| 2001 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000. UPDATED 09/19/12*LJ UPDATED 09/19/2012 *JS |
| 2007 | ENGINE | HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 4 HOURS AT 70 MPH, GOT OFF INTERSTATE TO USE RESTROOM AND WHILE EXITING; WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. VEHICLE PLACED IN PARK, RESTARTED, PLACED IN DRIVE AND AGAIN IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND I WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME. FORD DEALER SAID IT WAS COMPUTER AND UPDATED SOME THINGS AND IT WORKED FINE FOR 2 MONTHS. AGAIN ON 10/13/12 WAS GETTING OFF EXIT NEAR HOME AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. SAME THING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO FORD DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE "TORQUE CONVERTER" LOCKING UP. AFTER VEHICLE SAT FOR A WEEK; IT IS NOW DRIVABLE AGAIN BUT STILL NEEDS TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION TOO DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY JUST LYING AROUND. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM PRIOR YEARS PAST BUT OBVIOUSLY FORD HAS NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON VEHICLE WHILE I HAVE OWNED IT FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS; IF FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND ACTUALLY SENDS OUT "SERVICE BULLETINS" ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND TELLS DEALERS EXACTLY HOW TO FIX IT THEN THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. PLEASE HELP. *TR |
