Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | June 21, 2013
Reported on June 21, 2013
| PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND APPEARS TO BE MORE FREQUENT. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BECK UP IT HESITATED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF, AND WORKED FINE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER. NOW I NOTICED THAT THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES QUITE A BIT WHEN I START THE CAR AND THEN AGAIN WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. TODAY, I WAS DRIVING WITH NO PROBLEM AND STOPPED BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT ME WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTINUE DRIVING, MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THERE WERE A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED. *TR | |
