36 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2014

I was pulling into a parking spot at a cvs pharmacy, about to put my cat in park when it surged forward and into the doors of the store. I was not injured but mortified that I could have killed someone. When I received the recall notice I took my vehicle to five star Ford in plano, TX. Today, I had my state inspection yesterday and asked if they could pull up the trouble codes on my computer. The manager told me that the shop's computer couldn't but he had his own code reader that would show the complete record. He did and told me it was erased and there was nothing on it. Five star Ford in plano is the only place my car has been to that could possibly do this since the accident. I asked them at that time if I could get a transcript from the computer but they said they couldn't do it.

8 am removing packages from rear of Escape. Upon simply closing the hatch door, the glass shattered to bits. I have opened and closed that hatch door dozens of times. It closes well . No need to slam. Shocks balance well. I checked the web and found many similar occurrences. I immediately recorded (camera) the aftermath with the hopes that Ford may come to the pump. I had the car fixed at the dealer $1200 out of pocket. Ford canada will not even acknowledge the NHTSA #10039131 TSB 10-22-10 per phone call to Ford help line.

My car stalled out as I was driving down the street. I had to turn off my car and restart it. It was able to restart but about 5 minutes later it did the same thing. At one point I was in the middle of an intersection. When I took it in to the dealership they told me this was happening to many other Ford Escapes as well as Ford fusions. At this point they told me the part was back ordered for 2-3 weeks. They told me most people were just able to drive the car with the random stalling out until the parts came in.

The rear gate will not open. The lock will not respond to the power unlock or remote and there is no way to get it open. There is no alternative way to open the rear gate and could be a problem in an accident. I have read multiple complaints on line from other Escape owners, this seems to be a reoccuring issue with these vehicles, but is not a recall, and often times they don't know how to fix it.

I had my 2010 Ford Escape parked in my garage at my house and I opened my rear lift gate to get something out of the back. When I shut the lift gate like normal the glass exploded all over. There was nothing in the rear that came in contact with the glass or lift gate to cause it to explode or shatter in anyway. I was lucky to have only gotten a minor cut from the glass shard if I was standing somewhere else I could have gotten seriously injured.
