AFTER SERVICE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, I FOUND I HARDLY HAD ANY BRAKING POWER WHEN EXITING THEIR LOT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ALMOST COAST TO A STOP. DEALER SAID IT IS THE VACUUM LINE; A $300+ SERVICE. I WAS LUCKY AS I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ENTIRE VACUUM PUMP SHEARING ON OTHER ESCAPES WHILE BEING DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT HAD ASSISTANCE WITH PLACING THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,826.

MY CAR STARTED SHOWING ENGINE OVERHEATING AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO DEALER THEY CONFIRMED A CRACK LEAKING FLUID INTO ENGINE. RECALL WORK DONE IN 2014 WAS TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY A NEW $6000 ENGINE TO HAVE IT RUN AGAIN. THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER THEIR RECALL. I WROTE THE BBB BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CAR JUST TURNED 6 YRS OLD. I'M THE ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW.

PREVIOUSLY HAD DEALER REPAIR COOLANT LEAK HOSES IN FIREWALL BUT NOT LISTED IN RECALL AS WAS FOCUS/FUSION. TOOK A WEEK TO COMPLETE. ENGINE JUST HAD A HIGH TEMP FRIDAY THE 13TH WHILE DRIVING TWO MILES ON A STRETCH AND STALLED OUT. TURNED OFF CLIMATE SYSTEM AND DROVE TO DEALER THE NEXT MORNING.

2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS BEEN STALLING OUT WHEN AT LOW RPMS, FOR EXAMPLE, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING STALL IN REVERSE AND THEN SWITCHING TO DRIVE, CAR WILL STALL OUT. IT SPUTTERS, THEN DIES OUT. I SWITCHED OUT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL FILTER AND ALSO THE LOW PRESSURE SENSOR WITH OEM PARTS AND STILL HAPPENS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I'M DOING ERRANDS AND HAVING TO TURN ON/OFF THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES IN THE DAY IT WILL EVENTUALLY START DOING THIS. AFTER SWITCHING THOSE PARTS MENTIONED ABOVE NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LOW MILEAGE. THE 'MILES TO EMPTY' GAUGE SAYS LIKE 400+ MILES WHEN IT ONLY ACTUALLY GAVE ME 190 FOR THE WHOLE TANK! THAT'S CRAZY! I HAVE NOTICED THAT FUEL GETS CONSUMED A LOT ! CAN FORD FIGURE THIS OUT? I CHECKED MY VIN BUT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONES AFFECTED BUT I KNOW IT IS. IM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE STALLS AT INTERSECTIONS. I'VE NOTICED IT'S WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW (40 MILES OR FEWER TO EMPTY)

THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING FOR MANY TIMES. THE KINGS FORD DEALER COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN STARTED

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE IT NUMEROUS TIMES. IT WILL START BACK ONCE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT HAS STALLED IN ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE IT'S NOT THROWING IN CODES.

I DON'T HAVE HEAT AND I'M LOOSING COOLANT. I AM FILLING MY COOLANT EVERY OTHER DAY.

A SMALL COOLANT RETURN LINE ON BACKSIDE OF MOTOR WAS MIS-CRIMPED CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE AND COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO MOTOR WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLING ME COOLANT WAS LOW. CAR SHUT DOWN DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURE, AND MOTOR STARTED SMOKING FROM COOLANT LEAKING ON HOT MOTOR. LUCKILY I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD SAFELY. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WASN'T AFFECTED BY PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR SAME PROBLEM AND WERE VERY RUDE ABOUT IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND LUCKILY THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS DEFECT. AGAIN THERE WAS NEVER AN INDICATION OF LOW COOLANT, JUST A SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURE RIGHT BEFORE CAR SHUT DOWN. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND STARTING TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WOULDNT MOVE. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THE CAR DID NOT SHUT OFF JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. POWER STEERING WAS NOT ENGAGED. COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY POWER STEERING RACK - ELECTRONIC - COST TO REPLACE THE RACK WAS $2000.00. FORD HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2013 EXPLORER BUT NOT THE 2013 ESCAPE.

THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND GOES AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR FASTER. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING. THERE WAS A RECALL: 18S20 BUT WHEN I INQUIRED WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-436-7332 THEY STATED THE VIN TO MY CAR WAS NOT ON RECALL. REFERRED ME TO NHTSA OR A FORD DEALER DIRECTLY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE IS THE YEAR AND MODEL WHY MY CAR IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL

THE PAST MONTH THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES 15 TO 30 SECONDS AFTER STARTING, IN STATIONARY POSITION OTHER TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY; HOWEVER, NO LEAK WAS FOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. OVER TIME, THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED A COOLANT LEAK. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V431000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TINDOL FORD (1901 E FRANKLIN BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28054, (704) 867-8341) AND COOLANT WAS PURCHASED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ANTI-FREEZE AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND LOST POWER. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD LINCOLN OF HUNTINGTON (147 W 11TH ST, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746, (631) 923-2145) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR, PRESSURE SENSOR, AND WASTEGATE SOLENOID FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V431000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SAME MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING COOLANT, BUT THE ORIGIN OF THE LEAK COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. GURLEY LEEP FORD (320 E IRELAND RD, SOUTH BEND, IN 46614) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES VIA PHONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,402.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER, STALL OUT AND DIE! AFTER COASTING OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND WANTING A FEW MINUTES, I WOULD THEN TURNING THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WOULD START BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL AND OIL, BATTERY CONNECTION ARE TIGHT AND CLEAN.

CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. USUALLY IT WILL START TO PUTTER AND THEN IT LOSES POWER AND COMPLETELY STALLS. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE PULLING ONTO A BUSY STATE ROUTE HWY OUT OF MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY, ALMOST CAUSING MY 5 YEAR OLD SON AND I TO BE HIT BY CARS COMING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO THE DRIVEWAY NEXTDOOR BEFORE THE CARS COULD HIT ME. THERE IS ONLY 125,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THE FORD MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SENSORS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULDN'T BE MORE UPSET.

ENGINE COOLANT SENSOR IS BAD, CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK AND CAR TO OVERHEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT ADDED ANTIFREEZE AND NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE PULL OVER SAFELY MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOE MACHENS FORD (1911 W WORLEY ST, COLUMBIA, MO 65203) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE STALLS AND TURNS OFF SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. YOU CAN DRIVE IT SEVERAL MILES, BUT WHEN YOU STOP AND TURN IT OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON IT WILL STALL AND TURN OFF. IT'S DIED SEVERAL TIMES PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF I'M ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING LONG ENOUGH TO GET UP TO ABOUT 30 MPH IT WILL SKIP 3 TIMES THEN IT'S FINE, UNTIL YOU TURN IT BACK OFF. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL COLLISIONS WITH ME AND MY 3 KIDS. I'VE CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THERE'S NO RECALL AND I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT STALLING AND DYING.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN. THIS MOST RECENTLY HAPPEND WHILE GOING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPEND 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS WHILE DRIVING. SOUND FORD SAYS THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

THE CAR STALLS OUT FROM A STANDING STOP RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, YET NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER COMES ON. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED JUST AS I'M PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS RANDOMLY BEEN HAPPENING IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS THEN LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO...

