2013 FORD ESCAPE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

My 2013 Ford Escape, bought in September 2022 with a new engine, has been problematic. It initially worked well but lost transmission power less than a year later. I managed to drive it home, but it hasn't worked since. Two repair shops confirmed a needed new transmission, costing $6,000, and found metal shavings in the fluid. There were no warning signs before the failure. Before the transmission issue, the car needed repairs for a significant oil leak. I haven't driven it for two years due to high repair costs, yet I pay $500 monthly, causing financial strain. The dealership advised against a warranty, saying the new engine's warranty would cover issues for three years. I declined the warranty, but when the transmission failed, the dealership refused coverage, reflecting poorly on their practices. Similar complaints from other owners suggest a systemic issue, possibly warranting a recall. The lack of warning signs...

While driving the engine seems to "go out" which is a risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists near by because it is not expected and can happen anywhere (two lane road, major highway, while turning, etc.). You are able to press the gas and hear the engine but the car does not move - it acts as if it were in neutral. There are no safety or warning lights on the dashboard before or during this issue meaning that there is no way for the driver to prepare. There have been times where I was able to pull off the road and restart the car to temporarily remedy the issue but safe and accessible pull offs are not always available (bride, two lane road,etc). I travel with small children and there is a fear that if this continues to happen it can result in fatal consequences. In addition...

I have had car a month bought used and saw the recall for the transmission shifter bushing which I had done today at the Ford place . But it didn't fix the shifting problem .so took had hooked up to a machine to tell me it's the transmission solenoid b that's inside the trans mission and not covered by the recall which is insane because it's the main reason these cars are having this problem so now I can't get it fixed have had car a month and will be parking it as junk because Ford can't fix under the recall. This needs to be changed this is the main culprit not the bushings.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated that immediately after driving into a parking space and stopping, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and drove forward over a median curb before crashing into another parked vehicle. During the incident, no injuries were reported and no police report was filed. The vehicle was driven to the home and later towed to the collision center for body repairs to be performed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 33,437.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle sputtered. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

- Valve cover needs to be replaced - Spark plugs needs to be replaced - Power reduced message pops up probably from spark plugs - Says transmission fault probably from valve cover leaking transmission fluid - Left rear speed sensor - Turbo charger/super charger underboost - invalid data received from steering angle sensor module message popped up

Well I went to start my car after getting gas and it would not start after a few mins it started , but it was trying to lunge forward even though it was in park , after I finally got it going went home and the whole time I smelled gas in my car ? Then I pulled in my driveway and the check engine light was on , had my brother in law do a digital scan on my car and it had PO456 evaporated emissions leak, I don't understand why , I'm scared to drive it now because I don't want to have the cab fill up with gas smell in my car and it's bad for me and my kids

When coming to a stop the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated making it very difficult to stop. I had to put the vehicle in neutral and turn off the engine. When I restarted the vehicle, the problem no longer existed and has not happened since but this problem could easily cause an accident, resulting in one or more injuries. Have not had the vehicle inspected and likely won't, unless it happens again.

I picked my car up tonight from Haley’s in FarmVille va they fixed my door latches due to recall on latches. I told Them prior to dropping it off that the ABS light and traction control light and engine coolant light keeps coming on. When I pulled out the parking lot I almost got rear ended because the car didn’t want to go it was moving so slow I had to slowly make myself across the road into kfc parking lot without getting hit. Haley refuses to fix these problems bc the light automatically goes off on its own and they say it’s got to physically be on for them to fix it through recall but it keeps coming on whenever I have the car In my possession and it’s very dangerous

We have had to replace vacuum pump 4xs ,had multiple engine repairs done, turbo replaced ,jumped time 3xs, replace ABS sensor 2xs, wheel bearings 2xs, CV axels 2xs, since day 1 has been blowing lights in turn signals and brake lights, wiring issue, have replaced control arms,tie rods,tie rod ends, and so much more, have had transmissions since day one, needs evap system repaired again, transmission replaced a second time, having power reductions, and this vechiile has costed us over 12,000, Have been informed of 2 recalls Time frame 12/2015 to current date.

