Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Ford Escape - part 1

We have a 2013 Ford Escape and it dies/stalls out periodically. When this happens, there is no warning and typically it is after idling (at a stop light). My daughter was at a stop light after getting gas and once the light turned green, and she began to accelerate, the vehicle died and she had to coast across a 7 lane busy street to get out of traffic. This is not a new problem, it has happened on more than one occasion. We have taken it to the mechanic and it doesn't typically bring up a "code" on the machine they use. On one occasion, it did and we replaced the fuel pump ($600) which did not solve the problem. This is a huge safety concern!!! and after reading some additional information, there are a lot of people with the same problem! please do something!.

Dangerous intermittent problem where vehicle stalls without warning while driving. This requires the driver to pull over, stop, put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. Frequently once it stalls, it is not safe to pull back out into traffic right away because it usually stalls again. I replaced the high pressure fuel pump, but the car continues to stalls at random while driving. No check engine light appears.

Car will intermittently stall, generally after starting. Regardless of giving it gas (pedal to the floor), it stalls. I have had both the fuel pressure sensor and high pressure fuel pump replaced twice (each), and yet the problem still exists. Local mechanic had no idea what could be causing it.

When opening the drivers door sometimes a noise comes from the rear of the vehicle. It lasts about 1 to 2 seconds and sounds like a ratcheting noise. The vehicle is parked. It has been in service for two weeks and they can't duplicate the problem. I took a video and showed to them with sound. Also last summer it was in service for a week with no results. I saw a possible cause on the internet which was involving the fuel pump.

Purchased from Ford dealership while living in new york. Under the warranty, check engine light came on and fuel line was repaired in 2016 (Ford CO), I never received any correspondence regarding any recalls from Ford comp. Same issue occurred and I had to pay $2k to repair it because I was not aware of any recalls. I moved to waxhaw, nc in 2017. After the same issue occurring, I called the Ford motor company in lancaster, SC (moved here in 01/2020). I found out about the multiple "recalls" only when I called Ford CO in lancaster. I was never mailed any recalls. The Ford CO found recalls and I took it to them on 3/11/2020. Note that they did not offer me a loaner car, even though it was recall work . I picked it up the same day and two days later, it overheated yet again. I called Ford CO and spoke to jatoya and jamie. On March 17,2020, it stalled and then stopped while I was driving on the hwy. Check engine light came on again. I took it to Ford CO and they stated it had multiple issues that would cost me $6,700. 60 to repair! they replaced the coolant level sensor and a leak. On the NHTSA vehicle safety recall site, I discovered 5 recalls. Recall #'s 17v472000 (7/25/17),15v406000 (6/24/15)-electrical/instrument panel, 15v005000(1/9/15)-fuel system/gas delivery,fuel pump), 17v209000(3/27/17)-engiine/engine cooling), & 14v403000(7/2/14). I believe this should qualify as "lemon law" or an explanation as to why I received no notices regarding these significant recalls. Lastly, I trust that you will resolve these issues in a timely manner, provide me with a cost free loaner vehicle, and allow me to trade in this vehicle for another one (considering the costs and inconvenience incurred to myself and the innate possible injuries that could have occurred during the time that I was unaware of these.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the vehicle made a loud humming noise while driving. The battery light and the oil light would come on and the vehicle would shut off when stopped. The contact had to turn the vehicle off and on and the vehicle would work fine. The contact stated that this issue happened once week starting on 12/22/19. The dealer westway Ford 801 w airport fwy, irving, TX 75062 (972) 584-9033 said the vehicle was not covered by a recall. The fuel pump needed to be replaced according to an independent mechanic the contact checked with. The manufacturer only said the vehicle was not covered under a recall. The failure mileage was 72,000 tf.

Fuel pump cracked (part #pfs534) in 2010 Ford Escape hybrid 2. 5l engine similar to recall on other Ford Escapes with 3. 0l engine. Cracked fuel pump caused vapor leak engine light. Vehicle would still operate but strong fuel smell was coming from the fuel tank area and within the vehicle. I was surprised that the recall only impacted 3. 0l engine fuel pump and not other Ford Escapes, especially when it seems like they are having the same problem and likely have a very similar part.

Vehicle repeatedly stalls after starting the vehicle and taking off. The vehicle will start and then I begin driving and it will shutter, lose acceleration ability, and stall out. Then I have to put the vehicle in park in the middle of the road or parking lot and restart. Sometimes it starts after a little delay just fine, and other times I had happened back to back two to three times. No warning lights remain. I also had coolant leak occur. Just got engine hoses, sensors, a new fuel pump in hopes of fixing the coolant leak and the stalling. Too soon to tell if the coolant problem is gone, but stalling is still occurring! feels extremely unsafe in a vehicle that randomly stalls out while driving.

