My escape likes to stall going like 10 mph. The vehicle starts to hestistate and wont go anywhere. It stalls and like it shutting off with the oil light and the battery light comes on. I restart the vehicle and it does it again like it dont want to move. It stalls like three to four times and it would run like normal. It's very dangerous cause it stalled right in the middle of a intersection. If there was cars…

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…

The transmission locked up in a kroger parking lot going 5 miles an hour. Only 81,000 mile and just had 80,000 manufacturers check up three weeks earlier. Would not go into neutral and sounded like crumpling paper underneath. Towed back to dealership. Dealership putting refurbished transmission into escape. Does not have a timeline on when it will be finished.

My car is exhibiting the exact same symptoms as described in nhtsa campaign number 12v-551, ford recall 12s41 and this vehicle was made in the same time period as other 2013 ford escapes which are affected yet ford is telling me this has nothing to my vehicle. Same time frame, same symptoms but not affected? How does that make any sense to anyone with a shred of common sense? The incident occurred driving home from…

After stopping in my garage and exiting the vehicle from the driver's side door, i attempted to close the door. The door would not latch closed and basically just bounced open again. I attempted to close it again and it did the same thing. I open and closed the handle on the outside and on the inside. After this i could close the door. This problem has persisted for over a month.
