Consumer Description

GREETINGS, I HAVE A FORD ESCAPE 2013, 2.5 LITERS, AND I ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SUFFERED AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. IN THE SCREEN OF THE CAR IT SAID: "MOTOR DAMAGE, TURN OFF". THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE MY LIFE, BECAUSE THE CAR LOST ALL THE ENERGY, STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THE MOTOR WAS HESITATING. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL AND I FOUND A FORD NUMBER 14S17-S1 BUT THAT RECALL IS FOR 2.0 LITER AND MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 IS 2.5 WHICH MEANS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL WIRE THAT IS RECALLED FROM THE 2.0. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIND AN ANSWER, BUT THE CAR DOES THIS MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY AND ONCE YOU TURN IT BACK ON THE CODE DISAPPEARS LIKE IF NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I TOOK THE PAPER OF THE RECALL TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CODE DISAPPEARED AND MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM OF THE 2.0 LITER.
