NHTSA Complaint #10524847 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

DRIVING ON I-95 NORTH....AT 60 MPH....WHEN THE ENGINE ALMOST COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 5-7MPH...AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ENGINE BEGAN ROUGH SURGING. I BARELY MISSED BEING HIT BY A LARGE SEMI TRUCK AS I INCHED THE CAR OVER TO THE CURB. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE EXPRESSWAY (GOING ABOUT 5 MPH) AT THE NEXT EXIT AND THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT ALSO APPEARED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF .I CALLED MY HUSBAND, WHO TOLD ME TO SEE IF I COULD RESTART THE CAR AFTER 15 MINUTES. IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR WORKED OKAY FOR 3 MORE WEEKS AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN .....AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME, I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND WILL NO LONGER USE IT. *TR
