Wiring problems of the 2014 Ford Escape

Car dash board electrical wiring has gone bad. Originally the information on screen was fading and after about a month no longer shows any information. Ford stated the entire panel would need to be replaced, involving re-reading engine mileage and programming keys again for $700. Did not get that fixed as it's not a necessity. Driver window motor failed without warning while driving with the windows up. Now the engine has been reading a turbo issue but it cannot be determined if it's the actual turbo boost or the waste gate. This lead to transmission skipping and ultimately stalling while driving on highway and then city roads and having to restart car several times to make it home and then towed the car to local mechanic shop who stated transmission needs to be replaced for $4500. Along with a fuel line issue that had already been repaired 2 years prior and again unable to confirm why the turbo sensor code is popping up. Car is used for typical daily driving with children and should not have these issues. There are recalls for this make/year but not on my specific VIN though they are similar issues. The cost to repair the vehicle is more than it is worth and I'm very unsatisfied with the longevity of it. I did get the recall for my doors done after one day driving and a back door opened on its own, come to find out they still need to replace the other doors.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while attempting to connect a trailer, the wiring harnesses failed to sync. The vehicle was taken to (gary smith Ford inc 1 beal pkwy NW, fort walton beach, FL 32548) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the wiring harnesses were incompatible. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

Car occasionally died at stop lights, signs and once on the exit ramp while exiting a highway. Occasional to often rough running especially at low speed and odd shifts from the transmission. Surging in the engine while at highway speed and when slowing to stop. Engine fault message would come up in display and I took a picture, showed it to service manager with no success. Computer would not store codes when these problems occurred so on 4 separate trips to the dealership I was told there was nothing that could be done and to continue to drive it and bring it in if it happened again. Vehicle finally died and check engine light came on and stayed on. Had it towed to the dealership and a signal return for map wiring problem was diagnosed and repaired. After some reading I believe there have been service advisories and possibly a recall for certain VIN's. I told the dealership I did not feel safe driving the vehicle with the problems it was having but it made no difference.

Back seats buckles with not fasten. Wiring system trips multiple sensors sometimes shutting off the engine completely in the middle of traffic.

I got into the truck and crank it up as I was leaving work one afternoon and when I turned the radio on the display screen for the rear back up camera and radio went out. . Its was flashing white and black and then black with a white line thru it after it kelly flashing turning red green orange with lime just running thru the screen. Then about 10 minutes tops it was gone out. . It only takes me 12 minutes to get home from work and it didn't last that long so took it back to my dealership and they don't know what wrong with it. But I have no radio and no camera. I continued to drive around not knowing what was wrong with the truck and one night it make a spark as I was sitting with it running at a fast food drive thru. The smoke was coming from the front vents so it parked it and called the tow truck. Quick towed it back to the dealer who still couldn't figure out a problem they just disconnected the wiring completely so I'm worse off as far as it goes to figure out the problem . I don't see any fixes for these issues but I've seen lots of the same complaints please help.

I was driving on a flat road, traveling 35 mph and my check engine light came on and the car died. I had it towed to the dealership and they said the "wire repair harness 3526 cpd" had came loose. I had not ran over anything at all and the vehicle is in great shape, always maintenanced by dealer, 38,569 miles. I was told my VIN was not covered by recall but online I found recalls for 2014 for Escape for the wiring harness. I paid for the repair but I believe this should not occur on a 2014 vehicle and should have been covered by a recall.

My vehicle keeps stalling and dying when I am driving at a slow speed (roadway or parking lot alike) , I replaced the battery to make sure that wasn't causing it and it still does it. I started to research the issue and apparently there was a recall for that model for the wiring harness and the description matches my issue. I called the dealership and was told that my vehicle does not have the recall. I did more research and there are numerous accounts of dealerships stating this is not a recall and some people were almost injured because of this. Vehicles stopping while driving is very dangerous. This recall definitely needs to be expanded. The code reported for this is tsp 13-12-12. . Read more...

First the wiring had to be replace, week later catalyic convertor, week later transmission, car is only 4 yrs old.

My 2014 Ford Escape suddenly hesitates and stalls while driving it, causing a serious safety issue. My Escape has never had any work performed on it beyond new tires and oil changes so this is a manufacturing defect. I took my vehicle to the local Ford dealership for service and was informed it is a problem with the splices in the wiring harness for the map sensor. I was also told it is the exact same problem as Ford's current recall number 14s17 for 2013-2014 Ford Escapes; however my VIN is not covered by this recall due to its manufacturing date. Apparently additional vehicles need to be added to this recall or a new recall needs to be issued as this issue continued on my Ford Escape and Ford has refused to fix my problem since my vehicle is out of warranty due to the number of miles, even though this is clearly a safety issue caused by a manufacturing problem and not a wear and tear issue. I was charged $360. 35 to repair my vehicle.
