40We are concerned that the seatbelt and possibly airbag malfunctioned and contributed to my mother in laws death on 11/17/2025. The drivers seatbelt had not been latching properly and would come unlatched at random times prior to the accident. The car was taken to dealership, based on the seatbelt not staying latched and it was repaired on 10/20/2025. She continued to have issues with it after the repair. Less than a month later, she was killed in a low speed collision. The cause of death was ruled blunt force trauma to the chest. The officer on the scene expressed concern that the seatbelt malfunctioned and that it did not hold her securely.
I was driving my 2024 Ford Escape approximately at 20-25 mph on the street when the hood flew open, hit, and shattered my windshield. The hood remained against the windshield and I immediately stopped the car and removed the hood from the windshield. I was not injured as a result of this incident. There was no warning or alert that the hood might have been open. Most cars have a hood ajar alert but it appears that in this case the system failed. I subsequently drove the car home and alerted my insurance company and the Bill Brown Ford Dealership. I took the car to the dealership and they inspected the car and stated the safety hood latch was intact. However, prior to the incident, I did not open the hood nor did I release the hood safety latch. There was never a warning light to indicate the hood was ajar. I did filed a police report with the Farmington Hills Police Department. There were no
The car was in an accident. The curtain bags and the ones in the floor went off. The steering wheel did not.
I had problems with the brakes at first (system pressure). Than it was a powertrain failure. Followed by Turbocharger wastegate failure. It affected the vacuum system, brakes, and acceleration ability. Brakes became firm, but not stopping as well when applied. Had extreme loss of power trying to get up to speeds to enter highway & interstate at 60 then 70 mph. Dealership ended up replacing turbo wastegate. Exactly one week after getting it back. All the same happened again. Seeing others complaining of turbo wastegate failure (which is tied into vacuum/ pressure system & does in turn affect vehicle breaking system)
On January [Insert Date], 2026, my 2024 Ford Escape suffered a sudden turbocharger failure that saturated the vehicle’s internal HVAC system with toxic ethylene glycol coolant. The vehicle’s ventilation system subsequently pumped these toxic chemical vapors directly into the enclosed passenger cabin. The inhalation of these toxic chemical vapors posed an immediate, life-threatening risk to my pregnant wife and myself (a patient with moderate persistent asthma), backed by formal medical warning letters from our OB/GYN and Pulmonologist. When I refused to take delivery of the un-remedied vehicle, a Ford corporate representative mandated that I drive it anyway, stating that if I suffered a respiratory crisis while operating the vehicle, I should simply "call the ambulance". This ultimatum caused an immediate severe hypertensive crisis (160/112 BP), requiring emergency medical transport to CHI Health Immanuel and cardiac evaluation. This represents a critical component failure causing toxic cabin air contamination, compounded by a complete failure of the manufacturer’s remedy. Ford Engineering and Woodhouse Ford Service admitted in writing that they have NO scientific test to verify cabin air safety and NO official technical procedure to decontaminate the internal HVAC housing following this chemical saturation. Ford’s only attempt at a remedy was an external spot clean and a simple filter replacement, leaving toxic residual chemicals inside the blower housing. Ford's directive to operate a chemically contaminated vehicle without any scientific validation of air safety constitutes an extreme, ongoing non-operational safety defect that risks public safety. To protect my family from severe injury, I was forced to abandon the vehicle at a massive financial loss.
Power lift get kept closing which caused injury to my son. Lift gate if there is obstruction anywhere it should stop and go back up. Well this kept closing hit my son in the head caused severely bruised nose, laceration on his head and a mild concussion.
Instrument screen went black. Was unable to power screen back on. Noted screen was hot to touch. After about 5 min screen powered back on by itself.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the radio display turned off while driving and while the vehicle was idling. The failure was intermittent. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V315000 (Back Over Prevention), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, the dealer was unable to successfully perform the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software update while receiving assistance from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 35,690.
The adaptive speed control is supposed to react to changes in speed limits. It also reacts to bridge capacity signs. This causes a sudden change in speed that the occupants and the following vehicle did not expect. In one location the speed limit is 50mph and there is a bridge with a 20 ton limit. The vehicle brakes to slow down to 20mph when passing the sign.
When I am stopped at a light or stop sign and go to pull into an intersection, halfway into the intersection the vehicle stalls and does not want to move. It has caused me to almost get into several car accidents and thankfully other vehicles have been able to brake before hitting me. It has been scary as I have had my daughter each time in the back seat and a few times it would have been on her side she sits that would have been hit. Myself or a passenger is going to seriously get injured with the vehicle doing this. I took it to the garage and they can find nothing wrong with it as there are no lights on or codes but as soon as I pulled off the lot it happened again and it does it daily.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Escape. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V091000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My vehicle has been stalling for several months. I have taken to the dealership multiple times and it is still not fixed. Since the last visit at the service department it has done this 5 times. Twice today. It has done this multiple times crossing the interstate.
