2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

VEHICLE STARTED LOSING ANTIFREEZE NO LEAK WAS FOUND. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NOW THE ENGINE IS GONE. LEAKED COOLANT TO THE ENGINE FORD SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES BUT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR TWICE IN A YEAR. BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO AND HAVE SMELLED BURNING SINCE. TURBO WAS REPLACED DUE TO INTERNAL OIL LEAK. NOW CAR OVER HEATS AND HAVE TO ADD COOLANT WEEKLY. SMOKE COMES UP THROUGH HOOD ON OCCASION. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS OR TELL ME WHY I CAN SMELL BURNING AND SEE SMOKE. SAID COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL BUT VIN WASN'T FLAGGED) BUT HOW IS THAT GOING TO FIX ADDING COOLANT WEEKLY? FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF COOLING SYSTEMS SINCE 2010 AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 80MPH WHEN THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECEASED DRASTICALLY AND SUDDENLY TO ABOUT 10MPH. A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED STATING 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK. SELECT P.' I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT. TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS NORMAL AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWN ON THE DASH (ENGINE LIGHT, GAS LIGHT, ETC).

CAR STARTS TO SPUTTER THEN JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. THIS IS NOW THE 9TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A MAIN ROADWAY.

CODE P0741 (TORQUR CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE STUCK OFF) COMES UP. TRANSMISSION SLAMS WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE AND THEN ALMOST STALLS. BUT SHIFTS AND DRIVES FINE

2013 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INOPERABLE DOOR CODE ON DRIVERS DOOR AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE THE HANDLE ABOVE THE DOOR TO GET IN THE VEHICLE, IT SNAPPED. THE CONSUMER FELL TO THE GROUND AND BROKE HER FOOT. ALSO, THE INSTUMENT PANEL AND CRUISE CONTROL WERE INOPERABLE. *JS

MY COOLANT LEVELS BECOME LOW ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS. I'M ALERTED BY MY DASH LIGHT, I FILL THEN CHECK FOR LEEKS. NO VISIBLE LEEKS BUT COOLANT KEEPS NEEDING REFILLING. I HAVE ALMOST OVERHEATED ONCE AND CAR WHEN INTO LIMP MODE UNTIL GOT DOWN TO A REASONABLE TEMP. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES IF FEAR I'LL BE STRANDED BECAUSE OVERHEATED.

TRANSMISSION WAS MESSED UP WHEN I BOUGHT OUT OF A DEALERSHIP I PAYED 4,000 TO FIX IT AND GET IT REBUILT FOR IT TO FAIL AGAIN.

IN JANUARYAND FEBRUARY OF 2019 I TOOK MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE TO SONORA FORD IN SONORA,CA BECAUSE IT STARTED STALLING ON ME. IT HAPPENED USUALLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING 50 TO 100 FEET AND THEN IT WOULD START TO SPUTTER AND DIE. I GOT NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT SEEMS TO DO IT EVERY TWO OR THREE STOPS. SONORA FORD CHECKED IT AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHECK IT LATER THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN THE MANIFOLD BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TERRET DOWN TO FIND OUT. THEY SAID I WHAT IS MISSING A BOLT IN MY MANIFOLD GASKET. THE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS REPLACED BUT AFTER ONE WEEK IT WAS STILL WAS STALLING. I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DROVE IT HOME TO HIS HOUSE WHILE IT WAS HOOKED UP TO SOME MACHINEAND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT HOME AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE STALLING SEEMED TO STOP ON ITS OWN UNTIL NOVEMBER 2020 NOW IT'S STALLING AGAIN. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKED UP MY CAR AND FOUND THAT THERE'S BEEN TROUBLE FOR YEARS WITH THIS CAR STALLING BUT SONORA FORD DID NOT BOTHER TO TELL ME THIS. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AS I PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLED BUT YESTERDAY I HAD MY TWO YOUNGER GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT SEEM TO BE FINE AND I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC, AFTER ABOUT 20 YARDS IT STALLED AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I AM SENDING YOU THIS EMAIL ON A SATURDAY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON TUESDAY, THE 8TH OF DECEMBER FOR MY 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE AND I PLAN ON TELLING THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ABOUT WHAT TO DO TO HAVE THEM HELP ME.THANK YOU

LOSS OF COOLANT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 45 DAYS. NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKINF AND A PRESSURE TEST DID NOT SHOW ANY NON VISIBLE LEAKS. YET I HAVE TO REFILL AFTER A LOW COOLANT ERROR AS STATED. A GOOGLE SEARCH FOUND QUITE A FEW OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2013 MODEL.
