Ford Escape Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Oct 25, 2013
Reported on Oct 25, 2013
| THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOSE GAS POWER, BUT MY BRAKES AND STEERING STILL WORKS FINE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP I CAN FEEL MY CAR/ ENGINE MAKING A JERKING THUDDING NOISE/ MOTION. I THEN TURN MY CAR OFF AND TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION FOR THE A COUPLE OF MINUTES. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT I OUT MY KEY BACK IN AND TRY TO START IT. BUT THE CAR HESITATES TO START, IT CRANKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN EVENTUALLY TURNS OVER AND STARTS. WHEN I BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN AFTER THE INCIDENT I CAN FEEL THAT MY CAR IS NOT DRIVING THE SAME. BOTH TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPEEDS. *TR | |
