NHTSA Complaint #10860179 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

SINCE AUGUST 2015-APRIL 14, 2016 I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES DUE TO REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER/ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING. MY FORD WAS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND SERVICED IN AUG 2015. IN JANUARY 2016 AND TWICE IN APRIL 2016 I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH ENGINE REDUCTION/VEHICLE HEATING GAUGE IDLE ON HOT/THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND RIDES EXTREMELY HARD UNTIL YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS I HAD TO TRY AND CROSS A LANE OF PASSING VEHICLES TO DO SO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FORD HAS ADEQUATELY FOUND A FIX FOR THIS HUGE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT KNOW IF A CONSUMER HAS TO BE KILLED FIRST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND SUGGEST A FIX THAT IS VIABLE TO THE PROBLEM. I AM FEARFUL TO EVEN DRIVE MY FORD DUE TO THE IS PROBLEM SINCE IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU PLEASE REVIEW THIS FOR ALL OF THE CONSUMERS THAT FORD CONTINUES TO SELL THESE AUTOMOBILES TOO.
