Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 FORD, ESCAPE. THE VEHICLE HAS A CALL BACK FOR THE ABS MODULE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER IN LEBANON, NH. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT DID HAVE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED. IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC AT FLANDERS & PATCH THAT THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED TOO DANGEROUS TO BE PARKED INSIDE OR EVEN UP CLOSE TO A BUILDING AS IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE. HOWEVER, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT FORD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST TWO, MAYBE EVEN THREE MONTHS. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM NOT TO PARK THIS CAR INSIDE A GARAGE OR NEAR MY HOME. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE WE HAD SEVERAL BREAK INS AND NEVER LEFT MY CAR PARKED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT FOR THAT REASON. ALSO, I SHARED A DRIVEWAY, SO PARKING IWAS VERY LIMITED IN MY AREA. AGAIN, LEAVING THE CAR PARKED OUTSIDE WAS A PROBLEM. ALL I ASKED FROM FORD WASTO FIX THE PROBLEM NOW. FORD /NEEDED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED DUE TO THIS FAILURE ON THEIR PART TO FIX THIS. *AK
