Limp mode no engine check light

Ford Escape 2011 Xlt 170000 miles
Sometimes my vehicle starts to not shake but hesitates going like gallops forward and does not let me go above 20 mph kind of acts like it's in limp mode but there is no engine check light that comes on. I then have to turn it off for like 15 min and once I start it up again most of the time it goes away and drives normal.

Vehicle vibrating and check engine lights on

Ford Escape 2012 2.5 167580 miles
The vehicle vibrates while stopped and sometimes while moving. It's not constant, but it happens about 70% of the time I drive. The check engine light also comes on. I used a cheap scanner and shows this code: P052B

Turbocharger

Ford Escape 2013  60000 miles
My engine light keeps coming on and off. Whenever I run the machine, it says there is a problem with my turbo. We've already replaced the turbo compressor and it helped for 2 weeks and the problem started again. Car cannot stay on while in place for too long or else the engine shuts off. I've gotten stranded a couple of times where I have to wait at least 30 minutes before I can attempt to turn on the car and move again. There's been a couple of times where I've gotten to my destination, car is fine, I go in and out of a store go back to my car and it won't turn on. Engine just turns off. Sometimes having the AC affects it as well.

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
