Coolent intrusion into the cylinder which cuse the car stall and stop during driving in trafic on the hiway. Ford company is aware of the isue and refuse to issue a recall.
Roughly a year ago Ford issued a notification for a update that helped keep coolant from intruding into the engine. A week ago my car began to stall, flash warning lights, and would barely get me off the road. Upon having my car towed to the dealer they informed me the engine had been damaged from coolant in the engine, the exact issue stated in the notification received a year before. Now the dealer states the short block may need replaced. Why has Ford not issued a recall for an issue that could turn deadly for someone else? this issue is very popular with this car.

The car stalls on an occasional bases at a traffic light after sitting at the light for a bit. Taking the foot off the brake does not start the car up. I purchased a machine to detect codes and nothing came up.
Auto stop/start shuts down and turns car off completely at stop lights. I have to manually turn this feature off every time I start my car so that my car does not stall in intersections. When this error occurs I have to put my car in park and then restart my car and manually turn this feature off. This is dangerous and the dealership has no guidance for this other than costly repairs. This has been happening for over a year now.

2017 Ford Escape with 29,918 miles bought brand new. Engine lost power going up hill while passing a car in fast lane, barely made it safely off the road, engine light came on. Taken to dealer, found nothing. Then vehicle started to have rough idle every day, not running smoothly, almost stalling, engine light comes on then after a day or two goes off. Taken to dealer, they could not find a code on computer of why light came on. Asked them if it was safe to drive, was worried about breaking down, they said yes, safe to drive. Engine light came on again, took it to dealer while light was on, they checked and said needs new engine because of antifreeze going into oil. Told me they had 3 or 4 others with same problem waiting at garage to be fixed due to parts issue and the process dealer has to go through with Ford. Told me to drop it off and it would be at least 3 weeks until I get it back, is under warranty. A 2 year old SUV having to have the engine replaced because of a manufacturer's defect is unacceptable. Ford should offer a buy back especially because Ford also had this problem in earlier models of Escapes. If this is happening to more and more of the Escapes, why isn't Ford letting their customers know before their cars break down putting them in a potentially dangerous situation?.

The stall / start has failed twice in one week. The first occurrence: while coming to a complete stop, at a four way stop intersection with in the city, the vehicle went into the stall mode. When I removed my foot from the brake the vehicle would not restart. I had to put the vehicle into park and restart the car. The second occurrence: while sitting at a red traffic light on a busy city street the vehicle went into stall mode. When the traffic light changed, I took my foot off the brake but the vehicle did not restart and again I had to put the vehicle into park and restart the vehicle. Both times there were other vehicles present causing a potentially hazardous situation for me and other drivers on the roadway.
This vehical stalls in the middle of traffic. For example, it stalls and tells you to auto restart the engine before moving on. This is unsafe and putting risk on my family and I.
Car stalls at intersections. This started happening in January and has happened 5-10 times since. Message comes up to put car in park to restart. This is extremely dangerous as I do not know if the car will restart and possible rear end accidents.
Car has had issues over the past year and a half (first time happened Dec 2018) where the auto start/stop feature doesn't function properly. When it goes in to auto stop it will sometimes not restart automatically. A warning will appear on the dash to turn the car off and restart. I had this fixed at the dealer in December 2018- they replaced a sensor which was apparently not covered by warranty. A year later (now March 2020) is has started to do it again. The only way to have it not happen is to turn off the ecoboost function by pressing the button each time I drive the car. This is extremely dangerous to have to restart your car when it stall as a light with people behind you. It seems as if this is an issue with many people and should be recalled to have this fixed.
