2013 Ford Escape complaints

INFORMATIONAL DISPLAY BEHIND STEERING STARTED FLICKERING AND NOW DOES NOT LIGHT UP SO I CANNOT SEE MILEAGE OR ANYTHING ELSE THATS GOING ON WITH VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PIC OF WHAT MY DISPLAY SHLD LOOK LIKE, HOWEVER THE MIDDLE DISPLAY IN MY VEHICLE IS BLACK, NOTHING WILL DISPLAY. THE FLICKERING STARTED LAST MONTH AND NOW MY DISPLAY IS COMPLETELY BLACK/BLANK

WEARED SOUND COMES WHILE STARTING ENGINE,SHAKES WHILE CHANGING SHIFTS,SO IF WE DRIVE FOR WHILE IT WILL CHANGE SHIFTS SHAKE AND BUMP AND STOP ACCELERATING AND STOCK ON THE MIDDLE OF THE WAY

EVERY TIME I GET GAS, THE VEHICLE STALLS THE FIRST TIME I TRY TO START IT.

JUST LIKE 130,000+ OTHER 2013 FORD ESCAPES WITH A 1.6L ENGINE. I BELIEVE THIS ONE WAS PRONE TO A FIRE ISSUE. THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ENGINE SHOOK AND THE "CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND FLASHED OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FOUND FAILURE CODES: P1299 AND P0301, BUT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE ENGINE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

WHEN ON AN INCLINE OR AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE COMING STOP A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR REVS UP TO 5 AND 6 BUT BARELY MOVES. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL TAKE OFF AND JUMP INTO GEAR REALLY HARSHLY. AT TIMES IT WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND GO SUPER SLOW WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I FEEL LIKE I MAY GET HIT AT SOME POINT FROM BEHIND. THIS HAPPENS COMING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS, IT SLOWS DOWN AT 35/40MPH, IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING CORNERS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS ONCE I REACH HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WORKS PROPERLY. I HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAULT NOTIFICATION ON THE DASHBOARD.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE ON I-65 SOUTH AND IT WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE MONITOR ON MY CAR READ 'CAR OVERHEATING, PULL OVER SAFELY' SO I PULLED OVER AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LIFT THE HOOD AND SEE FLAMES. I IMMEDIATELY CALL 911 AND THE SEND A FIRE TRUCK. BEFORE THE FIRE TRUCK COULD GET THERE THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR IS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, BURNING OR MELTING EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THIS I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT COULD DIRECTLY LEAD TO FIRES. NEITHER FORD NOR THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF THAT RECALL AND THE FACT THAT IT COULD'VE BEEN LIFE THREATENING. I'VE CONTACTED THEM BOTH AND NEITHER HAVE TRIED TO HELP ME AT ALL WITH THIS SITUATION. CARS SHOULD NOT JUST RANDOMLY CATCH ON FIRE AND I BELIEVE THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE VIOLATIONS OF PRODUCT LIABILITY. THEY BOTH ARE LEAVING ME IN A POSITION TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT NO LONGER EXISTS DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN, WHICH ALSO MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO GET ANOTHER CAR. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.

MY WELL-MAINTAINED 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES ON IT RECENTLY DEVELOPED A COOLANT LEAK. UPON COMPLETE INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK THAT IS VERY SIMILAR IN DESCRIPTION TO THOSE WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR IN SELECTED MANUFACTURED VEHICLES. MY CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THESE SELECTED VEHICLES IN PRIOR RECALLS, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES AFFECTED, INCLUDING MINE, THAT SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED. IN MY CAR, THERE IS AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK WITH EVIDENCE OF ACTIVE LEAK ONTO THE SPARK PLUGS AND DESTROYING THE ENGINE, AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN REQUIRING INSTALLATION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE. PRIOR RECALL REPORTS A 'COOLANT SYSTEM LEAK THAT MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND LEAK FLAMMABLE ENGINE FLUIDS'. I WAS ALERTED TO THE LEAK ISSUE IN MY CALL WHEN AN 'ENGINE OVERHEATING' WARNING CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A LOW COOLANT WARNING, WHICH PROMPTED ME TO PROCEED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY CAR. THIS WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING MY CAR VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET. THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS CONCERN.

