2015 FORD ESCAPE Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine, head gasket, and engine block needed to be replaced; however, the parts for the repair were on backorder. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the parts for the repair. The contact was not made aware that her VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Engine completly locked up while driving on 01/13/23 it is full of oil and didn't say it was getting hot. During acceleration it started making a whistling sound the day before now my vehicle is stalled leaving me stranded I bought this brand new from ford.

The engine light remains on, the error is a misfire in cylinder #3. The repair technician said there is coolant getting into the cylinder due to a leaking head gasket or cracked block. Contacted Ford and they said this is a common issue but my manufacture date is outside of the existing recall for this issue. The Ford service manager also said he see this often and hopefully the recall will be extended to other build dates as all the engines are the same and he is not surprised by problem. The solution is a engine replacement, about $9,000. The recall need to be expanded!!

lack of coolant circulation resulting in the engine overheating. This has caused a possible crack in the cylinder head. Lost power while driving on the freeway. The system is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of my minor son was at risk. Warnings came on for overheating, check engine light, and safe mode put on while on the free way so could not accelerate.

I was pulling out of our alleyway onto a main road when the vehicle seemed to have stalled in the middle of the road and the steering assist warning came on. Luckily the driver of the car that would have T-boned me was paying close attention and was able to stop in time. I suspect some drivers may not be so lucky. I have yet to contact Ford or any other mechanic about this as this was the first time that it's happened. I have read that there are recalls for a very similar if not same issue with 2014 Escapes and I believe the 2015 Lincoln. I've also seen in message boards online that this seems to be a very common problem with most modern Ford Escapes. Seems dangerous and that they should be forced to do a recall on most of their Escapes. The contact stated that the...

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that there was coolant intrusion into the engine, and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I took my escape to the dealer because of no heat on a Tuesday they filled the antifreeze because it was low I drove it on Thursday then on Friday I had to have it towed to the dealer because all of the antifreeze was on yhe ground I guess there's a problem with the eco boost escapes I believe it has the same problem

Check engine light came on. Low on coolant. 2 days later low on coolant again. Engine needs replaced at 101,000 miles after faithful regular maintenance. Have read multiple reports from other owners of this same problem. This should be a recall! So unfair to pay so much for a new car then have to pay again at such low mileage. Will definitely consider another brand at next purchase. And just now the dealership said they can't even get a new engine and a rebuilt one will be $2,000 more than a new one. I am just sick over this !! Ford needs to do better!!

While driving the vehicle, I received a notice on the dash screen stating that the engine was overheated and to pull over as soon as possible. I followed the instructions (within 30 seconds) and shut the engine off but before I could exit the vehicle, there was a large amount smoke/steam coming from the engine area and it had also gotten into the inside of the vehicle. I began coughing and had a hard time catching my breath. I exited the vehicle. Once I was able, I raised the hood and found that the coolant reservoir was empty. I went up to the local parts store and purchased some coolant and once the engine had cooled off, I added it to the coolant tank. The temperature gauge returned to normal and I was able to drive it to my mechanic's shop. Upon inspection, it was found that the engine head...

https://www.motorbiscuit.com/avoid-ford-ecoboost-engine-all-cost/ Everything listed in this article happened to our Ford Escape From the EcoBoost, catalytic convertor, vacuum pump for the brakes, timing chain, head gasket, and main fuel line. We have paid over 6k to replace these parts. Only to be told the car needed a new PCM computer to run. We took the car to Thoroughbred Ford in Kansas City to replace the PCM, which the part itself cost us 1k. Ford replaced the PCM and the car still didn't work after more than one diagnostic test and another associated testing, they told us it wasn't a PCM problem at all, that in fact, the engine needs to be replaced. Meanwhile, Ford wants to charge us $2300, for a car that is known for having Ecoboost issues.

