Description of the problem | My 2010 ford escape stalled on me around may 5th, 2013. I was able to pull over and restart it after a couple minutes. The check engine light came on when this happened, but went away when i restarted engine. I was driving about 20 mph at the time. On may 13th, 2013 it happened again twice. After the second time i took it straight to the ford dealership. They ran the computer test on it and couldn't find anything wrong. They charged me $40. They told me unless the check engine light is on, they probably wouldn't find anything. If it died and wouldn't restart, they might be able to find something then also. They said it will cost me $40 each time i brought it back to have it checked. Since then it has stalled on me about four more time, most recently 7/3/2013. Each time has been city driving not above 30mph. The check engine light did not come on these times. I have been avoiding driving it much because of the problem. It constantly surges when driving and sometimes jerks when first taking off from a start. When at a stop light or even in park with the motor running the rpms constantly go up and down. |
