My SUV has suddenly loss acceleration when pulling out from a parking space, stop sign and out of a restaurant parking lot onto the highway. It will sputter like it's not getting gas and two times has completely cut off while still in drive. I have smashed the gas pedal to the floor to no avail nothing happened. The SUV didn't speed up nor start to even move fast. It would slowly jerk onto the road, and as I said twice has cut off another time it did finally get gas and go. I took it back to the dealership, but no codes showed up on the machine that anything was wrong with the SUV. There is definitely something wrong with it, besides me being nervous to pull out into traffic without getting hit because the SUV won't accelerate down the road. It has also cut off while sitting in my driveway idle. It does start to shimmer/shake like it's not idled high enough and then it just cuts off.

I have had my car for a few years now and bought used from a dealership scott Ford. My car had low miles and it was in my budget, plus good on gas and from what I was told farley safe. This car has given me so many problems since purchasing it and has left me out of hundreds of dollars. My latest issue is a huge one and I believe that there should be a recall on this car after doing my research as so many other people have sadly had to deal with the same issue. I pick my young children up from a carline at their school, and one day when I was there my car started to rev up slightly then it stalled on me completely. I was able to get it started the second time with slight hesitation on the engines part. Long story short my car stalled on me a total of 5 times. The third time I was able to drive away from car line and parked across 3 parking spaces as it stalled on me again. I popped my hood and my engine seemed to be extremely hot, then I sat there with my 2 young children, thankfully on a decently nice day outside for a half hour. I was able to start it again and went to leave to head home, and just as I was about to get into the turning lane it stalled right across on coming traffic. I had to roll my windo down and motion people to stop as I frantically tried to start my car again. After 2 tries I was able to start it and went into reverse and parked in the schools parking lot, since this incident my car has stalled a total of 11 times, and just again once this afternoon when I was leaving the grocery store reversing out of my parking spot. I feel this is extremely unfair because I am still like so many people making payments on this vehicle. I shouldn't have to worry about my children's safety and others because my vehicle is a pos. I am very upset by this I paid good money for this vehicle and all the dealership will do is charge me outrageously and not care

My engine started overheating and the low coolant light came on and smoke emerged from the engine compartment. Upon inspection there was antifreeze leaking onto the engine from what looked like it was coming from the reservoir area. I took my Ford to Firestone and they said it needed a new heater hose. I had the heater hose replaced last week and today I had the same thing happen, engine overheated light came on and smoke emerged. I think my 2013 model Escape sel may have been recalled for this before but the issue was never addressed with the previous owner and I fear for my life and any passengers that may be ridding with me due to the risk of fire in my engine. The vehicle was in motion in both occurrences before and after the heater hose replacement. Both incidents were going appropriately 40 miles per hour on a city street.

We took the car in for the myriad of recalls in 2018 when it was no longer serving as our primary family vehicle and we could stand to be without it for an extended amount of time. In the last two years it has served as a secondary vehicle, taking short trips to the store or park. On 10/23 we were driving in the Escape on a longer trip (26 miles to drop me off at the airport). He was maneuvering from the airport campus driving towards the on ramp when the dash console indicated the engine temperature was too high and to shut it off immediately. My husband immediately pulled off on the interstate ramp and turned off the car. It never cranked again for him, he replaced the completely empty coolant compartment and it still did not start. He spent hours on the side of the road with our toddler and finally had the car towed to autonation Ford union city. They called on 10/28 and informed us that the issue was under the known Ford recall regarding a coolant leak and that they would order the parts. We have never seen any coolant in our driveway or garage to indicate a leak to us. Ford just called us back today, 11/2 and told us it would cost $1,000 to repair the coolant leak because our local Ford dealership (mike fitzpatrick) addressed the recall in 2018. I shudder to think of the worst case scenario that could have happened with my kids strapped into their carseats if we had been in interstate traffic when the engine overheated. The recall repair has obviously failed and Ford is leaving us in the lurch after indicating to us already that the issue was caused by the known issues.

I have had my Escape for about 1yr. And for the past 6 months I have been getting a code P0234 which was read at a local auto zone which reads wastegate solenoid this is happening to me and many many other people around the world the solenoid itself keeps going bad and causing issues such as acceleration problems, losing power and dying down while driving even on an interstate and highways and sometimes it'll do it 2 or 3 times in a row before finally running and getting me where I need to go such as work or my child's school or doctor appointments or to the store. This issue should've been resolved by Ford making it so the wastegate can keep up with the turbocharge in the Ford Escape 1.6L. Other people used their power train warranties to have it fixed just to have to pay out of pocket for another one. It is a very serious ongoing issue with not just my car but others and the part is $200 each time it needs replaced and it is literally never the hoses it's the solenoid giving too much boost over 4psi which is absolutely ridiculous these cars need recalled the wastegate isn't compatible to keep up with the turbocharge itself in the car and if not fixed then people have to replace the turbo itself or buy a new engine or replace head gaskets and it could cause a serious wreck if someone is driving going 70mph on a highway and then boom your car died all because of a solenoid that doesn't work for the 2013 Ford Escape because Ford doesn't want to deal with the fact these cars are not road material and they are not safe for anyone to drive. They sincerely need recalled and nobody should have to pay for something that should've been dealt with before being sent out to the world. I really hope you consider investigating and getting these cars recalled. It'll save everyone time, effort, and money. I have proof of all the forums I could find too of the same issues I am having.

My Ford Escape 2013 said it was over heating and it left me on the side of the freeway. Took it to the mechanic and the code turned out to be the temperature sensor misfiring. Sensor was changed, two days later I drove my car and it left me on the side of the freeway due to the same issue again, stated it was the same isssue. Paid for a diagnostic report at Ford and they said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. Ive had the sensor replaced, both thermostats, water pump has been changed, but car keeps saying is the temperature sensor. I did read there was a recal on the Ford Escape 2013 due to the same issue and a system update needs to be done, however Ford does not have any knowledge of it.

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.