The temperature gauge pegged-out at FULL HOT in a matter of seconds, the engine overheated. The safety risk would be a seized or blown engine while driving. The problem was checked by two independent auto repair facilities and an authorized dealer service department. The authorized dealer representative said the vehicle had a "coolant invasion of the #1 cylinder. The car had a defective block so changing the head gasket was not recommended, replacing the engine was the prescribed fix. Each week for a period of three weeks the 'check engine' light came on. I went to my mechanic and he checked it out with his electronic engine diagnostic port, each time it showed that the #1 cylinder misfired. He could not find any reason/couldn't figure it out. The fourth week when the screen showed red when the engine overheated was the first time there was a light/warning other than the...

Transmission slips and is a safety hazard for my family unknown when it's in p or D no indication

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact noticed that the coolant level was low. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced and there was coolant in cylinder #4. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated there was oil in the turbo booster. The manufacturer was contacted and referred her to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 169,000.

The engine in the car has a cracked engine block. It first showed up as engine issues and the the spark plug could not be removed. The engine was reviewed by an independent garage and then a Ford Dealership and was verified as a cracked engine block that was allowed coolant into the cylinders. The dealership has another escape in with the same problem. We have been told that the VIN number does not indicate this engine as an issue, but it is as the block is cracked. The independent shop told us that the issue is a manufacturing defect in the block due to a soft material used in creating the engine. Once the engine light came on we brought the car to the shop and it was diagnosed as an issue. The car sat at the Ford dealership for 3 months and we were told the engine was...

Vehicle while driving seemed to not shift gears properly.took to dealer 4 months after purchased.they said could not find anything.but did find coolant hose needed replaced.i paid for that.still had the same problem.took vehicle to second dealer found turbo boost loosing power.they fixed that I paid for but still not shifting properly.now my engine started knocking I took to mechanic he said it's the transmission and now the engine block cracked where it connects to transmission.i feel this shifting issue has caused engine issues.ford will not help me.

Was driving and came to a stop and vehicle said transmission not in park and shut off. Tried to restart and it did even attempt to turn over so I was stuck in the lane of traffic on the road.

Vehicle had a new Ford manufactured motor put in, while driving since the new motor was put in, it developed a knock and at one point started smoking. Luckily we were in town and at a lower speed we were able to pull into a parking lot and turn it off. We were unable to tell where the smoke was coming from. The car has been at the shop for a month and we were notified that the engine had failed again with less than 10,000 miles on it.

I had to replace my transmission in August of 2020 due to brushes being missing or not functioning properly. The 1st and 5th gears were completely destroyed in my transmission and led my car to completely not running and having to be towed.

While driving, the vehicle’s transmission starting coming out of gear, then lose of power, go back into gear for a moment, then go out of gear causing coasting and lose maneuverability. After being shut down immediately and towed to a mechanic, diagnostic is transmission out for some reason and misfires in two cylinders. Vehicle has less than 80K miles. Can’t really tell as the digital screen also went out. Vehicle has had regular service by a Ford dealership.

My car has never been able to pick up speed when I need to accelerate onto the highway. It takes much longer to gain speed than much older cars I've had like the 89 Silverado or 2001 Durango. I will Floor the gas to gain acceleration, and it's like I was still pushing the gas for 30 to 40 mph. It's like the car has to think for awhile. Then it will shoot up with a large jerk. The car has done this sine 30k miles in Jan. 2018. I've almost been hit several times merging onto the highway

AFTER FUELING IT WOULD SPUTTER AND ALMOST TURN OFF WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. MARCH 11 2021 ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DID TURN OFF WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. TOOK TO MECHANIC DIAGNOSTIC READING WAS PURGE VALVE. 11 MONTHS LATER ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND DIAGNOSTIC READING WAS PURGE VALVE

The smell of burning wires, engine light on and off

I learned last week that the vehicle that I lease (it's actually a car subscription) from SwingleCollins & Associates ([XXX], CISR, COMMERCIAL ACCOUNT MANAGER,[XXX], O [XXX] | F [XXX] ) has been recalled after entering the VIN # for my vehicle. I immediately contacted the vehicle owner (i.e. SwindleCollins) to alert them that the vehicle had been recalled and is not safe. While it appears the manufacturer of the vehicle, Ford, does not currently have parts to repair the vehicle, SwindleCollins has refused to replace my vehicle until such parts are available from the manufacturer. This puts me and my passengers at risks and seems in violation of the contract and I would like to therefore report the incident. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I had drove my car to chick fil a. I was inside for less than 5 minutes waiting on my order. When I came back outside my car was on fire. I’ve read articles about many other people having problems with their Ford Escaped catching fire. https://www.fordescape.org/threads/2014-ford-escape-engine-fire.88258/ If I had stayed in my car for a few more minutes I could’ve been inside and I could be dead right now. There seems to be a issue with the 2013 and 2014 model years combusting suddenly but, I think they need to include the 2015 model.

