Defective throttle body. Car died repeatedly when trying to drive. Had to have car towed. Ford refuses to reimburse me for towing and I think they should do so.
My Escape has Ford recall #16S41 on it. I began to smell a strong gasoline smell around my car. I took it into my local dealership for repairs and it was diagnosed with the recall issue. Even though this recall has been in place since Nov/Dec of 2016 there is still no part to repair it 8 months later. The dealership said they were going to replace it with a part that has the same defect/recall. I do not feel comfortable with this. There is an increased risk of fire due to fuel leak. This time I could smell gas. Will I next time? what if the car had been parked in the garage where fumes could build up and something sparked and our whole house exploded. I cannot continue to put myself, my children and friends and family (including other children) in my car when I do not feel that it is safe and Ford cannot certify that it is safe. They do not have a date for when the replacement part will be available and they refuse to give me a rental or loaner vehicle. They are reporting that there have been no injuries or fatalities to date due to this recall. Are they waiting for that to happen before they protect consumers" are there not limits to the amount of time they have to remedy and dangerous safety recall? I also find it interesting that this recall went into effect in December of 2016 which is pretty much the exact time that all of those vehicles 5 year warranties would be expired. Coincidence"
I was in the process of turnig off our street and driving a short distane up our driveway to park outside our garage when my vehicle lunged forward into the garage doing considerable damage to the contents and structure. I then backed the vehicle out of the garage to avoid further damage.since I had the distinct impression that the engine was overpowerinhg the brakes I decided to turn the ignition switch off to stop the vehicle. It was then I determined that tongue of the boat trailer had severed the filter on the vehicle engine spurting the contents of the oil sump on the driveway and the trailer was impaled in the grill of the vehicle. It was also observed that the trailer had propelled the high pressure washer stored alongside it when the trailer was pulled from the garage by the vehicle.07

Since I purchased my vehicle (original owner) in February, 2005 I would smell gas fumes when I filled my tank with fuel. Started not filling tank all the way to avoid fuel odor in my vehicle. Received safety recall notice 6S41/NHTSA recall 16V-777 in December, 2016 for fuel delivery module. Contacted autonation Ford dealership in frisco, tx and was told part was not available. Contacted them again in April and then June, 2017. Was told, "part not available". I explained I smell a fuel odor in my vehicle & the recall letter from Ford states if your car exhibits symptoms of fuel odor then immediately contact dealership for a service appointment for diagnosis and repair relating to this safety recall. Was told, "part not available". nothing dealership can do. I contacted Ford customer relations (866) 436-7332 on 6/16/17 and was given case # 12533821 by ralph. Once again contacted autonation in frisco & was told they do not have the part, therefore, nothing can be done.
