When truck has a full or even half tank , always smell a loud gas smell coming from truck. Gas smell so loud can not have truck parked in garage due to fumes. Also with brakes, when forced to stop immediately the brakes make a weird sound and wont lock properly.

When closing the rear door on the vehicle, the back window just exploded. Small particles of glass flew in all directions. The weather was sunny and dry and there is no reason for this window to have exploded. I was not injured, but picked glass particles out of my clothing. The vehicle was parked in a department store parking lot and not yet occupied when this happened.

The link between the gas petal and engine sometimes stops working! Upon pulling onto a four lane highway, there was no gas feed and so i drifted onto the shoulder, turned the ignition off, started it back up and it was ok again. Until the next time it happened again! This i s very dangerous and i should not have to pay for this fix! The car has only 31,000 miles on it.

I noticed some extreme fogging and a strange smell in my car. The car had just turned over 75,000, and was out of warranty. I took it to my mechanic who said the heater coil had gone out. So, he diconnected the heater coil. After that, the engine fans were running loudly. About 2-3 months later, the fan assemby broke-a piece of the assemby came off. All this occured while driving.

Car keeps stalling. While accelerating as well as at freeway speed (on streets and on the freeway). The obd-ii reader says its code p2111 which is for the throttle body. Got it leaned immediately after stall. Immediately after picking it up from the shop, it stalled again, showing the same code on the reader. Upon further research these seem to be defective on many ford escapes of this year.

First date of occurrence: 7/22/15 i was driving about 40 mph and it seemed as though even though i had fuel in my gas tank, that the car was running out of gas. I put it in park, turned it off and turned it back on again and it ran fine. (vehicle began kind of sputtering and when i pressed on the gas petal, it was like it didn't work at all.) was driving a distance of approximately 25 miles when this happened.…
