2009 Ford Escape Electrical system Problems

“My vehicle is coming alive at night with headlights and radio coming on that I haven't be able to park it in my garage as o feel like it may end up catching fire. While driving it will shut down the turn signals, break lights, and climate controls and shut off the radio. I've narrowly avoided many collisions due to having no turn signals and break lights at night and throughout the day. …”

“Takata recall since I bought this car a lot of problems with electrics issue sensors, power steering, ignition, speeding sensors, (all electrics) the worst one is power steering. There was a recall on line for this model but not for my car. (why not my car?) there are in recall all 2008 - 2011 Ford escapes”

“I happen to see it's a lot of recalls on the Ford escapes I typed my vinland it shows zero recalls but I'm actually having the same problems that the recalls have my Ford Escape powersteering asist fault screen can't up now it's hard to turn and what not before this screen popped up I hadd another screen telling me tire sensor fault this problem is well common I actually think they need to recall more vehicles”

“Steering has completely frozen during operation making controlling the vehicle virtually impossible. I'm absolutely petrified to drive my vehicle. These problems are very irresponsible on fords behalf. On a straight road traveling about 25-30 MPH. Next I had a left turn coming and my steering wheel failed to turn, and almost ran into another vehicle head on. To say I'm petrified of my vehicle at this point is a gross understatement.”

“Electronic throttle body: driving down the highway the vehicle lost power, I was able to avoid traffic and make it safely to the side of the road. After a few minutes I was able to restart the vehicle and continue on. A few days later this happened again, fortunately on a less crowded street.”
