Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD ESCAPE XLT WITH APPROX. 54,000 MILES. NEAR THE END OF MY 45 MINUTE MORNING COMMUTE, AS I WAS SLOWING TO GO THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY VEHICLE STALLED AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITIES. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED - THE FIRST WAS SHORTLY AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR (IN EARLY 2002). I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS 'FALSE' WARNING LIGHTS THAT THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE.
