I WAS GOING APPROX. 30 - 35 MPH AND MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND SPUTTERING AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS THEN JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH ME ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO A STATION WHERE WE BOUGHT GAS. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP SO WE WENT CONTINUED ON WITH OUR BUSINESS. WE GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I GOT IT ON THE SHOULDER AND IT DIED AGAIN SO WE CALLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. (WHICH CHARGED ME AN ADDITIONAL $200 DEDUCTIBLE ON TOP OF THE COST OF THE WARRANTY) AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR (ONLY A YEAR NEWER) AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER WHILE SHE WAS ON VACATION IN INDIANA. IN RESEARCHING THE INCIDENT WE DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ESCAPE. THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE HAD HER CAR TOWED TO MADE THE STATEMENT THAT HE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR TWO YEARS FOR A RECALL ON THIS PART. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEN WHY HASN'T FORD ISSUED A RECALL (RECALL EVEN A FORD MECHANIC IS WAITING FOR)? IN RESEARCHING WE ALSO DISCOVERED ANOTHER ISSUED WITH THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODING. I DO NOT FEE SAFE DRIVNG MY ESCAPE (WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE). I AM READY TO TRADE IT IN . OH, AND THE MECHANIC ALSO SAID THE PART HE REPLACED WAS THE EXACT SAME PART AS THE ONE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE CAR. WHEN ASKED WHAT IS TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AND HE SAID "NOTHING BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PART". SO, THEY TOOK A DEFAULTED PART OUT AND REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER DEFAULTED PART. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED ON THIS PART. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TT
