Not sure if there's a fuel problem or what it could be, but my vehicle pause on the first take off. It doesn't happen all the time, but soon as I fuel my vehicle and proceeding to drive off I'm accelerating in traffic and the vehicle will stop, pause as if I'm braking, vehicle is still running, everything I still on, it just pause while accelerating only on my first initial takeoff. I continue to try and accelerate, and then it will proceed to drive. Driving on the expressway, every now & then it has a egg sulfur smell. . With no codes reading. Service department will not fix unless they can read a potential code, or if they can catch the problem. However, the problem doesn't happen all the time. It's like having a tooth ache, & soon as you go to a dentist, the pain isn't there. . . The egg/sulfur smell doesn't always smell, it's like you drive it awhile, get on the expressway & you "might" discover the smell.

Check engine light went on and code p1450 for evaporative emissions purge valve. After refueling vehicle, it does not start without reving the engine at a high rate and still sometimes does not start. This is a common warranty item on many Fords during the time but not for this specific VIN.

Every time I get gas my engine stalls out citing an issue with the evap system — evap purge valve. This is not safe as it stalls out directly after filling the car up. The smell of gas is very prominent leading me to believe there could be a fire hazard associated with this as well.

A few months ago, engine coolant light came on and had more coolant added. Then the week after my card stopped in the middle of the road because the engine was over heating, I had to get it towed. Took it to mechanic and there was a hole and coolant leaking. My engine coolant light just came on again, requiring further inspection.

The vehicle in question shuttered into low rpm and then shut off with the electrical system still working with an error message: “manual restart required” and a flashing orange auto-start/stop indicator on dashboard. Vehicle must be restarted after stopping at a red light or stop sign in traffic posing a safety concern to occupants and other drivers while the driver manually restarts the vehicle. Local Ford dealership attempted to troubleshoot the vehicle. Issue is worst after getting gas and with low fuel in tank. Initial diagnostics showed no error codes. Issue began happening around March 2025 and has persisted and gotten worse since then. Vehicle taken for diagnostics around may 8, 2025.

My 2015 Ford Escape experienced sudden power loss while trying to proceed at a stop light in irving, texas on March 11, 2025.

The engine failed while I was driving through mountains. The car shut off and would not shut back on. The check engine light had been on for about 2 weeks.

2020 Ford Escape sel was taken into Ford service center for oil change and to address acceleration issue that started two days prior, (check engine light had come on the day before drop off). One week after dropping my vehicle off to be assessed, I was told I needed a small part and it would be complete in 3 days. Another week went by, so I reached out and was told that I need a new engine because of a known Ford issue. Unknown to me, coolant was leaking into the engine and destroyed it. I was assured by the Ford technician that this was a known issue and the problem did not arise from something I did/did not do. I was quoted over $9k and weeks worth of work. I easily drove the vehicle to the service center, but was told it is now no longer drivable. I drive a lot for work and had only had the vehicle for 15 months, still owing over $16k on my auto loan. I had no choice but to purchase a new (not Ford) vehicle and am now stuck with two vehicle payments. Vehicle is still sitting at the Ford service center while I pay on it monthly.

While I was driving, suddenly check engine light pop up. After investigating and troubleshooting by mechanic it shows need to replace evap canister purge valve. Vehicle has just 68000 miles and this component should not be failed this early in life cycle.

My 2007 Ford Escape hybrid (mileage currently 180,000 but the issue started around 150,000 miles) will occasionally (varies from once a week to once every 3 months) not respond properly when I'm accelerating from a stop. When this happens, I can push the accelerator all the way to the floor, but the car will accelerate very slowly for the first 5 seconds or so, and then start accelerating normally again. When this issue first began, it nearly resulted in multiple crashes when I was pulling out into traffic, but now I leave lots of extra space when pulling into traffic in case this happens. I've taken the car to an independent mechanic to try to diagnose the issue and they were unable to observe it since it doesn't happen frequently or predictably enough. There were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the issue starting.

When after fueling the car it will not start. You have to pump the gas and hurry and put it in gear or it will die. When it gets below a full tank while driving the gas tank starts to vibrate releasing pressure if you are not giving it fuel it will die while you are driving down the road, several formus explain hundreds of people experience this very same issue and no recall it needs to be recalled before someone gets seriously hurt . Something is wrong with the pressure build up senor or parts not sure been dealing with this issue for ever and each part I have replaced has not fixed the issue.

I have been notifying the Ford dealership about a problem that I feel is due to faulty fuel injectors since I bought the vehicle back in 2021, all of the repairs that have been done and that they have told me to do have not resolved the issue I keep getting the runaround, the vehicle sometimes while on the highway will automatically enter safe mode and I get a notice of an issue with the high pressure fuel system which immediately forces the vehicle to lower the speed to am unsafe speed.

