Consumer Description

2013 FORD ESCAPE 2.0 ECOBOOST STALLED AT A STOP SIGN 8/21/13. THE CAR STEREO SHUT OFF FIRST THEN A OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE ERROR CODES BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS FIXED TOLD US TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE WERE NOT HAPPY. TODAY 9/7/13, THIS TIME THE CAR STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT, BUT THE POWER STAYED ON OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WERE NO RPMS. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. WE STARTED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STALLED A 2ND TIME ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY SAME ISSUE EVERY TIME THE RED OIL LIGHT APPEARS. WE HAVE NO ANSWER TO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.
