Jerks while driving SolvedSolved

Ford Escape 2004  180000 miles
I have a Ford Escape 3.0 v6 2004 and my problem is that, at idle speed, the engine trembles as with small jerks and the battery dashboard light flikers when a failure is presented. The jerks appear when driving at a speed of around 40-45 mph. I've already changed the alternator, spark plugs, checked the ignition coil and cleaned the injectors. What might be happening? Thanks for your help.

The problem has been solved. The vehicle was scanned and code errors P0316 and P0306 appeared, indicating a misfire in the cylinder 6. This cylinder's coil was failing, so it was replaced and the original problem disappeared. The engine is now working perfectly.

Hill start assist not available abs and traction control light on

Ford Escape 2015 Se 136000 miles
Car runs and drives great. Not had any problems till now. The obd port doesn't work. So I can't have the system checked. But I have changed the breaks and abs sensors. And still the same problem.

My BlueDriver claims that both rear wheel speed sensors have wrong part installed. I've read that i need to remove and clean, cross reference part numbers that are etched on them, also check wiring and anything else related to them. I haven't attempted this yet. First, i need to fix the battery drain issue and then emissions issues, then the abs will get its turn.

No horn, and airbag light randomly lights up

Ford Escape 2004 Column shift, roughly 27000 ks on clock  27000 miles
I bought my car off facebook, 4 months ago, didn't see, hear or find anything wrong with it until a month ago I went to use my horn and it didn't work,
The other day the airbag light started flashing and now it comes nd goes randomly... also when I press on the horn the whole thing caves in then pops out, does this mean my car has no airbags? And is that the reason I have no horn?

Cylinder 5 severe misfire

Ford Escape 2012 Escape limited  300000 miles
I noticed after removing the battery briefly and putting it back in, every time I would have stalling issues. This happened on several occasions and then eventually smoothed out so I didn’t think anything about it. Recently the engine light started flashing so I pulled over and scanned it. The scan turned up a cylinder 5 severe misfire. Replaced addition, coils and spark plugs, but noticed that it smells heavily of gasoline when running and they notice an excessive amount of gasoline in cylinder number five when I replaced the intake manifold after changing, spark plugs and coils. I am kind of stumped as to what this could be. Any pointers or advice would be helpful

Car needs jumped

Ford Escape 2020 Escape sport 290000 miles
My escape wont start if its sat all night. If driven everyday starts fine but hit or miss will have no power steering or dash lights or radio or windows. These happen separately or all together. If driven a long time or distance acceleration is sloppy until get past first gear. Then the headlights go out and a little later dies. Wont jumpstart until the next day and good for a little while then starts all over again
