Fan runs constantly

The fan runs anytime the car is running, with or without the A/C on.

Thank you. We'll be taking it to another dealer next week.

My 2013 Escape 2.0 turbo charged Titanium does the same thing. When I initially took it into the dealership, they acknowledged something was not right. They had it for 13 days, replaced the body control module, and reprogrammed the whole car. The minute I pulled out of the lot it started up again -- super loud really fast fan noise (that winds down after the car is turned off); I turned around went back and was told it was normal...hmmm...why did you keep my vehicle for 13 days and change the body control module then? I was told that the mechanic working on my car had intimate knowledge of my car, its engine, and the programing and that nothing was wrong with it and there was nothing more they would do it. Fast forward about 1500 miles -- still having the issue but it has never really been the same since I got it back; cannot get MPGs over 18.8 (even with the green flower award) the car idles rough sometimes I think it is going to die out on me, the oil smells strongly of gasoline and the responsiveness is completely missing. Sometimes when pulling out of a stopped position I get no response (that’s right 0) and then all of a sudden the engine revs to like 4K and the car lunges ahead. Back to the dealership, (they kept it for three days and used my full tank of gas to “check it out”) and when I picked it up I was told nothing was wrong. I am so frustrated with the dealership and the car that I could scream -- but that would do me about as much good as taking my car in. Good luck with your fan issue -- if you figure out what it is post back here and share the news.

I have the same problem with my 2013 Escape SEL. I'll be taking it in Monday. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't crazy and that this isn't right.

my 2011 escape having same issue with engine fans running constantly. it is related to the air conditioning unit. i unplugged the air conditioning compressor and the fans quit running. FYI air conditioner compressor also runs when heater selector is in defrost mode. helps dry out the air to defrost window quicker. you can also switch heater control to vent mode and it will stop fans from running.

@roadhogron if my fan is always running like this, and my AC is not working properly (no cold air, checked freon level and it is ok) do you think they could be related?

I believe they are related. Exact same scenario with my 2012 4cyl

Control module problm some times you can fix by programming

I had the same problem with my '17 Escape. Was scheduled to have it looked at in 3 days. I opened the hood and found two air intakes at the top nearest the windshield blocked by leaves and debris. I vacuumed it out with my shop vac and the problem disappeared. I did take it in and the tech said it's possible the system registered a negative air flow causing the fan to run non-stop. We'll see what happens.

I've got the same problem with my Ford escape 2008 ...mechanic has been useless .. now planning to do some serious vacuuming. Obviously a long standing design feature!

This also happened to my 2017 Ford Escape. I went to the local self serve car wash and used their vacuum and vacuumed the two air intakes neatest the windshield. I drive it home, parked it and after a minute, the fan stopped!

Yep, vacuuming the air inlets worked for me too! shame my mechanic didn't know this solution! Seems to be a world wide problem. I am in Australia.
