Escape Hybrid Hybrid 2.3L

  • CVT transmission
  • 124,500 miles

I bought this SUV for my 19 year old son for his 1st car a week ago. We took it on a nice long drive; I was driving at 70 mph with cruise control set while on I-80 west in Sacramento. Without any warning the engine cut off and the message system stated "stop safely now". It was pure luck we didn't create a multi-car accident as I had multiple near misses with the cars and trucks veering out on my way. Had my son been driving, it may have been much different. AAA towing to the Ford dealer (40 miles away), diagnosis was cooling system for the engine/drivetrain and main battery cooling system both need replace/repairs.

I've never had such a dangerous situation like this before. Ford should take responsibility and get this serious issue resolved!

Engine fail safe mode" Truck just stops AND SHUTS DOWN !I I called Ford customer services today and they told me that Ford hasn't recalled this vehicle??? I do not feel safe with this vehicle . Ford customer service said that they have no heard about this problem before? Maybe they dont go in internet and read about the complaints that this car has.

This happened MORE THAN 10 TIMES at a speed of 65-70 miles per hour. The truck complete shuts down, a red triangular symbol comes on and the screen tells me to pull over safely. We pulled over and waited 15 or 20 minutes , them we turned engine back on and it started . Also happened at the speed of 15-20 miles per hour.

This car is not safe !!! . Safe your life , dont buy this car
