Do You Drive a Ford Vehicle?

A federal Investigation into engine issues in some models is under way.

Do you drive a Ford Escape or Fusion? A Mercury Mariner or Mercury Milan? 

These vehicles are the subject of a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into problems with stalling or surging engines, according to a report by The Huffington Post. The NHTSA and Ford have received almost 1,500 complaints about the problem and there have been three crashes and one injury, the report says. 

The investigation could lead to a recall. Affected vehicles include 2009 through 2011 models.

I had to trade in my escape and lose money because of my escape having that exact issue. All documented. I wonder if it too late to get the test of why I lost due to faulty manufacturing...

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
