| We took our 2007 ford escape (aprox 60,000 miles) on a road trip from omaha ne to st. louis mo on 3/10/13 and arrived with no issues. on our return trip we drove about 100 miles until the car stopped on the interstate. the vehicle completely shut down and all of the warning lights came on at the same time. we were able to coast to the shoulder safely but were unable to restart the vehicle. we had aaa tow the vehicle about 30 miles to the closest town and aaa approved mechanic. when the mechanic looked at the vehicle they determined that the vehicle had burned through all of the oil and was completely empty causing the engine to seize up. there were no warning lights indicating low oil up until this point. i had recently had my oil changed about 8 week and less than 1000 miles prior to this incident and there were no leaks so it seems very improbably that the vehicle would have used 4 qrts of oil in that time. i contacted ford and the vehicle is just out of the warranty period and they are unwilling to assist. in my research it appears that this may be a common occurrence on this vehicle at about 60-70k miles and may warrant additional research. i am currently attempting to get my vehicle transported the 350 miles home to get a second opinion and repaired. the current estimates i received for repair are between $3,500-6,000. http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/escape/2007/engine/engine_failure.shtml | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford escape. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. when the failure occurred, the steering column locked and prevented the contact from controlling the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they repaired the torque converter. the failure recurred several months later. the dealer is currently diagnosing the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. all of the remedies to date have been insufficient in correcting the failure. the failure mileage was 21,731 and current mileage was 22,000. the transmission was jerking and shifting hard. when coming to a stop it made a sound like twisting metal and the brakes popped and jerked, when accelerating in a curve. there was no response from the vehicle when the accelerator was applied. the vehicle also pulled to the left. the consumer also stated the vehicle stalled while driving 70 mph. the overdrive light illuminated for no reason, the automatic door locks did not work properly, they would lock and unlock at will while the consumer was backing up. updated 02/05/09. *jb | |||
