BRAKES NOT HOLDING PROPERLY; I ALMOST ROLLED BACK INTO A CAR TODAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON & STAYS ON. OMW TL THE SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE IT GOES BACK OFF.

AFTER DRIVING CAR 30 MINUTES THEN PARKING FOR 15-20 MINUTES UPON RESTARTING CAR & MOVING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR STUTTERS THEN STALLS. ORIGINALLY WAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM NOW IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. TAKING CAR TO MECHANIC TODAY TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC DONE. 1/25/2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE UPON STARTING. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A CONSTANT LOSS OF MOTOR POWER UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (SUNRISE FORD OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD, 5500 LANKERSHIM BLVD, LOS ANGELES, CA 91601, (877) 510-8967) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES; HOWEVER, THE DTC WAS NOT PRESENT TO REPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR A FAILURE REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY PRIOR TO BEING REPAIRED BY FORD OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD. THE UNKNOWN DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A REMEDY TO REPAIR THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE HOSE FRACTURED ONTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD NEAR THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED FUMES FROM THE ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM TO ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE.

MY ESCAPE SEL 1.6L 6 MONTHS AGO AFTER GETTING A FULL TANK OF GAS MY CAR STARTED AND THEN STARTED TO SHAKE AND STOPPED. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 10 MINS AND ONLY IF I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOD. CALL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF A PROBLEM AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN. MY CAR IS STALLING MAKING A NOISE, SHAKING AND THEN NO POWER JUST DIES. I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY. IT DOES IT NOW WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR BUILT AND TYPE CAR FOR THIS ISSUE. JUST NOT FOR THE 1.6 ENGINE BUT THE 2.0 ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED AT TO CAR PLACES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE ISSUE.... THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE PLEASE HELP!!!! PLEASE LOOK AT THE NVA-215SM 15V-813 AGIAN...

MY ESCAPE HAS STALLED 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 12 HOUR WINDOW WHILE MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE PARKING LOT AND RE-START THE VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, IT SER ME LIKE IT IS NOT RUNNING RIGHT, AND THINK IT IS GOING TO DIE ON US IN TRAFFIC. THE FRONT SEAT BELT DOES NOT GO BACK IN THE AREA WHERE IT BELONGS AND SITS ON THE FRONT SEAT. THE PASSENGER DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE RIGHT WHEN YOU OPEN IT. IT WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL YOU PUSH THE HANDLE DOWN AND THEN IT WILL CLOSE AND LOCK. WE ARE AFRAID TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE CAR ACTS AND RUN. WE JUST WANT IT FIX OR REPLACE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE HEAT IS COMING OUT NORMAL BUT WILL START TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING BUT AS I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR STARTS BLOWING VERY COOL THEN THE TEMPATURE GAGE MOVES TO H THEN THE SAFETY LIGHT POPS ON SHOWING "OVERHEATING STOP SAFELY" BUT THE CAR WILL NEVER SHOW ANY SMOKING FROM THE HOOD. THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST MONTH UNTIL 12/17/2018 I STARTED THE CAR UP TO WARM IT BEFORE I LEFT WORK, AND IT WOULDN'T DEFROST AND IMMEDIATELY THE TEMPERATURE GAGE MOVED TO H AND ON THE DASH IT SAID OVERHEATING STOP SAFELY AND THE CAR WASN'T IN MOTION NEITHER HAD IT WARMED UP PROPERLY BUT WHEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE , AS I APPROACHED MY DESTINATION THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN...

THE CAR HESITATE OR THE ENGINE STALL SOON AFTER STARTING, IF YOU DON'T DRIVE OFF IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS ON COLD STARTS BUT MOSTLY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING.

HAD TO REBUILD TRANSMISSION AND LOST POWER STEERING . THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ALSO

THIS CAR SHOWED A PROBLEM AROUND MARCH 2017 WHEN IT RANDOMLY STALLED AND DID WHILE IN PARK AT A PARKING LOT. AFTER THAT IT WOULD RUN FINE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND THEN I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF IT STALLING OUT AND DYING WHILE PARKED OR WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS AND SOMETHING KEEPS FRYING MY BATTERY. THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR NOW JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY REAL WARNING AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I TRIED TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT AND HAD A HARD TIME RECREATING WHAT I HAD DESCRIBED WAS HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, BUT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO IT GOING...

