Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY '16 FORD ESCAPE OVER A YEAR AGO. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO JUST FINE WHEN TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ISSUES UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE IN MOTION THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIES. AGAIN I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARD AS THE CAR COMPLETE GOES INTO A COST WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT.
