Check Engine Light On Problems of Ford Escape - part 1

On several occasions after fueling I noticed when trying to accelerate my car stalls. No check engine lights are on and car is serviced regularly. But,one day after fueling 15 minutes later ,while driving my car stalls and check engine light turns on. I drove straight to auto zone amd oreily’s to get the check engine light code read. They both come back as faulty evap purge solenoid. I saw that the Ford focus in the same year has had there evap solenoids recalled. Could it be possible the Ford Escapes evap solenoids need to be recalled as well??.

The check engine light came on ,so we took it to satelite Ford dealer and they could not find problem, week later light came on again so we took the vehicle to woody anderson Ford where it was purchased and now they say the engine needs replaced! after doing some on line research on line it looks as if Ford has a problem child on their hands. They also have issues with the tranny in 2014 -2018, this Escape only has 20000 miles on it now. Whats going to happen once the mfg.

January 5, 2021 we took the car into the Ford dealership because after 20 minutes of driving the car started to shudder and jerk and hesitate. And this happened at 50 mph. The check engine light came on and we could smell what we thought was exhaust in the car. They used the diagnostics and determined the number two ignition coil as bad and needed to be replaced. The spark plug was also replaced. Also while the car was being diagnosed the battery died and had to be replaced. Cost $484. ** were back at the dealership on February 8th with the same issue. This time they informed us that the number 2 and 3 cylinders were misfiring and that there was there was coolant intrusion in the engine. I was informed it would cost about $900 just to take the engine out and do further diagnostics and that the engine may need to be replaced. They only offered $375 toward the expenses. After seeing all the remarks about the issue with the Ford eco boost engine, I hope they will do a recall and fix the problem. The car is currently parked in my driveway.

It started our as the occasional misfire and then the check engine light came on. I took it in to a local meineke where they said 1 of the coils (I believe coil 2) needed to be replaced. I also replaced all 4 plugs at that time as well. Maybe a month later it started misfiring again with the check engine light back on. I took it back to the shop and they said it showed the same coil as needing to be replaced. They recommend I take it to Ford for better diagnosis where they tell me I now need a new engine for upwards of 6 thousand dollars. . . See pictures for Fords description.

I bought this car 1 year ago with 52k miles on it. Last month the check engine light started blinking at 62k miles. Mechanic diagnosed it as code p0302, piston #2 compression at 90 psi, all others performing at 190 psi. He contacted Ford who informed him of TSB pertaining to engine failure. The list of parts required for repair is 6 pages long and most parts are on back order. I contacted Ford to request reimbursement for what they know is either a faulty engine design or faulty manufacturing but they refused to help. They did offer to sell me an extended service warranty which would not cover this repair. This is unacceptable. Ford needs to be held accountable for selling what they know to be a ticking time bomb.

Had the coolant reservoir crack twice, vehicle was stopped immediately and then the part was replaced right away. After the second time I asked if this was a common issue with these vehicles I was told it was and that they are constantly reordering these parts. Not even 2 months later I took it is because it had a check engine light and they claimed it was 2 bad sensors, I took it in to get repaired and then they told me my motor was shot.

The check engine light came on and it said coolant engine, while it was in motion then it turned red and said stop the vehicle. I stop my husband put water in it to drive it home and the light went off. Then when I drove the car about 30 miles again it did the same thing.

While driving the check engine light stays on with code p0128. I check this code is the thermastat defective or something else causing the problem. I did not notice any coolent loss or leaks is this an internal problem. I think this is a on going problem with this 2013 Ford Escape. Ford should take responsibility and own this problem not the owners of the vehical.

Approx may 1st my check engine light came on. I proceeded to the nearest auto store and checked the code. At that time I purchased air filters as well and went home and installed the air filters and checked all the fluids. Light went off. May 15th light comes on. I am an hour away from the dealership so I make an appt to bring my car to the local mechanic to make sure am safe to drive this at all. Before leaving my house in the mail is a letter from Ford stating my vehicle is at risk of having coolant intrude into the engine cylinder bores. I call the dealership right then 5/15 and get a appt for first thing Monday and am told the engine light is not blinking your fine to drive. That evening my high temp light/pull over light comes on. I wait an hour and get home. The next morning I try to start the car and check and see if I can drive it or will need a tow truck to get it to the dealership. High tem light comes on again. I check the engine and find in less than approx. 7 days the coolant is empty. I get the car to the Monday 8 am appt. . . . Friday the 22nd they tell me yes this is what happened and it a known problem but it will cost you 6k to replace the short block. It is now at the dealership getting the engine replaced. I called several mechanics to try and get quotes and they said they would not touch this because they all know this is a Ford problem with this engine.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that at vehicle start-up, the check engine light illuminated.

While driving on county road (cr475) @ 50 mph experienced dangerous loss of acceleration power. Wrench and check engine lights comeon. Turned engine off and restarted clears lights for awhile, then they reappeared while driving. Called Ford dealer (ocala, FL) told me issue is know to them but customer satisfaction campaign had expired @ 4 months prior for my vehicle! I purchased and registered vehicle 12/2015, have never received any notices of this issue. They acknowledged that this throttle actuator failure was a dangerous issue said I should replace it myself "if I chose to" and keep receipts "in case they issue a recal in the future" Ford dealer gave me compliant # cas26375302. . Spent $400 to have this corrected because I believe this could be a life threatening situation if it occurs at high speed or in an intersection. I guess Ford will wait for someone to get hurt before acknowledging the severity of this throttle malfunction.

While coasting on the freeway at approximately 70mph my Ford Escape stopped accelerating. No warning lights illuminated, simply the accelerator stopped functioning. All fluid were okay and no overheating condition was present. I was able to pull over to the shoulder, shut off the engine and after a few minutes turned the engine back on. I pressed on the accelerator and the car jerked forward. The Ford seemed to go in and out of gear. I ended up towing the vehicle home. I had the transmission serviced (new transmission fluid). Few weeks later, same thing happened again (replaced throttle body) with not check engine light or fault code ever coming on. The second time this occurred, I was almost involved in a collision due to not being able to accelerate. Car drove again on and off. Took it to a transmission shop and was advised the transmission would need to be rebuilt. Transmission was rebuilt and the Ford seems to be driving much better, shifting is still not smooth.

Driving my 2015 Ford Escape 1. 6 turbo on interstate, started to feel like transmission was slipping but a few days later the check engine light came on code p26b7 at dealer (code p0012 at o'reilly auto parts). O'reilly says it was a generic code for "cam shaft sensor" but Ford says the code p26b7 is coolant bypass valve c needs replaced costing about $500. I noticed there are a ton of other complaints on this same 2015 Escape and even a recall for this problem on the 2014 Ford Escape 1. 6 turbo. Obviously there needs to be a recall on the 2015 as well! also Ford dealer mike murphy Ford in morton IL says my transmission is fine though I don't feel like it is.
