2024 Ford Escape Engine Problems

Your car stalls and loses power when you're pulling into an intersection, which has nearly caused several accidents. This happens daily, even though the dealership can't find any diagnostic codes or warning lights. You may experience this issue repeatedly without warning when accelerating from a stop.

Your engine keeps shutting off unexpectedly, and this has been happening for several months even after multiple dealership visits. The stalling has occurred at least 5 times since your last service appointment, including twice today and several times while driving on the interstate. The dealership will likely need to perform a comprehensive engine diagnostic to identify the root cause, which could involve checking fuel delivery, ignition timing, or engine control module issues.

Your 2024 Ford Escape has a documented defect in the engine system that has caused chemical residue to enter the cabin, potentially affecting occupant health during operation. An authorized Ford dealership has confirmed the presence of this defect but stated they have no established repair or decontamination procedure. Despite these health concerns, Ford has indicated the vehicle is safe to drive, but you believe it remains a safety hazard. Resolving this issue will likely require Ford to develop and implement a decontamination or engine component replacement procedure.

Your car's dashboard warned you about overheating and you had to pull over on a highway, which created a safety hazard. When you checked the engine code with a diagnostic reader, it showed your cylinder head was overheating. Ford has a known service procedure (SSM 52219) for this issue that may involve cleaning metal debris from the cylinder head or replacing it entirely.
