2013 FORD ESCAPE Engine Problems

EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V813000. FORD KEEPS LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN LIVE TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. ENGINE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING. THE MAP SENSOR FINALLY THREW A CODE P0106 AND AFTER REPLACEMENT IT RAN FINE FOR A DAY AND STALLED AGAIN WHICH POINTS TO THE HARNESS. THE INCIDENTS WHERE IT ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH WHERE WHEN I WAS ON I75 AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN, I PRESSED THE BREAKS AND MY CAR LOST COMPLETE ENGINE POWER WHICH WAS VERY SCARY.

1. MIS-FIRING CAUSING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO ROCK, SEEN MAINLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS IN GEAR WITH THE BREAK ENGAGED AT A STOP SIGNAL. 2. SUDDEN OVER-REVVING SEEN ON THE TACHOMETER. 3. THE OVER-REVVING USUALLY PRECEDES THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE SPIKING INTO THE CRITICAL AREA. THIS IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN ON INCLINES. PULLING OVER, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE ALLOWING IT TO COOL DOWN FOR 10-15 MINUTES, THEN EVERYTHING IS FINE. I HAVE LEARNED TO WATCH FOR THE OVER-REVVING, THEN APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP THE OVER-REVVING. THEN HAS ALLOWED ME TO KEEP THE OVER-HEATING IN CHECK.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY CAR IT BEGAN TO HAVE COOLING ISSUES. MY CAR IS CONTINUOUSLY OVERHEATING AND NEEDING COOLANT. AS I AM DRIVING THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT/ DISPLAY WILL COME ON AND THEN MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN THEN STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS THE CITY STREETS. I ADD COOLANT TO MY CAR AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK AND THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WHEN I AM PARKED MY CAR IS FINE BUT AS I AM DRIVING IT GETS REALLY DANGEROUS. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE PERSON BEHIND ME WOULD HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS OR SWERVE TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT IS A TRUE MIRACLE I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND SHE IS TERRIFIED TO BE IN MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS AN OVERALL PROBLEM...

PURCHASED A 2013 FORD ESCAPE TURBO FROM WICKENBURG JONES FORD IN WICKENBURG AZ. VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME. UNFORTUNATELY THE FIRE PUT ITSELF OUT (WISH IT HADN'T B/C THEN MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TOTALED IT). BUT IT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE BEFORE IT WENT OUT. OIL LEAK OCCURRED FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD OR VALVE COVER GASKET DUE TO OVERHEATING AND ENGINE OIL IGNITED ON THE ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM STARTING THE FIRE. THIS ALL OCCURRED ON THE SIDE OF US 60 AS MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER AS SOON AS HE REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. VEHICLE NOW NEEDS A NEW ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAZARETH FORD (4067 JANDY BLVD, NAZARETH, PA 18064, 866-601-7744) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 122,000.

I HAVE DRIVEN THIS 2013 ESCAPE FOR 2.5 YEARS. WE HAVE 34,838 MILES ON IT. IN THE PAST YEAR THE FOLLOWING ISSUES HAVE ARISEN. 1) HEAT SENSOR HAS GONE BAD, WARNING LIGHTS AND BELLS SIGNALING A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AS THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. CAR WILL NOT START. REPLACED TWICE IN 8 MONTHS. 2) LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE - LATCH ISSUE AS STATED IN NHTSA RECALL 16V643. 3) IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, THE CAR WILL STALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NOT OVERHEATING. COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS SHOW NO PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, RESIDENTIAL DRIVING WITH FREQUENT STOP SIGNS, PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IN PARKING LOTS, A SHORT TRIP USUALLY DOES NOT PRODUCE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IF WE ARE RUNNING ERRANDS AND MAKE MORE THAN ONE (1) STOP, WE WILL DEFINATELY EXPERIENCE THE STALL DURING THE DRIVE HOME. CAR WILL COAST TO A STOP, NO INDICATION FROM...

VEHICLE STARTED TO CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO PREVIOUSLY SERVICED RECALL THAT WASN'T DONE CORRECTLY . DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CAR STARTED MAKING CRAZY NOISE AND SMOKING BAD . THERE WAS COOLANT IN IT AND IT WAS NOT LEAKING. VEHICLE STARTS ALERTING ' PULL OVER SAFELY CAR OVERHEATING ' DURING ROUTINE DRIVES EVEN WHEN COOLANT IS FULL . THIS TIME IT WAS PRACTICALLY ON FIRE . CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE AND FORD WILL NOT HELP US . THEY SAY BECAUSE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED THEY AREN'T UNABLE TO ASSIST ANY FURTHER . NOW WE ARE OUT OF A VEHICLE AND FORD IS REFUSING ANY RESPONSIBILITY .

