1. mis-firing causing the entire vehicle to rock, seen mainly when the engine is in gear with the break engaged at a stop signal. 2. sudden over-revving seen on the tachometer. 3. the over-revving usually precedes the engine temperature spiking into the critical area. This is most likely to happen on inclines. Pulling over, shutting down the engine allowing it to cool down for 10-15 minutes, then everything is fine. I have learned to watch for the over-revving, then apply the brake to stop the over-revving. Then has allowed me to keep the over-heating in check.

My 2013 Ford Escape has stalled several times while driving, only to restart again and seem fine. Recently it stalled and would not start up.

- Verona, PA, USA

I have driven this 2013 Escape for 2.5 years. We have 34,838 miles on it. In the past year the following issues have arisen. 1) heat sensor has gone bad, warning lights and bells signaling a serious problem, as the car shuts down. Car will not start. Replaced twice in 8 months. 2) left passenger door will not close - latch issue as stated in NHTSA recall 16V643. 3) in the past two weeks, the car will stall without any warning. Not overheating. Computer diagnostics show no problem. This has happened while driving on the highway, residential driving with frequent stop signs, pulling onto the highway, in parking lots, a short trip usually does not produce the problem, however, if we are running errands and make more than one (1) stop, we will definately experience the stall during the drive home. Car will coast to a stop, no indication from gauges of any engine issues. Car hesitantly restarts. We proceed with extreme caution, as we do not know when it will stall again, and in what traffic situation. It is at the dealer to have 3 recalls addressed, and they will 'determine' if they can identify the reason for the stall. I have taken the car to another mechanic, who did not get to drive the car until a few hours after I dropped it off. Of course, diagnostic testing produced no results and the mechanic drove the car once, for ten minutes - stall did not occur. Noted that this issue has been record with NHTSA 40 times, and a recall has not been issued. This is a safety hazard. In response to question below, "when did this happen?", I am provided the most recent date: 08/19/2018. (it happens daily). I contact the dealer last week and was told to bring it in 08/20.

When driving on a highway the vehicle suddenly slowed down and the throttle did not work. I pulled off, shut the engine and restarted the car. It then ran ok. The same thing happened 2 other times - as if the gas pedal did not work. I saw on internet that Escapes has a history of throttle problems, including my year. I took it to the Ford dealer in columbia mo and they said, based on the VIN #, that my car was supposedly not affected by this throttle issue. They said they could do nothing but charge me to replace the electronic throttle control. This is wrong. I could get seriously injured if this happens again but Ford takes no responsibilty for a known problem.

While driving down the road the smell of gas became very strong. I was able to pull over and looking under the car you could see fuel pouring from the engine compartment. I took a video of this to show the dealer. I was able to get the vehicle to the dealer as I was about a mile away. The tech determined that the fuel jumper hose was bad and needed replaced. I asked them if my vehicle was part of the recall that dealt with this exact issue and part, they said no. The recall was for Escapes built out of the louisville, ky plant up to July 11, 2012, mine was built on July 30, 2012 from the louisville, ky plant. Coincidence, I don't think so. Fords words from the dealer is they are washing their hands of this and then charged me almost $300 to fix what is a known issue with these vehicles. Not even a day later (18 hours) after picking up the car my vehicle overheats and is pouring radiator fluid on the ground. The dealer towed it back to the shop and is looking at it now. I know there is a recall for this as well, how much do you want to bet my vehicle is just outside this recall like the other one. This is crap and I think Ford is aware that the problems pertaining to these recalls extends past the dates they have listed. Please investigate this.

This has happened now (2) separate times a month apart. While driving down the road at 70-75 mph the vehicle will loose power and tell me to pull over. I am not able to restart vehicle and the engine temperature will spike to hot. This all happens in a matter of seconds with little or no time to react and pull vehicle to a safe spot. There has been radiator fluid pouring over the engine on both times this has happened and is now costing me a lot of money to fix. I feel that this is an issue with the Escape in general and not with just mine.

I have already submitted one statement. I am just wondering why my vehicle wasn't included on the recalls listed below when it sounds like the exact kind of problem I have been having with my vehicle. When started it doesn't take off and get up to speed without hesitation and stalling. And when I do get up to speed it loses power at the most inopportune time I have been in several near accidents due to the engine not running properly. The codes that have been coming up. And the check engine suggestions. Have been tested by four different mechanics none of which could fall find a problem till recently. And I'm being told that the turbo boost code is been caused by faulty wiring which is happened to be totally replaced. As per my other statement I am having it repaired tomorrow but not being reimbursed. And if other 2013 Ford Escape drivers have had this issue there may be some unrecorded desk due to the engine stalling on the highway and the inconsistent running up the engine when these codes pop up. The codes are also sporadic as I said in my other statement. One time you turn the car on and have a problem shut it off and the next time the codes are cleared. I have been living with this daily for a month

Engine light and service engine soon message appeared. Car stalling and won't accelerate. Took to victory Ford in Kansas City after 5 hours they couldn't figure out what the problem was other than replacing the sensor. Hundred and $69 for the diagnosis. I was out of town so baby. Did it all the way back home had a local dealership put the sensor in. Another $74.. in the meantime engine code would sporadically disappear. And reappear period for no apparent reason. Had the local dealership check the code again keeps reading turbo problems. They're Ford machine was down so I took it to a dealership in the next town. Specific coding showed that is a wiring and splice problem. In the meantime I've almost been run over several times because the car won't accelerate when the code is thrown. If there's a problem with the wiring harness it should have been covered under a recall which I've been told it is not. And tomorrow dealership is replacing all of the splicing and wiring for another $450. I'm afraid that the problem may have caused other issues. But won't know until after the original problem is fixed. I feel like a couple of the wiring issues that have been recalled already should have included this. And forward should have to reimburse me for my cost since this is obviously a manufacture problem and not normal wear and tear when car is in motion there is a whirring sound I've been told is due to the electrical problem.

This happened 2X in my 2013 Ford Escape. When I pressed on the gas pedal there was no response. Luckily I happened to be in safe areas when this happened. I had to shut down and restart the car in order to drive it. I brought it into the dealership and was told the throttle body needed to be replaced for $1800. I commute 120 miles a day - I cannot afford to be in an unsafe car with my children.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. While driving 40 mph, the contact noticed that the "coolant low service required" and "service engine" warning indicators illuminated. Also, the vehicle began to stall. The contact drove to a fuel station and bought coolant for the vehicle. After adding the coolant with the vehicle parked for no more than five minutes, the contact started the vehicle. The "coolant low service" warning message was no longer illuminated; however, the "service engine" indicator was still illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The next day, the contact drove the vehicle to sames Ford (6001 san dario ave, Laredo, tx 78041) where it was diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The dealer repaired the water pump, but the failure recurred three weeks later. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to continue to work with the dealer. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a total of three times to have the water pump, coolant box, and radiator hose repaired. The vehicle was not repaired and the failures still occurred. There were no recalls associated with the vehicle. The contact planned to take the vehicle back to the dealer today. The failure mileage was 55,000.

Our 2013 Ford Escape sel has been stalling out while driving. Our VIN was not included in the previous recall but the symptoms ate exactly as described in 2.0 liter recall. This event happens every couple days sometimes twice a day. It tends to happen shortly after starting and merging/turning from a stop/intersection. We've taken it to a Ford dealer but they weren't able to fix it. Seems like a big safety issue to stall while driving.
