What owners report
MY 2007 FORD ESCAPE IS IN MINT CONDITION. I FOUND OUT TODAY I SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT'S VERY UNSAFE. THE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT IN BACK OF THE REAR WHEEL AND RUST HAS BROKEN THE AREA WHERE THE SHOCK ABSORBER ATTACHES TO THE FRAME. PERFECT TUNING CAR THAT I CAN'T USE. UNBELIEVABLE.
THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, AND THE BRAKES FEEL STIFF TO ENGAGE. ONE SHOP FIXED ALL MY ROTORS AND PADS AND A CALIPER, BUT THE BRAKES STILL DID NOT FUNCTION. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO GO TO A DEALER TO GET THE BRAKES BLED... NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE. SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $4000 TO FIX. THE MAIN ABS CONTROL UNIT AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WERE WHAT THE COMPUTERS SAID WERE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SOME PLEADING, THEY AGREED TO TRY A USED PART FOR ONLY $900. AFTER INSTALLING THE USED PART, THE BRAKES STILL DID NOT FUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THE FORD MAIN HELP LINE SAID ONLY NEW PARTS WOULD FIX IT... TECHNIC

IT WAS SO SCARY. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER FINALLY. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 2 MORE TRIES IT STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND THEN FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AT VILLAGE FORD AND THEY REPLACED SOME COOLANT PUMP ($
WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF STARTING VEHICLE, "STOP VEHICLE SAFELY" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ALONG WITH A RED WARNING TRIANGLE. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. TRUCK WAS PUT ON A TRAILER AND BROUGHT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THREE CODES WERE PRESENT, ONE BEING P0A27. FORD'S "FIX" IS TO INSTALL A SERVICE HARNESS AND FLASH THE BCM. ( SEE FORD'S CSP 07B48 AND LATER TSB 09-18-6) ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL, "SOME 2007-2007 ESCAPE HYBRID VEHICLES BUILT FROM 10-13-2003 TO 12-19-2006" MAY EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED ONES, YET IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME RESOLUTION ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. A VEHICLE THAT HAS A HARDWARE/ P
NO PRIOR ISSUE -JUST STARTED TO REV UP WHILE DRIVING THEN CONKED OUT-IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT- NO ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID-NO SMELL NOTHING I BASICALLY ONLY DRIVE THE CARE UP AND DOWN THE STREET I LIVE -NOT A BELTWAY DRIVER-NEVER DRIVE IN SNOW SINCE I AM SECOND OWNER - BOUGHT WHEN 1 YEAR OLD- HAVE HAD 5 YEARS FORD REFUSES TO OFFER WARRANTY AS IT IS 6 YEARS ALSO HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH A STICKING GAS PEDAL- NON ACCELERATING -JUST STICKING AND HAVING TO FORCE IT TO RELEASE BY CONSTANT PRESSING ON IT. *TR