1. MY FRONT BUMPER CAME APART 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE AT A PLACE WHERE THE METAL WAS WELDED AND THEN CAME HALFWAY OF ALL PIECES FELL OFF ATTACHED TO FRONT BUMPER AND NO COLLISION TOOK PLACE HOWEVER WHEN I BACKED UP OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE IT CAUGHT ON THE CURB AND PULLED APART EVEN MORE. 2. SINCE PURCHASE AFTER FILL UP THE ENGINE CRANKS HOWEVER WILL NOT TURN OVER WITHOUT APPLYING A LITTLE GAS. 3. NOW YESTERDAY I HAVE TOO TURN ON IGNITION TWICE TO START EVERYTIME I NEED TO TURN ON THE CAR. 4. I ALSO HAD 5 RECALLS THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF FIXED ( THEY ONLY SAID REAR SEATBELTS HAD TO BE REPLACED) WELL SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED 3 DOORS WOULDN'T LATCH I HAD TO ROPE MY DOORS SHUT UNTIL I COULD GET INTO SEWEL FORD.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE HAD ENDLESS ISSUES AND PROBLEMS. I WOULD DRIVE A MILE OR SO TO GAS STATION, TURN OFF CAR, GET GAS AND THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR DRIVE 15 MILES, DO A JOB, 30 MINUTES LATER GET IN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO TURN OVER AND THEN STAY RUNNING. I WOULD THROW IT INTO GEAR TO GET THE ENGINE RUNNING AND SOMETIMES IT'D BE FINE, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD BOG DOWN AND STALL. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAD MECHANICS LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD SAY THE O2 SENSOR, WASTEGATE SOLENOID OR EVAP LEAK. THEY WOULD NICKEL AND DIME ME WITH ALL THESE LITTLE THINGS. THE CODES WERE, P0234,P26B7 AND P0456. THEY SAID COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THAT WAS CONTRIBUTING TO THE STALLING AND PROBLEMS. I...

I WILL BE DRIVING MY CAR AND RANDOMLY MY CAR STALLS AND THE ENGINE SEIZES AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I CAN TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON BUT IT CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENS, IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC BEFORE AND I'VE HAD TO AVOID MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

THE CAR HESITATES SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, MOSTLY FROM THE STOPPED POSITION. FOR INSTANCE I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND STOP AT A STOP SIGN, CHECK FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE CROSS STREET(WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A STOP SIGN/SIGNAL), WHEN IT IS SAFE TO PROCEED I PRESS THE GAS TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION AND THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLS OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN FINALLY AFTER ROLLING FOR A FEW SECONDS WILL PICK UP AND GO. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A STREET WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE TRIED LIFTING MY FOOT AND PRESSING BACK DOWN WHEN THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO AND IT DOESN'T WORK. IT'S ONLY STARTED DOING THIS IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO MAYBE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT VERY SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I...

THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND I HAD TO GET HOME SO I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE HOUSE. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM I COULD NOT TAKE MY CAR TO A TRIP WHERE I HAD ALREADY PLANNED, NOW I CAN'T DRIVE IT TO WORK EITHER, IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS AND THE SAME PROBLEM REMAINS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE (1.6L ENGINE) ON AN INTERSTATE, I WAS TRAVELING AT 80MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL. SUDDENLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DEACTIVATED AND I FELT A JOLT. I THEN OBSERVED A MESSAGE ON THE DASH WHICH READ ENGINE OVERHEATING, STOP SAFELY. I THEN OBSERVED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, THE COOLANT NEEDLE GO TO THE RED HOT LEVEL, AND I BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OVERHEATING AND WAS LATER CONFIRMED AT A NEARBY CAR REPAIR. ONCE STOPPED AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART, LOSS OF STEERING HAD BEGUN. MILEAGE DURING INCIDENT WAS 80,200. AFTER TAKING IT TO FORD REGARDING NEWER RECALL MSGS, THEY ADVISED THE STEERING RACK WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC AND MUST BE THE REASON FOR THE REPAIR. REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AFTER READING INCIDENTS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUES/CONCERNS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE.

GREETINGS, I HAVE A FORD ESCAPE 2013, 2.5 LITERS, AND I ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SUFFERED AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. IN THE SCREEN OF THE CAR IT SAID: "MOTOR DAMAGE, TURN OFF". THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE MY LIFE, BECAUSE THE CAR LOST ALL THE ENERGY, STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THE MOTOR WAS HESITATING. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL AND I FOUND A FORD NUMBER 14S17-S1 BUT THAT RECALL IS FOR 2.0 LITER AND MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 IS 2.5 WHICH MEANS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL WIRE THAT IS RECALLED FROM THE 2.0. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIND AN ANSWER, BUT THE CAR DOES THIS MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY AND ONCE YOU TURN IT BACK ON THE CODE DISAPPEARS LIKE IF NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I TOOK THE PAPER OF THE RECALL TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CANT DO...
