I received a warning light on the control panel of the car. Subsequently found that the differential pressure feedback egr (dpfe) sensor had failed. I see that many of the 2001 & 2002 Ford Escapes have this failure. Something was changed to resolve this as 2003 model does not appear to have problem (source autos. Msn. Com). Why should I pay $450 to correct a manufacturer fault.

The first incident happened on 05/01/06 after driving at least 30 min to 45 min. At a speed of around 50 mph, the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer where they diagnosed a loose gas cap. On 5/22/06 after driving again at least 30 min to 45 min. After returning home and backing out of the driveway my Escape stalled and would not start, after about an hour it started again did not take it to the dealer. The third incident happened may 30 after driving 30 min to 45 min the check engine light came on again. I took it to the dealer where they replaced the vapor management valve which is still not correcting the problem, so they are talking about replacing the fuel tank. The dealer has been very helpful, but after five years I would think I would not have this problem.

Consumer took vehicle to dealer' 4-5 times for the same problem. When she turned on heat or air conditioner there was a mildew smell. Each time that consumer took vehicle dealer she was told to come back if the light came on. Dealer could not reproduce the foul smell. Also, while driving a wind came into vehicle even though the doors were closed. In addition, consumer complained about the steering wheel making noise. Dealer will not look at vehicle again. However, consume complained vehicle was falling apart, and the dealers will not help.
