Consumer Description
I was driving the vehicle and then on the dash message board. There was a warning message that said the transmission is not in park and the car shut off on the highway. The vehicle would not start the vehicle gear would not move even when the key was on in the on position, I took the vehicle in to Summerville Ford in Summerville South Carolina, and they advised me that everything was OK with this car they hooked it up. They were no codes that popped up however, the very same day the same thing happens again I have looked at various different forms and this is a known issue with a 2017 Ford escape and other model vehicles. This is a safety hazard and this needs to be rectified immediately. In reviewing the various different forums it all points to a defective fuse near the battery. This is very unsafe. The Ford dealership claims to not be able to replicate the issue but as soon as I leave the dealership it happens again.
