While driving down hill the vehicle was revving up to almost 5rpms while breaking. . . Was not shifting into lower gear. . Pulled in to get gas. . Went to back up with reverse. . Then shifted gear into drive . . And the vehicle was still in reverse. . . Pushed the shifter to park and then back into driver and car was still driving in reserve. . . Pushed back into park . . . Switched seats with my husband . . . He got into driver seat and the shifter was stuck in park. . But was not registering on dash board. . According to the dashboard it was in reverse . . . Husband reversed the car into a parking spot . . He kept trying to pull the shifter to go into drive. . . But it was locked on park. . . So he manually went in to shift the gears and was able to move the shifter manually . . . But it still was not recognizing it on the dashboard. . . There was no warning sign . . . No alerts on the dash. . . . While husband was trying to get the shifter to register on dash. . . All lights on dash started flickering. . . So then we thought it was referring to the battery. . . Because soon after there was no powered at all to the vehicle. . . But the vehicle was still moving in reverse. . We put e brake on called a friend and had him jump us . . Did absolutely nothing . . . So now car is stranded in a parking lot until tomorrow. . . All this going on with an infant and 5 year old . . In freezing cold weather. . . Something needs to be done with these Ford Escapes before someone gets killed! for the amount of complaints I am seeing on this feature with the 2015. . You would think something would be done. . . This is dangerous and. Absolutely uncalled for. . . Get these damn cars off the market!.
