Description of the problem | My 2014 ford escape suddenly hesitates and stalls while driving it, causing a serious safety issue. My escape has never had any work performed on it beyond new tires and oil changes so this is a manufacturing defect. I took my vehicle to the local ford dealership for service and was informed it is a problem with the splices in the wiring harness for the map sensor. I was also told it is the exact same problem as ford's current recall number 14s17 for 2013-2014 ford escapes; however my vin is not covered by this recall due to its manufacturing date. Apparently additional vehicles need to be added to this recall or a new recall needs to be issued as this issue continued on my ford escape and ford has refused to fix my problem since my vehicle is out of warranty due to the number of miles, even though this is clearly a safety issue caused by a manufacturing problem and not a wear and tear issue. I was charged $360. 35 to repair my vehicle. |
