Jerks when accelerating SolvedSolved

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.

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.

Ford Escape 2005 4x4 V6 Ford Escape  196000 miles
My Escape died, had it towed, was diagnosed as an airflow sensor. Had it replaced and drove it home. It stalled on the way home at light, restarted, revved engine and it ran great. Get in next am and it started , idled fine, put in drive and it stalls, restarted, revved engine and it ran fine again, same thing this am. What the heck?

Update, took it into a Ford dealership to have a diagnostic scan done. 2 hours later, turns out my mechanic put in an after market airflow sensor, it ran bad codes. Cleaned and put old sensor back in, cleaned idle controll valve and updated codes. Runs great.

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.

Electrical, random no start trans position sensor low voltage

Ford Escape 2013 Se 2.0 4x4 220000 miles
Was driving and car shut off. Tried plugging in scanner and it had power but wouldn’t communicate. Ecm relay was clicking multiple times. Towed to shop. They replaced fuse box and now it will operate normal most of the time. There is a code for transmission range sensor that’s located internally. Opened up trans and replaced. No change. Car will randomly think it’s in D as soon as you insert the key to start it. Turn key off and on and will usually start. Sometimes have to turn key off and wait for the display to power off and then it will start. Also when shutting engine off it will engage starter for a split second and make contact with fly wheel to abruptly stop the engine.