While merging onto the highway, I got into the right lane. While in motion my car stalled and went from 70 mph to 40 mph almost instantly. There have been many other times of engine stalling that has made me fear to drive this vehicle with my child. I noticed that " engine stalling" and the engine in general have been a common issue specific year make and model while researching this vehicles history. There have also been many major repairs and more needed repairs that will cost more than the vehicles worth. The turbo was recently repaired , water bypass valve , valve cover, spark plugs. With more repairs to be made due to fluids still leaking , and a certified mechanic noting that the catalytic converter will need to be replaced. The repairs done and the repairs needed will greatly cost more than the vehicles worth. I'm asking...

Car falsely indicates overheating and goes into “limp mode” not allowing me to accelerate even while driving. Has occurred on freeway, while parked, in intersections, and has posed a threat to my safety over a hundred times. Been yelled at by other drivers and almost hit countless times because I’ve been unable to accelerate whilst trying to pull over safely. “Hill start assist not available” appears and then “engine fault service now” accompanied by the speedometer going to 0mph (even while driving) as well as the RPM’s going to 0. Lastly, “high engine temperature” appears and car starts shaking and lurching and the engine gets extremely loud until I’m able to turn it off. Sometimes turns back on right away, sometimes I’m stuck in car on side of road/freeway for minutes-hours. Been to 2 Ford dealerships as well as many mechanics and have been told it’s fixed several times and...

While driving my vehicle is slowing down losing power it doesn't want to stay started while at a light Will hesitate to stay started and will just cut off. And hesitate to restart this is not the first time that this has happened ethier.

Case Number: CAS-34813627-B3B3D7 On January 2nd, 2022, without warning my ABS and traction control lights went on, my speedometer fell to zero, and all of the digits usually shown (MPG, miles to empty, amount of time driven, and miles driven) were replaced by dashes. After about 10 - 15 seconds, the information came back, the speedometer worked, and the dash warning lights went off. This has occurred multiple times a day since Jan 2 while I drive my car. The Ford website described a recall that fit the description of the issues I have been having and, according to my VIN, I was eligible to get the system serviced. I took my car in to Wade Ford in Atlanta, GA on January 5, 2022. A diagnostic test reported code PC0031, but only codes P1934 and P062C are considered eligible. I called Ford and opened a case (see Line 1). After...

SHUDDERING SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT AS A USED CAR NOW DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ,HARD TO STOP ENGINE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS IN A FRIGHTENING MANNER. NOW SO BAD AT IDLE IN PARK, PUT TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND THE CAR TRIES TO TAKE OFF AND IS DIFFICULT TO HOLD BACK WITH THE BRAKES

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.

CAR CUTS OFF WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A WARM START (CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN WITH NO PROBLEMS, SITS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THEN IS RESTARTED). CAR STARTS EASILY, IS DRIVEN OUT OF A PARKING LOT, BRAKES ARE APPLIED BEFORE PROCEEDING TURNING ON MAIN ROAD, CAR ENGINE CUTS OFF. THIS IS THE SCENARIO EACH TIME. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN BUT IT IS A CONSTANT SAFETY ISSUE. ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE SURE NO TRAFFIC IS COMING WITHER WAY BECAUSE CAR HAS TO BE PLACED IN PARK TO RESTART. CAR SHOWS NO CODES WHEN PLACED ON COMPUTER. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS RECALL OR PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SO IMPOSSIBLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO DEALER. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE BUT NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE, JUST MANY SUGGESTIONS. SO RESOLUTION IS UNKNOWN.

I JUST CAME OUT OF A STATE INSPECTION A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. NOW, IF I HAD ONE FORD I WOULD NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, BUT I HAVE MORE THAN ONE AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. NOW, AT TIMES WHERE THERE'S A RECALL, BUT WHEN THEY HAVE OTHER ITEMS THAT GET FIXED WITHOUT A RECALL, WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT THAT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THIS CAR, BUT MY FORD FOCUS, AND IT HAPPENS AFTER A CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE LATELY DURING THE VIRUS WORST FOR SOME REASON. THIS IS A DANGER AND COULD KILL SOMEONE ON A FREEWAY. AS WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ON A RECALL BEFORE. FROM THE DOORS OPENING ON THE FREEWAY TO THIS MESS. FORD NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AT A HIGHER LEVEL. I DO KNOW MY...

