problem #1

Apr 232004

Escape 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,250 miles
On two separate occassions (04/23/04 & 04/30/04) my 2001 Ford Escape just stopped running with no warning what so ever. After the 1st incident a recall repair was completed (drivetrain module) and thought to have fixed the problem. Exactly a week later the vehicle just stopped running again. The dealership couldn't be certain, but the problem seemed to be a faulty fuel pump. The repair was made, costing nearly $500, and so far no problems. Had this problem occurred on a busy interstate, the outcome could have been very disastrous.
