2013 Ford Escape complaints

CARS TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR! I THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY AND THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME! BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND MOVING FORWARD WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT BOTH TIMES, THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST LEFT FORD WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED WHEN IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN FORWARD MOTION, THIS TIME I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO FORD AND IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE SINCE APRIL 13TH AND TODAY IS MAY 1ST AND FORD HAS NOT RESPONDED BACK TO ME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR? I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE ON 4/30/2019 THAT IS ONLY CHARGING ME $3,100 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WITH A 2 YEAR 24,000 MILE WARRANTY AND FORD WANTED $7,400 TO PUT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR? HMMMMM WHAT WOULD YOU DO? CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD IS SLOOOOOOW TO SAY THE LEAST? IT'S BAD ENOUGH I'VE GOT A CAR WITH ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT AND WITH AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAN FORD WANTS ME TO WAIT UNTIL WHEN TO RESPOND BACK WITH A SOLUTION?

I HAVE OWNED MY 2013 ESCAPE FOR APPROX. 4.5 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT WITH APPROX. 40K MILES AND IT IS NOW AT 80K. FOR THE LAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN ACTING AS THOUGH IT WILL STALL, THE RPMS WILL DROP, THE CAR WILL SHUDDER THEN RECOVER MOST OF THE TIME. IT HAS ACTUALLY SHUT OFF TWICE, ONCE IN A PARKING SPACE WHILE IDLING AND THE OTHER AT A STOP LIGHT WHILE IDLING. THE PLACES THE STALL ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR THE MOST IS AT STOP LIGHT, IDLING IN PARKING SPACES, SITTING IN DRIVE THROUGHS, ETC. IT HAS BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS MANAGED TO RECOVER WITHOUT LOSING TOO MUCH SPEED OR WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND DEALERSHIPS, NO ONE CAN FIND THE REASON FOR THE "STALLING". YESTERDAY, WHEN COMING OUT OF WORK IN FLAT PARKING LOT, INSTEAD OF STALLING THE VEHICLE JERKED ONCE WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THEN THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO DRIVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE INCHED FORWARD BUT DID NOTHING ELSE. I THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND DROVE IT WITHOUT ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS WORK. I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS "WORK" ENTAILS BUT FROM READING ALL THE ENTRIES, RECALLS, AND INVESTIGATIONS THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUES OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR ESCAPES.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH OVER 120,000 MILES. I'VE HAD IT 2 YEARS. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH ABOUT 84,000 MILES ON IT .. RECENTLY MY COOLANT WOULD GO LOW AND THEN SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD SAY IT'S OVERHEATING WHEN IT ACTUALLY WASN'T CAUSING IT TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. TODAY, 04/24/2019 THE CAR STARTED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF STARTING THE CAR TO DRIVE IT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOW COME ON. I SEE THIS IS A VERY POPULAR COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO IF ANYTHING IS BEING DONE ON FORDS END REGARDING REPAIRS OR ANY TYPE OF RECALL . I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC IN THE MORNING

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR AT IDLE THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND STALLS OUT. IT DOES COMPLETELY AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED . SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW. IT HAPPENS AFTER CITY DRIVING , HIGHWAY DRIVING OR WHILE IDLING. THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND STALLS AND WHILE DOING SO THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GASOLINE PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLDEN CIRCLE FORD LINCOLN, INC. (1432 US-45 BYP, JACKSON, TN 38305, (731) 554-3673) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET I CAME TO A RED LIGHT I WAS STOPPED FOR JUST A MOMENT AND THE LOW COOLANT SIGN/MESSAGE CAME ON NOT EVEN A SECOND LATER IT STARTS FLASHING RED SAYING SYSTEM OVERHEATING TURN ENGINE OFF THE THERMOSTAT SPIKES ALL THE WAY UP I AM ON A 4 LANE ROAD WITH MY CHILD IN THE VECHELE AS I AM GETTING OVER TO GET US OUT OF HARMS WAY THE CAR IS STARTING TO STALL. I GOT TO A PARKING SPOT MIND YOU THIS MIGHT HAVE TAKEN 1 MINUTE OR LESS I TURN CAR OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO POP THE HOOD AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. THE ANTIFREEZE JUG IS FULL THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE CAR TO OVERHEAT I WAITED A FEW MORE MINUTES STARTED THE CAR AND THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT GOES OFF TEMPERATURE IS FINE NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I DROVE THE CAR HOME IT DROVE FINE NO ISSUE. I CAN NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GONNA DO IF I COULD NOT HAVE GOT MY CAR TO A PARKING SPOT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT ON THIS ROAD.

