Description of the problem | While make a moving left hand turn... Engine stopped running. As i came out of the turn & started to try to accelerate i quickly realized i had no engine power... Drifted for about 50 yards & pulled over to the side of the street. Tried turning engine on... Vehicle started right up. Went on my way. The next day i took the escape straight down to our ford dealership. Ford ran a bunch of tests but could not find anything wrong. I am afraid to let my wife drive the vehicle now (her vehicle) because of this situation. I have been driving since i was 11 years old. I am now nearly 40. I have never experienced anything like this situation. I looked all around the steering wheel/etc. Trying to figure out if there was some way i could have turned off the engine (besides the keys)... I cannot see any other possibility... The vehicle was still in "drive" & the fuel tank was more than half full. The vehicle key in the ignition was still turned on when this happened. I cannot say for sure that the power steering was absent when the engine initially turned off... Did i still have a very small amount of engine power?... I do not know... But i could not accelerate. Please contact me guys if you can help me with this... Thank you. *js |
