| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2004 escape will not start. vehicle was purchased in september of 2003. it has been to the dealer 6 times for it not starting and they say that they cannot find anything wrong with it and to let the problem get a "little worse" and maybe they can find out what is wrong. this has happened in warm weather and cold weather. i contacted ford's consumer telephone number and was told that the dealer cannot find any codes so they can't fix it. just because a computer can't tell the mechanic how to do their job does not mean that there is nothing wrong with my car. ford offered to reimburse me a car rental so ii could leave my car at the dealer again for an extended period of time so they can try and figure out what is wrong. i do not have extra money laying around for a rental so they can have my car again for service and then have to wait for a reimbursement. this vehicle starts when it wants to and hesitates. this is a constant issue and i believe i have a defective vehicle. *nm |
