2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

CAR WOULD HAVE HESITATION AND STALL WHILE IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON (P1450). ALSO HAD VIBRATION FROM FUEL TANK AND/OR FUEL CAP. FORD DEALER SAID HAS TO DUE WITH EVAPORATOR PURGE VALVE. SAID HAS SEEN THIS ON 'LOTS OF ESCAPES FROM 2013-2014'. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO SYMPTOMS BEFOREHAND.

WHEN IT GETS COLD MY VEHICLES RUNS THROUGH COOLANT LINE WATER AND THEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN IT GETS JUST LOW ENOUGH. TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A LEAK. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT GETS COLD. ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS A COOLANT LEAK WHICH RESULTED IN A WATER PUMP AND HOSE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2013 1.6L FORD ESCAPES HAD WHEN THEY WERE RECALLED. I HAVE 66,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND HOSE BECAUSE OF A COOLANT LEAK.

2013 FORD ESCAPE SEL 08/12 STALLING PROBLEMS. STALLED 4 TIMES ON A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY. HESITATED TO RESTART THEN WOULD STALL OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. CALLING FORD DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF IT'S CIVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO BEING BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALER

THE VEHICLE IS LOOSING COOLANT. START RUNS AND AFTER A COUPLE MILES SHUTS OFF. WILL START BACK UP AND DRIVE. FORD RECALLED THE 2013 FORD ESCAPES MADE UP TO AUGUST 31,2012. MINE WAS MADE IN AUGUST 2012. TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SMOKES WHITE SMOKE WHEN FIRST STARTED.

THE FUEL FEED HOSE CRACKED. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT, BUT JUST NOT MY VIN. I WANTED.TO REPORT THAT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND SEE IF I COULD GET REIMBURSED. IT WAD A VAD CAR DAY. STARTED WITH THE FUEL SMELL, DEAD BATTERY, TO MY BRAKES GOING OUT!!@ THE CIST FOR REPAIRS ARE $263.05. THANKX.

CAR CUTS OFF UNEXPECTANTLY AND TRANSMISSION LITE COMES ON THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND TRANSMISSION PEOPLE SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION

CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC WHEN IDLING IN RIGHT TURN LANE. HAZARDS TURNED ON AND COASTED TO SIDE. PRESSED POWER BUTTON AGAIN AND CAR STARTED. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. CAR POWERED DOWN AGAIN. CAR STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE 10 MILES WITHOUT ISSUE TO DESTINATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 MPH, MY VEHICLE JUST STALLED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER BUCKLING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT. ADDITIONALLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT ALARM WAS INOPERABLE AND DID NOT CHIME WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT FASTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *BF *JS