ENGINE HESITATES, STUMBLES, OR LOSES POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ILLUMINATED. HAVE REPLACED ECOBOOST SENSOR AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

I BOUGHT A USED 2013 FORD ESCAPE FROM DEALERSHIP ON 3/9/17. CAR HAD 1 PREVIOUS OWNER AND 29265 MILES ON IT. BY 4/20/17 THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHILE STATIONARY WITH NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT IMMEDIATELY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AFTER GETTING IT TOWED BY AAA WHOM ALSO TESTED THE STARTER AND BATTERY EVERYTHING WAS READING NORMAL . THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN. AND THE DALERSHIP COUKD FIND TGE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT CVS AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND AAA, AFTER WAITING 45 MINUTES FOR AAA TO ARRIVE I TRY STARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO AVAIL UNTIL I SEE AAA PULLING INTO THE CVS PARKING LOT I TESTED TURNED THE KEY 1 MORE...

BUSHING CABLE DETACHED FROM THE SHIFTER CABLE DURING DRIVING IN CLUTCHLESS AUTOMATIC MODE, LEAVING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND UNABLE TO CHANGE GEARS OR PARK. ROLLED INTO A PARKING LOT (BY GOD'S GRACE). WAITED 2 HOURS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HELD BUT SINCE I WAS ON A HILL WAS WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND ME. TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. RESEARCHED THE ALREADY STATED SAFETY RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT UNLESS IT IS AT MY OWN EXPENSE OF ALMOST $1000. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V471.

COOLANT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, ABOUT EVERY OTHER MONTH OR SO. SEVERAL DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS REVEALED NOTHING, NO LEAKS, NO DAMAGE. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 3 DAYS AGO DUE TO POTENTIAL OVERHEAT. DEALER SAYS ENGINE IS NOW DAMAGED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO IT OVER TIME AND MUST BE REPLACED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE 5 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BY A FEW MONTHS. NO HELP FROM THEM OR THE DEALER. THIS WAS A FULL ON SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING, AND WE NEVER KNEW IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS FLAMES APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. **TR *TR

VEHICLE WAS JUST STARTED AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT AND IT HAD A VERY ROUGH IDLE WITH WHITE SMOKE AND THE SMELL OF COOLANT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE OUT AND STALL. IT HAS BEEN DRAINING COOLANT LIKE IT'S ITS ADDICTION. THE CODES FOR THE CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE AND THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR/OVERHEATING CONDITION ARE DETECTED AND PERMANENT. WHILE DRIVING IT HAS OVERHEATED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST MONTH. SPARK PLUGS AND COILS PACKS ARE BRAND NEW. SPARK PLUG #3 CROSS THREADED FROM FACTORY, IT TOOK 4 DAYS TO CHANGE IT.

I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 YEARS AND 5 TIMES NOW IT HAS LOST ENGINE COOLANT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE MEETS ALL CRITERIA TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE WATER PUMP, PRESSURE TESTED, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND REPLACED THE HEATER HOSE. AT THIS POINT, IT IS STILL LOSING FLUID AND THE DEALER STATES THAT IF I WANT THE WORK DONE THAT THE RECALL RECOMMENDS, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3/2/17 AND THIS STARTED 5/16/17,.

MY VEHICLE WAS GOING 45 MPH IN MOTION DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ABOUT 4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR FLASHED THE "ENGINE OVERHEATING" SIGNED AND WITHIN 5 SECONDS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND STALL IN LIMP MODE. THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY, AND WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE HIGHWAYS EVERY WHERE THAT TAKE ME WHERE I NEED TO BE. TOOK TO FORD DEALER A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD, AND THEY TESTED IT FOR EVERYTHING AND THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH NO WORK DONE, JUST CONDUCTED A ROAD TEST AFTER RESETTING THE CODES AND LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. ABOUT 15 MILES LATER, THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN ON THE SAME HIGHWAY, GOING 45, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN. TOOK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RAY VARNER FORD (2026 N CHARLES G SEIVERS BLVD, CLINTON, TN 37716, (865) 457-0704), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,600.

THE ENGINE IS STALLING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, AND IS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND STILL IS UNABLE TO SWITCH GEARS WITHOUT CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL, AS IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE TESTS ARE NOT SUPPORTING THAT IT IS BEING CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 48K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED STEAM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL OFF. AFTERWARDS, THE STEAM WAS NO LONGER PRESENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COOLANT WAS DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST, WHICH CAUSED THE STEAM. AS A RESULT, THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,992.

