We have had multiple instances of the Escape indicating low coolant and/or overheating/pull over safely (limp mode). Several times, we were in traffic on city streets when it suddenly went into limp mode and pulling over safely was scary. We have taken the vehicle to the Ford dealer multiple times and had the water pump replaced, the heater bypass hose replaced and the cooling system "burped". During the last visit, we were told the "coolant stand pipe" needed to be replaced for a fee of $1275. I understand that part was supposed to be replaced during Ford's 13s12 recall campaign. At this point, the Escape can't be trusted to go any distance without going into limp mode and posing a safety hazard to us and others near us.

Vehicle had a recall for coolant sensor fixed in 01/2018. Since then coolant has run low, been checked numerous times, had hoses replaced, several diagnostic tests looking for problems, car has since overheated, and is now in need of a new engine because of coolant system problem not fixed by a sensor alerting you to a level of fluid. No leak exists so cooling fluid is working its way through the engine system some other way. The problem has persisted for nearly 7 months now.

I bought my Ford Escape 2013 in March 2016 as used car. From the beginning I have problems with engine coolant. Coolant just disappears. I went to the mechanic and he said that heater hoses have to be replaced. I did it. But still I have to add coolant because it evaporates somehow. Nobody knows how to fix it and what is wrong, because it looks that cooling system is ok, but is not. I'm afraid to travel long distances because of this problem.

17s09 cooling system recall perfromed in Feb 2018 vehicle has had numerous trips back to multiple Ford dealerships follwoing high temperature light coming on. The engine has been replaced a hose replaced, cooling fan relay replaced. Currently the car is at a dealer who is now saying the instrument panel cluster is the problem but is now attempting to charge me $750, this car had no issues prior to the recall. Ford does not seem to know how to fix these problems and now I am about to be on the hook for them. I should't have to pay to be their guinea pig. They have left my car unsafe and unreliable.

The vehicle is having engine cooling problems. First, the engine coolant dropped so low the air conditioner stopped working while on vacation (summer 2017). Got the coolant refilled and then the level started dropping again. Took it to the dealership and water pump was replaced (fall 2017). Now the engine coolant light is on again; they say it has to do with hoses connecting the cooling system to the engine. They believe the car is not safe to drive but it will be 4-6 weeks before they can replace the hoses. They will let me rent a car from them (winter 2018).

I have been smelling a burning smell when I run my a/c and then a month later it froze up while driving to kansas. Then winter time came and now my heater is not heating properly. Well I took it to one of the Ford dealerships and they said it was fine even though they cleaned up coolant. I was also smelling coolant in my garage and under my hood of my Escape. So today I took it to another Ford dealership and they said the heater hose is broke. And it's on back order. I could of lost my car due to negligence. There has been a lot of recalls/work already on the cooling system in it. There needs to be a recall on these cars. It's not safe. It sends up red flags since the part is on back order.

Car continuously overheats. Have had it to 2 different mechanics they cannot find anything wrong. No leaks, no bad hoses. Had paid about 500. 00 to citrus Ford of ontario for a crossover valve to stop the over heating. Not yet corrected. Over heated today 10/4/17 while moving about a half mile from where I left in a matter of 5 minutes. I read of a recall on the same model of having cooling issues but my VIN evidently doesn't fall within the parameters. Otherwise unknown reason why it is over heating.

Stiff accelerator pedel. Cannot make a smooth acceleration from a complete stop. The pedal doesn't seem to "give" until it's pushed too much. When it's pushed too much. There is a surge of acceleration and usually the tires just spin, whether it's raining, snowing or just plain dry out.
