I didn't hit anything to cause the airbag to deploy. It caused me injury and could have caused an accident because there was no warning, it suddenly exploded with a loud noise, if this happened when I was on the highway it would have caused severe accident, luckily I was backing the car up when it happened. I was driving and the airbag exploded while I was backing up. I pushed it back on and went to Ford to get it fixed, they couldn't help me because they had no techs employed that work on my year vehicle, they never told me it was a safety issue and sent me on my way to look for outside mechanic not a FORD specialist.

#2012 ford escape recalls update#
I set up an appointment for mid January and will update this post with any solutions. I thought Ford fixed this problem as the previous generation had the same issues. This seems to be a common problem with Escape transmissions. It just never seems to run the same set of gears during acceleration, always seems like a crapshoot on which gears will engage. Can take 20 to 30 seconds to go from 0 to 30 mph and sometimes even downshifts while it should be up-shifting.
Absolutely no power when accelerating from a dead stop. Hesitation up to 3 seconds sometimes before the car accelerates.
Transmission slippage is getting more noticeable and jerking harder and more often. The vehicle remained to perform poorly for several months but has been getting worse in December and January. When I got vehicle back there was very little change. They said they would either replace the transmission or repair it, depending on what Allstate wanted to do.They went ahead and fixed the differential bearing only.
Eventually came to the conclusion that a differential bearing was bad and was the cause of the problems and the cause of the metal filings in the transmission fluid. Have extended warranty and took to Ford Dealer in September 2016. Gas mileage has been getting worse by the month. It is also very loud, sounds like a diesel, most likely due to faulty shifting points that make engine constantly race at high RPMs. It also has an intermittent problem with downshifting while pressing the accelerator. Sometimes it would miss a shifting point and engine would race up and it would eventually catch and jerk the entire vehicle. No power unless you absolutely floored it into the 6 to 7,000 RPM area. Merging onto freeway was downright dangerous. Transmission started to miss shifting points badly. After a few months things started getting progressively worse.
