2006 Ford Escape Engine Problems

“My engine seized, there were no warning lights(oil, check engine, temp) nothing. My mechanic said that there was no oil in the car. But there was no odor of burning oil. My car had less than90 thousand miles on it and it was well maintained . What can I do?”

“I was sitting at a drive through and vehicle started sputtering. Had to keep foot on gas to keep the vehicle running. When I went to pull out on the street, the vehicle stalled out. After 4 or 5 attempts at restarting, it started about 20 min later.”

“I always kept the scheduled maintenance on my 2006 Ford Escape (85,000 miles). On christmas day 2013 my husband and I checked all of the car's fluids. Everything was fine. One week later as we exited the freeway, the car suddenly started to shake, loose power and make a very loud clattering noise. The oil sensor never went off and the engine light did not turn on until a few blocks later. Thankfully, we were able to make it home. I took the car in to our regular mechanics. …”

I get to the shoulder and put it in park. As I try to start the vehicle again the engine/motor starts shaking yet again with a loud knocking noise and wont turn over. I had to get my car towed. My children were extremely scared and being on the freeway this issue is very dangerous and has been complained about multiple times.”

“My family was driving out of town on the freeway. We were driving up a small incline and the engine shut down. We lost all power in a matter of seconds. We were almost hit by several other vehicles because we were unable to properly remove the vehicle from the road (lost power so quickly). We had the vehicle towed to a local dealership where they advised us that the engine shut down because it was going to throw a rod. We have done all scheduled maintenance on the vehicle. …”