Check engine light started at about 75,000 miles. Car stalls after adding gas and will occasionally stall at "idle". Will also occasionally hum from the gas tank cover. Had to have the purge solenoid/canister (replaced 4 times), seal pump and other parts to the fuel pump replaced due to failure. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

This vehicle had a recall regarding the fuel delivery module repaired in may 2019 (by chapman Ford in horsham, PA), just before I bought the car in June. In late August 2019, the car was having difficulty starting. I brought it to my local Ford dealership (fullerton Ford in somerville, NJ). They insisted chapman Ford did a poor job with the recall repair (specifically connecting the fuel pump) and Ford corporate authorized fullerton to fix chapman's poor work (free of charge for me). A few days ago, the vehicle failed to start even when jump started. The local Ford dealerships (malouf Ford in north brunswick, NJ and fullerton Ford) said they didn't have an opening to work on the car for 3 weeks. I wanted to take this vehicle to a Ford dealership but I can't afford to be out of a vehicle for 3 weeks so I took the car to a private shop (quality auto center in franklin park, NJ) . The private shop diagnostically proved the fuel pump no longer works. The private shop replaced the fuel pump and the vehicle now works again. This is indeed an older vehicle, but I think the timing is especially suspicious that the fuel pump fails shortly after it has been handled multiple times for recall repair. Furthermore, chapman Ford was deemed by Ford corporate to do a subpar recall repair. I called fullerton Ford and Ford corporate about potential liability but they didn't seem interested to entertain because I wasn't able to bring my car to the dealership for inspection.

I was told 6 months ago by the tire & lube place by the Ford dealership (they work with the Ford dealership) that it looked like my coolant tank was possibly cracked, but wasn't a big issue since it still held "enough" anti-freeze. However my engine light ended up coming on later and I found out that it was the coolant sensor that was bad. This is already a recall with the 2014 Escape, but I keep getting told that is "is not for my VIN number!" also, the fuel pump was bad, so I had to replace that at the exact same time. And again, that is already a recall and I am being told "it is not for my VIN number!".

Check engine light on when driving and when parked and engine running and smell of raw gas fumes near left rear wheel area. Shop tested found code p0456 traced to cracked and leaking electric fuel pump. Replaced pump now ok . In checking I found there was a recall #16s41 for 2012 Escape with v6 engine , my car is a 4 cyl . Not incl. In recall but produced in same production sequence production date 8-11 sales date 11-19-2011 the above recall was for leaking fuel pump . I believe my car should have been recalled also . I contacted dealer they referred me to Ford CO. Filed case #cas-21767319 on 5-29-19 Ford said no recall ,sorry no help with repair bill . I believe this should have been recalled as a safety hazard also covered under emission warranty 8 yeas or 80,000 miles I wrote to dealer 9-12-2019 no response car had 79. 795 at time of repair. I still have the car and the defective fuel pump if inspection is required. This condition was on public street and private property moving and stationary. My car could have been involved in a fire if the cause of the fuel leak wasn't detected.

Vehicle looses propulsion suddenly with little to no warning. The high pressure fuel pump has been found to be the culprit. Fuel rail pressure will maintain 680-2200 psi for long durations and trips before randomly dropping to 50-80 psi and stalling. This happens at low speeds such as waiting to turn left at an intersection, sitting at a stop light, or navigating a parking lot.

Stalling while driving. Prior to the stalling, gas cover began to loudly vibrate. Upon stopping to examine location of vibration noise, I opened the gas cover and lightly opened pour spout. . Excessive air pumped out. This has occurred 2 sequential days now. I see a tentative recall in 2015 for a specific date of manufacture range but nothing else regarding the fuel pump.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, it stalled without warning on more than one occasion. After the failures, the contact turned the vehicle off and it was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to several independent mechanics. Coggin deland Ford-Lincoln (2655 north volusia avenue, orange city, florida 32763, (386) 490-4325) was made aware of the failures and replaced the low pressure fuel pump sensor. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case numbers: cas-as15834530 and cas-1576. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

