Serious Defect of Ford Escape 2014

I bought a brand new Ford Escape 2014 on Feb 18^th 2014. On Feb 27^th, only one week after I picked up, the fuel injection system failure almost made an accident on highway! I even do not want to imagine what the consequence is if there were more traffic or fire happened in vehicle.

When I drove this one-week new Ford Escape 2014 on Highway 1 to Cypress, while my son and my wife were enjoying the new ride and beautify weather. Suddenly, the engine lost power and had constant serious vibrations; meanwhile, we smelt gas full into the vehicle.  Then I pulled over to the nearest exit and called Ford roadside assistance to tow the Escape to your repair shop. The next day, the fault parts, which caused this serious issue, were found in fuel inject system.

While waiting for the tow truck, the fuel came out of exhaust made a pool on the road. After towed to the dealer repair shop, the engine was not able to start.

I was told this is an unusual problem on new Ford Escape 2014. I may not luck for this serious fuel injection system defect. However, there is also another UNUSUAL problem came with this new Ford Escape 2014, and so far has not been fixed.

In the following posts, I will disclose more issues and mystery history of this new Ford Escape 2014. 

Marathon Run for Ford Escape Repair

Seems Ford does not know to fix this issue on my new Ford Escape 2014.

Feb 18/2014 when I picked up my brand new vehicle, I was told that the tailgate just need to be reprogrammed to get proper functionality.

Feb 25/2014 sent vehicle to dealer for tailgate reprogramming, did not resolve the issue by reprogramming, found a faulty harness need to be replaced, it takes about 14 days to order it and ship to the dealer repair shop.

March 15/2014 second time sent vehicle to dealer for tailgate repair, still not resolve the issue by replacing the harness. The dealer service needs to contact Ford engineer to get more information about how to repair it.

Today, one month and 10 days after, I am still waiting without further update regarding to this repair.
This is a defect comes along with the brand new Ford Escape 2014, I am not sure how long it will take to fix this issue, but I am willing to take this Repair Marathon Run with Ford.

A couple of years ago, I completed 8Km Marathon Run in 46 minutes 25 seconds and got this medal. Now I am going to take months or even years to run Repair Marathon to get the tailgate repaired so it can work properly!

I know it is a new challenge for me. However, I am ready to take this challenge! Ford, are you ready?
Let’s see if can make a new record.
