The car does not want to start while stationary after putting gas. it takes a while to get it to start and then i have to push on the gas for a couple of minutes while it sputters until the idle finally settles. it shuts off while stationary and idling in park as well.
Sometimes my 2013 ford escape stalls when i'm driving, i let it sit for a while then restart it, it starts but although i'm depressing the accelerator it doesn't respond. at other times when i start it from a stationary position it moves then sputters and shuts off.
There's is a strong smell of raw gas whenever i start the vehicle and aslo when i'm driving the vehicle
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.
Car starts fine. after driving slowly a short distance, and applying brakes, when you pull into traffic or start moving forward the car stalls with check your engine/service your engine lights flashing. the car will restart and drive fine. it happens intermittently. it has happened on city streets pulling into traffic and in parking lots. i am concerned it will cause an accident. base on other complaints, this is a known issue and has not been addressed by ford. it has happened several times over the last few years but recently more frequently.
The vehicle hesitates then stalls even when in drive. this has happened in the city streets when approaching a stop sign and when pulling forward at a green light at an intersection. pressing the gas pedal but does not re-engage and stalls. i have replaced all sparks plugs and cleaned the injectors and fuel lines. this is happening more and more - the dealership is at a loss.
The car will run for about a minute and then want to stall. also when you start it it will drive for about 20 yards and then start idling very weird and stall. it doesn't do this all the time. it's dangerous.
2013 ford escape has been stalling out when at low rpms, for example, pulling out of a parking stall in reverse and then switching to drive, car will stall out. it sputters, then dies out. i switched out the high pressure fuel filter and also the low pressure sensor with oem parts and still happens. it doesn't happen often but i noticed that when i'm doing errands and having to turn on/off the vehicle several times in the day it will eventually start doing this. after switching those parts mentioned above now i have a problem with low mileage. the 'miles to empty' gauge says like 400+ miles when it only actually gave me 190 for the whole tank! that's crazy! i have noticed that fuel gets consumed a lot ! can ford figure this out? i checked my vin but my car is not the ones affected but i know it is. im worried about my safety and the safety of others on the road when driving this vehicle.
The car stalls out from a standing stop randomly and without warning, yet no check engine light ever comes on. it is dangerous because it has stalled just as i'm pulling out into traffic. it has randomly been happening in the past two weeks.
Vehicle repeatedly stalls after starting the vehicle and taking off. the vehicle will start and then i begin driving and it will shutter, lose acceleration ability, and stall out. then i have to put the vehicle in park in the middle of the road or parking lot and restart. sometimes it starts after a little delay just fine, and other times i had happened back to back two to three times. no warning lights remain. i also had coolant leak occur. just got engine hoses, sensors, a new fuel pump in hopes of fixing the coolant leak and the stalling. too soon to tell if the coolant problem is gone, but stalling is still occurring! feels extremely unsafe in a vehicle that randomly stalls out while driving.
The vehicle randomly stalls, with engine completely shutting off, while the vehicle is moving. the stalling occurs while the vehicle is braking, or slowing down while driving on city streets, and i have to completely stop the vehicle, put it in park, and then restart the vehicle. it has occurred several times with other vehicles behind me, causing them to have to hit their brakes and stop as well. i took the car into the ford dealership where it took them a day and a half to diagnose that it was an evaporative purge valve that was sticking open. the repair cost came to $629.97, plus $68.86 for a rental car. the vehicle ran for about 1.5 months with no problems, but is now stalling again with the exact same symptoms as before.
While driving down highway 82, a fire started in the engine compartment, there was no notice of a fire within the cab. no smell and no visible smoke. after being flagged down about it, we managed to get out of the car and save just a few things out of the car, before the front half of the vehicle became engulfed in flames.
When i turn on the vents for the air or heat, a smell of exhaust is coming into the cabin especially when idling. the cabin air filter was changed but did not fix the smell.
