Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE 2013 ESCAPE BRAND NEW AND FOR 4 YEARS CAR RAN FINE THEN FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE CAR WOULD STALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART IT AND WOULD STALL AGAIN. THIS REPEATED FOR YEARS AND HAD IT FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR WAS ALSO LEAKING ANTI FREEZE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT I NEVER RECEIVED. AFTER THE LATEST STALLING ISSUES THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD A SMALL CRACK WHICH NOW I HAVE NOTIFIED THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AT COST OF 6K - 8K. THE CAR HAS 150K MILES WHICH IS NOT ALOT FOR CARS AND HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FOR YEARS, I WOULD NOT LET ANY ONE DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS AS WAS SO DANGEROUS.