STARTING IN MAY OF 2020 MY FORD ESCAPE STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AS WELL AS THE EXPRESSWAY IT HESITATES IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE THE MOMENT YOU TAP THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR STARTS TO SPUTTER AND THEN COMPLETELY STALLS OUT AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF WHEREVER YOU ARE THE STREET PARKING LOT IT DOESN'T MATTER IT ALSO HAS DONE THIS BACK-TO-BACK MULTIPLE TIMES OCCURRING MAYBE FOUR TO SIX TIMES IN A ROW BARELY ALLOWING ME TO MAKE IT FROM ONE DESTINATION TO THE OTHER. THE ESCAPE ALSO OVERHEATED REPLACED THE COOLANT SENSOR REPLACED THE FUEL REGULATOR AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME EXACT THING. IT JUST DECREASED THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THAT IT WOULD DO IT IN A ROW SO NOW IT DOES IT TO THREE TIMES. IT ALSO STALLS OUT AND DIES WHILE IT STOPLIGHTS MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AS YOU'RE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION COMING...

MY SUV HAS SUDDENLY LOSS ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE, STOP SIGN AND OUT OF A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL SPUTTER LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS AND TWO TIMES HAS COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE SMASHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO NO AVAIL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SUV DIDN'T SPEED UP NOR START TO EVEN MOVE FAST. IT WOULD SLOWLY JERK ONTO THE ROAD, AND AS I SAID TWICE HAS CUT OFF ANOTHER TIME IT DID FINALLY GET GAS AND GO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT NO CODES SHOWED UP ON THE MACHINE THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SUV. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, BESIDES ME BEING NERVOUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT GETTING HIT BECAUSE THE SUV WON'T ACCELERATE DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS ALSO CUT OFF WHILE SITTING IN...

MY SISTER HAS BEEN USING MY VEHICLE TO TAKE ME TO MY APPOINTMENTS HERE ARE HER WORDS DESCRIBING HER EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE SE ECOBOOST: 'THIS SUV HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE. THERE ARE MAJOR DELAYS WHEN GAS PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED (SOMETIMES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR) WITH VERY HIGH RPM'S WHILE IN MOTION HESITATION IS SPECIFICALLY TRUE WHEN TRAVELING UPHILL WILL STAY SAME SPEED UNTIL YOU'RE NO LONGER ON AN INCLINE & ACCELERATION WILL INCREASE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS SLOWLY BEING RELEASED THEN NEEDS TO BE PUSHED DOWN NORMAL FORCE TO KEEP AT THE SPEED CONSISTENTLY. WAS ON HIGHWAY DOING 65 SLOWED DOWN I TAKE EXIT HAD TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER MAJOR HIGHWAY & HAD GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE DOING 45 GOT TO 50 & IT NEARLY GOT ME KILLED WHEN A 18 WHEELER CAME UP BEHIND ME I'M ASSUMING...

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE RPMS GO WAY DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS THE GAS, I CAN NOT GET CAR TO GO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED AIR COOLANT PARTS, AIR FILTER, AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS. CAR CONTINUES TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. FORD DEALERSHIP I TALKED WITH SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON SUCH A THING. THEY DID OFFER TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT WHY? NOTHING CAME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS TEST WITH OTHER GARAGE. FORD COMPANY- THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AS THE CAR DID THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MAYBE THE ANTIFREEZE LEAKING, THIS LIMP MODE, AND OTHERS HAVING THEIR CARS STALL COMPLETELY IS ALL ONE PROBLEM?? I'M HOPING...

