I put the vehicle in reverse to back up and when I put vehicle back in drive it died/stalled. This has repeatedly happened along with dying at stop signs, red lights and multiple times at slow speeds. Also the vehicle has repeatedly "stumbled" at various speeds up to 65 mph.

Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the link for the gear shifter failed and the vehicle could not be driven. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic, who stated that the link for the gear shifter was rusted and became fractured. The failure caused the transmission to become unresponsive. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 100,000. Kmj.

Going between 34-37 mph today, my vehicle completely stalled upon slight deceleration as I was attempting to switch into another lane.

Upon pressing the brake, at any speed, the vehicle completely shuts off. This has caused me to be nearly rear-ended on several occasions. It happens without notice, and is becoming more consistent. I took it to the dealership, as there were recalls on my vehicle, but they said while that is a problem for my make and model, it was in fact not one of the recalls to be performed. I had two recalls performed, neither of which helped this problem at all. It leaves me halted in intersections, and makes for abrupt stops, as I have to completely brake to a full and complete stop, throw the truck into park, turn the key off, wait a moment, turn the key back on, and back into drive.

1 - rear latch is not working properly. When it is cool outside, the latch will not open the back door. 2 - window latch has rusted causing the rear window to detach from the hinge. Not that I am bidder, but at 37k miles, the transmission blew. . . . I discussed this issue with both Ford and my dealership ([xxx]). Both companies stated they could not help me and that it was on me to pay to correct. I explained that this was due to a lack of using proper supplies. They could not have cared less. I am hoping you can have them look into this because I would really hate to be involved in a car accident cannot use the rear as an exit. . . .

I am very unhappy. I got in my 2002 Ford Escape this morning and went to put it in reverse and the shifter broke or something it was rolling I had to put on brakes I have never even hear of something like this happening and I look on the internet and its all over the internet how defective it is. I am a 50 year old single women so I am sure it was nothing I have done. What is going to be done about this problem it could be a dangerous situation if they were in the parking lot of a public place!!!!!!!.

The gas pedal and brake pedal vibrate constantly between 1600-1800 rpm's. I took the truck to the dealer, but was told that it was a trait of the vehicle. I have driven other ones and they do not show this trait. It happens in every gear of the transmission, but when in park the pedals won't vibrate at stated rpm. As the load on the vehicle increase the intensity of the vibration increases. The condition is very annoying because it occurs at normal highway and city speeds. I would like to get the issue resolved, but the manufacturer seems unwilling to help. Dt.
