Ford mec pump recall, did not help after replacing part. My escape died on me while going 70 MPH on a busy highway, with my 18-month old son in the back seat. The "stop safely now" message appeared and I was barely able to get over 3 lanes onto the shoulder before it stopped completely, with cars speeding right past me. This was very dangerous. It happened 2 more times on the way home. This was during the last half of just a 20 mile trip.
2006 Ford Escape Hybrid fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The brake system is very irritating because my ABS and brake light are on at weird times and to fix they said it would cost me $4500. That's ridiculous I can't afford something like that. It also just started spitting gas out at me when I go to fill it up. Did it to me twice the other day and I have no idea what the reasoning was for that never had happen before. Then when I go to drove off sometimes the vehicle likes to make a pop noise once or twice not sure what that's all about. These cars are have more problems then they are worth.

I am sitting on I-95 in connecticut and almost got into an accident. My truck just stopped. The red triangle with the explanation point came on and the car flashed "stop safely". All systems are normal. This has happened 3 times this trip and I'll be lucky to get home alive.
When in the middle of an intersection, suddenly the "stop safely now" light came on and the vehicle immediately shut down. The shut down appears to have been caused by a faulty coolant system. From online reports, this is a frequent problem with this model and is very unsafe. I was almost hit by surrounding traffic because of the immediate loss of power and control.
