The escape has been towed in 5 times in the last 6 months, the ford house has kept it 2 weeks, 3 times and they can't figure out why randomly just won't start. They replaced starter, but that did not fix it. I took to a master mechanic and he can't figure it out. Vehicle was stationary.

She was able to restart the vehicle and come to my work about 1 mile away. Her car did jerk a little but she made it. She was very scared.

Electronic throttle body is malfunctioning causing vehicle to not shift properly and causing the vehicle. This has happened on the freeway out of the blue and almost caused an accident. When the vehicle is shut off the light goes out and comes back on while driving sometimes same day, sometimes a couple days later. Unless the light is on the code cannot be obtained.

Radiator fan is constantly running at high speed even when engine is cold. When turning on the ac for the first time this year a cloud of something came out of the vents which startled the driver and could have caused an accident if in a congested area. Ac is now blowing warn air only. This same issue is noted numerous times in online forums from other 2008 - 2011 ford escape owners.

Car started back up and ran ok but did the same thing the next day, but this time the wrench light did not come on. Online research…
