My Escape has stalled 2-3 times within a 12 hour window while moving. I was able to stop in the parking lot and re-start the vehicle.

Vehicle showed an overheating error light and began to stall in a parking lot. Hood was popped and coolant investigated. Coolant reservoir was empty. Owner walked to nearest store, bought coolant, and replaced coolant. Vehicle overheating light went away, but the check engine light stayed on. Vehicle was brought to Ford dealership for diagnosing. Dealership ran pressure test and checked for visible signs of leak. Dealership was unable to discover leak or issue. Nothing was replaced or fixed. Dealership told owner to just keep driving it as no issue was found. Owner drove vehicle for 2 more months. Upon getting an oil change, an independent mechanic said the coolant reservoir was empty and replaced missing coolant. Vehicle has 57,000 miles on it.

Loss of coolant at or near the reservoir low level light goes on about every 3 weeks. Mechanics have check system twice up to the firewall and have not found a leak/cause. The leak occurs both when the car is stationary or in motion as evident of the pool of coolant under the car in the driveway. This has been on going for about a year.

My fianc and I were pulling out of our driveway when the vehicle suddenly stalled and stopped completely. The vehicle was then hit by another vehicle the side airbag didn't deploy and my fianc is very lucky to be alive! it wasn't until we purchased this vehicle that we realized that this particular vehicle has had so many recalls. There also has been so many official stalling complaints that an investigation had beeen necessary! since the accident, the stalling issue has not improved but worsens and is now stalling everytime we put gas into the vehicle. It stalls and won't start again. He was driving on a major highway; upon exiting the highway the vehicle stalled and shut completely off at the highway exit ramp luckily he was able to pull the vehicle off on the shoulder or he would have been involved in yet another accident and potentially killed! Ford really needs to address this problem! these vehicles have been well maintained and from what I have read most are having this same issue from the beginning of owning the vehicle. When my fianc was injured in the first stalling accident we weren't the owners of the vehicle, my aunt was allowing us to borrow her vehicle and she recently sold it to us; now that we own the vehicle we realize that the accident could have been prevented and should have! also I understand the side airbag not deploying is another recall issue that hasn't been addressed with our SUV!

When driving this vehicle, it ser me like it is not running right, and think it is going to die on us in traffic. The front seat belt does not go back in the area where it belongs and sits on the front seat. The passenger driver side door does not close right when you open it. It will stay open until you push the handle down and then it will close and lock. We are afraid to travel long distance with the vehicle because of the way the car acts and run. We just want it fix or replace vehicle.

Sudden leak of radiator fluid and the engine light came on with extreme heat warning. Car alerted to pull over immediately, and on the road it was a risky maneuver. Towed to dealership where was informed it was a bad water pump and hoses. However it is very similar to existing recalls and complaints

I have a 2013 Ford Escape 1.6 eco boost. First issue was a faulty water cooling valve code P26B7. Replaced the valve and 2 days later the low coolant light came on. Topped off the coolant level and about 2 days later the coolant level light comes back on. My VIN isn't covered by the recall, but the symptoms are the same as multiple coolant leak recalls.

Car is stalling out at low speeds, parking lots, lights, does'nt matter if it is hot or cold outside heater on or off, the last time it stalled out I was in a 45 mile zone and just cut out on me, I got to the center turn lane and got my flashers on, I had to get it to a stop, the worst part is not being able to steer it. I got it in park and it finally restarted and I was able to pull in to parking lot. It was raining and I could see a car coming in behind me, thank god it started right backup again. Thought I had got some bad gas with water, ran the car to almost empty 2 times and put in gas treatments and the most expensive gas, didn't help. I also am getting low engine coolant even though I fill it every week. This started last winter, I don't get the warning during the summer only winter with the heater, Ford supposedly fixed this when they found a leaking hose $812 dollars later still have to add coolant and still stalling out on me. I mentioned the recall and they told me my VIN number was not included. Ford mentioned new spark plugs and air filter, the only thing is I am not getting check engine code or light, just stops. Talked with numerous mechanics and they all say if it was spark plugs etc, I would get a misfire code of some king. Changed the air filter which it was long since I done this. Looking into getting spark plugs changed but don't think that's the problem since I am not getting check engine light. Think something else is wrong

