2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

VEHICLE REPEATEDLY MAKES NOISES WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS, DRIVING OVER BUMPS, OR PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. THE SOUND COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH STALLING OR THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OF MOST OFTEN, IF I HAVE BEEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, OR STOP SIGN AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND LOSE POWER AND I WILL HAVE TO START IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE USUALLY BEEN ON A CITY STREET OR EVEN AFTER TURNING INTO OR GETTING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS ON AN INCLINE. I USED TO THINK THIS WAS RELATED TO LOW FUEL, BUT IT RECENTLY HAPPENED WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, WHEN STOPPED, AND WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY OR THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. FLAMMER FORD OF SPRING HILL (3335 COMMERCIAL WAY, SPRING HILL, FL 34606, (352) 686-8255) QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF APPROXIMATELY $800. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,700.

INTERMITTENT STALLING OF MY 1.6 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. IT HAPPENS EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS AND ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE ABOUT 100 FEET. THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND DIE. YOU START IT BACK UP AND IT WILL DISPLAY LOSS OF POWER AND DIE AGAIN. NORMALLY THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS PROPERLY. IT WILL THEN NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR 3-4 DAYS. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL NORMALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AFTER GONG TO THE STORE AND WHEN LEAVING YOU PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IT WILL STALL MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK, IT TOOK FOUR ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENTIRE SOLENOID EVAPORATION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE BEING COMPLETED WITH MANUFACTURER APPROVED PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018 FROM MURFREESBORO VOLKSWAGEN . 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED ONCE A MONTH THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I ADD A LITTLE COOLANT TO IT THE LIGHT GOES OUT. BUT ONCE A MONTH YOU HAVE TO ADD COOLANT TO IT.

AT LOW SPEEDS (<20 MPH) ENGINE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. OCCURRED 3 TIMES--ONCE ON A STATE PARK ROAD, ONCE ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, AND ONCE ON AN INTERSTATE ACCESS ROAD. DEALER REPLACED "FUEL LOW PRESSURE SENSOR" AND RESET "KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND MISFIRE MONITOR" ACCORDING TO REPAIR INVOICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFT, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV AND THE SPEED TO DECELERATE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AT 68,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY ESCAPE. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WITHOUT 1ST GEAR, THE CAR WOULDN'T BUDGE. I HAD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO GO ANYWHERE.

THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S BUTTERS LIKE IT'S OUT OF FUEL THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THEN TURNS OFF. ONCE THE CAR SITS UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS COMPLETELY COOL IT WILL RUN NORMAL. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A THOUSAND MILES SOMETIMES IT TAKES 10. IT STALLS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WILL NOT STALL IF IT'S IN PARK IDLING. AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND AND THEN STALLS. TAKING IT TO SEVERAL PLACES AND IT'S NEVER ACTED UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE SO NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF I PULL OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS I COULD POTENTIALLY BEING A FATAL CRASH. HERE IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATION, IN THE COMMENTS IT'S SUGGEST REPLACING A FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED. STILL EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/CNHRG4PEORU. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE MY WIFE AND I OWN AND WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE OUR CHILD ANYWHERE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
