Consumer Description

ON JULY 9, 2019 I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING AT WHICH TIME THE ODOMETER WENT DOWN FROM 50 DOWN TO 0 IMMEDIATELY CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. THANK GOD I WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESSING OF EXITING. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AT ALL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE WHO WAS UNABLE TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC AT THE TIME, AND SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT BACK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND OF GREAT CONCERN. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 42,460 MILES OR SO ON IT, AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT SINCE 2010 AND AT THE TIME PURCHASED AT 18,000 MILES OR SO. I DRIVE MY VEHICLE LOCALLY ONLY. I HAVE READ THAT THIS A PROBLEM WITH FORD ESCAPES, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL. PLEASE HELP!
