ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY 2002 FORD ESCAPE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, CREATING EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATIONS. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROCEEDING DOWNHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AND THEN STALLS AS FOOT IS LIFTED OFF GAS PEDAL. STALL CAUSES LOSS OF BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ETC. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE-- ON FIRST VISIT THEY SUGGESTED POSSIBLE FUEL CONTAMINATION MIGHT HAVE CAUSED A STALL. ON SECOND VISIT (8/15/02), DEALER UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM, NO DIAGNOSIS MADE, ALTHOUGH DEALER DID INSTALL SOFTWARE UPGRADE. CAR HAS FAILED TWICE SINCE THEN (8/16 AND NOW ON 9/30). HAVE NOTIFIED DEALER OF MOST RECENT INCIDENT AND BRINGING CAR IN FOR SERVICE. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES, BUT HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY LUCKY EACH TIME. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WITHIN FIRST 5-10 MINUTES AFTER ENGINE START AFTER PROLONGED REST. MR
