2013 Ford Escape complaints

AT LOW SPEEDS (<20 MPH) ENGINE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. OCCURRED 3 TIMES--ONCE ON A STATE PARK ROAD, ONCE ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, AND ONCE ON AN INTERSTATE ACCESS ROAD. DEALER REPLACED "FUEL LOW PRESSURE SENSOR" AND RESET "KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND MISFIRE MONITOR" ACCORDING TO REPAIR INVOICE.

CAR WAS STATIONARY, WE STARTED IT UP AFTER A DAY OF NORMAL DRIVING. THE WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE "STEERING SYSTEM FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED." TURNED CAR OFF AND ON TWO TIMES RESULTING IN SAME WARNING LIGHT AND COULD NOT TURN WHEEL. TURNED OFF AND ON FOR THIRD TIME AND LIGHT WAS GONE, STEERING WAS EASY AGAIN. WE DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SHOP BECAUSE THE INABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL WAS TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE SHOP AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK.

THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S BUTTERS LIKE IT'S OUT OF FUEL THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THEN TURNS OFF. ONCE THE CAR SITS UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS COMPLETELY COOL IT WILL RUN NORMAL. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A THOUSAND MILES SOMETIMES IT TAKES 10. IT STALLS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WILL NOT STALL IF IT'S IN PARK IDLING. AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND AND THEN STALLS. TAKING IT TO SEVERAL PLACES AND IT'S NEVER ACTED UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE SO NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF I PULL OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS I COULD POTENTIALLY BEING A FATAL CRASH. HERE IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATION, IN THE COMMENTS IT'S SUGGEST REPLACING A FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED. STILL EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/CNHRG4PEORU. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE MY WIFE AND I OWN AND WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE OUR CHILD ANYWHERE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

AT 68,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY ESCAPE. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WITHOUT 1ST GEAR, THE CAR WOULDN'T BUDGE. I HAD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO GO ANYWHERE.

CAR HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR COOLANT BYPASS VALVE NEEDING REPLACED. I AM GOING THROUGH COOLANT QUICKER THAN IT SHOULD, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FOR OVERHEATING COMES ON ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. THE PART HAS BEEN PART OF A RECALL FOR LATER MODELS OF MY CAR, BUT NOT MINE.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IN TOWN

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY A SENSOR CAME ON STATING THAT LOSS OF POWER STEERING VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY GET VEHICLE TO STEER OR TURN. I HAD TO MANUALLY FORCE VEHICLE TO RESPOND BECAUSE I HAD LOST ABILITY TO STEER OR TURN. FINALLY GOT OF HIGHWAY TO SAFETY

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAD AN ENGINE FIRE IN NOV 2018. WHAT HAPPENED MATCHES A RECALL FORD HAD ON A COOLANT LEAK CAUSING AN OIL LEAD CAUSING THE FIRE. I CONTACTED FORD ASKING FOR A REFUND FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT MATCHED THE RECALL. THEY ARE TELLING ME NO BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED IN RECALL. I ASKED IF IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THERE WERE CARS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL, BUT HAD THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD YES. ASKED HOW I COULD HAVE I CASE LOOKED INTO AGAIN FOR POSSIBLE PAYMENT AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE NHTSA, WHICH IS WHAT I AM DOING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS ALWAYS LOW AND CONTACT HAD TO BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE WEEKLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V551000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 17326922. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THE ENGINE STALLS ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER STARTING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ON A COLD ENGINE, JUST A WARM ONE. IT SOMETIMES ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON A PARKING LOT FOR 2 OF THE INSTANCES, GOING AT SLOW SPEED OR STOPPED. ONE TIME IT WAS ON THE ROAD. HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK TO GET IT RESTARTED. DROVE FINE AFTER THAT. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN PAST 8 WEEKS. FORD IS CLUELESS SINCE THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES. THEY ARE REPLACING A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND A ECOBOOST VALVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A 2014 ESCAPE IN THERE SHOP RIGHT NOW WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS WITH ENGINE CODES.

