While driving the car usually going up a hill the temperature gauge quickly goes up and shows the car is overheating and all kinds of warnings sounds and visual notices go off telling me to stop the car and park safely. This has happened 3 times. The last time this happened 2 days ago I could put the car into gear but it would not engage and go forward or backward and I had to coast to a stop and pull over to the side of the road and have it towed.

I have a 2013 Ford Escape, VIN is 1fmcu9gx8dub91248, I have approximately 40,000 miles on my car. In early November I had an incident that said my car was overheating and to �pull over now� I thought that was strange as I had only started driving a minute before the occurrence. I pulled over and stopped my car, about 10 minutes later it started back up without a problem, I took it to a place to have it checked out but they never found a problem. However on November 20th I had the same exact issue happen after only driving for about 30 seconds. I called Ford and they said there was no recalls and nothing they could do if they didn't see the issue themselves. I again took it to my car mechanic and the wiring harness was changed as per a recommendation from a friend he had that works for Ford. I just got my car back a few days ago and today I had the same exact issue. I did take it to a Ford dealership today however I am completely appalled that I will have to pay for this issue. My car is not even 5 years old and has had over 14 recalls. . All of which I have gotten fixed. This is a very dangerous problem and I have read several complaints from other people with 2013 Ford Escapes that have had the same problem.

My vehicle was overheated for about 3 times and I have reported it to the Ford dealership here in american samoa. I also received a recall notice about this vehicle (safety recall notice 17s09). Up to now, the Ford dealership have not fix this recall issue and I and my family are always at higher dangerous risk due to this unresolved recall. I have paid hundreds of dollars to the dealership for fixing the problem via other replacement parts and still nothing directly to the recall part. The recall part is the engine coolant.

While driving down the highway at 65 mph, an alert appeared stating "low coolant". In the past the car had stated the same alert before alarming that the car was overheating and needed to be pulled over. At that point the car would then going into limp mode. Due to this history, we knew we had to attempt to get to the side of the highway as soon as possible. Within one minute, the car did alarm "overheating" and went into limp mode. We were only able to get to the left hand shoulder of an on-ramp (middle of the highway). At this point we got out of the car and found that the coolant level was normal. After waiting 20 minutes we drove in reverse up the on-ramp to get off the highway, because we were confident we could not safely get to the next exit (several miles away). We then had the car towed to a local Ford dealer (phil long Ford of denver). This is the dealership where we had previously brought our vehicle to repair this same issue. At that time, the dealership replaced a broken temperature sensor, stating that this was what was causing the overheating issues. Our vehicle also had maintenance completed on it as part of the 13s12 recall (risk of overheating) in 2015. The issue clearly has not been resolved after multiple "fixes" have been performed.

SUV regularly overheats when accelerating up hill in warm weather. The SUV was purchased with the largest engine because we live in the mountains in warm California. When car overheats power is lost and we lose the ability to accelerate in an emergency safety condition. The car also runs rough and jerks once it cools down and power regains. The manufacturer has been contacted and even though they have been able to pull codes verifying the problem have not fixed it (or even attempted to fix it each time it is brought in. The car has a 3500 pound trailer rating. If a trailer was attached we would be on the side of the road in dangerous weather. Very unhappy with my $36,000 car with less than 17,000 miles on it.

Now that it is colder out, my car has gone from overheating to misfiring from the defective cac/torque converter in this car. I've noticed that the misfiring does not show up on the check engine light or was able to be read by my obd reader. Misfiring can ruin the catalytic converter and cause emission issues. It is illegal in California (where I'm a resident) to not follow the obd ii protocol for reporting emission problems since we have this inspected for registration. When my car has overheated, only Ford was able to pull the code & I also didn't get a check engine light. It's apparent now that Ford has rigged the obd in this car so that only they can retrieve codes. Misfiring is easy for you to replicate to verify my statement. Unplug one cylinder, start the car, see if you get a flashing check engine light and a p030x code.

My car is still overheating after bringing it into the dealer 6 times. They have done the recall fix twice now. There appears to be smoke coming out of my hood now with a burnt smell. The burning and coolant smell is triggering my asthma while driving.

My car has overheated twice after the recall fix. My coolant was violently boiling over. My transmission is also grossly shifting incorrectly. I almost got hit by another car when I was trying to merge onto the freeway since it wasn't going to the next gear. The transmission redlined and then shifted. I checked my obt and I'm not getting any codes for these problems. I'm not sure what to do anymore since anytime I've brought my car in they haven't found any issues. I've brought my car in several times about the engine and transmission and no issues have been found. I drive through the santa cruz mountains every week and I'm afraid one day my engine will catch on fire (hilly roads and low speeds cause the engine to run hot). It would be disastrous for the state of California if a wildfire was started due to this car.

I bought a 2013 Ford Escape new in Nov of 2012. This is an unsafe car. Every summer in las vegas where I live the car overheats and I loose engine power. This is a very dangerous situation especially for me as I am 71 years old. I have brought the car back to the dealer many times to correct the problem and they have been unable or unwilling to fix it.

My car keeps overheating. Here are some videos. . Read more...

I had gone of the gas, the vehicle was rolling at about 5miles/h, engine running, towards an intersection when the light turned green and I wanted to accelerate. I stepped on the gas, there was no acceleration, the engine stalled and completely shut off. All engine lights came on similar to when you initially insert the key before starting the car. The Escape came to a complete stop at the side of the road. There were no warning lights present, the vehicle was not overheating, it had been serviced and had no prior issues. After putting it back into park I was then able to restart the vehicle without any issues and continue driving. This first happened in January and has since occurred twice again in similar situations, slow rolling and then stalling after an attempt to accelerate.
