NHTSA Complaint #10839750 — 2008 FORD ESCAPE

I TOOK MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE IN TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED ON ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF CORRECTLY TO START WITH. I FILED A COMPLAINT YESTERDAY FOR THAT ISSUE. I FORGOT TO MENTION AND ADD A COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING ALSO WITH THE 2008 FORD ESCAPE. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION. WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START. IF YOU REMOVE THE KEY AND TRY AGAIN THEN IT WILL START. OR IF YOU SIT AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND RETRY TO START THE VEHICLE THEN IT WILL START. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE SHAKEN IN THE STEERING WHEEL. HOWEVER THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A IGNITION SWITCH AND IT WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND BILL. I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED FOR THE ELETRIC POWER STEERING WHEEL SO FOR NOW I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT GO COMPLETELY OUT AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. HONESTLY... I WANT TO CRY! EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND IT IS SOMETHING GOING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. ALSO I HAD TO GET THE SERPENTINE BELT FIXED LAST WEEK AS WELL. I DONT KNOW OF WHAT MORE I CAN SAY AT THIS TIME. MY NERVES ARE SHOT WORRING ABOUT WHAT WILL GO WRONG NEXT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WORRY IF IT WILL START TO PICK MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL AND SOCCER OR IF SHE WILL BE LEFT STRANDED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION HAVING TO WORRY; ABOUT HAVING MONEY FOR REPAIR AFTER REPAIR. I AM SO DISCUSSED WITH FORD! ALSO I HAVE A ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE MAKING A NOISE. I THOUGHT THE NOISE COULD BE RELATED TO THE SERPENTINE BELT BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. IT IS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE UNTIL I CAN GET THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED.
