Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY 2002 FORD ESCAPE HAS STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLED I LOST THE POWER STEERING CAPABLILITES, BUT WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT. THIS MATTER NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION BEFORE INJURIES OR FATALITIES ARE REPORTED. I HAD HEARD NUMBEROUS COMPLAINTS BEING FILED WITH THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLY TO BE TOLD FORD IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. *AK
