2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

TWO DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STARTED MISSING, NO POWER. GOT TO EDGE OF ROAD, SHUT CAR OFF. RE STARTED AND IT WAS FINE. TODAY (1/10/2021 POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE IN LINE TO GET COFFEE. MADE IT HOME BARELY, SHUT OFF CAR, NOW IT'S WORKING.

DANGEROUS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THIS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO PULL OVER, STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. FREQUENTLY ONCE IT STALLS, IT IS NOT SAFE TO PULL BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT USUALLY STALLS AGAIN. I REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALLS AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS.

THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COOLANT LINE ISSUES RESULT IN THE CAR STOPPING IMMEDIATELY NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS STATED ISSUE I DO NOT FEEL LIKE MY CAR WAS FIXED PROPERLY BEFORE BUYING IT AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE REOPENED AND CONSIDERED AN HAZARDOUS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED, LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNSAFELY, THERE IS LITTLE TO NO WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF IF YOU CAN'T PULL OVER IN TIME. IT WILL END UP HURTING PEOPLE IF IT ISN'T RESOLVED. THERE IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OPEN FOR IT, I DON'T WANT THAT I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE SAFE. I ACTUALLY LOVE IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES I ALWAYS HAVRE COOLANT WITH ME

I HAVE A FORD 2013 ESCAPE. IT FIRST STATRED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. I HAD TO REPLACE 4 IN THE PASS 2 YEARS. NOW THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP SAYING FAULTY. THE BULB POPS OUT . I HAVE TO PUSH IT BACK INTO PLACE. THEN ITS OUT AGAIN. NOW THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS FAULTY . PLUS THE TRANS MISSON IS FAULTY OR EVERYTIME I SHIFT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE IT CUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN IT MOVES. WHEN I GET TO THE SPEED 50 OR 60MPH THECAR TREMBLES. IM AFRAID THAT I MAY WRECK.

FEBRUARY 2019 I HAD MY WATER PUMP, WATER GASKET, AND HEATER HOSE REPLACED BY FORD BECAUSE THEY FOUND COOLANT PUMP AND HEATER HOSES WERE LEAKING. BEFORE THEY FIXED THIS ISSUES I WOULD SMELL A HORRIBLE SMELL WHEN I USED MY HEATER. LATELY, I HAVE BEEN SMELLING THE SAME SMELL FROM THE COOLANT LEAKING WHEN I USE MY HEATER, THIS SMELL GIVES ME HEADACHES EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DECEMBER 29TH 2020. I HAD TAKEN IT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK THE CODES. THEY DETECTED THE CODE P26B7 -REPLACE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE AND THE SMELL IS INCREASING WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR AND USE MY HEATER. NOW I AM GOING TO BE OUT MORE MONEY FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT LOOKS LIKE TO BE HAPPENING FOR YEARS NOW. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE 1.6L ' THE COOLANT LIGHT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT INDICATOR HAS BEEN COMING ON. I FIRST WOULD FILL THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WITH ANTIFREEZE AND A MONTH OR SO LATER THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN. I WOULD REPEAT THE PROCESS. I BROUGHT IT IN TO BAY STATE FORD IN EASTON, MASSACHUSETTS AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY WATER PUMP WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK. ($1,500). I HAD THEM REPAIR IT. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND A MONTH OR 2 LATER THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON (COMPRESSION TESTS) AND INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND THAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AIR POCKETS THAT CAUSED IT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AGAIN AND WITHIN 1 MONTH THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. AGAIN, THEY DO DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THERE WAS NO LEAK AND BLAMED AIR POCKETS. I TOOK IT BACK AND WITHIN 1 TO 2 WEEKS THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THEY LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND DID THE SAME DIAGNOSTICS AND NOW TELL ME THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL LEAK AND THAT IT COULD BE WITHIN THE ENGINE AND WANTED MY APPROVAL TO PERFORM MORE DIAGNOSTICS AT MY EXPENSE AS THEY WERE NOT SURE WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM INTERNALLY. THIS COULD COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AS THEY THINK IT COULD BE THE ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING COOLANT INTERNALLY AND I ALREADY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP. THEY TOLD ME MY CHOICES ARE TO TRADE UP TO A NEW CAR OR PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE IF INDEED THAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO ME. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT I HAD A 2.0 ENGINE. (I DO NOT HAVE A 2.0 ENGINE, I HAVE A 1.6L ENGINE). RECALL NUMBER 12V551000 IS AN ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING ISSUE AND IT SOUNDS THAT MY FORD ESCAPE IS PART OF OR SHOULD BE PART OF THIS RECALL.
