FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 17, 2003.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS . i have a 2003 ford escape. on april 17, 2003 i took my vehicle into the ford dealership in vacaville with a complaint about the brakes making a grinding noise (25,503 miles). they told me that they could not duplicate the noise and checked the front brakes. they claimed to have measured the brake pads at above 5mm of pad remaining. the noise continued. i took the vehicle back to the dealership on june 27, 2003 (28,720 miles). this time they heard the noise as well as a bearing noise. they measured the brakes at 3mm and told me that the rotors may be warped. i left the vehicle for the bearing repair and received a phone message (on my answering machine) that they re-measured that brake pads and found them to be 2mm not 3mm. they didn't mention anything about the rotors. i asked about the excessive wear of the brake pads and they said that it was normal wear. they told me that they could do nothing about the pads or the rotors. i called my brother-in-law that works for ford and told him about my experience. he made some phone calls and found out from one of ford's engineers that they have problems with brake wear (both pads and rotors) on the escape and the ford focus. today (30,270 miles) i took my escape to midas and had a brake inspection. the midas employee said that the rotors are worn down below specs and need to be replaced. he also said that the rotors should not wear that quickly. as to the pads he said that it was normal wear because they are ceramic pads. i went to the ford dealership in vacaville with this information. they told me that there was nothing that ford could do for me about the brake rotors. the individual told me that ford uses soft aluminum rotors on both the escape and the focus and they wear out very quickly. my concern for ford is that if they use substandard equipment and do not seem to be concerned, are they not opening themselves up to a law suit if their "soft rotors" fail and cause an accident. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Vehicle Speed Control

