CarComplaints.com Notes: With solid trends of engine failure — $4,500 to fix at 85,000 miles avg — AND transmission failure — $3,000 to fix at 75,000 miles avg — we can't recommend the 2006 Ford Escape to anyone except your worst enemy.
The engine randomly revs when using the A/C. Ford wants $120 just to put the car on diagnostics. One service rep at Ford dealership said it's most likely $#$^&$$ and would cost $1500. to fix. If he already has a solution than this must be a common problem with Fords which leads me to question why it is not a warranty or recall issue.
I see other people on here with acceleration issues. I wonder if these issues only occur while the A/C system is switched on. I feel this is a real safety issue as the car can lurch forward while stopping or stopped at a stop sign or suddenly accelerate while driving. I recall Toyota being responsible when similar instances happened with their vehicles. Ford appears to be looking for a cash grab at the service department as an answer to this problem.
the fuel system and the gasoline pedal stuck had accident
Driving from my work on the way go home the fuel system and the pedal accelerate. I crash a Ford Explorer dont stop and still accelerate will be kill my self, I have nerves break down. My Ford Escape is crash i can"t us it.
