NHTSA Complaint #10819550 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

ENGINE WARNING LIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO APPEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. INITIALLY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THEN STAYED ON PERMANENTLY UNTIL I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER, THE ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED AFTER APPROXIMATELY A MONTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND STAYED ON STEADY AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH FUELING THE CAR. I TOOK PARTICULAR CARE IN NOTICING WHEN THIS CURRENT ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR FUELING OF THE CAR. IT WAS DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD IT HAS NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ANY "REAL" ISSUE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I CAN'T USE THE CLICKER TO AUTO-START MY CAR DURING WHAT HAS UP UNTIL NOW BEEN A RELATIVELY MILD WINTER. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES, I AM ON A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH THE FORD STAFF. BUY JAPAN.
