There are 1 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2024 Ford Escapein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Upon exiting a shopping center parking lot, I turned right onto a street which led up to a 1-lane construction site. I was travelling approximately 15 miles per hour, and drove approximately 50 feet when the car suddenly stalled. No fuel response to gas pedal. It still had momentum, and I was able to steer into a safe side spot. I sat there stunned. The car was still in drive gear. I put it into park and turned the car off. After another 1 or 2 minutes, I turned the car on again, and was able to drive it home another 2 miles. I did not have to drive through the construction zone. Had I been in the one lane construction, I could have been rear-ended because a stopped car would not have been expected by drivers behind me. It could have caused severe injury or even death to myself and/or driver coming behind me. This happened on Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, at about 2:30 pm. BTW, this is a hybrid vehicle.
