THEN ENGINE LOST POWER ON 08/12/2013 WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON FREEWAY. PULLED TO SIDE OF FREEWAY AND RESTARTED CAR WHILE IN "PARK." CAR RAN FINE FOR ANOTHER 1500 MILES, THEN ON 09/06/2013 BEGAN LOSING POWER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE GOING 30 MPH (ODOMETER WAS AT 28,944). LIMPED HOME AND CALLED LINCOLN/FORD DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED FOR TOW. CAR IS PRESENTLY AT DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR WARRANTY REPAIR; "THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY" ON ORDER. THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE SENT TO ME REGARDING THIS FORD ESCAPE ENGINE FAULT. THE FREEWAY LOSS OF POWER INCIDENT PUT FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD. *TR

TRAVELING AT 40MPH YIELDING ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP AND THE CAR JUST DIES WITH NO WARNING. STOP THE CAR AND IT STARTED BACK UP. DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS AND TWO DAYS LATER IT DIED AGAING TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS SINCE REPEATED THIS 4 TIMES.

PULLING ONTO A EXIT RAMP, LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE, RPMS WERE ERRATIC 1000. WAS ABLE TO OFF TO THE SIDE, TURNED ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED. DROVE ANOTHER 2 OR SO MILES, SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WRENCH LIGHT ON. AFTER ANOTHER WAIT AND RESTART, SAME RESULT. THREE FAILURES IN 7 MILES. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I USED MY OBD CODE READER TO PULL A "P2112) FAULT CODE. I PURCHASED AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE PLATE CONTROLLER,($350.00) THAT EVENING FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. SO FAR, A WEEK LATER (KNOCK ON WOOD), HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE. BTW THE REPLACEMENT FORD PART IS A DIFFERENT UPDATED PART.

APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ENGINE SPEED DROPPED TO 1000 RPM, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND STILL COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED ON ENGINE. WRENCH DISPLAYED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. TURNED ENGINE OFF, AFTER 5-10 MINUTES STARTED ENGINE, THE WRENCH WAS NO LONGER DISPLAYED ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. DROVE HOME, ABOUT 20 MILES, WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. *JB

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, LOST ALL POWER, DRIVE TRAIN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO COAST ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC TO EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT OFF CAR. TURNED BACK ON AND CAR WORKED NORMALLY, NO WARNING LIGHTS. TRAVELED SEVERAL MILES AND HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD DEALER SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND IT WOULD COST ME $400 TO REPAIR. FORD HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING $400 THROTTLE ACTUATORS EVERY 30,000 MILES. THE CODE WAS P2111. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.*JB

WAS DRIVING THE CAR, AND IT LOST POWER, AND THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. AFTER SHUTTING IGNITION OFF, DROVE THE CAR A LITTLE FARTHER, AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GARAGE DIAGNOSED IT AS THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN MY CAR SHUDDERED, AND I NO LONGER HAD ANY GAS WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL ON, SO I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES--ALWAYS A SHUDDER AND THEN NO GAS--BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. THEY LOOKED FOR A REPLACEMENT, BUT THEY SAID THE PART WAS ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THEY SAID I COULD GET THE PART CLEANED (AT MY EXPENSE), BUT THEY WOULDN'T GUARANTEE IT. SINCE I FREQUENTLY HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN MY CAR, AND SINCE I AM FREQUENTLY ON THE INTERSTATE AT MUCH, MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS, I THINK I'LL WAIT FOR THE NEW PART--WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD HAS BEEN REDESIGNED. OF COURSE INSURANCE AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES WON'T PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR WHILE WAITING FOR A PART, SO I'M AT HOME--WRITING YOU! THE REAL REASON THAT I'M WRITING, OF COURSE, IS THAT THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. FOR MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAS A LITTLE SCARY. SINCE THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PART NATIONWIDE, I ASSUME I'M NOT THE FIRST, OR EVEN THE SECOND, PERSON TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD CAR. BTW, I CALLED NHTSA, AND MY REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND MYSELF AS PASSENGERS WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. I DROVE IT ABOUT TWO MILES AND IT, AGAIN, WENT INTO LIMP MODE......ENGINE RUNNING BUT NO POWER. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE HAD IT OVER A WEEK AND SAY THAT THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY CAN NOT FIX ANYTHING UNLESS IT SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER. THERE IS ONLY 150 MILES LEFT WHILE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY (36,000 MILES). I WILL NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. WE ARE AT A STALEMATE AND I AM OUT TRANSPORTATION. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS. *TR