I have had my car in the service department twice and continue to have the same issue. I am scheduled to have the car in the shop again on 2-19-26. For several months! After stopping and starting, my car stalls for a few seconds and then takes off. Yesterday, the car stalled while crossing the interstate and there was another vehicle behind me. I am terrified that the car is not going to restart and I will be trying to cross a road or I will be rear ended l.
The vehicle has a documented defect involving [System, e.g., the HVAC system] which has resulted in [Defect, e.g., chemical residue entering the cabin]. This issue has caused [Safety/Health Impact, e.g., respiratory distress for the occupants] while the vehicle is in operation. I have taken the vehicle to an authorized dealership, and the service department has confirmed the presence of the [Defect], but they have stated they have no established protocol to decontaminate or repair the issue. Despite the documented health risks and the dealership's inability to clean the residue, the manufacturer has instructed that the vehicle is safe to drive. I am filing this complaint because the vehicle remains an unresolved safety hazard to all occupants.
Air bag on the drivers side of the car A deer hit the drivers side and there was no airbag deployment, the restraints indicator Lamp warning light was on No No
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the front driver’s and front passenger’s side seat heaters failed to adjust the temperature once the heater maintained a high level. The contact had owned prior Ford vehicles that automatically lowered the seat temperature once a certain temperature was maintained for a while. The contact had to manually adjust the seat temperature to avoid a potential burn due to the prolonged seat temperature. The dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Got a dash warning that car was over temperature or something to that effect and had to pull over on a two-lane highway(uphill). This was unsafe because I had to get over to the shoulder as soon as possible and avoid traffic. Vehicle is scheduled to be serviced at my ford dealer but have no outcome yet. I did later on check car with my OBD2 reader and saw a P1285 code which meant the cylinder head was over temperature. Upon further research it appears issue is known by ford and needs to be addressed by SSM 52219 which says head may have metal shavings in it and may need to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the infotainment system screen display was blank. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer determined that the computer processing unit needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on two different occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was walked through the process of resetting the system. No further information was available. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Following ongoing unresolved ADAS and Pre-Collision Assist failures that have required repeated service visits and manufacturer engineering involvement, my vehicle underwent a master modem/system reset while in dealership custody. After this reset, vehicle access, safety alert history, and diagnostic data were erased, preventing verification, monitoring, or reconstruction of safety-critical events. Safety Issue Description On or about December 11, 2025, while the vehicle remained in service for unresolved safety system failures, the dealership performed a master reset of the vehicle’s modem/telemetry system. Immediately afterward: •My FordPass access was removed •All historical vehicle alerts and safety warnings were erased •No active alerts are displayed, despite documented prior ADAS failures •The vehicle now shows no alert history, no mileage data, and no retrievable safety logs •The vehicle appears as a new/uninitialized vehicle in the FordPass system This reset occurred without resolving the underlying safety defect and while engineering had previously indicated no fix was available. Systems Affected The loss of telemetry, alert history, and diagnostic logging impacts multiple Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including but not limited to: •Forward Collision Warning •Automatic Emergency Braking •Lane Departure Warning •Lane Keeping Assistance •Blind Spot Warning •Rear Cross-Traffic Warning These systems rely on integrated camera, sensor, and software data that can no longer be verified, reviewed, or audited. Why This Is a Safety Concern The master reset eliminated evidence of prior safety warnings and failures, impairing: •Driver awareness of active or recurring safety conditions •Manufacturer and regulator ability to diagnose or confirm defect behavior •Event reconstruction in the event of a collision or near-miss •Oversight of whether safety systems are functioning as designed
The safety-critical driver-assistance systems on my 2024 Ford Escape have remained in a failed state since March 2025. The Blind Spot Detection (BLIS), Cross-Traffic Alert, Park Aid, Pre-Collision Assist, and Front Camera systems all display warnings and do not function reliably. The vehicle has now been in the dealership for over 62 cumulative days for this safety defect, including 38+ continuous days on the current repair order. Ford engineering has taken control of the case and has stated there is no fix available and no estimated timeline for repair. A major electronic module was replaced under engineering direction in November, but the same safety-system faults continue. The vehicle’s alert history and FordPass data have remained frozen and non-updating for months, indicating a continued system-level electronic failure. The vehicle is still at the Ford dealership under engineering control with no repair available, which confirms the defect is ongoing, unresolved, and unrepairable at this time. These persistent failures impact multiple crash-avoidance systems and create a significant safety risk during lane changes, cross-traffic backing, parking maneuvers, and forward-collision situations. I request NHTSA review this as a potential defect trend involving the 2024 Ford Escape driver-assistance systems.
