2014 Ford Escape 4dr SUV
turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 20300 mi | Intermittent wipers did not work. They squirted water on the windshield and they worked at that time. Don't think they have worked since then. |
| 24000 mi | Dual Zone A/C Unit malfunctioned by turning itself on and high. Multiple electrical failures (power windows, locks, push button ignition, A/C, side view mirrors). They could not recreate any of the electrical issues I had upon inspection. An indicator came back saying there may potentially be an issue with the battery so they replaced it under warranty. They said in some cases a partial short could cause these issues however they weren't certain that was the case. I have not had any problems since I have got the car back. |
| 33600 mi US $719 |
I had noticed that the climate control in the car was not working correctly. After the vehicle engine was warmed up it would still blow out cold air, even when reading 75+ degrees. In order for warm temperature to come through the car it had to be manually turned to at least 77 degrees. Additionally the outside temp gauge on the My Ford Touch (MFT) display would consistently give VERY inaccurate readings. On a day where it was 40 degrees the display read anywhere from -6 to 77 degrees. I believe the two issues may had been interrelated. Upon Ford inspection the found the issue to be caused by a Ambient Air Temperature Sensor. The sensor itself was faulty and broker and needed to be replaced. After replacing the sensor the technicians found that whenever the harness it is connected to is moved the temperature readings become inaccurate. Upon additional inspection they found the pin connector for the sensor was broken and also needed to be replaced. Once replaced the Climate Control and Outside Air Temp readings appeared to be functioning correctly. |

2014 Ford Escape 4dr SUV
turbocharged 178hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 12700 mi | Performed TSB for freezing up of the system, which didn't produce cold air from the A/C system. |
| 11320 mi | Airbag and ABS module burnt |
| 18903 mi | After 20 minutes, the dash vents would close. Fan works okay, I hear the air coming out, it's just not able to come out of anywhere I can feel. Turning the car off and on fixes the problem. The dealer tracked it down to SSM 45383 and reprogrammed the HVAC module. The repair seemed to work, but when I drove it the following day, it happened again. The day after I picked up the car, the problem happened again. All the vents closed up, the fan works perfectly, but no air comes out of any vent. I was close to the dealership, so I came right in. The manager, the writer and two techs saw the problem. I was hoping to get an answer that afternoon. The next day, I was told it would be ready on Monday, on Monday, I was told that they weren't able to fix it, and that they had a "call into the Ford hotline." I took it back because I couldn't afford to pay for a rental anymore. I called Ford corporate, they referred me to another Ford dealer about twenty minutes away. All the vents closed up, the fan works perfectly, but no air comes out of any vent. After calling Ford corporate, they told me that I had to go back to the original dealer. I left several messages until he finally called me back, and told me to bring the car in. Several days later, a part was replaced, but they declined to give me the repair ticket, saying they wanted to keep the repair order open in order to stop the factory warranty from expiring. A few warm days later, it seems to be working. The recirculation button still turns off and on from time to time, and in order to change the setting, I still have to push it twice. I didn't push it, I will ask them to look at it later. |
| 37000 mi | Bluetooth stopped working, just like my old Escape. In the past, I was able to pull the battery and reset the system, on the new Escape, the battery is buried under a plastic shroud by the windshield. The dealership reset the battery for me, Bluetooth is working. But, the clock now is frozen. |
