| I was driving on the interstate at 70mph at night when my 2005 ford escape started jumping and then completely lost power with no warning. i immediately pushed the flasher button and coasted off of the interstate, i was able to crank the vehicle back up and get to the nearest exit and call for help. the repair shop found the # 4 ignition coil had burned up. thank god there was not an 18 wheeler knocking on my back door, would not be here to complain and no one would have ever figured out what happened. *tr | |||

| While driving 45mph the car just cut off is a high traffic area. the car behind me had to swerve to miss rear-ending me! i had my 3 year old daughter w/ me at the time! our mechanic has informed us that apparently ford motor company is aware that bad plugs were installed in these cars and would cause computer failure! nothing was told to us regarding this issue when we purchased the car! when emailed fmc they informed me that this is not a safety issue & a recall is not required. how can this not be a safety issue when the car completely dies w/out warning??? *tr | |||

| Driving at 55 mph and car began to lurch and buck. car shut off 3 times in busy intersection with no warning and almost caused an accident. took to mechanic, and learned that the computer system had shorted out due to manufacturers using incorrect spark plugs. apparantely, this is a common issue with this year and make. this is a dangerous problem, and can occur anywhere, doing any speed! the computer system must be replaced and it is very expensive. | |||
