NHTSA Complaint #10437356 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

MY 2005 FORD ESCAPE WAS BOUGHT NEW. THE FIRST SITUATION OCCURRED IN 2007. CAR STARTED MISFIRING ON MAJOR NYC HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR AT NIGHT AND FINALLY STALLED OUT. MADE IT TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK. THAT SITUATION COST ME A NEW COMPUTER COILS AND WHATEVER ELSE WAS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO REPAIR CAR ADDING UP TO 1300. AFTER THAT AND AT THE PRESENT TIME, NOVEMBER 20011 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL STALLINGS ON HIGHWAYS LEAVING ME IN UNSAFE SCENARIOS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE REPLACED COUNTLESS COILS, PLUGS, HAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUES, ALONG WITH ALARM TRIPPING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON AND NOW AFTER A TRIP FROM NY TO VA MY CAR LET ME DOWN AGAIN. DELAYING MY TRAVEL HOME AND HAVING TO STAY IN VA FOR REPAIR FINDING OUT I NEED ANOTHER COMPUTER. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT AND A MONEY PIT. ATTENTION HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO THIS MATTER AND THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION. FORD HAS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND MOVE IN A DIRECTION TO REMEDY THEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S NOT ONE CAR FAILING ON THE HIGHWAY IT'S MULTIPLE AND THE EVIDENCE IS IN THE REVIEWS. THE CAR HAS 92,000 MILES AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAVE DUMPED INTO IT I SHOULD HAVE A LUXURY AUTOMOBILE SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I CAN NO LONGER PUT UP WITH THIS AND HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ESCAPE FROM MY FORD ESCAPE. IT'S NOT SAFE! AND I DEMAND ACTION BE TAKEN AND WANT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND CONTACTED. *TR
