2013 Ford Escape complaints

MY COOLANT IS LEAKING FAST AND I SEEN THERE IS A RECALL ON A FORD ESCAPE MINE IS A 2013 BUT MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T POPPING UP A RECALL.

LOSING COOLANT BUT NO VISIBLE SIGNS WHERE IT'S GOING. THE WATER PUMP WAS CHANGED BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2013 AND WHEN THE WEATHER BEGAN TO GET COLD THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF COOLANT THEN. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE I'M LOSING IT FROM. I SAW WHERE OTHER FORD ESCAPES ARE BEING RECALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

WHILE IN MOTION, THE RPM ARE REDUCED, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, TURNS OFF AND A "SYSTEM CHECK, SERVICE NOW" NOTICE APPEARS IN DASH BOARD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SAME ESCAPE BUT 2.5, WHILE THIS ONE IS 1.3. RIGHT NOW IT IS AT FORD DEALER FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION.

CAR WOULD HAVE HESITATION AND STALL WHILE IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON (P1450). ALSO HAD VIBRATION FROM FUEL TANK AND/OR FUEL CAP. FORD DEALER SAID HAS TO DUE WITH EVAPORATOR PURGE VALVE. SAID HAS SEEN THIS ON 'LOTS OF ESCAPES FROM 2013-2014'. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO SYMPTOMS BEFOREHAND.

WHEN IT GETS COLD MY VEHICLES RUNS THROUGH COOLANT LINE WATER AND THEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN IT GETS JUST LOW ENOUGH. TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A LEAK. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT GETS COLD. ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS A COOLANT LEAK WHICH RESULTED IN A WATER PUMP AND HOSE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2013 1.6L FORD ESCAPES HAD WHEN THEY WERE RECALLED. I HAVE 66,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND HOSE BECAUSE OF A COOLANT LEAK.

THE VEHICLE IS LOOSING COOLANT. START RUNS AND AFTER A COUPLE MILES SHUTS OFF. WILL START BACK UP AND DRIVE. FORD RECALLED THE 2013 FORD ESCAPES MADE UP TO AUGUST 31,2012. MINE WAS MADE IN AUGUST 2012. TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SMOKES WHITE SMOKE WHEN FIRST STARTED.

2013 FORD ESCAPE SEL 08/12 STALLING PROBLEMS. STALLED 4 TIMES ON A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY. HESITATED TO RESTART THEN WOULD STALL OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. CALLING FORD DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF IT'S CIVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO BEING BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALER

CAR CUTS OFF UNEXPECTANTLY AND TRANSMISSION LITE COMES ON THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND TRANSMISSION PEOPLE SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION

THE FUEL FEED HOSE CRACKED. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT, BUT JUST NOT MY VIN. I WANTED.TO REPORT THAT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND SEE IF I COULD GET REIMBURSED. IT WAD A VAD CAR DAY. STARTED WITH THE FUEL SMELL, DEAD BATTERY, TO MY BRAKES GOING OUT!!@ THE CIST FOR REPAIRS ARE $263.05. THANKX.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 MPH, MY VEHICLE JUST STALLED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC WHEN IDLING IN RIGHT TURN LANE. HAZARDS TURNED ON AND COASTED TO SIDE. PRESSED POWER BUTTON AGAIN AND CAR STARTED. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. CAR POWERED DOWN AGAIN. CAR STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE 10 MILES WITHOUT ISSUE TO DESTINATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.

WITHIN THE LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AND DIED WITH ZERO WARNING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND.

THE ISSUE OCCURS ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED, THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STUTTER AND WILL SHUT DOWN. SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, WILL RE-START AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETIMES, IT OCCURS AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN 100 FEET (OR LESS) AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR DOWN, OR IT SHUTS DOWN, AND THEN RESTART. THIS MIGHT HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO DRIVE OKAY. THIS CONDITION SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TURN THE AC OFF PRIOR TO RESTARTING THE CAR.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2013. A YEAR AFTER I HAD IT THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. IT TOOK A SMALL AMOUNT OF ANTIFREEZE TO FILL IT UP. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. LAST YEAR IT WAS MORE FREQUENT. I HAD IT CHECK AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A WATER PUMP. THE WATER PUMP DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I'M HAVING TO ADD ANTIFREEZE WEEKLY TO MY CAR NOW. I PULLED UP FORD RECALLS AND SAW WHERE FORD ESCAPES WERE BEING RECALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT PARTICULAR RECALL. IF I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY IS MINE NOT BEING RECALLED?

