Consumer Description
Hello, I'm writing to see if the Ecoboost lawsuits also include 2014 Ford Escapes? Mine cut off on me while on the highway Saturday (XXX). The Engine failed while driving, no light or warning. This is even after me dishing out a little over $8k in 2021 when I purchased it used from Bommarito Ford in St. Louis. I had transmission/engine issues from the start. When the car stopped on me a few folks that work on cars pulled over to see if they could assist. They all said the same thing... that the engine was done... oil was everywhere. They kept asking if it overheated but my gage always stayed between C and H. No lights or warnings ever. It was horrifying to be going about 60 mph to hear something break and lose power without warning. I'm grateful no accident was caused while I merged over to the exit ramp shoulder. I had the car towed back to my apartment while I try to figure out how to get the engine repaired. I'm currently re-starting after a very messy divorce so I do not have extra funds laying around to have a new engine installed. Currently in Chapter 13 due to issues with the divorce. Now I'm catching the bus and I'm still dealing with his stalking/harassment. I've been told my additional warranty ended in June of 2023. I contacted Ford and they told me I would need to have their dealer look at the car which will be towing plus the $250 fee. But that my car type is not included in the class action. The dealer said the same, but I do have an ecoboost engine and have been having issues with the engine/transmission since I purchased it in 2021. Do you know how I could add my name to the Class Action? Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
