Consumer Description
AT APPROX. 46,000 MI. MY ESCAPE BEGAN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING AND NO RHYME OR REASON. AFTER COASTING TO SAFETY (SO FAR) I CAN RESTART AND CONTINUE. NO TROUBLE LIGHT COME ON EXCEPT THE WRENCH WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. AT FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED EVERY FEW WEEKS OR SO. FORD DEALER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEM IS UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING! NOW IT IS HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE INSTRUCTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR MY DAUGHTER IN CASE I AM KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE I AM THAT AFRAID. I CAN'T AFFORD EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 49,000 MILES. FORD CAN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT IT IS! THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE @ 70 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO NEIGHBORHOOD AT 2 MPH. I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT YET BUT AM CERTAIN IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WHILE HAVING IT SERVICED AT FORD DEALER YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A 110.00 TO HOOK IT TO COMPUTER BUT THEY MAY NOT TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GAMBLE 110.00. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE. I PAID FOR A 76,000 MI WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD IT EXPIRED IN JUNE OF 2017. PLEASE HELP!
