Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2009 Ford Escape

During operation vehicle lost ability to accelerate, all other functions still existed. yellow service ranch appeared on dash had to pull over and put car in park, i don't was very rough turn engine off. after starting car back up all lights were gone, able to drive again. this has now occurred more than 20 times. we have replaced both oxygen sensors,the purge canister and the catalytic converter. still having the same issue. when this happens on large highways or a multilane interstate it becomes a very dangerous situation.

Intermittent rough idle/stalling at traffic lights as well as hesitation when accelerating at all speeds. throttle body replaced under extended warranty when issue first presented last year; symptoms persist without check engine light; independent mechanic unable to diagnose/reproduce issue. issue has been occurring for the last twelve months without resolution.

Electronic throttle body issue. car stalls intermittently when accelerating at intersection. very dangerous. check engine light comes on code p2112. issue happens without warning and car starts again after stall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 ford escape. the contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor in the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the fuel valve remained opened and evaporated. the dealer (commercial motor company, 160 s commercial st, aransas pass, tx 78336) informed the contact that the fuel odor would not affect the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 125,897.

Lee auto sales lied to me. they said nothing is wrong with the vehicle. after purchasing the vehicle i found a bunch of defects.

The vehicle stalls when idling, even if only for seconds and surges forward randomly while traveling on the roadway. it has stalled on me up to 8-10 times in one trip from scottsdale to phoenix. it will stall rolling to a stop as well and has stalled on busy roadways and in intersections, putting me in great danger. this has been reported t hundreds of other drivers with the same vehicle and so far no mechanic or even the ford dealership can pin point the cause. other people have been reporting this same issue with their cars with only 30,000 miles and others have reprted that the car stalls at highway speeds and i am now afraid it will escalate.

The 2010 to 2012 has a recall involving the fuel system leaking. my vehicle is also leaking fuel every time the tank is filled (no, we do not "top off"), and the fumes are noticeable in and out of the vehicle. this has been happening since approximately 90,000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 ford escape. the contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor from the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the fuel valve remained opened and evaporated. in addition, the contact observed a leak from the rear driver side from the upper fuel tank where there was a fracture. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

Was accelerating after coasting to slow down for a turn on city streets. engine stalled out and service, oil, and battery lights all illuminated on the panel. vehicle lost all power and had to coast to a stop. put it in park, turned off and restarted with no issue. this is the 5th time this has happened in the last 18 months, all in simliar scenarios where accelerating after coasting.

Electronic throttle body: driving down the highway the vehicle lost power, i was able to avoid traffic and make it safely to the side of the road. after a few minutes i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on. a few days later this happened again, fortunately on a less crowded street.

Purchased used 2009 escape in april 2016. check engine light on and gas leaks over tire well when the tank is filled all the way. took it in and upon smoke test dealership stated the top of the tank is rusted with pinholes. trying to charge me $1600 to repair with the filler piece. not disclaimed upon purchase. car was inspected prior to purchase.

This happens in all conditions. engine will lose power and start stuttering like it is missing. exhaust will stink and darken enough so that it is visible. accelerator will not work as normal. vehicle will eventually stall as service light comes on. fuel pump replaced twice in 2 days. mechanics find no codes stored. throttle body replaced under ford customer service program. it reoccurred the next day. this needs to be recalled and fixed. the vehicle will slow and stall suddenly and is a safety issue.

Gas tank. lots of corrosion where filler neck connects to the gas tank. when gas tank is full gas leaks from the corrosion point. vehicle was parked in my garage when i noticed a strong gas odor. i moved the vehicle to the driveway and noticed a wet spot on the garage floor that reeked of gas. the spot corresponds to the area below the gas tank filler. i'm concerned the leaking gas is an environmental hazard and also concerned the leaking gas may ignite causing a fire and possible explosion. help!!!

Vehicle no power and surging.

Please see this clip on youtube that explains our issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucusqj3-evk my vehicle, without warning will lose power and the wrench light appears. same thing, mechanic has no clue. why can't ford figure this out. it's dangerous. my wife has stalled several times in traffic. what can be done? thank you! *tr
