Anti-theft Devices Problems of Ford Escape

Vehicle parked in driveway has started to send off the audible anti-theft alarm and lights at all hours of the night. I have researched this and no one seems to have an explanation. The car gets drove 1-2 times a week (~100 miles). Just hit 80,000. I have had no problems with this vehicle other than the audible alarm/ lights going off for no reason! the first time it happened was June 19, 2020 at 8:00pm. . . Next was June 20 at 7pm, 1:30am, 4:30am. I left the car unlocked for several days and it was quiet until I locked it. It went off on June 28, 2020 at 3:18am. I have checked the battery terminals for corrosion. Very clean. I reset the computer by pulling the positive terminal off the battery, inserting key to on position, replacing positive terminal. Consulted a reputable mechanic. Help.

Driving 65 mph on the interstate my 05 Escape began to skip,stall & died, anti theft light came on. I drive for 20 miles slow with it skipping and stalling. When I left off on gas it would continue to run until I made it to safe place. Attempted to drive for repair on state hwy it stalled and went dead. Ford dealership reprog keys- repaired drive off, barely off the lot and it quit again. Now I see this is a manufactures issue with 05 Escapes after an online search. New Ford diagnosis- new plugs & coil pack, intake gasket. 170,000 miles. My alarm randomly goes off too which could be related to electrical issues. Ford motor is liable if someone's vehicle stalls and is killed due to this problem they know about but have not corrected or recalled.

The anti-theft signal keeps coming on in my car. When I am moving and not moving all the warning in my car comes on. The speedometer goes to zero, the gas gage goes to empty, etc with all the other warning lights. I was driving on the highway and all of sudden every single warning light came on. I immediately got off the next exit and parked at a gas station. I turned the car off, but it would not start for about 10 minutes. I finally got it to start and drove quickly to work. I took the car that afternoon to Ford service. They said it was my ignition, so they changed the part and charged me over $320. When I drive my car the next morning, it happened again. I took my car to Ford again that morning. Now they tell me the board that had the electrical parts is corroded, so they changed that and charged over $720. The next day after I took the car home it happened for a quick moment, but then it stopped. Today 10/18/17 which is 2 days after I picked my car up from Ford service I let my car warm up in the morning for about 10 mins, but when I got in the car all the warning lights came on again. This time the car would not start at all and the anti-theft warning light kept blinking each time. So I had to call a tow truck. So now I have no car, I'm out over $1,000 and I have to get a car rental. And Ford service continues to charge each time including a diagnostic test for over $100. I didn't know I had an anti-theft system and I don't need one. There is nothing wrong with the car, but Ford service is not able to fix this. I don't feel safe driving the car and I don't know what I am going to do now. In my opinion this is a Ford manufacturing problem and I should not be charged to fix this problem. I don't want an anti-theft system. I want my money back. I have pictures for two of the times this happened. Although it happened more than two times.

Was driving along at 55 mph when out of the blue the engine sputtered and car shook. The check engine light came on and I had no acceleration from the gas pedal, the car was hard to steer and almost no brakes. When I finally stopped the car the check engine light was still on along with the throttle control/power train wrench light and the anti theft system light blinking. I restarted the car numerous times only to move about a 10th of a mile and it happen again. I have had the car only for 2 days now. I read online a lot of other people having this problem. Ford need to be made aware of this and offer a fix.
