There is oil leak that cannot be found. I have taken that truck to 3 different mechanics, conducted 3 different diagnostics using the dye and everything and the source of this leak cannot be found and is causing me problems.

My vehicle is not able to pass the inspection and I have had a brand new gas tank put in and the engine lights are always on. I can’t get a new tag for the car and I have been pulled over by police 5 times now and received a citation due to this issue. Please if possible could you help me with this situation. Thank you so much for your time and understanding.

The vehicle was dropped off on 12/26/24 at Planet Ford to have 2 recalls fixed. One being the electric power steering and the other being the fuel delivery module flange. A loaner vehicle was asked for, but not provided. The dealer said to contact Ford, and Ford said it was up to the dealer to provide that or rental assistance. The service personnel said after a few weeks and talking to Ford engineers, that the battery the vehicle had in it was not the right amperage/voltage. They said it would need to be replaced in order to continue to fix the recall. I had just put a new battery in it about 4 months prior and it was of the correct spec. I call every few days and have not been given and estimated time to have it fixed. Now, it's over a month and I still have no resolution and no vehicle. They are now saying that the computer is not good and also needs to be replaced. The car is not drivable and the recalls are not fixed. This is my only vehicle, please help with this. I have been patient and have exhausted every avenue available to me.

I filled up the tank and the inside smells like fuel, and it leaks underneath it. I checked online and they had a recall for the same year but the 3.0 engine, mine is the 2.5L. I took it to the mechanich and it has the exact same issue as those that have been recalled. The fueld delivery system flange is cracked and leaking fuel. I called ford and my car is not under that recall but it has the exact same issue. I need to pay it myself now and I am afrain for my safety as a lot of gas is leaking.

While driving, the brakes have no pressure. When starting the vehicle, the brakes go all the way to the floor. I took my car to several difference garages, and they determined the brake booster was the issue. No repair has been done, but the brakes go all the way to the floor and is difficult to stop. The 2nd issue is after the local Ford dealership performed work on the fuel system for a recall, the vehicle will sputter after refueling. This will cause the vehicle to almost shut off at a stop. I called the dealership, but they won't reexamine the recall. If I fill my tank up when I refuel, the fumes of the gas smell so badly you can't drive for a day after.

Talked to [XXX] (service Manager) AutoNation Ford regarding issues encountered. Service recall dates back to Nov 16, 2017 where recall issue was not completed correctly. We had contacted AutoNation Ford to address this fuel leak issue. Original recall (16S41) description was about fuel leak underneath the vehicle and after service recall completed in 2017 the issue persisted. This would have caused gasoline leakage causing dangerous condition operating vehicle. This has also been forwarded to NHTSA. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

I have researched ford escape recalls. Each recall I have seen such as epas retention guide the bearing and fuel system is exactly what's wrong with my vehicle now. However when I look up the recall by Vin number I am only shown that I have a recall for the fuel system problem

1.2010 Ford Escape Electronic Throttle Body issue investigated by the NHTSA. 2. Hesitations, surges, stalls. Ford has issued a CSP 13N03 with time and mileage limits. This is a safety issue effecting many Ford vehicles and the symptoms may not surface until beyond the CSP 13N03 time limits imposed by Ford, as in my case. These electronic throttle body hesitations, surges and stalls are very dangerous and result in compromised safety for the driver, their passengers and others on the road. I have come very close to a collision on two separate occasions because of this issue. The NHTSA should force Ford to reclassify this issue as a recall with no time nor mileage limits or lift the current program time and mileage limits for people like me who are beyond the time limit who have just recently developed this problem. This is a mechanical defect as well as a safety issue. 3. Problem confirmed by Ford dealership. 4. Dash warnings - check engine light and wrench lights illuminated. In my case, these have gone on and off, vehicle demonstrates hesitations, surges, stalls, then resets itself and the vehicle functions normally. This has happened twice over the last few months. Just recently, the warning lights have stayed illuminated and the symptoms are now constant.

I was driving on the freeway in the second lane from the left cruising around 60-65 MPH when the vehicle started to idle rough and then I lost the ability to accelerate I had to maneuver over to the right-hand shoulder of the freeway with cars flying around me. Even though the engine never stalled, the loss of my ability to accelerate left me a sitting duck in danger of being struck by another vehicle or as a dangerous obstacle for other vehicles who might have gotten in an accident trying to avoid me. It also came to my attention while researching the cause that Ford was aware of the issue and had already recalled certain vin #'s and sent a letter out to others with an extended factory warranty to replace the part, but only once the part failed. NOT SAFE! I previously reported this incident to you in August or September, however I lost my follow up information and don't know what happened with my complaint.

STEERING;AT SLOW SPEEDS AND ESPECIALLY AT IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPS BACK AND FORTH. JITTERY IS HOW I'D DESCRIBE IT. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT FEELS LIKE A LOOSE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THROTTLE BODY; RECALL IS EXPIRED. I PURCHASED THE CAR (SECOND OWNER) ABOUT 2015 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE COUNTY, CA. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OEM THROTTLE BODY FAILED IN 2019, WHICH WAS INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSED AND I REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. NO RECOURSE AT THE PRESENT WITH EITHER ISSUE. BOTH ARE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES KNOWN THROUGHOUT FORD FORUMS AND INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURER.

