My well-maintained 2013 Ford Escape with approximately 65,000 miles on it recently developed a coolant leak. Upon complete inspection at the dealership, this appears to be an internal coolant leak that is very similar in description to those which have been previously reported in this make and model of car in selected manufactured vehicles. My car was not one of these selected vehicles in prior recalls, and I am concerned that there are additional vehicles affected, including mine, that should also be recalled. In my car, there is an internal coolant leak with evidence of active leak onto the spark plugs and destroying the engine, and this has resulted in requiring installation of an entirely new engine. Prior recall reports a 'coolant system leak that may cause the engine to overheat and leak flammable engine fluids'. I was alerted to the leak issue in my call when an 'engine overheating' warning came on simultaneously with a low coolant warning, which prompted me to proceed to the dealership with my car. This warning came on while driving my car vehicle on a city street. Thank you for investigating this concern.

The Escape has stalled several times. First time it stalled and stopped with no indication of issue on interstate. We were able to get it moved to parking lot after several times waiting for it to start. Had car towed to mechanic. The car never stopped for him. We picked it and drove in the morning to church and back with no issues. I drove it in afternoon temp around 85 degrees for about 3 miles. Car stopped running with no indication of problem while pulling up to stop light. After about 2 minutes car restarted and quit running again less then 1/4 mile while trying to get off street.I tried replacing ignition relay as noted by several websites but no change. Have no idea what is causing the unsafe sudden stalling. Car going back to mechanic. This is a very unsafe problem.

This is the 2nd time in 6 months this car has stopped running because it says the engine temperature is hot, but both times the car has only been running for 5 minutes.

Vehicle stalls without warning randomly. The vehicle is in motion driving straigh-forward when this occurs. It has happened in parking lots and on city streets. I see this car has been subject to a recall for this and I don't show any currently open recalls so perhaps the fix for the recall was not sufficient. We bought the car used about a few months ago from a Ford dealer.

Fuel: The car was only 4 years old started with a fuel issue. Every time I put gas, then turn on car doesn't want to start. It will eventually start and no other problems occur. But it does take a while for it to start. Kind of like when the battery is dying. Engine: When going up steep hills the engine over heats. It stabilizes once we drive on flat surface and doesn't happen again until we go up steep hills again. Both items have been occurring fr about 3 years. The fuel piece is very expensive to repair because of the way Ford built the compact engine.

Check engine light came on and I was told that it was the turbo boost. I had seen that other vehicles the same make, model, year and manufacturing date had been recalled for that issue but mine has not and now I'm looking at a very expensive fix. I have purchased several Ford in the past but I'm concerned that the quality is starting to wane and I'm disappointed the recall hasn't been expanded when it's evident that it should have been.

On Monday, May 6 I was in a store parking lot and I started my car to back out and drive home. My car gave an alert that said the engine overheated. There was no prior notice. The car stalled and engine shut down. I turned off the vehicle and when I restarted I was able to drive the few miles home. I called the Ford dealership and made an appointment for the next day. My car was serviced and they said there was some issue with a coolant leak which they fixed. On Friday, June 7th I was also in a parking lot when I started my car to drive home. The same alert came on and my engine shut down. I tried the same method of restarting my car in an attempt to drive home, however this time it would not drive. I called a tow truck to tow it to the dealership. At this time it is still in service at a Ford dealership. I paid $1000 to have the "issue" fixed a month ago. They have not yet been able to tell me what the "issue" is now. I do have the receipt and print out of what exactly was done in the first repair but it is inside my car which I can't access right now. If needed I can provide later.

While my car was still under warranty (approximately 2.5 year ago, when it was close to 50,000 miles), I brought my car in because it was slowly leaking coolant. They found a leak, but since the repair was so expensive, I decided it would be cheaper to just keep refilling it. At that time, I had to refill it every few months. Recently, it has been much worse where I need to refill it every week. My car also stalled (within a minute after starting it), but I am unsure whether those things are connected. I have read about many recalls for this issue (same make/model/year), but my nothing comes up when I search my VIN. My car is currently at 99,000 miles.
