Consumer Description

I WAS SOLD THE CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP AND NEVER WARNED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RECALLED, THEREFORE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF IT STARTING ON FIRE. ALSO, RECENTLY THE POWER TRAIN WENT ON MY CAR ALMOST EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MANY OTHER FORD ESCAPE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT ISSUE. I WAS EVEN TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD ESCAPES AMONGST MECHANICS. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT "CLUNKS" AND DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHO MAY BE DRIVING THESE CARS WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT.
