FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2004.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . on five (5) occasions of filling up my 2004 ford escape gas tank there has been gas spillage. gas will come flying back out of the tank after the pump cuts off. i took the escape back to the dealership and was told nothing was clogging or impeding the flow of gas. i was told not to use the automatic pump because the flow of gas might be too fast. i do not use the automatic pump anymore and the problem still occurs. when the pump sits in the opening for the tank the pump is at an uneven level and even when i pump slowly spillage still occurs. (it takes 5 minutes for me to get 8 gallons of gas. i've timed it.) the problem has occurred at several different gas stations. i have also talked with another owner of a ford escape and he/she does not have this problem. i have to keep a full bottle of water in my car to rinse off the spilled gas before it dries on the side of my car. this is an annoying problem and i'm tired of dealing with it. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMYU93184K.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2005.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR . as my 2004 ford escape turned 25,000 miles, the brake light came on. i took it to my local brake shop, and they advised me that the front brake rotors were warped and had to be replaced as well as the brake pads. the brake fluid was also very low. the brake shop manager stated that it is extremely unusual for rotors to be replaced at 25,000 miles. upon investigating other similar claims on various websites, it appears that ford motor co. had many complaints on various models for the identical problem. according to one complaint website, ford motor co. was subject to a class action by ford consumers in 2003 regarding the replacement of warped rotors on their vehicles and other brake issues. i'd contacted my dealership, and the assistant service manager told me that if the brake problem occured within the 12 month/12,000 mile period, it would be covered; otherwise, it was my financial problem. since ford motor co.has been aware of the inferior brake problem and continues to install the inferior rotors on their new vehicles, why should the consumer continue to have to pay for replacements every year or 25,000 miles? according to the brake specialists, rotors generally are replaced between 60,000 - 85,000 miles, and not 25,000, unless there is a defect in product.*ak.Mileage was 25000 miles.

Ford Escape 2004 Visibility Defroster/defogger System Review #10258648

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2009.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM . i was on my way to work 7am. it was snowing lightly and i briefly turned on the rear window defroster to melt the snow. approximately 1 mile from home i turned off the defroster while sitting at a red light and heard an extremely loud pop. i looked around and did not observe anything unusual. when i looked in my rearview mirror i saw the defroster wires hanging with pieces of glass attached and the rear windshield wiper motor assembly hanging by a thread, i realized the loud noise was my rear windshield exploding. i headed back home to arrange to have the glass replaced - final cost $369.15. the rear wiper motor was damaged during the explosion. after the windshield was replaced it made a loud vibrating noise that was not there before. research on the internet indicates that other ford escape (04, 05 & 06) owners have experienced the same exact potentially dangerous occurrence. these complaints can be viewed at: www.carcomplaints.com i called ford owner services at 800-392-3673 and filed a formal complaint. they told me the vehicle was out of warranty and no recall issued but i should bring the vehicle to ford dealer for inspection and the dealer would decide if repair expense would be covered. the ford dealer told me the vehicle was out of warranty and no recall was issued and that ford motor would decide if repair expense would be covered. dealer told me that ford will not cover any of the repair expenses. the new windshield wiper motor will cost $150 for the part and $50 to install. i am concerned that if the damaged motor is not replaced, it could cause a major electrical problem not to mention the safety issue of not being able to see out of the tailgate window. the dealer offered to charge me only for the part and absorb the labor to install motor. for obvious reasons this should be a recall and ford should be held responsible for the repairs; not the consumer who unknowingly purchased a defective and dangerous product. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 71000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2008.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SEAT BELTS . airbag light flashes and then stays on. warning code is 46. took vehicle into ford dealership to fix this approximately 4 years ago. not sure what service was performed, but the issue was never fixed. light went on again a year later and has gone on and off for years. due to time and cost , could not bring vehicle in for repair a second time. was recently told by ford service rep that i would probably pay $400 to fix. may be seatbelt pretensioner. was informed that airbags would not deploy if this was not fixed.this is a known issue and there was a tsb (technical service bulletin)regarding this issue. in my research i found that there are many ford escape owners having the same problem. due to the high cost to repair, and with so many people out of work, many consumers may not have this work done, which is a safety hazard. to date, i am not able to pay for this repair. due to safety issue this poses there should be a recall for this. *js.Mileage was 46000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2012.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE . at first, my escape only started hesitating on rainy days when i got to about 45-55 mph. at first i thought i had bad gas so i stopped at auto zone to get dry gas for it. this seem to work like a charm and i thought the problem was fixed. then it happened again; spudering, not accelerating, car shaking, and engine light began to flash once i reached 45mph. this had been an issue for a few months on and off, then one sunny day its began hesitating and misfiring very badly now not only in 5th gear but at idle and 1st gear. it misfired and hesitated every time i drove it for a week before the mechanic could get it into the shop. i did a lot of research on the two codes that the engine was pulling p0305 and p0316 pending. i found out that there were a lot of people who had the same problem as me when their escapes reach 90,000 miles or higher, some even worse. people are saying that the issues being caused are a result of ford putting in the wrong spark plugs which is causing the computer chip to burn out leading to misfires in the coil packs. my mechanic just informed me that it will cost $400 to fix two of the coils and there is only a 50/50 chance that it will fix the problem (for now). he said it will probably happen again but there is no telling how long that might be, it might be right away, a week from now, or a year. will all these people having the same issue with no way to tell if it is actually going to fix the problem there should be a recall or at least a warning to owners saying what may happen once the car gets over 100,000 miles. *tt.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 120000 miles.

