There is a slow antifreeze leak. Every two days, antifreeze has to be added but the leak is not visible. Also, upon starting the car, shifting into drive and attempting to accelerate; the car will get bogged down right before 20 miles per hour and then stop unexpectedly. It does not completely use power but it does stall. There has been no explanation found for this and it is a daily occurrence.

I bought my vehicle in June of 19 with 91 thousand miles. In 3mos. My engingine began to vibrate. My hood was vibrating and trans was shifting hard and jumping in and out. Took it to Ford in mesquite tx. I paid 800 + dollars for motor mount. Two days later vibrations return. Took it back. They said that's normal. Didnt do diagnostics. 2mos ago it started rattling from the rear. Vibrations worst. Ford said its transmission mount now. This car has over 10 recalls performed. I cant afford to fix. I took for another license shop. Mechanic said he wouldn't touch it he said the exhaust and mounts go out frequently on these cars. It would kill in on his one warranty. Said mounts can go out again within 3months. I'm stuck with this money taking lemon. 2013 with 101 thousand miles.

Slow coolant leak that is not visible anywhere. Report shows recall for this issue & vehicle was serviced; however, problem still exists.

- Vancouver, WA, USA

Since the day we brought it home from the dealership it will randomly die or stall out when you put it in gear. Today it actually died while still in park. Once it gets going down the road it's fine but sometimes it dies within the first minute. Yesterday it died 7 different times. It is not showing any warning lights or error codes.

I own a 2013 Ford Escape SE with the 1.6 engine. Driving the vehicle over the last 2 or 3 months the engine coolant seems to be disappearing rather fast. We can take it to the mechanic and he can top off all the fluids, about a week later the add coolant light comes back on and says to stop car immediately due to engine overheat. We get it pulled over and the coolant is just under the min. Line. The car barely has 120,000 miles on it and we are the first and only owners. Ford told us they will not fix it until the recall is issued by the national highway transportation safety administration. This is a $3,000 + job that is not just an easy fix. This car is a fire hazard due to the freeze plugs in the engine now breaking loose and coolant leaking into the cylinders. So when this does fully fail and either catch fire or stall in traffic and kills my wife who do I sue? I have anther question that I am hoping to get answered also. If another person is having the same problem why is their car getting fixed but my VIN is getting skipped in all the recalls. My mechanic is able to see the freeze plug recall on other 2013 models of my car my but my certain VIN number is not able to be taken to the dealership and be fixed.

There is an ongoing leak in the coolant system. Being reported on the last date of coolant addition. This is an issue that is part of a recall on this make, model and year of the vehicle, but the NHTSA system indicates that my vehicle either is not a part of the recall or has been fixed. As stated in the recall, this is a safety issue.

- Deer Park, TX, USA

While in motion on the freeway in a busy metro area, traveling at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled with an instant loss of power and flashed a code that said there was an 'engine malfunction' and 'service now'. I was able to coast to the side of the freeway without incident, however, this could have been disasterous at those speeds on a metro freeway. I was able to restart the vehicle with the push button start and although it started sluggish, it resumed driving with no codes as if nothing had happened. Until an hour later, when the same repeat incident occurred. The car was functioning completely normal without any warning indicator that there was an issue....until the vehicle instantly shut down at a high speed. This is absoluetly hazardous and the dealership said there is no open recall for this issue, despite the multiple online reports of other consumers experiencing the identical issue. The cause of this issue is unknown as all levels on the dashboard indicated the vehicle was in good operating condition until it shut down for no apparent reason. I repeat......it was a sudden loss of power in freeway traffic at high speeds. Vehicle code readers display no code when I have had them read. This vehicle was purchased used from a dealership and was inspected less than 3 months ago.

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.

- Suffolk, VA, USA

When starting the vehicle, 70% of the time the vehicle stalls after 1 minute, sometimes on the road which is dangerous. Now it is stalling after it has been driven for awhile and I place it in park. It now stalls while idling. In all instances I can restart the car with no problems...except if it stalls again, which is now approximately 50% of the time.

- Atlanta, GA, USA

The car has stalling issues. When I start it it chugs and stalls. I restart it and drive approximately 15 miles. Let the car sit a few minutes and get in to drive away and it stalls again. It also intermittently stalls while driving down the road. I also have a heating issue. I purchased the car Dec.26. 2020 and it has been in the Ford service dept since Jan 4, 2021. Only the heat has been gbeing looked at. The stalling hasnt been looked into. Heat only works when accelerating.

- North Lawrence, OH, USA

Vehicle stalling at different times. There is no codes when it happens and no set time. Don't feel safe driving this vehicle as we are seniors and don't want to get stranded some were! going back to my personal mechanic on 2/2/21 to see if they can fix the problem. I think Ford should foot the bill as this car is unsafe for our highways.

- Longview, WA, USA
