On XXX, [XXX] performed Safety Recall 26C11 on my 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid (R/O XXX). Immediately after the procedure, the vehicle’s onboard telematics modem became completely non-functional (blank ESN on the SYNC screen), disabling all emergency communication and FordPass vehicle connectivity. When I brought the failure to the dealership's attention under Ford Corporate CaseXXX and case CXH-XXX, Service Manager [XXX] formally refused to inspect or correct the post-recall malfunction unless I paid an upfront $219 diagnostic fee, stating in writing that 'Ford is not paying and the recall is not paying so we are at an impasse.' The dealer is imposing unauthorized diagnostic fees on vehicle owners to inspect safety-recall-induced defects, leaving safety communication disabled.

"While driving my 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid, the vehicle suffered an abrupt powertrain failure. A wrench icon and check engine light illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle immediately dropped into a low-speed mode that severely limited my throttle control on the road. I was unable to drive home and had to leave the vehicle on the road until I could get a tow. The vehicle is currently grounded and unsafe to operate at a Ford dealership lot. Ford customer service is actively refusing to authorize alternative transportation or honor the extended coverage parameters outlined in Customer Satisfaction Program 23N06, which covers this exact engine defect."
