THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IN VEHICLE. COOLANT BYPASS VALVE IS STATED AS NOT WORKING. ARE WE ABLE TO FIND OUT IF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN DUE TO RECALL FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS.

I HAD GOTTEN INTO MY VEHICLE AND AFTER TURNING IT ON I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. MY VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATING THAT I NEED TO REFILL THE COOLANT. I JUST PARKED IT AND THE NEXT DAY WE HAD FILLED THE COOLANT AGAIN TAKEN IT TO GET THE ERROR CODES CHECKED AND WERE INFORMED WE NEED TO GET A NEW THERMOSTAT. WHEN TAKING IT TO THE MECHANICS THEY HAD TRIED EVERYTHING FROM CHECKING CODES TO DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE CODES. THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD, HOWEVER WHEN CONTACTING FORD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THERE IS A...

I WAS DRIVING AND AS I WAS APPROACHING THE RED LIGHT MY CAR STALLED. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON THREE TIMES UNTIL I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY SHOULD IT STALL WHEN IM DRIVING. I HAVE A 1.6L BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL 14S17, SHOULD THAT BE THE ISSUE. THE SYMPTOMS SEEM TO MATCH, AND THE ISSUE IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE JULY 2015 AND FOR THE YEAR I HAD IT I WAS FAIRLY PLEASED. I HAD HEARD THE HORROR STORIES ABOUT THESE CARS CATCHING FIRE AND WAS AWARE OF THE RECALLS. I HAD BEEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BACK IN JUNE FOR A TUNE-UP AND ASSURED ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE ON THE VEHICLE, I HAD BOUGHT IT USED BUT FORD WAS ABLE TO SEARCH THE INFORMATION FROM THE VIN, OR SO THEY SAID. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, ON THE I-5 NORTH FAST LANE, WHEN THE CAR HAD A WARNING LIGHT SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT MY 4WHEEL DRIVE. THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH AND SMOKE BEGAN TO COME UP FROM RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER, THANKFULLY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, I COULD SEE THE SMOKE REPLACED WITH...

THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN STALLING. IT SEEMS TO STALL WHEN SLOWING FOR A TURN OR AN INTERSECTION. I SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR SOME ESCAPES WITH THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. WHY WERE NOT ALL ESCAPES RECALLED FOR THIS CONDITION?

THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOOSE POWER. IT WOULD STALL OUT SOON AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE. I THOUGHT PERHAPS I WAS ACCELERATING TOO SOON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I WOULD START THE CAR THEN WAIT A FEW SECONDS. THE CAR STILL STALLED WHILE IN MOTION. SEVERAL TIMES I HAD TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART THE CAR. I'M LUCKY NO ONE WAS CLOSE BEHIND ME.

INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (HAPPENS WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN DRIVING). HOOKED UP TO CODE READER AND GOT P026B7; FOUND ONLINE THAT THE THE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, BUT NOT RECALLED (TSB 13-02-15). DEALER CONFIRMS CODE AND THAT ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BUT REFERENCED TSB 16-0052. DESPITE THE PART BEING SO DEFECTIVE IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED, REDESIGNED, AND REPLACED THE DEALER CLAIMS IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER ANY FORM OF WARRANTY.

SINCE JANUARY 18, MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY TIME WHILE DRIVING, HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SIX TIMES, NOT FIXED, ALWAYS UNABLE TO REPLICATE. IT HAS NOW BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK, TRYING TO REPLICATE THE STALLING. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, ON SIDE STREETS, AND TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY. NO ENGINE LIGHTS GO ON, IT JUST STALLS. THE RADIATOR, THE MAP SENSOR AND NOW THE BATTERY HAVE BEEN REPLACED, STILL NO FIX. THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALL IN 2014 AFTER OVERHEATING AND COOLANT LEAKS.

ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW ERRORS AGAIN. OCCURRED WITHIN 1/2 BLOCK OF LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY, CAR STUMBLES AND BECOMES DIFFICULT/DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND TRIED IT AGAIN SEVERAL HOURS LATER WITH NO ERROR. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED IN 2013 WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, IT TOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO IDENTIFY THAT SOME WIRING SPLICE/HEAT SHIELD WAS FAILING AS NO ERROR CODE WAS CAPTURED. FORD EVENTUALLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THAT AND IT HAS BEHAVED UNTIL NOW. THE DEALER HAS ADVISED NO ERROR CODE WAS CAPTURED AGAIN THIS TIME. THEY ADVISE ALL THEY CAN DO IS KEEP THE CAR AND START IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY TRYING TO CATCH IT FAILING IN ORDER TO CAPTURE THE CODE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY'VE DESIGNED A SYSTEM THAT CANNOT CAPTURE ITS OWN ERROR CODES BUT OBVIOUSLY HAVE HERE. WE LEARNED TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE SCREEN WHEN IT...

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED TO STALL AND NOT DRIVE. IT STARTED TO SKIP AND AT AS IF IT WAS NOT GOING TO GO WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED IT STARTED TO ACT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF IN THE STREET. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS MY ENGINE WIRING SYSTEM. COST 500 DOLLARS TO FIX.

SINCE AUGUST 2015-APRIL 14, 2016 I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES DUE TO REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER/ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING. MY FORD WAS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND SERVICED IN AUG 2015. IN JANUARY 2016 AND TWICE IN APRIL 2016 I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH ENGINE REDUCTION/VEHICLE HEATING GAUGE IDLE ON HOT/THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND RIDES EXTREMELY HARD UNTIL YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS I HAD TO TRY AND CROSS A LANE OF PASSING VEHICLES TO DO SO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FORD HAS ADEQUATELY FOUND A FIX FOR THIS HUGE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT KNOW IF A CONSUMER HAS TO BE KILLED FIRST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT...

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 7 MINUTES AFTER I STARTED IT, THE CAR OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE TURN ON A CAR AFTER A LITTLE WHILE IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED EXACTLY ON MARCH 16 AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE HAD REPLACED THE COOLANT STAND PIPE STANDPIPE. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH VIN YET IT IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS.

RECALL 14S17 SPECIFIED THAT A FAULTING WIRING HARNESS FOR THE MAP SENSOR COULD BE REPAIRED BY SPLICING THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAD THIS RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2014, BUT SINCE THEN THE SYMPTOMS WHICH LED TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL PERSISTED. MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET, OR FAILED TO RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUTS WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. SINCE THEN, FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ADVISING FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME WIRING HARNESS (NOT JUST A SPLICE). THIS IS PERFORMED AT MY COST, NOT FMC'S. FULL REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL, AND A SECOND RECALL OR REVISION SHOULD BE ISSUED TO FORCE FORD TO PROVIDE A FULL SOLUTION RATHER THAN A HALF-MEASURE.

MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, LIKE A PARKING LOT, AT A STOP SIGN. IT HAS DONE IT NOW 4 TIMES IN 2016. THE ENGINE JUST LOSES POWER AND STALLS. THE RED OIL LAMP AND BATTERY LAMP COME ON. NO SYSTEM CHECK MESSAGES SHOW. IT WILL START SOMETIMES AND STALL AGAIN IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES IT STARTS AND THEN IS OK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. THE FORD DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY CHECKED IT RIGHT AFTER AN INCIDENT. OFFERED TO DRIVE IT TILL THEY FIND THE PROBLEM AND GIVE ME LOANER TILL THEN. ???

WHILE DESCENDING A HILL, THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP TO 4000 RPMS AND BACK TO NORMAL, TACHOMETER WAS ALSO SHOWING REVS, MY WIFE HAD TO HOLD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE DURING THIS TIME. SHE STOPPED THE CAR AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND CAR HAD NO FURTHER INCIDENTS.
