NHTSA Complaint #11024555 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AND ACCELERATE TO GO , THE CAR LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND WAS IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND COULDNT GO . STOP AND RESTART AND CAR WAS ABLE TO GO. TOOK TO DEALER AND 1200$ LATER THEY SAID A FUEL RELAY SWITCH WAS BAD AND THEY FIXED IT , MONTH LATER STARTS HAPPENING AGAIN . NOW EVEN MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE . NOW THEY TELL ME AT FORD THAT A RELAY IS STOPPING THE COMPUTER AND THEY ARE GOING TO RUN A WIRE SEPERATE TO BYPASS THE RELAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM.. IVE READ ABOUT THE RECALL OF THIS MODEL IN THE 2.0 L 2013 ESCAPE OF THE RELAY HARNESS NO WIRED CORECTLY AND CAN CAUSE THE COMPUTER MODULE TO RESET CAUSING A PAUSE IN POWER FROM OVERHEATING THE MODEM. ITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS EXACTLY THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE THE SAME REASON. WE CANT DRIVE THE CAR THIS IS UNSAFE IT IS SITING AT DEALERS WAITING FOR REPAIR DECISION.
