NHTSA Complaint #11352670 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, BUCKS, JERKS AND SHAKES WHILE ACCELERATING. RPMS RANDOMLY ACCELERATING, NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH POWER TO ALLOW VEHICLE TO GET UP HILL. ENGINE OVERHEATING, ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT FREQUENTLY COMING ON, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING OUT IN HOT/COLD WEATHER FOR A WHILE. MY RADIO HAS COMPLETELY JUST STOPPED WORKING, NO SOUND WHATSOEVER. I HAD HIT A DEER BACK IN MARCH OF 2020, TOOK IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I ASKED IF IT WAS STILL 'SHIFTING HARD.' I ASSUMED SINCE MY COMPUTER TO MY CAR WAS JUST DANGLING AFTER THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG THERE. BUT APPARENTLY THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AS FAR BACK AS 2018. NOW, HERE I AM MONTHS LATER AND AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR. WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN IT, WHICH MAKES IT HARD BEING A SINGLE MOM. TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS EXPLAINING THE SITUATION. EVERYONE MADE ME SEEM CRAZY, IT MAGICALLY DIDN'T DO IT FOR THEM. NOW I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!
