In April of 2021, my 2014 Ford Escape began to die on take off and my service engine light came on. They removed and replaced the coolant reservoir. I took my car back to the dealer because it continued to run hot. I was told that they found nothing wrong. In October of 2022, the surge valve was replaced. In November of 2022, it was recalled for the shifter cable bushing and a protective cap. That was replaced as well as a valve cover gasket. On August 9, 2024, it was diagnosed has needing a fuel pump because it would die upon take off. My car continued to die upon takeoff. I was told then that it was the fuel injectors and to run premium gas through it and to try using a different key fob because the computer was showing a problem with the ignition. On October 28, 2024, I brought my car to the dealer because it would still die upon take off. It also sounded like it was idling rough. My cd player would accept and eject the cd, but would not play. I asked that the whole car be looked over to see if there was anything else that needed attention. The following was the diagnosis," coolant bypass valve connector burnt and valve also burnt in connection; found the coolant bypass valve is distorted. " they replaced the coolant bypass and coolant bypass valve connector pig tail. The following was also diagnosed, "found the front audio control module has an internal fault; the bottom engine cover damage; found passenger side rear wheel well hanging; removed and replaced spark plugs and coils boots. " I declined service for the cd player, the bottom engine cover and the rear wheel guard due to the cost to repair. The following was also on the invoice, "accessed diagnostic port and performed scan to find trouble code p26b7 which is related to coolant bypass. " my car still dies upon take off. I have faithfully taken care of this car, having oil changes and multi-point inspections done every 3000 to 5000 miles. I cannot afford a new car at this time.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2018

I got into the truck and crank it up as I was leaving work one afternoon and when I turned the radio on the display screen for the rear back up camera and radio went out. . Its was flashing white and black and then black with a white line thru it after it kelly flashing turning red green orange with lime just running thru the screen. Then about 10 minutes tops it was gone out. . It only takes me 12 minutes to get home from work and it didn't last that long so took it back to my dealership and they don't know what wrong with it. But I have no radio and no camera. I continued to drive around not knowing what was wrong with the truck and one night it make a spark as I was sitting with it running at a fast food drive thru. The smoke was coming from the front vents so it parked it and called the tow truck. Quick towed it back to the dealer who still couldn't figure out a problem they just disconnected the wiring completely so I'm worse off as far as it goes to figure out the problem . I don't see any fixes for these issues but I've seen lots of the same complaints please help.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2017

I've been having issues with my car stalling out. It began on 11/10/17 when I started the car. I drove about 500 feet pulling up to a stop sign and the car stalled out but all electrical stayed on (I. E. Radio). I turned the car back on and it drove fine for a while. The same thing happened again later on the same day. The following day it happened in the same way as I was pulling out of a parking lot. I turned it back on and it drove well for a while. Later that evening it happened again also pulling out of a parking lot. I did not drive the car again till the following morning. The car drove well for 2 days. Until today 11/15/17. It turned on in the morning. I got to my destination. Parked the car. Came back about a half hour later and I was pulling out of the parking lot only driving about 500 feet when the car stalled out again. I turned the car back on it drove to my next destination about 40 minutes away. It did not feel as if it was running as smoothly as usual. I'm afraid to drive my car as I live in a city and take highways everywhere. I would hate for my car to stall out in the middle of the highway and cause myself and others to get immensely hurt.
