Description of the problem	One night i was driving in a residential area and my car started to rumble, it shook back and forth and the engine started to splutter. Then, the engine choked and the car stalled in the middle of the street. The car shut itself off. Luckily, this happened before i entered the freeway. The check engine light went on and at first i thought it might have been a battery problem. However, after the car shut off i tried to start the car and i was able to drive it for a couple minutes until it started to stall again. This happened three times in one night within a thirty minute time frame. So, i had to wait a while for my engine to cool down. I took it to galpin ford motors service and they told me they could not diagnose the problem. I went back the second time to get my vehicle re-checked after two days because the problem occurred again and galpin ford was still not able to resolve the issue. I recently just took it back because my car choked in the middle of an intersection and i am still disappointed by the way galpin ford services handled the situation. I feel like my life is at risk driving this vehicle. I have researched this make and model for incidents just like mine because i'm sure this is a defect with the ford escape models.
