Escape Black V4

• Manual transmission

I am terrified by this situation with the car. There is no apparent indication of when this shut-off will occur, which leaves you completely
vulnerable and in jeopardy of loosing your life. I was only told that there was a manufacturers defect by the local dealer, but that all they could do was to replace the part for now. Since Ford had not recognized this as a wide spread problem I was only safe due to manufacturers warranty. I shutter to think about the next time the cable line goes out and the pedal box stops working!!

Is not my life and my child's life important to warrant a better solution??? How come I am required to get licensed as an Architect for the rational of "Life Safety" but a car manufacturer is entitled to wait until enough people suffer the same defect before any action is taken??? Where is the rational in this? Life safety is life safety regardless of the individual or the masses.

So I am getting the second replacement of the two parts this year Nov. 5, 2007 in Maplewood, NJ. I bought the car in Springfield, MO two summers ago. I am not pleased at all with this turn of events. I expected for a form of reciprocity working safe car for the 20,000 I paid.
