2008-2012 Ford Escape: 2009 Ford Escape windshield washer not spraying?

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 16:43:12 -0700

My 2009 Ford Escape windshield washer front and back stopped working at the same time a few months ago. I haven't had a chance to look at it until last night. The reservoir is filled to the max line. There hasn't been any leakage. I tested the pumps by having the hood open, windows down, and ran the motors. I know they work because they are on the same circuit as the wipers. The wipers work, but no fluid in front or back come out? Would this be a clogged pump, reservoir dirty, or clogged lines? Thanks.

2008-2012 Ford Escape: My engine shuts off sometimes when I’m slowing down.

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 11:14:06 -0700

I have a 2010 Ford Escape XLT. In the next couple of days after I put gas in my tank, my engine will shut off as I’m slowing down. As I apply the breaks (sometimes not always) my battery light will turn on followed by the oil light, then the engine will shut off entirely. When I turn the car off then on again it will start up like normal. My mechanic has had my car for days and can’t get it to shut down as I experience it to. The alternator is brand new so thats not an issue, I’m frustrated because we can’t quite figure out what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this?

2001-2007 Ford Escape: Rattle sound when car is turned on

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 20:29:04 -0700

I have an 01 Ford Escape, and recently whenever i turn the suv on after having it on for a few hours, i hear a rattling sound (kind of like something is shaking) which lasts for about 15 seconds. This sound is not there when the car is turned on an off without cooling. It might be coming from under the car, because it doesnt sound like its from the engine. any ideas? (car runs perfectly otherwise)

2001-2007 Ford Escape: Moaning sound coming from the steering area?Tierods & Struts OK.Cause?

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 04:51:39 -0700

I am getting a moaning sound from the steering undercarage. I am unable to discern the location. The tierods, inner and outer appear good. I replaced the struts and strut bearings and still have the sound. The sound seems to increase or be most noticeable when the car sits a while with the engine running on a HOT day? With a cold engine the noise not noticeable.

Thanks for any help.
