THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY- AND I NOTICED A SLOW DRIP NEAR MY TIRE. THERE WAS A VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I CALLED A FRIEND TO BRING COOLANT AND AFTER ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO COOL DOWN, ADDED ENOUGH TO GET ME HOME. NOT EVEN THREE MILES AWAY, AND IT'S ALREADY EMPTY AGAIN. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL SPECIFIC TO THIS PROBLEM ON 2013'S BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED ASAP BEFORE MORE FORDS OVERHEAT AND POTENTIALLY CATCH ON FIRE!! THERE ARE BARELY 35,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING 35 AND UNDER ON CITY STREETS FOR NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

FUEL PUMP SENSOR NOT WORKING RIGHT. NOT LETTING ENOUGH AIR IN. MAKING THE CAR STALL WHEN IN DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER TO RESTART. OTHER VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION WHILE IT STALLED AND PUSHED TO A SAFE LOCATION. ONCE TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE FUEL PUMP BEING THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL OF OTHER 2014 FORD ESCAPE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO EXPANDING THE RECALL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGER TO PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLES.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IT STALLED ONCE WHILE I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPACE. MY FOOD WAS ON THE BRAKE AT THAT TIME. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. THERE WERE NO ALERT LIGHTS ON PRIOR TO STALLING. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. AGAIN, THERE WAS PLENTY OF GASS IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS SAFELY ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN WITHOUT DIFFICULTY AND NO PROBLEMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE HOME.
