TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE, THE LUG NUT WRENCH FAILED TO RELEASE THE LUG NUTS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SMALL TO FIT OVER THE LUG NUTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EQUIPMENT WAS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS ABLE TO ASSIST IN REMOVING THE LUG NUTS AND CHANGED THE TIRE; HOWEVER, THEY HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THE LUG NUTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAPEVINE FORD (801 E TX-114, GRAPEVINE, TX 76051), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DETAILS OF THE WRENCH WERE UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,450. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2016 FORD ESCAPE 1.6 SE AWD HAS FRONT BRAKE SQUEELING PROPLEM ONCE HEATED UP AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVEN FOR SHORTER TIMES. ABOUT 3/4 AROUND TOWN, 1/4 HIGHWAY DRIVING. BROUGHT IN TO FORD AFTER ABOUT 1 YEAR. THEY SANDED THE SURFACE OF THE PADS, ROTORS. PROBLEM CEASED FOR A LITTLE OVER 8 MONTHS. PROBLEM RETURNED AND NOT BROUGHT IN UNTIL INCESSANT LIKE BEFORE. THIS TIME, NOTHING WAS DONE. WAS TOLD WITH NO ABNORMAL SIGNS, THIS WAS NORMAL. VIN CHECK RETURNS NO RECALLS.

WHILE DRIVING OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL AND/OR THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE MARCH 2018, WHEN IT WAS FIRST NOTICED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON APR 2018 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. AFTER 3 VISITS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR. ON MAY 26, 2018, THE CAR FAILED AGAIN. THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME WHEREAS, PREVIOUSLY IT DID NOT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THE THROTTLE VALVE WAS REPLACED PER THE CODE. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND FAILED AGAIN. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DI COME ON - BUT SINCE HAS "RESET" BECAUSE IT IS NOW GONE. MY CONCERN OVER THE STALLING IS THAT IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME AND AT ANY SPEED. THE REACTION IS AS IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHERE IT SPITS AND SPUTTERS. IF A SEMI IS BEHIND ME AT 65-70 MPH, THEY WILL RAM INTO ME BECAUSE THE DECREASE IN SPEED WOULD NOT GIVE THEM TIME TO REACT. SO DANGEROUS. SINCE APRIL 2018, THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM - 4 TIMES AND NEEDS TO GO BACK AGAIN. BOTTOM LINE - NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT.
