Driving down the road at approx. 45 mph, i hear a loud pop, and the rear window exploded. Nothing hit it, wiper was not on, rear defrost had turned off about 5 minutes prior. Luckily all of the glass, and i mean all because the entire rear window is gone, was either in the back of the truck or on the bumper. Now i am out almost $300 plus for what reason? Then i see i am not the first this has happened to. I don't…

The rear hatch window of our 2005 ford escape suv exploded while parked in our garage. We heard a loud boom, then the sound of glass shattering. We discovered the rear auto-safety glass had blown out and was everywhere, covering a two garage bay area. It was 3:30am and no one was in or near the vehicle at the time.

It feels like a brick is underneath the accelerator pedal. No matter how hard i push down, the pedal doesn't budge. Then without reason the pedal works again. At first it would happen when i shift to third gear and i would be in the flow of traffic and not often, maybe once every 7-8 months. Now it has occurred everyday once a day the last three days. One time backing up. The accelerator pedal will not engage.

While the 2005 ford escape was being driven on a four-lane road, the gas pedal stopped working. The car was going downhill and the driver steered it into a parking lot. There, on closer inspection under the dashboard, it was evident that the throttle cable had failed where it connects to the top of the articulating arm of the gas-pedal: depressing the pedal did not pull the cable; the cable end protruded through a…

My 2005 ford escape has a problem with the accelerator sticking. It used to only stick in cold weather right when i started the car, but now it does it regardless of temperature, and even while driving. I went from having this problem maybe once every three months (approx 3 years ago was the first occurrence), to it happening almost every time i drive the car. When it sticks, i cannot accelerate at all. I will use…

Also, at any speeds the engine will cut out. Example is when at stop sign at intersection or cross street, while in drive and proceeding across intersection the cars engine and all electrical will turn off. I will then…

I am wondering will there be any recalls on other cars other than toyota related to gas pedals sticking? My ford escape's gas pedal would get stuck and after taking it to my local dealer they said it was the throttle body assembly that needed to be replaced. I had to wait 2 weeks for the part to come in from china. Is there any relationship between what is going on with toyota and my problem i had with ford. This…

The driver's front door began causing problems. Occasionally, it does not open, period. Additionally, the lock mechanism is inoperable. I removed both driver's and passenger's front door panels to inspect, compare and finally determine the issue. There seems to be a problem, which a friend temporarily fixed. It--the exterior door handle--after tweeking, worked for a while. Fast forward, 2015, i cannot open nearly 3…

So i did and it still had the vibration and noise. Called again and they said it…
