BOUGHT MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE XLT 4WD IN 2016.HAD NO PROBLEMS UP UNTIL AROUND MARCH, 2017 WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE.TURNED THE KEY TO START AND IT WOULDN'T. THINKING MAYBE THERE WAS A LITTLE MOISTURE ON IGNITION KEY SEEING HOW IT HAD RAINED EARLER AND KEYS WERE EXPOSED BUT NOPE.PULLED KEY OUT AND FLIPPED IT OVER THEN RETRIED. IT DID START AND DIDN'T THINK ANYMORE ABOUT IT. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TILL ABOUT 4 MOS LATER AND HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. NOW HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS...UP TO 5-6 TIMES OTHER DAY BEFORE IT STARTED. JUST BY CHANCE I HAD PUSHED THE IGNITION KEY FURTHER IN THE START POSITION AND FELT KEY SLIP INTO IGNITION A "HAIR" MORE. IT STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY. THOUGHT THAT MAYBE ORIGINAL KEY WAS GETTING WORN AND THAT WAS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT AFTER READING MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT EXACT SAME ISSUE IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. I HAVE TO TRAVEL ALONE WHEN OUT OF STATE FOR DR VISITS OR FAMILY MATTERS. WOULD SAY THIS CAN BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR A FAMILY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND CODES INDICATE MISFIRE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW, AND AS OF 9/10/19, IT IS WAITING FOR A NEW LONG BLOCK. THEY SAID TO EXPECT AS LEAST 3 MORE AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR A FULL WEEK. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND HAVING NEW COILS INSTALLED, AND SPARK PLUGS, IT IS MY THOUGHT THE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER IS THE ISSUE. I WILL CALL ON MONDAY TO SEE ABOUT GETTING A NEW CAR, THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLETE HEADACHE SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON 2 WEEKS AFTER TAKING OWNERSHIP IN JULY. EACH TIME LIGHT GOES ON, IT IS USUALLY RIGHT AFTER STARTING CAR, IT DRIVES FINE BUT MAY IDLE RUGGEDLY FOR A BIT. ONE TIME, THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT TURNED OFF BEFORE I CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN, AND I BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK TO THE SHOP. I AM WONDERING AT ONE POINT THIS CAR WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LOSS SINCE THE DEALERSHIP GIVES ME A RENTAL EVERY TIME IT IS IN THE SHOP.

PURCHASED THE 2017 FORD ESCAPE FROM HERTZ CAR SALES FEB 2019. IT WAS UNDER 50,000 MILES AT THE TIME. MILEAGE NOW IS AROUND 58,000. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM, THEN GOING INTO SUMMER, THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY HAVE A ROUGH IDLING START. MIND YOU AT THE TIME, MY HUSBAND AND I USED IT MAINLY TO COMMUTE TO WORK(20MINS TO GET TO WORK) AND BACK WITH THE GROCERY TRIPS TO THE STORE OCCASIONALLY. I'D SAY STARTING JUNE AROUND THAT MONTH WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, SOMETIMES A ROUGH IDLING WOULD HAPPEN AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON TOO. THE AC STOPPED WORKING AROUND THIS TIME FRAME AND STILL DOES NOT WORK AS OF 9/5. IT WILL NOT BLOW OUT COLD AC BUT JUST REGULAR TEMP AIR. IN AUGUST WE VISITED MY HUSBAND'S PARENTS DOWN IN SOCAL, AND GOT IT CHECKED OUT BY AN AUTOZONE TECHNICIAN AND A LOCAL MECHANIC ON SEPARATE VISITS. AUTOZONE CONCLUDED IT WAS CYLINDER MISFIRE. LOCAL MECHANIC CONCLUDED IT WAS THE CODES THAT NEEDED REPROGRAMMING BECAUSE WHEN THEY SCANNED IT, DIFFERENT CODES WOULD POP UP AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE AC TO SHUT OFF. TO THIS DAY STILL WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD POP UP AND STAY ON FOR DAYS AT A TIME. OTHER DAYS, IT WOULD BE OFF. TODAY 9/5 THERE IS NO ROUGH IDLING. GOING TO MY FORD APPT 9/6/19 TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. A FORD REPRESENTATIVE CALLED MY HUSBAND TODAY CONFIRMING THE APPT AND RECOMMENDED US TO TRADE IN OUR VEHICLE. I READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE BEFORE WRITING THIS COMPLAINT, AND OTHERS HAVE STATED FORD HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENT OUT ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. AFTER READING THAT, I OPENED ANOTHER TAB, LOOKED AT THEIR WEBSITE AND THEY ONLY HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND FOUND NOTHING ON SERVICE BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I COULD NOT FIND IT, SO THERE IS NO PAGE DEDICATED TO IT. I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ALSO MANDATED AS A RECALL.
