The least they could do is let you know when they loan you a car or truck. We zipped out of Village Ford, A great dealer in a loner F350 Behemoth. It was as comfortable as driving from your Living Room Couch. When we stopped at the first Red Light it started getting warm inside the truck, these Florida Traffic Lights leave you there so long you could need a shave by the time it turns green. Anyway, keys out the hood open, engine to high didn't see anything wrong, no steam or garbage that was obvious so back in and it started up and we made it home. I called Mrs. Jay at the dealer and that's when I found out, we were the victim of more technology. There was a way to program it to stay off all the time and until you find out what it just drive the Escape in the Sports Mode. No Charge, I hope it works and programming the real fix is a walk in the park.
