My 2006 ford escape hybrid is stalling on the highway creating an unsafe condition. This seems to be due to a fault in the external hybrid inverter cooling pump. This has occurred 5+ times,usually during 70 degree (f) + temps. I've contacted the local dealership & ford motor corp ran the VIN,with no recall. Please investigate.

My 2006 ford escape was purchased in august of 2005. Four months later, november 2005, I was pulling into a parking slot in front of a restaurant, with my foot on the brake, when it surged ahead, went over a concrete block, took down two poles, and hit another vehicle. At the time I thought it was the brakes, but no one could find anything wrong with the brakes. People said I probably stepped on the accelerator, but I was convinced that I did not. I could not prove anything. July 22, 2018, twelve years later, it happened again. I was pulling into a parking slot in the back of my church parking lot. The engine revved up and the car surged forward, with my foot on the brake, and it happened so quickly, there was nothing I could do. I went over a concrete block and smashed into the sanctuary wall. I was injured and had problems for about a month and a half. I read an article on the internet from the federal safety agency on torque news that the north carolina consumers council (nccc) says that these vehicles are equipped with an electronic throttle body system that could fail - causing the engine to either surge or stall. This is only under investigation now, no recall. I am sure this is what happened to my vehicle, but I cannot prove or do anything about it. I have been driving my escape for 13 years and only had 50,000 miles on it, but I had it totaled. It could have been repaired, but I could not take the chance of it happening again. What if I had hurt someone or will someone have to die before they have a recall on the escapes? It is too late for me to do anything about my 2006 escape, but please do something about this problem before someone gets hurt or dies. I did purchase another escape, a 2011. I hope nothing happens to this one. Please have a recall on these vehicles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford escape. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart after several attempts, but would stall after it was placed into gear. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the coils failed and were not getting signals from the power train control module. The PCM coil and plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,127.

Car has been stalling periodically for the past month on city streets (mostly) and highway (without any warning signs). Each time would bring to mechanic but no codes would show up. Happened again yesterday, this time the engine light came on, code that showed up was p2112. Bringing to ford dealer tomorrow to fix throttle body.

A couple months ago, I bought a 2006 ford escape, but within a short time it started shutting down with no warning. I lost all power (steering and brakes) and had to pull the emergency brake to stop. Thank god I was near a parking lot and there was no cars coming. Now, every time I drive it, the problem gets worse. When going up hills and at higher speeds, it spits and sputters and sometimes it will just shut down while driving! It has gotten progressively worse and now when I stop at a stop sign and start to pull out at an intersection it just shuts off. The car will start right back up but it is so dangerous when it just shuts off going down the road. I have put it in the garage twice, but both times they couldn't find anything wrong and there are no codes being thrown. I also took it to a ford dealer, but they could find nothing wrong.. But something needs to be done, its so dangerous and I'm afraid to drive the car.
