NHTSA Complaint #10637643 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 70 MHR ON I-95 GOING DOWN SOUTH. AS L WAS TRAVELING I SUDDEN HAD TO GET OFF THE EXIT TO GET SOME GAS AS I WAS APPROACHING THE EXIT I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO COME TO A STOP MY TRUCK STILLED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LITE UP INDACATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT I THEN HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE OTHER ON THE BRAKES. TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY MACHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS TORQUE CONVERTOR (TRANSMISSION ) SOMETHING HAS TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION. ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPEN ON THE WAS COMING BACK TO ATLANTA TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AGAIN TRAFFIC ALL OF A SUDDEN COME TO A STOP,ONCE AGAIN WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE TRUCK STALLED AGAIN IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT STALLED SO MUCH I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 1HR IN ODER TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING BUT THAT DID NOT HELP IT KEEP STALLING EVERY TIME I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP .SMH.SCARED. TRAVELING WITH MY KIDS..... THIS HAS HAPPEN SOME MANY TIME UNTIL I AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ANYWHERE IT STALLS IF I DRIVE AT 60 MPH OR 70 MPH. IF YOU ARE AWARE OF DRIVING A MANUAL CAR WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND YOU DON'T USE THE CLUTH TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP AND IT STALLS , WELL THAT'S WHAT IT LIKE DRIVE THIS TRUCK WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP WHOLE DRIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME I HAVE ALSO HAD TO PUT THIS TRUCK IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR THE TRUCK NOT TO STALL.. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK MODEL TO AT BY SO MANY MACHANIC AND BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ITS HAD TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SOME SAY IT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND SOME SAY TORQUE CONVERTOR... IT NEED TO BE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL TO HAVE THE TIRQUE CONVERTOR FIX BEFORE THIS PROBLEM KILLS ANYONE THAT'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM.... *TR
