Driving down the freeway, started to accelerate in sport mode, heard something pop. Sounded like the clutch slipped or a belt broke. Lost most acceleration. Got off freeway to take side streets home. Had a lot of trouble accelerating up hill. Would accelerate but very slowly. Not on pace with gears. Was shifting weird. Both in D and S. took me about 4 blocks to get from 0 to 25mph.

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.

My 2013 Ford Escape SE 1.6L caught fire in motion due to a fuel leak on a city street. Brakes failed and emergency brake was used to stop and get out as smoke and flames came through the vents.

- Manassas, VA, USA

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.

When driving vehicle, the distance to "E" gas hands continue to count down while at stop light. Also, from my house to my job which is approximately 17 miles, according to the gas mileage, it shows that I traveled 30+ miles. My gas hand goes from 3/4 tank to less than half of a tank of gas and it constantly losing fuel while driving or sitting mobil. When sitting at a stop light, the distance to E gas hand continues to countdown. I've watched my distance to "E' hand go from 242 miles to 'E' from my home to 188 miles to 'E' today May 15, 2019this has been happening since February 2019 but has since gotten worse.

While driving when I stop the car began stalling. I would have to buy the car in park and start it. I would then have to put the car in neutral press on the gas and put the car in drive to be able to move. Now when I start the car and put the car in gear (forward or reverse) the car stalls.

- Concord, CA, USA

I have been having trouble with stalling or the car shutting off while driving at low speed of most often, if I have been sitting at a red light, or stop sign and I try to accelerate, the car will stall and lose power and I will have to start it all over again. I have usually been on a city street or even after turning into or getting out of my driveway, which is on an incline. I used to think this was related to low fuel, but it recently happened when the tank was full. This is really dangerous as I have stalled in traffic before.