My issue is with the volume of the turn signal. when you are driving you cannot hear it.On the highway you have no idea that it is on. I almost was in an accident when I was unaware it was on and someone pulled out in front of me Talked with the dealer that stated all 2024 Escapes are they way. It is very unsafe
Upon exiting a shopping center parking lot, I turned right onto a street which led up to a 1-lane construction site. I was travelling approximately 15 miles per hour, and drove approximately 50 feet when the car suddenly stalled. No fuel response to gas pedal. It still had momentum, and I was able to steer into a safe side spot. I sat there stunned. The car was still in drive gear. I put it into park and turned the car off. After another 1 or 2 minutes, I turned the car on again, and was able to drive it home another 2 miles. I did not have to drive through the construction zone. Had I been in the one lane construction, I could have been rear-ended because a stopped car would not have been expected by drivers behind me. It could have caused severe injury or even death to myself and/or driver coming behind me. This happened on Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, at about 2:30 pm. BTW, this is a hybrid vehicle. That option was not given when starting this account
Our vehicle has its 4th 12 volt battery since we purchased the car in March, 2024. The first indication that battery is defaulting is the interior lights do not light when driver or passenger door is opened. The 4th battery was installed on Oct. 7, 2025, after car sat for 3 1/2 days in airport parking lot and battery was dead upon our arrival. I believe our safety is at risk when interior lights do not light when entering car at night, because driver remains on street trying to acclimate to no light in car, making driver vulnerable to being hit by traffic not seeing driver. Also, requiring a jump start to the car causes risk to health, having to wait for assistance. Our car interior is black, making problem even worse. The Ford dealers we have used to replace the batteries are aware. Boshears Ford in Marshall, MI, and Lakeview Ford, Battle Creek, MI
There is no low fuel light on the dash. I just found this out because it is the first time I ran the gas that low. Brakes- When braking the transmission jumps. It makes the car hop. These are both safety concerns because you won’t know you have low fuel unless you shut the car off and turn it back on. With the brakes, no component should be making a car jump when you hit the brakes
The 2024 Ford Escape continues failing to record safety events. Alert history and messages sections are NOT updating after warnings . Because the alert-history system is failing, the vehicle does not store warnings. This prevents accurate diagnosis and hides safety-critical failures. ADAS systems are unreliable, making lane changes, reversing, and merging unsafe. Ford dealership and engineering hotline have been working on the vehicle since Nov 3 and have repeatedly reproduced ADAS failures. Safety alerts have continued since March 2025. Ford engineers and dealership technicians have inspected the vehicle multiple times, including the current visit (Nov 3–present). Engineering hotline continues to escalate. ADAS warnings have appeared since March 24, 2025. Today’s event shows that the Alert History and Messages features STILL do not log warnings even after repairs. “Following multiple failed repairs and an IPMA module replacement, the 2024 Ford Escape still fails to record critical safety alerts. As of today, the Alert History shows only a single old entry and does not log new ADAS warnings. The Messages section also shows numerous unread messages but does not display new alert data. This confirms the ADAS system and data-logging subsystem are still malfunctioning after weeks in the dealership and engineering involvement.”
My 2024 Ford Escape remains in the dealership since Nov 3, 2025. Today I was notified that Ford engineering and the dealer still cannot clear the ongoing Pre-Collision Assist / Forward Collision Warning faults. This is now the 13th documented safety-system failure. Multiple ADAS systems have failed since March 2025 (BLIS, Cross Traffic, Park Aid, Front Camera). After the Nov 14 IPMA module replacement, new issues developed including TPMS failure and alert-history not recording events. Vehicle is unsafe to drive and unrepairable after multiple attempts. Ford engineering states codes will not clear.”
See attached document for complaint.
“While driving a 2026 Ford Escape Hybrid loaner (provided while my 2024 Escape is in the shop for ongoing ADAS failures), the vehicle displayed a new safety system malfunction warning at startup. This is the third ADAS-related failure on this loaner (previous events on Nov 13 and Nov 23). Weather was clear and dry, and the warning appeared immediately at key-on, not while driving, indicating a system defect—not environmental obstruction. This now confirms a recurring pattern across multiple Ford Escapes and model years. My primary vehicle has had ADAS failures for months and remains in the shop since Nov 3 with no fix. This loaner failure further supports a platform-wide safety defect involving the camera/IPMA system.”