First problem- over the course of the last few years, the car intermittently gets "jumpy" when changing to/from different gears like (from reverse to drive OR drive to reverse, all after completely braking-not in the middle of gear shift). It has not completely stalled but feels very close to it. i had brought it in in the past and they had never found anything wrong with it. It does not always happen. Second problem- the rear view back up assistance has not been working properly for over 3 years. I will be in reverse and either the beeping continues even though nothing is around or, the screen goes blank and shuts off. I was told this would be at my expense, not a recall. this does not happen all the time but is very often.

- When pushing start, the car cranks but no start. Failed to start with new battery. - I took the car to Ford dealer maintenance shop and couldn't identify the problem and contacting Ford Engineering for further investigation. - There is no any message or warning on the dashboard and also what the maintenance shop informed me. All the lighting system is Ok, even the radio is working. - According to the mechanic, the issue is new one and not has been seen before.

Transmittion went out without any warning was driving and started jumping bad and just shut down. There was transmittion fluid, and it just secede up with under 100k miles. Then shift cable broke 3 months later without any warning. Was parked changed, and I had backed into a parking spot, and car went into reverse could not get out of reverse. Put the car in park and still showed that car in reverse with the back up camera. Had to get it towed both times

My ford has had white/blue smoke clouds coming from the exhaust for weeks. I scheduled maintenance at a ford dealership and was told a diagnostic was not even worth the money because the knew exactly what the issue is, the coolant is leaking into the engine, causing the engine to smoke and eventually will misfire, overheat and catch fire. I was told there is no repair, the engine needed to be replaced and because my warranty had expired, I must pay to replace the engine. Although, Ford is aware of their mistake and faulty parts, Ford is not accepting responsibility for the issue they caused innocent buyers. I am a single mother of an adopted kid. I bought this car 3 years ago under the impression Ford is a honest company.I am now seeing otherwise. I now am stuck with making a decision during a pandemic on paying upwards of...

Owner of a 2015 Ford Escape 1.6L. White plumes of smoke have started to billow out every time I start my vehicle in the morning and then again on my way home from work. No indicator light or error codes are showing as to why coolant is leaking in the cylinder heads.

Problem with 1.5L, 1.6L, 2.0L Turbocharged engine that Ford has been aware of since 2010. A Ford dealership told me this is a common defect with these engines. Coolant leaks into cylinders and ruins the engine. There is an active lawsuit on Ford as of December 2020. Ford dealership is trying to charge me 8500 dollars for an engine rebuild and will not give me a price on replacing the engine with a manufactured engine.

FORD FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THE COOLANT LEAKING ISSUE WITH THE 1.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. DID A PATCH JOB FIX 2 YEARS AGO AND FAILED TO REPAIR WHEN TECHNICIANS STATED THE ENGINE NEEDED REPAIRS. THERE IS COOLANT IN THE 4TH CYLINDER OF THE ENGINE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS.

A PISTON EXPLODED IN MY ENGINE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY TIRES SLIPPED AND TRIED TO KICK ON TRACTION CONTROL BUT INSTEAD DISABLED MY DRIVING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND STOP. TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE SECONDS THEN RESTARTED IT BACK ON. DID THAT 3 TIME IN MY WAY INTO WORK. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL UNTIL I GOOGLED WHAT HAPPENED AND LOT OF RESPONSES SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL GETS FAULTY. SO NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE I HAVE TO GO INTO THE SETTINGS AND TURN OFF MY TRACTION CONTROL OR IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME.

