This problems happens right from when i start the car and it gets louder when i move the steering wheel left or right and also when i give the car gas to get it moving it does the wine as i'm moving but the last time i drove it the sound had gone away ones i had driven it for 5 minutes but as soon as i turned it off and came back 10 minutes later and started it up it was back again.
What could be wrong with my 2008 Ford Escape?
Added (1). First off, I know very little about cars, so I will try and explain the issue as best as I can. I noticed yesterday after travelling uphill behind a slow vehicle it had trouble getting back up to speed. Later that day, a light came on my dash (wrench symbol). It has trouble accelerating where the speedometer only goes to 40, and then slowly drops. While the RPM is like 3 when trying to accelerate. I'm taking it to the dealer on Monday and they will need to scope it. Does anyone have any idea wh
Added (2).. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? My fear is the transmission. I know Ford had a recall on there Electric Power Steering (EPS), could it be related?
Any advice and insight would be helpful.
This car was bought used at a reputable dealer, there's no warranty anymore. It was purchased about 5-6 years ago.
So I changed my spark plugs bit now my car won't accelerate I have a ford escape 06 3.0. While I was changing my spark plugs I unplugged a few hoses from the intake manifold but I plugged them all back in right. I'm gonna put the old spark plugs back to see if they were defective. Is that a possibility? The car turns on but when I step on the gas it won't accelerate at all. But it moves at 2 - 5mph of course. What are other possibilities for this kind of problem.
I turn 16 in a couple of months, so I've been looking at cars. I want something kind of big. I'm not one of those girly girls that wants something small and cute. I really like the 2012 Chevy Equinox and the 2012 Ford Escape, but I'm not sure if those would make good first cars? So it would be nice if you could give me a list of inexpensive cars similar to those. Tysm in advance.
Particularly I'm looking at the 2008 Limited model but I'm mostly interested in this vehicle because of the great gas mileage.
I'm looking for a used SUV / crossover similar to the Ford Escape gas mileage, and in the same type of price range.
any answers are appreciated and thank you for any suggestions!
When I got in the car the key wouldn't budge tried turning the wheel to the right which was hard to do but finally got it unstuck but car won't start. All the lights come on but there's no clicking sound or anything?
So I installed a new reservoir tank into my car because the old one had a leak. I drive a 2001 Ford Escape XLT V6. I turned it on to back it out into the street and it just… Felt weird. I don't know, like it felt drained of fluid. I refilled it with 50/50 coolant but maybe was it because it was emptied and it was refilling the hoses? Also, the car shut off. I did have to take the negative off of the battery (i don't know, I was told to do so in order to replace the reservoir) maybe did I not reconnect the battery? I don't know, I'm confused and I'm doing a terrible job at explaining this lol?
I bought a used vehicle in March 2014. I was driving last month, approaching an intersection (at 25mph or less) to make a right hand turn, there was a car ahead turning too so I depressed my brake but after slowing slightly my pedal went to the floor, I felt a light thudding under the pedal (almost like a pop) 2x, saw my ABS light come on (I was so rattled I don't know if it stayed on more than a few seconds or if it flashed 2x which is what I honestly think I saw) and I hit the back of the car in front of me. I know that my vehicle had over 2000$ repairs in Jan/Feb but the seller kept the receipts for tax purposes so I'm unsure how to obtain the records. I also now received a recall notice stating
FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2001-2002 ESCAPE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 22, 1999, THROUGH JULY 19, 2002, EQUIPPED WITH A BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR CAP THAT COULD LEAK BRAKE FLUID. IF BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FROM THE CAP, IT COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR. CORROSION CAN DEVELOP IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR LEADING TO MELTING, SMOKE OR A FIRE.
Added (1). I started looking online to see if what I experienced could have been caused by the master cylinder abs recall and it seems very likely according to most mechanical information.
Should I go to a mechanic, explain the situation, & ask that they inspect and give an opinion as to whether the defect is to blame then go to FORD?
Should I tell the insurance company first, FORD first, or?
I really do not want to take the wrong steps and getting the short end of the stick… Thank you!
The tube they used is still stick out of the gas tank and it's stuck… How do I get it out without ruining or wrecking anything?
My car (2001 Ford Escape XLT V6) has power windows and the back seat driver, I think, and the front right passenger window are done. So I'm wondering if it's actually possible to just replace the door panels or something and get a manual roll up window that way I won't have to deal with the motor breaking or whatever lol. I live in FL with no A/C so the windows have to be down, also it rains a lot here as most know lol.