MY ESCAPE ALL OF A SUDDEN COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE WERE NO CODES THE 2013 FORD ESCAPE 2.0 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON!!! YOU NEED TO RECALL THE 1.6 FORD ESCAPE ECOBOOST MY CAR LITTERLY DID WHAT THE RECALL SAID WAS HAPPENING

MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON MY CAR. THE MESSAGE: STEERING ASSIST FAULT POPPED UP AND THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAVE A 2013 ESCAPE WITH 95,000, REGULARLY MAINTAINED. FORD WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING GEAR IN 2013'S, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RECALLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND IN OTHER MODELS. THEY WANT $2200 TO FIX IT!

THE ESCAPE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. FIRST TIME IT STALLED AND STOPPED WITH NO INDICATION OF ISSUE ON INTERSTATE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT MOVED TO PARKING LOT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES WAITING FOR IT TO START. HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. THE CAR NEVER STOPPED FOR HIM. WE PICKED IT AND DROVE IN THE MORNING TO CHURCH AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES. I DROVE IT IN AFTERNOON TEMP AROUND 85 DEGREES FOR ABOUT 3 MILES. CAR STOPPED RUNNING WITH NO INDICATION OF PROBLEM WHILE PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHT. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES CAR RESTARTED AND QUIT RUNNING AGAIN LESS THEN 1/4 MILE WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF STREET.I TRIED REPLACING IGNITION RELAY AS NOTED BY SEVERAL WEBSITES BUT NO CHANGE. HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THE UNSAFE SUDDEN STALLING. CAR GOING BACK TO MECHANIC. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM.

STARTED VEHICLE AT A PARKING LOT AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH NOT ISSUES DURING THE DAY, STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER STEERING. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER QUOTED $2076 FOR REPAIR.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 6 MONTHS THIS CAR HAS STOPPED RUNNING BECAUSE IT SAYS THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS HOT, BUT BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED UP. PULLED OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR.. THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT. MY SON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND THANKFULLY ALWAYS WEARS HIS SEAT BELT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE CAN BE KILLED WITH THIS DEFECT.

FUEL: THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD STARTED WITH A FUEL ISSUE. EVERY TIME I PUT GAS, THEN TURN ON CAR DOESN'T WANT TO START. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS OCCUR. BUT IT DOES TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO START. KIND OF LIKE WHEN THE BATTERY IS DYING. ENGINE: WHEN GOING UP STEEP HILLS THE ENGINE OVER HEATS. IT STABILIZES ONCE WE DRIVE ON FLAT SURFACE AND DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL WE GO UP STEEP HILLS AGAIN. BOTH ITEMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FR ABOUT 3 YEARS. THE FUEL PIECE IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE WAY FORD BUILT THE COMPACT ENGINE.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION DRIVING STRAIGH-FORWARD WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AND ON CITY STREETS. I SEE THIS CAR HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR THIS AND I DON'T SHOW ANY CURRENTLY OPEN RECALLS SO PERHAPS THE FIX FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT SUFFICIENT. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AGO FROM A FORD DEALER.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING PULLED OVER WITHIN 5 MIN. VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE, WITHIN 15 MIN VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES THERE WHERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. WE HAD NO OTHER INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. COOLANT WAS FULL.

WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (APPROXIMATELY 2.5 YEAR AGO, WHEN IT WAS CLOSE TO 50,000 MILES), I BROUGHT MY CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS SLOWLY LEAKING COOLANT. THEY FOUND A LEAK, BUT SINCE THE REPAIR WAS SO EXPENSIVE, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO JUST KEEP REFILLING IT. AT THAT TIME, I HAD TO REFILL IT EVERY FEW MONTHS. RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN MUCH WORSE WHERE I NEED TO REFILL IT EVERY WEEK. MY CAR ALSO STALLED (WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER STARTING IT), BUT I AM UNSURE WHETHER THOSE THINGS ARE CONNECTED. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE (SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR), BUT MY NOTHING COMES UP WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 99,000 MILES.

