Description of the problem | My 2010 ford escape has been stalling!!! I have already got the throttle body update last week! That is not the fix. I have had issues with my car (the transmission was bad- recalled, the steering wheel locked up on me driving the highway at 70 mph with my kid- recalled, the throttle body- fixed last week in the customer satisfaction update/recall) and yet it is still stalling. This is very dangerous and just an accident waiting to happen. This 5 year old car has been nothing but a death trap for me and my toddler. No one can tell me what is wrong with the stalling. I am taking it in yet again in hopes someone can tell me why my 5 year old car is shutting down on me. It shakes really hard like it's going to explode and then smells like gas before it shuts off. I have been beyond frustrated with this 2010 escape and can't get rid of it because everyone knows all of my issues with it. If my daughter and i die while in the car..... It will most likely be fords fault with as many problems i have had. Please please recall whatever is causing these cars to shut off while driving. Http://www. Consumeraffairs. Com/ford-news-and-recalls? Page=2 (nhtsa said it has recorded 1,500 complaints about the problem, with three crashes and one injury so far. Besides stalling, nhtsa said the affected vehicles may also surge unexpectedly as the rpms increase to prevent stalling during limp mode. An earlier throttle problem in the ford escape has been fixed, ford said. It is not thought to be related to the stalling problem.) please read that last line! |