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK (AT ~35 MPH), AN ALERT APPEARED WARNING ME OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND TO "STOP SOON". I LOST POWER FOR THE MOST PART AND HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES (COOL DAY, ~60 DEGREES F, DRY CONDITIONS).

AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUTTING MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE IN PARK, THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. PRIOR TO HAVING THIS OCCURING, WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE POSITION, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACKUP, THE CAR GAVE A HARD JERK BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY MOVED BACKWARD. SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED, THE CAR HAS A HARD JERK BEFORE ABLE TO BACKUP ABOUT EVERY 3 TIMES I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE.

AT 73K MILES, LOW COOLANT LIGHT APPEARED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF A LEAK. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT WATER PUMP AND HEATER HOSE WERE LEAKING. THE NEXT WEEK THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME BACK ON SO I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CONNECTION HOSE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS LEAKING. AFTER REPLACING THIS HOSE CONNECTION, DEALERSHIP NOW TELLS ME THAT LEAK IS COMING FROM CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN LOCAL ROADS MY ENGINE WAS MAKING S SOUND AS IF A FAN WAS RUNNING ON HIGH SPEED AND I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE LOSING POWER. AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE SCREEN THAT SAID TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE ESCAPE INDICATING LOW COOLANT AND/OR OVERHEATING/PULL OVER SAFELY (LIMP MODE). SEVERAL TIMES, WE WERE IN TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS WHEN IT SUDDENLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND PULLING OVER SAFELY WAS SCARY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD THE WATER PUMP REPLACED, THE HEATER BYPASS HOSE REPLACED AND THE COOLING SYSTEM "BURPED". DURING THE LAST VISIT, WE WERE TOLD THE "COOLANT STAND PIPE" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A FEE OF $1275. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED DURING FORD'S 13S12 RECALL CAMPAIGN. AT THIS POINT, THE ESCAPE CAN'T BE TRUSTED TO GO ANY DISTANCE WITHOUT GOING INTO LIMP MODE AND POSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO US AND OTHERS NEAR US.

I JUST PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. RECENTLY, THE CAR WOULD JUST STOP OUT OF NO WHERE. WHEN ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON. WHEN I NOTICE IT ON ONE TIME, I WENT TO AUTO ZONE IT SAID IT WAS A COOLANT BYPASS WHICH MEANS MY CAR IS GETTING TOO HOT HOWEVER I KNOWN WHEN I START UP THE CAR IN THE MORNING, IT WOULD GET HOT FAST WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. THE CAR WOULD BE STILL AND IT WOULD OR IM DRIVING IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF...

CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND THIS IS ABOUT THE TENTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL DAYS.

THE CAR QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (NO WARNING) FORD MOTOR SAYS ITS IN THE WIRING HARNESS (MANY RECALLS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM (REPLACING THE MAP SENSOR DOES NOT HELP) THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL! THIS IS A 2013 WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES THE LAST YEAR. IT STARTED WITH A COOLANT LEAK THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE WHICH STALLED MY CAR BECAUSE A WARNING CAME UP STATING IT WAS TOO HOT. I JUST ADDED COOLANT AND IT SEEMED TO BE FINE, A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS. IT SEEMED TO BE FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY HAVING COOLANT ISSUES AND HAVING TO ADD MORE. IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND I WAS GOING THROUGH ONE GALLON OF COOLANT A WEEK. THE CAR WOULD STALLED ALL THE TIME WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR BUT AS SOON AS I OPENED THE RESERVOIR TO ADD MORE IT FILL ALMOST COMPLETELY BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THE QUOTED ME $7,100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A WARPED HEAD GASKET. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD NOT TAKE MY MONEY BECAUSE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BY MY DESCRIPTION BEFORE EVEN RUNNING ANY TESTS, THEY ALSO SAID IT COULD LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. I STARTED DOING MY RESEARCH AND REALIZED THAT THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT LOOKING UP RECALLS WITH MY VIN SHOWED MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY WITH THIS SPECIFIC RECALL. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CREATING A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.

