My car has stalled numerous times and have had 2 different shops look at this and this isnt the fuel pump and the drive module was replaced to try and this didnt fix no issues with this and they said there is something def wrong with this and there are numerous recalls on the same issue as with my car for these cars. Wiring harness or ecu issues is what I am being told possibly. This car is a danger. From the first time I bought this in the shop and I dont even drive this car much at all. This is a danger and Ford needs to address these cars. My car stopping in the middle of the road and I almost was rear ended.

We have a 2013 ford escape and it dies/stalls out periodically. When this happens, there is no warning and typically it is after idling (ex: at a stop light). My daughter was at a stop light after getting gas and once the light turned green, and she began to accelerate, the vehicle died and she had to coast across a 7 lane busy street to get out of traffic. This is not a new problem, it has happened on more than one occasion. We have taken it to the mechanic and it doesn't typically bring up a "code" on the machine they use. On one occasion, it did and we replaced the fuel pump ($600) which did not solve the problem. This is a huge safety concern!!! And after reading some additional information, there are a lot of people with the same problem! Please do something!

Dangerous intermittent problem where vehicle stalls without warning while driving. This requires the driver to pull over, stop, put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. Frequently once it stalls, it is not safe to pull back out into traffic right away because it usually stalls again. I replaced the high pressure fuel pump, but the car continues to stalls at random while driving. No check engine light appears.

2013 ford escape ecoboost 1.6 my vehicle stalls at low speeds or while idling. This only seems to happen after the vehicle is warm. It never happens first thing in the morning only after I have parked the vehicle for a short period of maybe 30 min or less or while idling. Sometimes the RPM would shoot up to 6 and the vehicle feels like it is thrusting forward after which it would either stall immediately or I am able to keep driving without issue. It has happened in the middle of a busy intersection and luckily there was a police officer passing and he was able to escort me to a side street while the vehicle stalled a real times to get there. Before I pull on to a road after stalling I have with traffic I have to drive around the parking lot to make sure that the vehicle will not stall again before pulling into traffic. This has also happened on the highway on ramp after I had just refueled. Once the vehicle passes the stalling issue it drives without issue. I have so far replaced the fuel pump and flp sensor and this has not fixed the problem. This has also happened in stop and go traffic. I am actually scared for my life driving this vehicle. I won't allow my daughter to drive it for fear it may kill her.

Car will intermittently stall, generally after starting. Regardless of giving it gas (pedal to the floor), it stalls. I have had both the fuel pressure sensor and high pressure fuel pump replaced twice (each), and yet the problem still exists. Local mechanic had no idea what could be causing it.

Vehicle repeatedly stalls after starting the vehicle and taking off. The vehicle will start and then I begin driving and it will shutter, lose acceleration ability, and stall out. Then I have to put the vehicle in park in the middle of the road or parking lot and restart. Sometimes it starts after a little delay just fine, and other times I had happened back to back two to three times. No warning lights remain. I also had coolant leak occur. Just got engine hoses, sensors, a new fuel pump in hopes of fixing the coolant leak and the stalling. Too soon to tell if the coolant problem is gone, but stalling is still occurring! Feels extremely unsafe in a vehicle that randomly stalls out while driving.

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.