Ford Escape 2004 Structure Body Review #10459364

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2011.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . for over a year i have been hearing a rattling sound but thought nothing of it, figured a screw was loose in the panelling causing a vibration. i have taken it to a ford service center numerous times complaining of noise, they said they would balance the tires and check the brakes, but never said anything about wheel well rusting through. the rear passenger side wheel well is rusted completely through and the strut is loose due to the rust damage that is continuing to grow. i have recently been investigating the entire vehicle trying to locate the source of the sound, i finally figured it out and decided to take it to auto body shop on 5/22/2012 at 11:33 am and they were stunned to see the inside of the wheel well on the passenger side. the appraiser came out and took pictures and looked at it. after looking it over he turned to me and asked me how old the vehicle is, i said it is a 2004. he said, "i have never seen this happen before." he came to the conclusion that it must be a factory defect. he said when ford was putting the coating on the inside of the wheel well, they must not have coated it enough and moisture got inside causing it to rust. he went back inside and one of the guys from the shop happened to be inside, so he came and looked at it and said he has never seen that happen before either and he has been doing body work for 25 years! he also said it is possibly becoming a safety issue, because the strut is coming loose, due to the rusting out from around the strut. this movement of the strut could potentially cause problems with handling, especially when turning around corners. he grabbed the strut and it shook easily by hand. i have noticed the car pulls to the left whenever i hit a bump in the road, at first i thought it was wind pulling me, but it is happening more often. i called ford, but they said waranty ran out, cant help you. 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 166000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on July 18, 2012.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i do not own a ford escape but rather i'm a mechanic that has ran into this problem 2 or 3 times over the last couple years. the throttle sticks on these vehicles due to the speed control actuator to throttle cable. there is a plastic sleeve around the steel cable that allows the cable to retract freely. the plastic degrades and brakes up over time allowing the speed control throttle cable to bind and wedge its self under the engine cover causing a stuck wide open throttle condition. there should be a recall on this cable. it runs from the speed control (cruise control) actuator to the throttle body butterfly. removal of the engine cover is the simple fix for this issue, but the speed control cable is indeed at fault. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2013.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i want to bring to your immediate attention a serious safety concern i have with my 2004 ford escape. we have owned the car since 2007 (mileage 102,000) and have recently experienced intermittent stalling while the car is in motion. i have had 4 experiences where the car would stall while in motion. it appears to occur when outside temperatures are above 80 degrees and i have traveled in the car for >30 minutes and have made a short stop (for gas or shopping). after continuing my drive after a short stop, the car suddenly shuts off at some point on the way home while the vehicle is in motion, losing all power to the steering and breaking system. the car will start up again (while coasting) with no issue but stall again after a short while. these have been very harrowing experiences on busy roads and fortunate that it was me and not my pregnant wife, as i don't believe she would have had the strength to execute these emergency actions with no power. the car has been at the ford dealership for >1 week but they have failed to replicate the problem. the car remains at the ford dealership until the cause can be determined. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 102000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . well, my ford escape 2004 ltd edition had issues slowing down. i had used the cruise control intermittently and noticed that the vehicle continued as if cruise control was on even after i braked hard and cancelled the cruise control. i shut the vehicle off and tried turning it back on. when it started back up, the vehicle revved to 5,000 rpm in under 5 seconds. i did this twice with the same effect. i brought it in to my ford dealership. they said there was no recall (although now i see them all over the internet). i got a call back after this whole ordeal that the right rear wheel well had completely rusted through and that the shock was not attached to anything. this seems to be a common trend with these vehicles, but there are no recalls. my dealership is bringing it to an auto body shop today. i am expecting a $3,000 repair now. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 108001 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 18, 2013.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . was driving on the highway and noticed a loud noise coming from the rear of my vehicle and noticed the noise was getting louder. i took my vehicle to my mechanic thinking i needed shocks. my mechanic stated to me that i could not put new shocks on my escape because my inner fender well was rusted out and my shock was no longer bolted to the frame. i then had to take it to a body shop to be repaired. my shock was just bouncing around and could have broken through the back seat or broken off all together. once i took it to the body shop i was told i would also have to replace the shocks because my right passenger side shock was cracked in half. i just purchased this "used" vehicle in november and my husband really likes ford products but after this happening to us and finding out that ford hasn't done anything about this problem for anybody who has had the same issue it is very disappointing. luckily nobody in my family was injured due to this problem. i realize this problem has happened to most vehicles where there is snow and ice has to be used on the roads, i feel ford should issue a recall for the vehicles that have had this problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 135000 miles.