CAR STALLS SOMEWHAT AFTER STARTING UP. RPMS GO TOWARDS ZERO.

THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO STRUGGLE TO RUN AT IDLE SOMETIMES WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN TURNING.

COOLANT COMPLETELY DEPLETED TWICE WITHIN ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO ENGINE CYLINDER 3.

THE BACK DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I CANNOT OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME & MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT IT STILL ISN’T OPENING. CAN I TAKE IT BACK IN W/O A CHARGE TO ME

LEAKING COOLANT INTO ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR BECOMES 'LOCKED'AND CANNOT OPEN EVEN WHEN CAR IS IN UNLOCK DOORS MODE. CANNOT OPEN PASSENGER REAR DOOR FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. TO THIS DAY THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR STILL CANNOT OPEN..

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 60,000 MILES I PUT 6,000 IN 7 MONTHS AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN IT DROPPED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE ARE TRANSMISSION RECALLS ON SIMILAR FORDS.

CAR HAS CONTINUED TO STALL.= REPAIR WAS DONE AND SPLICES WERE REPLACED IN BULLITEN AND TEST DRIVE. APPEARS TO BE LIKE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT MANUFACTURED EARLIER IN 2013. SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM FORD

COOLANT LEAK

LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE, CONSTANT REFILLING. I HAVE TO REFILL IT EVERY WEEK OR LESS. CHECKED SYSTEM AND PIPES, COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. HARD SMELL OF CHEMICALS IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING BUT EVEN STRONGER WHILE STATIONARY.

CAR ALWAYS SPUTTERS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK!! FAULTY EVAP VALVE

ELECTRIC STERING ASSIST IS GOING OUT AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC MAY ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE STERING BEING LOCKED WITH THE CAR IN MOTION. CHECKING THE INTERNET SHOWS MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. REPAIRS RUN UP TO $2000 DOLLARS. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT ANY MECHANICAL DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IS LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE MOVING WOULD BE A SAFETY MATTER THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL.

DISPLAY CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK. EVERYTHING WENT OUT. FUSE NOT BLOWN. SAFETY ISSUE. CAR RUNS FINE.

WAS DRIVING CAR ON PAVED ROAD AND CAR QUIT RUNNING RESTARTED CAR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON

I HAVE A FORD ESCAPE SEL 2013. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT LEAKING. I HAD AN DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND IT CAME UP SAYING "ERROR CODE P1299, CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR DETECTED ENGINE OVERHEATING CONDITION". I CALLED FORD COMPANY AND A FORD DEALERSHIP TO QUESTION ABOUT THE SENSOR AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR SUV. MY FRIEND AND I TOOK TO THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SUV AND UNDER FORD AND NTHSA THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH THE FORD ESCAPE 2013 SEL. WE CALLED FORD AND THE SAME DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY ESCAPE. I CALLED NTHSA AND WAS ASKED FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD ALSO THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL WHEN OTHER 2013 ESCAPE SEL'S ARE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FURTHER INVESTIGATED BECAUSE MY SUV IS DOING THE SAME THING AS THE OTHER ESCAPE SEL SUV.

CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AFTER ENGINE WARMS UP NO CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVE TAKEN TO THREE MECHANICS NOT ONE KNOWS THE PROBLEM

I'M DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE IS STALLING AND HAVING HESITATION TO GET GOING AGAIN. IT STALLS THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT WANTS TO RUN CORRECTLY. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR VIN. NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THERES MANY CARS LIKE MINE THAT ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. MY CAR IS ACTUALLY MOVING WHEN IT STALLS ON ME. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT STALLS ON ME WHERE I CAN GET HIT OR KILLED.

