ON DECEMBER 11, 2015 I HAD TAKEN MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE TO DEALER FOR THE 14S05 RECALL BEING THAT TWO DAYS BEFORE MY POWER STEERING HAD LOCKED UP. THEY DID THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOW ON DECEMBER 31, 2015 I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER SAID TORQUE SENSOR WENT OUT AND IS NOT PART OF RECALL. ITS PRETTY UNSAFE THAT THEY RECALL THIS PART BUT WONT HONOR TO FIX IT WHEN THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE VEHICLES BETWEEN 2008-2011. WHY SEND A RECALL LETTER IF THE DEALER ISN'T GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND EXPECT YOU TO PAY PUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS BEING RECALLED?? MAKES ME VERY UPSET AND UNHAPPY WITH FORD AND THEIR VEHICLES IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THEM SAFE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE, THEY ARE PICKING THE CHEAPEST WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH JUST THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WHEN THE ISSUE IS MORE TO DO WITH THE TORQUE SENSOR IN THE VEHICLES. PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES THINKING THEY ARE FIXED WHEN THEY ARE NOT, THINKING WE ARE IN A SAFE VEHICLE AND WE ARE NOT BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T WANT TO HONOR THE RECALL. ITS RIDICULOUS HOW FORD IS DOING THIS AND NOT SAFE FOR DRIVERS. PLEASE HELP ME AND EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE RECALL DEALING WITH THE TORQUE SENSOR GET REPLACED...THANK YOU. *TR

I HAD TURNED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS TRAVELING DOWN A BUSY ROAD WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ON A BIT OF A DOWNWARD SLOPE AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE "DEAD" CAR OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A MINUTE. I TURNED ON THE CAR AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED AS I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND IF MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPS LIKE THAT AGAIN, THERE COULD BE DIRE CONSEQUENCES. THE EARLIEST A DEALER CAN LOOK AT MY CAR IS JANUARY 8TH. MY LOCAL DEALER - JANUARY 14TH. TODAY IS DECEMBER 28TH. AFTER READING SOME OF THESE REPORTS, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. MEANWHILE, I NEED TO RENT A CAR, UNTIL SOMEONE AT A FORD DEALER IS ABLE TO LOOK AT IT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. HOWEVER, AFTER PREVIOUSLY HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP - I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO AN EXIT RAMP MY VEHICLE HAS DIED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, IT ALSO SHUTS DOWN WHEN MAKING A HARD TURN AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE (SEVERAL TIMES HAVING TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF ENGINE AND COAST TO A STOP IN SNOW). I HAVE CURRENTLY STARTED EXPERIENCING A #3 MISFIRE AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND NUMBER 3 IGNITION COIL. I AM WAITING FOR OTHER 3 COILS TO COME IN. IF STILL SHOOTING WILL TRY REPLACING SEALS. IT ALSO WAS "BURNING" OIL THEN STARTED TO HAVE AN ACTUAL OIL LEAK FROM MAIN SEAL. I DO THE REPAIRS MYSELF AND APPARENTLY THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES. I COMPLAINED TO FORD ABOUT THE STICKY ACCELERATOR AND GOT NO REPLY. IT ALSO MAKES A TAPPING SOUND FROM THE CAM SHAFT WHICH I FOUND OUT IS TYPICAL OF FORD ESCAPES.
