My power steering went out while I was driving. I took this vehicle to my mechanic and he said that it was related to the power steering recall they did on this type of car. But when I put in my VIN it said this car was not recalled. So I am wondering if you guys skipped over my vehicle. I would appreciate if you would look into this. Thank you.

The car is reving high and accelerating poorly. Then the red triangle light telling me to stop safety now comes on causing me to pull over and shut car off. I turn the car back on and it drives but with same issues. Look on the carcomplaint.com website for tsb-09-19-12 and tsb-08-24-5 which detail what my car is doing and makes it appear like there is a cooling pump recall. Ford just told me there are no recalls listed for my VIN though. The frequency of which the red triangle light comes on is increasing this month. It was every few months and now it is weekly-daily.

Ford's recall "code 14s19" on 2005-2008 mariner hybrids and escape hybrids should cover all of these hybrids but it has exceptions! Ford has issued a recall on *some* of the 2005-2008 ford escape hybrids and *some* of the corresponding mercury mariner hybrids. However they are refusing to issue a recall on my particular 2008 mariner hybrid (which is exhibiting the electronic overheating problem described in the recall where the stop safely now comes on and there is an immediate loss of power). They are refusing to fix my mariner just because the VIN number does not match the particular manufacturing lot covered by the original ford recall - though my SUV does fall in the date range mentioned in the recall) I am certain this recall should cover more hybrid SUV than ford has admitted to, and since the mariners had a very limited production run, it is less likely that there wil be a significant number of complaints due to this very serious life threatening issue - and I would like to emphasize that there have been numerous complaints about this including on the federal safety agency. Ford should expand this recall to include all defective ford escapes and mariner hybrids before serious accidents start occurring as a result of vehicles shutting off during operation because of either drive electronics over heating due to a bad coolant pump, (and possibly other causes?). ----relevant recall-- the federal safety agency vehicle safety recalls recall number 14v526000 recall date 09/03/2014 component hybrid propulsion system ford contact number for recalls 1‑866‑436‑7332.
