NHTSA Complaint #10279537 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN IT WAS AT A STOP OR LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AND CD PLAYER TOO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $2000 AND THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE A/C OR CD PLAYER. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE RESET OR SOMETHING CHEAPER COULD BE DONE AND I WAS TOLD THAT NO. THE GUY THERE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS BUT IT DOES AND HE SAID THAT HE SEES THIS KIND OF SITUATION EVERY TWO MONTHS WITH THE FORD ESCAPES. I THINK THAT IF IT HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TO PAY OVER $2000 TO REPAIR IT, IT IS NOT FAIR FOR US AS CONSUMER BECAUSE I HONESTLY DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO PAY. *TR
