I recently took my 2001 Ford Escape in for service for recall #07s51. While a partial repair has been completed the parts to complete the repair totally will not be available until August. While Ford states the vehicle is ok to drive they informed me not to park near structures or inside garages until the repair is completed in August, they cannot be held liable if I do so. That statement makes me believe the car is unsafe to drive down the road with my family in, yet Ford will not do anything to remedy the situation or expedite the repair or offer me a safe vehicle on loan until mine can be 100% repaired. I have made numerous calls and emails to Ford to get action on this repair and have been treated rudely and dismissed telling me there is nothing that can be done for me.

Wife had just gotten home from grocery store and about a half hour later the dog was barking. She looked into the garage and the 2002 Ford Escape was on fire. She broke a window to put water on the fire to keep it from spreading to other cars and boat in garage. Fire department arrived and finished putting out the fire. Escape was a total loss and garage had heavy soot and smoke damage. After getting the insurance companies notification of fire and getting wife's cuts stitched we got home about 7:00 p. M. Went to get the mail and there was a safety recall notice from Ford mailed on April 24, 2007 from michigan about the anti lock brake module. It stated the module could short out even with the key in the off position. Notified Ford the next morning of fire. They had it investigated, and said because of the severe damage in the engine compartment they were unable to determine the origin of the fire. I then asked could this safety recall cause this kind of fire, and the Ford representive said yes, but just submit it to your insurance company.

Approx 1 year ago - our 2002 Ford Escape started to smoke while sitting in the garage. When we got it to the dealer is was found that the wiring harness where it connected to the abs ecu unit had shorted due to brake fluid getting into connector. When the shop disconnected the wiring harness connector, the next day, the fluid ignited burning up the harness. The estimated cost to fix was $2000 dollars, replacement of the harness and ecu unit. Which since the majority of the damage was done in the shop Ford did cover the cost of the repair. I am just filling this as I have seen that this issue is under investigation, and thought that I should report our incident.

Abs left sensor failed requiring replacement of the axle.

Ford Escape 2002 - we have had an ongoing problem with the abs and brake lights staying on. We have had it into a Ford dealership several times, who was not able to fix it, and an independent mechanic who was finally able to identify that it was the antilock braking system's electronic control module causing the issue. Just read an article concerning an ongoing investigation into engine fires possibly caused by this module and are very concerned that we could be next. We first took it into the dealer the month our warranty expired so I am putting the "incident date" in for that month.
