MORE PROBLEMS WITH FORD ESCAPE SUV HYBRID CAR

The Ford Escape Hybrid (electric chair) car, seems to be one of the most unlucky cars going.

We've seen the Ford Escape Hybrid that is used by the Mohegan Tribal Government as Police cars, Public Safety vehicles, and other uses, have all kinds of problems. We had a police car catch on fire, a security car go through a fence and hit a pole. We reported how the hybrids supposedly stall out and that the power steering sometimes cuts out. We found out that the cars are rolling over in collisions in New York City.

Here are the latest events that have happened.. One car was being driven by a Public Safety officer at Fort Shantok and he supposedly drove the car into the end of one of the open gates at the entrance leading into the park. The end of the gate went through the windshield. We are told the driver is okay. Thank God. The car is supposed to be in one of the parking garages at the casino, probably by the employee parking. It is waiting to be fixed.

The second case, that was reported to us, is that another Public Safety hybrid car, had some kind of malfunction and that the dash lights do not work anymore. We have been told the car is at Girard Ford waiting to be fixed.

We were informed, that the big Ford 150 pick up truck is now being used by Public Safety, as the vehicle for off site work, in other words it goes to places like Fort Shantok, Fort Hill Elder Housing, the Mohegan Church, the Tantaquidgeon Museum, etc. This thing probably gets eight to twelve miles per gallon. Why? It doesn't sound like a cost saving measure to me. Does it to you?

Why is this happening? Could it be the Mohegan Tribal Government doesn't have the money to fix these cars? It seems like someone is doing some strange decisions here? Tribal Council what is happening? Do you know? Would you like to tell us? What do you think?
