My Ford Escape 2013 stalls while driving at low speeds, like a parking lot, at a stop sign. It has done it now 4 times in 2016. The engine just loses power and stalls. The red oil lamp and battery lamp come on. No system check messages show. It will start sometimes and stall again immediately, sometimes it starts and then is ok for the remainder of the trip. The Ford dealer couldn't find the problem when they checked it right after an incident. Offered to drive it till they find the problem and give me loaner till then. ???.
