CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Ford Escape has an acceptable complaint history so far, with leaking rear window problems showing up as the main concern so far. NHTSA complaint data shows an early pattern of problems with stalling while driving.
I was driving 60 mph down a highway and all of a sudden lost power and my truck was sputtering, kicking in some power, then losing power, when I gave it gas it would rev but nothing would happen and would try to kick back in however, to no avail. This left me stranded on the side of the road in 80 degree heat - I could not leave it run to get the AC because it was also sputtering and would not stay on. I ended up getting towed into the the service center (another $100) where they found the Mass Airflow Sensor was bad. I had it replaced for $480.00 and it left me stranded again this week. (I will add another complaint on being stranded again). At this point the computer said it was again a MAF problem.
