Escape Limited 2.4L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 102,000 miles

I have spent $1200 in repair to only return to the same issue. My 2012 Ford Escape Limited 2.4LTR 4Cylinder stalls or hesitates when the air conditioner is on or the defroster. I have already changed out the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body and done the relearn process for both repair and guess what? It still stalls when the air conditioner is on. I am literally about to set this car on fire and let it roll down my street, The worst purchase I have ever made.

While on a deserted street at night car stalled completely lost power. After a few minutes it did restart. A few weeks later in rush hour traffic, at a light, the car stalled again. Took approximately 3 light changes before restarting. Dealer replaced/fixed electronic throttle body at no charge.
