Consumer Description

2008 FORD ESCAPE, BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. DID GET IT MOVED OUT OF WAY OF TRAFFIC. BUT IT WAS DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER. AND, AFTER 7 WEEKS AND FINDING OUT THAT IT IS ACTUALLY A RECALL AND FORD STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES, BUT JUST IF IT HAPPENS TO REPLACE IT. NOT EVERYONE COULD BE SO LUCKY AS ME TO GET OUT OF IMMINENT DANGER! WHEN THIS GOES OUT, THE VEHICLE DIES WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. *TR
