Exhaust leaking
Ford Escape 2020 104000 miles
Strong smell of exhaust fumes when the air or heat is on. I have had it looked at by a friend and he tightened a few different spots and it helped briefly. Not sure why it came back so soon. I was told everything looked good with the exhaust. Has anyone else had this problem?

Jerks when accelerating 
Solved
Ford Escape 2003 135000 miles
After a service was done to my car, it jerks when accelerating considerably. Every time it does so, the alternator light appears in the dashboard but it has no charging issues. The scanner registers a crankshaft's sensor failure. I've disconnected the exhaust, cleaned injectors, checked coils and hoses and even changed spark plugs but the problem is still there. Any help?

I have been told that by changing all the coils the problem should be solved. If the scanner detects which of the cylinders is having a coil failure you can then replace only the damaged ones. Tell me if I could help you please.
I personally believe that your problem is that your car has not been washed with a carburetor cleaner when the tune was made.
Best answer (according to Rissa)
I had your same problem and the cause ended up being an ignition coil. Once it was detected which was the damaged coil with the code errors in the dashboard, it was replaced and the problem was solved.

CommentToo much antifreeze
Ford Escape 2015 115000 miles
It consumes too much antifreeze, it does not emit steam through the exhaust pipe, it seems to be a leak, but it is not visible to the naked eye, the head cover was once changed, it had cracked due to overheating, this after 9 years of operation, now I cannot find the fault with this excessive consumption, help!

CommentEngine failure
Ford Escape 2007 200000 miles
I own a Ford Escape 2007, 3.0 engine and it is presenting an engine failure, a kind of trembling as though electrical current could not reach it. This trembling gets worse when it is stopped or as I drive along an uphill road, when above the 4000 rpm. Coils have been checked and no failure was found. I was told the cause can either be the injectors or the catalytic converters, what do you think?

CommentHeadlights flickering
Ford Escape 2003 3 liter 250000 miles
Headlights flicker when car is running. Checked grounds, they are good. New battery. Alternator is good too.. this is most annoying. Also had the 2 little hoses that connect to the exhaust tube blow off, EGR pressure sensor landed on the exhaust tube and melting it, EGR valve blew a chunk out the side of it, ordered new one of those and rhe EGR solenoid as it too melted and landed on the exhaust tube.. why would this all have happened? Could be clogged up CATS? I did get some Cata-Clean.. will put this all together and see if they blow off again.. just looking for some input, if anyone has any it would be appreciated. Thanks
