Ford Escape Power Train Safety Report | Sept 17, 2013
Reported on Sept 17, 2013
| WITHIN JUST 3 WEEKS OF PURCHASING OUR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2013 ESCAPE TITANIUM (16K MILES), THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND I AM BACK ON THE ROAD. NOW 2 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE, IT HAS STALLED LIKE THIS 7 TIMES. A FEW TIMES, WE HAVE GOTTEN THE ENGINE FAULT TAKE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE MESSAGE WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH THE DAYS OF THE STALLS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLES COMPUTER IS NOT STORING ANY CODES TO IDENTIFY THE FAILURE. TECHNICIANS HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY WITH A LAPTOP CONSTANTLY DIAGNOSING SEARCHING FOR ISSUES. NOTHING. THIS IS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS POSSIBLE IN A NEW VEHICLE, LET ALONE THAT IT CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED! I AM VERY WORRIED AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE THAT IT MAY JUST BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT STALLS IN BUSY TRAFFIC. *JS | |