THE COOLANT IS LEAKING. IT REQUIRES ME TO FILL IT UP MULTIPLE TIMES WEEKLY. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO GET THIS 'FIXED' AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO PERSIST. I CAN'T SEE WHERE IT IS LEAKING. IT DOES NOT END UP ON THE GROUND WHERE I PARK IT. MY COOLANT LEVEL LOW ALERT POPS UP WHEN I AM BOTH ACTIVELY DRIVING AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AT TIMES. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE CITY. THE ACCELERATOR SEEMS OFF. IT HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALSO BROUGHT THIS IN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. THEY REPLACED MY LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD BATTERY WITH A BRAND NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED EVEN AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AND CAN HAPPEN ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAYED SHOWED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE WAS TEMPORARY DISABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT CALLED LAKE VIEW FORD INC., (12381 CONNEAUT LAKE RD, CONNEAUT LAKE, PA 16316), AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH SIGNIFICANT HESITATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, COOLANT NEEDING REPLENISHMENT ON A REGULAR (EVERY 3-4 MONTHS) BASIS, VEHICLE STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN SPORADICALLY, VEHICLE OVERHEATING, DOORS RANDOMLY POPPING OPEN AND NEEDING TO BE HELD SHUT BY MY CHILDREN UNTIL I CAN SAFELY PULL OVER. MOST RECENTLY AND JUST THIS MORNING ON 6/18/20, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. THE DASHBOARD INDICATED THAT THERE ARE NOW TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I USED MY AAA MEMBERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO COLONIAL FORD IN PLYMOUTH, MA AFTER STANDING WITHIN FEET OF SPEEDING TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING. THE CAR POTENTIALLY LETHALLY JUST STOPPED. IT IS NOW BEING "DIAGNOSED" BY COLONIAL FORD. MUCH PREVIOUSLY, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO JANNELL FORD IN HANOVER, MA TO INQUIRE ABOUT THESE ISSUES WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS STILL REASONABLY LOW. THE SERVICE MANAGER OF THAT BRANCH LIED...

THE CAR KEEPS FLASHING ERROR CODES AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WILL WORK. THIS INCLUDES AIR AND INSIDE DASH LIGHTS SPEED CONTROL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR JUST LOST POWER. WE HAD JUST HIT THE TAIL END OF RUSH HOUR JUST SOUTH OF PORTLAND, OR (HEADING SOUTH TO A FUNERAL) SO TRAFFIC WAS FLOWING PRETTY GOOD BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR CRUISE CONTROL. I WAS GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STOP ACCELERATING AND STARTED COASTING. MY TACHOMETER WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE RED SINCE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS. I IMMEDIATELY HIT MY HAZARDS AND MERGED TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP. I NEVER HAD ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON SAYING THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK MY FLUIDS BUT WE FOUND A WAY TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS FINE, LET THE CAR REST THEN STARTED IT BACK UP. CAR WAS FINE AFTER THAT BUT WE STILL TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME TO WASHINGTON. DID...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RPMS WOULD RAPIDLY INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A COST ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR AND WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND GOES AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR FASTER. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING. THERE WAS A RECALL: 18S20 BUT WHEN I INQUIRED WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-436-7332 THEY STATED THE VIN TO MY CAR WAS NOT ON RECALL. REFERRED ME TO NHTSA OR A FORD DEALER DIRECTLY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE IS THE YEAR AND MODEL WHY MY CAR IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL

WHILE IN MOTION, THE RPM ARE REDUCED, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, TURNS OFF AND A "SYSTEM CHECK, SERVICE NOW" NOTICE APPEARS IN DASH BOARD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SAME ESCAPE BUT 2.5, WHILE THIS ONE IS 1.3. RIGHT NOW IT IS AT FORD DEALER FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR (SPECIFICALLY THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE SOLENOID) THAT WAS PART OF LAST FALL'S FOCUS RECALL. I HAD A PROBLEM LAST FALL WITH MY CAR WHINING, ROCKING WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SMELLING LIKE BURNED FUEL, AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT ENTIRELY. LAST YEAR THE CAR STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES INITIALLY WHILE STATIONARY, AND EVENTUALLY WHILE IN MOTION. EXPERIENCE WAS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AS IT WAS SPORADIC AND NOT CONSISTENT. WE REPLACED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE LAST YEAR WHICH RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS NOW FAILED AGAIN A YEAR LATER WHILE I WAS SITTING IN BUSY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY CAR STARTED WHINING AND ROCKING THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS A STOP, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES (BATTERY WOULD ENGAGE, ENGINE WOULD ATTEMPT TO...

