2013 Ford Escape FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

On Tuesday July 30,2024 I started to notice the smell of gasoline inside my car, did not drive for 2 days, then on August 3rd the fumes were so strong they were making me sick. Parked car and called dealership Monday morning July 5. Not able to take me in until August 15, 2024. There were no warning lights on dashboard just the smell of gasoline, This problem could start a fire under the hood, hope to get it to dealership and they can resolve the problem.0

Praise God no incident at this time. But I've had a Ford mechanic look at the codes my Escape is giving, has seen how it drives and told me the CVP is stuck. This is the exact same issue as for the Fuel Tank Deformation recall Ford currently has out. Because I could not afford the repair I'm driving on a wing and a prayer. But now I see that my vehicle should be included in that recall and doing what I can to make that known and heard.

In 2019 Ford replaced my "entire fuel line" due to a recall. Yesterday I found out why my car started to smell like gas, there's a pinhole size leak in my fuel line. Mechanic said it's not rubbing on anything and it's protected by the undercover piece and there would be no way for flying debri or anything to damage it. How did the recalled fuel line last longer than the replacement fuel line?!

While getting gas the other day , when I put the fuel in my car the nozzle into the gas tank a hissing sound came out of it out of the gas tank and it smelled like gas really bad, then I ran a code thing on my car said can't un able to bleed up fuel tank , I don't know why then after I got the gas when pulling the nozzle out it did it again , then my car would not start ,

There is a defective fuel line that is rapidly leaking fuel and is a fire hazard. I found out that this part was recalled leading up to July 2012. My vehicle vas built in August of 2012 and it is the exact same part. The recall on the earlier models is 12S35. It's the exact part and issue in the later models, yet hasn't been recalled

The smell of gas is overwhelming. It reeks of gas and there was a recall on the 2013 Ford Escape for this reason, yet this vehicle isn’t associated with the recall. No mechanic will look at it due to the strong emission of gas.

This is the 1.6l engine it has a main fuel line problem in the engine area that is leaking fuel. I see recall but FORD says my car not affected in recall. See below Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured from October 5, 2011, through July 11, 2012, and equipped with a 1.6L engine. These vehicles have an engine compartment fuel line which may split, resulting in a leak. Manufactured between: 1/1/1900-1/1/1900 Manufacturer: FORD MOTOR COMPANY Recalled on: 7/19/2012 Vehicle: 2013 FORD ESCAPE

My 2013 has developed a gas leak. It is a small leak and shooting gasoline in the engine. It looks like there was a recall on some vehicles in this make/model and year but mine did not qualify. The recall number is 13S12. I would like for it to be included since it is a known issue in other vehicles in that same time frame. My car is not safe to drive as the gasoline in the hot engine could catch on fire.

While accelerating the car repeatedly hesitates, but keeps on going. It is like a hiccup, never stopping. Called the dealer he wanted to charge me for a diagnosis and could not promise me that my care would be serviced in a timely manner. (this was not the dealer I purchased the car from)It was one closer to my home. I have a warranty from the Purchasing Dealer. I purchased the car on 8/2/2022.

The coolant system is plugged somewhere causing it to not drain properly into all components and me having to fill my coolant tank every other week.

I noticed the smell of gas when I parked one night. The next day after I drove it the smell of gas was very strong. I stopped the car and checked under the hood. The fuel line that connected to the fuel rail was leaking gas onto the engine. I consider myself lucky that it did not catch on fire. Ford did a recall for this years ago from what I have learned from the internet, but for some reason mine was not recalled. I have ordered the new fuel line and waiting for it to arrive. I have removed the leaking fuel line and have it if you would like to examine it.

When driving it makes farting noises and when you make a stop the rpm’s go up and down causing it to jump forward then will shut off and not start. If you open gas tank up and allow it to “fart” it will then start up and you can proceed to destination. Also if you shut car off while getting gas it might have you there for 10 minutes trying to start it but if you leave it on while pumping(which is not safe) it is fine. Talked with several Escape owners and all say they have same issues…so not sure why there hasn’t been a safety recall on it.

