Ford Escape Unknown Or Other Safety Report | Apr 11, 2013
Reported on Apr 11, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD GOING APPROX. 50MPH, I SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, IT WOULD TEND TO LUNGE FORWARD. ONCE STOPPED, I PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE THE ATTEMPTED TO START UP AGAIN. IT DID START UP, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES LATER THAT DAY. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC....COULD BE DEADLY!!! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT AS I HAVE NOW READ FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING. THE NEXT OCCURRENCE COULD BE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I SHOULD NOTE THAT AS OF 1 WEEK LATER, I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED YET AND THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 TIMES PER DAY NOW. *TR | |
