Description of the problem | Brand new 2020 ford escape hybrid car intermittently stops and ceases. Seems something wrong with electrical system. This happened while driving 10 mph down residential street. Car is inaccessible and cant even get into neutral. Tried disengaging electrical battery. Had to let sit for 15+ mins and car seems to reboot itself. Then you can start and put into drive/reverse etc but acceleration does not work and only idles. This is 2nd time happening. First time, we let it sit for 30 more mins and seems it electrically rebooted itself and car worked. Was able to drive to dealership. They had it 1 week and said its fine no computer issues. Bullshit. (8/19/20). Now, 8/28/2020 this happened again. This vehicle is not safe and will be looking for a replacement vehicle. We had a 2012 escape that due to a manufacturing defect caught on fire on highway in 2014. Ford is not putting out safe products and need to be investigated for these faults as these are serious endangerment to their customers lives. |
