NHTSA Complaint #11298055 — 2015 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD, AND OUT OF NO WHERE, MY CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS STILL ON, BUT WOULDN'T MOVE. AFTER PUTTING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, IT FINALLY MOVED BUT WAS REALLY JERKY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL I WAS HOME. WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED, IT DID THE SAME THING. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED MY CAR OFF, WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES, AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT WOULD RUN FINE FOR SEVERAL YARDS, THEN DO THE SAME THING, WHERE IT WOULD JUST STOP MOVING. A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST STOPS MOVING. IT'S CURRENTLY AT A FORD DEALERSHIP NOW, AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 FORD ESCAPE. THIS IS ALSO TERRIBLE BECAUSE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, ESPECIALLY IN MULTIPLE CARS!
