Battery Dead Problems of Ford Escape Hybrid

Car shuts off with little or no warning, 3 times now, once on interstate 64. Dealer first said hybrid battery bad, 2nd opinion from hybrid battery company said battery good. Dealer said, 2nd time with car, need a $600 repair that will resolve. Now, dealer says no, the battery is still the issue. They still cannot state why the car does it, what will make this car safe to drive and if they truly know it is the battery, why did they do the $600 repair and tell us that would fix the problem. I have asked wynne Ford in hampton va, the dealer, for a poc at Ford motor company to be able to get answers on how to make/know our12 yr old car is safe to drive, been over a month, but have recieved no information from wynne Ford. I guess I need to drive to michigan to see mr. William clay Ford jr for answers. I do not know the exact mileage on the vehicle, vehicle is at the dealership. Also, the issue has happened 3 times but the latest was around oct 2018. Each incident, we had to get vehicle towed.

Part two: note from customer: no particular dashboard light issue (except for one) worked fine until utter system collapse of car -- utter and quick death, lies lifeless on driveway,leaving me w/broken heart -- my love affair w/Ford rocked to depths. Had 3 perfect tauruses, & I never expected a $5000 fix on a car when it's been done to others with no good results. We are as poor as pickles. I have read so many exact same stories online that I believe there is a "known issue" & that you all will be (no offense) be hit by a class action law suit or a bunch of lemons law suits. I've read the same story over and over -- battery failure, new battery also failed in dangerous places with children car. All happens with no warning; our battery was pretty new. But a new battery bought, installed & failed after one week, died and never recovered - the car, I mean. ) I had just finished paying for it; it seemed as though it had been put on a "failure when paid for" internal timer! tech said he had never seen 5 simultaneous failures at once, though I have already read of the most crucial, dangerous problem many, many times, despite the "local" floridian manager (I'm in CA) who urged me, in a sweetly condescending fashion, to go back to Ford for the fix because "there are so many things floating around out there on the internet". [xxx] straight, & many of them are right. So glad I found this site. Please tell me what to do, what my options are -- we could have failed in the freeway -- we almost failed coming home from a party and two weeks in a row lost our spots at the farmers' market because the vehicle died. Okay, Ford -- I'm truly and totally upset -- I put $27k into that vehicle and now it this a dead heap. People with other 2006 hev (Ford only) write of truly terrifying failures on the freeway. Make it right -- this is a known issue and we want recourse & justice. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I own 2008 model of Ford Escape Hybrid. On the incident day, the controls and battery failed suddenly without prior indications or warning signs. Signal lights and door locks failed to operate. In that condition I took the vehicle to a nearest Ford dealer on the day. Since two weeks, the problems have not been identified. I've been told of compure and control malfunctions, and that parts are being replaced one at a time every 2 or 3 days. I fear even after the vehicle gets fixed that similar failures may occur, and there may be risks to drive on highways in future .
