Stalls randomly at low RPM, seemingly it's same exact symptoms as recall 14s17 which was for the larger 2.0 motor. Vehicle hesitates and stalls and wont start easily. This happened on four separate occasions over 6month period. Vehicle only has 50,000 miles
2013 Ford Escape fuel system complaints
Page 8 of 11: complaints 191 to 220 of 287, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car hesitates sometimes when pressing the gas, mostly from the stopped position. For instance I've been driving and stop at a stop sign, check for oncoming traffic on the cross street(which does not have a stop sign/signal), when it is safe to proceed I press the gas to cross the intersection and the car slowly rolls out into the intersection and then finally after rolling for a few seconds will pick up and go. This happens while I'm pressing down on the gas pedal all the way. It's very dangerous while trying to cross a street with oncoming traffic. I've tried lifting my foot and pressing back down when the car doesn't move like it's supposed to and it doesn't work. It's only started doing this in the last year or so maybe and it doesn't happen every time, but very scary when it does happen, especially when I have my kids in the car. I've also had it happen when I've been on the freeway and have had to slow down from taking an exit onto another freeway and when trying to get back up to speed and it like it takes it a minute for the car to realize it's supposed to be accelerating.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, it stalled without warning on more than one occasion. After the failures, the contact turned the vehicle off and it was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to several independent mechanics. Coggin deland ford-lincoln (2655 north volusia avenue, orange city, florida 32763, (386) 490-4325) was made aware of the failures and replaced the low pressure fuel pump sensor. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case numbers: cas-as15834530 and cas-1576. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
I brought my car to a mechanic because there was a strong gas smell in my car during and after operating. My mechanic informed me the fuel line from the rail into pulsator/damper is leaking. He said the cable next to the fuel line has been rubbing against it and caused the leak. There is a current the federal safety agency recall 13v584000 for my exact car make, model, production date and engine style but my VIN is not listed as an affected vehicle, yet it is experiencing the exact issue. The ford dealership will not address this as a recall because of this. The mechanic stated what he observed is exactly in line with the recall.
2013 ford escape, stalling, loosing power dash lighting up while driving. Dealer service dept can find nothing wrong.
1. Mis-firing causing the entire vehicle to rock, seen mainly when the engine is in gear with the break engaged at a stop signal. 2. Sudden over-revving seen on the tachometer. 3. The over-revving usually precedes the engine temperature spiking into the critical area. This is most likely to happen on inclines. Pulling over, shutting down the engine allowing it to cool down for 10-15 minutes, then everything is fine. I have learned to watch for the over-revving, then apply the brake to stop the over-revving. Then has allowed me to keep the over-heating in check.
My 2013 ford escape has stalled several times while driving, only to restart again and seem fine. Recently it stalled and would not start up.
I have driven this 2013 escape for 2.5 years. We have 34,838 miles on it. In the past year the following issues have arisen. 1) heat sensor has gone bad, warning lights and bells signaling a serious problem, as the car shuts down. Car will not start. Replaced twice in 8 months. 2) left passenger door will not close - latch issue as stated in the federal safety agency recall 16v643. 3) in the past two weeks, the car will stall without any warning. Not overheating. Computer diagnostics show no problem. This has happened while driving on the highway, residential driving with frequent stop signs, pulling onto the highway, in parking lots, a short trip usually does not produce the problem, however, if we are running errands and make more than one (1) stop, we will definately experience the stall during the drive home. Car will coast to a stop, no indication from gauges of any engine issues. Car hesitantly restarts. We proceed with extreme caution, as we do not know when it will stall again, and in what traffic situation. It is at the dealer to have 3 recalls addressed, and they will 'determine' if they can identify the reason for the stall. I have taken the car to another mechanic, who did not get to drive the car until a few hours after I dropped it off. Of course, diagnostic testing produced no results and the mechanic drove the car once, for ten minutes - stall did not occur. Noted that this issue has been record with the federal safety agency 40 times, and a recall has not been issued. This is a safety hazard. In response to question below, "when did this happen?", I am provided the most recent date: 08/19/2018. (it happens daily). I contact the dealer last week and was told to bring it in 08/20.
When driving on a highway the vehicle suddenly slowed down and the throttle did not work. I pulled off, shut the engine and restarted the car. It then ran ok. The same thing happened 2 other times - as if the gas pedal did not work. I saw on internet that escapes has a history of throttle problems, including my year. I took it to the ford dealer in columbia mo and they said , based on the VIN #, that my car was supposedly not affected by this throttle issue. They said they could do nothing but charge me to replace the electronic throttle control. This is wrong. I could get seriously injured if this happens again but ford takes no responsibilty for a known problem.
