NHTSA Complaint #10472876 — 2011 FORD ESCAPE

8/18/12 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIST OF TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER MUCH EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO DO SO. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE. IT STARTED UP OKAY AND I PULLED OUT AND STAYED IN THE RIGHT LANE. A FOURTH OF A MILE LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CARS WERE BLOWING THERE HORNS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME IT SCARED HER SO BAD SHE BEGAN TO CRY. WE WERE A GOOD DISTANCE FROM HOME. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK. I'D ONLY HAD IT FOUR MONTHS. IF THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING, WHY HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE? A RECALL MAYBE? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE ?????? *TR *JS
