MY CAR STARTED SHOWING ENGINE OVERHEATING AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO DEALER THEY CONFIRMED A CRACK LEAKING FLUID INTO ENGINE. RECALL WORK DONE IN 2014 WAS TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY A NEW $6000 ENGINE TO HAVE IT RUN AGAIN. THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER THEIR RECALL. I WROTE THE BBB BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CAR JUST TURNED 6 YRS OLD. I'M THE ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW.

PREVIOUSLY HAD DEALER REPAIR COOLANT LEAK HOSES IN FIREWALL BUT NOT LISTED IN RECALL AS WAS FOCUS/FUSION. TOOK A WEEK TO COMPLETE. ENGINE JUST HAD A HIGH TEMP FRIDAY THE 13TH WHILE DRIVING TWO MILES ON A STRETCH AND STALLED OUT. TURNED OFF CLIMATE SYSTEM AND DROVE TO DEALER THE NEXT MORNING.

THE ENGINE STALLS AT INTERSECTIONS. I'VE NOTICED IT'S WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW (40 MILES OR FEWER TO EMPTY)

THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING FOR MANY TIMES. THE KINGS FORD DEALER COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE IT NUMEROUS TIMES. IT WILL START BACK ONCE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT HAS STALLED IN ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE IT'S NOT THROWING IN CODES.

A SMALL COOLANT RETURN LINE ON BACKSIDE OF MOTOR WAS MIS-CRIMPED CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE AND COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO MOTOR WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLING ME COOLANT WAS LOW. CAR SHUT DOWN DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURE, AND MOTOR STARTED SMOKING FROM COOLANT LEAKING ON HOT MOTOR. LUCKILY I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD SAFELY. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WASN'T AFFECTED BY PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR SAME PROBLEM AND WERE VERY RUDE ABOUT IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND LUCKILY THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS DEFECT. AGAIN THERE WAS NEVER AN INDICATION OF LOW COOLANT, JUST A SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURE RIGHT BEFORE CAR SHUT DOWN. *TR

THE PAST MONTH THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES 15 TO 30 SECONDS AFTER STARTING, IN STATIONARY POSITION OTHER TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING COOLANT, BUT THE ORIGIN OF THE LEAK COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. GURLEY LEEP FORD (320 E IRELAND RD, SOUTH BEND, IN 46614) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES VIA PHONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,402.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER, STALL OUT AND DIE! AFTER COASTING OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND WANTING A FEW MINUTES, I WOULD THEN TURNING THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WOULD START BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL AND OIL, BATTERY CONNECTION ARE TIGHT AND CLEAN.

ENGINE COOLANT SENSOR IS BAD, CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK AND CAR TO OVERHEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT ADDED ANTIFREEZE AND NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE PULL OVER SAFELY MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOE MACHENS FORD (1911 W WORLEY ST, COLUMBIA, MO 65203) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE CAR STALLS OUT FROM A STANDING STOP RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, YET NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER COMES ON. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED JUST AS I'M PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS RANDOMLY BEEN HAPPENING IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS THEN LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO...

THE CAR STALLS WHEN STARTING AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ESCAPES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND WHITE SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ADDED COOLANT. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT THEN BEGAN SMOKING AGAIN. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED A LINE BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND THE ENGINE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHSIDE FORD (12300 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

VEHICLE REPEATEDLY STALLS AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL START AND THEN I BEGIN DRIVING AND IT WILL SHUTTER, LOSE ACCELERATION ABILITY, AND STALL OUT. THEN I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT AND RESTART. SOMETIMES IT STARTS AFTER A LITTLE DELAY JUST FINE, AND OTHER TIMES I HAD HAPPENED BACK TO BACK TWO TO THREE TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN. I ALSO HAD COOLANT LEAK OCCUR. JUST GOT ENGINE HOSES, SENSORS, A NEW FUEL PUMP IN HOPES OF FIXING THE COOLANT LEAK AND THE STALLING. TOO SOON TO TELL IF THE COOLANT PROBLEM IS GONE, BUT STALLING IS STILL OCCURRING! FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

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...

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS, WITH ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING, OR SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME, CAUSING THEM TO HAVE TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND STOP AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK THEM A DAY AND A HALF TO DIAGNOSE THAT IT WAS AN EVAPORATIVE PURGE VALVE THAT WAS STICKING OPEN. THE REPAIR COST CAME TO $629.97, PLUS $68.86 FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE VEHICLE RAN FOR ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT IS NOW STALLING AGAIN WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ( US 82 IN TEXAS), THERE WERE FLAMES SEEN COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. A SEPARATE VEHICLE PULLED UP BESIDE OUR 2013 FORD ESCAPE, AND YELLED THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. MY SON QUICKLY PULLED OVER, AND HE AND HIS MOTHER QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND BACKED AWAY FROM IT. A FIRE TRUCK CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY WIFE WAS ALSO TREATED FOR SMOKE INHALATION ON SITE, AND LATER HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS BREATHING. I HAVE CHECKED THE VIN ON OUR VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON OUR VIN. AFTER RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER FIRE ISSUES WITH OTHER VINS. I BELIEVE OUR SITUATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT, BECAUSE THE RECALL MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED. WE ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC TO HAVE SEVERAL RECALLS FIXED INCLUDING THE "13S12 RISK OF LOCALIZED OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD THAT MAY LEAD TO OIL LEAK FIRES" IN JANUARY 2018. IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHERN PINES, NC DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WHILE THE VEHICLE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 10 FEET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY LOW ON COOLANT AND WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS ISSUES THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE FIXED. AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019 THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP ON FORT BRAGG. WHILE LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE THE REPAIR SHOP NOTED TWO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE, ONE PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. WHEN I CALLED THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE...

THERE IS A RECALL ON ENGINES OVER HEATING, HOWEVER I HAVE CHECKED MINE WITH 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY BOTH SAY THAT THEY CANT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND THAT MY ESCAPE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE CORRECT BECAUSE IT OVER HEATS, ITS NOT LEAKING, NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. IVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS. TIPTON FORD IN NACOGDOCHES, TX AND AL MYER FORD IN LUFKIN, TX. BOTH COMPANIES HAVE HAD MY SUV FOR 1 WEEK AT A TIME AND STILL CANT TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS RECALL HAS TO DO WITH MY SUV?

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLS OUT AT LOW IDLE, EITHER WHEN STATIONARY OR ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE UP HILL IN FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT INTO STREET. THIS IS NOT TRIGGERING AN ERROR CODE AND SEVERAL MECHANICS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2013 FORD ESCAPES.
