Consumer Description

2006 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID. DRIVING ON HWY 75 SOUTH IN OHIO. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 68 MILES AN HOUR. MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SLOWED ABRUPTLY. THE INFO DISPLAY SAID MAIN ENGINE OVER HEAT SLOW AND CONTINUE TO SAFE STOP. I PULLED OVER AND DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN FOR ABOUT A 1/2 MILE AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME I STARTED UP AGAIN AND DOVE IT ABOUT FIVE MILES BEFORE I SHUT IT DOWN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES.THERE WAS NO SIGNS OR SMELLS OF HOT OVER HEATING ENGINE. I THEN GOT IN A DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 5 MORE HOURS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. MY CONCERN IS THAT I ALL MOST GOT REAR ENDED FROM A SEMI. I HAVE READ OTHER HYBRID FORUMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