Vehicle occasionally stalls out at low idle, either when stationary or attempting to drive up hill in forward after backing out into street. this is not triggering an error code and several mechanics cannot diagnose the issue. after completing some research, it sounds like this is a common issue with 2013 ford escapes.
My 2013 ford escape has been occasionally idling funny when i start it sometimes or when i am at a stop light for some time and begin to go. it will start to putter like it is going to stall and even has stalled a time or two. it seems as if there isn't any fuel getting to the engine but the entire tank is full of gas. the car will putter and be reluctant to accelerate until it starts to go back to normal or stalls out. once i restart the car and give it gas, it sounds and works normal. this has happened about 3 times now in the last month. there is only $125,000 miles on the car. this should not be a wear and tear issue as i always keep my gas tank no less than a quarter tank. no lights are appearing when this happens. the car just doesn't idle correctly and sounds like it is not getting enough gas or is running out of gas.
2013 ford escape sel 08/12 stalling problems. stalled 4 times on a busy state highway. hesitated to restart then would stall out again. this has been going on for months. calling ford dealer tomorrow to see if it's civered under recall due to being bought used from a dealer
The fuel feed hose cracked. my mechanic told me there was a recall for that, but just not my vin. i wanted.to report that i had the same problem. and see if i could get reimbursed. it wad a vad car day. started with the fuel smell, dead battery, to my brakes going out!!@ the cist for repairs are $263.05. thankx.
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.
If i am in park and it sits for a few minutes it will start to stall and then die. it has happened multiple times and just seems to be getting worse. once i start the car back up it just feels like it can't go. so it has happened to me mainly while in stationary and now while in motion.
My 2013 escape randomly stalls. mechanic can't figure out what it is. puts me in a very dangerous situation when i drive it
Have had car fixed multiple times including replacing entire turbo system however car continues to stall when driving. the entire car will shut off and will not accelerate.
Engine stalls when in low or idle when engine is warm. does t every time i come back out to my vehicle after going somewhere.
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.
My 2013 ford escape titantum not giving me the rite reading when i put gas in it,each time my car up with gas it give me a different reading on the dashboard. it would 206 on full and next time i full it give a reading on 214 and my i put half tunk of it would give me a reading of 210 and when i empty it agian and full back the tunk it give me a reading of 234 so i take it back to the ford dealer and they tell me they don't see anything wrong with it even though i show them the picture that i take on my fone
Car will rev. high and then shut off.
My car keeps stalling. it all started after one random drive of car sitting all night, all of a sudden my temperature gauge went skyrocketing and my car started smoking. and needed coolant which was fine just before all of that happen. after that it will just randomly stall, the oil pressure light will come on and then my battery light. my oil like on my dipstick is skyrocketing even after letting your car sit. something needs to be done i drive to college everyday as well as taking my son to school everyday i cannot have a car where the engine catches on fire or i keep stalling out and then i'm 20 30 minutes late to class
Fuel: the car was only 4 years old started with a fuel issue. every time i put gas, then turn on car doesn't want to start. it will eventually start and no other problems occur. but it does take a while for it to start. kind of like when the battery is dying. engine: when going up steep hills the engine over heats. it stabilizes once we drive on flat surface and doesn't happen again until we go up steep hills again. both items have been occurring fr about 3 years. the fuel piece is very expensive to repair because of the way ford built the compact engine.
Vehicle stalls without warning randomly. the vehicle is in motion driving straigh-forward when this occurs. it has happened in parking lots and on city streets. i see this car has been subject to a recall for this and i don't show any currently open recalls so perhaps the fix for the recall was not sufficient. we bought the car used about a few months ago from a ford dealer.
