NHTSA Complaint #10667852 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CAR DIED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE ENGINE CUT OFF. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP; I PUT IT IN PARK TO TRY AND START IT AGAIN, AND IT SEEMED TO STRUGGLE WHEN STARTING AS IF I WERE OUT OF GAS, BUT I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY TANK THAT MORNING. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND THERE WAS A STOP SIGN ABOUT 500 YARDS AWAY, AND AS SOON AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP AGAIN; THE ENGINE DIES. THIS TIME IT TOOK TWICE AS LONG AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. ALSO, WHEN I AM SITTING IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, THE RPMS WILL DROP VERY LOW AND START TO STALL OUT. I AM ABLE TO CATCH IT AND REV THE ENGINE TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING SOMETIMES. *TR
