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. *AK
THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER TURNED OFF ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART, HOWEVER VEHICLE BACKFIRED AND DIED, DEALER STATED THE VACUUM HOSE FAILED. *SLC
