2006 Ford Escape Engine problems

The idler pulley on the subject vehicle has failed numerous times, with the mounting bolt shearing at the connection to the timing cover. Upon failure of the pulley the serpentine belt will either fail or become dislodged; when this occurs the steering, alternator, and water pump all stop operating. The vehicle becomes difficult to handle due to the loss of power steering, and is subject to shutting off due to the lack of an alternator and water pump. This particular issue has happened to me on four separate...

My 2006 ford escape was purchased in august of 2005. Four months later, november 2005, I was pulling into a parking slot in front of a restaurant, with my foot on the brake, when it surged ahead, went over a concrete block, took down two poles, and hit another vehicle. At the time I thought it was the brakes, but no one could find anything wrong with the brakes. People said I probably stepped on the accelerator, but I was convinced that I did not. I could not prove anything. July 22, 2018, twelve years later,...

The vehicle hesitates when accelerating after coming from a stop, it is not transmission, it is like it is not getting fuel. The vehicle suddenly without warning or reason shuts off all power while driving. The red triangle with exclamation light comes on with a warning to stop safely now on the dashboard and you are stranded. This has happened both while accelerating from a stop and while driving both freeway and surface street speeds, suddenly. I am afraid not only to not only drive the vehicle but having...

Hybrid mec pump failure: my vehicle had the mec hybrid coolant pump failure that is common to this vehicle. My particular vin # was not included in the large scale recall undertaken by ford. I had the pump replaced by a ford dealer in 2011, and then again in 2012 after a second failure. This cost me over $3000 in total. I do not understand why my car is not covered under the recall. It should be.

While driving, a warning light came on stating " safely pull over and stop now", the vehicle stalled out, no power at all. I pulled over and after a few minutes restart it. Everything sounded fine. I talk to a ford dealer whom seem not to know what caused it. I have an engine code p1a0c (etb), from my actron@ device. I started to have it fixed but I went online and found I'm not the only person with issue and the solutions giving by the dealer's service have been all different I'm not sure if any of them fixed the issue. Some have stated that their vehicle stalled out while on the highway. I'm not sure if it is safe to drive on the highway. *Tr

Engine lost all oil. There is no oil spot on the road no leak detected each oil change at 3k miles. I had gone to lunch, no problem, no noise, no warning lights. I got in the vehicle to go home and heard a loud banging sound. I immediately turned off the vehicle and towed it home. I checked the oil and it was gone. I had just had to have the transmission replaced and within 2 weeks the oil is just gone. There are 36 other reported incidents of oil being lost in the engine and ford will do nothing. The cost...

Our vehicle seemingly randomly shuts off all power to the engine and the electric motor. This can happen while we are moving or stopped in an intersection. We get a message of stop safely now on the dashboard. When you are in the middle of an intersection waiting to turn left in six lanes of traffic and your car stops for no apparent reason this isn't very safe. This has happened about 30 times. Sometimes it goes a year without a mishap or three times in one day.

Driving car and brakes failed completely. Had to jump on the brakes to get any traction whatsoever. Was fortunately able to use the emergency brake before I got into an accident. Yellow abs and red brake lights are on, along with messages of check brake system and regen brakes disabled. Appears to be a common problem with escape hybrid that it is the hydraulic control unit - a part to repair which is more expensive than the car is worth.
