Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING DOWN, (FOR EXAMPLE: GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE ON THE OFFRAMP) THE ESCAPE WILL STALL OUT AND THE ENGINE WILL STOP. IT WILL START AGAIN, BUT WILL STALL OUT WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME. MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPEAT THE ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2004 ESCAPE DUE TO THIS EXACT MISTAKE, BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX MINE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. *JS
