NHTSA Complaint #10721905 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

DRIVING TO WORK WHICH IS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM WHERE I AM LOCATED AT. MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, THE RADIO IS STILL WORKING, A/C IS STILL WORKING AS WELL AS THE ENGINE BUT I WAS NOT GETTING NO ACCELERATION AT ALL AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND 3 LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED: WRENCH LIGHT, OIL AND ENGINE LIGHT. I GOT THE ENGINE LIGHT FIXED THE OTHER WEEK AS WELL AS AN OIL CHANGE SEVERAL WEEKS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS THE FIRST FOR ME. I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH A FORD ESCAPE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED DIFFERENT MECHANICS, SOME SAY ITS THE ALTERNATOR OR IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT EITHER WAY I AM SCREWED BECAUSE FORD CHARGES AN ARM AND A LEG TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT REFUND YOU IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PERSIST. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN FT. MYERS, FL AND THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PAY A $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TOO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE, MY ISSUE IS THAT I AM AFRAID THAT I CAN NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I END UP IN AN ACCIDENT OR I PAY A $100 FOR THEM TOO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR(SOMETHING FORD IS KNOWN FOR). I HOPE SOMETHING IS GETTING DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, IF NOT FORD IS GOING TO LOSE ITS CUSTOMERS AND IF SO I AM GOING TO SWITCH OVER TO DODGE.
