FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on .FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY . THE CAR WILL INCONSISTENTLY NOT START. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE JULY OF 1998 (IT BEGAN MILDLY AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE), AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THEY HAVE REPLACED ONE PART, BUT AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. NOW I AM WAITING FOR FORD TO COME OUT WITH SOME COMPUTER CONFIGURATION. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY SOMETIMES IT WILL BE TOTALLY DEAD, SOMETIMES IT WILL BEGIN TO IDLE, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR (RECOMMENDED BY MY DEALER), HOWEVER, THE SECOND YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR "SHUTS OFF."ONCE THE CAR DOES START (USUALLY AFTER TRYING 10 TIMES) IT RUNS VERY ROUGH. WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTAMS, I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO MY DEALER AND THEY AGAIN, FOR THE THIRD TIME OR SO ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RETURNED MY CAR TO ME THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN I LEARNED OF A POSSIBLE COMPUTER CONFIGURATION THAT FORD WAS COMING OUT WITH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUPLICATED WHEN THEY FIRST CHANGED THE INITIAL PART. THEY HAVE RUN VARIOUS TESTS AND FEEL THAT THE PART REPLACED (FUEL INJECTION CENSORING)IS NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM AFTER ALL. THIS IS WHERE I CURRENTLY STAND WITH MY CAR. SOME MORNINGS IT STARTS AND SOME IT DOES NOT. I HAVE HAD OCCURRENCES WHERE THE CAR WILL START IN THE MORNING, I WILL DRIVE 20 MIN. TO WORK.

FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on Mar 28, 2002.FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS . I DRIVE CAREFULLY AND I MAINTAIN MY CAR WELL. MY FORD ESCORT WAGON IS A 1999 MODEL. AS SUCH, I STILL CONSIDER IT QUITE NEW. WITH ONLY 44,000 MILES ON IT, I CONSIDERED IT TO HAVE LOW MILEAGE. LAST WEEK MY CAR FAILED ITS ANNUAL AUTO INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC (HAMILTON'S GARAGE OF PORTLAND, ME) TOLD ME THAT BOTH REAR COIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES ON MY CAR WERE BROKEN. HE SAID THAT THIS HAS BECOME A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS COMMON PROBLEM ON LATE MODEL FORD ESCORTS. HE SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY RARE ON OTHER CARS. HE TOLD ME TO GO TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF FORD HAS INITIATED A RECALL OF THE ESCORT'S DEFECTIVE REAR COIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES. THE FORD DEALER (ROWE FORD OF WESTBROOK, ME) INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC PART. THE FORD DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BROKEN REAR COIL SPRINGS MYSELF AS THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED. THE REPAIR JOB ON MY CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP COST ME $400. MY WIFE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS AND REPORTED THE DEFECT PROBLEM WITH BOTH BROKEN REAR COIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES ON OUR CAR. THE FORD HEADQUARTERS ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OF LATE MODEL FORD ESCORT DEFECTIVE REAR COIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES. THEY "CLAIMED" TO BE UNAWARE OF SUCH A DEFECT PROBLEM WITH THE LATE MODEL FORD ESCORTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE FORD. I REMEMBER FORD'S LIES CONCERNING THE SCANDAL WITH THE FORD PINTO'S EXPLOSIVE GAS TANK. THIS DEFECT PROBLEM WITH THE FORD ESCORT'S REAR COIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES CAN POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GET KILLED DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT BEFORE FORD WILL ADMIT THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE PAID THE $400 REPAIR BILL REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE BROKEN REAR COIL SPRINGS ON MY CAR. THE FACT THAT THEY REFUSED ILLUSTRATES THE POOR MORAL CHARACTER OF THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY.*AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FAFP15P4XR. Ford Escort 1999 problem was reported in PORTLAND, ME.

FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on Jan 28, 2003.FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP . MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A USED 1999 FORD ESCORT FROM COOPER FORD, CAMDEN N.Y., FIRST 9 MONTHS WITH CAR OKAY BUT AS SOON AS COLD WEATHER SET IN SHE STARTED HAVING FUEL PUMP FAILURES. THIS FAILURE CAUSES SUDDEN SHUT DOWN OF VEHICLE, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE FIRST OCASSION WAS WINTER OF 2001-2002, PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED 12-27-02 AND 1-28-03. DEALER INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FUEL RELATED THAT THESE FUEL PUMPS WERE SENSITIVE TO ADDITIVES IN FUEL. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT IS BEING OVERLOOKED OR TROUBLSHOOTING BY TECHNICIANS IS INADEQUATE. IF FUEL WAS SOURCE OF PROBLEM EVERY OTHER VEHICLE IN THIS AREA WOULD BE AFFECTED ALSO AND I AM UNAWARE OF ANY MASS EXODUS OF FORDS INTO THE DEALERS FOR NEW FUEL PUMPS. THE POSSIBILITY FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT EXISTS AS LONG AS THIS PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED, THE SUDDEN AND COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF A VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN PULLING INTO BUSY TRAFFIC ETC. COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL CONSEQUENCES. IN CONVERSATIONS WITH FORD MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THIS TYPE PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. TECHNICIANS AT DEALER HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH FACTORY REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THE ENGINEERS COULD COME UP WITH IS A "FUEL PROBLEM" .APPARENTLY LITTLE OR NO FAILURE ANALYSIS IS TAKING PLACE AS TO WHY ONE PARTICULAR VEHICLE WOULD NEED 3 FUEL PUMPS IN APPROX. 13 MONTHS AND ONLY IN THE WINTER TIME. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES MY DAUGHTER HAS TO DRIVE A "TIMEBOMB" THAT WE IN GOOD CONSCIENCE CAN'T SELL WITH THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU.