ON THE DATE OF 04/07/21 I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK, HAD PULLED OUT OF DUNKIN DONUTS AND WENT UP A SMALL HILL TO A STOP SIGN I HAD THE AC ON, AND MY WINDOW ROLLED DOWN AS I JUST LEFT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND AS I GET TO THE TOP OF THE SMALL HILL, MY AC TURNS OFF AND MY CAR DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK AND IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED RESTARTING IT AND NOTHING I HAD DASH LIGHTS EVERYTHING BUT DIDN'T START. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD, THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF AND DISPLAYED A STARTING SYSTEM FAIL MESSAGE TOOK IT TO DEALER AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. COULD THIS BE RELATED TO A RECALL!

MY ENGINE FAILED IN 2019. COOLANT ENTERED CYLINDER NO. 2 AND WAS BLOWN OUT THE TAILPIPE. ALL COOLANT WAS LOST. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTERWARDS WITHOUT CAUSING SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. ENGINE WAS REPLACED BY FORD. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES, E.G., 1.6, 2.0 AND 2.5L, HAVE SIMILARLY FAILED. FORD HAS REPLACED MANY ENGINES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IN MANY CASES THE VEHICLES WERE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND OWNERS HAD TO PAY $8,000 TO $12,000 OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS TO HAVE ENGINES REPLACED. THESE ENGINES EXHIBIT A DESIGN DEFECT THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO ENTER THE CYLINDERS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL OR EXTENDED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL ENGINE COOLANT CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE MANY AREAS ON TODAY'S HIGHWAYS WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY...

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THE COOLANT VALVE WENT SUDDENLY, CAUSING ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND ENGINE CYLINDER TO CRACK. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 71000 MILES. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED FOR 2014 FORD ESCAPES, IN WHICH A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR 2015 ESCAPES DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS WITH THE HEATER IN THE ON POSITION, THE HEATING SYSTEM FAILED TO PROVIDE HEAT THROUGHOUT THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING WAS ELEVATED TO THE HIGH MARKER. THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHCILE WAS TOWED TO YORK FORD INC (1481 BROADWAY, SAUGUS, MA 01906, (781) 231-1945) AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED HEAD GASKET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,226. INVALID VIN.

PURCHASED A NEW 2015 ESCAPE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER MULTI TIMES FOR TURBO REPLACEMENT AND THE HEADS REPLACED. WAS SMELLING COOLANT IN THE CAR TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER FOR REPAIR. THAT WAS OVER 7 WEEKS AGO. FORDS WILL NOT APPROVE THE REPAIR THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. I HAVE A ACTIVE POWERTRAIN AND FORD ESP WARRANTY.

I LEFT THE CAR ON SINCE MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE CAR. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT FROM THE STORE, I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT LET ME. SO I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR BUT IT WILL STILL STAYED ON. AFTER ABOUT 1 HR THE CAR STARTED TO TURN OFF SLOWLY. IT IS COMPLETELY OFF NOW BUT WONT TURN BACK ON. LUCKILY WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT OF A DOLLAR TREE.

I NOTICED THAT MY HEAT STOPPED WORKING WHILE IDLING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I CHECKED THE ENGINE COOLANT LEVELS AND DISCOVERED MY ENGINE COOLANT WAS PRETTY LOW. I FILLED THE COOLANT AND THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. A FEW DAYS LATER; HOWEVER, I NOTICED THE ISSUE AGAIN. UPON CHECKING MY COOLANT LEVEL AGAIN, I SAW THAT THE LEVEL HAD DROPPED AGAIN. I CHECKED EVERYWHERE FOR LEAKS BUT SAW NONE. I THEN BROUGHT MY CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO ALSO CHECKED FOR LEAKS. HE TOLD ME THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL LEAKS. THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO ENGINE, A COMMON PROBLEM THEY SEE WITH FORD VEHICLES. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT WORTH IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THAT I WAS BETTER OFF TRADING IT IN FOR A NEW CAR. I'M SO UPSET BECAUSE I TOOK EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOW NEED TO CAR SHOP DURING A PANDEMIC WITH POOR...
