It keeps stalling on me. When I back out of driveway it dies. At stop sign, ready to go and it dies. I've called Ford and they say it's not under warranty. I have 3 grandchildren and it died on me 3 times when they are N the car with me. Ford needs to step up and stand by their product before a fatality happens. Lawsuits will be coming.

I will be driving down the road and all of a sudden the car goes into limp mode. The rpms go way down and no matter how much I press the gas, I can not get car to go. I've had it to the garage several times. They have replaced air coolant parts, air filter, and several other things. Car continues to go into limp mode. No warning lights come on. Ford dealership I talked with says there are no recalls on such a thing. They did offer to do a diagnostic test, but why" nothing came up on diagnostics test with other garage. Ford company- this is extremely dangerous!! I almost got rear ended by a semi as the car did this while I was driving down the highway. Maybe the antifreeze leaking, this limp mode, and others having their cars stall completely is all one problem?" I'm hoping you can help with this problem! at least tell us how to fix it before we need a new engine, which it sound like that is what others have had to do.

Vehicle leaks coolant. There is a recall on the same year, make and models but mine is not included and it should be. This can be a fire hazard. I fill with fluid everyday I drive it.

- Yucca Valley, CA, USA

My 2013 Ford Escape occasionally goes into "limp mode" aka "fail-safe mode" when I am driving. This is very dangerous as the first time this happened we were on the highway and my car wouldn't accelerate- we nearly crashed as we tried to get over to the shoulder. This has happened a number of times since then and we are fearful of driving on the highway. To be more specific, when I try to push on the gas pedal my car doesn't respond and it will only accelerate up to 10-15mph.

I've been dealing with a coolant leak and all of the mechanics I've taken the car to can not find the leak. I've had hoses replaced and wasted so much money just to keep having the same promise.

- Rossville, GA, USA

In May 2020, engine began overheating when any power was applied and issue would resolve when stopped. Overheating would cause engine protection system to shutdown engine preventing any sort of driving. Coolant low level alarm would actuate despite coolant reservoir being in normal range and coolant pressure showing normal on gauge. After investigation, issue was found to be a leak in the water pump.

- Rutherfordton, NC, USA

Vehicle check engine light came on while driving in town with no other issues or noticeable change in vehicle performance/operation. Had code read at auto parts store and discovered that it was P0303; cylinder #3 misfire detected. Had dealership diagnose, and discovered a crack in the engine block allowing coolant to leak in to #3 cylinder. This was 3 months after dealership troubleshot a coolant issue and charged to replace the coolant pump due to it leaking.

The vehicle turns off with no warning while I am driving. I will be doing 45 miles per hour and the car will turn off. Turning into traffic it will stall too.

My 2013 Ford Escape has an antifreeze leak somewhere. The mechanic at independence Ford cannot find the leak. The antifreeze warning light comes on. We have been replacing coils randomly 1 through 4. now the check engine light is on again. The only code that comes up are the codes for the coils. How can they coils be bad when we just replaced them again.

Vehicle will stall while driving, bucks, jerks and shakes while accelerating. Rpms randomly accelerating, not producing enough power to allow vehicle to get up hill. Engine overheating, engine service soon light frequently coming on, especially after sitting out in hot/cold weather for a while. My radio has completely just stopped working, no sound whatsoever. I had hit a deer back in March of 2020, took it to my dealer for repair. When I picked up my vehicle I asked if it was still 'shifting hard.' I assumed since my computer to my car was just dangling after the accident I thought there was something wrong there. But apparently there has been other complaints as far back as 2018. Now, here I am months later and am terrified to drive my car. Will not have my daughter in it, which makes it hard being a single mom. Took it to multiple dealers explaining the situation. Everyone made me seem crazy, it magically didn't do it for them. Now I see I am not the only one!

It will chug then stall when stopped. I have to start it, rev the engine drop it into neutral, rev it again and drop into drive to get moving again. Sometimes it stalls numerous times before being able to move.
