Ford Motor Company
NHTSA Campaign: 22V413000 SAFETY RECALL
2.9M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jun 10, 2022
Safety Issue:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

Potential Risk:
A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S43.

Safety Issue:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2017 Ford Escape Titanium and SE vehicles manufactured October 5, 2015, to May 12, 2016.

Potential Risk:
If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
FREE Recall Solution:

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

2017 Ford Escape with Eco Boost engine- Engine began to misfire when the car reached 67,000 mileage. Check engine light on - took to dealer who informed me not to drive car as it was at risk of catastrophic engine failure due to coolant intrusion in Cylinder #4. Cost of repair -$11,000. Online research shows that this issue is common in the Eco Boost engines between 2017 - 2019 - and that Ford had to redesign the engine block to cure this issue for the 2020 release. Ford repair centers are aware of this common problem, and online are posted memos from Ford company Repair dept- telling dealerships that engine replacement is the only solution for this issue. Several class action lawyers are reaching out - so much so it will take 6 months to get an appointment - in the meantime How many complaints need to come in before the Ford company is forced to recall this engine and replace for customers like me?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, a message indicating that the engine was overheating was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the coolant level was low. The mechanic flushed the coolant. However, the vehicle failed to start two days later. The vehicle was towed to another independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that coolant was leaking into the engine, leading to low engine compression. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where the same assessment was made, and the engine was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Potential Consequences:

Last week my 2017 Ford escape started shaking. Soon after my check engine light came on, an overheating warning, and power train warning came on. I had my car towed to Ford to be serviced. They called and told me I need a new engine. Apparently my coolant has been leaking into the engine. After researching, I’ve found this seems to be happening regularly. It’s beyond frustrating that Ford has not resolved this dangerous issue and is refusing to help people with these enormous engine replacement costs.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Engine has a coolant intrusion defect resulting in the need of a complete engine swap. The vehicle is at the shop, but potentially available for inspection. The issue is widely known to be a common defect of the 1.5L ford ecoboost engine. It has already been inspected by the mechanics and an extended warranty inspector from Veritas Global. A flashing check engine light came on only at the time of failure, not before. When the failure occurred, engine power was lost in the middle of traffic and the car was vibrating vigorously. The vehicle was pulled off the road and towed to a Ford dealer.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I took my vehicle to the Ford dealership I purchased it from as I started to have white smoke coming from my exhaust on startup. Ford ran the diagnostics to identify that the engine short block is failing, causing coolant intrusion into the cylinder bores. This issue will not notify on the dash of the vehicle and it will eventually cause the car to catch on fire. The dealership informed me this is a known issue identified by Ford with the motor. Instead of an official recall, Ford issued a customer service program for 5 months in 2022 to fix the issue if your car was exhibiting this issue but will not fix the issue now as that program has ended. I never received notice of this program and the dealership I purchased my car from did not reach out to me. At the time of the program my car was not experiencing the issue. Now my car is experiencing the issue and Ford will not fix this under my warranty or provide financial assistance for a new engine for an issue that is a manufacturers defect.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

On Friday, September 15th, 2023 I was driving an on- ramp to enter a highway. I was driving approximately 40mph, as I was merging onto the hi-way I accelerated and the car lost acceleration. There was a loud bust and the car began to sputter. I was not able to drive over 40mph. I exited the hi-way and as I was came to a stop at a red light, the car began to take on gas fumes. The fumes were so strong I thought the car was going to catch on fire. I pulled into the nearest parking lot and called for roadside assistance. The car was towed to the Ford Dealer and I was told the engine blew and would require a new one. The car only had approximately 56,000 miles. The car is still at the dealer having the new engine installed. This was the second such incident with this car. In January 2023, the car was doing the same thing, but as I was driving the car on the street. I took the car to the Ford Dealer and they replaced valves. At that time the car had under 50,000 miles.

In January 2023, the car was doing the same thing, but as I was driving the car on the street. I took the car to the Ford Dealer and they replaced valves. At that time the car had under 50,000 miles.
