I was driving on a residential road on 11-24-18, on my way home when I hear a vibrating noise. I think it is my phone, but all of a sudden the car stalls. Thankfully I had no cars behind me so I power it down and then tune it back on and it gives a little issue turning back on but does. I make it home. It works fine the next few days. On 11-27-18 after only driving locally in between I take my Ford on the highway to go to the airport 30 mins away and all is fine until the ride back home on the highway. I hear the vibrating noise again as if I was going over rumble strips on 95. The car goes on a little longer and then shuts down again. Power remains on but the car stalls. I am taking it in today. I hope to get this resolved as fast as possible. I bought a new car for a reason. Reliability and now I am just annoyed that this is happening with only 32k miles on the 2016 Escape.