Takata recall: While my vehicle is in motion the heat is coming out normal but will start to smell like something was burning but as I slow down or come to a complete stop the car starts blowing very cool then the tempature gage moves to H then the safety light pops on showing "overheating stop safely" but the car will never show any smoking from the hood. The car has been doing this for the past month until 12/17/2018 I started the car up to warm it before I left work, and it wouldn't defrost and immediately the temperature gage moved to H and on the dash it said overheating stop safely and the car wasn't in motion neither had it warmed up properly but when the light went off I was able to drive, as I approached my destination the car started slowing down on its own and the safety light came on again that's when the burning smell started getting stronger and it wouldn't let me give the car gas to go the odometer wouldn't move pass 5miles so I stopped the car and shut it off, but then when I started it up again before work the car would allow me to shift gears but not give it gas due to the car saying it's is overheating but the vehicle has never had a leak and has not physically showed leaking on to the ground I have had oil and fluids changed by professionals and authorized dealerships like valvoline and where I purchased the car and nothing was ever reported to me of a leak any where but somehow my coolant reservoir is staying empty after being refilled. I believe the only place the fluid could be leaking is within the motor because I have parked the car in several dry spot and it showed absolutely no leaking signs.

Vehicle consistently displays low coolant warning and visual checks confirm low coolant levels. Vehicle experiences intermittent sudden overheat warnings with rapid temperature gauge rise, resulting in the vehicle stalling while in motion. Temperature bypass/diversion valve recall was performed earlier this year, but the problem persists. The last event occurred in heavy mid-town moderate speed (35mph) traffic, less than 5 minutes after start-up, and nearly resulted in loss of vehicle control.

2013 Ford Escape has been leaking coolant over the past few months. I have been filling it and the coolant low indicator continues to come on in increasing frequency. Today(12/20/2018) it came on while driving, started to shake, displayed overheating, and then stalled on the side of the road. Filled it with coolant and it was driveable again. I read that this is currently under investigation and beg that a recall will be issued to include the 2013S along with the 2014 and newer Escapes.

The car hesitate or the engine stall soon after starting, if you don't drive off immediately the car will shut off and has to be restarted. This happens on cold starts but mostly after the car has been running.

- Springfield, MA, USA

Car stalls while driving. Never happens when engine is cold. Drive the car, turn off while in a store. Then I restart the car, starts normal, then start driving again and it stalls while you are driving. After it stalls, I pull off the road if possible, then turn the key off, and back on. It starts up normal again and then no more stalling issue - until I stop at another store, and the same problem happens again, and again... only seems to happen after turning off the car for 5-30 minutes, and then try to start driving again there is a serious risk of having an accident!! when the car just dies while driving down a highway, and you have to try to pull off the road - serious risk of having a bad accident. This problem started about 6 weeks ago, and is getting worse. Happens every day now!

Two issues ' sometimes one would follow the other. Vehicle has less than 94,000 miles on it. Auto loses coolant frequently without any visible leaks. Have to replace/add coolant every couple weeks, sometimes more frequently. Vehicle would display low coolant sign and within minutes the "high temperature, please pull over safely" sign would show and temperature gauge would rise to the top and car would go into limp mode. Issue happened in different driving conditions - twice on highway, which could have been dangerous had there been a car directly behind me. Two local auto shops pointed out same recalls/tsb's and said the car should be taken to dealer. I took my car to two dealers and they said there were no recalls and could give me no valid solution to my issue. (eventually one dealer said I had a blown head gasket and blown engine and that the car was undrivable and wanted $6500 to replace them ' so we had the car towed to a local auto shop and they said the gasket/engine were just fine.).

My 2013 Ford Escape sel 1.6L stalls without warning while driving. The subject vehicles are equipped with a 1.6L gtdi (turbo) engine. The stalling happened on the highway and just after starting and putting it into drive and pushing on the acclerator. Additionally after the last stall (parking lot), the car seems to be in "limp mode" and needs towed to a service center.

- Tipton, IA, USA

Coolant leaking from unknown location with no dampness or residue found. Low coolant in the reservoir is the only indicator of loss.

- Linville, VA, USA

Leaking coolant on the engine started a fire. The dealership want to charge me over $9,000 to fix it but the trade in value is only $9-10,000. The car was in motion on the highway and started smelling antifreeze. The temperature gauge only moved a bit, but then it caught fire.
