NHTSA Complaint #10565047 — 2012 FORD ESCAPE

IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 9AM AND I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY (BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MIN) AND I TOOK A RIGHT OFF THE EXIT RAMP ONTO A SECONDARY STREET. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 AND STARTING TO SLOW DOWN FOR A YELLOW LIGHT, WHEN THE CAR JUST DIED. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS (THAT I REMEMBERED, BECAUSE I PANICKED), NO SOUNDS. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND SO I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO START THE CAR. NOTHING. NO SOUNDS, NOTHING. I THEN TURNED ON MY FLASHERS. TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN, NOTHING. I WAITED ABOUT 3 MIN. AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS NOT DONE IT IN THE 2 DAYS SINCE, BUT I AM NOW TO SCARED TO DRIVE ME CAR AFRAID THAT IT WILL DIE AND I WILL CAUSE A CAR PILE UP. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TO FORD AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING. *TR
