Ford Escape Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Apr 09, 2013
Reported on Apr 09, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND MY GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MY CAR. WHEN I PULLED OVER, MY CAR WAS JUMPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I TOOK IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, GOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 4 TIMES, PAID $80 FOR THEM TO RUN SOME TESTS AND TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP, THE SECOND DEALERSHIP THEN SPECULATED THAT IT WAS MY THROTTLE BODY. WHEN I ASKED THEM TO FIX IT, I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THERE WAS NO TELLING HOW LONG IT WOULD BE BEFORE THEY GOT THE PART IN. SO THEY SENT ME AWAY IN MY BROKEN CAR AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY START OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. IF THAT IS NOT A CLUE TO THE FORD COMPANY THAT THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL, THEN I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS. EVERYONE IS OBVIOUSLY EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS AND IT HAPPENED TO ME 1,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I AM IRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR ## VIN FAILED ## | |
