Driver was driving on dirt road on a hot day. The temperature was 102 degrees outside. The vehicle begin to lose power and suddenly it just stalled. The driver then waited a few minutes and turned the vehicle back on and it happened again until it finally wouldn't turn back on. This time the driver waited an additional 20 minutes and finally it worked again until they made it back to a gas station. The fuel level was barely under a half a tank. The vehicle tends to shut down on a hot day when fuel goes below a half a tank. It is consistent with other 2016 ford escapes.
2016 Ford Escape fuel system complaints

The vehicle was travelling down rural highway on a hot day. It shut down almost in the middle of nowhere. The temperature outside was 99 degrees. The fuel level was at a quarter tank. The driver then left the vehicle off on the side off the road for 10 minutes and was able to travel another 20 miles before breaking down again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford escape. After refueling the vehicle, the engine would not immediately restart. Once the engine was restarted, the vehicle would hesitate and sputter. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000. *bf
The car shuts off while driving at any speed. It has done this at highway speed and slower. Cannot pull out into traffic for fear of the engine will shut off without warning.
Engine light has been going on and off for a few months now. First garage told me that it was the o2 sensors, so I replaced them. That night the check engine light came back on again so I bring out back in, this time it's the catalytic converter. I hold off and get a diagnosis from another shop, 3 hits with the 2.0 turbo. I bring it into ford today and they're saying it's both.
2016 escape with no history or problems prior to events here. During a trip from home approximately 50 miles away vehicle operated just fine. After a 5 min stop, I re-entered and started the vehicle. After about 2 miles and while on the highway traveling 70 MPH vehicle suddenly shuttered and acceleration aggravated this situation. Power loss was present, and vehicle stalled out. I coasted to shoulder. Attempted numerous restarts that would seem to catch but soon stall out. Eventually got the vehicle to run enough to limp off the highway. Very low power. Parked for 20 min and restarted with no apparent issue. Engine light was present since first stall. Drove about 1 mile and symptoms returned. Low power and stalled out. Vehicle restarted and I again limped off highway. Eventually got to exit and off into a parking lot. Numerous stalls and never any real power. Waited for a tow from there and vehicle restarted with no issues when driving it onto the tow trailer. Fuel pressures were normal, and codes were p06a7, p0106 and p0236 were present and permanent which was also a new development. Permanent codes have been elusive. A previous recall on 2013-2014 escapes fits this issue exactly. After numerous hours of research, I am convinced this is the same issue involved in the previous ford tsb 13-12-12 and the previous tsb 13-7-5. I was in great danger when this vehicle stalled on the highway without warning. Rush hour traffic on 70 plus MPH road with almost no shoulder. Because of this and the disabling of the airbags when this failure occurs along with the seat belt actuators, I think it's reasonable to assume this is a safety issue. I'm confident this issue can be replicated.
When accelerating on a highway (going 55 - 60 MPH) vehicle abruptly shifts gear and slows down on its own to the point of thinking the vehicle has stopped. This happened twice and then a few days later, the vehicle started hesitating terribly where the car was hopping down the road and would not go over 30 MPH. Then at a light it stalled out completely and I was nearly hit. After restarting, the vehicle would accelerate beyond 30 MPH. Had it towed to the dealership. Dealership was able to reproduce the following day where it happened three times to them. No codes present, but a couple historical codes for sensors. They indicated they were unsure if the sensors were the issue, but replaced. Picked vehicle up and the same thing happened today. Thankfully I was not on a major highway this time, but the call completely stalled at low speed with AC on and made a loud grinding noise. No check engine light this time either. Had to have it towed again to the dealership. They are currently unsure of the issue. I have no confidence this will be resolved. This issue seems similar to other reports and should be investigated as it is a major safety concern. I am happy to provide more information. I will be escalating this until appropriately resolved. Seems there should be a recall, based on the volume of reports.
Code p1450 which is emission problems. Regulates the flow of stored fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Ford should have a recall.
As I was driving on the fwy mi car stopped accelerating I pulled over and my car turned off. I had a quarter tank of gas left once I tried to turn it on it would not let me. I had to call a tow. I now had a check engine sign on. I took it to autozone and they said I needed a new purge canister valve. But that doesnt explain why it did not warn me on the fwy that I needed gas .
Car loses throttle response randomly. Luckily I've had somewhere to get off road everytime on highway. When searching code found out there was a field service action to replace throttle body. We were never notified. They refuse to replace now.
Car started vibrating with reduced power. The error code was p2111: throttle actuator control system - stuck open
Vehicle was in motion going speed limit when it started to shut down. It became more frequent and lasted longer to start and to stay running. When shut down for 10 minutes it would travel about 20 miles before having issues once again. Found out when the fuel has under a half a tank the problem becomes more frequent.

This time the fuel tank was full but it started acting up.

While traveling vehicle began to lose power and begin to shut off. It became more frequent where it would not start. We had to let it sit for 10 minutes to restart back up for another 20 miles of travel.
Vehicle was in motion and it starting shutting off. Came to a point where it had to be shut off for 10 minutes to travel another 20 miles before reoccurring.
While taking off from 0 - 20 MPH vehicles hesitates while accelerating causing vehicle to almost stall in traffic. Have to pump gas pedal repeatedly to try to get car moving. Reported to dealership four times with no repair given for the problem of car stalling while taking off. Has done this since purchased in 2016 and continues until today. Brought in four times to dealership cazenave's motor co.but vehicle continues to stall. Concerned of being hit while stalled in fast moving traffic or while approaching entrances and exits or while making turns. Concerned of bad accident due to vehicle stalling in traffic.
Driving on the highway car just shuts down with engine fault car stopped responding making it a real safety issue. I see this has a closed recall already but I don't think they have included all the cars affected.
Car stalls while driving. Is very difficult to start back up.
After fueling car stalls and dies.
Hesitates on quick execration. Moving at any speed as far as I can tell. Happens were ever I "hit the gas". Bad when I need to get out of the way!
I was waiting for the red light in the road. After the light turned green, I stepped on the gas pedal, however, the car didn't move at all. It stopped there. I had to restart the car to make it move again. It happened on 2017 sep, 11/29/2017 and 11/30/2017. Three times already.
Car suddenly started shuddering at 45 MPH, lost all power, service engine now light on, car was no responding to any actions .
