NHTSA Complaint #10232539 — 2008 FORD ESCAPE

ON LEAVING THE LOT A HIGH VIBRATION CAME THRU THE GAS PEDAL AT 1500 RPM'S. I RETURNED BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO LET IT BREAK IN. AFTER 1 MONTH IT DID NOT GO AWAY AND BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE. 1ST ATTEMPT THEY DID NOTHING AND WAS TOLD TO GIVE THEM 2 WEEKS. 2ND ATTEMPT WAS THEN DONE AND THEY RE TIED THE GAS CABLE AND THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. THE GAVE UP AND TOLD ME TO CALL FORD. WITH FORD ON THE 3RD ATTEMPT REPLACED THE SHAFT AND MADE IT WORSE. NOW IT VIBRATE AND HAS A LINGERING BUZZING SENSATION TILL 2000 RPMS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND ARE CLAIMING IT IS NORMAL, WHICH NO OTHER VEHICLE EXCEPT THE FORD ESCAPE HAS WITH THE V6 ENGINE, THE V4 DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENT ON FORUMS WITH THE 2006 ESCAPE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. FORD IS ALSO REFUSING TO FOLLOW THE LEMON LAW BY REFUNDING MY MONEY SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND ARE NOT EVEN OFFERING AN EXCHANGE AS PER LAW.
