Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | Mar 18, 2013
Reported on Mar 18, 2013
| MY 2011 ESCAPE CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A RIGHT ON RED, WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WERE BOTH ILLUMINATED AFTER IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE STARTED PROPERLY AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. FORD MUST ADDRESS THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM WITH IT'S ENGINE DESIGN. *TR | |
