2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY, ON A CITY STREET, APPROACHING INTERSECTION, WHILE IN MOTION. NO WARNING. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART CAR. AFTER PUSHING CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC, CAR RESTARTED. DROVE CAREFULLY TO REPAIR SHOP, WHICH WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. DROVE CAR TO FORD DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS FAULTY FUEL VAPOR CAP. DEALER ADVISED THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MANY OF THESE CARS.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2013 ESCAPE FOR APPROX. 4.5 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT WITH APPROX. 40K MILES AND IT IS NOW AT 80K. FOR THE LAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN ACTING AS THOUGH IT WILL STALL, THE RPMS WILL DROP, THE CAR WILL SHUDDER THEN RECOVER MOST OF THE TIME. IT HAS ACTUALLY SHUT OFF TWICE, ONCE IN A PARKING SPACE WHILE IDLING AND THE OTHER AT A STOP LIGHT WHILE IDLING. THE PLACES THE STALL ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR THE MOST IS AT STOP LIGHT, IDLING IN PARKING SPACES, SITTING IN DRIVE THROUGHS, ETC. IT HAS BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS MANAGED TO RECOVER WITHOUT LOSING TOO MUCH SPEED OR WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND DEALERSHIPS, NO ONE CAN FIND THE REASON FOR THE "STALLING". YESTERDAY, WHEN COMING OUT OF WORK IN FLAT PARKING LOT, INSTEAD OF STALLING THE VEHICLE JERKED ONCE WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THEN THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO DRIVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE INCHED FORWARD BUT DID NOTHING ELSE. I THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND DROVE IT WITHOUT ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS WORK. I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS "WORK" ENTAILS BUT FROM READING ALL THE ENTRIES, RECALLS, AND INVESTIGATIONS THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUES OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR ESCAPES.

CARS TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR! I THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY AND THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME! BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND MOVING FORWARD WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT BOTH TIMES, THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST LEFT FORD WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED WHEN IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN FORWARD MOTION, THIS TIME I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO FORD AND IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE SINCE APRIL 13TH AND TODAY IS MAY 1ST AND FORD HAS NOT RESPONDED BACK TO ME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR? I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE ON 4/30/2019 THAT IS ONLY CHARGING ME $3,100 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WITH A 2 YEAR 24,000 MILE WARRANTY AND FORD WANTED $7,400 TO PUT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR? HMMMMM WHAT WOULD YOU DO? CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD IS SLOOOOOOW TO SAY THE LEAST? IT'S BAD ENOUGH I'VE GOT A CAR WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT AND WITH AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAN FORD WANTS ME TO WAIT UNTIL WHEN TO RESPOND BACK WITH A SOLUTION?

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH OVER 120,000 MILES. I'VE HAD IT 2 YEARS. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH ABOUT 84,000 MILES ON IT .. RECENTLY MY COOLANT WOULD GO LOW AND THEN SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD SAY IT'S OVERHEATING WHEN IT ACTUALLY WASN'T CAUSING IT TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. TODAY, 04/24/2019 THE CAR STARTED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF STARTING THE CAR TO DRIVE IT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOW COME ON.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! GOT IT HOME. NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED!

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR AT IDLE THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND STALLS OUT. IT DOES COMPLETELY AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED . SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW. IT HAPPENS AFTER CITY DRIVING , HIGHWAY DRIVING OR WHILE IDLING. THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND STALLS AND WHILE DOING SO THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GASOLINE PEDAL.
