NHTSA Complaint #11043042 — 2014 FORD ESCAPE

ON FEBRUARY 2017 I BROUGHT A 2014 FORD ESCAPE AT ABOUT 59 K MILES AND NOW IT HAS ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT. I WAS TOTALLY CLUELESS AS TO HOW UNSAFE THIS CAR WAS AND ALL OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/ISSUES THAT CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS CAR. ON 09/22/2017, THIS CAR TOTALLY BROKE DOWN. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR WITHOUT MADE A LOUD NOISE, AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING JUST STOPPED/SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. NONE OF THE SAFETY INDICATOR ALERTS WORKED IN THIS CAR SO I WAS CLUELESS THAT THE CARD HAD ANY ISSUES. I ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AT THE TIME AND IT WAS CLEARLY OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION, BAD BATTERY, ABS ISSUES AND POSSIBLY AN ALTERNATOR. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND POSSIBLE A RECALL THAT IS WHY NO WARNINGS LIGHTS CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW IT WAS A PROBLEM. I REACHED OUT TO FORD WHO BASICALLY SAID SORRY WE DON'T CARE HAVE A NICE DAY. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKET UNTIL FORD CAN GET THIS IN ORDER. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE.
