2011 Ford Escape Engine cooling Problems

“I was driving on the interstate with my 3 year old son in the back seat. As I was in traffic all of a sudden I felt a loss of power and the wrench light went on. I was almost hit multiple times, but luckily was able to force it to the side of the road. I sat there for a couple minutes and then started the car normally and drove home. It was a scary experience and one that I hope Ford takes care of.”

“On the 5th day of use of my new vehicle, I was riding at 60 MPH on a rainy day when the air conditioner stop working, my windows start fogging. There was no car light alarms, car temperature normal (no thermostat alarm).

“Check engine light came on and vehicle lost power and died.

Scheduled a repair for 11/14/12 at which time I was informed that there was a default code p1450. Cannister was full of fuel. …”

“Ever since we bought our 2011 Ford Escape (used in fl--had to drive it to wa state due to military pcs army orders) the car has never gotten more than 20 mpg.

Finally stalled on joint base lewis mcchord, wa (where we are stationed and live) and my husband could not get it to start. The check engine light was also then showing. We had it towed to the nearest Ford dealership (lakewood Ford). …”

“Vehicle loses power during operation at various speeds. The engine reverts to idle, revving below 1000rpm. Depressing the gas pedal has no effect on engine RPM or speed. The wrench light comes on, but without any code stored. If the car is turned off and then back on, the engine reluctantly starts, and the problem is not present, but the problem soon appears (within seconds). After several incidents today on my way to the auto shop, the check engine light came on and I was able to get the code: p2111, binding throttle body - stuck open and tacm open or shorted . …”
