2017 Ford Escape Cruise Control Problems

My son was driving this car home from school and while going through a busy street, the car suddenly buckled and stalled and he was almost t-boned. Thankfully he was not hit. We later found out that this vehicle was assembled in a plant that has a known line issue with their engine blocks.

2017 Ford Escape SE 4WD with a 4 CLYINDER D 1.5 DI TURBO engine. We purchased this vehicle used, in 2019 with 42,384 miles. We have kept up with all scheduled maintenance through the dealership.

I turned from the parking lot intersection in eagle run shopping center, nw of wendy's, from west to south onto the parking lot road that accesses the w maple rd & birch st intersection. I completed my turn and drove south down the parking lot access road to the w maple & birch st intersection where the traffic light was red. I came to a complete stop to wait for a green light.

When making a left turn into a parking space in a local shopping center my car accelerated on its own, jumped the curb and hit a tree. The car has been at the dealer for almost 2 weeks. No mechanical problems have been found by the service department.

I am writing due to my concern about my 2017 ford escape. I bought the vehicle new in may 2017. Sept 8th ,the engine stopped suddenly when I braked to pull into the parking lot at work..the message on the dash board was : manual start required so I put the car in park and restarted it without difficulty I went to work for the day.

My check engine light came on at 5:30 pm on 8/11 and, when I got home, my husband saw that the car had been leaking oil and I was low on oil despite the fact that I had an oil change one month prior. While I was driving to the dealership at 10:45 am on 8/12, the car was not accelerating normally and the MPG readings were all over the place.

Unintended acceleration when parking at slow speed with eco on. Often seen into garage which is slight incline. Automobile stops moving and any touch of the accelerator causes fast surge requiring very quick braking.

While driving 40 MPH in the city, I felt a jolt, engine was still running, but had zero gas pedal response. RPM slowly bled off as I was able to coast into a parking lot while dodging through traffic. When the jolt was felt, a "check manual" message appeared on the driver's information screen.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated.

I was on the highway doing 70+ and my car overheated and shut off. When I turned it back on the engine light was on and it was shaking like crazy. I took it to the dealership and they told me that it is a known prob and it has a coolant leak into the engine.

I had the cruise on at around 70mph I came up on traffic so I touched the brakes and all of a sudden the engine started revving almost to the red line it was like the transmission dropped down to a lower gear all of a sudden.this has happened to me twice I took it to the dealer and they road tested it on the highway and they said they tried everything they could think of 25 times and couldn't,duplicate it.

While driving on a highway the car began to decelerate and I was unable to accelerate. A warning message came on advising me that the auto start/stop was not working and I must put the car in park and and restart the engine. This occurred while on the highway.
