AIR BAGS
ON 9/27/02 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE I RAN A STOP SIGN AND "T-BONED" A PASSING CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY 2002 ESCAPE WAS TOTALED - THE FRONT END COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. EVERY OFFICER, PARAMEDIC, AND FIREMAN WAS AMAZED THAT THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THEY ALL INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS MATTER. AS THIS IS MY SECOND ESCAPE (THE FIRST ONE SUCKED A VALVE WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP), I WILL NO LONGER TRUST FORD TO PROVIDE A SAFE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MYSELF OR MY FAMILY MEMBERS. MR

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
