My vehicle stalls/ loss of power while driving on the highway and residential roads, , stalls / loss of power while at low rpm or coming to a standstill , I have almost been hit by other cars several times because of this problem, I took my vehicle to napa Ford and they said they could not repeat the issue, napa Ford told me it was probably an issue with my battery so we replaced the battery with a new one, this has not fixed the problem with stalling/ loss of power!.
For the past year my 2013 Ford Escape will lose power while driving and stall. I never know when it will happen. It has done this while driving at 5 mph and 70 mph, driving in all weather conditions, the fuel is full, 3/4, 1/2 or almost empty. My car loses all power to the gas pedal and stalls. Most times it will not start right away and sometimes when I shut the car off and wait 30 seconds it will start. Very scary to drive especially with 2 children in the car. Again I never know when it will happen but it happens at least 2 times a day.
The engine will shudder at random times and occasionally stall at highway speeds. Issue also will appear randomly after filling the tank. Sometimes venting the tank at the inlet will resolve the issue. According to firestone, this is a known issue for this vehicle. . . And as a driver, it is awfully unsafe. Ford has diagnosed it as having to do with a fuel pressure valve. This has happened repeatedly over the years we have owned this vehicle. Get this fixed!.
This is the tenth time that the coolant system lights come on and the the car stalls out and will only go approximately 5 miles per hour. This happened this time with a car behind me that almost crashed into me he had ti hit his breaks and go across a double line into oncoming traffic lanes to keep from hitting me, blessedly there was no oncoming traffic. I was driving the vehicle. Now it won"t stay charged even with a new battery. As soon as I turn the motor off the car is dead until I charge it again. It runs from point a to b but if you turn it off it is completely dead and the key wont work or anything.

The vehicle hesitates then stalls even when in drive. This has happened in the city streets when approaching a stop sign and when pulling forward at a green light at an intersection.
