My 2013 Ford Escape requires a complete upgrade of the egr system due to coolant leaks. Ford Escapes build at the louisville plant already have a recall in place for this issue - recall #17S09. My vehicle's VIN number verifies, per Ford, that my vehicle was build in December 2012 at the louisville plant; however, the recall was initiated for vehicles built beginning in February 2013. My vehicle is experiencing the same issues as the recall and was built at the same plant so I am requesting that the recall date be moved back to include 2012 Ford Escapes.

Stalls after starting... the car will start just fine but a few seconds or minutes later will stall once I am already on the road. Also if sitting with out running for a while car will stall and turn off. In traffic this is also an issue, freeway closed one time and had to sit in standing traffic in hwy and car just turned off. Several times when pulling out of driveway or the scariest part a shooing strip parking lot onto a busy feeder road the car will stall and turn off.

My car started showing engine overheating and when I took it in to dealer they confirmed a crack leaking fluid into engine. Recall work done in 2014 was to avoid this from happening and now they are telling me I have to buy a new $6000 engine to have it run again. They won't cover it under their recall. I wrote the BBB but they refuse to honor it because I didn't buy an extended warranty. The car just turned 6 yrs old. I'm the only owner and purchased it new.

As I was pulling out of a parking lot and starting to press on the gas pedal the car completely stopped and wouldnt move. The gas pedal was no longer working. The car did not shut off just completely stopped.

The vehicle while in motion on a city street suddenly decelerated and goes at a very slow speed. The accelerator will not move the car forward or faster. We have been told by a mechanic that it may be an issue with the shifter cable bushing. There was a recall: 18S20 but when I inquired with Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 they stated the VIN to my car was not on recall. Referred me to NHTSA or a Ford dealer directly. I do not understand if the vehicle is the year and model why my car is excluded from this recall

While driving at any speed the car will suddenly lose power and shut down. This most recently happend while going 60 mph on the freeway. This has happend 3 times in 2 weeks while driving. Sound Ford says they can not identify the problem.

Vehicle repeatedly stalls after starting the vehicle and taking off. The vehicle will start and then I begin driving and it will shutter, lose acceleration ability, and stall out. Then I have to put the vehicle in park in the middle of the road or parking lot and restart. Sometimes it starts after a little delay just fine, and other times I had happened back to back two to three times. No warning lights remain. I also had coolant leak occur. Just got engine hoses, sensors, a new fuel pump in hopes of fixing the coolant leak and the stalling. Too soon to tell if the coolant problem is gone, but stalling is still occurring! feels extremely unsafe in a vehicle that randomly stalls out while driving.

Car caught fire while being driven

The coolant keeps getting low. I had a pressure test done with no issue found. The dealership told me everything was fine, however I have to keep adding coolant about every 10-14 days. I have done some internet searching since my local dealership was no help. I found there was a recall for 2013 Ford Escapes due to a coolant issue but my vehicle never received a recall. The sticker inside the door has a manufacture date of 8/2012.

Coolant level drops quickly, but there is no steam or puddle visible. Car overheats. It should be covered under safety recall 17S09, but 2013 Ford Escapes are not included. Our car has a 1.6 litre ecoboost engine & was built at the louisville plant. Ford also identified coolant and overheating issues with the 1.6L ecoboost engine for 2013 Escapes and has issued recalls. However, using the VIN search, none of the 2013 or 2014 model recalls covered this vehicle. It is clear that there is a significant problem with the 1.6L Escape engines and this particular vehicle exhibits all the same issues identified in the 2013 and 2014 recalls, but yet somehow is not technically covered by any of the recalls. This has been an ongoing problem for approx 2 yrs.
