WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED, THE OPEN DOOR WARNING LIGHT, THE TPMS LIGHT, AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS, THE A/C WILL BLOW WARM, THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS WON'T WORK, AND THE LIFT GATE WILL LOCK. IF I HIT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, IT ALL RESETS. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTONATION FORD ON THE GULF FREEWAY IN HOUSTON. THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT A COST OF $1000. I HAVE VIEWED MULTIPLE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND READ MANY POSTS ON THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. IN EVERY CASE, THE VEHICLE OWNER SAID THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACEMENT FAILED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. WHAT WAS FOUND TO BE TRUE IN MANY OF THEM WAS THE DISCOVERY OF COLD SOLDER JOINTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CIRCUIT BOARD. ONCE THIS WAS CORRECTED, THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY WITH A FULLY FUNCTIONAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CONCLUSION TO BE DRAWN HERE IS THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD. AS TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, SEVERAL OF THE POSTS STATED THAT THE ENTIRE CLUSTER FAILED SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS YET BUT FEAR, IF LEFT UNCORRECTED, THAT IT COULD LEAD TO THAT. THE KEY POINT IS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF FORD VEHICLES INCLUDING NOT ONLY MY ESCAPE, BUT EXPLORERS, EXPEDITIONS, AND F150S. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS GLARING DEFECT.

MY CAR HAS RAN A 100% SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I WENT TO GO MOVE MY CAR AFTER I CUT MY GRASS AND INSTANTLY MY POWER STEERING SENSOR WENT OFF AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR STATING THAT IT REQUIRED SERVICE DUE TO IT NOT WORKING. JUST LIKE THAT. NO EARLIER WARNINGS, NO MALFUNCTIONS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, NOTHING. I AM A MOTHER OF 4 DAUGHTERS AND THANKFULLY I WAS JUST TRYING TO REPOSITION MY VEHICLE IN MY YARD VS. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR ELSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE BODILY HARM TO US OR EVEN WORSE, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED EVEN WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, MAKE, AND YEAR HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM, THIS IS NOT A RECALL YET. I RESEARCHED IT MYSELF AND FOUND OUT THAT THE 2013 FORD FUSION ALSO HAS THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE FUSION, BUT NOT THE ESCAPE. I AM CONFUSED ON THIS. ARE THEY WAITING ON A DEATH TOLL TO RISE DUE TO FORD'S MALFUNCTIONING PART AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE THEY DECIDE THAT THIS IS A REAL SERIOUS ISSUE OR IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR FORDS CUSTOMERS AND FAMILIES THEY HAD WHEN THEY DECIDED TO USE THIS POORLY PLANNED ELECTRICAL DESIGN THAT IS CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONING? OR MAYBE ITS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND CHARGING CUSTOMERS OVER $1700.00 TO FIX THIS POORLY PLANNED PRODUCT THAT IS GOING TO COST SOMEONE THEIR LIVES WAS GOING TO MAKE THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVENUE SKY RISE WITH THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM BEING HIGH IN DEMAND. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONE MODEL OF FORD WITH THE SAME YEAR IS ON RECALL FOR THIS, BUT THE OTHER MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME SET UP AND YEAR IS NOT. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 DAUGHTERS THAT IS STILL PAYING ON THIS $19,000.00 VEHICLE THAT IS NOW PARKED IN MY YARD BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THANKS FORD!!!