VEHICLE "SERVICED" FOR SAFETY RECALL 13S12 ON JULY 22ND 2017 AT FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER IN TULSA, OK VEHICLE IN SERVICE CENTER FOR 7 DAYS WHEN THE WORK ORDER CALLED FOR 2 DAYS. VEHICLE NEVER GAVE ANY INDICATION OF LOW COOLANT ENGINE TEMPERATURE WOULD BE HIGH UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS. VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND DIE REGULARLY. VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY 03/02/19 AND CEASED COMPLETELY REQUIRING A TOW TO FORD DEALERSHIP. AWAITING DIAGNOSIS FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. EXPERIENCING LOCALIZED OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDERHEAD WHICH MAY CAUSE CRACKS THAT COULD ALLOW OIL TO LEAK . THIS IS THE EXACT REASON FOR THE RECALL AND FORD HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND USING IT TO COMMUTE MY FAMILY. FORD SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES IT IS A DANGER TO PERSONAL SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A NEAR-ZERO TEMPERATURE MORNING APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE FROM LEAVING MY GARAGE, MY VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND SET TWO OBD CODES P2560/ P1299 . MEANING WITH NO WARNING MY SPEED WENT FROM 40 MPH TO LESS THAN 3 MPH. NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY ENGINE FOR 2014 FORD ESCAPES BUT NONE FOR A 2013. THIS IS A KNOWN COOLANT SENSOR PROBLEM. ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THIS HAS CAUSED MANY KNOWN ACCIDENTS. THERE IS NO WARNING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM AN ENGINE VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ONLY THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SPECIAL TOOL TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. ASHLAND FORD CHRYSLER (28715 US-2, ASHLAND, WI 54806, (715) 682-8400) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IN FORWARD AND REVERSE WHEN CAR STARTS UP FROM STOP ON CITY ROAD.

ENGLINE LIGHT COMES ON DUE TO COOLANT LEAK. LEAK HAS BEEN FIXED AND CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT THE ENGINE. MOST OF THE COOLANT CONTAINER, VALVES AND EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN FIXED STILL IT CONTINUES. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. THE CAR IS STATIONERY, JUST AFTER STARTING IT SAYS COOLANT IS LOW AND ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE POURED MONEY INTO THIS CAR FOR COOLANT ISSUES FOR THE PAST YEAR, AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING.

THE INFORMATION PANEL ON MY SUV IS STARTING TO GET DARK OR SHALL I SAY IT GOES SLIGHTLY DARK. I CANNOT SEE MILEAGE AND CAN BARELY SEE THAT MY LIGHTS ARE ON. SOMETIMES THERE ARE WHITE LIGHTS GOING UP AND DOWN ON SCREEN

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE AND IT STALLS IN THE PARKING. I DRIVE TO THE STORE AND PARK DO MY SHOPPING I START THE CAR AND BEGIN TO PULL AWAY AND IT DIES OR STALLS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT AND STARTS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BUT STALLS OR DIES AND ENGINE FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT STARTED IN EARLY FEB OF THIS YEAR

TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD SHORTLY LEAVING THE HOUSE AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR A WEEK IN THE GARAGE. CITY STREETS AND PARKING LOT. HAD TO BACK UP MORE THAN ONCE TO NEGOTIATE A PARKING SPOT. MADE IT HOME OF ABOUT 4 MILES. POWER STERRING WAS GONE.

CAR MILAGE 11500 FUEL PUMP MAKING WEIRD NOISE AND THEN CAUSING CAR TO STALL SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT IDLE WHEN COMING TO A SLOWER STOP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP 5 MONTHS AGO WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. ALSO WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALER THAT THERE IS SOME ISSUES WITH THE FUEL MODULE THAT CAUSES THE PUMP TO FAIL. I AM TAKING THIS IN TOMORROW TO RECTIFY. MUST BE THE FUEL MODULE AFTER ALL.

2013 FORD ESCAPE 1.6L ENGINE STALLS WHEN ENGINE IS WARMED UP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF HOUR OF DRIVING AFTER GETTING TO DESTINATION AND HAVING BEEN RESTARTED, ENGINE STALLS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER HAVING BEEN SITTING IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. WILL STALL OCCASIONALLY UP TO THREE TIMES IN QUICK SUCCESSION. WILL EVENTUALLY START AND NOT STALL. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN PARKING LOTS BUT VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND BROAD SIDED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IS STALLED IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION (I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER) AND IT WOULD NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY. MY MECHANIC REPLACED AN 02 SENSOR, BUT WITHIN A WEEK IT STALLED AGAIN, THIS TIME AS I DROVE ON A CITY STREET. THIS TIME IT RESTARTED AFTER I PULLED OVER.

