2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT-OFF AS THE ENGINE SERVICE FAULT WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO PALM COAST FORD (1150 PALM COAST PKWY SW, PALM COAST, FL 32137) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THE CONTACT HAD THE COMPUTER SYSTEM REPLACED. A MONTH LATER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF WITH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT REMAINED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. NO ENGINE CODES HAVE APPEARED AND NONE WERE DETECTED WHEN I TOOK CAR TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP SHORTLY AFTER AN EVENT. HAS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER INITIALLY STARTING VEHICLE.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE JUST HIT 100,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTED STALLING OUT WHEN EXCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES WHEN ANALYZING IT. THEY REPLACED POINTS & PLUGS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ENGINE STALLING; THANK GOODNESS IT HAPPENED TO THE SERVICE WHEN HE TEST DROVE IT. I CAME HOME AND RESEARCHED STALLING 2013 ESCAPES, WAS SURPRISED TO SEE ALL THE PROBLEMS; NOT SURE WHAT SITES FORD USES FOR RESEARCH. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP AFTER PAYING MY $400 BILL, I NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. SO THE ESCAPE IS STILL SITTING ST THE DEALERSHIP.

MY VEHICLE STALLS/ LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS, , STALLS / LOSS OF POWER WHILE AT LOW RPM OR COMING TO A STANDSTILL , I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER CARS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NAPA FORD AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE, NAPA FORD TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY AN ISSUE WITH MY BATTERY SO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE, THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH STALLING/ LOSS OF POWER!

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK MY CAR IS STALLING OUT! I WILL START THE CAR LET IT SIT A FEW MINUTES, PULL OFF AND IN ABOUT 50 FEET OR LESS RPM GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND JUST SHUTS OFF. HAD IT LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTHING! THIS IS VERY SCARY WHILE PULLING ONTO BUSY ROADS AND NOT KNOWING IF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN OR NOT!

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 55 THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF ALMOST CAUSING A REAL BAD ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR AND A COUPLE MONTHS AND THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF 50 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO A SHOP TO GET DIAGNOSED AND NO-ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. MY 17 YEAR DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I SEEN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON MY FORD ESCAPE 2013. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER STALLED JUST SITTING STILL ALWAYS STALLED WHILE MOVING FORWARD BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 20-65

ENGINE IS LOSING COOLANT, BUT NO LEAK IS VISIBLE. ENGINE IS ALSO LOSING OIL BUT NO OIL IS VISIBLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 6/12 WHICH SHOULD MEAN IT'S IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT IT'S NOT FOR SOME REASON

VEHICLE IS TALLING INTERMITTEN WHILE STOPPED OR IDLING. PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMEN.VEHICLE STARTS BACK BUT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL WHEN STOPPING OR IDLING. THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES WITH WIRING HARNESS ISSUES. PLEASE FIGURE SOMETHING OUT SO THIS DOESN'T BECOME MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND NO MECHANIC CAN FIND AN ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP FORD!

I PULLED IN THE DRIVE WAY. PUT THE SUV IN PARK BUT MY CAR WAS STILL ROLLING. I NOTICED MY DASH SAID I WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON BUT MY GEAR SHIFTER WAS LOCKED. I THEN STARTED LOOKING UP WITH THE PROBLEM MAY BE. I WAS ABOUT TO RELEASE MY GEAR SHIFTER BUT USING THE UNLOCK WHITE LEVER UNDER THE COMPARTMENT. STILL NOTHING CHANGED MY CAR WAS STILL IN NATURAL. HAD EMERGENCY BREAK ACTIVATED TO KEEP THE CAR IN PLACE IN MY DRIVE. KEPT SEARCHING AN FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE THE TRANSMISSION CABLE BUSHING. IT WAS ALMOST MIDNIGHT SO I LEFT MY CAR OVERNIGHT WITH E BREAK ON TILL DAY LIGHT. THIS MORNING WENT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AN SURE ENOUGH IT WAS DETACHED. THE BUSHING WAS GONE. I MANUALLY BUT MY CAR IN PARK. CALLED ALL AUTO STORES AN THE INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE WITH MY YEAR MAKE AN MODEL. THEY ALSO DO NOT SELL THAT PART. I HAD MY GIRLFRIEND DRIVE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD COMPANY IN GREENEVILLE TN TO PARK MY CAR TILL TOMORROW, MONDAY MARCH 22, 2021. I HAD TO MANUALLY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THEN IN DRIVE TO GET IT THERE. PLEASE ADVISE. I PUT IN MY VIN AN DIDN'T SEE MY CAR ON THIS RECALL LIST.

WHEN IDLING THE ENGINE WILL STALL. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP BUT SOMETIMES WILL STALL AGAIN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. OFTEN THERE ISOK NO POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE.. I HAVE HAD TO PUT COOLANT IN AT LEAST TWICE IN 2 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATS AND FORCES ME TO PULL OVER. NONE OF THE GAGES INDICATE OVERHEAT.
