Consumer Description

THIS FOLLOWING INCIDENT HAPPENED BOTH YESTERDAY AND TODAY. DRIVING AROUND 20 MPH AND SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY DUMPING ME IN "LIMP MODE". TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOTH AUTOZONE AND ANOTHER PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WITH BETTER DIAGNOSTICS, NEITHER COULD PICK UP A DEFECT CODE. RESEARCH ON FORD ESCAPES TODAY, SHOWS THAT THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM. I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HOPING THE NHTSA RECALLS THE ESCAPES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *JB
