When i called ford motor company on december 23, 2019 to report what was happening, i was told i would have to pay $125 for a diagnostic to be ran on the vehicle and…

While car is in motion our 2014 ford escape stalls. We turn the key off, turn it back in and it will sometimes run for a bit before stalling again and sometimes stall immediately. Currently this has happened on city streets and parking lots. Once while turning. Others going straight. Luckily we have not had this happen on the interstate yet.

This vehicle should have been included in a 2017 safety recall related to overheating and coolant leaks, but it was not. In february 2019, it overheated with little warning on the freeway, blowing a hole in the motor (at 62k miles). Ford rejected request for assistance, so repair was done by independent mechanic (motor replaced). Three months later, during freeway drive, message appeared several times stating power…

Acceleration is lost, and cannot start moving again until the car is put in park, turned off, and turned back on. This is while the car is in motion. This has happened at 30 mph and slower, as well as 55 mph. The car will give an engine fault or engine failure and begin jerking. This happens on the highway…

I recently went in for my first emissions test on my vehicle to find out that the fuel vapor management valve leaked. I had noticed, prior to learning this, that after fueling i would often smell of gas from inside the vehicle and have become concerned that the failure of this system may have exposed me to harmful vapors while operating my vehicle, especially considering the other safety issues i have experienced…

Does not get advertised fuel efficiency. Fuel efficiency is much lower at around 22 mpg combined. Very disappointed.

The engine stalls momentarily when i try to start up after turning a corner, or when i slow down and try to accelerate again. I have tried buying higher grade gas and used extra cleaning fluids recommended. Neither helped. It is frightening to press the accelerator and nothing happens immediately. This happens in city driving.

Vehicle looses propulsion suddenly with little to no warning. The high pressure fuel pump has been found to be the culprit. Fuel rail pressure will maintain 680-2200 psi for long durations and trips before randomly dropping to 50-80 psi and stalling. This happens at low speeds such as waiting to turn left at an intersection, sitting at a stop light, or navigating a parking lot.

Stalling while driving. Prior to the stalling, gas cover began to loudly vibrate. Upon stopping to examine location of vibration noise, i opened the gas cover and lightly opened pour spout.. Excessive air pumped out. This has occurred 2 sequential days now. I see a tentative recall in 2015 for a specific date of manufacture range but nothing else regarding the fuel pump.

Three separate stalling without warning events while car is in motion (!) in the past week, similar to many others described on this website. Ase mechanics cannot identify any reason for it; made me aware of related recalls but could not confirm cause. Why is my vehicle not covered by the multiple fuel system recalls for other 2014 escapes? Those recall numbers are: 14s30, 15s13, 14s20, 14s17. Car is only four years…

Truck stalls while driving, and won't start back up. Ive had it towed twice already for the same problem also had it towed to a mechanic shop where they couldn't find anything wrong with it besides saying it seemed to be a gltch inside the computer. Check engine light illuminates reading code p0109. When it stalls it gives no warning and no indications that there's a problem which can lead to a dangerous situation.