Ford Escape 2003 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10047388

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 09, 2003.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . when driving our 2003 ford escape, the car's engine speed would suddenly jump from 1,500 rpms to as high as 4,000+ rpms while braking. same deal while trying to coast to a stop - the pedal seemed to be stuck in position and engine rpms would not decrease. the car was nursed to the closest town and taken to a ford dealership first thing in the morning. the shop foreman did an on-the-spot diagnosis without taking a real look under the hood stating that the problem was most likely due to the accelerator cable binding. there was additional damage to the car's brakes. we asked for an appraisal of the brakes, and four individual ford personnel (one shop foreman, one dealer service department manager, and two separate ford customer service personnel) stated the damage sustained was unnecessary wear directly caused by a defective accelerator cable. however, none of the people associated with ford were willing to replace the damaged brakes under warranty. the final person we spoke with went so far as to put the responsibility on the shoulders of the dealership that sold us the car. the analogy given was that all ford dealerships are completely independent, and that any problems with a ford vehicle is the direct responsibility of the selling dealership. unfortunately this incident happened when we were relocating from the east coast to alaska. it has been our experience that ford cares not at all about the people who spend tens of thousands of dollars on their products - people who rightly expect a safe and dependable vehicle. ford's chief concern is lining their pockets with money, and not with the safety of the customer, their family, and the other people on the road. *la.Mileage was 16000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 27, 2004.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on my way to work yesterday, i was exiting the highway onto an off-ramp. i did not have the gas pedal pressed, yet the truck was accelerating to speeds over 70 mph. i tried pressing on the brakes, but that did not stop the truck. i finally put the truck in neutral in order to avoid an accident. while sitting at the intersection waiting for the light to change, still in neutral, the truck's engine was revving higher & higher. the truck was literally rocking back & forth. when the light turned green, i put the truck in drive & it raced on. i was very careful to allow ample space in-between my truck & other drivers. i had 2 other intersections to go through before arriving at my work location. i would continue to put the truck in neutral while sitting at an intersection. this was a very scary experience. if i hadn't of reacted so quickly, i would have crashed into other vehicles and would have caused an accident. i was lucky that this did not occur while i was in the stop & go traffic closer to my home. this experience shook me up for quite some time. i contacted the nearest ford dealer & was told to contact ford's roadside assistance to have the truck towed to the dearlership. within minutes the tow truck arrived & took my truck to the dealership. the dealership replaced the throttle cable under warranty & within a few hours, i was driving my truck again. after the replacement, there seemed to be no resistance while pushing the gas pedal. therefore, i did not notice this problem that was about to explode. after my experience, i now see there have been other cases such as mine. i was lucky. how many others won't be?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28603 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2004.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES . on 10/15/04 i had just entered a 6 lane interstate (high speed urban traffic) and had to quickly move over 3 lanes as the right 2 lanes were exit only about one half mile from my entrance point. after accelerating to merge into a gap to the left i found that the car was continuing to accelerate even though i was not depressing the accelerator, and was about to rear end a flatbed truck. the brakes had little effect on slowing the car. after some violent maneuvering and several near collisions i was able to get to the shoulder and switch the ignition off. the car was towed to a local ford dealership, where they found the problem was a defective accelerator cable. the plastic covering had frayed/disintegrated, jamming the cable such that the throttle return spring(s) were unable to close the throttle. the service writer said he had not seen this problem before. however, i did a cursory search on the nhtsa website and found a significant number of similar and identical incidents (only searched 2003 model year and only "vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal" component). there were 8 incidents that were clearly the result of defective accelerator cables (10068000, 10015965, 10047388, 10023519, 10051175, 10024424, 10026817 and 10082787) and 6 that were probably/possibly the result of defective accelerator cables (10018602, 10043060, 10062971, 10015506, 10092028 and 10040552). the seriousness and number of incidents would seem to warrant investigation/recall. i requested the defective cable from the service writer, but he indicated that as it was a warranty item it had to be returned to ford. however, i did take 2 pictures if they would be of any help.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23275 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 31, 2005.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with OTHER . periodically and unpredictably, the key will not turn. sometimes, it can be forced, if you are strong enough. other times it cannot even be forced. but then it will work the next day. moving the stearing wheel does not allow the key to turn even when trying to turn the wheel with force. my car has been towed once because 3 people tried and could not turn either key i have for the vehicle. i've been told by mechanics that this is a common ford problem. i believe it is a safety concern because you never know where/when you will be stranded, whether or not you will have access to a phone. one mechanic said he could rebuild the stearing column and that had worked for other people with the same problem - however, that dealership would not provide a loaner car so i would be without any transportation for 1-2 days. the dealership where i bought my car has refused to do anything because the problem is sporatic and they say they cannot duplicate it. the ignition has locked 4 times in the past month. additonally - the abs brakes only work intermitently which makes it difficult when making the split second decision of whether to slam on the brakes or pump the brake..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 31, 2006.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . i was driving my vehicle from minnesota to idaho when, i've been told, a connector belt broke and broke through the engine. as a result, the entire engine must be replaced. i was pulling a 5 x 8 trailer with a class 3 hitch and i've been advised by the service technician that the trailer did not contribute to the breakdown. as the vehicle cleared a hill on an interstate, there was a loud noise from the bottom of the truck and spraying liquid and smoke. when we inspected the vehicle, the oil had completely drained from the oil reservoir (i've been advised that the oil cap was firmly in place and did not contribute to the incident). the vehicle was towed to a local dealership and is currently in process of receiving a new engine. there is a hole in the bottom of the truck and "metal parts in the engine." i've asked about why the failure occurred and the service technician stated that they didn't know. when i called ford customer service about this they told me that the engine will be sent to ford for analysis but the findings will not be shared with me. my concern about this breakdown is that this is the second new ford vehicle i've purchased where the engine had to be replaced shortly following the expiration of the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. this current vehicle has 35,552 miles and the warranty expired on 6/14/06. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35552 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 26, 2007.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . beginning in april 2007, my 2003 ford escape xlt (current mileage 118754) experienced an intermittent problem with the air bag warning light. if the power driver's seat had been moved, then the light would appear and flash on the instrument panel for a period of time, then disappear without any action taken. this series of event happened 2-3 times between april - june, 2007. the last time the problem surfaced was june 25, 2007. the light was flashing when i started my vehicle on june 26, 2007. approximately 5 minutes after starting my vehicle on that date, i was stopped at an intersection when a truck approaching from my left lost its trailer. the trailer crashed into the front driver's side of my vehicle at approximately 60 miles per hour. none of the air bags within my vehicle deployed. my vehicle sustained severe damage to the front end. although no injuries were sustained as a result of this accident, i believe that an impact of this force into my front bumper should have deployed my front air bags, and that the failure to deploy can be attributed to the faulty sensor on my instrument panel..Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118754 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Other Review #10209227

