Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. while depressing the accelerator pedal at various speeds, the rpms would rapidly increase and the vehicle would shut off without warning. the manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the failure could be related to the throttle body. the contact was given a cost estimate for the repair and was advised to have the vehicle diagnosed at a local ford dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 126,000.
While in motion, the rpm are reduced, the car slows down, turns off and a "system check, service now" notice appears in dash board. there is a recall for same escape but 2.5, while this one is 1.3. right now it is at ford dealer for another evaluation.
My 2013 ford escape has demonstrated the same problems with the fuel injector (specifically the canister purge valve solenoid) that was part of last fall's focus recall. i had a problem last fall with my car whining, rocking when in stop and go traffic, smelling like burned fuel, and eventually stalling out entirely. last year the car stalled out multiple times initially while stationary, and eventually while in motion. experience was difficult to reproduce as it was sporadic and not consistent. we replaced the canister purge valve last year which resolved the problem, except the replacement part has now failed again a year later while i was sitting in busy rush hour traffic. my car started whining and rocking this morning while i was a stop, turned off the engine, and then i was unable to restart the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes (battery would engage, engine would attempt to turn but wouldn't catch). eventually i was able to start my engine and drive home safely. however i refuse to drive this vehicle again until the part is once again replaced.
Driving down the freeway, started to accelerate in sport mode, heard something pop. sounded like the clutch slipped or a belt broke. lost most acceleration. got off freeway to take side streets home. had a lot of trouble accelerating up hill. would accelerate but very slowly. not on pace with gears. was shifting weird. both in d and s. took me about 4 blocks to get from 0 to 25mph.
Vehicle in motion, highway and city speeds, engine is hesitating and stalling when accelerating. 2013 turbo ford escape
Mid-day, 91 degrees. car shuddered reversing out of the driveway. no previous problems. i waited and car idled well. i left the neighborhood and turned left into traffic on a five-lane road. i lost acceleration merging from the center turning lane. the vehicle revved, getting fuel, but there was no forward movement, no shuddering, nothing. i moved the vehicle into "sport" mode, in case i had bumped the selector, but it made no difference. traffic honked and swerved around me. i was able to get into the right lane with my hazard lights on. my car shuddered off, completely and i lost power steering just as i completed the maneuver. i restarted my vehicle and the vehicle shuddered to a side-street, where i idled for five minutes and called for assistance. assistance was going to take a long time and i suffer from a medical condition that makes me fragile in the heat. i tested the vehicle on the side streets and it performed. i was able to get the vehicle home slowly.
I was driving my family from houston, tx to san antonio,tx on july 5th 2019 for the holiday weekend in my 2013 ford escape sel with the 6f35 transmission. we were about 1 hour & 30 minutes into our trip, 108 miles, from our home near the city of flatonia, tx when our transmission horrifically failed. while i was driving i noticed the transmission had a made a hard shift into 6th gear. it had jumped a couple of times until i accelerated and then it finally shifted into 6th gear. the next sign of trouble was when the dash screen told us the lane change sensor was failing. next we started noticing a faint burning smell coming into the cabin, we weren't sure what it was. a minute later all the warning lights turned on in the dash screen. i immediately put on my turn signal so i could get to an exit and when trying to accelerate out of the way of traffic, i realized my ford escape was not responding to the acceleration pedal. it would not accelerate at all. so now i couldn't shift and my gas pedal was not functioning. ...
My escape all of a sudden completely stopped accelerating in the middle of driving took it to a ford dealer they said there were no codes the 2013 ford escape 2.0 was recalled for the same reason!!! you need to recall the 1.6 ford escape ecoboost my car litterly did what the recall said was happening
I have a transmission fault service soon error ! the car seems to think its in park while driven. it staules seems that it is slipping out of gears by its self
Intermittent stalling of my 1.6 liter ecoboost engine. it happens every 3 to 4 days and only happens after you start the engine and drive about 100 feet. the engine will lose power and die. you start it back up and it will display loss of power and die again. normally the 3rd time the engine starts and runs properly. it will then not have any issues for 3-4 days. it is dangerous because it will normally have this problem after gong to the store and when leaving you pull out of parking lot and it will stall merging into traffic. it has never done this while traveling at speed limit.
Car ecelerates on its on, transmisin jerks when u put it in gear after disengaging the hand break, rolling while in park with engine off, transmission jerks when charging from 1st to 2nd gear especially when pulling a hill. brakes not holding properly; i almost rolled back into a car today. check engine light randomly comes on & stays on. omw tl the shop to have a diagnostic done it goes back off.
Driving to work one morning in a 40 mph zone, about 1.5 miles, warning lights appeared and stated that the vehicle was overheating and to pull over safely. the temperature gauge had shot up to h for hot. the vehicle immediately slowed down, regardless of pressing the gas. i was able to pull off of a us highway and find a safe place to park just a short distance. the vehicle needed to be towed to the dealer.
When driving this vehicle, it ser me like it is not running right, and think it is going to die on us in traffic. the front seat belt does not go back in the area where it belongs and sits on the front seat. the passenger driver side door does not close right when you open it. it will stay open until you push the handle down and then it will close and lock. we are afraid to travel long distance with the vehicle because of the way the car acts and run. we just want it fix or replace vehicle.
