Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, (IN TOWN AT STOPLIGHT AND ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY) MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING, JUST DIES. I HAVE BEEN TO 4 MECHANICS INCLUDING ONE AT A FORD DEALER JUST TODAY. NO CODES SHOW, SO EVERY TIME I AM BASICALLY TOLD THAT THEY "CAN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE" AND I AM SENT ON MY WAY WITH NO REMEDY FOR WHAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I JUST CALLED FORD AND STARTED A CASE NUMBER TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. JUDGING FROM OTHER COMMENTS I HAVE READ ON INTERNET, I AM NOT HOPEFUL. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL WASN'T ISSUED AND HOW I AM JUST LEARNING ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM NOW-AFTER SPENDING $20K ON THIS VEHICLE.
