AT TIMES WOULD SEEM TO STALL AND THEN SURGE FORWARD AS IF THROTTLE HAD BEEN DEPRESSED. THE SPEED AT WHICH I WAS TRAVELING DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAVE QUIT DRIVING TILL I HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET REPAIRED. APPX. REPAIIR COST $200 WITH THE PART COST AT $140

ESCAPE RANDOMLY STALLS OUT AND IS UNRESPONSIVE. CAN BE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, A MILE FOR HOME OR ON 45MPH STREETS. UNABLE TO REPRODUCE BUT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. FORD WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A CAR RANDOMLY STALL OUT ON ANY STREET AND MANUFACTURER NOT WILLING OR CAN'T FIX. HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR FORD ESCAPES BUT NO RESOLUTION AND NO HELP FROM FORD. I'VE CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS AND FORD SERVICE WITH SAME DISAPPOINTING RESPONSE. KEEP SPENDING MONEY HAVING DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT IN HOPES THEY CAN REPRODUCE IT.
