Consumer Description
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, I BOUGHT A 2006 FORD ESCAPE, BUT WITHIN A SHORT TIME IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO WARNING. I LOST ALL POWER (STEERING AND BRAKES) AND HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THANK GOD I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT AND THERE WAS NO CARS COMING. NOW, EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE. WHEN GOING UP HILLS AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT SPITS AND SPUTTERS AND SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING! IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND START TO PULL OUT AT AN INTERSECTION IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT BACK UP BUT IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN IT JUST SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE PUT IT IN THE GARAGE TWICE, BUT BOTH TIMES THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THERE ARE NO CODES BEING THROWN. I ALSO TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER, BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.. BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, ITS SO DANGEROUS AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.