THE CAR STALLS WHEN STARTING AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ESCAPES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND WHITE SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ADDED COOLANT. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT THEN BEGAN SMOKING AGAIN. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED A LINE BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND THE ENGINE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHSIDE FORD (12300 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

VEHICLE REPEATEDLY STALLS AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL START AND THEN I BEGIN DRIVING AND IT WILL SHUTTER, LOSE ACCELERATION ABILITY, AND STALL OUT. THEN I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT AND RESTART. SOMETIMES IT STARTS AFTER A LITTLE DELAY JUST FINE, AND OTHER TIMES I HAD HAPPENED BACK TO BACK TWO TO THREE TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN. I ALSO HAD COOLANT LEAK OCCUR. JUST GOT ENGINE HOSES, SENSORS, A NEW FUEL PUMP IN HOPES OF FIXING THE COOLANT LEAK AND THE STALLING. TOO SOON TO TELL IF THE COOLANT PROBLEM IS GONE, BUT STALLING IS STILL OCCURRING! FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

MY CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS. IT STALLED PERIODICALLY BUT I THOUGHT WELL MAYBE IT'S WAS BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT WAS OUTSIDE. BUT THAT IT'S THE CASE. I CAN BE AT A LIGHT STOPPED, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET/EXPRESSWAY AND IT'LL START TO LOSE STUTTER AND STALL OUT WITH ONLY THE BATTERY LIGHT AND OIL LAMP LIGHT COMING ON. SOMETIMES ITLL START RIGHT BACK UP OTHERS IT HAS IT SIT AND COOL DOWN. EVEN THO MY ENGINE ISN'T READING HOT OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. EVERYTHING READS FINE. I'VE TAKEN TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND FINALLY JUST 5 DAYS AGO TO A FORD DEALER WHO HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS AND ALL HE COULD SAY IS IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE A CRACKED WATER PUMP! THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING FOR US WITH THE 1.6 IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME EXACT THING GOING ON WITH THE 2.0. TODAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED MY OIL DIPSTICK WAS SMOKING

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS, WITH ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING, OR SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME, CAUSING THEM TO HAVE TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND STOP AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK THEM A DAY AND A HALF TO DIAGNOSE THAT IT WAS AN EVAPORATIVE PURGE VALVE THAT WAS STICKING OPEN. THE REPAIR COST CAME TO $629.97, PLUS $68.86 FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE VEHICLE RAN FOR ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT IS NOW STALLING AGAIN WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ( US 82 IN TEXAS), THERE WERE FLAMES SEEN COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. A SEPARATE VEHICLE PULLED UP BESIDE OUR 2013 FORD ESCAPE, AND YELLED THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. MY SON QUICKLY PULLED OVER, AND HE AND HIS MOTHER QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND BACKED AWAY FROM IT. A FIRE TRUCK CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY WIFE WAS ALSO TREATED FOR SMOKE INHALATION ON SITE, AND LATER HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS BREATHING. I HAVE CHECKED THE VIN ON OUR VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON OUR VIN. AFTER RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER FIRE ISSUES WITH OTHER VINS. I BELIEVE OUR SITUATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT, BECAUSE THE RECALL MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED. WE ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE DOWN ON OUR CAR NOTE, AND WILL LOOSE ABOUT $4,000 OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE OUR ISSUE COULD BE RELATED TO ISSUES OTHERS HAVE HAD WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN'S. THIS HAPPENED ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15TH NEAR SHERMAN, TEXAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC TO HAVE SEVERAL RECALLS FIXED INCLUDING THE "13S12 RISK OF LOCALIZED OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD THAT MAY LEAD TO OIL LEAK FIRES" IN JANUARY 2018. IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHERN PINES, NC DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WHILE THE VEHICLE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 10 FEET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY LOW ON COOLANT AND WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS ISSUES THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE FIXED. AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019 THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP ON FORT BRAGG. WHILE LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE THE REPAIR SHOP NOTED TWO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE, ONE PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. WHEN I CALLED THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE RELATING TO THE ENGINE. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT OPTIONS FOR THEM TO FIX AN ISSUE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE ALREADY FIXED, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OVER A YEAR SINCE IT WAS DONE SO THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT WITH THE RECALL WORK. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH SYSTEMS NOT COMMUNICATING THE SAME INFORMATION FOR RECALLS. THE ISSUE WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT RESOLVED AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. IF THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED THE SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND IT STILL PERSISTS, DO THEY NOT HAVE TO FIX IT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.
