I just bought this vehicle less than 3 months ago, and now it’s stuttering when I start it. It also stalls while driving.

Vehicle had transmission replaced at 80,000 miles due to the gears slipping and the car going forward in reverse and accelerating without pressing the gas. Vehicle now has 109,000 miles and has presented with other issues. The first incident occurred after fueling the vehicle. Owner got back into the car, all of the lights the turn on when a door is open illuminated and they proceeded to press the brake and attempt to turn on the car. The brake seized up and the car was not turning on. Owner had battery replaced three weeks ago at a shop and the computer was reset. Owner called roadside thinking it may need a jump. Roadside arrived and advised the vehicle was not in need of a jump as the battery components were testing fine and the lights illuminated and the key fob was working. Attempted to start vehicle numerous times, including with...

The car will stall out and say it’s overheating when it isn’t. This is very dangerous because it can cause a major accident. I have taken it to Ford dealership and another mechanic and each time they say there is nothing wrong with it but it’s been doing this since 2017 when I bought it.

For the past 2 years car is having identical issues with Ford recall 14S17 in a 2013 Ford Escape. Getting error code P0106 and have had MAF sensor replaced twice. Ford customer service indicated that this Escape was not covered under 14S17 since it was manufactured in 2013 after the effected dates in the recall.

WHILE DRIVING, INDICATORS SAID LOW COOLANT. CHECKED THE LEVEL AND IT WAS FINE. ERROR KEEPS SHOWING UNTIL SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST ALL MOTOR POWER. DASH ILLUMINATED WITH 'ENGINE OVERHEATING' AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY, REMOVED THE KEY FROM IGNITION AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. COOLANT LEVEL WAS FINE. TOOK TO AUTO BODY SHOP, THEY SAID CODES WERE SHOWING FOR LOW COOLANT/OVERHEATING BUT THEY DID A PRESSURE TEST AND FOUND COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE CYLINDER, WHICH COINCIDES WITH THE HUGE ENGINE RECALL AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. FORD WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS A PROBLEM BUT 'MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST'. ENGINE REPEATING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND LOSE POWER GOING FROM 30MPH DOWN TO 5 SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, I'M DISABLED AND FORD CO WON'T HELP NOR WILL ANY...

ON TOP OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BRAKE PEDAL MISS MESSAGE LOST COMMUNICATION WITH TCM AND LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE ECM

CAR IS STALLING NONE STOP

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE SE, 1.6 L AND RECENTLY IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS NOT IN GEAR WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL NOT REVE UP, NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. ON OCCASION SHE SAID THE BATTERY LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN IT DOES THIS. SHE TURNS OFF IGNITION, RESTART AND IS FINE TILL NEXT TIME. BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS.

I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 2 DAYS AND IT STALLS ON ME. SLOWING DOWN COMING TO RED LIGHT CAR STALLS. HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 DAYS. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANYTHING. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW TOTALLY UNSAFE!

THERE IS A SLOW ANTIFREEZE LEAK. EVERY TWO DAYS, ANTIFREEZE HAS TO BE ADDED BUT THE LEAK IS NOT VISIBLE. ALSO, UPON STARTING THE CAR, SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE; THE CAR WILL GET BOGGED DOWN RIGHT BEFORE 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN STOP UNEXPECTEDLY. IT DOES NOT COMPLETELY USE POWER BUT IT DOES STALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO EXPLANATION FOUND FOR THIS AND IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

IT SEEMS MY FORD IS EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO SAFETY RECALL 14S17, BUT FORD HAS NOT TOLD ME MY CAR IS AFFECTED MY THIS RECALL. IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS AND MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED MY THE LOCAL MECHANIC.

EVERY WINTER WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE INFO SCREEN DISPLAYS "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE AND ABS ICON FLASHES. THE RADIO ALSO GOES OFF AND ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS CORRECTED AND I AM TOLD THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY CODES FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS I AM LYING. I AM SURE BY CHECKING WITH OTHERS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE RESOLVED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN THIS WILL EFFECT ANYTHING ELSE.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DIED AFTER GIVING A HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING & THE ENGINE CAME ON. ONCE COOLED IT WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD ON IN REVERSE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE PREVIOUS ISSUES.

APPARENTLY BATTERY BEING DRAINED AND CAR WON'T START IN THE MORNING. SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE. BATTERY REPLACED N MAY 2020, ALTERNATOR REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2020. AAA ROAD REPAIR SAID BATTERY, ALTERNATOR & STARTER ALL WORKING FINE. ONLY 55,000 MILES ON 2013 ESCAPE SEL 4WD W/2.0L 14 GTDI ECOBOOST ENGINE. SHOULD HAVE A PARASITIC DRAW TEST? WAKE UP' ISSUES? SPOKE TO ONLINE TECHNICIAN TODAY.12/27/2020

WARNING CAME ON STATING ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO PULL OVER SAFELY. AFTER SITTING FOR 3 DAYS, TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN, WITH THE SAME WARNING. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OVERHEATED AT THIS TIME. COULD NOT DRIVE VEHICLE WITH THIS WARNING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME.

