Description of the problem | Driving 60mph on highway when ford escape bucked, slowed, did not accelerate when gas was applied. Pulled to side of road where engine sputtered and died. Restarted truck, drove another 10 miles when same occurred. This has occurred numerous times over the past two years. I assumed i had bought gas with water in it "bad gas". Several times i have used a product to remove water from the gas, this only works sometimes. I have an appointment with ford on july 5th, i believe its another problem with the ecoboost engine in my suv. Ford should recall this engine before a fatality occurs, i have visions of someone plowing into the back of my vehicle while my engine stalls unexpectedly. |
