2007 Ford Escape Hybrid Fuel system Problems

“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.”

“While traveling on an interstate highway, the vehicle displayed stop safely now message along with an audible chime and a red triangle with exclamation point symbol. The gas engine shut down and the vehicle lost power coasting from highway speed to around 35 MPH. The vehicle remained under hybrid electric power allowing me to move to the side of the road.

The dealership reported that they retrieved error codes p1aod, p0a3e, b139. …”

The warning light remained off and has not come back on again. …”

The return trip a few hours later, however, on a busy highway at 75 MPH the vehicle suddenly lost power showing the message pull over safely immediately . It was difficult to navigate to the shoulder without power, and very frightening. After a few minutes I was able to start and run the vehicle again for about 10 minutes before experiencing the power loss again. …”

“Vehicle displayed service emissions system warning immediately after driving off the lot. After replacement of all emissions parts, vehicle still intermittently displays this warning and occasional stop safely now messages causing the engine to shut down. Vehicle also displays service brake system warnings daily despite having entire breaking system replaced causing failure of ABS breaking system resulting in brake pedal going all the way to the floor and taking a much longer distance to stop while driving. Vehicle surges forward while stopped at traffic lights increasing the risk of a crash. …”