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER AND AGAIN SPECIFIED THE PROBLEM AND SHOWED THEM EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. I PICKED IT UP LATER THAT AFTERNOON THEY HAD REPLACED THE VALVE AGAIN THAT I HAD JUST REPLACED IN JANUARY 2003. I TURNED ON MY CAR AND RAN THE A/C AND I SAW NO IMPROVEMENT. SO I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MY CAR SHOULDN'T STALL ANYMORE BUT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BASICALLY, WE PURCHASED A $13,000 DOLLAR CAR THAT NEVER RAN RIGHT AND CAN NOT BE REMEDIED. NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION AND I'M EXPECTED TO BE SATISFIED WITH A CAR THAT SHAKES NON-STOP.

FORD ESCORT 1999 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Report #10045430

FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on Nov 04, 2003.FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . WE ARE HAVING A VIBRATION PROBLEM WITH OUR FORD ESCORT. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE WITH THE DESCRIPTION "IT'S IDLING ROUGH". THE SERVICE CENTER CAME BACK TO ME WITH A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" FROM FORD OUTLINING A PROCEDURE TO LIMIT VIBRATION. APPARENTLY, THE VIBRATION STEMS FROM INADEQUATE/IMPROPER ENGINE MOUNTS IN THIS MODEL ESCORT. THE SERVICE OUTLINED REQUIRES CHANGING THE TYPE OF PARTS USED IN MOUNTING THE ENGINE, AND THE TSB CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS TO BE DONE BY THE REPAIR CENTER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. FORD IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS SITUATION, AS THE TSB ALSO STATES THIS AFFECTS ESCORTS FROM 1997-2002, ESCORT ZX2 FROM 1998-2003, AND THE TRACER FROM 1997-1999. WE WERE TOLD THE REPAIR BILL TO FIX THIS WOULD BE $380.00! I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS DEFECT FIXED. I CONTACTED FORD, AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "SORRY , WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THIS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY." THE PROBLEM CAME TO MY ATTENTION BECAUSE EVERYTHIUNG IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT NOT SCREWED DOWN RATTLES LIKE A ONE-MAN-BAND. THIS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR, AND HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO PROBLEMS IN THE ENGINE TUNING. THANKS TO A WELL-INFORMED SERVICE TECHNICIAN, I NOW KNOW THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT LEFT UNCHECKED, THE VIBRATIONS COULD CAUSE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE ON THE CAR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO SEE THAT FORD CORRECTS THIS DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR.*AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP10P0XW.

I HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN MY 1999 FORD ESCORT, WHICH I AM SECOND OWNER OF. I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER FROM WHERE PURCHASED AS USED CAR, YORK MOTORS, WHOM TOLD ME TO CONTACT LOCAL FORD DEALER, GALPIN FORD. TONY PACINI, AT GALPIN, CONTACTED SCOTTSDALE FORD ENGINEER, WITH PICS I PROVIDED OF DEFECT. AFTER A FEW WEEKS ENGINEER WAS ABLE TO COME TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND SEE IT UP CLOSE. ENGINEER CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR QUARTER PANEL FOR THE CAR HAD BEEN "PRESSED TO THIN" IN THE MANUFACTURING PHASE. I GOT THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR, AS THEY REQUESTED, FOR APPROX. $1500.00. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS FITS UNDER THEIR "GOOD WILL" POLICY AND I WOULD BE LUCKY IF FORD WILL PAY FOR 50% OF THE REPAIRS. THE DAMAGE IS AN OPEN GASH OF 17" IN THE REAR DOOR CASING. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, WHOM RIDE IN THE BACK AND CAN CUT THEMSELVES SEVERLY WITH THIS FAULT. ACCORDING TO THE BODY SHOP, WHERE I GOT ESTIMATE AND WHOM TOLD ME TO DO THIS COMPLAINT, THE REPAIR PROCEDURE THAT FORD INITIALLY REQUESTED WOULD HINDER THE PROPER CRASH COMPRESSION OF THE CAR AND THEREFORE INCREASE DANGER IN AN ACCIDENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD ORIGINALLY ASKED THE FORD ENGINEER AND MR. PACINI THAT IF FORD WAS NOT WILLING TO CONSUME THE COST OF REPAIRS, THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE THEM THE CAR AND TAKE MY CHOICE OFF THEIR USED CAR LOT, WITH NO DIFFERENCE IN MY CAR PAYMENTS OR COST.

FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 1999.FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . IN 1999 WE PURCHASED A FORD ESCORT. WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THAT SOMETIMES A NEW CAR WOULD DO THAT JUST BY GOING OVER A BUMP. WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS THE CAR DEVELOPED SOME REALLY WEIRD PROBLEMS. DIAGNOSTICS WERE DONE, PARTS CHANGED AND MONEY PAID. NO CHANGE. THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER. NOW IT STALLS CONSTANTLY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANICS PLUS THE FORD DEALERSHIP AGAIN, AND NO ONE CAN TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. DIAGNOSTICS ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DONE. PARTS CHANGED "JUST TO SEE" AND MORE AND MORE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT IT IS GETTING WORSE. MY DAUGHTER IS NOW EXPECTING HER FIRST CHILD AND THE CAR IS HERS. WE ARE AFRAID TO LET HER DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF ITS INSTABILITY. FORD KEEPS TELLING US TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY'LL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM...THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO YET AND NOW THEY WON'T EVEN RESPOND ANYMORE. SO FORD IS ULTIMATELY THE PROBLEM...ALONG WITH THEIR CAR. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. WE CAN'T SELL THE CAR THIS WAY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT SELLING THIS ONE FIRST.

I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND SO LITTLE USE AND BOTH HE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER (THEY ARE A HIGHLY REGARDED, AFTER-MARKET, AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS, SERVICING ALL MAKES OF VEHICLES, AND HAVE NO CAUSE FOR BIAS) SAID THAT IN THEIR EXPERIENCE FORD ESCORTS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING WEAK AND DEFECTIVE REAR COIL SPRINGS AND THAT THEY HAD REPLACED MANY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS (MORE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE OR MODEL). TO A LESSER DEGREE THEY ALSO NOTED THAT THE TAURUS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. BEFORE HAVING THE WORK DONE I HAD CALLED THE DEALER (SAM DELL FORD OF LIVERPOOL, NY) AND THE FORD CONSUMER COMPLAINT OFFICE.

FORD ESCORT 1999 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2005.FORD ESCORT 1999, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS . I JUST WANT TO COMPLAIN THAT I FEEL FORD MOTOR CO. SHOULD OFFER A SUBSIDIE FOR OWNERS OF 1999 FORD ESCORT ZX 2 AUTOMOBILES FOR THE ADDITION OF DISENGAGMENT SWITCHES FOR THEIR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEVICES. I AM AWARE THAT NEWER MODELS COME EQUIPPED WITH THIS FEATURE. I WAS ADVISED BY FORD MOTOR CO. THAT THEY ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO MAKE THIS ADDITION TO THEIR CARS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICEPERSON THAT IN THE TEN YEARS "HE OR ANYONE WORKING THERE" HAD NEVER PERFORMED A "SWITCH ADDITION" I ASKED HIM IF IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE AND HE SAID PROBABLY YES AND THAT HE WOULD CALL FORD AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT COULD BE DONE. HE SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK. HE HAS NEVER CALLED BACK. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND THERE IS ONLY TWO SEATBELTS IN THE BACK. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LET MY ELEVEN YEAR OLD RIDE IN THE FRONT, BUT I AM AFRAID OF THE AIRBAG. NOW THAT IT IS STANDARD(SWITCHES) ON THE 2001 AND NEWER CARS I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME COST SHARED BY FORD MOTOR CO. IN PERFORMING THIS UPGRADE. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A "RECALL" FOR THIS ADDITION. *NM.Ford Escort 1999 problem was reported in KENDALLVILLE, IN. Original Owner. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

I BOUGHT THIS 1999 ESCORT FROM A DEALER. IT WAS USED WITH AROUND 20K MILES ON IT. I MADE THE DEALER CHANGE OUT THE TIE ROD ENDS BEFORE I TOOK IT BECAUSE I NOTICED THEY WERE BAD. THE CAR NOW HAS 54K MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD END FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID AND TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DUE TO A QUICK-REACTING ONCOMING DRIVER, NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED. HOWEVER, THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEATHS. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THAT WHENEVER HE GETS A CALL FOR A FAILED TIE-ROD, ITS AN ESCORT. THIS WAS DEFINITELY CHANGED TOO. I CHECKED IT MYSELF AFTER THE DEALER DID THEM. THEREFORE THE TIE ROD ENDS ONLY LASTED FOR AROUND 35K MILES BEFORE EXTREME FAILURE OCCURRED. SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WITH THE STEERING/SUSPENSION DESIGN IN THIS MODEL CAR. EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED I'VE DRIVEN INTO THE 100K MILE RANGE AND STILL NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIE ROD ENDS.
