| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: If you could please forward me any other resources where i can seek a resolution i would greatly appreciate it. on 7-14-05 our ford escape v6 xlt (vin: [xxx]) was taken to galpin ford (van nuys, ca) for repairs. the problem was that while stopped the vehicle suddenly accelerated, resulting in the accelerator being stuck and the vehicle moving forward. the vehicle had to be put in park in order to avoid a collision. the vehicle was then taken in on 7-14-05 where tech's diagnosed the problem w/ an "stp sensor malfunction", resulting in the sensor being replaced. according to [xxx] (svc. advisor) he related that this may be a problem on newer ford escapes, but not on our specific vehicle. he said to contact ford corporate to seek reimbursement. on 7-17-05 i contacted corporate explaining them of the problem. although, they admitted it was a safety issue, they stated there was no recall for our specific model and year. they said at this time they could not assist with the matter. as stated before i am seeking assistance in this matter due to ford's poor history for automotive safety. *jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr |
