I was at a traffic light and turning left to make the turn and go up the hill. The car lost power and i actually thought it had stalled. The car has done this for me numerous times and i am afraid it will cause an accident where someone will hit me in the rear when my car does not accelerate

I was accelerating to merge onto i-495 in northern virginia, attaining a speed of approximately 55 mph. When i removed my foot from the gas pedal (because i had reached my desired speed), the car continued to accelerate uncontrollably. I applied full pressure to the break with both feet, but the car continued to surge forward. I attained a speed of almost 100 mph, even with both feet fully decompressing the break.…

My car will be idling and suddenly power down. Recently while i have been slowing down at a traffic light, stop light, or braking for traffic it will power down. After researching online i have found that hundreds of other ford escape owners have had the same issue, some have had it happen while driving at high rates of speed. I have taken it to 4 different mechanics, 2 of which are ford dealerships and they work on…

As i was driving my car lost it throttle. The engine continued to run but i had no ability to accelerate. I pulled the car over. Turned it off, then back on and the car appeared to show no issues. About two weeks later the issue appeared again. Same solution. From my research this appears to be a common issue and could very much endanger anyone in the vehicle

Part broke apart in a/c system and a/c unit stopped working. This is not a wearable part and ford refuses to fix. The car is just outside of warranty. The vehicle was purchased in winter and the a/c was never tested to see if it was working.

I was driving at 11 pm on a country road, when my vehicle just stopped, i coasted around a corner and put on my flashers. I was in the middle of no where and it was very dark. This is the third time this has happened to this vehicle. I contacted ford road side emergency service and they informed my vehicle was no longer under warranty for towing and i would have to pay for the wrecker. I had just got the vehicle out…

First issue is that the back back door wont open & there is no keyhole to unlock it either. Second issue is that when it rains heavy water is coming through from the outside into all my doors & it stays there because there is no plug to let the water out. The cheapest option was to drill holes in the bottom of each door to let the water out.

While driving down a road going approx. 50mph, i suddenly, and without warning, lost power to the vehicle. Pulled over to the side of the road and while applying the brakes, it would tend to lunge forward. Once stopped, i placed in park, shut off engine the attempted to start up again. It did start up, however, it happened 2 more times later that day. I would hate for this to happen while trying to make a left hand…

I bought this car in 2012 and have since noticed the vehicle losing the ability to accelerate. No matter how far i push down on the gas it will not accelerate. After a minute or two of stalling, it will sputter and shut off. I took it to the auto shop to make sure that it was not misfiring a piston, or that their was anything immediately wrong, but they could not give me an answer to why it would not accelerate. My…
