Consumer Description
I'VE HAD A 2013 FORD ESCAPE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME MECHANICAL ISSUE MORE THAN A HALF-DOZEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OFTEN ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AT SPEEDS AT OR OVER 40MPH; THIS HAS HAPPENED NATIONWIDE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED IN OVER A THOUSAND COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS, HAZARDOUS DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS FOR THIS ONGOING CONSISTENT DANGEROUS DEFECT. I HAVE REPAIR RECORDS DOCUMENTING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS AND ONGOING FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL FOR STALLING ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. VIEW THE POSTED LINK NHTSA HAS PROBED THE PROBLEM. CHAPMAN FORD IN NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA KNOWINGLY SOLD THIS VEHICLE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. FORD CORPORATION DENIES RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC AND WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY. FORD WILL WAIT TO BE LIABLE WHEN SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE 2013 FORD ESCAPE STALLS OUT LOSES POWER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD, THEY DENY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. BEWARE OF THE 2013 FORD ESCAPE. HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-RECALLS-DEFECTS/FORD-ESCAPE-INVESTIGATION-TARGETS-STALLING-PROBLEM
