2015 Ford Escape Problems and Recalls: What Owners Report

Purchased a new 2015 escape have had it in the dealer multi times for turbo replacement and the heads replaced. Was smelling coolant in the car took it to the same dealer for repair. That was over 7 weeks ago. Fords will not approve the repair that was caused by the coolant leaking into the engine. I have a active powertrain and Ford esp warranty.

Complete transmission failure while driving on highway. Ford had to do a complete rebuild at 87k miles. The failure rendered the vehicle useless for the highway and luckily my daughter was able to coast off the highway and limp home which took 2 hours for a 15 mile distance. Display indicated transmission fault - service now or something like that.

Warning light comes on. Transmission hit ok goes off. Messaglight goes on to shut car off I do that an message doesn't come back on. At one time my car even slowed downs to 40 and another warning light came on shut car off restarted an ran ok. That warning light stayed on until taken to Ford garage in gibson city. They couldn't find anything wrong so reset. These all began a month ago.

This vehicle has approx 45,000 miles, regularly serviced. Husband drove home from work and had issues accelerating. Rpm's would go up but the car didn't seem to respond very well to pushing on the gas. Took it to the Ford dealership who told us the transmission would need to be replaced as a piece of it (not sure exactly what piece) had broken off within the transmission and had destroyed it.

Vehicle is experiencing similar problems with previously recalled Ford escapes from 2015. Check engine light has gone on with the code to "replace coolant bypass valve"

Engine stalles and hp drops. Cant go pass 7mph untill you floor it for awhile or stop and turn it off and restart the suv.it happened as driven down the street three times.

Received safety recall notice number 15c06 engine could remain running when the key is turned off and removed from the ignition called and was told its not actually a recall confused and concerned as to why the paper says safety and the dealer says its not really

Driving normally and approached stop sign. Applied brakes with no stopping power. Went through stop sign and stopped with emergency brakes.brake failure without any warning or indication before or after incident. Vacuum pump and coupler failure. After repair, turbo failure 10 minutes after.

My multiple function display has gone blank which displays all warning chimes, messages and mileage. I contacted Ford customer service about the recall they had that was submitted on that model and year and they told me my vehicle was not included. Because of the same exact thing described in the recall I feel Ford should repair my vehicle at no charge. Recall # 15c03 thank you!

When the vehicle is park it kills the battery so we found that cluster is killing the battery we under plug the cluster for like three day and the battery was good and also its a new battery we put in the vehicle but we plug it back in and after 1 day battery dead so we know there some recall on 2015 Ford escape about the cluster be inoperative but Ford said there no recall NHTSA has it list as recalls

Whenever driving my car, it noticably takes longer than it should to shift causing my rpms to run higher than expected. For instance doing 35 I might be running at 2500-3000 rpms for about 15 to 20 seconds before shifting and causing my rpms to go down to around 1500.

My 2015 Ford ecspe se back up camera just stop working it would show a white screen flickers back and forward then all of suddenly it go to a black screen at first it look like it was some kind of message but couldn't really see what it said because of the flickering we thought it was the fuses but that's not the case it is a safety hazard for the back up camera not working.

Backup camera not working at times. Has been going for 3 years

Vehicle in park, in parking lot, started, notification came up on screen " steering assist fault service required" locked up so tight I couldn't move my wheels at all. If my car were to do this on the highway and a high speed I would end up crashing. The cost to fix this issue is around $2,400.00
