AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN DRIVE, WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE CAR THE PEDAL WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DEPRESS IT. THE PEDAL BEGAN TO WORK AFTER STOMPING DOWN WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD SUDDENLY. AGAIN AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKES AND STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE PEDAL AGAIN WOULD NOT DEPRESS UNTIL STOMPED ON. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT IN THE COLD AND AFTER IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED TIME PERIOD (OVERNIGHT).

I ONLY HAD MY CAR 4 DAYS WHEN DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A SUNDAY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE WHEN THE SUV JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE CAR. I WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE RAMP. THE CAR AGAIN SHUT OFF AT THE BOTTOM ON THE RAMP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY) AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON TUESDAY. IT IS NOW FRIDAY AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR. *JB
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2001-2008 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured March 31, 2001, to September 1, 2009. The affected vehicles are equipped with either a 2.3L or 3.0L engine and have had their CD4E transmission replaced with remanufactured one that was rebuilt between June 11, 2015 through July 15, 2015. These service repair part transmissions have a shift lever bolt that may not be properly tightened. As a result, the shift control lever could disengage from the transmission without warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the shift lever disengages from the transmission, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the gear selection indicator may show that the transmission is in the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not actually be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmissions and either tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S28.
