FAILURE OF THE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY. THE DISPLAY WAS FLICKERING AND DIFFICULT TO SEE FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND HAS REMAINED SO SINCE THAT TIME. I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE DISPLAY, WHICH IS COMPLETELY BLACK. THIS INCLUDES THE ODOMETER, IMPORTANT INDICATORS, AND WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THE CAR LEFT THE WARRANTY PERIOD BY DATE (>3 YEARS). WITH NO WAY TO READ THE ODOMETER, THIS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SELL THE VEHICLE AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. THE NHTSA HAS ISSUED RECALLS ON THE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY FOR OTHER 2014 FORD ESCAPES, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS THE SAME FAULTY MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY THAT THE RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE.

VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE STOPPED DRIVING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE ENGINE DID NOT REV. THE DASH LIGHT INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JUMPED INTO GEAR SO HARD I SUFFERED WHIPLASH. IT DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET CLEAR OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LITERALLY THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED AT ONE POINT AS THE CAR JOLTED SO HARD. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE ROADWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE SERVICE NOW LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS CONSISTANT WITH THE PCM WIRING HARNESS RECALL DONE ON OTHER 2013 ESCAPES BUT WAS NOT COVERED FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THE JOLTS TO THE VEHICLE KICKING IN GEAR DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME, IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO STRIKE OR BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD BUT THEY STATE MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL AND THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME.