REPEATED STALLING OF VEHICLE WHILE IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON. CAR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND RESTARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN. FIRST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD US THE COST TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY TOLD US WE COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE THE PART IS ON ORDER. THEY DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE PARTS FOR ANOTHER 6 WEEKS! IN THE MEANTIME, THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE REPEATED PROBLEMS AND WOULD JUST STOP AND JERK SUDDENLY UPON ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER AND ARE WAITING ON THEM TO COMPLETE A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. SCARED FOR OUR LIVES! SURELY A RECALL WILL REIMBURSE US FOR REPAIRS, TOWING AND RENT CAR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-10 TOWARDS HOUSTON, TX, AS I CAME UPON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS AT AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND COAST TO A STOP AT A CONVENIENCE STORE ON THE SERVICE ROAD. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO GET BACK ON I-10 TO CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION. AS SOON AS I RAN INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN AND LET OFF OF THE GAS PETAL, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RE-START THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS STILL COASTING. THIS CONTINUED FOR THE NEXT 10 MILES OR SO AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING AT, WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHENEVER I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR, APPROXIMATELY 10 - 12 MORE TIMES. AS I WAS STUCK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN A STRANGE CITY, THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD WAS TO DRIVE WITH 2 FEET; 1 ON THE ACCELERATOR PETAL AND 1 ON THE BRAKE PETAL. I WOULD HAVE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND PRESS THE GAS PETAL TO INCREASE RPMS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ENGINE FROM STALLING. FORTUNATELY IT DID RESTART EVERY TIME AND I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT GETTING IN A WRECK. THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF AT JOE MYERS FORD IN HOUSTON, TX, ON 6/6/13 @ 7:00AM TO BE CHECKED. UPON INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER AND WON'T BE IN FOR 3 WEEKS. I'M 1,500 MILES OUT OF THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, SO THEY CALLED MY EXTENDED WARRANT COMPANY TO ARRANGE FOR A RENTAL SO I CAN DRIVE BACK HOME TO NEW ORLEANS, LA. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL ONLY PAY FOR 5 DAYS OF THE RENTAL, SO I AM AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM FORD TO SEE HOW TO PROCEED WITH BOTH THE RENTAL UNTIL MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND THE TIMING OF HOW LONG THIS REPAIR WILL TAKE. *TR

IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THROTTLE. MANAGED TO PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND NOTICE ENGINE STILL RUNNING AND CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT ON, STILL NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. TURNED OFF ENGINE AND WAITED 30 MINUTES. RESTARTED ENGINE APPEARED TO RAN FINE. STARTED DOWN THE ROAD GOT ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE 2 OR MORE WEEKS TO GET THE PART IF WE ARE LUCKILY. THEY OFFERED NO LOANER CAR AND TOLD ME I COULD RENT A CAR. *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. SUDDENLY I LOST FUEL POWER. ENGINE REMAINED ON. SURGES OF SWAYING OR WARD & BACKWARDS PRIOR TO LOSS OF FUEL POWER. RESEMBLED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS, HOWEVER I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK FULL. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED. WELL, IT HAPPENS A LOT NOW. HAD A NEW FUEL FILTER, GA TREATMENT, NEW GASOLINE ETC. IT HAPPENS DAILY. FINALLY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS P2111 & P2112. FUEL ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN, OTHER STUCK CLOSED. I AM A NURSE MARKETER, SINGLE MOM I FOUR AND I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE 700.00 TO HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NONETHELESS, I AM LUCKY I HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED YET ON THE INTERSTATE BY THIS PROBLEM. I'M HAVING TO BORROW A CR NOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. AFTER GOOGLING, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD SINCE AT LEAST 2004. DOES ANYBODY REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR LIVES & OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES. LET'S GET THIS FIXED. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED. *TR

AS I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY, MY CAR MESSAGE CENTER ALERTED ME TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT, THE CAR SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO GET INTO PARKING LOT ON ELECTRIC, I GUESS. IT WAS TOWED TO UTTER FORD, IN SHERMAN, TX. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ELECTRICAL. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I PICKED IT UP ON 12/3 AROUND 2:30PM. I GOT 40 MILES AND THE CAR WENT INTO FAIL/SAFE MODE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. HITTING THE BREAK DID NOT HELP. THE CAR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF TO KEEP THE ENGINE FROM REVVING. IT WAS TOWED TO DAVID MCDAVID LINCOLN IN PLANO, TEXAS. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING REGISTERING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC. ON THEIR SECOND TEST DRIVE, THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE THE DRIVER WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY HAD TO SEND A TOW TRUCK TO GET HIM. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. *TR
