When I drive my 2013 Ford Escape on interstate, uphill, or at fast speeds, it feels like it holds back. I don't know if this is due to the eco boost engine or what. But it does not run smooth and clean. There's a hold back and U can constantly feel it. It doesn't roll smooth.

Was on highway accelerating to approx 60 mph and the car suddenly lost power. Rpms redlined and then dropped back. Engine fault, service engine immediately was shown on display and car went into limp mode. I was barely able to make it safely off highway and to repair shop. Repair shop is not able to find a code and car is unsafe to drive myself and my children around in.

My 2013 Ford Escape just hit 100,000 miles. The car started stalling out when excelerating. I took it to the local Ford dealership, they could not find any codes when analyzing it. They replaced points & plugs. Dealership indicated they have never heard of the engine stalling; thank goodness it happened to the service when he test drove it. I came home and researched stalling 2013 Escapes, was surprised to see all the problems; not sure what sites Ford uses for research. When I went to pick the vehicle up after paying my $400 bill, I never made it out of the parking lot, it stalled out again. So the Escape is still sitting St the dealership.

My vehicle stalls/ loss of power while driving on the highway and residential roads, , stalls / loss of power while at low RPM or coming to a standstill, I have almost been hit by other cars several times because of this problem, I took my vehicle to Napa Ford and they said they could not repeat the issue, Napa Ford told me it was probably an issue with my battery so we replaced the battery with a new one, this has not fixed the problem with stalling/ loss of power!

Engine is losing coolant, but no leak is visible. Engine is also losing oil but no oil is visible. This vehicle was built in 6/12 which should mean it's in the recall for this exact problem but it's not for some reason

I then started looking up with the problem may be. I was about to release my gear shifter but using the unlock white lever under the compartment. Still nothing changed my car was still in natural. Had emergency break activated to keep the car in place in my drive. Kept searching an found out the problem would be the transmission cable bushing. It was almost midnight so I left my car overnight with E break on till day light. This morning went out to investigate an sure enough it was detached. The bushing was gone. I manually but my car in park. Called all auto stores an the informed me there was a recall on this very issue with my year make an model. They also do not sell that part.

When idling the engine will stall. It will start right back up but sometimes will stall again when attempting to accelerate. Often there isok no power when attempting to accelerate.. I have had to put coolant in at least twice in 2 months. The vehicle overheats and forces me to pull over. None of the gages indicate overheat.
