2001 Ford excape 4x4 XLT. Stalls while coasting downhill. I have taken this to the dealer (in warranty) twice to have this problem looked at. The dealer replaced various items but has failed to correct the problem. When the engine stops, not only does the steering wheel become very difficult to manage, but the brakes become very hard. I was barely able to stop the vehicle for a vehicle that was turning in front of me several hundred yards ahead.
Dear ntsa: I have recently submitted a service repair with Ford motor. My purchase of a new 2001 Ford Escape has been most troublesome. I contacted the Ford headquarters about the issue with I. A. C. Vale causing sudden loss of power when releasing acceleration pedal. I never got a satisfactory service with their rep. I made more than 3 phones call about this event, and Ford felt since it is over 36,000 mile warranty I am then obligated to pay for out of pocket cost for a defective product to the Ford dealer service center. The Ford dealer at my location diagnoses and determined a defective I. A. C. Vale that require a replacement. The cost of the replacement including labor is $275. I cant believe my SUV is under 2 years old and is already due for a service repair. Symptom: during the acceleration and passing of another vehicle, I noticed a sudden loss of power as I merged into a slower lane and releases the acceleration pedal while gently applying the brake. I could have been in an accident since a sudden lost power as the rpm dropped below the minimum requirement for idling and begin to stall. Other vehicles were force to break. The car is no longer operational and being service at Ford dealer. I will have to pay for the defective parts and labor totaling $275. I believed Ford doesnt care for my situation as long I make another Ford purchase. This is issue affected my vehicle and may soon affect other vehicle as they meet or exceeded certain mileage. Sincerely chatt fudurich 120 wisteria way covington, GA 30016.
I have had intermittent installing since 2003. Recall 04s13 was for the powertrain control module. Took my vehicle in for the recall and still today 12/6/07, I am having the same problem. My car will stall in parking lots, drive thru's, at traffic lights, and in traffic when coasting. When I am finally involved in an accident, I will be suing Ford for failure to meet my needs with this complaint. The dealers say I have to bring it in when it happens. I can't make it happen and it doesn't happen consistent to meet this "requirement. " I will not buy another Ford as a result of their lack of concern for my safety or lack of concern that their product is a good product.