I WAS DRIVING MY FAMILY FROM HOUSTON, TX TO SAN ANTONIO,TX ON JULY 5TH 2019 FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND IN MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE SEL WITH THE 6F35 TRANSMISSION. WE WERE ABOUT 1 HOUR & 30 MINUTES INTO OUR TRIP, 108 MILES, FROM OUR HOME NEAR THE CITY OF FLATONIA, TX WHEN OUR TRANSMISSION HORRIFICALLY FAILED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION HAD A MADE A HARD SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR. IT HAD JUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL I ACCELERATED AND THEN IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO 6TH GEAR. THE NEXT SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS WHEN THE DASH SCREEN TOLD US THE LANE CHANGE SENSOR WAS FAILING. NEXT WE STARTED NOTICING A FAINT BURNING SMELL COMING INTO THE CABIN, WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS. A MINUTE LATER ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON IN THE DASH SCREEN. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL SO I COULD...

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, STARTED TO ACCELERATE IN SPORT MODE, HEARD SOMETHING POP. SOUNDED LIKE THE CLUTCH SLIPPED OR A BELT BROKE. LOST MOST ACCELERATION. GOT OFF FREEWAY TO TAKE SIDE STREETS HOME. HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE ACCELERATING UP HILL. WOULD ACCELERATE BUT VERY SLOWLY. NOT ON PACE WITH GEARS. WAS SHIFTING WEIRD. BOTH IN D AND S. TOOK ME ABOUT 4 BLOCKS TO GET FROM 0 TO 25MPH.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, HIGHWAY AND CITY SPEEDS, ENGINE IS HESITATING AND STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING. 2013 TURBO FORD ESCAPE

MID-DAY, 91 DEGREES. CAR SHUDDERED REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. I WAITED AND CAR IDLED WELL. I LEFT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TURNED LEFT INTO TRAFFIC ON A FIVE-LANE ROAD. I LOST ACCELERATION MERGING FROM THE CENTER TURNING LANE. THE VEHICLE REVVED, GETTING FUEL, BUT THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, NO SHUDDERING, NOTHING. I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO "SPORT" MODE, IN CASE I HAD BUMPED THE SELECTOR, BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. TRAFFIC HONKED AND SWERVED AROUND ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE RIGHT LANE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. MY CAR SHUDDERED OFF, COMPLETELY AND I LOST POWER STEERING JUST AS I COMPLETED THE MANEUVER. I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED TO A SIDE-STREET, WHERE I IDLED FOR FIVE MINUTES AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. ASSISTANCE WAS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME AND I SUFFER FROM A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT MAKES ME FRAGILE...

MY ESCAPE ALL OF A SUDDEN COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE WERE NO CODES THE 2013 FORD ESCAPE 2.0 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON!!! YOU NEED TO RECALL THE 1.6 FORD ESCAPE ECOBOOST MY CAR LITTERLY DID WHAT THE RECALL SAID WAS HAPPENING

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE SOON ERROR ! THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK ITS IN PARK WHILE DRIVEN. IT STAULES SEEMS THAT IT IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEARS BY ITS SELF

INTERMITTENT STALLING OF MY 1.6 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. IT HAPPENS EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS AND ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE ABOUT 100 FEET. THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND DIE. YOU START IT BACK UP AND IT WILL DISPLAY LOSS OF POWER AND DIE AGAIN. NORMALLY THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS PROPERLY. IT WILL THEN NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR 3-4 DAYS. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL NORMALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AFTER GONG TO THE STORE AND WHEN LEAVING YOU PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IT WILL STALL MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT.

CAR ECELERATES ON ITS ON, TRANSMISIN JERKS WHEN U PUT IT IN GEAR AFTER DISENGAGING THE HAND BREAK, ROLLING WHILE IN PARK WITH ENGINE OFF, TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN CHARGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING A HILL. 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.

