NHTSA Complaint #11282326 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

MY CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS. IT STALLED PERIODICALLY BUT I THOUGHT WELL MAYBE IT'S WAS BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT WAS OUTSIDE. BUT THAT IT'S THE CASE. I CAN BE AT A LIGHT STOPPED, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET/EXPRESSWAY AND IT'LL START TO LOSE STUTTER AND STALL OUT WITH ONLY THE BATTERY LIGHT AND OIL LAMP LIGHT COMING ON. SOMETIMES ITLL START RIGHT BACK UP OTHERS IT HAS IT SIT AND COOL DOWN. EVEN THO MY ENGINE ISN'T READING HOT OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. EVERYTHING READS FINE. I'VE TAKEN TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND FINALLY JUST 5 DAYS AGO TO A FORD DEALER WHO HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS AND ALL HE COULD SAY IS IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE A CRACKED WATER PUMP! THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING FOR US WITH THE 1.6 IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME EXACT THING GOING ON WITH THE 2.0. TODAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED MY OIL DIPSTICK WAS SMOKING