My escape shakes, misses and stalls intermittently. as i am braking in traffic it starts shaking, then stalls. it also stalls when i change gears, i.e. i am in r then go into d. this has been so dangerous! i get stuck in the line of oncoming traffic again and again. traffic backs up behind me when i stall and it gets scary! my sons(both mechanics) believe it is the vacuum/ evaporator system. i took it to the ford garage and after driving it for 10 minutes and pulling it in the garage they told me it would be a $1989 repair i will send you their invoice. there is nothing wrong with the car other than this issue...no check engine light has ever come on. i am the 2nd owner, and have not put 40000miles on it since i bought it. it had 42000 on it when i bought it in 2014. i have read many reports of 2013-2014 escapes having this same issue and owners pleading for an extended vin recall. i join in that plea!!!! i cannot afford a repair at this cost and i can't afford a new car. please ford help with this dangerous default. my sons won't allow my grandchildren to ride in my car with me and i fear for their safety also.🙁
Stalls after starting ... the car will start just fine but a few seconds or minutes later will stall once i am already on the road. also if sitting with out running for a while car will stall and turn off. in traffic this is also an issue, freeway closed one time and had to sit in standing traffic in hwy and car just turned off. several times when pulling out of driveway or the scariest part a shooing strip parking lot onto a busy feeder road the car will stall and turn off.
When driving vehicle, the distance to "e" gas hands continue to count down while at stop light. also, from my house to my job which is approximately 17 miles, according to the gas mileage, it shows that i traveled 30+ miles. my gas hand goes from 3/4 tank to less than half of a tank of gas and it constantly losing fuel while driving or sitting mobil. when sitting at a stop light, the distance to e gas hand continues to countdown. i've watched my distance to "e' hand go from 242 miles to 'e' from my home to 188 miles to 'e' today may 15, 2019this has been happening since february 2019 but has since gotten worse. i've had the vehicle place on a machine to be told that it is not giving any codes. a tank of gas usually last me for about a week but now since this has been happening, a full tank of gas only last me 2 maybe 3 days.
While driving when i stop the car began stalling. i would have to buy the car in park and start it. i would then have to put the car in neutral press on the gas and put the car in drive to be able to move. now when i start the car and put the car in gear (forward or reverse) the car stalls.
While driving down highway 52 yesterday evening my ford escape 2013 caught on fire. i was able to pull to the side after it seized (brakes quit in the process) and had to jump out the passenger side door as the whole engine was on fire and engulfing the driver side.
Car now shuts off frequently after shifting into reverse and back into drive. recently happened while my wife was pulling out of a heavy traffic area.
At every fill up the car stalls.now i have to hold the gaz to a certain level to avoid stalling after every fill up.if i ever let the pump to automatically fill the tank and stop itself i get in a lot of troubles for day.the idéale is bad and the car stalls now in stead of filling my tank to 12 or 13 gallons i have to stop the pump at 10 or 11 gallons to avoid the inconvenience of having car idling hard and even stalling
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. the contact stated that the check engine indicator was illuminated. also, after the contact filled up the fuel tank, it took four attempts for the vehicle to restart. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the entire solenoid evaporation system needed to be replaced. the repairs were being completed with manufacturer approved parts. the manufacturer stated that there was no recall and referred the contact to nhtsa to file a complaint. the dealer had not been contacted. the failure mileage was 77,000.
The vehicle will randomly stall out while driving about 10 miles an hour without warning. it's butters like it's out of fuel the engine shakes violently and then turns off. once the car sits until the engine gets completely cool it will run normal. sometimes it takes a thousand miles sometimes it takes 10. it stalls under different circumstances but will not stall if it's in park idling. as soon as you put it in drive it shifts into second and then stalls. taking it to several places and it's never acted up when they took it for a test drive so no one can figure out what's wrong with it. it is a huge safety concern if i pull out onto a highway and the car stalls i could potentially being a fatal crash. here is the youtube video of the exact same situation, in the comments it's suggest replacing a fuel rail pressure sensor. the sensor has been replaced. still experiences the same issue. https://youtu.be/cnhrg4peoru. i've been experiencing this issue on and off for the past 6 months. it's the only vehicle my wife and i own and we are afraid to take our child anywhere due to this issue.