OCCASIONALLY WHEN LEAVING PARKING LOTS, MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT AND STALL CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. USUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AND OPERATE COMPLETELY FINE AFTER THAT, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER TO START UP. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO BE OK. THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS OR WHEN PULLING OUT OF A STATIONERY SPACE AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE TIME MAKING THE ISSUE HARD TO RECREATE.

THE COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKED ON THE TURBO CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND I HAD TO PAY 1400 IN REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V551000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (JIM BURKE FORD AUTOMALL, 5300 GASOLINE ALLEY DR SUITE B, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93313) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING VALVE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,069.

WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND THE THROTTLE DID NOT WORK. I PULLED OFF, SHUT THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT THEN RAN OK. THE SAME THING HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES - AS IF THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK. I SAW ON INTERNET THAT ESCAPES HAS A HISTORY OF THROTTLE PROBLEMS, INCLUDING MY YEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN COLUMBIA MO AND THEY SAID , BASED ON THE VIN #, THAT MY CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT AFFECTED BY THIS THROTTLE ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING BUT CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS IS WRONG. I COULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN BUT FORD TAKES NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FOX TOYOTA OF CADILLAC, 1490 N MITCHELL ST, CADILLAC, MI 49601, (231)-779-1784) WHERE SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE COMPLETED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,825.

THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW (2) SEPARATE TIMES A MONTH APART. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70-75 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER AND TELL ME TO PULL OVER. I AM NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WILL SPIKE TO HOT. THIS ALL HAPPENS IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WITH LITTLE OR NO TIME TO REACT AND PULL VEHICLE TO A SAFE SPOT. THERE HAS BEEN RADIATOR FLUID POURING OVER THE ENGINE ON BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS NOW COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ESCAPE IN GENERAL AND NOT WITH JUST MINE.

THE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE WAS REPLACED IN 2014 AS PART OF A RECALL. IN JULY 2018 THE CAR OVERHEATED AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S THE BYPASS VALVE AGAIN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

CONTINUAL LOSS OF COOLANT. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE REASON FOR COOLANT LOSS. NO NOTICEABLE EVIDENCE OF LOSS SUCH AS DRIPS OR POOLS OF COOLANT. NO EXPERIENCE OF STALLING OR OVERHEATING AS LONG AS I REPLACE LOST COOLANT ONCE IT REACHES "ADD COOLANT" LEVEL, WHICH OCCURS ABOUT EVERY 4-6 MONTHS. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AS MY COOLANT WAS "TOPPED OFF" WITH EVERY OIL CHANGE EVERY 6 MONTHS. SINCE I NO LONGER DRIVE MANY MILES I DO NOT CHANGE OIL EVERY 6 MONTHS AND STARTED NOTICING THE LOW COOLANT LEVELS MYSELF IN JUNE 2017 AND HAVE BEEN ADDING COOLANT MYSELF SINCE THEN.

I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN IN MY SUBDIVISION, AND MY CAR STALLED OUT. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BATTERY SO I TRIED TO RESTART, BUT IT FAILED. I SMELLED GAS SO I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND STARTED SEEING SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE SMOKE GOT WORSE QUICKLY AND CAUGHT FIRE WITHIN 2 MINUTES. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES SHORTLY AFTER, FOR ROUGHLY FIVE MINUTES, AND IT WAS EVENTUALLY TOTALED.

CAR READS THAT IT IS OVERHEATING BUT IT IS NOT. CAR CAN BE MOVING STATIONARY OR ANYWHERE AND IT JUST KICKS ON THAT IT IS OVERHEATING WHEN IT IS NOT

AROUND 10 MONTHS AGO WE PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR OVERHEATED. $750 LATER WE KNOW IT THE ENGINE IS CRACKED. STILL OWE LIKE $9,000 ON IT... THIS CAR HAD ALL OIL CHANGES AND EVERYTHING HAS NEEDED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED ONE STATEMENT. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE RECALLS LISTED BELOW WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EXACT KIND OF PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. WHEN STARTED IT DOESN'T TAKE OFF AND GET UP TO SPEED WITHOUT HESITATION AND STALLING. AND WHEN I DO GET UP TO SPEED IT LOSES POWER AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. THE CODES THAT HAVE BEEN COMING UP. AND THE CHECK ENGINE SUGGESTIONS. HAVE BEEN TESTED BY FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS NONE OF WHICH COULD FALL FIND A PROBLEM TILL RECENTLY. AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE TURBO BOOST CODE IS BEEN CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING WHICH IS HAPPENED TO BE TOTALLY REPLACED. AS PER MY OTHER STATEMENT I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED TOMORROW BUT NOT BEING REIMBURSED. AND IF OTHER...

ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND SENSOR PROBLEMS IN 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH 2.0 LITER ENGINE THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL.
