Consumer Description

FORD ESCAPE 2001 STALLED ON MY WIFE AS SHE DROVE HOME. THE POWER WENT OUT IN THE CAR AND SHE BARELY HAD THE POWER TO STOP THE VEHICLE SINCE THE BRAKES WERE OUT. THIS HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A PROBLEM WITH FORD (RECENTLY SETTLED CASE WITH OTHER FORD VEHICLES) WHERE STALLING CAUSE MANY (66%) FATALITIES. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO 3 OTHERS THAT WE KNOW OF. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (PER CUST. SERV. MGR-PATRICK DORRINGTON) BUT ARE NOT BUYING US OUT OF OUR DEAL SINCE THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. MY WIFE IS 4 MONTHS PREGNANT AND WITH 2/3RDS OF FORD STALLING EVENTS ENDING IN DEATH SHE IS NEVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN. ANY HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED.*AK