THE EPS SYSTEM FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER A COMPLETE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE MAKES TURNING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT (NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE). I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO HINT OF A PROBLEM. PARKED IT IN A GARAGE, AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE "STEERING ASSIST FAULT." FORTUNATELY, I WAS AT HOME, I DRIVE COUNTRY ROADS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND HAD THIS HAPPENED AT THAT TIME I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO NAVIGATE THE TURNS.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE CONSTANTLY IS LOSING ANTIFREEZE SOMEWHERE... I DON'T KNOW IF ITS LEAKING OUT AND EVAPORATING ON THE ENGINE OR WHAT... BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON AND I WILL FIND THAT I AM EXTREMELY LOW ON ANTIFREEZE.... I TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IS HAS NO OPEN RECALLS, BUT I DO SEE THAT THIS EXACT YEAR HAD AN IDENTICAL RECALL DONE

THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP IN A KROGER PARKING LOT GOING 5 MILES AN HOUR. ONLY 81,000 MILE AND JUST HAD 80,000 MANUFACTURERS CHECK UP THREE WEEKS EARLIER. WOULD NOT GO INTO NEUTRAL AND SOUNDED LIKE CRUMPLING PAPER UNDERNEATH. TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP PUTTING REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION INTO ESCAPE. DOES NOT HAVE A TIMELINE ON WHEN IT WILL BE FINISHED.

DOORS WILL SHUT AND REMAIN SHUT EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND CHILD LOCKS ARE DISENGAGED. A DOOR THAT IS NOT SECURELY LATCHED OR LATCHED INDEFINITELY COULD OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION INCREASING THE RISK OF AN INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STICKS 75% OF THE TIME, WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH 73K MILES. LAST WEEK AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN COOLANT WAS ADDED IT DRAINED OUT OF THE WATER PUMP ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. APPARENTLY FORD IS THE ONLY RESOURCE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT AS IT HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED. THIS REPAIR CAME TO $1600. I HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL ON LINE FORUMS WHERE FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE COOLANT LEVEL LOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM FALK MOTORS OF MAUI AT 808-270-2600 (LOCATED AT 260 HANA HWY, KAHULUI, HI 96732) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,500.

CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN IT RAINS AND IT TAKES SEVERAL TRY'S AND IT FINALLY STARTS. GOING DOWN THE ROAD ALL DASH LIGHTS INCLUDING RADIO GOES OUT AND THE OFF AND ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS. WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN START BACK UP. HAPPENS ON CITY AND HWY. HIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW.

I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE LUG NUTS DUE TO SWELLING, BECAUSE THE DESIGN OF THE ORIGINAL IS DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PCM AND MAP ON JAN.7 2016, I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2018, THE VEHICLE IS STILL HESITATING AND WANTING STALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN PARK OR COMING TO A STOP. SO THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. ALSO, THE MYFORD TOUCH SCREEN SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESPOND, WON'T CONNECT A PHONE OR THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK, THIS HAPPENS WHEN FIRST GETTING IN TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS ALL STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT.

BOUGHT VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, WHICH SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS CONTINUOUSLY GOING INTO A LIMP MODE DUE TO "FALSE OVERHEATING". ENGINE THINKS IT IS OVERHEATING WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING VEHICLE, AND WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WITH 20 DEGREE WEATHER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN ENGINE TO FULLY WARM. OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 12/31/18 - ONE TIME, A RESTART OF THE VEHICLE RESOLVED 1/10/19 - ONE TIME, LEFT VEHICLE AT WORK AT AFTER DRIVING 2/15/19 - 4 TIMES IN A ROW, AND HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP 2/18/19 - SOON AFTER THE SHOP HAD IT AND REPAIRED A COOLANT LEAK. LIMP MODE OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS NOT NOT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BUT I GENUINELY FEARED FOR MY LIFE. WHILE THE SHOP WAS HAVING TROUBLE REPLICATING THE PROBLEM TODAY, AS WAS I, THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN. OVERHEATING CODE WAS PULLED BY COLUMBIA CAR CARE IN COLUMBIA, MO. STEVE, THE OWNER OF THE SHOP CAN ATTEST TO THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. OTHER FORD ESCAPES WITH THE 1.6 MOTOR HAVE RECALLS FOR COOLING ISSUES, AND IT IS INTERESTING THAT MINE DOES NOT HAVE RECALLS PER YOUR WEB SITE. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.

