Description of the problem | I was driving along with cruise control on at 73 mph, when i could no longer accelerate, my escape just died with no warning lights, stall out or anything. Just as if someone turned it off. I had to coast to the side of the road. I waited a few minutes and tried to start it again with no luck. When i turned the key over, it seemed like it wanted to start but was not getting the gas to. I tried 3 more time and finally called ford roadside assistance and had it towed to the nearest ford dealership. I am waiting on a reply (with no loaner etc) the reason i buy new is for peace of mind. Not even , 10,000 miles on the car and it brakes? What gives. I have already taken it back to the dealer once (the day after i bought it) because it tries to stall when switching from reverse to drive, but the dealer made some excuse and said to watch and see if it continues. I am just glad that i was within cell phone signal range because i had just not been a few minutes before (scary). |
