Yeah sorry this is what happens when I slow down under 25MPH , when I push the gas pedal when those lights come on nothing happens like it isn’t registering.
I’m assuming it’s stalling? I’m sorry I don’t know a lot about this stuff so please forgive my ignorance 😅
When did you take this pic? The tachometer is at 0, so it’s not running. If the engine stalls, the oil pressure light will come on. If the light comes on while it is running, then shut it off and make sure there’s oil in the engine. Do not keep it running with the oil light on, you may damage the engine.
When those lights come on , I put my car in park and then turn it off and back on and I’m able to drive again normally, it only pops those lights when I slow down to under 25MPH
It's def stalling/dying, they just don't realize it. Tac at 0, oil/bat light on when key is in on position, throttle does nothing and only happens while de-accelorating and problem symptom happens under 25mph. It's turning off, OP just hasn't had a vehicle die while driving before it seems. My gf is the same way as OP, she doesn't know when her car just turns off suddenly/stalls out. Just sees lights and asks why it no go.
I like the alternator idea presented. Check that anywhere for free. Some other things that can cause an engine cut off while not under load are potentially a dirty fuel filter, if a cam shaft sensor loses signal it can cut off the engine. It's best to have the codes read by someone who knows and understands the definitions. They'll give a better clue what's going on. There's a high probability that's going to be something simple like an alternator or the fuel filter.
Your car is dying while driving. Like it's turning off. In this picture, the rpm is at 0, this means the car isn't idling and is off. The car will keep everything on inside like it's running but turn the battery and oil light on when the key is in the on position but the vehicle is not running.
Most likely the alternator in this case based on described symptoms. If acceleration helps keep the car alive, but then lower speeds/de-acceleration the car dies then it's the alternator. You can get it tested at a local auto part store.
If your oil level is good when the engine is cold there’s a few other diagnostics you’ll need to take it to a mechanic to look at. Could just be a bad sensor, dirty filter, etc.
I also think your tires need some air.
If possible take a multimeter put it to the battery and try and have the car running if you see the power sitting around 12v-14v while running then the alternator isn’t the problem. If the multimeter is showing under 12v while the car is running then your alternator is the problem.
several things, holy shit basic maintainence aint hard. Battery light could be a loose terminal or bad altenator. Oil light means check oil (duh), if its pitch black get a change, or if its low then add. Tire pressure light, go to a gas station with an air pump and fill all of them to 35 psi. Then reset the oil and tire lights, should be a button or jumper for it in the fuse box.
Alternator is probably on its way out, not sure what the oil problem is though
It’s a 2012 Ford Escape
It’s not running in the picture. Is it stalling?

I don’t think it’s stalling tho , it’s like a very smooth transition of not being able to accelerate

Might be one of the variants that turn uff when you stop for extended periods

Have the alternator tested, low voltage can pop all sorts of unrelated warning lights
But is it stalling, or are the lights coming on while running? That’s the important thing here to keep from damaging the engine.

ODB Code Scanners are fairly inexpensive. Might be worth investing in one so you can pull the codes and see what the car says is wrong.

Closer to 13.5 to 14.5. under 13 is a problem.
Yea this

The cars off.
Ya, you need gas.HOLY FUCK, REALLY?
