I purchased a new 2021 Ford Escape PHEV (plug-in Hybrid) in Oct. of 2021. It has 14000 miles on it. I now stalls in the middle of traffic while in EV mode. It's happened 3 times. Once while my wife was driving in the middle of an intersection (blocking traffic, horns honking, etc.). There is a recall for this exact failure on the same year, model, and engine as my vehicle, but they say I don't qualify. The recall code is 21S48. I believe it’s a high cost fix for them, so they're not issuing the recall as they should (e.g. have these vehicles proactively called in for testing and diagnosis before the failure happens). Anyway, I have to wait 3 weeks for a dealership mechanic to even look at it and I have a long drive I must make in less than a week. Needless to say I'm very disappointed in Ford’s quality and support. I'm an electrical engineer (for 35 years), I design high-reliability products and I'm very disappointed in the quality of Ford engineering that missed this breakdown in safe operation. Maybe they're not ready for EV yet. Maybe they need to invest in Hi-Rel design training for their engineers. All I know is I spent $45,000 for a malfunctioning and dangerous Ford vehicle. I’ve only owned it for 18 months, it only has 14,000 miles on it and it feels like a lemon. I should have purchased the Toyota RAV4 Plugin Hybrid! Sorry for the ranting, but I feel indignant and frustrated by this.
This was an incredible presentation! I have a question. I just bought a 2022 hybrid escape and on the display the left side the km is on top and the mph is so small below. Can I switch this?
Great video - helped me to understand some of the features that I, as a senior citizen, didn't grasp. Thank you so much!
Best guide video on 2021 Escapes on youtube. Thank you
So thorough! Thank you for all of the great information!
Wonderful video guide! Thank you!

The designated driver company I work for has a '21 Escape Hybrid, and I can't seem to find where to plug in my 3.5mm audio jack for the life of me!
I am considering this vehicle -I have a couple of more years on my 2021 VW Tiguan SE(lease) and would like this ESCAPE-(lease)🤔. NICE REVIEW
The gas cap thing is because the gas tank is pressured, that's the reason for the release inside.
Strange place for push button start😳

Should be able to switch that in your settings.
@@longmcarthurford I have it set for mph but the display has the km on top and I wasn’t sure if it could be flipped.
@@mariamcdermott6728 I think that is in your display settings
Is Apple CarPlay wireless or wired?
In 2001, it would be wired. Only way to have wireless carplay would be with the updated SYNC 4/4A.
Where is the hood latch on the on the 2020 Escape
See @21:55
How about the back seats.
Plenty of room back there for me and your mom.
I just don’t understand why OEMs haven’t converted to LEDs as standard equipment… I’ll pass….

Terrible video! Skips, jumps, broken dialogue.
@pmurray8065 thanks for the comment. That was filmed in 2021
Time for you to hit the gym, cut back on the beer and soda, and go on a diet buddy.
Thanks for your concern but none of those things sound fun plus the video isn't about me but the vehicle.
@@longmcarthurford But you still need to hit the gym
