Ford Escape Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Oct 15, 2013
Reported on Oct 15, 2013
| WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR SINCE AUGUST OF 2013. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING SLOWING DOWN TO A CRAWL WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES SINCE THAT OCCURRENCE. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES SINCE THAT TIME WITH ABOUT $2000 IN REPAIR BILLS THAT INCLUDED ENGINE WORK, NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR, ETC. THE CAR WAS TOWED EACH TIME TO MONGOS AUTO REPAIR IN CINNAMINSON NJ. ON THIS OCCURRENCE I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS MODEL IS HAVING COMMON PROBLEMS AS PER THE ABOVE AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. MONGOS CHECKED AND THERE WAS A RECALL BY FORD TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD. WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY IF THE CAR HAD 60,000 MILES OR LESS. MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND WAS PUT INTO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO THIS FAULTY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. CAN I CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT NEVER RECEIVING THE RECALL AND GET REIMBURSED FOR THE $2000 IN REPAIRS PLUS THE NEW BILL TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY? *TR | |