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.

DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING IN A 40 MPH ZONE, ABOUT 1.5 MILES, WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAD SHOT UP TO H FOR HOT. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN, REGARDLESS OF PRESSING THE GAS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF A US HIGHWAY AND FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK JUST A SHORT DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO REVERSE AFTER PUSHING THE REVERSE SELECTOR BUTTON. THE FAILURE WAS ALSO PRESENT WHEN SELECTING THE DRIVE GEAR. IN ADDITION, WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND; HOWEVER, THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (DOAN FORD, 66870 BELMONT MORRISTOWN RD., BELMONT, OH) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,500.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE LOW COOLANT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND WAS COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT CONTAINER WAS HALF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

WHEN I'M RUNNING IN NORMAL SPEED SOMETIME THE ACCELERATION IS NOT WORKING JUST LIKE LOST COMPRESSION, THEN IT'S COMING BACK IN FEW OF SECONDS..

AFTER ALMOST BEING KILLED WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, SEVERAL TIMES. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE GET THIS FIXED???? I HAVE SEEN 855 COMPLAINTS FOR SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.... I HAVE REPLACED 2 OF THE SAME SENSORS AT METRO FOR SCHENECTADY... WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE? THERE ARE NUMOROUS TIMES THIS HAPPENED

MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF, SIMPLY THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK, EVEN IN NEUTRAL. I DRIFT TO SIDE OF ROAD, RESTART THE CAR AND IT IS OK. REVERSE WORKS FINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

FOR THE LAST TEN MONTHS OR SO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING WHEN PULLING OUT AFTER STARTING (IN BOTH HOT AND COLD ENGINE SITUATIONS); ALMOST ALWAYS INTO TRAFFIC. IT OCCURS AS SERIES OF 3 OR 4 CONSECUTIVE STALLS - HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED. THIS RANDOM STALLING HAS AND CONTINUES TO TAKE PLACE 3 - 6 TIMES A MONTH. THE CLOSEST CALL I EXPERIENCED WAS IN A LARGE ACTIVE PARKING LOT. I DO BELIEVE THIS HAS OFTEN OCCURRED TURNING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS AND PARKING LOTS. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS WITH THE SAME FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS, ONCE HAVING IT TAKEN OVER NIGHT TO INVESTIGATE. ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN "FAILURE TO REPRODUCE" THE PROBLEM. THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS HAVE BEEN OF NO USE. AS I UNDERSTAND, 2013 (AMONG OTHER) ESCAPES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL....

THE WATER HEATER HOSE ON MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS A LEAK IN IT. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS I FILL UP THE WATER CONSTANTLY WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH HOW FAR I DRIVE DAILY. IT IS PART NUMBER CV6Z-18472-S I TOOK MY CAR IN ON JANUARY 29, 2018 AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE 162 ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD RECEIVE IT BY JANUARY 27, 2018. TODAY IS FEB 1 AND I WAS TOLD THE PART WON'T BE READY TILL MARCH 7, 2018 AND I HAVE TO JUST WAIT. NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 3200 OF THIS PART BACK ORDERED. WHY CAN I NOT DRIVE MY CAR FOR A MONTH AND A HALF? IF THERE ARE OVER 3K BACK-ORDERED WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?

INITIALLY I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. INITIALLY WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE LOOKED AT, BY THE HUNT FORD IN LA PLATA, MD. THEY CHANGED THE OXYGEN SENSOR. SO THE LIGHT WENT OFF. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER IN 2016 THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. EVENTUALLY I STARTED DRIVING ON ROUTE 5 NORTH AND HEARD A 'POP' NOISE IN THE ENGINE AREA. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND WOULD HESITATE. THEN EVENTUALLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING. PRIOR TO THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING THE CAR BEGIN TO MISFIRE, HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE WOULD OVERHEAT FROM TIME TO TIME PREMATURELY. THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES STALL AND MISFIRE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN SITTING IDLE. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE IT SHOWS A RECALL FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL &...