While driving down the road the smell of gas became very strong. I was able to pull over and looking under the car you could see fuel pouring from the engine compartment. I took a video of this to show the dealer. I was able to get the vehicle to the dealer as I was about a mile away. The tech determined that the fuel jumper hose was bad and needed replaced. I asked them if my vehicle was part of the recall that dealt with this exact issue and part, they said no. The recall was for escapes built out of the louisville, ky plant up to july 11, 2012, mine was built on july 30, 2012 from the louisville, ky plant. Coincidence, I don't think so. Fords words from the dealer is they are washing their hands of this and then charged me almost $300 to fix what is a known issue with these vehicles. Not even a day later (18 hours) after picking up the car my vehicle overheats and is pouring radiator fluid on the ground. The dealer towed it back to the shop and is looking at it now. I know there is a recall for this as well, how much do you want to bet my vehicle is just outside this recall like the other one. This is crap and I think ford is aware that the problems pertaining to these recalls extends past the dates they have listed. Please investigate this.
This has happened now (2) separate times a month apart. While driving down the road at 70-75 MPH the vehicle will loose power and tell me to pull over. I am not able to restart vehicle and the engine temperature will spike to hot. This all happens in a matter of seconds with little or no time to react and pull vehicle to a safe spot. There has been radiator fluid pouring over the engine on both times this has happened and is now costing me a lot of money to fix. I feel that this is an issue with the escape in general and not with just mine.
Gas smell in cabin. Car was in park when smell started.
I have already submitted one statement. I am just wondering why my vehicle wasn't included on the recalls listed below when it sounds like the exact kind of problem I have been having with my vehicle. When started it doesn't take off and get up to speed without hesitation and stalling. And when I do get up to speed it loses power at the most inopportune time I have been in several near accidents due to the engine not running properly. The codes that have been coming up. And the check engine suggestions. Have been tested by four different mechanics none of which could fall find a problem till recently. And I'm being told that the turbo boost code is been caused by faulty wiring which is happened to be totally replaced. As per my other statement I am having it repaired tomorrow but not being reimbursed. And if other 2013 ford escape drivers have had this issue there may be some unrecorded desk due to the engine stalling on the highway and the inconsistent running up the engine when these codes pop up. The codes are also sporadic as I said in my other statement. One time you turn the car on and have a problem shut it off and the next time the codes are cleared. I have been living with this daily for a month
Engine light and service engine soon message appeared. Car stalling and won't accelerate. Took to victory ford in kansas city after 5 hours they couldn't figure out what the problem was other than replacing the sensor. Hundred and $69 for the diagnosis. I was out of town so baby. Did it all the way back home had a local dealership put the sensor in. Another $74.. In the meantime engine code would sporadically disappear. And reappear period for no apparent reason. Had the local dealership check the code again keeps reading turbo problems. They're ford machine was down so I took it to a dealership in the next town. Specific coding showed that is a wiring and splice problem. In the meantime I've almost been run over several times because the car won't accelerate when the code is thrown. If there's a problem with the wiring harness it should have been covered under a recall which I've been told it is not. And tomorrow dealership is replacing all of the splicing and wiring for another $450. I'm afraid that the problem may have caused other issues. But won't know until after the original problem is fixed. I feel like a couple of the wiring issues that have been recalled already should have included this. And forward should have to reimburse me for my cost since this is obviously a manufacture problem and not normal wear and tear when car is in motion there is a whirring sound I've been told is due to the electrical problem.

Stuttering when idle, usually after filling the tank up. Check engine light on. Giving error code p1450. I have already had evap vent solenoid fixed twice in january of this year(2018) light came on again today. Same code
This happened 2x in my 2013 ford escape. When I pressed on the gas pedal there was no response. Luckily I happened to be in safe areas when this happened. I had to shut down and restart the car in order to drive it. I brought it into the dealership and was told the throttle body needed to be replaced for $1800. I commute 120 miles a day - I cannot afford to be in an unsafe car with my children.
Vehicle sold to me as part of military car sales program overseas. When attempting to fulfill recalls at overseas location, ford dealership said they are unable to acquire the parts necessary for completing the recalls in the uk.

