2010 Ford ESCAPE Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1264790
Internal NHTSA #	10838731

Model	ESCAPE
Model Year	2010
File date	01/10/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My vehicle is displaying the electric steering assist failure warning and the steering wheel is shuddering at all speeds. The steering wheel also pushes back at times. Problem started at 115,000 miles. I have had extensive communication with fmc and they steadfastly refused to admit any liability. They say that they will never fix this issue under any circumstances unless the federal government forces them to do so. They suggest that i have a dealer fix it at my expense. There have been many reports of instantaneous failures resulting in loss of control. This is an inherent problem with all second generation escapes. Over 1 million ford vehicles have the faulty components. Ford is stonewalling the problem in an attempt to avoid the multi billion dollar tab. You must act quickly! Most of us do not have $1500 to replace the electric steering unit. Many will continue to drive and endanger others in rapidly increasing numbers. I can send my communication with fmc.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
