2015 Ford Escape: fuel pump failure

Filed Sep 3, 2025 · Engine, Fuel system · OR

UNKNOWN, but appears like other version of Ford Escape the 2015 suffers from the same fuel pump issues. On at least 10 moments the car stalls and dies during driving. When brought to Fords attention, they have on 2 times indicated that no error codes or way of duplicating problem. I had independent car repair place as well look into the issue with the same response. We now only drive the car if we have to and only in short areas where we are not driving on the freeway and if we can walk home. Please add this to the recalls.

With no warning, car suddenly refused to start after parking it for a brief errand. Jump starting had no effect (battery was healthy and fully charged). Keys would switch instrument cluster on but cluster would go dark when key was turned to start position or when shifter release was pulled. After reviewing YouTube, other owners found that the 50A mega fuse connected to the fuel pump and BCM (yellow wire) would degrade to the point that its internal connection would become intermittent. This causes intermittent no-start condition and could result in the vehicle shutting off while being driven on the road. Rapping on the front panel of the battery box can temporarily reconnect the internal failure of the fuse and allow the car to start.

The contact had called a dealer in her area and was informed that they could not offer any assistance. The manufacturer had also been notified of the failure but offered no assistance.

I am having problems with stalling. I have had the map sensor replaced, the purge valve system done twice and the fuel pump was replaced. This car was built in december 2014. I took it to holman ford in turnersville nj and they could not figure out why it is stalling. I feel it is the same issue that they had recalled 2.0 ecoboost escapes. Check engine light is on and I cannot drive it more then a few miles, then it doesn't start. I have looked online and I feel this is part of the recall14s17...ssm47575. Holman ford couldn't figure out what was wrong and said they were talking to the engineers. What a joke I had to pay for them to put on for the codes but it wasn't even correct. This stalling happens wherever I am driving within the first few miles of the day then I don't try to drive because it will stahl. This has been happening for the last year and hall

Engine shut off while driving. Car also has been having a starting issue. The instrument cluster would come on, fuel pump would prime, go to start and nothing. If the battery was unplugged for 5 minutes it was more likely to start. Thankfully it happen on a city street and not the highway that I was going to be getting on.
