The awd module malfunctioned and had faults. Issue was confirmed by dealer with no explanation and had no cause for failure. Awd fault and service advancetrac warnings appeared and reappeared each time the vehicle was turned on. Vehicle could only use front wheel drive and cruise control was also affected. The dealer kept the malfunctioning module so unknown if it will be inspected.

First the car start showing : awd,fault. Later hill start not available. Collision assist not available. Awd, off and many other areas in the screen. Few times in danger of an accident for not having the collision assist operational. The problem was verified by the caguas Ford dealer, has not been inspected by any other person. Only the little sliding car showed up prior to all lther lights, ,.

My awd module went out and several features of my vehicle were in-operable. I have read that this is a common problem with this vehicle, and it tends to happen around the same mileage. The failure of this module makes the pre-collision assistance fail.

My wife and I bought our 2020 Ford Escape new from a dealer in 2020. We are the first owners of this vehicle. In the time that we have had it, we have experienced the following issues: 1- the forward camera module that provides collision prevention, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, etc has failed. The dealer claims that the unit “overheated”. The module is no longer covered under warranty due to mileage. The result is that our vehicle no longer has the safety features that we paid extra for upon initial purchase. 2- the evaporative canister purge valve failed, causing difficult starts after refueling. This was not covered under warranty, due to mileage. 3- the driver door hinge check arm welds have all broken loose and no longer hold the door when opening, and the loose arm is now preventing the door from closing properly and, when closed, causing the drivers window to not roll down fully. This is not covered under warranty because of mileage and (while it is a manufacturing defect), it has not been subjected to any recalls, so the dealership will not repair/replace it.

Error message that awd, and associated sponsors are not functioning. This is failure of awd module lx6z 7p238 aanp. Ford has issued a minimum recall/service warning (but not all 2020 Escape models). All warnings and assistance related to awd are incapacitated/not functioning, including auto parking brake.

Awd module failed problem confirmed by dealer Ford previously had a recall for this exact problem. That recall should not have expired as the problem is still ongoing.

Awd module failure and needs to be replaced. Service lights came on, and awd was disabled, pre-collision was disabled, and hill-start assist was not available. I looked this up, and al ot of people have had the same problem. The vehicle was just outside the warranty (37,688) and cost over $1100 to repair. Awd should be considered to be in the powertrain warranty that is still active.

Vehicle has 32,600 miles. On start, received the following warnings. "check brake system", "hill start assist not available", pre-collision assist not available", and the abs light was lit. The brakes were extremely hard to use. Had vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership tested and received code u3000. They "reprogrammed" the abs, pcm and ipc modules and performed a "battery disconnect". The fix was not covered by warranty. The dealership said that this could happen again. They were vague about whether it could occur only on start or at any time. Reoccurrence at road speed would likely result in an accident as the vehicle was extremely hard to stop.

Car flashed collision warning on highway going 60mph. No cars were nearby as car continued warning. Cars brakes kicked in and I was eventually able to override this and steer out of a collision with other vehicles. Car flashed a bunch of codes and dealer did system reboot.

I was just driving one day and then the hill start assist warning, pre-collision assist not available, and powertrain malfunction/reduced power warnings all popped up. Upon further research there have been multiple people with this exact issue. Ford states the awd module needs to be replaced. I have yet to do so but will do so in the near future.

I get the message to stop safely now and then car turns off in the road. Will not turn back on. Also get messages for deep sleep mode and low voltage. I do not feel that it is safe for the car to stop in the road and not be able to move. It has been to a dealership now this is the 3rd time for the issue. The light first appeared in November 2021. It was taken in for service then, again on oct 18 2022 and now on oct 26 2022.

My incident report is a non accident report, I am trying to be proactive and report problems I’ve experienced with this vehicle since I purchased this vehicle 2 years ago. The vehicle has been problematic since I purchased brand new in 2022. I’ve been reporting this issue for two years and the mechanic has not been able to resolve the issues.

I just had it in the shop. The car acts like there is going to be a collision when nothing is in front of it. Also try’s to pull me off the road. Been computer and electrical issues since I bought the vehicle.

Driving on freeway at 70 when cruise went off and car slowed down “power train malfunction,detecting erratic signals from timing sensor” came on tried to get speed back up could get to about 67 and exited 1st ramp. Stopped in parking lot called dealer. They said it would be fine after turned off an back on. “wrench repair light went off service light stayed on. After time both lights were off and drove home safely. Next time I drove was fine until drive home didn’t take freeway but busy road with 55 mph limit. Started. Losing power again then when stopped at light stalled. It took eight tries to restart and slow acceleration finally got to speed but was hesitating . Took to dealer next morning said was probably reset on gear code. After he said that may not the be problem but drive and see. At first stop had only very slow speed, rpm we’re high but only going about 3 mph. I had to cross a busy 55 mph road and was so scared it would stall again. Got home safely dealer cannot get back in for 5 days. I drive 70 or on 55 mph roads usually with at least 1 or 2 children the youngest 5 months. I am too afraid of driving this car again incase it looses power or stalls and someone isn’t paying attention. Also when these cars stall and you are in traffic you can’t just put in neutral and push out of the way. You feel like a sitting just waiting to get squashed. This problem is very dangerous for driver passenger and other cars. Please help.

My daughter was coasting and the person in front of her slammed on their brakes causing her to slam on hers. Her collision warning did not go off until after she hit the car in front of her so she had didn't have enough time to stop. We pulled off into a parking lot and called the police to inspect the cars. Two weeks later there was a recall on the back brake pads. She ended up getting a ticket for impeding traffic which ended up costing $150. 00 plus $5. 50 for fees. I also have damage to the grille and bumper on my car that needs to get fixed.

I was driving along in a eagle grove. Iowa when my Escape's collision assist was shut off, then the traction control light started to come on and off. I tried to shut it off with a button but it wouldn't listen. Also my engine acted like it was dying I could only go about 5 miles per hour. I found a parking lot, pulled in and shut the car off hoping the computer would reset. I waited a bit, tried the Escape and everything was fine. I drove off. This Escape was in a car crash in Feb. 2021 the brakes failed and my son was driving we hit another SUV. Now I wonder if someone shut off our brakes. I am scared now, I think someone is trying to harm me.

Our pre-collision light keeps coming on for no reason. Northgate Ford won't deactivate it for me. It goes off randomly and it's a major safety issue since I could wreck my Escape. The whole dashboard lights up in an orange color and it dings repeatedly.