My car just cut off while I was driving. The car cranks but do not start. I’ve been told it the fuel pump and I just got this car a year ago and barely drive it. It’s dangerous that it just cut off while I was driving in the middle of the street and could’ve caused a bad accident

When I fuel up my 2013 Ford Escape Se it doesn’t want to start And the oil light and battery light flash on the display and to get the car to start I have to turn the key and keep pumping on the gas pedal then it eventually will start, but this happens every time I put gas in the vehicle. Called Ford and there isn’t a recall on this.

I purchased my 2013 ford escape vehical in febuary 2022 from a local transmission shop, so iv've had it for a good 7 months and its has been nothing but problem after problem with this vehical, the first issue i noticed was the brake fluid leak and i was having to coonstatly refil it until i was able to pay someone to repair it for me. Also My coolant is needing to be filled up about every 2 weeks, and i have to constantly check it just to be sure because sometimes the light wont even pop up. The most recent issue that im having is a huge fuel leak, it just started about 4 days ago and its spraying out of a metal fule line by the engine, after doing some research its a recall for the year and make of my vehical, i called ford in to get information on what i could do and they bassicallly said they wouldnt repair it since my vin number is not linked with that specific recal. I'm a single mother of a 2 year old and this is my only source of transportation, i do not have the funds to repair this and i do believe alot of the issues are recalls and should be fixed and covered by ford.

The vehicle stalled in the middle of the road on 5/24/2022. My husband was able to restart the vehicle and get it home and it stalled again in the driveway. There were no warning lights but the gas gauge was moving up and down. The car smelled of gasoline and there was smoke coming from the hood/ engine. We had it towed and the repair center told us that the gas line had split and was leaking gas. I called Ford and they confirmed my vehicle was not apart of the gas line recall but I would like to report it to see if I can get it on the recall list to get it repared.

The fuel wiring harness has exposed wires that are making the car miss and stall.

DANGEROUS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THIS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO PULL OVER, STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. FREQUENTLY ONCE IT STALLS, IT IS NOT SAFE TO PULL BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT USUALLY STALLS AGAIN. I REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALLS AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS.

I purchased the car on June 09/2021 After taking the car home I noticed a severe lack of power at times when acceleration is crucial in order to navigate safely, such as when approaching an expressway ramp after having been at the light that controls access at the nearby intersection. Traffic moves quickly after lights change, and when I went to blend in from the merge lane, the car was inresponsive, the accelerator hit a dead spot that sent the engine spinning into very high rpms suddenly..5000 rpms The car became an obstacle and other drivers had to swerve to avoid an accident. All in the car were startled and I was upset because of the near collision. The usual sluggish engine response suddenly became dangerous. This car has 2 codes in the computer unit which are identified by these Codes..P0299-00 and P26AC-00 They only show if vehicle is hooked to a scanner and No Check Engine Light has been activated. My mechanic found them. The dealer refuses to admit theres any problem and FORD MOTOR has no recall for this issue. This car is available for inspection upon request.

THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE UNDER THE HOOD TO THE FUEL RAIL HAD A PINHOLE IN IT AND WAS SPRAYING FUEL DUE TO A WIRING HARNESS RUBBING THROUGH IT.

Fuel line started leaking at damper, personal mechanic pulled part and notified me that part was apart of recall. Damper part #: 120620A. 610732. Are all of the numbers on the damper. I git the part replaced at the personal cost of $180.04 on 08/02/2021

A SMELL OF GAS AS DRIVING AND PARKED, TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL LEAK FROM A PIPE IN THE ENGINE BAY, A STEADY HEAVY DRIP WHEN PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF, AWAITING REPAIR

ANY TIME I GET GAS THE CAR DOES NOT START IMMEDIATELY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND DECELERATING IT SHUT OFF ON ME. INITIALLY WAS TOLD IT WAS MY REMOTE START UNTIL I GOT GAS AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT SHUT OFF AND TOOK A MINUTE TO START BACK UP. WHILE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE GAS TANK AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART.

CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL, GENERALLY AFTER STARTING. REGARDLESS OF GIVING IT GAS (PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), IT STALLS. I HAVE HAD BOTH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE (EACH), AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. LOCAL MECHANIC HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD BE CAUSING IT.

AFTER RE-FUELING CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FLICKERS ON AND OFF, STALLS AND SPUTTERS.
