Acceleration was fine until i hit 20,000 miles. However when i step on the gas pedal after starting the car the rpms go away and then come way back down and then it accelerates and jerks forward. This is an extreme safety issue. I took it to the town & country ford dealer here who said they couldn't replicate the issue. I test drove with the mechanic and it didn't happen once. It accelerated better than it did…

I experienced on three occasions that this vehicle misfires, stumbles, shudders and almost shuts off under heavy acceleration while attempting to merge onto a highway.the last time this problem occurred i was forced to pull onto the breakdown lane and almost caused an accident due to highway traffic traveling at 70 mph and my inability to attain a suitable merging speed. I have further observed that this situation…

I have issued a complaint about three and a half months ago. Again, my mother is still having acceleration problems with her car. On april 22nd, she stated that she was going up a hill, and the car suddenly started revving to 4000-5000rpm. At one point, she said she lightly went on the gas to see if the fuel would kick in and it revved up 500 rpm past the redline, and still no acceleration. One day, my mom is going…

My mother owns a 2014 ford escape se with the 1.6l ecoboost engine. She has noticed that many times, she lightly steps on the gas, and the car suddenly revs it's engine in the 3000-4000 rpm range when the transmission is in drive. Basically, it didn't want to go. She took it to the dealership to see if they could find out the problem, and they said nothing was wrong. I sure would hate to see my mother seriously hurt…

I was driving along with cruise control on at 73 mph, when i could no longer accelerate, my escape just died with no warning lights, stall out or anything. Just as if someone turned it off. I had to coast to the side of the road. I waited a few minutes and tried to start it again with no luck. When i turned the key over, it seemed like it wanted to start but was not getting the gas to. I tried 3 more time and…

Approximately one month after purchasing this vehicle strong gas fumes were detected coming inside the car through the ventilation system. The problem occurs only when the vehicle is restarted after being warmed up. Still under warranty we returned the vehicle to the dealership for repairs. They replaced a short section of flexible manifold hose that had developed a crack. The problem went away for about a month…

Pulling out of my driveway, engine dies with no warning. Put into neutral to restart. Pulling out of driveway onto the hardtop road, engine dies with no warning. Traveling at 20 mph or less. This has been going on for 2 months now. Doesn't happen when the car goes to the dealership...can't seem to figure out what is causing it. *tr
