2007 Ford Escape Hybrid Electrical system Problems

“I was driving in san diego county from the city of chula vista to the city of santee on interstate 5 going north at 65 MPH when the Ford Escape Hybrid 2007 suddenly shut off in the middle of the freeway. A message appeared on the dashboard saying, safely pull to the side of the road . Fortunately traffic was not heavy and I was able to coast to the emergency lane until help could arrive. This is very dangerous and something should be done about it.”

“Picked up my car from dealership, (recalled) electronic coolant pump replaced. Having dealt with the stall-like condition described in the safety recall notice 14s19 / NHTSA recall 14v-526, I was expecting the newly installed water pump to affect my car's recent performance. Fifteen minutes from the dealership, going 65 MPH on the freeway, the pull over safely now message flashed. And then my car stalled. Makes me wonder if the safety recall listed the wrong replacement part.”

“Vehicle stalled while my wife and two small kids were driving on the freeway. The stop safely now statement popped up on the display. She managed to pull over to the shoulder and was able to restart the car after 10min. She was able to bring the vehicle home. At home vehicle could not be started at all still with the stop safely now warning on. Towed it to the Ford dealership and got the recommendation of a technician to replace the dc dc converter. I approved the replacement but vehicle still does not want to start. …”

“After driving approximately 10 minutes on the freeway, a stop safely now message came up (without any other warning) and our car started to lose power and speed immediately. I was in the carpool lane and the flow of traffic on the 210 freeway was around 70 MPH. I had to cut across 4 lanes of traffic and was barely able to make it before my car lost power completely. This is the third time this has happened to my husband or I in the past year. (each situation was similar to this one?and equally dangerous especially because there is zero warning). …”

“A b s brakes quit working after a hard stop in a parking lot to avoid hitting another vehicle, after the Ford dealership had the escape for4 months and in constant contact with the manufactor with a result of replacing themaster cylinder, travel sensorand numerous containers of brake fluid they were still unable to get any brakes. At this point the manufactor decided it needed a a b s module, total parts only were totalling over $6000.00. It is a 2007 year model with only 115000 miles ran and look great. After reserch on line I saw I was not the only person with this same issue. …”