Upon leaving work on July 31st 2018 I noticed an odd smell as I approached my 2012 Ford Escape limited. Upon getting closer to the car I noticed the smell was gas. I was alarmed thinking my vehicle may not start or could possibly explode if I tried. When opening the door the smell was unbearable. After calling my son he said that there was a recall for my generation Ford for a cracking fuel pump. He said it will be safe to start but will be leaking gas everywhere so keep an eye on the gauge. After starting the car I noticed that the gas level was almost 1/2 a tank lower than when I arrived just 8 hours before. I rolled all four windows down and drove the car the shop I've been visiting and trust. They took my vehicle in on August 1st 2018 and said that they will look into it. After diagnosing the problem they discovered it that the fuel pump was cracked. With only 31,000 miles. After attempting to reach the dealer and the Ford customer service program they told me that the vehicle is not covered under the recall issued by NHTSA. This vehicle seems to fall in every category other than a seven month difference on the build number. Ford said that they are unable to assist me in recovering my money for a recall that is on the same year make model and trim level.

Whilst driving on streets and highways, at least 1 month, me and my wife began noticing 2013 Ford Escape 1. 6 hesitate! and stall, several times on and off streets and highways. Pcm, module is sending incorrect signals, codes read, com needs reprogramming, also coolant system leaks!, may be causing over heating, and fire in engine compartment, water pump went out, Wednesday June 6th 2018, car is now at Ford dealership, for, investigation into recall work. That may have not been performed. Prior to sale to dealership where we purchased it. We would like any updated information about recall repairs performed by fleet?, company that sold it to super auto sales. , including calibration and over heat software to prevent over heating etc. , along with 13 other original recalls that should have already been performed, and some record who recall repairs were performed by etc. Also the driver and passenger seatback recliner mechanism has insufficient strength, becomes loose and leaning while I'm driving on streets and highways, this been since purchased under a year ago pre-owned 100,486 miles on odometer. Also constant smell of strong gas coming from engine compartment, low gas mileage, significant loose of engine coolant, etc. As mentioned prior in my compliant, full line and fuel pump may need service, because of strong gas fumes in and around vehicle. Thanks for your time. This happened over a period of a month till it broke down and we had it towed, we just found out about recall, and wad not told it was needed or had been performed by super auto sales in modesto CA. Dealership we purchased pre owned vehicle is super auto sales 4312 disk rd. Modesto CA. 95356 (209-689-5455),.

Takata recall- had a recall on the fuel delivery module flange replaced and having issues starting , long cranking issues. Ford dealer refused to believe that the technician didn't install it properly. Never had an issue with my vehicle with only 50,000 miles on it until after the recall was performed. I believe the technician improperly installed the part and now every time I start my vehicle it has long cranking issues. I'm worried it might mess with my starter or fuel pump.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that she turned her vehicle on and the engine turn off and failed to restart. No warning lights illuminated. Due to this, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the failure was not due to a recall and there was nothing that they can do. The failure mileage was 59. 337 nr.

My vehicles fuel intake is not functioning properly. Each time I service my vehicle with gas and go to start it up, it stalls and acts as if it doesn't not want to turn over then eventually starts right up. For a while this only happened when servicing with gas but eventually led to the, "improper" cranking each and every time I would start my vehicle. It also has caused the vehicle to stall/shut off without warning (other than a screeching loud electric sounding noise from the back of the vehicle) while actually operating on the road. I've contacted my local dealer, their recall department and such after learning about a "fuel system/gasoline: delivery: fuel pump recall" called, "01/09/2015" and another before in 2014 but they keeping telling me that my vehicle isn't subjected to any of those specific recalls and I believe otherwise. When I first purchased the preowned vehicle the check engine light go on and off from time to time but I never had the funds to go and actually check it out and because I would turn stat on for such a short time and remain off for such a long period of time I did not think it was a big deal, maybe a computer issue. But for the past several months the check engine light has been on without turning off what so ever and ever since then my car has been having all the issues that I previously mentioned. I had it diagnosed and the results showed that was the issue and the only issue the vehicle holds. I am in hopes of whomever this issue may concern of will be able to help link my vehicle to the, fuel system recall as supposed. Thank you and god bless!.

Fuel pump has gone out in vehicle. After sitting idle for two days, it would not start to leave house. Had to tow to dealership, where they informed me it's beyond the 60,000 mile warranty so I have to foot the bill for it (even though the car itself is not even four years old). Car has 83,000 miles on it.

