While i was driving my car 40mi/hr on december 23rd, the low engine coolant fluid message came on, and about 10 seconds later, there was a message saying the engine was overheating and to pull over safely immediately. the car starting stalling and i pulled on the side of the road. after putting more engine coolant, it worked just fine. then two weeks the low engine coolant message came back on and i took it to midas in westland, mi where they said they couldn't detect a leak. about two weeks after that the same situation with the low engine coolant signal, overheating engine, and stalling car happened, followed by more engine coolant added to car. since then it has driven just fine but i'm afraid it will stall or start an engine fire.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle reported a false alert stating that the coolant level was low. the contact stated that the coolant level was at the recommended level. a secondary alert was relayed with instructions to pull over as the vehicle stalled. woody anderson ford 2500 jordan ln nw, huntsville, al 35810, was contacted but was unable to schedule an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective coolant level sensor. the independent mechanic linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 17v209000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the vin was not included. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 147,000.
The engine will shudder at random times and occasionally stall at highway speeds. issue also will appear randomly after filling the tank. sometimes venting the tank at the inlet will resolve the issue. according to firestone, this is a known issue for this vehicle...and as a driver, it is awfully unsafe. ford has diagnosed it as having to do with a fuel pressure valve. this has happened repeatedly over the years we have owned this vehicle. get this fixed!
Vehicle stalls unexpectedly and without warning. i can be driving and pull out of an intersection and the vehicle stalls without any warning leaving me vulnerable to an accident due the vehicle not being able to move. in addition to this the vehicle also has a coolant leak
I purchased this vehicle from drivetime in january 2018. they did not tell me of any recalls. i see online that there have been 15 recalls and the engine and engine cooling has been recalled 2 times. i have had issues for over a year with the cooling. i have to always put coolant in. we have even been stranded with an overheated vehicle. i had an estimate done to fix the issue and they told me the part is $1,400, it is the coolant bypass. not sure what that is, however when searching online, the parts are less than $100. i need to know if this is still the same recall and can get fixed by the dealer for free? please let me know before the engine blows. my check engine light remains on, i am unable to use remote start in the freezing cold now due to this. i would really like to get this fixed as i love this car and do not give it up. the date i am using below is the last date the engine overheated. please get this taken care of for me!
As of 1/16/2020, i have had my 2013 ford escape for 6 months. a week after i got my car, it overheated. i was forced to pull over as the engine stalled and seized up. i had the car towed to the dealer and had the thermostat fixed. after two or three months, the car started overheating again. i decided not to take the car back to the dealer after many phone calls and a very unpleasant experience. i took it to two mechanic shops and they could not find what was wrong. it continued to overheat, even with coolant filled in the reservoir. i did some research and from what i have seen, overheating is a common problem with this year and model. i have called ford and they told me that there are no recalls for overheating associated with my vin number. i took it to a mechanic shop for a third time, after my car stalled on a cold winter's day with my child in the backseat. they notified me that the coolant bypass valve was not functioning properly. they also notified me that it was part of recall 13s12 (nhtsa-13v583). i made an appointment with a ...
Vehicle leaking continued leaking coolant after water pump changed. dealership removed ignition coils & spark plugs looked with borescope, cylinder #3 had coolant recommended engine replacement. tore down engine found porous casting on block allowing coolant into engine. this coincides with fords recall #12v431000 engine and engine cooling and recall#13v58300 engine for other manufactured 2013 ford escape models but ford is not extending recall to this escape stating it was mfg at a different plant and during a different time than the other escapes that were recalled. as stated by ford "overheating of the engine cylinder head may cause cracks that could allow oil to leak potentially resulting in engine compartment fire. ford needs to include these other escapes in their recall.
This is the tenth time that the coolant system lights come on and the the car stalls out and will only go approximately 5 miles per hour. this happened this time with a car behind me that almost crashed into me he had ti hit his breaks and go across a double line into oncoming traffic lanes to keep from hitting me, blessedly there was no oncoming traffic. i was driving the vehicle. now it won"t stay charged even with a new battery. as soon as i turn the motor off the car is dead until i charge it again. it runs from point a to b but if you turn it off it is completely dead and the key wont work or anything
We bought 2013 ford escape in july, 2016, with approximately 62,000 miles. at 64,000 miles, after constant overheating issues, ford agreed to replace the engine. there were overheating issues on the new engine at time of install (stated in dealer notes), but they "fixed" them. the car now has 103,000 miles. has been serviced regularly, with occasional overheating issues noted. transmission failed last month. waited over 2 weeks for diagnosis. transmission needs to be replaced and another new engine is needed because of coolant leak. our extended warranty expired at 100,000 miles. contacted ford customer service and they refuse to do anything to help. it seems that they put another defective engine in at 64,000 miles because you should get more that 40,000 miles on a new engine. the cost to repair this piece of junk is prohibitive and i feel very unhappy with ford's response.
2013 ford escape experiences apparent transmission failures at highway speeds. often during passing acceleration. repeated instances. from 50k miles to 70k miles. one instance involving all wheels locking up at 80mph (felt like a shift into park) and the others involving drivetrain power loss and jerking. after car restart, codes "apparently" disappear and dealers are unable to identify any issues without codes.
My car all of a sudden has a loss of engine coolant and overheats to extremely high temperatures. then this causes the car to stall as i'm driving it. this was part of a recall of other ford escapes but somehow my car was not added to this list.
While driving the car stalled out or died. the interior lights and radio were not affected. the car was still on but the rpms were at 0 and i could not accelerate properly. i had to shut the car off and restart it.