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO SHEEHY FORD ASHLAND SEVERAL TIMES IN REGARDS TO IT LOSING COOLANT BUT THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM BUT NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START. I'VE RESEARCHED MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 2013 FORD ESCAPES.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR (SPECIFICALLY THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE SOLENOID) THAT WAS PART OF LAST FALL'S FOCUS RECALL. I HAD A PROBLEM LAST FALL WITH MY CAR WHINING, ROCKING WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SMELLING LIKE BURNED FUEL, AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT ENTIRELY. LAST YEAR THE CAR STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES INITIALLY WHILE STATIONARY, AND EVENTUALLY WHILE IN MOTION. EXPERIENCE WAS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AS IT WAS SPORADIC AND NOT CONSISTENT. WE REPLACED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE LAST YEAR WHICH RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS NOW FAILED AGAIN A YEAR LATER WHILE I WAS SITTING IN BUSY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY CAR STARTED WHINING AND ROCKING THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS A STOP, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES (BATTERY WOULD ENGAGE, ENGINE WOULD ATTEMPT TO TURN BUT WOULDN'T CATCH). EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO START MY ENGINE AND DRIVE HOME SAFELY. HOWEVER I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL THE PART IS ONCE AGAIN REPLACED.

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, WHILE DRIVING SATURDAY 9/14/2019 APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM MY PASSENGER FRONT DOOR FLEW OPEN. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD NO PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT IT WILL NOT CLOSE. I HAVE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED (A PICTURE IS ATTACHED). THIS VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL BACK IN OCTOBER 2016 #16S30 AND WAS FIXED ON 5/15/2017. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RECALL NOTICE AND PRICE QUOTE FOR ME TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

WHEN DRIVING, NOT RELATED TO SPEED OR CURVES, YOU'LL BE DRIVING ALONG AND FEEL THE STEERING TIGHTENING AND ARE THEN DOWN TO MANUAL STEERING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN YOU TURN IT BACK ON IT HAS RESET AND THE POWER STEERING RESUMES. WE HAVE PLUGGED IN TO AN ERROR CODE READER AND IT IS NOT RETURNING A CODE. AN ONLINE SEARCH HAS SHOWN AN INTERNAL SERVICE MEMO (CSP # 14N02 PUT OUT 8/26/2014) REGARDING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, MOST RECENTLY TWICE LAST WEEK.

MY ESCAPE SHAKES, MISSES AND STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. AS I AM BRAKING IN TRAFFIC IT STARTS SHAKING, THEN STALLS. IT ALSO STALLS WHEN I CHANGE GEARS, I.E. I AM IN R THEN GO INTO D. THIS HAS BEEN SO DANGEROUS! I GET STUCK IN THE LINE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AGAIN AND AGAIN. TRAFFIC BACKS UP BEHIND ME WHEN I STALL AND IT GETS SCARY! MY SONS(BOTH MECHANICS) BELIEVE IT IS THE VACUUM/ EVAPORATOR SYSTEM. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE AND AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 10 MINUTES AND PULLING IT IN THE GARAGE THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A $1989 REPAIR I WILL SEND YOU THEIR INVOICE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE...NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER COME ON. I AM THE 2ND OWNER, AND HAVE NOT PUT 40000MILES ON IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IT HAD 42000 ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2014. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF 2013-2014 ESCAPES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND OWNERS PLEADING FOR AN EXTENDED VIN RECALL. I JOIN IN THAT PLEA!!!! I CANNOT AFFORD A REPAIR AT THIS COST AND I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR. PLEASE FORD HELP WITH THIS DANGEROUS DEFAULT. MY SONS WON'T ALLOW MY GRANDCHILDREN TO RIDE IN MY CAR WITH ME AND I FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY ALSO.🙁

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH ON A LONG CURVE. WITHOUT WARNING MY STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I WAS SO SCARRED BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE GOING THE SAME SPEED OR ABOVE WHAT I WAS. I THOUGHT QUICK ENOUGH TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS, I COULDNT DIRECT THE CAR TO GO TO THE CURVE, SO I FIGURED I WOULD SLOW TO A STOP AND GO FROM THERE. A COUPLE MINUTES LATER WHEN I WAS DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND PEOPLE HONKING AND FLYING PAST ME THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT A LITTLE AND I WAS ABLE TO SLIGHTLY START GOING TO THE SHOULDER. IT TOOK BOTH HANDS AND ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD TO MOVE THE WHEEL BUT I MANAGED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME PICK ME UP, WHILE WAITING I TURNED THE CAR ON TO MAKE SURE IT WAS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT THAT CAME ON, WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON THE STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, MY HUSBAND FOLLOWED ME HOME WHILE I DROVE SLOWLY. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS STILL FINE, UNTIL I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE STORE ON A COUNTRY ROAD THAT IS HILLY AND WINDING GOING 30 MOH THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE STEERING WAS REALLY HARD TO TURN OR MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. I MANAGED TO GET HOME AND THAT IS WHERE MY CAR HAS SAT SINCE, I'M TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS BEYOND DANGEROUS.

