Same as everyone else, very dangerous 'stop safely now' in the middle of highway traffic, managed to pull through it all and not die. It was cold and rainy outside while we waited for a tow truck on a narrow roadside. Brought to near by Ford dealership and they 'thought' it might be the DC to DC converter but were not sure about it, so rather than dropping $3 grand on a 'maybe' I got it towed back to my house. Where it now sits and won't start still has the same error message. I feel like it might be something small, other people have said they changed the DC to DC converter and its usually not the problem.
Open door warnings are constant when doors are not ajar and car is in motion. Dealer could not find the cause of this constant annoyance. This happens within minutes of the car being started.
Picked up my car from dealership, (recalled) electronic coolant pump replaced. Having dealt with the "stall-like condition" described in the safety recall notice 14s19 / NHTSA recall 14v-526, I was expecting the newly installed water pump to affect my car's recent performance. Fifteen minutes from the dealership, going 65 mph on the freeway, the pull over safely now message flashed. And then my car stalled. Makes me wonder if the safety recall listed the wrong replacement part.
I was driving along a fairly busy highway in pennsylvania. The engine all of sudden stopped and this is very dangerous in busy traffic. Luckily we were able to pull over and waited for the car to cool. It restarted and then again did the same thing several miles down the road. This happened again on 19 July 2014 along small town road not far from home. The car was barely warm. We had replaced the battery pack air filter on 17 July 2014, thinking that this may have caused the problem. There is 'stop safely now 'message that appears just before it suddenly stops. This is a very dangerous situation, I can't believe that someone has not done a recall on this.
On a trip from cincinnati OH to bloomington in, roughly 140 miles, the check engine light came on several times with no apparent driveability issues. The return trip a few hours later, however, on a busy highway at 75 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power showing the message "pull over safely immediately". It was difficult to navigate to the shoulder without power, and very frightening. After a few minutes I was able to start and run the vehicle again for about 10 minutes before experiencing the power loss again. After a tow and oil change I was sent on my way only to have the same issue again several times before getting another tow all the way home. This has happened several times since, only at highway speeds, always dangerous and scary. The dealer is replacing the merc pump and a couple other items for a cost of over 1200. 00. This should be a recall issue--so many complaints already lodged and such a dangerous situation.
2007 Ford escape engine will cut off and tell me to pull over safe. Has happen down freeway, stop sign, and leave in stop light in middle of road. This is very unsafe. Called dealership and they said are 07 Ford escape does not qualify for the recall.
Without warning, the engine and motor stopped upon accelerating after right turn, with warning message and many lights displayed. After rolling to a stop at the side of the road, and waiting 5 to 10 minutes, the car started and drove normally. This has occurred a number of times since then, on surface streets and expressways. The loss of power is accompanied by loss of power steering, of course, and creates a dangerous situation.
