Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A 2006 FORD ESCAPE FOR OUR DAUGHTER THAT IS IN COLLEGE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD AROUND 92,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE PURCHASED. UPON BRAKING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND CUT OFF. SHE IS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK, RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE ON. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON BEHIND WHEN THIS OCCURS. SHE LIVES IN AN EXTREMELY BUSY AREA AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR HER. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. OUR MECHANIC IS TELLING US THAT HE IS ALMOST POSITIVE IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. (OF COURSE, WE HAVE LEFT IT WITH HIM FOR OVER A WEEK AND HE HAS DRIVEN IT EVERYWHERE AND IT WILL NOT MESS UP) AFTER HEARING THIS, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON IT. WHY IS FORD NOT DOING A RECALL ON THIS? THIS SEEMS SO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED OR WORSE BEFORE THEY TAKE ANY ACTION? *JS
