Ford Escape Phev Electrical problems by year

Ford issued a recall under campaign FSA 25SC4 Escpae / Corsair PHEV High Voltage Battery Cell Internal Short Circuit. As part of their campaign they advised customers to only charge to 80%. They finally issued a fix to the issue and their fix was to reduce to charging capacity of the High Voltage battery for 11.7 kWh to 8kWh. The vehicle when sold by Ford was sold as being able to provide 11.7 kWh on a charge resulting in 37 miles of electric driving. Now since the recall fix and their forced reduction of charging...

After Safety Recall 25SC4 (battery software update) was performed on September 22, 2026 at Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas (RO #602440, 12,767 miles), my 2025 Ford Escape PHEV permanently lost a large share of its electric driving range. Before the recall, a full charge took about 11 kWh and gave about 46 miles of electric range. Since the recall, a full charge takes only about 8.9-9.4 kWh, and real electric range measured on logged trips has dropped to about 28-33 miles per full charge, roughly a 30% loss. I drive in EV...

The digits no longer display on the speedometer gauge of the electronic dashboard. Digits on the high voltage battery discharge and charging gauge also do not display. Given those failures, I have concerns about warning lights that may not be working. The lack of proper speed indication increases the possibility of a collision. The lack of presence of the digits that are supposed to be there has been distracting and increases the possibility of a collision. Note: This seems to be the same or similar to a defect in the gas version of this model, for which there was a recall.
