Constantly loses coolant fluid and engine stalls at times, I understand Ford has recalled this year and model for this, but they keep telling me our VIN# is not on recall list, but it is doing what they have recalled other same year same models for

- Linn, MO, USA

The car hesitates sometimes when pressing the gas, mostly from the stopped position. For instance I've been driving and stop at a stop sign, check for oncoming traffic on the cross street(which does not have a stop sign/signal), when it is safe to proceed I press the gas to cross the intersection and the car slowly rolls out into the intersection and then finally after rolling for a few seconds will pick up and go. This happens while I'm pressing down on the gas pedal all the way. It's very dangerous while trying to cross a street with oncoming traffic. I've tried lifting my foot and pressing back down when the car doesn't move like it's supposed to and it doesn't work. It's only started doing this in the last year or so maybe and it doesn't happen every time, but very scary when it does happen, especially when I have my kids in the car. I've also had it happen when I've been on the freeway and have had to slow down from taking an exit onto another freeway and when trying to get back up to speed and it like it takes it a minute for the car to realize it's supposed to be accelerating.

Vehicle computer reports that vehicle is overheating and places the car into 'limp' mode. Occurs while driving or as soon as it is place in drive after vehicle it has been siting overnight (in 60 degree conditions, did not happen at all during the summer). First occurrence was Dec 2017 when the vehicle was being driven on a highway (55 mph) lost power and 'limped' to a parking lot. Needed to be towed to repair shop. Local Napa repair shop did a full review and found nothing wrong. Did not occur at all over the summer, latest was 10/5/18. Vehicle was sitting over night (60 degrees), vehicle started, reversed from driveway and once in drive it entered 'limp' mode stating that it was overheating.

- Bel Air, MD, USA

Engine will shut off in the middle of driving. If I try to turn it on it'll happen 3-4 times until it works fine again. I'm scared to drive it more than 5 minutes. It's been happening for weeks & I've taken it to several mechanics that cannot find the issue.

- Bridgeton, NJ, USA

My 2013 Ford Escape has a cracked engine block, which caused the engine to overheat and shut down while in motion on the highway. I had noticed that it needed frequent refills of the engine coolant recently -- three times in one month (two of them in service shops). This pattern is similar to a 2012 recall that my VIN isn't part of, so this makes me highly suspicious. The consumer referenced NHTSA action number PE18007. The consumer stated the engine was replaced. The vehicle began exhibiting signs of failure again. The coolant needed to be replaced more frequesntly that it should be.

Engine power and vehicle speed decreased without warning while driving down the road creating an extremely unsafe situation for me and my child. We were driving (not turning) approximately 30 mph through town when there was a sudden loss of power and the service engine light came on. Tried to restart the engine and while the car would run, it would not gain speed.

We have had this SUV for about 2 years now, change oil every 3000 mile and done had the gears in transmission go out and now not even 6 months later warnings for engine overheating turn off safely but I'm not driving it. It has been sitting for hours. I read online that this make and model had recalls about this warning and for catching fire.

- Hagerstown, MD, USA

When I come to a stop then press on the gas pedal to go the engine will rev up to about 4000 RPM's but I don't go any faster. The car will then stall for a bit. When pressing on the gas pedal to try and go it will hesitate and then finally kick in and I can continue on. This has happened driving around in the city as well as on the highway. It seems to only do this when I am going slower speeds and when I have to stop and go.

I purchased a 2013 Ford Escape in 2015 with a trade-in of my 2006 Dodge stratus. Approximately, a year in I had to purchase a battery for the vehicle that only had 38, 000 miles. In 2017 I had to put more money into the vehicle for things outside of basic ware and tear. In June I had to pay $500 on canster purge valve that should have been a recall by Ford Motor Company. Also, my window cable broke two days after I paid $500 to get the engine fixed. Currently my window remains taped up with use and it cost is $206 plus labor. As of September 24, 2018 my antifreeze was leaking and I took it to the dealership to have it fixed and I paid $542 including labor. Approximately 6 days later (September 30) my car broke down on route 51 and lebanon church rd by shutting of in the middle of the road with smoke coming from the engine. I was on my way to church with my mother who is an army veteran with dementia. The vehicle had thick smoke from the engine which continue to 45 minutes. While being stranded I had to get my car towed to my home because the tow truck driver didn't know where monroeville was located and his truck had issues shutting off too. The vehicle is not safe with major engine issues that are "all" not being fixed by the dealer or company. As of August 2018 the vehicle is on recall for replacing the shifter cable bushing on the transmission due to "roll away" concerns. These vehicles need to be pulled off the road and refunds need to be issued.

Coolant light and hot engine light came on. Car was completely empty of coolant. Filled it up and within 4 miles, totally empty. Had independent mechanic look at it. Told the water pump shaft literally cracked. No issues prior to this. Reported to Ford said there is nothing wrong and that my VIN was not included in any recall. This is bogus. Car is 5 years old with 55,000 miles. Never had issue with coolant until 2 days ago. No warning whats so ever and went from full coolant to empty within a 3 mile radius. Am I supposed to carry around cooolant with me. Driving 35 miles per hour, lights came on, immediately pulled over. Added coolant car ran normal, then lost all coolant again. Plus in addition, no one can work on this as "special tools are required" how convenient for Ford. More business for them and their service departments

Car started and I backed out of my driveway where it then stopped. I coasted to the side of the road and started the car back up, and it started normally. I drove to get my oil changed where they also filled up all my fluids. The next day my car shuddered when it started but still was able to run. 2 days later my car would not start and the low level coolant indicator came on. 30 mins later my car was able to start but my coolant level is low.

The car overheats without warning. The hot engine warning goes on and the car loses power making it unable to move. It has happened once when I was stopped at a light and another time when I tried to start it after shopping. I believe I was driving the first time it happened.
