NHTSA Complaint #10746808 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WOK AT 10:15PM WHEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM AND COILS. A FAMILY MEMBER HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER 2005 FORD ESCAPE. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT. HOWER,INFORMATION ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN OCTOBER, 2014. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. UPON CALLING FORD, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR WAS OVER $2,00,WHICH I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR. HOW CAN FORD PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH VEHICLES THEY WILL REPAIR? EVIDENTLY SAFETY IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM.