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 24, 2007.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with OTHER . i recently noticed that the paint on my 2003 ford escape was peeling and flaking at an alarming rate, both on the roof and on the rear panel. the paint was so loose that a strong wind was able to pick up the edges and strip it off the car. on october 24, 2007 i took it to my local ford dealership, napleton's northwestern ford in chicago, for an appointment with the zone district manager. he declined my request for financial help in repairing this problem, citing that the warranty period had expired. my estimate for repair from napleton's recommended body shop said, in writing, that the peeling paint was caused by delamination of paint and a bad priming prep job. i sent a copy of the estimate, pictures of the damage and a letter of explanation to both the ford customer relations center in detroit and my dealership owner - and received back a short form letter from detroit stating that they would not help me financially as the warranty period had expired. although i realize that the warranty period has expired, i believe that my paint problem was caused by substandard work at the factory, a belief substantiated by the body shop. recalls are done all the time for parts that are faulty, regardless of warranty. my paint job was faulty, and therefore i believe ford should help me fix it. according to the center for auto safety and other web sites, paint should not be peeling off cars that are only 4 or 5 years old. i got the damage fixed, which cost me nearly $1,200. prior to owning my escape, i owned a ford escort for 10 years, which never had a paint problem. up until now i have been a loyal ford customer, but since it appears that cutting corners and doing substandard work is their mode of operation, i will never buy another new ford. *tr .Mileage was 64500 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2009.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . in august, 2009 i purchased a 2003 ford escape xlt from economy honda in chattanooga, tn. the vehicle has contitec p235/70r16 tires on it. a routine overall vehicle inspection was done at that time. on thursday, november 19 i took my vehicle to a local lube shop to have the oil changed and when the attendant put air in the tires, he noticed cracks and tread was pulling away from all four tires and advised me not to drive too far before i replaced them (i had plans to go to nc this weekend). the following morning i took the vehicle to a continental tire dealer who verified the condition of the tires and recommended immediate replacement, which i did for $483.00. i see several recalls of contitec tires on your website for various reasons. could there have been a recall on these tires. the car only had a little over 45,000 miles on it when i bought it. it especially upsets me to know my grandson has been in this vehicle with me riding on potentially dangerous tire. thanks. *tr tahona tate.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMCU93193K.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 07, 2003.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i own a 2003 ford escape, recently purchased pre-owned. after having the vehicle approximately 3 weeks, while putting it into reverse to back up, suddenly it was as if the accelerator got stuck, the motor was revving up to 4 grand....i put the vehicle drive thinking maybe my floor mat was stuck under it, as i pulled to a redlight, i almost ran through the redlight with oncoming traffic because acceleration increased and it took all i had to stop the car by pushing the brakes with both feet as hard as i could. the floormats were not the problem.... i pulled off the side of the road, with my one year old baby in the back seat. i then turned the escape off, and restarted it, the engine sounded as if it were going to blow, it was revving up to 4 and 5 grand. i then called a mechanic i knew, he came to get my vehicle to drive it back to his shop. during his very very short drive, he never had to put his foot on the gas at all, and the vehicle drove 40 miles per hour by itself... so far, all we know is that the iac valve had went bad...(idle air control)....i have had it back a few days and not had any more problems at this time, although i am very careful and scared this will happen again.... during research, i found their were almost 500,000 2003 model ford escapes recalled for similar problems with the acceleration. i contacted 2 different people with ford motor company, on 2 separate occasions, explaining what had happened. they both assured me that "my vehicle" was not one of the half million involved in the recall. i find something very wrong with this because this was not just a freak thing that happened. this is dangerous and could have cost me and my baby our lives. there are to many other complaints by people with the same exact thin that has happened to them, and they are being told the same stories. something isn't right, and ford motor company needs to investigate further into this potentially deadly problem. *tr.Mileage was 145000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 30, 2004.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE . i have never trusted the 4 wheel drive. after first winter usage, the sounds it made when engaged and when turning the wheel sounded like a rubbing bushing or something within the gearbox. 2 dealers said you couldn't really test it in the summer, as you needed the snow for it to activate properly, but it still bucks when turning the wheel, so much so, that i do not trust it to use. i've owned jeep 4wheel and all- wheel versions, so that is why i don't trust it. i know ford has over the years upgraded this system, but it was still a $1600 option when i bought it, and expect it to work. have there been similar complaints, as i have never received a recall notice for this problem, but have had 2 other recall fixes made. after the toyota braking problem, i feel this is of equal consequence. it always seemed to be worse when going in reverse. *tr.Mileage was 7000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Vehicle Speed Control

