Consumer Description

THE ENGINE WILL STUTTER AND STALL (AFTER DRIVING FINE) AND WILL THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES - IF THE CAR RESTARTS, IT WILL SHUT DOWN AGAIN WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE. I HAD IT TOWED RECENTLY TO A SHOP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENS OFF AND ON - I FOUND A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS FORD ESCAPES AND THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2004, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED (IT WAS MADE AT THE SAME PLANT AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT - IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS.
