Problem Reports

Driving at night and within a few seconds first the lights kind of went dim then bright, next the radio goes off, then the dash goes out from left to right and the headlights go out. I am on a bridge going 50 mph with no lights and it is pitch dark with no shoulders at the end of the bridge on either side of the road it was very nerve racking. Lucky for me, a friendly driver comes along and lets me follow them to next rest stop at a snail pace cause I could only get max speed of about 10-15 mph. Ford Escape taught me another hard lesson in cheap unreliable mechanical garbage, if you get one of these keep the tow truck number handy and carry a flashlight and get you a safety reflector on the back. I have had two transmission put in this vehicle. My final conclusion for both Ford and Lincoln products that I have owned: too hi maintenance and very unreliable. I gave up on GM a long time ago and now no more Ford/Lincoln vehicles for me.