MY ESCAPE LIKES TO STALL GOING LIKE 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTS TO HESTISTATE AND WONT GO ANYWHERE. IT STALLS AND LIKE IT SHUTTING OFF WITH THE OIL LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. I RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT DOES IT AGAIN LIKE IT DONT WANT TO MOVE. IT STALLS LIKE THREE TO FOUR TIMES AND IT WOULD RUN LIKE NORMAL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS CAUSE IT STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. IF THERE WAS CARS COMING WHICH I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T I WOULD HAD HIT ON BOTH SIDES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO DO THIS. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THIS IS A VERY SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS TO A POINT WHERE I AM SCARE DRIVING MY ESCAPE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE STALLING AND HESITATION ISSUE. I WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS DOES THIS. YOU CAN HAVING IDLE AND IT WONT STALL ONLY WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE. THE TURBO IS ALSO LOSING POWER WHEN THIS DOES THIS.

ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITH FAMILY AND FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THIS OCCURRED WHEN IT DID INSTEAD OF TWO HOURS EARLIER WHEN NAVIGATING ATLANTA TRAFFIC AS THIS WOULD HAVE MOST CERTAINLY LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE WERE DRIVING TO COASTAL GEORGIA AND HAD ABOUT 200 MILES LEFT TO OUR JOURNEY. NOT KNOWING AREA WE PULLED OFF TO GET GAS TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ENOUGH TO REACH OUR DESTINATION. AT BOTTOM OF EXIT RAMP CAR WOULD NOT STOP. PRESSED HARDER AND HARDER ON BRAKES AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. HAD THIS BEEN A BUSY SPOT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTER AS WE COASTED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND INTO THE ROAD BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. IT WAS 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT IN IN UNFAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS SO I DROVE REST OF THE WAY USING EBRAKE, NERVE RACKING TO SAY THE LEAST. NO WARNING JUST SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT SAID VACUUM PUMP FAILED. STILL WAITING TO HEAR IF THEY CAN FIX IT, SOME GEAR THAT TURNED IT SHEARED OFF INTO CAM. THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO FISH IT OUT BUT, NOT SURE IF THEY'LL BE ABLE TO. GLADI WAS DRIVING AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN DIFFERENT SITUATION WHERE BRAKES WERE CRITICAL! BAD SITUATION!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. TWO MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, WHEN STOPPED, AND WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,700.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH STALLING OR THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OF MOST OFTEN, IF I HAVE BEEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, OR STOP SIGN AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND LOSE POWER AND I WILL HAVE TO START IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE USUALLY BEEN ON A CITY STREET OR EVEN AFTER TURNING INTO OR GETTING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS ON AN INCLINE. I USED TO THINK THIS WAS RELATED TO LOW FUEL, BUT IT RECENTLY HAPPENED WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC BEFORE.

VEHICLE REPEATEDLY MAKES NOISES WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS, DRIVING OVER BUMPS, OR PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. THE SOUND COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION.

AFTER PARKING FOR 20 MINUTES OR LESS, I BEGIN DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATION AND MY GAS PEDAL WON'T WORK. I END UP COMING TO A STOP AND STALLING. THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER I RESTART MY VEHICLE. MY OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT COME ON WHEN IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP/STALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO TWO MECHANICS AND SINCE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TO DIAGNOSE (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, FLUID LEVELS NORMAL), NOTHING CAN BE DONE. NEED HELP PLEASE. HONESTLY FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018 FROM MURFREESBORO VOLKSWAGEN . 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED ONCE A MONTH THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I ADD A LITTLE COOLANT TO IT THE LIGHT GOES OUT. BUT ONCE A MONTH YOU HAVE TO ADD COOLANT TO IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK, IT TOOK FOUR ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

INTERMITTENT STALLING OF MY 1.6 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. IT HAPPENS EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS AND ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE ABOUT 100 FEET. THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND DIE. YOU START IT BACK UP AND IT WILL DISPLAY LOSS OF POWER AND DIE AGAIN. NORMALLY THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS PROPERLY. IT WILL THEN NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR 3-4 DAYS. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL NORMALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AFTER GONG TO THE STORE AND WHEN LEAVING YOU PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IT WILL STALL MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFT, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV AND THE SPEED TO DECELERATE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