Need a new motor at 60,000 miles. Iv never missed an oil change.

I had first took car to get first free oil change from abc Nissan and the service department couldn’t do it under 5000 miles and just topped of the oil. I had went back like few days later for an air filter replacement and they did not have to part and sent me over to Ford right across the street. I had Ford dealership run a code diagnostics on vehicle and found it needs computer updates and an expensive purge valve after having car for a couple days and hit me with a hefty price estimate I could not or npp car warranty from abc Nissan couldn’t cover for engine repairs since it wasn’t an engine issue but can affect the engine. I had went back into abc Nissan recently for a possible trade in and just got the run around from manager that help sold me the car and seem it was a waste of time putting almost 7500 for the car down payment plus 518 a month for car payments to be cheated when car start to have issues.

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 fuel neck tube requires replacement as per the mechanic's assessment. When refueling, the pump frequently stops every 5-10 seconds, as though the tank is full, necessitating multiple restarts. This defect makes it difficult to ascertain when the tank is genuinely full, leading to the risk of overfilling. On two occasions, despite the pump's intermittent stopping, it eventually functioned normally but resulted in overfilling, causing fuel to overflow from the fuel neck. This issue has been deemed out of warranty; however, Ford has offered to cover 50% of the repair costs as a goodwill gesture. Nonetheless, I believe that this defect should be fully covered and that a recall is warranted due to its significant safety implications. Additionally, a technical service bulletin (TSB) exists for this issue, and there is a substantial online community documenting similar defects in the 2020-2023 Escape hybrids. The estimated repair cost is $1,100, and the vehicle has less than 14,000 miles on the odometer. Enclosed are the diagnostic report (repairs pending), email correspondence from Ford, and the relevant TSB.

There is a courtesy replacement on the main fuel injector. I just recently had to replace my turbo. No my car bogs down won't go and smells like eggs which is the catalytic converter. The injection brakes the converter which brakes the turbo and Ford is not interested in helping very much. How can.

The fuel pump was replaced and a new one was installed and now the engine is misfiring really hard and when the vehicle is placed in drive or reverse the engine tries to stall. The mechanic is saying that I will have to purchase a fuel rail pressure sensor that controls the fuel to each fuel injector. If this item or the whole fuel system is on a recall list. Then I shouldn't have to pay anything to have it repaired and replaced by the dealership. I do need to be notified about this issue immediately. This is a 2011 Ford Escape XLT awd 4dr SUV with 3. 0 v6 flex fuel system.

I filled up the tank and the inside smells like fuel, and it leaks underneath it. I checked online and they had a recall for the same year but the 3. 0 engine, mine is the 2. 5l. I took it to the mechanich and it has the exact same issue as those that have been recalled. The fueld delivery system flange is cracked and leaking fuel. I called Ford and my car is not under that recall but it has the exact same issue. I need to pay it myself now and I am afrain for my safety as a lot of gas is leaking.

Leaking gas from gas tank where the fuel delivery pipe enters the tank.

Ford issued a recall on my vehicle in January 2025. They state that I cannot charge my car until they fix it, or it could catch on fire. I paid $8,000 extra for a car I can charge, and almost never use my gas engine. I have now not been able to charge my car for 5 months and there is no fix available and Ford has moved the expected fix date from q2 2025 to Aug/Sep 2025. I also have to pay additional taxes in the state of vermont for my plug-in, which I can't actually plug-in, and paid $2k for a home charger which is now useless. I have contacted Ford at least 4 times, because I'm concerned with the safety of my vehicle and they refuse to do anything. I have to drive my son to daycare each morning, and I'm concerned the vehicle will catch on fire with us inside of it. The vehicle charges when driving downhill and there are a lot of hills in vermont, so I'm constantly worried that the battery may charge too much and catch fire. I have spoken with my local dealership and they can't do anything and again, after contacting Ford numerous times, their message is "wait". This vehicle is completely unusable to me, since almost all of my daily driving used the battery and I've had to pay for gas for the last 5 months. Ford doesn't seem to be concerned with my safety, despite admitting that they sold me a vehicle that may catch on fire. I also attempted to trade the car back into the dealership, but they won't take it due to the recall which has no firm date for being addressed. I've going around and around in circles with all levels of Ford but they refuse to do anything. I just want to feel safe with myself and my family in my vehicle, but I do not feel safe and Ford doesn't appear to care.

With awd module. Tested power ground to the module. Isolated to faulty module no hill start, awd faulty module, new purge valve.

