The engine appears to give a false overheat alarm and goes into limp mode soon after engine start. Turning engine off and restarting usually clears the overheat alarm and the vehicle operates normally. It will sometimes repeat and could be a problem if this were to happen at an intersection when you need to clear quickly. False overheat issues being reported all over forums with 1.6 engine. Mechanic replaced engine coolant temperature sensor and problem persists. No other apparent problems with cooling system were found.

I was driving my car on a very busy highway and then the engine failure light came on and my car went into limp mode and stalled out several times while I was driving, this was very unsafe as I had cars going by me as I was stalling out, this could have caused a crash. I took it to the mechanic and he stated that it is a problem with my wiring harness. There is a tsb out but it says that my car was manufactured two months prior then the dates listed for the tsb. There is also a recall for my year make and model in the correct manufacturing dates but I am being told by a Ford representative that it isn't my car without them even looking at it.

I have taken my vehicle in multiple times to a dealer and other mechanics to have parts replaced. The engine seems to have an issue despite having no leak of overheating despite having replaced nearly every part in the vehicle. This is the second version of this model I am on with the same issue for a Ford Escape. The engine has now overheated and required around 1-3K in repairs (for each individual time) for the 9th time in under a year.

This vehichle has had multiple problems, sway bar replacements X3, I have to have it done again, lost power while driving, vehicle would literally stop in the middle of the road almost causing me to be hit a few times, Ford took care of that, now I have a gas leak in the line somewhere, engine light on, gas fumes so bad have to drive with my windows open, no leaking anywhere. This vehicle has a large amount of rust inside the doors and the camera does not work all the time. I have had a few Ford, via lease, I have never had a problem and was never afraid to drive my vehicle. This vehicle has had multiple problems. I almost feel like it was not checked properly. I now have to take this vehicle to the dealer again tomorrow, last time they told me the wrong thing was wrong, had I not gotten a second opinon I would have paid for the wrong repair, I then brought I back into them and felt like I had to demand the repair, after they looked at my vehicle that time they found the same thing wrong that I already knew. I did fill out my survey with Ford and they did cover the problems. There is nothing leaking anywhere under the vehicle so from my research I am assuming it is somewhere in the lines, hopefully I wont blow up. I am just unsure if it is just my truck or other Ford Escapes have this problem and nothing is being done about it. Thank you

- Thornton, CO, USA

I have a 2013 Ford Escape 1.6L ecoboost that stalls regularly while driving. Yesterday it stalled 5 times while my wife was driving. It also will not start after getting fuel. It takes several minutes of sitting and cranking the engine to start. Doesn't matter if you put in 1 gallon or 12 gallons it doesn't start right away. I entered the VIN# into the recall database and it only showed two recalls outstanding. Both were unrelated to mechanical issues. Very unsafe vehicle and will be difficult to trade in since it stalls all the time.