CAR SIGNALS ITS OVERHEATING AND SHUTS DOWN AFTER BEING SHUT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES ITS FINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY ONRAMP. I HAVE REPLACED PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM IN ADDITION TO THE RECALLS FORD HAS DONE.

ENGINE COOLANT KEPT LEAKING. NOTICES ABOUT 'ENGINE COOLANT LOW' WERE NOT CORRECTED, EVEN AFTER I HAD 2 HEATER HOSES REPLACED, AS PER THE SERVICE REPAIR REPORT RECOMMENDED. THIS WAS DONE, FIRST ONE HOSE, COSTING $485, THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON ABOUT 4 WEEKS LATER, AND THE SECOND HOSE WAS REPLACED COSTING ~ $475. EVEN AFTER THIS, ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2019, THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING INCREDIBLE NOISES AND SMOKE STARTING COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I GOT OUT IMMEDIATELY! NO COOLANT, NO OIL AND THE RADIATOR(/) CAP HAD BUBBLY 'STUFF' IN IT. I HAVE COPIES OF PAPERWORK THAT STATES, " CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE 'LOW ENGINE COOLANT 'LIGHT COMES ON, OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ...N E V E R.. MENTIONED THAT THIS MIGHT BE PART OF A RECALL, FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM! I CONSIDER THIS FRAUD BY DECEPTION. AFTER BEING TOLD THAT A NEW ENGINE WOULD COST ME $7,000, FORD SAID THEY WOULD GIVE ME 'FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OF $1700, TOWARD THE ENGINE COST. I AM RETIRED, WORKING A PART TIME JOB! I CANNOT AFFORD THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE I FEEL THAT THIS WAS SUCH A WELL-KEPT SECRET BY THE DEALER. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED NHTSATO REQUIRE A RECALL ON:12V551000 12/03.2012 AND RECALL #12V431000 09/04/2012. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE RECALLED!! I'M LUCKY MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WEREN'T KILLED ON A HIGHWAY, OR INJURED OTHERS WHILE ON THE ROAD, DURING TH

I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I WAS PULLING ON TO OUR MAIN ROAD A HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE SHUTOFF. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT ABOUT A BLOCK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. EACH OF THESE TIMES I WAS LEFT WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN A STALLED CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT IS A MIRACLE WE DID NOT GET HIT OR HURT IN ANY WAY. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START IT ENOUGH AND MANEUVER US OUT OF TRAFFIC AND DANGER, WE WERE THEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, ALL OTHER TIME WE WERE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD RAN THE CODE WITH A MECHANIC AND IT WAS A FUEL CONNECTOR ERROR.

VEHICLE STALLS THEN RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY THEN STALLS AGAIN AFTER A SHORT TIME RUNNING, IT HAS DONE THIS ON 3 SEPARATE DAYS NOW IN THE LAST MONTH. IT WILL STALL AND RESTART ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN DRIVE NORMALLY. THIS CONCERNS ME AS TO A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT IN TRAFFIC WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SCANNED AND IT SHOWS NO FAULT CODES. MY LOCAL.FORD DEALER SAYS THEY ARE AT MINIMUM A MONTH OUT FOR APPOINTMENTS...... THIS IS NOT GOOD. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP.AND STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE SEEN VARIOUS WEBSITES THAT HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. AS I SAID, FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR HEAVEN FORBID....KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE ENGINE NEED SERVICE SOON WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD PAY PART OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

TOOK MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE IN FOR 100,000 MILE CHECK UP. OIL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE ENGINE. HAD THIS GONE UNCHECKED, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE ON THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY. VERY SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 5 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH DISENGAGED AND THE DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUNTREE FORD (8770 BUSINESS PARK DR, SHREVEPORT, LA 71105, (318) 798-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

MY CAR HAS PERSISTENT COOLANT LEAKING PROBLEMS. THE DEALER CHECKED AND COULDN'T FIND PROBLEMS. IT HAPPENS AGAIN TODAY WITH COOLANT LOW WARNING.