Ford Escape 2003 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10488069

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2010.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i took off on a 4 lane highway one morning and depressed the gas pedal mostly as i was merging in traffic. when i attempted to let off the pedal, the car continued to accelerate. this was the second time this has happened to this car. currently there have been two recalls regarding a random acceleration problem. the first was repaired when it happened due to an accelerator cable problem. this time, i quickly shifted to neutral and pulled over...coincidentally next to a state police officer. he assisted me in releasing the throttle body on this car as it was clearly stuck. the date i provided is not an exact date, however, i called ford the day it happened and they said they couldn't do anything about it because the original recall was said to be fixed. i left the engine cover off up until today, which is because it's being fixed due to the current recall. this brings me to my current issue. i have called ford once more since the incident asking them if they found the solution and if they would repair my cruise control cable, as it was damaged (which also is the description of the recall). they say it's a pre-existing condition which is very untrue because i have called twice about this issue, long before the recall. i verified that they do show record that i called. i want them to pay for this $35 cruise cable because it's their fault it broke, due from a safety issue, and i called about it long before this recall which should prove i have a legitimate complaint. fortunately for ford and myself, i was intelligent enough to know how to stop the vehicle prior to an accident. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 110000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Engine Review #10494651

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 30, 2009.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . i preface my comments by stating that i am a powertrain engineer for an american auto manufacturer. i owned a 2003 ford escape which i sold to my mother-in-law in 2011. we have experienced throttle sticking with the vehicle both before and after the cruise control recall. after receiving a frantic call from her this evening that the throttle had stuck while traveling 70 mph on the highway, i have grown sick of remaining silent. there is another large problem that the cruise control recall does not address. in cold temperatures, the throttle can freeze due to introduction of humid air from the pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) system. the humid air combines with the sub-freezing fresh air to freeze on the throttle valve and render the gas pedal useless. while i owned the escape from 2007-2011, i experienced the frozen throttle several times. after the dealership was unable to resolve the problem, i grew frustrated knowing that the vehicle was unsafe but was morally withheld from selling the vehicle to an unsuspecting customer. i began to investigate the issue and the circumstances which caused it. this was when i discovered the pcv issue. i created a fix for the system and saw all throttle sticking/freezing issues go away. after driving the vehicle for two years with no issues, i felt comfortable selling the vehicle to my mother-in-law. however, when she took the vehicle to the dealership this summer for the cruise control recall, the dealership removed the pcv fix i had in place. i was unaware of this until tonight when i received her frantic call that the throttle was stuck (it is 15 deg f here). upon inspecting the vehicle, i saw that the pcv system had been restored to the original faulty configuration by the dealership which created the freezing conditions again. disaster was avoided tonight, but i don't want it to happen again. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 90000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2013.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . the front brake line hoses blew out (r & l) while driving in the city. the parking brake was ineffective in slowing the vehicle as it was traveling down hill. with no means of slowing, the vehicle was turned into a parking lot in an attempt to get on level ground where it was more controllable and could be stopped more easily. the parking lot was not large enough to slow the vehicle and a choice had to be made to crash into a building or drive off the edge of the parking lot to another lot that was approximately 4 feet lower. the 2nd option was chosen. once the vehicle had landed with great force, it was directed uphill where it eventually came to a stop and put into park. unfortunately, extensive damage was done to the frame and underside of the vehicle including oil pan, exhaust system, engine mounts, radiator support frame and under body engine and transmission mounting points. i was told by the tow truck driver, the firestone auto center and found in other research that ford escapes are known for rubber brake line failures. i have had vehicles much older than this and have never had a rubber brake line dry rot and rupture like these. this seems to be a known issue and should be addressed before more damage is done and more people injured or worse. we were lucky. this could have been much worse. safety issues like this need to be addressed with an immediate recall. