| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2010 FORD ESCAPE WITH 47,000 MILES ON IT . ON WEDNESDAY JULY 3 2013 I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM DOING ERRANDS, AND MY FORD ESCAPE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH INFORMING ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST TURNED INTO THE LANE TO MY HOUSE AND WAS NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED US THAT IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. WE CONTACTED FORD CORPORATION AND REPORTED THE ISSUE, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS PART IN THE PAST. FORD GAVE US A CASE NUMBER AND SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE UP TO FOUR DAYS TO DETERMINE IF THEY WILL COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD MY SEVEN YEAR OLD GRANDSON WITH ME THAT DAY, AND ALL I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IS WHAT IF THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH CARS GOING THE SPEED OF 55MPH AND HIGHER. *TR |
| 2013 | SUSPENSION | I WAS DRIVING FOR FIRST TIME AFTER BUYING VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH AND THE REAR OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO BOUNCE PU AND DOWN ABOUT TEN BOUNCES. IT HAPPENED AFTER GOING OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE, BUT NOT A BUMP. IT WAS VERY ODD. I HAD SOME DISCOMFORT IN MY NECK AS A RESULT AND A GENERAL UNEASE OF WONDERING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION AS WELL AS A FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN ALTHOUGH THE EXCESS IN BOUNCINESS AND THE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED AND GIVES ME NECK PAIN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT AND I'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR ONE WEEK. IN MY VIEW, EITHER MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE SUSPENSION IS FAULTY OR THERE IS A GENERAL ISSUE WITH DESIGN OF SUSPENSION. *TR |