Component: Forward Collision Avoidance / Lane Departure / Visibility / Electrical / I am filing this complaint regarding a loaner vehicle (2026 Ford Escape Hybrid) provided to me while my 2024 Escape remains in the dealership for unresolved ADAS safety failures. The loaner has now shown two separate ADAS malfunction warnings: the first on Nov 13, 2025 (“Front Camera Fault / Pre-Collision Assist Not Available”), and the second on Nov 23, 2025 showing another safety system failure during startup. My primary Escape has been in the shop since Nov 3 for identical ADAS issues that Ford engineering has not been able to repair. The fact that the loaner demonstrates the same failures raises concern that this may be a systemic defect affecting multiple model years. The dealership has also acknowledged multiple Escapes with similar issues. Safety risk remains high.
TPMS Failure After IPMA Replacement – “After the dealership replaced the IPMA module on Nov 14, 2025 to address repeated ADAS system failures (BLIS, Cross-Traffic, Pre-Collision Assist, Park Aid, Front Camera Fault), the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) immediately stopped functioning. The FordPass app shows all four tire sensors missing (‘—’) and permanent ‘Tire Pressure Data Delayed’ warnings. This occurred while the vehicle remained in the shop for over 40 days with unresolved ADAS defects. The TPMS failure adds another safety-critical issue following a repair that already failed. This indicates escalating electronic instability and confirms the vehicle is unsafe and unreliable.”
Ford internal engineer emails from Aug 5–6, 2025 show Ford KNEW about this safety defect months earlier. The engineer told the dealer it was “ok and safe to drive with the warning messages” and admitted “engineering is aware of some customers still experiencing driver assist issues and software update is in the works.” The dealer also reported THREE other Escapes with the same failures. Ford Customer Service also emailed me saying “the dealership and engineers have not been able to resolve the concerns.” My vehicle is now 40 days out of service with Ford engineering still unable to fix the ADAS failures after module replacement.
In May/June 2024 at approximately 8350 miles the Accessory Protocol Interface Module ("APIM" failed. On the Center Display, I lost display and audio. This failure also impacted hands-off features, radio, use of traction /snow/slippery features, map, vehicle manuel, bluetooth, etc. The dealer service department (Autonation Westlake, Ohio) replaced the APIM at that time In September 2025 at approximately 48,300 miles there was complete failure of of the Center Display impacting the same features noted above. In addition the interior lights are not properly working. The service department of the dealer (Autonation Westlake, Ohio) informed me that their diagnotics revealed the failure of the Audio Control Module and the possibly the APIM. The service department replaced the Audio Control Module. This did not correct the problem. The service department said that the APIM, which had been previously replaced, needed to be replaced. After nearly eight weeks, the APIM has not been replaced. The service department has been unable to send the code to Ford Motor to get the replacement part. The Center Display and many other features are not working as of today's date 11/21/2025.
Version, perfectly formatted, non-repetitive, and aligned with the newest updates (vehicle still in shop, engineering cannot fix, extended delays, failed module replacement). Yes, use today’s date (Nov 21, 2025) as the incident date. ⸻ Complaint #7 – NHTSA 900-Character Version (Copy/Paste Ready) Incident Date: 11/21/2025 After a dealership-installed replacement of the IPMA/Front Camera module (authorized by Ford engineering) 11/14/2025 , the ADAS safety systems (BLIS, Cross-Traffic, Pre-Collision Assist, Park Aid, and alert history logging) are still malfunctioning. The vehicle has now been out of service since Nov 3 and the dealer reports that Ford engineering is still unable to identify a fix. The alert history remains corruptive and fails to record events. This is still unresolved ADAS issues and prolonged repair delays. Dealer has been exceptional in communication and left (2) voicemail stating Engineering hotline continues working on it but Ford’s inability to provide a remedy leaves the vehicle unsafe and unusable until further notice. Nov 3 - ongoing in shop.

Answer #1 — Component or System Failed The safety-sensor system failed, including the IDPM/PA module (Park Aid module), Blind Spot Detection system, Cross-Traffic Alert sensors, and the vehicle’s alert-history recording system. The vehicle and replaced module are available for inspection upon request. Answer #2 — How Safety Was Put at Risk The vehicle intermittently loses blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alerts, and parking assistance, which can cause missed hazards, unsafe lane changes, and inaccurate detection of surrounding vehicles. The system also fails to record or retain safety alerts, preventing accurate diagnosis and leaving safety events untracked. Answer #3 — Has the Problem Been Reproduced or Confirmed? Yes. The dealership and Ford engineering hotline have both confirmed continued faults even after replacing the IDPM/PA module. Alerts continue to appear intermittently, and the dealership states they are still unable to correct or stabilize the system. Answer #4 — Has the Vehicle Been Inspected by Manufacturer or Others? Yes. • Multiple inspections by the Ford dealership • Diagnostics and direction from Ford corporate engineering hotline • The issue remains unresolved despite repeated repairs, module replacement, and engineering involvement.