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 165878 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 23, 2013.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR . i had the alternator go out in the middle of a busy intersection in the middle of rush hour traffic. i was very fortunate not to have gotten hit. however, there was an accident involving 2 other vehicles due to my being stopped. an alternator going out is not normally something to file a complaint on. it went out again in 4 days. ok, bad alternator, it happens. i get on google to find out that this is an ongoing problem with the 2003 escapes and it's listed all over the internet. i had no advanced warning that this was going out. i'm almost afraid to drive out of town. i don't know about you all, but, i am financially in bad shape due to the economy. i am working full time for the same wages i made in the 1980's i can't afford multiple automobile repairs for a problem that requires as much time to replace as this does. the front axle has to be removed in order to replace it so it is not a cheap repair. why would a repair shop want to honor a faulty part when evidently it's an ongoing problem with the vehicle. i sure wouldn't!!! when is this alternator defect going to cause a serious accident and someone's kids get killed. had i been farther into the intersection, it would have been much worse.[xxx] like i said, i had no warning, it just died. i have 160,000 miles on the vehicle so i can understand the first one going out. but what about the 2nd 4 days later? and this is a nationwide problem that has been going on for several years and ford is aware of it!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) *tt.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 160000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 07, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i took my vehicle in for the recall due to involuntary acceleration and had the recall completed about 1-1.5 years ago. today, when i was leaving work for lunch, the vehicle automatically began accelerating when it was taken out of park. when i would try to stop, the vehicle would stop for a second, then begin to try to accelerate again. i was able to make it home safely only because i thought to put the vehicle into neutral at any stop signs or stop lights, then back into drive when the lights turned green again. i only knew to do this because i had had the same type of issues prior to the recall. in this incident, i never once used the cruise control though. it accelerated all on its own. i had one other situation similar to this about a year ago, but that was when i was using my cruise control and it wouldn't disengage. my local ford dealership will not look at it unless i pay the $80 diagnostic fee, which is ridiculous because this issue was supposed to have been fixed. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 145000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 25, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . we purchased the vehicle 30 minutes prior. we were in stop and go traffic until leaving the freeway 1 lights prior to the accident. when my daughter tried to use the brakes the pedal went straight to the floor. when she pumped them numerous times, there wasn't any change. she didn't have any brakes. she rear ended my newly purchased vehicle from the same dealership. police were at the light where she rearended me. they confirmed no brakes, my husband did, the tow truck driver too. when it was received to the body shop on monday morning the brakes were very soft according to the technician. after sitting for a week, the brakes worked fine. they cant determine why the brakes failed. the dealership was the first call i made at the accident and they told me they know it had legal brakes. come to find out the brake fluid was black and has an outstanding recall with the abs that had never been taken care of. there is also a recall on certain master cylinders which were faulty/leaking and the stock numbers. unfortunately the stock number was removed from the master cylinder. we have a vehicle that never even made it to our home that is now totaled. the dealership is only going to "make it right" with proof that the brakes failed. the police report states such and i have the report from the bodyshop, but after waiting for the insurance to have the test done, they cant confirm loss of brakes. they can only state the fluid being black. we now are having to fight to not lose our trade in value and to not have a reportable accident against my daughter vs a mechanical failure. this is a nightmare both the dealership and the insurance are not making this easy. the most expensive vehicle i ever owned for 30 minutes is all i can say. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 109419 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Steering Review #10617706