ON MONDAY, MAY 6 I WAS IN A STORE PARKING LOT AND I STARTED MY CAR TO BACK OUT AND DRIVE HOME. MY CAR GAVE AN ALERT THAT SAID THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR NOTICE. THE CAR STALLED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I RESTARTED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE FEW MILES HOME. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. MY CAR WAS SERVICED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS SOME ISSUE WITH A COOLANT LEAK WHICH THEY FIXED. ON FRIDAY, JUNE 7TH I WAS ALSO IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO DRIVE HOME. THE SAME ALERT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I TRIED THE SAME METHOD OF RESTARTING MY CAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HOME, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT DRIVE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME IT IS STILL IN SERVICE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I PAID $1000 TO HAVE THE "ISSUE" FIXED A MONTH AGO. THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THE "ISSUE" IS NOW. I DO HAVE THE RECEIPT AND PRINT OUT OF WHAT EXACTLY WAS DONE IN THE FIRST REPAIR BUT IT IS INSIDE MY CAR WHICH I CAN'T ACCESS RIGHT NOW. IF NEEDED I CAN PROVIDE LATER.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TURBO BOOST. I HAD SEEN THAT OTHER VEHICLES THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR AND MANUFACTURING DATE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THAT ISSUE BUT MINE HAS NOT AND NOW I'M LOOKING AT A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL FORDS IN THE PAST BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THE QUALITY IS STARTING TO WANE AND I'M DISAPPOINTED THE RECALL HASN'T BEEN EXPANDED WHEN IT'S EVIDENT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

WHITE SMOKE WAS STILL OCCURRING BUT NOT AS SEVERE. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MUDDY, BLACK. HE FELT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TRANNY WITH THE MOTOR DAMAGE. FORD CUS SER REP AND SUPERVISORS DO NOT KNOW THE CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION IN POWERTRAIN RECALL. THEY SAY IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL BY THE VIN NUMBER. MY CAR HAS THE 6 SP AUTO TRANNY AND THE PRODUCTION DATE IS INCLUDED. THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED.

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE SOON ERROR ! THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK ITS IN PARK WHILE DRIVEN. IT STAULES SEEMS THAT IT IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEARS BY ITS SELF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

WHILE DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR (BUMPER TO BUMPER) TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE DIED. THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FOR IT TO START AGAIN. I HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED A MONTH AGO AND THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED WITH NO ISSUES.

CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE IN MOTION WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON

CAR LIGHTS INDICATE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING AND CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES. MECHANICS CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS TIME THE MECHANIC SAID THE SENSOR IS SENDING A FALSE REPORT AND THE ENGINE IS NOT OVERHEATING. OCCURS WITHIN 1-5MINUTES OF DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS GOING NO MORE THAN 35 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS EACH TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT SMELLED COOLANT AND NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE ORANGE TO RED WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM FLASHED "LOW" AND "SERVICE REQUIRED". THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. FOR ABOUT A YEAR MY CAR HAS HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BLOW OUT THE MASS AIR FLOW THEN THE CAR WOULD RUN FINE FOR 2 OR 3 MONTHS THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD START OVER. ON MAY 8 WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN IT STARTED HESITATING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE AND THE SHIFTING PROGRESSIVELY GOT ROUGHER. THEN WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD FROM A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS METAL DEBRIS STOPPING UP THE FILTER AND THAT IT COULD BE THE CLUTCHES OR SOME OTHER PART OF MY TRANSMISSION COMING APART. I'M TOLD MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, THE DISTANCE TO "E" GAS HANDS CONTINUE TO COUNT DOWN WHILE AT STOP LIGHT. ALSO, FROM MY HOUSE TO MY JOB WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES, ACCORDING TO THE GAS MILEAGE, IT SHOWS THAT I TRAVELED 30+ MILES. MY GAS HAND GOES FROM 3/4 TANK TO LESS THAN HALF OF A TANK OF GAS AND IT CONSTANTLY LOSING FUEL WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING MOBIL. WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE DISTANCE TO E GAS HAND CONTINUES TO COUNTDOWN. I'VE WATCHED MY DISTANCE TO "E' HAND GO FROM 242 MILES TO 'E' FROM MY HOME TO 188 MILES TO 'E' TODAY MAY 15, 2019THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE FEBRUARY 2019 BUT HAS SINCE GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE PLACE ON A MACHINE TO BE TOLD THAT IT IS NOT GIVING ANY CODES. A TANK OF GAS USUALLY LAST ME FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT NOW SINCE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, A FULL TANK OF GAS ONLY LAST ME 2 MAYBE 3 DAYS.

