I have a Ford Escape sel 2013. I am having problems with the coolant leaking. I had an diagnostic test done and it came up saying "error code P1299, cylinder head temperature sensor detected engine overheating condition". I called Ford company and a Ford dealership to question about the sensor and was told there was no recall on my particular SUV. My friend and I took to the internet to see what was wrong with the SUV and under Ford and nthsa there has been recalls on this particular issue with the Ford Escape 2013 sel. We called Ford and the same dealership again and was told there is no recall for this issue on my Escape. I called nthsa and was asked for my VIN number and was told also there is no recall on this part. I don't understand how my vehicle is not part of this recall when other 2013 Escape sel's are. I would like to have this further investigated because my SUV is doing the same thing as the other Escape sel SUV.

My Escape likes to stall going like 10 mph. The vehicle starts to hestistate and wont go anywhere. It stalls and like it shutting off with the oil light and the battery light comes on. I restart the vehicle and it does it again like it dont want to move. It stalls like three to four times and it would run like normal. It's very dangerous cause it stalled right in the middle of a intersection. If there was cars coming which I was lucky I wasn't I would had hit on both sides. This is not normal for a car to do this. No one knows what is wrong with my vehicle and this is a very safety issue. It is to a point where I am scare driving my Escape cause of this issue. The stalling and hesitation issue. I was in motion when this does this. You can having idle and it wont stall only when you put it in drive. The turbo is also losing power when this does this.

I'm driving and my vehicle is stalling and having hesitation to get going again. It stalls three or four times before it wants to run correctly. I talked to the dealer and they said my car VIN. Number is not on the recall list and theres many cars like mine that are on the recall list. My car is actually moving when it stalls on me. There are times when I am in the middle of the street and it stalls on me where I can get hit or killed.

I purchased my vehicle in July of 2018 from murfreesboro Volkswagen. 2 months after I purchased once a month the low coolant light comes on and when I add a little coolant to it the light goes out. But once a month you have to add coolant to it.

The vehicle will randomly stall out while driving about 10 miles an hour without warning. It's butters like it's out of fuel the engine shakes violently and then turns off. Once the car sits until the engine gets completely cool it will run normal. Sometimes it takes a thousand miles sometimes it takes 10. It stalls under different circumstances but will not stall if it's in park idling. As soon as you put it in drive it shifts into second and then stalls. Taking it to several places and it's never acted up when they took it for a test drive so no one can figure out what's wrong with it. It is a huge safety concern if I pull out onto a highway and the car stalls I could potentially being a fatal crash. Here is the youtube video of the exact same situation, in the comments it's suggest replacing a fuel rail pressure sensor. The sensor has been replaced. Still experiences the same issue. Https://youtu.be/cnhrg4peoru. I've been experiencing this issue on and off for the past 6 months. It's the only vehicle my wife and I own and we are afraid to take our child anywhere due to this issue.

Car has check engine light on for coolant bypass valve needing replaced. I am going through coolant quicker than it should, and the engine light for overheating comes on about once a month. The part has been part of a recall for later models of my car, but not mine.

My 2013 Ford Escape had an engine fire in Nov 2018. What happened matches a recall Ford had on a coolant leak causing an oil lead causing the fire. I contacted Ford asking for a refund for my repairs because it matched the recall. They are telling me no because my car was not listed in recall. I asked if it was possible that there were cars not listed on the recall, but had the problem and was told yes. Asked how I could have I case looked into again for possible payment and was told to contact the NHTSA, which is what I am doing.

While driving my vehicle on a near-zero temperature morning approximately 1/4 mile from leaving my garage, my vehicle went into "limp mode" and set two obd codes P2560/ P1299. Meaning with no warning my speed went from 40 mph to less than 3 mph. No other vehicle was behind me to cause an accident. There is a recall for my engine for 2014 Ford Escapes but none for a 2013. This is a known coolant sensor problem. On a major highway, this has caused many known accidents. There is no warning to get to a safe place.

Vehicle "serviced" for safety recall 13S12 on July 22nd 2017 at Ford dealership service center in tulsa, ok vehicle in service center for 7 days when the work order called for 2 days. Vehicle never gave any indication of low coolant engine temperature would be high upon starting the vehicle in the mornings. Vehicle would stall and die regularly. Vehicle stalled and lost power on highway 03/02/19 and ceased completely requiring a tow to Ford dealership. Awaiting diagnosis from service department. Experiencing localized overheating of the engine cylinderhead which may cause cracks that could allow oil to leak. This is the exact reason for the recall and Ford has failed to repair the vehicle correctly. I have been driving an unsafe vehicle and using it to commute my family. Ford should take ownership and make this right for all owners experiencing these issues it is a danger to personal safety.

Engline light comes on due to coolant leak. Leak has been fixed and continues to overheat the engine. Most of the coolant container, valves and everything else has been fixed still it continues. Something is very wrong. The car is stationery, just after starting it says coolant is low and engine light is on. I have poured money into this car for coolant issues for the past year, and it is still happening.

Car milage 11500 fuel pump making weird noise and then causing car to stall seems to happen at idle when coming to a slower stop. I was told it was the fuel pump 5 months ago when it happened the first time. Also was told from the dealer that there is some issues with the fuel module that causes the pump to fail. I am taking this in tomorrow to rectify. Must be the fuel module after all.

The engine has stalled twice in the last few weeks while I was driving on the road. The first time is stalled it was in the middle of an intersection (I was able to coast to shoulder) and it would not start up right away. My mechanic replaced an 02 sensor, but within a week it stalled again, this time as I drove on a city street. This time it restarted after I pulled over.

My 2013 Ford Escape constantly is losing antifreeze somewhere... I don't know if its leaking out and evaporating on the engine or what... but all of a sudden my engine temp light will come on and I will find that I am extremely low on antifreeze.... I talked with the dealership and they said is has no open recalls, but I do see that this exact year had an identical recall done

I have a 2013 Ford Escape with 73K miles. Last week as I pulled into my driveway, the low coolant light came on when coolant was added it drained out of the water pump onto the driveway. Apparently Ford is the only resource to fix this issue. They also had to replace the timing belt as it had been contaminated. This repair came to $1600. I have also seen many complaints on several on line forums where folks are having the same issue.
