Fuel/Propulsion System
Vehicle has been making loud noises from the fuel tank when driving at slower speeds (20 and under) and when coming to a stop. The rpm goes very low, almost stalling out. Purge valve and canister need to be replaced and are not covered under warranty. The ford fusion has had a recall on this same exact issue, and my vehicle falls within the years recalled. This seems to be a common problem when speaking with others…

8000 miles. The auto start stop system will not restart after stopping. It has not restarted after stopping in intersection to make left turn. Also after stopping at stop signs and stop lights. And when stopped on a hill at a stop sign, the vehicle will not restart, and rolls out into the street with no power brakes or power steering. A truly unsafe car. Dealer finds no codes and cannot duplicate, so will not…

I have the start/stop on my 17 escape. With 16000 miles. When coming to a stop and the auto start/stop comes on, i will get a notification on the digital screen saying "auto start/stop shift to p restart engine." i will have to put the vehicle in park and restart engine to be able to drive again. This is a hazard for potential rear end collision.

While driving 40 mph in the city, i felt a jolt, engine was still running, but had zero gas pedal response. Rpm slowly bled off as i was able to coast into a parking lot while dodging through traffic. When the jolt was felt, a "check manual" message appeared on the driver's information screen. No other messages or check engine light came on. I shut down the vehicle and re-started it and i was able to drive normal…

The mpg of this car has been infuriatingly bad since i bought it two years ago. I kept thinking it was just a normal difference between the specs and real life driving, but i am not getting anywhere close to the 25 mpg combined that is advertised on the sticker. I am at 17.4 combined, and its never been any better than that.

Fords 1.5l engine has a fuel in oil. Even after oil change after car driven just 30 miles highway miles oil had almost a quart of fuel in it. Turbo is burning coolant. Every two weeks have to add coolant to reservoir because turbo is burning it. Transmission whines very loud on take offs and up shifts and downshift for no reason when running at same highway speeds. Cars has very poor power, but eats fuel like a v-8.…

Autostop feature endangers lives. I experienced an almost fatal safety incident with the autostop engaged. I was stopped, exiting a paved driveway onto a [redacted].