Ford Escape 2004 Suspension Review #10586393

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . my wife noticed a clunking coming from the right rear of the vehicle. i was able to identify that the issue is a separation in the wheelhouse where the strut attaches to the wheel well. the factory-applied undercoating failed and caused the metal area beneath it to rust out. there is a visible hole in the structure, and we are able to see into the trunk area. our body shop advises that the vehicle is no longer safe to drive, and that full detachment of the top strut mount is imminent. after investigation, he also advises us that he found online nearly 100 similar incidents on similar vehicles ranging from 2004-2006, all with varying mileage. in fact, he has two vehicles on his property that share the same concern: one lost full integrity, and the strut blew through the body into the cargo space; the other shares a similar level of failure as our car. it is also his professional opinion that this sort of rust-out is not common nor expected of a vehicle this age. after extensive local research and personal investigation, i have found in my city alone a half dozen ford escape-style vehicles of the same years-range with similar issues at various stages of concern. i also have recorded over 200 complaints from several bulletin boards across the internet noting similar concerns. we have yet to personally contact ford, yet we see from the postings that the response is the same: ford does not consider this an issue. ford, however, has slated later this month to issue a recall related to a similar suspension-rust issue in the vehicle's right front wheelhouse. as the loss of an effective strut can cause serious handling, braking and suspension safety issues at any corner of the automobile, this concern from the rear of the vehicle should be no different. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 194000 miles.

(the engine was not getting enough air passing through the exhaust system and would barely make it up a hill.) then he discovered the right rear wheel well was rusting out posing a severe threat that the shock absorber will punch through into the body of the car making the escape totally inoperable. a recall is already out for ford minivans for the same issue but apparently not for the escapes. why not? this can be repaired at a cost of nearly $2,000. with the catalytic converter and ignition coils, i've already spent over $2500 and don't have the $2,000 for this necessary repair due to poor materials used to make this vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 108496 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on June 02, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . the right rear shock tower mount completely broke away from the vehicle subframe due to corrosion/rust. this caused the shock to lean outward toward the tire. this could not be seen by the undercoating as a problem previous and apparently allowed it to corrode to the point that it broke free. this exact same issue occurred in my insurance lady's ford escape, which i believe was only one model year different. also only on the right rear shock tower. in speaking with the body shop on the repair, they have also heard of this issue and state that ford has not recognized it as a recall issue. this is a costly repair, and time consuming repair as the vehicle is gone for almost a week. this is also a very dangerous issue due to how it falls apart. we are lucky we were within the city limits and only traveling about 30 mph when it occurred. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 205000 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2014.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . while driving heard a loud clunking noise coming from the passenger side rear wheel well. arrived home to inspect the area of concern. found that the passenger side rear shock mount had completely separated from the wheel well due to extensive rusting. this allowed the shock to travel upward striking the plastic interior trim panel. this vehicle was garage kept until two years ago. it also passed state inspection requirements nine months ago. i am not a mechanical engineer. however, i do not believe a critical suspension component should be attached to sheet metal that is prone to rust. i have taken the time and made the effort to inspect several other vehicle manufacturers and find that their suspension system is connected to a solid component of the frame. obviously this is an engineered design flaw of a critical safety component that possibly could result in unsafe handling at highway speed. with only one rear shock attached to the vehicle an uncontrollable rear sway could occur resulting in a possible roll over. given the number of reported complaints of the same nature, which given known statics is a small percentage of actual cases, i do request a recall to be made. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 121337 miles.

FORD ESCAPE 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 30, 2013.FORD ESCAPE 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . when driving home on 12/30/14, i heard a loud rattle coming from the right rear of the vehicle. i looked in the rear passenger wheel well and noticed that there was a lot of rust. i did not drive it again until i took it to my mechanic to have it inspected on 1/6/15. he informed me that the wheel well was rusted and the strut could break loose. he also informed me that he had never seen a vehicle do this. i was also informed that it is a safety issue and i should not drive the vehicle until it is fixed. he also checked to see if anyone in the area would be able to fix it since he is not equipped to do so. no luck with that. after seeing how many people are having this same issue with their ford escape, i would expect that the ford company would do the right thing, take responsibility for the defect and make it right. i am prepared to follow through to have this matter taken care of, even if i have to take it to lansing and washington. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 131000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMCU93124K. Ford Escape 2004 problem was reported in JONES, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
