VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, BUCKS, JERKS AND SHAKES WHILE ACCELERATING. RPMS RANDOMLY ACCELERATING, NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH POWER TO ALLOW VEHICLE TO GET UP HILL. ENGINE OVERHEATING, ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT FREQUENTLY COMING ON, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING OUT IN HOT/COLD WEATHER FOR A WHILE. MY RADIO HAS COMPLETELY JUST STOPPED WORKING, NO SOUND WHATSOEVER. I HAD HIT A DEER BACK IN MARCH OF 2020, TOOK IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I ASKED IF IT WAS STILL 'SHIFTING HARD.' I ASSUMED SINCE MY COMPUTER TO MY CAR WAS JUST DANGLING AFTER THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG THERE. BUT APPARENTLY THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AS FAR BACK AS 2018. NOW, HERE I AM MONTHS LATER AND AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR. WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN IT, WHICH MAKES IT HARD BEING A SINGLE MOM. TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS EXPLAINING THE SITUATION. EVERYONE MADE ME SEEM CRAZY, IT MAGICALLY DIDN'T DO IT FOR THEM. NOW I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!

WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS AND DEFAULTS TO MANUAL STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND STATIONARY. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY SNAP BACK WHILE HOLDING IT STEERING. THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILS TO WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS WELL. THIS HAS PERIODICALLY BEEN HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH THE DATE LISTED IS TODAY. FORD WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED MY VEHICLE WASN'T MANUFACTURED AT THE SPECIFIC PLANT SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES (EVEN THOUGH IT'S EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUES AS THE RECALL) AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY $1500+ OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

I'VE HAD MY CAR TWO YEARS AND MULTIPLE THINGS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. REGARDLESS, MY MOST RECENT CONCERN IS MY HILL START NOT AVAILABLE LIGHT IS ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I SENT MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THE SASM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS DOES NOT BECOME AN ISSUE UNLESS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOW NOR PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. CAR FAX SHOW NO RECORDS OF ANY DAMAGE TO THE PHYSICAL BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO OTHER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THESE LIGHTS WOULD HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED AND I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY CAR. AGAIN I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT LONGER, IF SOMETHING CAN BE EXPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE AND IT SEEMS EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING IS A RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON NEVER APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. MY FORD STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS AT AN EVENT THAT I MADE IT TO WITH NO ISSUES. IT SAT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE, IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. I SAT IN THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. EVER SINCE THIS, IT HAS BEEN STALLING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND I CAN DRIVE A FEW YARDS AWAY BEFORE IT STALLS AND I AM FORCED TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TRY AGAIN. IT WOULD DO THIS A FEW TIMES THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. ANOTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS SOMETIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING, EVERYTHING WILL SHUT OFF BUT THE VEHICLE WILL KEEP DRIVING. EVERYTHING MEANING: AIR CONDITIONING, ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, TOUCH SCREEN.. ANYTHING THAT IS ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WILL SHUT OFF FOR AROUND FIVE MINUTES OR SO. I KEEP GOING WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY OF THESE THINGS, THEN THEY WILL ALL TURN BACK ON, ON THEIR OWN. THIS HAPPENS VERY RARELY. I HAVE TAKEN MY FORD IN TO GET THESE ISSUES LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THESE WERE RECALLS, PRINTED THE RECALL PAPERWORK OUT, AND TOLD ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, I WAS TOLD THESE ISSUES WERE INDEED RECALLS FOR 2013 FORD ESCAPES BUT "DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE" AND WAS SENT AWAY. NOW, MY FORD RANDOMLY STARTED LEAKING GAS LAST WEEK AFTER ONLY JUST TURNING IT ON WHILE SITTING IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY (DIDN'T DRIVE ANYWHERE). I LOOKED UP "GAS LEAKS IN 2013 FORD ESCAPE" AND ITS A RECALL FOR 1.6-LITER ENGINE, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE BUT WHEN I PUT THE VIN IN THE RECALL WEBSITE IT SAYS "0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS". WHY DO I KEEP HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN RECALL DETAILS FOR 2013 FORD ESCAPE BUT KEEP GETTING TOLD ITS NOT FOR MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE?