2013 ford escape. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs. *ld
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. While driving 40 MPH, the contact noticed that the "coolant low service required" and "service engine" warning indicators illuminated. Also, the vehicle began to stall. The contact drove to a fuel station and bought coolant for the vehicle. After adding the coolant with the vehicle parked for no more than five minutes, the contact started the vehicle. The "coolant low service" warning message was no longer illuminated; however, the "service engine" indicator was still illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The next day, the contact drove the vehicle to sames ford (6001 san dario ave, laredo, tx 78041) where it was diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The dealer repaired the water pump, but the failure recurred three weeks later. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to continue to work with the dealer. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a total of three times to have the water pump, coolant box, and radiator hose repaired. The vehicle was not repaired and the failures still occurred. There were no recalls associated with the vehicle. The contact planned to take the vehicle back to the dealer today. The failure mileage was 55,000.

Our 2013 ford escape sel has been stalling out while driving. Our VIN was not included in the previous recall but the symptoms ate exactly as described in 2.0 liter recall. This event happens every couple days sometimes twice a day. It tends to happen shortly after starting and merging/turning from a stop/intersection. We've taken it to a ford dealer but they weren't able to fix it. Seems like a big safety issue to stall while driving.
Engine is suddenly saying high temp engine stop slowly then check engine light wil come on and low coolant fluid. Been doing it on and off for a year. Takeit to ford dealer and it will not do it for them. Fluid is full.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. While driving, the contact smelled anti-freeze and fuel throughout the vehicle. After the vehicle was filled with fuel, the fuel began to leak. While driving, the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to covert ford lincoln (11514 research blvd, austin, tx 78758 at (512) 345-4343), but no diagnostic failure codes were found. The failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
My car caught on fire november 12th 2017. One day after york ford repaired car that I picked up on november 11th 2017.york ford said it was on warranty ,never mentioned a recall, car kept stalling, york had it twice for repairs, it caught on fire when I was driving the very next day. Later found out ford had 139,000 recalls on 2013 escapes for fuel lines and potential engine fires. I do have photos and a video because after I called 911 I had my phone out. Mass state police and revere fire dept. Responded mapfre insurance co. Declared it a total loss.. Donna from york ford told me to fill the tank up because they put a cleaner in the fuel.??? Please email me so I can send you the photos and provide any other documentation.
While driving down the highway at 65 MPH, an alert appeared stating "low coolant". In the past the car had stated the same alert before alarming that the car was overheating and needed to be pulled over. At that point the car would then going into limp mode. Due to this history, we knew we had to attempt to get to the side of the highway as soon as possible. Within one minute, the car did alarm "overheating" and went into limp mode. We were only able to get to the left hand shoulder of an on-ramp (middle of the highway). At this point we got out of the car and found that the coolant level was normal. After waiting 20 minutes we drove in reverse up the on-ramp to get off the highway, because we were confident we could not safely get to the next exit (several miles away). We then had the car towed to a local ford dealer (phil long ford of denver). This is the dealership where we had previously brought our vehicle to repair this same issue. At that time, the dealership replaced a broken temperature sensor, stating that this was what was causing the overheating issues. Our vehicle also had maintenance completed on it as part of the 13s12 recall (risk of overheating) in 2015. The issue clearly has not been resolved after multiple "fixes" have been performed.
As many other ford escape 2013 owners, my car stopped working properly putting my life and those of my wife and kids at risk. It started when the engin began to cut off when idle. At the begining, there were no check engine light. Car will restart but a 150 m later the engine will start fighting to stay on and most of the time the engine lose the battle. So I restart again until ( after 2, or 3 times) the engine stays constantly on. My big concern was with the hazardous and risky situations I found myself in, specially while getting inro a busy road or a high way and having the engine to shut down andlet I didn't have time when the engine let me out of power. Some drivers are in hurry and might not have the time to stop their vehicle before hitting me. That's why I always parked my car on the sidewalks while in distress. When I took the car to one of ford dealers, they couldn't find the issue. I took it to a private mechanic and he made me change a lot of pieces but still not fixed yet. I am going back to the dealer and hopefully they'll fix the issue. It cost me $ 2500 until now and still looking for the issue.
I was driving down i49, shreveport, la. At approximately 65 MPH, high tempature warning came on followed by engine failure warning, as I was making my way to the roadside engine shut down. Steam started coming from under the hood, when the vehical came to a stop, I popped the hood, as I got out of the car I noticed a small amount of blue smoke, followed by black smoke, I did not open hood, 30 seconds latter flames were shooting from under the hood, I called 911 as the flames engulfed the front of the car
For months now I've been feeling tired and drowsy while driving in the car-at times fighting to keep my eyes open. I recently saw the news about carbon monoxide leak in ford explorers and think my car may also have the same issue. After I saw the story I drove with my window open and did not feel the drowsiness that I have felt the lsat few months. I would recommend the investigation extend beyond just the ford explorer but through all of ford's other models like the ford escape. This is a very serious and life threatening issue.