WHILE DRIVING, MY ENGINE COOLANT LOW NOTICE CAME ON AND THEN A BEEPING STARTED AND THE WARNING CAME UP THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO STOP SAFELY. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED, A HEATER HOSE AND COOLANT REPLACED. 3 WEEKS LATER, AGAIN AFTER A COLD START (IT WAS 25 OUT) I STARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE COOLANT LOW WARNING CAME ON AND RIGHT AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE, THE WARNING NOISES CAME ON AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD IT CHECKED BY BOTH FORD AND ANOTHER MECHANIC. THE OTHER MECHANIC WAS TOLD BY FORD IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE HOWEVER, FORD SAYS THERE IS NOT UPDATE AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL FIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10 MINUTES STARTED SMOKING AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. TOTALED CAR. HAD RECENTLY HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SAY WARNING HIGH TEMP. STOP SAFELY. TOOK TO FORD THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR ON BACKORDER. TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NOT REALLY OVERHEATING

CONSTANTLY FILLING WITH ANTIFREEZE AND CANNOT FIND A LEAK. REPLACED WATER PUMP HOPING TO SOLVE PROBLEM DID NOT. NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM ON GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND SOME CARS DID HAVE RECALL FOR THIS REASON. NOT SURE WHY MINE WAS NOT

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING. IN MOTION, TYPICALLY JUST AFTER APPLYING GAS OR WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. FIRESTONE AUTO REPAIR STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS PRODUCING HIGH VOLTAGE AND CAUSING ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY. THEY REPALCED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY, BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS.

MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE SEL 1.6L WITH ECOBOOST IS HAVING THE SAME COOLANT ISSUES AS MANY SIMILAR MODELS HAVE BEEN HAVING. HOWEVER, MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECALL SO I HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL DESPITE IT CLEARLY BEING THE EXACT INSTANCE IN WHICH THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. FOR A CLARIFICATION OF THE ISSUE. THE COOLANT IS RAPIDLY DEPLETING DESPITE NO VISIBLE LEAKS OR SMELLS OF IT BURNING OFF, INDICATING THAT IT'S LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE (FIRE HAZARD AS ITS A POTENTIAL TO IGNITE) CAUSED IN PART BY FAULTY HOSING EQUIPMENT. WHEN THE COOLANT LEVELS GET TOO LOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND AN IMMEDIATE ALERT THAT THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING... EVEN THOUGH THE TEMPERATURE REMAINS UNCHANGED. THE CAR THEN BEGINS TO STALL UNTIL THE COOLANT LEVELS ARE RETURNED TO NORMAL.

MY WIPERS HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING MULTIPLE TIMES AT THIS POINT EVEN AFTER REPLACING 2 MODULES MEANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE WIPER LOCATOR SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AFTER STARTING THE CAR.

THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT AFTER BEING OFF FOR 0-60 MINUTES. I WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THEN THE CAR STARTS SHAKING AND SHUTS DOWN.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. YOU CAN ONLY ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WILL RESTART AFTER SITTING AWHILE. VERY DANGEROUS.

HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT INTERMITTENTLY FOR PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. DEALER CHECKED IN PAST BUT NO CAUSE FOUND. HAS GOTTEN WORSE PAST MONTH. TODAY TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT IS LEAKING COOLANT FROM THE ENGINE AND THE 1.6 ECOBOOST NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $2500. VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 55,000 MILES WITH ALL PREVENTIVE SERVICES PERFORMED. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS OTHER THAN A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ON EARLY VERSIONS OF THE ESCAPE WITH SOME RECALLS DONE. THIS PRESENTS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ENGINE CATCHING ON FIRE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSA WITH EXTENSION OF SAFETY RECALLS TO PROTECT ALL ECOBOOST ENGINES. FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

THIS CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM AS 2014 MODEL AND THAT MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR COOLANT LEAK ON ENGINE THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE OVERHEATING OR ENGINE FORE, FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON 2013 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS ABSURD.

AFTER STOPPING IN MY GARAGE AND EXITING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED AND BASICALLY JUST BOUNCED OPEN AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I OPEN AND CLOSED THE HANDLE ON THE OUTSIDE AND ON THE INSIDE. AFTER THIS I COULD CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED FOR OVER A MONTH.

RECALLS ON FORD ESCAPE. I AM AWARE THAT A LOT OF THE 2013 FORD ESCAPES HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT I HAVE A LEAK IN MY COOLANT HOSE THAT I AM HAVING TO REPLACE NOW. I HAVE HAD A LOTS OF TROUBLE OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK AND MY CAR FOR THE LONGEST TIME WOULD JUST STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AFTER TAKING OFF.

THE CAR LOOSES COOLANT INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY 2012, JUST OUTSIDE THE DATES REPORTED ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK FROM COOLANT LEAKS ON THESE VEHICLES.

SEATBELT FAILS TO RETRACT PROPERLY. THE TENSION ON THE RETURN IS INADEQUATE. IT WILL RETRACT BY PUSHING THE SEAT BELT BACK INTO THE SLOT TO SOME EXTENT BUT NOT FULLY AND CERTAINLY NOT ON IT'S OWN.