I was leaving the grocery store. I backed out of the parking space and within seconds the car started chugging like it wanted to quit. I pressed the gas pedal but the rpms would not budge. I pulled over to the side, shut the car off, and restarted. It took a few seconds before it would start. I pulled into the lane and it did the same thing. It did this 6 more times before I could actually get it to go without stalling. I noticed the vehicles produced a few months before mine had a recall for the fuel pump. This should be extended to cover other vehicles.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the dealer (walker Ford, 17556 us highway 19 n, clearwater, FL 33764) stated that Ford was not performing repairs for NHTSA campaign number: 16v777000 (fuel system, gasoline) because it caused an issue with the fuel pump. The dealer stated that no more of these recalls would be repaired until Ford agreed to pay for a fuel pump. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Car just shut off while driving in heavy traffic withouy warning. Almost hit. Could not restart. Had to be pushed across busy road by police to safety then towed. They tell me it's fuel pump at 86,000 miles. My VIN shows not part recall.

Fuel pump sensor not working right. Not letting enough air in. Making the car stall when in drive.

Driving and car went into power failure mode and wrench displayed on dash display. Found paperwork about throttle body safety recall. Decided to have safety recall 16s41 fuel module done also since it was going in for work. On sept 5, 2017 took to keystone Ford chambersburg 717-264-5104. After both repairs done I was starting car to leave- had very long crank time. Had service person come out to hear and he said" sounds like your starters going bad". Left Ford and car continued with long crank times- never had this problem before they worked on it. Took back on sept 8,2017- they found nothing but said I needed new fuel pump $700. 00. I complained because they had worked on the fuel pump and then it went bad!! clayton black offered me to do the fiel pump for $509 and no cost for labor. Also if not fixed don't have to pay for work done. Went to parson's interstate Ford shippensburg for 2nd opinion. They said they could do the fuel pump for $474 which included labor! when parson's removed the fuel pump they said a ring was loose and would have eventually leaked gas- would have been dangerous. Keystone didn't have it on correctly! I want keystone to pay for the fuel pump repair they caused the damage to- $499.

I am contacting in regards to the Ford recall 270277; fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump. My gas cap light came on last September and when I took it into my regular shop they were able to repair it, however, as this as before the recall was sent out, I had to pay out of pocket. This was a significant cost and I would like to be reimbursed. I am attaching the receipt here with a description of the repair which matches the description of the recall. When I searched how to address the situation, this is the first option that came up, if there is somewhere else I need to reach out to, please advise. Thank you.

While driving on a busy street the car stalled and would not turn over to restart. Other vehicles had to swerve to avoid collision while it stalled and pushed to a safe location. Once taken to the mechanic it was identified as the fuel pump being the problem. Even though my VIN number was not identified in the recall of other 2014 Ford Escape it should be looked into expanding the recall due to the possibility of danger to passengers in the vehicles.

I was sold the car with a defective fuel pump and never warned that it needed to be recalled, therefore, I have been driving it for over a year with the possibility of it starting on fire. Also, recently the power train went on my car almost exactly one month after the warranty was up. After researching this issue it has come to my attention that many other Ford Escape owners have experienced this exact issue. I was even told by one mechanic that this is a known issue with Ford Escapes amongst mechanics. When the car is in motion it "clunks" and does not shift properly. I am concerned for the safety of others who may be driving these cars without the knowledge that there is something wrong with it.

While driving uphill on a bridge on a city street at 40 mph engine suddenly quit and all dashboard lights came on. No previous dashboard warning lights before shut down. Coasted to a parking lot. Engine would turn over but not start. Had car towed to dealer. Fortunately no traffic at time, but if I had been on expressway or in heavy traffic the result could have been wrecks and fatalities. Dealer said it was a fuel pump problem. I attached the repair report with personal info hidden. This needs to be a recall before some gets injured as could be very dangerous if occurs in heavy traffic.

My car completely shit off going g 60mph in the fast lane on the highway indangering me and my 2 young kids it would not restart after many attempts, , moths pryer I complained to dealer that my car was jerking and sometimes felt as it wasn't getting fuel. But they continue to tell me nothing is wrong with my car but since it shut off it's at the dealership and was told the fuel pump malfunctioned.

The contact took the vehicle to tasca Ford seekonk (200 fall river Ave, seekonk, MA 02771, (800)-737-0435) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 28,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact received a recall notification regarding the fuel leak. The contact stated that there was a puddle of fuel coming from the vehicle. Earlier that day, the contact filled the vehicle with fuel. The dealer stated that the recall was related to fuel leaking from a different part of the vehicle and the contact would have to pay out of pocket for the fuel pump assembly to remedy the fuel leak. The recall information was not provided. The failure mileage was 117,000.
