The vehicle has completely shut off while driving on several occasions now. The first time it happened we had it towed and ended up replacing the battery. The 2nd time we put it back to park and restarted the vehicle and assumed it was just a fluke.

Car is losiing pressure and seeming like its going to stall while in motion. It just happens randomly. There was a recall on this very problem back in 2015 but the ford dealership says its not covered.

Initially the car would shift hard which then would loose power, hesitate, then stall. After stalling would not start. The problem happens seemingly intermittently.

My ford escape 2015 was stalling only at low speeds diagnostics at the ford dealer showed nothing. Took time to get back to the dealer for second time--the dealer was not honest with us. I took complaints from other escape owners that was having stalling problems.

Coolant leaking into cylinder causing misfire. The reason why the coolant is leaking into the chamber is because of a manufacturers defect. The engine block has impurities that eventually rusted away causing pinholes between the cylinder and coolant. This is a well known issue with mechanics. If someone has this issue and does not know the engine can seize or blow causing the engine to not work. If this happens while on a highway the potential for an accident goes way up. Please make Ford make this right. I have had this defect verified by a certified Ford dealership and two independent mechanics. This is a costly repair due to the entire engine being defective from the bad casting.

I am very angry. I owed this car less than two years and even bought the body wrap and powertrain bumper to bumper warranty yet the purge vale went bad. Ford calls it a valve yet the manufacturer of the part calls it a tube, so the warranty will not cover it.
