Consumer Description

TRAVELLING CENTER LANE ON ROUTE 81, AT 65 MPH, CAR LOST ALL THROTTLE, FELT LIKE IT CAME OUT OF GEAR, WHILE DRIVING, AND COULD NOT GET INTO GEAR. MANAGED TO GET OFF TO SHOULDER. HAD A TRACTOR TRAILER BEEN BEHIND ME, THERE IS NO DOUBT THEY WOULD'VE HIT ME. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP HAD 3 OTHER FORD ESCAPES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOP. ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE JUST PURCHASED HER FORD ESCAPE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH.
