1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2010 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 02/11/2021

@12:56pm on 2/11/2021, my car suddenly and without warning lost all electrical power, acceleration, lights, pedal/gas completely unresponsive. The time remained on. It was f with no precipitation on dry/partly snowy pavement on highway us31 just s of the north muskegon/business 31 bypass. I was going about 75 mph and adjusted the cruise control to slow for another vehicle shortly before the shutoff. It is not clear if that is related, because the timing was not immediate. I had not changed lanes in more than a mile, although the road does twist slightly in that location. I had on automatic lights, defrost and rear defrost, bluetooth audio, and cruise control. My tank was just below 1/2 full of gas and the vehicle has been maintained but is not stored in a garage overnight. I coasted to an emergency lane on the passing lane, turned the key off (other than the time, audio, and brakes, nothing else would respond. ) I started the car again after about 60 seconds, it started without problem, and I could continue to my vaccine appointment with no discernible signs of any other issue or error. It was terrifying.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2013 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 09/15/2020

Notice other Escapes had the same issue as mine when I started googling symptoms my car was having. I heard a humming noise coming from the fuel tank the actual capless intake cover rattles very loudly and continuously until the vehicle is turned off. When gas would get pumped into the car it wouldn't start right away and when it does it idles hard and runs rough along with black smoke coming out of the pipes with an old dead like gas smell. . . . I researched and decided to have a diagnosis done which told me it was the canister purge valve I watched videos where the narrator would have the issue solved but even after I got that worked on the vehicle continued to make the humming noise also continued to drive rough. . . There has been only one situation where my car actually stalled while in drive and in motion. Literally I was turning a corner using my brake after completing the turn I pressed the gas to continue driving and all lights on my dash came on and the vehicle came to a complete stop. It started right back up but I didn't understand what made it cut off. . .

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

The gas tank is faulty. Suddenly, it will not hold gas. Gas began to pour out after I had filled the tank just a few minutes beforehand. I noticed the gas pouring out when the vehicle was stationary and parked in our garage. There has been no accident or external damage to the car to cause this issue. I read that some 2011 Ford Escapes were recalled for this very issue, but my VIN does not appear in the database and customer service advised that I fill out this form.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2016 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 04/15/2020

Driving down very busy street and vehicle stalled as I pulled up to traffic light and came to a stop. As many as 3-4 times I was almost rear ended while trying to get vehicle started. Problem seemed to only occur when fuel tank is below 1/2 tank and I would notice fuel fill port flapper vibrating and sucking air into fuel tank. The Ford focus has this recall on the canister purge valve, why not on a Ford Escape. Same part used on both. This problem went on for two weeks before I could get vehicle into dealership.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2017 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 01/31/2020

Vehicle has been making loud noises from the fuel tank when driving at slower speeds (20 and under) and when coming to a stop. The rpm goes very low, almost stalling out. Purge valve and canister need to be replaced and are not covered under warranty. The Ford fusion has had a recall on this same exact issue, and my vehicle falls within the years recalled. This seems to be a common problem when speaking with others whose vehicle is around the same year. This is not safe as I had my vehicle in the shop for 3 days and the problem was not able to be located until I was able to capture a video.

10 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 2013 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 10/25/2019

My 2013 Ford Escape has been occasionally idling funny when I start it sometimes or when I am at a stop light for some time and begin to go. It will start to putter like it is going to stall and even has stalled a time or two. It seems as if there isn't any fuel getting to the engine but the entire tank is full of gas. The car will putter and be reluctant to accelerate until it starts to go back to normal or stalls out. Once I restart the car and give it gas, it sounds and works normal. This has happened about 3 times now in the last month. There is only $125,000 miles on the car. This should not be a wear and tear issue as I always keep my gas tank no less than a quarter tank. No lights are appearing when this happens. The car just doesn't idle correctly and sounds like it is not getting enough gas or is running out of gas.

Failure Date: 01/14/2019

I have had issues with a check engine light that lights up all the time on the car. It will also say "check fuel fill inlet" when I pump gas. The code reads p0455 which means the engine computer recognizes a large leak in the evaporative emission control system (evap). The vehicle's evap system is sealed, it's main purpose is to prevent gasoline vapors in the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere. I am not sure if one of the recalls pertains to this, but this is an ongoing problem for me. So much so, that I have stopped driving the car in fear for my safety and my family.
