Vehicle stalled on highway due to overheating which was a coolant leak. I see they are already investigating similar complaints. Driver's seat has tears in it. Engine was replaced at 107,000 miles. Vehicle jerks while trying to park on a hill. Touch screen goes in and out. Trunk latch only works when it wants to. Rear differential failed at 121,000 miles, but has been making noise since 107,000 miles. This vehicle is nothing but problems!

Freeway driving and car stalled. Able to drive to close dealership with pedal to floor and getting about 8 mph. Replaced throttle body. Left dealership. Driving side streets 2 miles from dealership and same thing. 8 mph. Towed back to dealer. Said it might be wire harness $2000. They test drive though and no problem after moving wires around. So I took car and drove a few days but then after exiting highway about one mile it does it again. Towed back to dealer where I start it and get zero warnings. Drives ok. But leave it there. They think it's purge valve now. Glad I didn't replace wire harness. They say it isn't giving any codes not sure what to do. Scary to lose all acceleration on freeway!

Car was in parked. When I put the car in gear, it got stuck in reverse and the car cut out and would not start. Tow truck came to assist and told me that this issue was a recall on Ford cars. I called lexington park dealership to verify and was told that this recall didn't apply to my VIN. Not sure why, if the recall specifically states 2013 and 2014 Ford Escapes which I have. If I am having the same issue as the recall, why am I not covered.

The car stalls and will have no power the code says electrical sometimes it says it's running hot but it's not says it is the electrical sensor.

I own a 2013 Ford Escape sel 1.6 with 103,000. After recently almost being involved in a car wreck due to my Escape stalling, I took it to my local mechanic to get a fuel sensor replaced after reading online that it could be the cause to stalling. Few days after repair my Escape is still stalling. Absolutely no warning lights let alone warning when my Escape decides it wants to die. My Escape stalls at low speeds and when I'm idle. As an essential worker, I feel more safe working with the public than driving my Escape. This is a very dangerous issue.

Ford did a diagnostic on it which 2 codes showed but they tested and could not find the issue. So I then took it to the approved service shop. The first time they replaced the PCV valve but when I picked it up the next day, the engine light came back on and was now flashing. The shuddering was now happening while driving 70mph. I took it directly back to the shop where they worked on it for about 3 hours. As it was a Saturday, they asked me to bring it back in on Tuesday when the sr. Tech was there. On that day it was there for another 6 hours. They consulted with their head tech who has been there over 30 years and also with several Ford lead technicians. They replaced the egr valve and asked me to let them know how it was. The next morning I had the same issue. They asked me to bring it back in and they were told by Ford to replace a sensor. Once replaced that did not fix the issue. At that point they decided with Ford to take it to Ford to do another diagnosis. The code shows what they've already fixed. At this point there is not much else they can do. I have a vehicle that can't be fixed and I don't feel safe driving.

I've had a 2013 Ford Escape in for service for the same mechanical issue more than a half-dozen times. The vehicle would stall and engine shut down unexpectedly while driving on the highway, often on major highways at speeds at or over 40mph; this has happened nationwide and has been reported in over a thousand complaints. This is a dangerous, hazardous defect. I have been forced to pay for the repairs for this ongoing consistent dangerous defect. I have repair records documenting all of the problems and ongoing failure to correct this same issue. My vehicle should have been part of the recall for stalling issues. This is a safety defect and Ford should be held responsible. View the posted link NHTSA has probed the problem. Chapman Ford in northeast philadelphia knowingly sold this vehicle aware of the problem. The dealership will not acknowledge it. Ford corporation denies recall for my vehicle. I lodged a complaint with the ftc and with the Pennsylvania consumer protection Agency. Ford will wait to be liable when somebody gets hurt or killed on a highway when the 2013 Ford Escape stalls out loses power. I have reported this to Ford, they deny this safety issue. Beware of the 2013 Ford Escape. Https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/Ford-Escape-investigation-targets-stalling-problem

This is the tenth time that the coolant system lights come on and the the car stalls out and will only go approximately 5 miles per hour. This happened this time with a car behind me that almost crashed into me he had ti hit his breaks and go across a double line into oncoming traffic lanes to keep from hitting me, blessedly there was no oncoming traffic. I was driving the vehicle. Now it won"T stay charged even with a new battery. As soon as I turn the motor off the car is dead until I charge it again. It runs from point a to B but if you turn it off it is completely dead and the key wont work or anything

When started, vehicle displays 'power steering assist failure-requires service' warning and power steering is lost. This has happened three times over the course of two days. It does not happen every time the car is started, it just randomly happens. I drove home last night from work with no power steering, and along with this issue my usb ports would not charge my phone. My phone recognized that it was plugged in, but not enough power was being supplied to actually charge it. I'm nit sure if that is linked with the power steering module, but I've never had that issue before all of this mess.

My 2013 Ford Escape stalls and turns off several times a day. You can drive it several miles, but when you stop and turn it off, then turn it back on it will stall and turn off. It's died several times pulling out of a parking space or in the middle of the road. If I'm able to keep it running long enough to get up to about 30 mph it will skip 3 times then it's fine, until you turn it back off. I've almost been in several collisions with me and my 3 kids. I've called the Ford dealership several times and they keep saying there's no recall and I have to pay to get it looked at and fixed. Apparently this is a known issue by looking at other people having the same issue with it stalling and dying.

While driving down the highway ( us 82 in Texas), there were flames seen coming from underneath the vehicle. A separate vehicle pulled up beside our 2013 Ford Escape, and yelled that the car was on fire. My son quickly pulled over, and he and his mother quickly got out of the vehicle and backed away from it. A fire truck came and put out the fire, but the car is a total loss. My wife was also treated for smoke inhalation on site, and later had to go to the hospital because she was still having problems breathing. I have checked the VIN on our vehicle, but there was no recall on our VIN. After research, I see that there has been other fire issues with other vins. I believe our situation needs to be looked at, because the recall may need to be expanded. We are currently upside down on our car note, and will loose about $4,000 out of pocket. I believe our issue could be related to issues others have had within the recalled VIN's. this happened on Friday November 15th near sherman, Texas.
