Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | Dec 24, 2013
Reported on Dec 24, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I GOT TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT AND ALL SEEMED OK. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 6-7 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE A REPEAT OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED. I AGAIN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING, I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 6-7 MILES AND HAD THE CAR AGAIN GO INTO LIMP MODE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND HAVE STAYED OFF SINCE THEN. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT ON JAN 2, 2014. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT VERY CLOSELY BY THE NHTSA. | |
