2001 ESCAPE STALLING - I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ESCAPE JUST STOPS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR WHEN I AM TURNING. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SINCE IT HAPPENED ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE IN 4 FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT FORD ABOUT IT TO SEE IF THEY HAD A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND THEY LEFT A VOICE MAIL WITH NO TELEPHONE NUMBER. NOW THEY HAVE UNANSWERED 3 ADDITIONAL EMAILS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND HE SAYS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ESCAPE STALLING EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHERE THEY SAY THE DEALERS CAN NOT FIX IT. MY DEALER IS JUST MAKING GUESSES. THIS IS WHY I WANTED AT LEAST A SERVICE BULLETIN SO I DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH A GUESSING GAME WITH MY DEALER. I AM VERY SCARED OF MY...

I PURCHASED 2001 USED VEHICLE FROM HERTZ CAR SALES WITH 27,000+ MILES. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED SECOND WEEK WE HAD VEHICLE. ALSO REALIZED THAT AC/HEATING SYSTEM HAD "WHISTLE" WHICH COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. MAJOR PROBLEM HAS VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, LOSING ALL POWER, BRAKES, ETC. FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. FORD DEALER HAS WORKED ON PROBLEM, REPLACING TRANSMISSION, FIXING AC/HEAT SYSTEM AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE "STALLING" PROBLEM. THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. CAR AT FORD DEALER ONCE AGAIN. IT IS STRANGE TO ME THAT THEY DO NOT COMMENT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED NOT ONCE BUT MANY HUNDRED TIMES! I DEFINITELY FEEL THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE ESCAPE STALLING AND BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL. AS WE DRIVE ON MOUNTAIN ROADS, THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. FORD HAS CERTAINLY LOST MY FUTURE BUSINESS BY NOT FACING THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM....

THIRD TIME IN 2 YEARS SUV HAS LOST POWER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES NEARLY CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS OF I-95. CALLED DEALER, WAS TOLD OTHER COMPLAINTS EXIST, FORD IS AWARE OF COMPLAINT, BUT UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *JB
