On multiple occasions, the car randomly completely turns off while stopped at red lights or in traffic, with a message on that dashboard to "shift the vehicle into park and restart the engine". at this point, it is necessary to shift the car into park and restart the engine before being able to proceed.
The car randomly completely turns off while stopped at red lights or in traffic (when auto start-stop is activated), with a message on that dashboard to "shift the vehicle into park and restart the engine". at this point, it is necessary to shift the car into park and restart the engine before being able to proceed.
Vehicle has auto shutdown at traffic lights, stop signs. sometimes stalls then and needs restarted. only advisory when it happens is on dashboard display. has happened over a dozen times to me within 40.000 miles. last time below
Seal in between the intercooler for the turbo so that coolent mixes with the engine oil which causes the engine to fail prematurely and ford will not cover the repair. the car must be recalled because of the defect. www.badproductslaw.com is making a class action and people should contact them.
The auto start/stop doesn't work all of the time on my 2017 ford escape se. on multiple occasions my engine turns off when i'm at traffic signals, stop signs, roundabouts, turning right, and in stop and go traffic. a message is displayed to shift the vehicle into park and restart the engine. this is an extremely dangerous situation! i have almost been in several accidents due to this malfunction. i'm now anxious every single time i'm driving. i feel unsafe on a daily basis and it's frustrating that ford is not doing anything about it. please issue a recall before i'm actually in an accident.
On two occasions in the past month, the auto start/stop function has engaged while stopped at a traffic light and i've gotten the message: auto startstop shift to p restart engine.
Multiple times the escape as been stopped at a light and the auto restart does not work. a message is displayed to shift the vehicle to park and start the vehicle manually. very dangerous at an intersection when cars behind are moving.
In the 3 years that we had the vehicle, the engine has had to be replaced twice due to coolant leaking into the combustion chamber because of a poorly designed head gasket. the most recent repair had an updated gasket, but only 3 months after it was replaced the transmission had a parts failure that caused a warning light. shortly after the warning light, the car stopped in the middle of a major intersection and required a tow to the dealership for further repair. my husband was in the vehicle with my son at the time and thankfully was able to shift the car in neutral and get to a side street before an accident occurred.
Over a two week period, when i would start the vehicle in the morning, sometimes it ran rough. revving the gas pedal a couple of times resolved this. on december 11 while driving to richmond, virginia, the service engine soon light came on. i am close to time for an oil change and when i returned home december 12, i scheduled a service appointment for this morning, december 13. i was told that the rough idling, engine light, low coolant, and diagnostic codes all point toward the need to replace the long block engine, which is $11,000. my car is paid off, only recently, and it has 74,000 miles. it has only ever been serviced at ford dealerships. it is my understanding that this is a known problem. i have called ford and it has been escalated. if this is a known problem, why is it not a recall? this certainly could pose a safety issue.
Auto stop start feature. when stopped engine shuts off but doesn't restart after releasing the brake. message appears "put car in park to restart." first time it happened leaving a parking lot. 2nd time it happened in traffic on highway at a signal.
Owner of 2017 ford escape and ongoing issues with high temperature engine indicator - low coolant level. bought car new feb 2018 and within one year and 8030 miles the car required service for this issue in april 2019. repairs made to water pump and coolant bypass hose assembly. now again in dec 2019 with 14,444 miles, i have the same issue with coolant level below the minimum mark and high temp engine on dash gauge. added coolant myself and schedule service for dec 16 2019. the reservoir cap was fitted tightly and there was no indication of a leak when checking the floor of garage or anywhere under the hood. obviously, there is a problem since the coolant is leaking out and causing high temp of engine which is not normal vehicle operating conditions for a vehicle with 14,444 miles to have this same issue recurring. recap: 02/23/2019 miles 7009 serviced for vehicle checkup, oil change, tire rotation and multi-point inspection. 04/13/2019 miles 8030 serviced for high temp. engine indicator and coolant level below minimum mark 12/16/2019 miles 14,444 high temp. engine indicator and observed coolant ...
While sitting at lights the engine will completely shut off. an alert comes on stating to put in park and restart engine. this has happened multiple times in the past couple of weeks.
Had 2017 ford escape for just over a year. 30,000 miles on it when cel came on then went back off only to come back on again blinking. dealership says antifreeze is leaking into oil causing engine failure. engine has to be replaced.
While driving the cel came on. we took the car to the dealership they replaced the crankcase pressure sensor which was covered under the powertrain warranty. they then informed us that the active grill shutter was broken and needed to be replaced. this is an internal plastic shutter in front of the radiator. the service advisor said that ford was aware of these shutters easily being damaged and has corrected the issue going forward but this is not covered under warranty. i contacted ford corporate customer relations and was informed that since no recall had been issued it was up to the dealership to determine if the item was warrantied. they brushed me off and wished me luck. dealership quoted $1090 for replacement that is my responsibility.
My car is equipped with auto/start stop system. it has been malfunctioning during auto stop at red lights & in traffic while driving. when it shuts down at a traffic red light or in stopped traffic, a message displays to driver when stopped to shift to park and restart engine. this requires taking your foot off the brake and then stepping back on the brake to start the car running again to be able to go. other drivers will honk at you to go when you cannot continue to drive until you get the vehicle back running after doing what the message states.
