Coolant leaking into the engine. While on motion engine over heat and made the car shake . From that time noise is coming from the engine.. Coolant level goes low until tank goes empty . No alert giving when coolant drop off levels , at the same time oil levels increase.....
Stalls after starting ... The car will start just fine but a few seconds or minutes later will stall once I am already on the road. Also if sitting with out running for a while car will stall and turn off. In traffic this is also an issue, freeway closed one time and had to sit in standing traffic in hwy and car just turned off. Several times when pulling out of driveway or the scariest part a shooing strip parking lot onto a busy feeder road the car will stall and turn off.
My car all of a sudden has a loss of engine coolant and overheats to extremely high temperatures. Then this causes the car to stall as I'm driving it. This was part of a recall of other ford escapes but somehow my car was not added to this list.
On at least 9 occasions over the last year, car stalled when coming out of a parking lot, driving straight at 10mph or less. Sequence was: 1) the car was warmed up driving to a store; 2) engine was off for at least twenty minutes while in store; 3) after leaving store and starting car, the car stalled within a minute. Upon stalling, engine could be restarted without any problem. Have no knowledge of the cause. No parts had been replaced on the car.
While driving the car stalled out or died. The interior lights and radio were not affected. The car was still on but the rpms were at 0 and I could not accelerate properly. I had to shut the car off and restart it.
I own a 2013 ford escape. I can be driving along and all of a sudden it stalls with no warning. We have taken it to the shop and after lots of money out of pocket , I still do not have a resolution. They can't find anything wrong. Ford needs to recall these vehicles and fix the problem.
The car will run for about a minute and then want to stall. Also when you start it it will drive for about 20 yards and then start idling very weird and stall. It doesn't do this all the time. It's dangerous.
The vehicle hesitates then stalls even when in drive. This has happened in the city streets when approaching a stop sign and when pulling forward at a green light at an intersection. Pressing the gas pedal but does not re-engage and stalls. I have replaced all sparks plugs and cleaned the injectors and fuel lines. This is happening more and more - the dealership is at a loss.
My 2013 ford escape has lost coolant since it was brand new. I brought it into the dealership where I bought it multiple times and they could never figure out the source of the leak. It was slow, so I let it go. I just add a little coolant every couple months. This should not be the case in a new vehicle. Well, now it is 2019 and I have an all out leak. I have to add coolant every few days. I leave a puddle on any parking spot I use for a few hours or more. This model year, and engine (1.6 ecoboost) is known for this issue. I fear it is coming from the engine block, and I'm out a lot of money.
Smell of antifreeze around engine. Resovoir was low but no sign of leaks or wet spots on garage floor. Very apparent smell of antifreeze. Vechile oil was changed about a month ago and antifreeze was added to overflow tank, but no leaks were foun.
Vehicle has had frequent "engine stalls," where there is hesitation and stumbling with the rpms moving from 1-6 sporadically. Frequent power loss with engine, and while driving on the nys thruway, almost caused an accident when vehicle engine light began to flash with major power loss. After this occurred, it was was found by the local ford dealership to require an engine replacement. This vehicle is a 2013 ford escape and had 56,000 miles on it when this occurred.
Heat gauge goes to normal but little to no heat. Air conditioner had to be repaired by mike bass ford sheffield ohio I have changed rotors ,calipers and brake pads 2 times in 2 years and 8000 miles I purchased the cat 09/28/2017 with 30849 miles
The engine shuts down while driving on city street. It happens at least twice when it happens and within 5 minutes of having started the vehicle. It happens randomly.

My car started showing engine overheating and when I took it in to dealer they confirmed a crack leaking fluid into engine. Recall work done in 2014 was to avoid this from happening and now they are telling me I have to buy a new $6000 engine to have it run again. They won't cover it under their recall. I wrote the bbb but they refuse to honor it because I didn't buy an extended warranty. The car just turned 6 yrs old. I'm the only owner and purchased it new.
Previously had dealer repair coolant leak hoses in firewall but not listed in recall as was focus/fusion. Took a week to complete. Engine just had a high temp friday the 13th while driving two miles on a stretch and stalled out. Turned off climate system and drove to dealer the next morning.
The engine stalls at intersections. I've noticed it's when the fuel is low (40 miles or fewer to empty)