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 21, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . i am writing about a recall for my ford escape. this recall included the front control arms and the subframe. they were being recalled for corosion on the control arms and if separated from the subframe it could cause significant steering loss and loss of control of the car and increasing chance of an accident. i took my car in for the recall fix, they installed a reenforcement part and sent me on my way. after this, slowly, my steering wheel started becoming cock-eyed. after driving it like that for a few days,i noticed that after i take a left turn the car would jerk as the steering wheel straightened. i immediately called the ford dealer that fixed the recall, since the recall clearly stated that it could lose steering control and asked them to look at it again, thinking that he recall was not fixed properly or something else to do with the recall is failing. they looked at it and said that the subframe is coroded and it has nothing to do with the recall. and that it would cost 1800 dollars to fix. i asked why it wasnt included in the recall since the steering is effected, they said that the subframe wasnt included. i have read several documents about this recall and several of them state that the subframe is included. so i called ford customer care, they stated that the recall only included the subframe if the control arm separated from it before the recall was fixed not after. i think this is so unfair, since clearly the subframe was coroded when they did the recall fix. they had to have seen that, just because it wasn't separated at the time doesn't mean it shouldn't be included. anyway, i ended up taking it to my own mechanic who can fix it for alot less, but it is still costing me 1400 dollars!! i can't afford it, can something be done about this, i think it should be fixed for free, and that the sub frame should be included. please help, thanks. recall 14s02..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 79000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Suspension Review #10631927

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . this vehicle is part of the ford recall 14s02 (nhtsb #14v165000 ). i had the recall directed cross-brace installed in june 2014 (3 months ago). i was turning a corner at about 5-10 mph, heard a pop in the right front of the car and then heard a scraping sound and had difficulty steering. i had the vehicle towed to the dealership who found that the cross-brace had failed because the subframe gave way. i was told that the brace was only to provide an envelope of safety if the subframe failed but it was not meant to prevent frame failure or correct frame weakness. i was also told that the subframe repair was not covered as part of the recall and that the repair would cost about $2000. i don't think that a quality vehicle would have a frame failure after only 10 years. i think this is a design flaw and that similar to toyota, ford is trying to say they put in a fix but not really fix the real problem. i believe that my frame was severely weakened before the cross-brace was installed and that the subframe should have been replaced instead of the patch fix designed in the recall which ford admitted to me was only to help prevent injuries, not to fix a known design problem. you would think the mechanics would want to protect customers from potentially lethal structural failures. maybe they do but management is only concerned with profits. failing to stand behind the quality of their product will cost ford; they certainly have lost me..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Suspension Review #10661273

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 28, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . seems we own a ford escape 2003 which needs a cross brace for the sub frame. the reason for the recall is that the sub frame corrodes and the brace will keep the two sides from breaking apart and splitting them into two halfs. that is because it can rust and break. the top of the sub frame of the ford escape is rusted and looks very unsafe. ford would not replace the whole sub frame because it does not effect where they can attach the brace. problem solved ford will not cover the top of the sub frame only the bottom where the brace is installed. question 1: would you or the owner of the ford corp have his daughter and/or his grand daughter drive down rte. 495 doing 65 mph with a rusted-out top sub frame? question 2: i have a brand new ford escape 2014. how long are the iron frame parts of the car good? should i sell it at 5 years or 6? i know that 10 years is too long.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 153000 miles.

Ford Escape 2003 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10677033

FORD ESCAPE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2015.FORD ESCAPE 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on 1/19/1993, i experienced uncontrolled acceleration in my 2003 ford escape. i turned off the engine and coasted to a stop. fortunately, i was on a low traffic road. after towing the escape to my mechanic, he identified that the acceleration cable was binding against the engine cover. after further identifying a recall related to this (nhtsa campaign number:12v-353), the car was taken to my ford service center, who performed the modification. upon picking up the car after repair and leaving the lot of the ford service center, i immediately experienced uncontrolled acceleration a second time. quickly hitting the breaks and performing a u-turn back into the ford lot, i again turned off the engine and coasted to the garage area. this time i was on a multi-lane road in a high traffic area during 5:00 traffic and suffered near collision with multiple other cars. upon investigating the cause with the service personnel, we observed that the cruise control cable had come loose and bound with the acceleration cable, resulting in the unintended acceleration. on multiple attempts to reconnect the cruise control cable, it became apparent that it would easily come loose and bind again with the acceleration cable. the cruise control cable was disconnected and fixed into location away from the acceleration cable. the dealer did not know or recommend any other method to fix the problem. my observation is that there was significant wear on the cruise control cable connection, possibly as a result of the interference condition with the throttle cover. the current ford recall does not appear to adequately correct the problem or look for this additional problem..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 147000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMYU021X3K. Ford Escape 2003 problem was reported in AMARILLO, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