I BELIEVE THERE IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH FORD TRANSMISSIONS. MY 2013 ESCAPE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AT APPROX 100K. I ALSO HAVE FAMILY WITH FORD TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES. SAME SKIPPING PROBLEM. MY COUSINS HAS HAD TO BE REPAIRED TWICE, ONCE UNDER 100K. AND NOW JUST OVER 100K. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THEN WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PROVIDE MINIMAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT IF I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSIONS. I HAD ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT HAD EXPIRED AT 100K. I TOOK THE CAR IN AT 106K. FORDS COST WAS STILL 1000S ABOVE ANY OTHER TRANSMISSION SHOP. I WILL NOT PURCHASE A FORD AGAIN

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 52 YESTERDAY EVENING MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AFTER IT SEIZED (BRAKES QUIT IN THE PROCESS) AND HAD TO JUMP OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AS THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AND ENGULFING THE DRIVER SIDE.

CONVERTIDOR DE TRANSMISIN DAADO

WHILE DRIVING WHEN I STOP THE CAR BEGAN STALLING. I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL PRESS ON THE GAS AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. NOW WHEN I START THE CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN GEAR (FORWARD OR REVERSE) THE CAR STALLS.

HAVING ISSUE WITH ENGINE HARNESS-ALMOST GO INTO ACCIDENT TWICE- MY CAR IS NOT UNDER RECALL HOWEVER ALL OTHER FORD ESCAPES IN 2013 WERE UNDER RECALL FOR ENGINE WIRING/HARNESS. I GOT IT FIXED AT FORD FOR A COST OF $1000.00. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS TRAVELING TO ANOTHER STATE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE! THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT YOU ALREADY MADE FOR ALL THE OTHER 2013 ESCAPES! CAR WAS MOVING THEN STARTED TO BUCK AND SLOW DOWNM, ALMOST STALL-THEN WOULDNT MOVE, ALL LIGHTS CAME ON...

AT EVERY FILL UP THE CAR STALLS.NOW I HAVE TO HOLD THE GAZ TO A CERTAIN LEVEL TO AVOID STALLING AFTER EVERY FILL UP.IF I EVER LET THE PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY FILL THE TANK AND STOP ITSELF I GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLES FOR DAY.THE IDéALE IS BAD AND THE CAR STALLS NOW IN STEAD OF FILLING MY TANK TO 12 OR 13 GALLONS I HAVE TO STOP THE PUMP AT 10 OR 11 GALLONS TO AVOID THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING CAR IDLING HARD AND EVEN STALLING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODE WAS HAVING ISSUES.

THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ENGINE WITH HEAT CAUSING THE POWER STEERING MOTOR TO FAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,465.

I START THE CAR AND NOTHING SEAMS WRONG IT IDLES CORRECTLY AND TEMPERATURES STAY GOOD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR ON DRIVE AND GO OVER 10MPH I GET THE FIRST WARNING THAT COOLANT IS LOW. IF I IGNORE THA AND TRY TO GO ABOVE 15 MPH I GET A SECOND WARNING FOR HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE. AFTER THAT THE CAR STALLS AND IT WON'T GO BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL I PARK. TURN OFF THE CAR. RESTART. AND IT WILL STAY NORMAL UNTIL I START DRIVING AGAIN.