ENGINE FAULT - SERVICE NOW LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST ONCE/YEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR HESITATES AND RIDES ROUGH. I CONTACT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS?

FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS OUR ESCAPE WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD BUT AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES, THIS HAS BEEN TERRIFYING WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE CAR JUST STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND OTHER MECHANICS AND NOBODY CAN FIGURE IT OUT WE HAVE REPAIRED THE TURBO AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER AMONG OTHER VARIOUS REPAIRS THAT HAVE COST US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY A SEMI ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING IT! IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY.

FREQUENTLY AND USUALLY RIGHT AFTER I TURN THE CAR ON, THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THEN MY CAR WILL STALL. I CAN USUALLY CRAWL INTO A PARKING SPACE/OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OCCASIONALLY THE HILL START ASSIST LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OCCASIONALLY THE 4WD DISABLED LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL HAVE COME ON ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIGHWAYS BEFORE, BUT THEY HAVE ONLY CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL (LUCKILY) RIGHT AFTER I TURN IT ON AND BEGIN TO MOVE. THE HILL START ASSIST WILL USUALLY ONLY COME ON IF I COME TO A FULL STOP WHILE DRIVING, WHETHER I AM ON A HILL OR NOT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR (4.5 YEARS AGO). IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. IT NOW HAS STARTED HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY AT...

WHILE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD WITH MANY CURVES.WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABRUPTLY CONCERNING POWER STEERING. WHEEL LOCKS WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING WHILE ON THE ROAD THIS WAS REPLACED IN MARCH 2020. ONCE AGAIN IS HAS DONE THE SAME THINGS AGAIN WHILE REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPACE

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. IT ALSO WILL LEAK COOLANT SOMETIMES IM ABLE TO SEE THE PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR PARKED BUT SOMETIMES NO PUDDLE WHICH MEANS ITS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO WILL GO HAYWIRE AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE NEEDLES WILL FALL TO THE BOTTOM SHOOT TO THE TOP AND IT WILL HAVE AN ENGINE WARMING AND SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS OFF ALL TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL MECHANICALLY ON AND RUNNING. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS THAT ALL COVER THESE ISSUES IM HAVING HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED IN THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CAPACITY OR PARKED. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY THE FREEWAY THE SIDE STREETS WHILE PARKED WHILE MOVING SLOWLY. IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE THAT IM WORRIED TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THE CAR...

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP SCOTT FORD. MY CAR HAD LOW MILES AND IT WAS IN MY BUDGET, PLUS GOOD ON GAS AND FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD FARLEY SAFE. THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME SO MANY PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING IT AND HAS LEFT ME OUT OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. MY LATEST ISSUE IS A HUGE ONE AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH AS SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SADLY HAD TO DEAL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I PICK MY YOUNG CHILDREN UP FROM A CARLINE AT THEIR SCHOOL, AND ONE DAY WHEN I WAS THERE MY CAR STARTED TO REV UP SLIGHTLY THEN IT STALLED ON ME COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED THE SECOND TIME WITH SLIGHT HESITATION ON THE ENGINES PART. LONG STORY SHORT...

MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 SAID IT WAS OVER HEATING AND IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE CODE TURNED OUT TO BE THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR MISFIRING. SENSOR WAS CHANGED, TWO DAYS LATER I DROVE MY CAR AND IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN, STATED IT WAS THE SAME ISSSUE. PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AT FORD AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IVE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED, BOTH THERMOSTATS, WATER PUMP HAS BEEN CHANGED, BUT CAR KEEPS SAYING IS THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR. I DID READ THERE WAS A RECAL ON THE FORD ESCAPE 2013 DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE AND A SYSTEM UPDATE NEEDS TO BE DONE, HOWEVER FORD DOES NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT.

I POINTED THIS SHORTAGE OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED WHEN I CAME TO PICK IT UP.. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN NOVEMBER 2018 WITH A FORD BATTERY. 4 MONTHS LATER, IN FEBRUARY 2019 IT FAILED TO START DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE WITH CORROSIVE EXPOSURE. FORD CROSSROADS REPLACED IT AT THAT TIME (2019) WITH ANOTHER NEW FORD BATTERY AND ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 THE BATTERY FAILED AGAIN.

I SAT IN THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. EVER SINCE THIS, IT HAS BEEN STALLING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND I CAN DRIVE A FEW YARDS AWAY BEFORE IT STALLS AND I AM FORCED TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TRY AGAIN. IT WOULD DO THIS A FEW TIMES THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN.
