THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT THEN ILLUMINATED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD STALLING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES SINCE THEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM ONLY IN THE JOINTS OF MY WHEEL BEARINGS. TWO WEEKS LATER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT MY CAR. WHEN I LOOKED BACK THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK MY VEHICLE OUT. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR. IT WAS HARD TO SHIFT MY GEARS. I TRIED TO DRIVE OFF BUT MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE NO FASTER THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR WITH ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO THE GROUND. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. I FOUND OUT FROM A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. NO WARRANTY IS AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND NOW I'M CATCHING THE BUS WHILE PAYING A CAR NOTE. PLEASE HELP. I DON'T HAVE 2500 TO FIX THIS. IT'S TOO MANY RECALLS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US.

COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. WHILE ON MOTION ENGINE OVER HEAT AND MADE THE CAR SHAKE . FROM THAT TIME NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE.. COOLANT LEVEL GOES LOW UNTIL TANK GOES EMPTY . NO ALERT GIVING WHEN COOLANT DROP OFF LEVELS , AT THE SAME TIME OIL LEVELS INCREASE.....

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 ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS A LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT AND OVERHEATS TO EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES. THEN THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL AS I'M DRIVING IT. THIS WAS PART OF A RECALL OF OTHER FORD ESCAPES BUT SOMEHOW MY CAR WAS NOT ADDED TO THIS LIST.

WHEN I START MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE LIGHT WILL DISPLAY SAYS STEERING PROBLEM AND WILL NO MOVE INTO REVERSE. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN THEN IT WILL SHIFT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR ABOUT A FEW DAYS AND WILL NOT COME ON FOR ABOUT SEVERAL WEEKS. I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN 2019. I ALSO NOTICED THIS VEHICLE HAS 15 RECALLS. JUST A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
