Summary
Some 2013-2016 escape vehicles equipped with 2.5l engine may exhibit a rough idle, low RPM at idle or a stall on hot restart with no dtcs in self test. This may be due to the A/C compressor clutch being seized. If a vehicle comes in for this concern, check the A/C compressor to see if it is engaged during start up/initial run. The PCM strategy keeps the A/C compressor clutch off for 5 seconds on initial start. If so, replace the compressor assembly (cv6z-19703-l). If not, perform normal diagnostics in the pc/ed.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 2,834 complaints in the engine category.
