Just this week, we learned about a Ford CMax Focus Escape recall 2015 that affects about 433,000 new models.

Certain models are being recalled for a safety compliance issue that has to do with turning the engine off, but to this date there are no injuries Ford is aware of that are due to the issue. In the 2015 Ford Focus, C-MAX and Escape, some drivers have noticed that the vehicle continues to run even after turning the ignition to off and removing the key, or after pressing the engine start/stop button.
