On Sunday may/23/2021 my car shut off suddenly with out warning after 3m of driving, the wrench orange lite came on, I was able to pull aside on the curb, turned off the car and waited a few minutes, I was able to turn the car back on, and the car restarted with out problem but the incident was there. When I got home I start looking on line for an explanation of what went wrong and I encounter that the 2006 Ford scape hybrid has been recall for stalling problems, somehow my car is not part of the recall according with the VIN number, but my car is a 2006 Ford scape hybrid, I don't understand why my car its not part of the recall and I hope that it did not fall under the cracks and I hope more that my car will not get stall in the freeway and cause an accident. Please let me know if any additional information is need it.

Similar to earlier models 2001-2004/5. Took the car in to be checked out for cross country trip and daughter was told the sub-frame supporting the engine was rusted and car was unsafe to drive.

After driving my 2006 Ford Escape on the freeway reaching speed over 60 miles per hour it will stall. Starts up and when placed in gear to drive it stalls and shuts off.

While driving my vehicle it went into overdrive without me accelerating. This often occurred whether my foot was lightly pressed on the (foot) pedal or off the pedal. The vehicle lost its ability to forward drive, whereby I had to allow the car to glide of to the should of the road. When the vehicle was finally off the road I would experience difficulty shifting the gears - sticking as I tried to put it in gear. It is a manual drive 2006 Ford Escape. This [stalling] occurred after several trips to the mechanics before my vehicle was rendered completely immobile I. E. Unable to reverse or forward drive. The mechanics, at the Ford dealership, diagnosed my vehicle with transmission problems, that would require a total transmission rebuild/replacement. I have not received a recall notice, but I know that my vehicle is among the model 2001 - 2009 Ford Escapes that have experienced transmission troubles/recalls in last 6 months. Since ~January 2016, the vehicle was towed by the dealers and remains there, to date, with no mention of recalls on this make/model/year vehicle. I contacted Ford corp. Customer services toll-free # (1) to inform them of the problem, (2) to determine the recall selection process and (3) to determine if recall notices were sent to both [my] dealer &/or manufacturer, but with not avail. Both, representatives skirted around my queries, later told me to hold on the line until they could conduct a internal inquiry but, instead, redirected the call to the telephone customer care survey -- prior to my call ending.

Driving down the freeway and my vehicle shuts off without warning. There is a loud knocking and shuttering noise like my whole engine is going to drop onto the freeway. I get to the shoulder and put it in park. As I try to start the vehicle again the engine/motor starts shaking yet again with a loud knocking noise and wont turn over. I had to get my car towed. My children were extremely scared and being on the freeway this issue is very dangerous and has been complained about multiple times.

The transmission in my 2006 Ford Escape went out on me while I was driving. Upon on having a mechanic tear it apart, it was found that a bearing and the clutch went out in it. The same mechanic, before working on my transmission, did research and found that many other Escape owners had the same problem and that Ford has not issued a recall know wing that there is a problem. The mechanic found that there should be a shift kit that was not there. I also learned that no Ford trained technicians would work on my Escape.

The vehicle slipped in to the neutral position but was still in drive and trans doesn't engage correctly.

Pushed on accelerator and rpm came up but speed didn't. . . Was told there was a recall on the Ford Escape transmissions. .

The first incident occurred while I was driving 65 mph on the expressway. I went to change lanes and hit the accelerator and the car would not accelerate and was shuddering. I had pull off the expressway and turn the car off. I tried restarting and it just shuddered again. I waited five minutes and tried again and finally it started and was able to shift. Two days ago I was getting off the expressway and making a left turn when the car died and I lost steering power. I was able to fortunately get to the side of the road and put it into park. I tried restarting the car and it would not start. I waited 3 mins and was able to finally get it going. Both times there was no check engine light. I had the Escape read by a code reader device multiple times and there are no error codes displayed from the computer. This is a very serious and potentially life threatening issue, and would like Ford to act upon it for its customers immediately. I am filing this because I have read that the issue is with a defective throttle body, and there is already an investigation into Ford on this issue (pe13-003). I would like my vehicle to be added to this investigation for my families safety and all others experiencing the problem.

I was driving home and without warning my 2006 Ford Escape lost momentum. The drivers behind me could not realize my car was stopping because I was still using my gas and not the brakes.

Ford Escapes have a common problem with the tone ring cracking and activating the abs & 4wd sensor lights. Many dealers charge high prices to replace the entire axles. It can be repaired by simply replacing the tone ring itself. This problem has been ongoing for a while now and Ford has done nothing to correct the problem other than have dealers continue to make money on an their engineering flaw.

The gas pedal on our 2006 Ford Escape locks up at random times, causing an inability to press on the gas pedal. The vehicle becomes instantly inoperable. The only way to get the pedal to unlock, is to get to the side of the road and turn the vehicle off and on a few times. The consequences of such actions are obviously dangerous to say the list. We have taken the car to the Ford dealer and they found nothing wrong. Please go on the web and you will see numerous same case scenarios. This is disaster waiting to happen. We have to think of this each time we drive this car. Help.

Front wheel bearings failing. Called Ford and they will not cover this under warranty. Bearings should last over 100,000 miles. Mine started to go bad at 58,000 (approx) miles. When bearings fail driver could lose front brakes and/or front wheels leading to a crash. I have over 35 years experience with automobiles and know what a failing wheel bearing sounds like.

In approximately September 2006 I bought a Ford Escape not long after I bought it I stated having trouble with it. When I pressed the gas pedal the car would not go. By the time I would get it to a Ford dealership the car had warmed up and they could not get it to do it. During the summer it does not do this but as soon as the weather cools off it will start. I have had to pull over on the side of the road multiple times because when I press the gas pedal the pedal does not move. In order to get it to not stick you have to press it and release it several times then eventually it will take off surging forward. Today was the first cool day we have had and I had to cost over multiple times on the side of the road. When you pull out at stop light you never know whether it is going to be one of the times when the car is not going to go. Today I pulled out several times to find out that it was one of the times the car was not going to go and was almost in several accidents. I was able to get it to a Ford dealership and I explained what the car was doing. They advised me that it was lunch time and they had an appreciation lunch planned for employees and if I could come back in two hours they could have someone look at it but that it sounded like it was the throttle and that it would be around $1000 to repair. This car has always done this in cold weather and I tried multiple times to get this repaired while it was under warranty but when I would take it to the Ford dealership they would tell me that they could not fix it because they could not get the car to do what I was describing.

The truck has some issues while driving it . Its really hard to describe what its doing. . But when it starts to act up I let off the gas pedal an I just coast until the engine or transmission stops doing what ever its doing then I am able to keep driving normally. I worry when ever I am driving thinking parts might drop out from under it if I don't baby it kinda. . So I don't let anyone else's ever drive it because I am afraid they might not let off the gas when its having trouble in its shifting or the tranny is about to fall out underneath it . . What ever the issue is. I am not one who works on cars so how would I know what its problem is . When I have ask Ford dealer ships about the problems they just tell me there hasn't been any recalls on the truck so there for there is probably nothing wrong with it. I know what ever is wrong with it I cant be the only one who has issues with my truck. I am not rough on my truck. . I have a Ford Escape 4dr 4x4 6cy 2006 anyone able to help me how do I get Ford to fix this? I have gotten my truck paid off now an I don't have money to have to pay for such large repairs . Im single mom of two boys one of which has special needs . . I don't have extra money laying around to work on our truck. . Heck lucky to afford the gas to put in it . .