At low speeds (<20 mph) engine would intermittently stall. occurred 3 times--once on a state park road, once on a neighborhood street, and once on an interstate access road. dealer replaced "fuel low pressure sensor" and reset "keep alive memory and misfire monitor" according to repair invoice.
Car stalled in the middle of the roadway, on a city street, approaching intersection, while in motion. no warning. was unable to restart car. after pushing car out of traffic, car restarted. drove carefully to repair shop, which was unable to repair. drove car to ford dealer where diagnosis was faulty fuel vapor cap. dealer advised that this happened to many of these cars.
Car stalled while driving in a city street approaching intersection. stopped and was unable to restart. after pushing car out of the way, car restarted. drove slowly to car repair shop--unable to repair, advised of nhtsa investigation. took car to dealer, ford repair shop said problem was with fuel vapor cap. contacted ford corporate, but am unable to get reimbursement.
I have been having trouble with stalling or the car shutting off while driving at low speed of most often, if i have been sitting at a red light, or stop sign and i try to accelerate, the car will stall and lose power and i will have to start it all over again. i have usually been on a city street or even after turning into or getting out of my driveway, which is on an incline. i used to think this was related to low fuel, but it recently happened when the tank was full. this is really dangerous as i have stalled in traffic before.
Was actively driving on a city road approaching an intersection and slowing down for a traffic light, in deerfield beach fl when the car stalled. car would not restart. after pushing the car out of the travel lanes, it restarted. took the car to local auto repair shop, where they advised of investigation and did not fix the problem. took car to ford dealer, where they related the problem to a faulty fuel vapor cap, and repaired it. at the dealer, the service rep advised that this is something that happens to a lot of ford cars.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and restarted on its own without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who referred the contact to the local dealer. the vehicle was taken to grieco ford of delray beach (3000 s federal hwy, delray beach, fl 33483, (561) 278-0303) where it was diagnosed that the fuel vapor cap needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the failure mileage was 69,970. *bf consumer sent 2 letters to manufacturer regarding reimbursement.

The engine stalls about a minute after starting. it does not happen on a cold engine, just a warm one. it sometimes acts like it is not getting enough fuel. the vehicle was still on a parking lot for 2 of the instances, going at slow speed or stopped. one time it was on the road. have to put it back in park to get it restarted. drove fine after that. it has happened 3 times in past 8 weeks. ford is clueless since there are no engine codes. they are replacing a fuel pressure sensor and a ecoboost valve because they have a 2014 escape in there shop right now with the same symptoms with engine codes.
2013 ford escape 1.6l engine stalls when engine is warmed up. after approximately one half hour of driving after getting to destination and having been restarted, engine stalls when car is in motion after having been sitting idle for approximately 15 minutes. will stall occasionally up to three times in quick succession. will eventually start and not stall. happens frequently in parking lots but very dangerous when pulling out into traffic, was almost rear ended and broad sided several times.
My car will stop while i am driving it.. the engine light goes on the car shakes and the light flash... this is dangerous.
After driving car 30 minutes then parking for 15-20 minutes upon restarting car & moving into traffic the car stutters then stalls. originally was intermittent problem now is a daily occurrence. taking car to mechanic today to get a diagnostic done. 1/25/2019.
While driving on the highway at 75 mph,suddenly, the car became weak and wouldn't maintain a speed of 65 mph with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. the engine light came on suddenly and i have not driven it since due to lack of acceleration power and the engine light being on.
Car stalls while driving. never happens when engine is cold. drive the car, turn off while in a store. then i restart the car, starts normal, then start driving again and it stalls while you are driving. after it stalls, i pull off the road if possible, then turn the key off, and back on. it starts up normal again and then no more stalling issue - until i stop at another store, and the same problem happens again, and again... only seems to happen after turning off the car for 5-30 minutes, and then try to start driving again there is a serious risk of having an accident!! when the car just dies while driving down a highway, and you have to try to pull off the road - serious risk of having a bad accident. this problem started about 6 weeks ago, and is getting worse. happens every day now!