I was driving for uber and I smelled something biting along with my passengers, we had just gone through an area with a lot of smoke, so we figured it was that. After I dropped them off I noticed smoke billowing from my engine. The next day I had noticed my car was low on coolant, so I drove to ace hardware to grab some. After I put the coolant in the car I went to publix to get some groceries and when I got back I smelled the smoke again. I did some research and there was a class action lawsuit against for Ford for the Escape with 1. 5l engines and the fuel injectors cracking which caused coolant intrusion damaging the engine and causing them to over heat. I had my car towed to the dealership and the ect light came on along with a parking brake warning. . This car has been nothing but a headache, nothing but repairs since I’ve had it. There is also a csp, customer satisfaction protocol for the fuel injectors cracking and I was never told about it all the times I’ve been to the dealership. I’m thinking that’s what caused the overheating. .

My Ford Escape was diagnosed 12/31/2024 with a slight coolant intrusion. The dealership said my Escape would require a new short block engine at the tune of $7555. 28. I still owe $5800. I bought my car 12/2020 from a Ford dealership with 3rd party extended warranty with 45k and now vehicle has 72k. Ive been having vehicle serviced at different Ford dealership located closer to my house.

The vehicle was dropped off on 12/26/24 at planet Ford to have 2 recalls fixed. One being the electric power steering and the other being the fuel delivery module flange. A loaner vehicle was asked for, but not provided. The dealer said to contact Ford, and Ford said it was up to the dealer to provide that or rental assistance. The service personnel said after a few weeks and talking to Ford engineers, that the battery the vehicle had in it was not the right amperage/voltage. They said it would need to be replaced in order to continue to fix the recall. I had just put a new battery in it about 4 months prior and it was of the correct spec. I call every few days and have not been given and estimated time to have it fixed. Now, it's over a month and I still have no resolution and no vehicle. They are now saying that the computer is not good and also needs to be replaced. The car is not drivable and the recalls are not fixed. This is my only vehicle, please help with this. I have been patient and have exhausted every avenue available to me.

This 2020 Ford Escape-with less than 67k miles on it-is mostly inoperable, as of this date. This car was financed, from a fort lauderdale. Fl used car dealership, on or around [xxx]. The check engine light was on. I went to autozone to see what codes this could be attributed to. I was given printouts, reflecting codes p0171 & p2bf1 [air flow ratio and/or fuel injector related issues]. Additionally, the oil life on the car was at 0%.  I then checked to see if there were any open recalls. There were and on 12/3/24, 2 recall repairs were done at grieco Ford (oil separator pan: 22v191; drain tube replacement: 22s73). The car was fine. An oil change took place on 12/14/24, where the engine coolant was topped off. There were no issues and the car was driven periodically, since its purchase, to miami, because my mother suffered a stroke on 10/21/24 and was in her 2nd intensive rehab. As her only child, I am her poa and advocate. However, on [xxx] serious overheating occurred, when I drove less than 1. 5 miles away from home, and no engine coolant was in the reservoir. The car was sputtering and losing power. I had to pull over several times just to make it back home. Additionally, a seemingly oily/milky substance was around the radiator. As of [xxx], the motor mounts are worn causing the engine to violently shake and the original radiator is warped due to potential oil/coolant leaks the vehicle could have experienced, well before these recall repairs were executed. Also, there is another recall on this vehicle regarding fuel injector leaks. Ford has failed at any meaningful strides in fixing the litany of engine malfunctions; electrical system failures; and this car's computers disconnect in diagnosing issues adequately. I found out all of these after financing this car due to limited options had due to a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I already paid $270 for January's-full coverage-insurance payment & have to pay a $410 car payment on a car I can't drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Very strong smell of gas in my car , affecting me badly , got sick and threw up and took car in , and Ford changed my catalyst convertor among other things , no lights lit up for anything , the smell that was there is why I took it in and they kept the car until fixed and picked up , now I don’t feel safe , I have a 2022 Ford Escape 34000 miles and have had multiple serious recalls and very unsure of this car !.

My engine check light came on and it said engine fault service now, with a wrench signal exposed. Then I could hardly stop the vehicle , it became very difficult to apply the brakes, using all of my body weight applied to stop the vehicle. I immediately brought it to o’reily’s auto place and had a diagnostic test run on the vehicle. Multiple default code come up. P1016, p0365, p0299,p164d p0369,p0443,p0456,p1450. Brought it to the Ford dealership, upon inspection the diagnosis evap system related disc on this line , tested evap system, found canister purge valve to be broken , tech notes that this is a non oem part. Advised to replace purge valve and hose assembly. Also discovered that vacuum pump not pulling vacuum, advise to replace pump and reset. Upon removal of the vacuum pump, found pump cam lobe twisted off , vacuum pump is seized, cam replacement is seized , cam replacement will be required. Also both front axel boots are torn, spewing grease all over, recommend replacing both axels, leak p2 pinion value, left back axel leaking, both back brake rotors and pads worn 2mm in the red, coolant level low possible leak. Also is discovered that there was a non Ford part purge valve that shouldn’t be there. Estimated cost is 8,500-9000 dollars could be more.