MY 2013 ESCAPE RANDOMLY STALLS. MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. PUTS ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN I DRIVE IT

THE BUSHING ON MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS GONE OUT. I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE INTO PARK OR REVERSE. IT WILL ONLY GO INTO DRIVE AND NEUTRAL. I AM NOT ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE THAT I MAY NEED TO REVERSE. WHEN I START MY CAR AND PARK IT THE CAR HAS TO BE IN NEUTRAL AND I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THEIR ARE OTHER 2013 FORD ESCAPES WITH THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE SAYING MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THEM. OBVIOUSLY MINE ALSO IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS COMING DOWN A HILL GETTING READY TO PULL INTO A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY AND PARK. IT WOULD NOT LEAVE D AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD ONLY GO INTO D OR N.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I RECEIVED AN ERROR READING STATING MY ENGINE COOLANT IS LOW. I CHECKED COOLANT AND IT IS FULL. MY CAR STARTED TO STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I LOOKED UP INFO ON THIS WEBSITE WHICH MIMICKED MY ISSUES EXACTLY. THE FORD RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 12S41. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPAY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND ASKED THEM ABOUT MY CAR AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS AND HOW THEY MIMICKED THE RECALL LISTED ABOVE. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT. I INFORMED THEM THAT IT WAS A 2013 ESCAPE WHICH SHOWS TO FALL UNDER IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR PROBABLY DIDN'T GET MADE WITH THE SAME PARTS AND MAY HAVE BEEN MADE AT A DIFFERENT TIME. I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND I HAVE A HARD TIME DOING THAT SINCE OBVIOUSLY THE SYMPTOMS MIMIC THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN IT STALLS OUT AND TELLS ME MY SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING AND TO PULL OVER. IT IS A RANDOM THING. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN JUST STARTED OR WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WE WAS ON A CITY STREET TURNING AT A STOPLIGHT AND GOT STUCK AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO ACCELERATE TO 5,000 RPMS TO GET IT TO MOVE AND IT SLAMMED INTO 2ND GEAR. ALMOST CAUSED 2 CAR ACCIDENTS WITH 2 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. BAD TRANSMISSION NEEDS RECALLED

INFORMATION DISPLAY PANEL WENT OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSE CANNOT RENEW REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE WITHOUT MILEAGE AND CANNOT KNOW WHATS GOING WRONG WITH CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE 'COOLANT LOW' MESSAGE APPEARED. AFTER COOLANT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED HOURS AFTER CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVELS, WHICH WERE NORMAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, COOLANT WAS FOUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TT

VACUUM PUMP FAILURE. NO WARNING, WAS DRIVING ON AN EXIT RAMP FROM OUR STATE TURNPIKE AT LOW SPEED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS AND IN TURN, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD JUST STOPPED TO PAY A TOLL ABOUT 200 YARDS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEM. THE FAILURE OF THE VACUUM PUMP COUPLED WITH FORD UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT FROM THE INCIDENT DATE OF JUNE 6TH, 2019 UNTIL AUGUST 28, 2019 CAN EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. FORD EDGE FROM THE SAME MODEL YEARS HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, WITH FORD EXTENDING THE VACUUM PUMP WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. THIS EXPANSION OF THE WARRANTY SHOULD ALSO BE APPLIED TO THE FORD ESCAPE. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE BEING INJURED OR WORSE BEFORE THE NHSTA FORCES FORD TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMPS ON THEIR WATCH?

CAR WILL REV. HIGH AND THEN SHUT OFF.

CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND HESITATING, TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH COOLANT LOSS, SAID THEY FIXED. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN ROUGH TOOK BACK AND IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, AND NOW WHEN STARTED WHITE SMOKE CAN OUT OF EXHAUST. NOW THEY SAY I NEED A NEW ENGINE.

POWER STEERING DEFECT. MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS FAILED AND I WAS TOLD I NEED AN EPAS RACK, THE CODE IS U3000 PSCM INTERNAL FAILURE. I HAVE 72,875 MILES ON THIS 2013 FORD ESCAPE. I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. I UNDERSTAND FORD HAS HAD TO RECALL OVER 1.1 MILLION SUV'S FOR POWER STEERING DEFECTS. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $1,800 TO REPAIR. I AM TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THE OTHER 1.1 MILLION SUV'S HAVE HAD I FEEL LIKE MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. JOE COOPER FORD OF EDMOND, OK HAS MY VEHICLE NOW FOR REPAIR 405-475-9000. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60 MPH AND THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
