Engine Knocking Noise Problems of Ford Escape

As I was traveling on a city street at 30mph everything seemed fine. I stopped at a red light. While stopped I suddenly heard a knocking sound near the front of the vehicle. When the light turned green I started to go. The vehicle suddenly stalled. Prior, there had been no check engine or warning lights on. The vehicle was up to date on all required maintenance services. It would not restart. Vehicles behind me sounded their horns immediately. I put my 4way emergency flashers on. Called a tow truck. Tow arrived 30 minutes later. My vehicle and me were in a very dangerous situation for 30 minutes, as cars and trucks had to negotiate around us at a very busy city intersection. I was nearly struck by angry motorists who were burdened by my breakdown. I was told by two repair shops that there was a catastophic internal engine failure. The easiest and most cost effective plan would be to replace the engine. I had the engine replaced at a cost of $ 4164. There was 72649 miles on the failed engine.

Engine lost all oil. There is no oil spot on the road no leak detected each oil change at 3k miles. I had gone to lunch, no problem, no noise, no warning lights. I got in the vehicle to go home and heard a loud banging sound. I immediately turned off the vehicle and towed it home. I checked the oil and it was gone. I had just had to have the transmission replaced and within 2 weeks the oil is just gone. There are 36 other reported incidents of oil being lost in the engine and Ford will do nothing. The cost of a replaced engine is any where from 5ooo to 9000 dollars. If you are lucky enough to have your engine quit when you are are at work like me you can get a tow. Some have reported that the engine just stopped on the highway. Here in southern California that is deadly for several people. Ford and dot need to look into this and replace these engines. The day prior to my engine issue I had checked the oil and it was full. But the next day it disappeared . Without a trace.

Driving down the freeway and my vehicle shuts off without warning. There is a loud knocking and shuttering noise like my whole engine is going to drop onto the freeway. I get to the shoulder and put it in park. As I try to start the vehicle again the engine/motor starts shaking yet again with a loud knocking noise and wont turn over. I had to get my car towed. My children were extremely scared and being on the freeway this issue is very dangerous and has been complained about multiple times.

I bought the vehicle on September 4,2015 all these problem started 1 month after. Manuel transmission gets to rough at times when being shifted into 1st gear and reverse gets stuck and hard to shift, might be part of the recall no# 15s28 the engine oil seems to use 1qt a week, recently had a changed oil but continues to use the same every week, mileage is at 132467. The air bag for passenger light continues to light up and goes off when driven. A banging noise when driven on the road at rear shock absorbers are located, the shocks are still new.

I was driving on the highway when the "engine fault service now" warning light came on. My car then lost power and went into a "limp home" mode. Once I safely arrived at my destination I turned off the vehicle. Once it was turned back on, it was fine. I took this into the dealership. They repaired a recall and ordered parts. It took a few days for the parts to get in. During that time every time I drove on the highway the car started making a knocking noise and then the light would come back on and the vehicle would go back into that limp home mode. I was almost rear ended by semis and other vehicles at fast rates of speed due to this issue. I took the vehicle back in for them to install the ordered parts. When I got my car back the issue continued, and now my car is in the shop for the 4th time. They are working with Ford engineers and they are not having luck finding the issue. I have read of other individuals having this same issue. Is it going to take a fatality before something is done? I have an 8 month old baby, and I bought a new car for safety and security - I do not have either at this time.

On March 30, 2002, I purchased a brand new Ford Escape XLT at hayward Ford in hayward, CA. I had taken the vehicle previously to the Ford service department for a loud knocking noise that the vehicle had been making and Ford was unable to verify my complaint. On July 20, 2002, I attempted to drive the vehicle to los angeles for a family reunion with four small children in the car which included my two daughters, my neice and my nephew. Going at a speed of about 65 miles per hour, the engine caught on fire and all aspects of the vehicle shut down including the power steering and the brakes. I had to struggle to get the vehicle to the side of the road. The car is now sitting at magic Ford in valencia, CA where I had it towed. Ford has refused to pay for the rental car that I am forced to drive. Ford has not bothered to contact me. Out of concern for the saftey of my family and others, the Ford Escape needs to be recalled before someone is killed or seriously injured.
