Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING OR IDLING, MY 2001 FORD ESCAPE HAS STALLED 7 TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE AUTO HAS ONLY 8600 MILES. I FIRST TOOK IT TO THE FORD SERVICE SHOP, WHO REPLACED THE AIR FLOW VALVE AND THE IDLE REGULATOR, BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE SHOP WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED TO THE SHOP MANAGER THAT I HAD READ ON THE INTERNET THAT A PCM RELAY COULD BE THE CULPRIT. THE FROD DELAER SHOP VERY HESITANTLY REPLACED THE PART TODAY. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE WHEN THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, THUS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. *AK
