The bushing to my vehicle unattached itself while I was in the car and my 6 year old child. The car continued to roll forward although I tried to hold the brakes down and it would not go into park. I had to use the emergency brakes to keep the vehicle from continuing to roll forward. I looked up a recall for my vehicle but it has no remedy to the issue. I cannot drive my car in the condition that it is in because it will not go into gear or crank up because it is stuck in reverse.
Back up camera is blacking out and/or distorting more than half the time it's in use. The problem is intermittent. It's the exact same issue as already Recalled for newer Ford vehicles.
Stalls randomly, usually after idling for a period of time. Have changed throttle body and perge valve, was an issue on older models but no recall for the 15 and up for a harness issue
First problem- over the course of the last few years, the car intermittently gets "jumpy" when changing to/from different gears like (from reverse to drive OR drive to reverse, all after completely braking-not in the middle of gear shift). It has not completely stalled but feels very close to it. i had brought it in in the past and they had never found anything wrong with it. It does not always happen. Second problem- the rear view back up assistance has not been working properly for over 3 years. I will be in reverse and either the beeping continues even though nothing is around or, the screen goes blank and shuts off. I was told this would be at my expense, not a recall. this does not happen all the time but is very often.

The transmission shift cable bushing on my 2015 Ford Escape deteriorated and failed. The car indicates that it is in PARK but it is actually in gear and will roll freely but can not be cranked. There has been a recall for this exact same problem on the 2013 and 2014 versions of this same vehicle as well as some other Ford vehicles. Why does it not include the 2015 model year?
The vehicles rear view camera works intermitantly - sometimes it is blank, or upside down and sometimes it works - as I saw they are recalling 2019 models with the issue I think my 2015 model has the same issue. Please issue a recall on this model aswell thank you
Ecoboost failed. Car would not accelerate while I was on a highway. Car went from 67 mph down to 35. There was no notice of the dramatic change in speed for the cars behind me. I was almost rear-ended.
I started noticing coolant leakage. Then while driving I have been getting a warning say -??engine to hot stop vehicle immediately safely.-?? Then from there it would go into another warning. This 1 saying -??vehicle will not operate at full power.-?? And the car would not go past 40mhp. I was thinking of fixing myself and started to research parts. I then came across this class action suit against Ford and my vehicle for the same issue I-??m having and how it is causing engine fires. I contact Ford and basically got told there is nothing they can do. I-??m including the class action case with this also.

Ford Motor Company
Driving down the highway my tires slipped and tried to kick on traction control but instead disabled my driving until I was able to get over and stop. Turn the car off for a couple seconds then restarted it back on. Did that 3 time in my way into work. I didn't know it was the traction control until I googled what happened and lot of responses said the traction control gets faulty. So now every time I drive I have to go into the settings and turn off my traction control or it continues to happen. Luckily nobody was behind me.
Car caught fire when I was not in it period from what I have read there was a carbon monoxide leak in the front cabin in many of these cars that could spontaneously combust which is what happened.
Backup camera malfunction. Message appears: ! camera is unavailable. Contact your dealership. When shifting to reverse sometimes the backup camera doesn't appear on the screen. The message above appears and it's a blank black screen.

I am having problems with stalling. I have had the map sensor replaced, the purge valve system done twice and the fuel pump was replaced. This car was built in December 2014. I took it to holman Ford in turnersville NJ and they could not figure out why it is stalling. I feel it is the same issue that they had recalled 2.0 ecoboost Escapes. Check engine light is on and I cannot drive it more then a few miles, then it doesn't start. I have looked online and I feel this is part of the recall14S17...ssm47575. Holman Ford couldn't figure out what was wrong and said they were talking to the engineers. What a joke I had to pay for them to put on for the codes but it wasn't even correct. This stalling happens wherever I am driving within the first few miles of the day then I don't try to drive because it will stahl. This has been happening for the last year and hall
