Since buying my Escape brand new with 1 mile on it, it has been plagued with issues, engine shuts off while driving can be going 30 mph or 70 mph, while driving on the interstate at 70 bad smell from catalytic converter seeps in through vents. Passenger side tire wall blew while turning out of a parking lot. License plate light out and unable to remove to change. Dealership has had car several times claiming nothing is wrong with it. Radio keeps saying "update" dealership claims it's my phone (my phone has no updates due) brakes make terrible noise when reverse breaking. A little over 11,000 miles and transmission keeps slipping but dealership claims nothing is wrong, also car does not want to start half the time. Usb for phone cord in front does not want to stay connected, and back port for car charger overheated and caused my daughter burns on her hand. My daughter was driving it and it stranded her on side of road and wouldn't start, had to shut off, take out key and let sit to restart but dealership claims nothing is wrong. Overall the disappointment with the 2019 Escape is high. Something needs to be done further to investigate these claims of engine shutting off and other issues.

While turning right slowly and gradually toward a parking place, with my foot off of the throttle and coasting, the car accelerated suddenly. I immediately hit the brakes and barely avoided a crash into the other car at the curb. Very unsettling!

While operating the vehicle at approximately 70mph on the interstate I noticed that all instrument panel lighting, gauges, and display screens went out. The gauge needles returned to their 'home' positions. There was an error message on the main touch screen that said: Network communication failure. Worried, I took the next available exit and found a parking lot to investigate. I immediately tried to shut the engine off, figuring that if I completely shut the car down the system would somehow correct itself after a 'reboot' of the the PCM and BCM. I quickly realized that I was in trouble, the engine would not shut off. The vehicle is equipped with a 'smart keyless start system' but no matter how many times I would try pushing the button. Even though the car operated properly after the symptoms commenced I find it doubtful that all of the car's safety features would have operated as designed, if needed. If I would have gotten into in accident at the time the car was experiencing these problems would the safety restraint system work properly and deploy the applicable air bags"?? would the 'auto fuel pump shutdown' do its job if needed??? also, what if the vehicle caught fire at this time and I could not shut off the car??" not safe!!!
