Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2006 Ford Escape

The problem that we are having has to do with the car just shutting off and losing power, mainly on the interstate. We started having the problem back in June of 17 when my wife broke down in fayetteville nc on her way to south carolina and had it towed to the nearest aaa service center. They couldn't find anything wrong but said she need a new battery. Fast forward to may 6 2018, not quite 11 months since the first time this has happened. Same thing, the abs warning light comes on, dash cluster shuts down, no radio or a/c, then the vehicle starts losing power and slowing down until there is no power at all. Everything we have read points to a problem the alternator. Every post we have read, around 40, says the same thing. Ford needs to recall all Ford Escapes to fix this problem. Someone is going to be killed because of their vehicles losing power and getting hit from behind my a tractor trailer. Please investigate this issue before something like that happens. Or Ford can replace the vehicle with a new one. Some posts don't even have that warning like we did, they said it just shut down for no reason. I believe Ford knows there is an issue with mist of no all Ford Escapes with this issue, but believe they are covering up the problem. Again, please investigate and ask the public who own Escapes for any issues like we have had and from people that have posted the same issues. Thank you your help with this issue. No one should have to die or be injured from a problem that Ford can fix. They need to issue a major recall for this problem and with your help we can get this fixed. We have a 2006 Ford Escape XLT which has been a great vehicle for the past 11 years. It's only been this past 11 months that these problems have arisen. Any thanks for any input to get Ford to right this wrong.

On Feb 14th, 2013, on my way to work, my car radio went complete dead. . . Then as I was approaching an intersection, my car 'surged' like it was going "on & off". I prayed to get to get out of harms way enough to pull my car over, as soon as I did, all the lights started flashing and there was a constant 'clicking sound'. I called a town truck and had my car towed to my car repair place. Turns out I needed an new alternator. After spending $550 + to have it fixed, the following week, on Tuesday, Feb 19th, my car died. Again, having it towed to my car repair again, it turns out that the electrical system needed replacing. I only have 67k on my car and after spending another $600 to fix, I am not a happy consumer! Ford should reimburse me for these costs. Now, my car is fixed and as much as I loved it, I am not confident driving it anymore. Unless Ford reimburses me, I will never buy another Escape again, nor will I tell everyone about how wonderful of a vehicle they are because they aren't and when you spend that much money on a car. . . Well, when something costly happens like that, the vehicle should be replaced by Ford with no cost to the consumer. An exta $1200 out of my pocket means my family has to go without food.

2 alternators in less than one year. Tired of being left stranded with 3 kids in the car!! and its a lot of $$$$$$$$.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Escape. While driving approximately 35 mph the gauge began to fluctuate erratically. The abs and battery light illuminated on the instrument panel and the windows could not be opened or closed. The door locks also would not engage. The failures would occur at the same time and also independently. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technicians replaced the pcm board. Immediately after the repairs were made the failure continued to occur. The technicians suggested that the alternator be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the alternator was replaced; yet, it did not correct the failure. The battery was replaced when the vehicle failed to start. When the cobattery was replaced, the vehicle started but the electrical failures continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54,576.
