Engine And Engine Cooling
For the first time the engine completely shut off while driving, i was turning left onto my mother's street, going approximately 20/25 mph. There was no warning, the vehicle just shut off while driving. I was able to turn the car off, put the vehicle in park, and restart the car without a problem. It happened again about 4 weeks later and again, i was going slow as i was in my parking garage at work, approximately…

Immediately after having two items fixed that were recalled on my vehicle, (throttle body etc), the check engine light came on. I thought it was something done while fixing recall items; however, the ford dealership service dept advised me that it was not due to the recall items fixed. Also it would cost $527.00 to fix, as the flap inside the nozzle/flex fuel pipe was not closing properly. I showed my anger and…

While driving down the interstate my escape suddenly lost power and slowed to around 5 mph. I pulled to the shoulder, placed the car in park, shut it off, waited a few minutes, then started it and continued on my way. This has happened two more times since, both while traveling 30 mph in town. I followed the same procedure and was able to continue on my way. I believe this to be an issue with the throttle body, as i…

(and once in a very quick, crowded, dangerous off ramp intersection.) other incidents include multiple times stalling from a complete stop after driving a period of…

I was traveling @ about 40 mph when it sounded & felt like the engine quit. There was a wide shoulder so, i pulled to the side of the road. The engine was still running but running poorly and wouldn't rev up over about 1000 rpm. The check engine light came on along with an orange "wrench" light. I switched the engine off, restarted it, and it ran fine for about 1/2 mile. Then, the same thing happened again, and…

This is the second time this has happened. I came to a stop. The car shuts off completely on its own and was unable to start it up for a period of time in either park or drive. This also happened at approx. 7000 miles. Each time i take it to the shop, they are unable to replicate or find any errors within the system, so they refuse to correct or try further diagnostics to replicate the issue. *tr

The problem started on july 09, 2013. My wife was dropping our kids off at daycare and a summer program when the car just lost all power couldn't accelerate or anything. The vehicle could just coast. We have never had any problems with the vehicle before, so i told her to try and shut down the vehicle to restart it. There were no warning lights and it worked fine. Then after dropping the kids off it happened to more…