THE CAR HAS HAD ISSUES STARTING SINCE I BROUGHT IT FROM A USED DEALER LAST SEPTEMBER. OVER TIME IT GOT MORE DIFFICULT TO CRANK. I STARTED CHECKING YOUTUBE TO SEE IF IT WERE JUST ME AND CAME TO LEARN THAT THERE IS A GREAT MULTITUDE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR FORD ESCAPES. THE LOCKING MECHANISM FROM THE KEY THAT FLIPS THE IGNITION SWITCH IS EITHER TOO WEEK OR IT DOESN'T TURN FAR ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE TO CRANK. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE COVERING FROM MY STEERING WHEEL AND MANUALLY USE THE SPARE KEY AS AN EXTENSION OF THE O E INSIDE THE IGNITION, IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO CRANK. THE SAME PROCESS IS REQUIRED IN TURNING THE CAR OFF. RIGHT NOW IT WORKS, HOWEVER COULD BE A HAZARD WITH ALL OF THE WIRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL EXPOSED. AND WHO IS TO SAY THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WON'T JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH HAVING AN IMAGINARY PHYSICAL CONNECTION?

@12:56PM ON 2/11/2021, MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, ACCELERATION, LIGHTS, PEDAL/GAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. THE TIME REMAINED ON. IT WAS 19* F WITH NO PRECIPITATION ON DRY/PARTLY SNOWY PAVEMENT ON HIGHWAY US31 JUST S OF THE NORTH MUSKEGON/BUSINESS 31 BYPASS. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH AND ADJUSTED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SLOW FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE SHORTLY BEFORE THE SHUTOFF. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THAT IS RELATED, BECAUSE THE TIMING WAS NOT IMMEDIATE. I HAD NOT CHANGED LANES IN MORE THAN A MILE, ALTHOUGH THE ROAD DOES TWIST SLIGHTLY IN THAT LOCATION. I HAD ON AUTOMATIC LIGHTS, DEFROST AND REAR DEFROST, BLUETOOTH AUDIO, AND CRUISE CONTROL. MY TANK WAS JUST BELOW 1/2 FULL OF GAS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BUT IS NOT STORED IN A GARAGE OVERNIGHT. I COASTED TO AN EMERGENCY LANE ON THE PASSING LANE, TURNED THE KEY OFF (OTHER THAN THE TIME, AUDIO, AND BRAKES, NOTHING ELSE WOULD RESPOND.) I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 60 SECONDS, IT STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM, AND I COULD CONTINUE TO MY VACCINE APPOINTMENT WITH NO DISCERNIBLE SIGNS OF ANY OTHER ISSUE OR ERROR. IT WAS TERRIFYING.

WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A FUEL LEAK AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE RISK FOR OUR 2010 FORD ESCAPE XLT WITH THE LI I4 ENGINE MANUFACTURED AT THE CLAYCOMO, MISSOURI, PLANT. THERE HAS BEEN FUEL ODOR SINCE SEPTEMBER, 2019 UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, IN ADDITION TO THE SMELL OF FUEL, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE, VISIBLE POOL OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE; ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR LEFT TIRE. A PHOTO IS ATTACHED. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2010 FORD ESCAPES FOR A DIFFERENT ENGINE, I WOULD LIKE THE RECALL EXTENDED TO INCLUDED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE.

FUEL PUMP CRACKED (PART #PFS534) IN 2010 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID 2.5L ENGINE SIMILAR TO RECALL ON OTHER FORD ESCAPES WITH 3.0L ENGINE. CRACKED FUEL PUMP CAUSED VAPOR LEAK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE WOULD STILL OPERATE BUT STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA AND WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE RECALL ONLY IMPACTED 3.0L ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND NOT OTHER FORD ESCAPES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND LIKELY HAVE A VERY SIMILAR PART.

WHILE DRIVING IN A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, (IN TOWN AT STOPLIGHT AND ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY) MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING, JUST DIES. I HAVE BEEN TO 4 MECHANICS INCLUDING ONE AT A FORD DEALER JUST TODAY. NO CODES SHOW, SO EVERY TIME I AM BASICALLY TOLD THAT THEY "CAN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE" AND I AM SENT ON MY WAY WITH NO REMEDY FOR WHAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I JUST CALLED FORD AND STARTED A CASE NUMBER TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. JUDGING FROM OTHER COMMENTS I HAVE READ ON INTERNET, I AM NOT HOPEFUL. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL WASN'T ISSUED AND HOW I AM JUST LEARNING ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM NOW-AFTER SPENDING $20K ON THIS VEHICLE.

ACCORDING TO YOUR VIN SEARCH, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE 5 RECALLS ON THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. NOW WITH THAT SAID, 1 RECALL THAT IS LISTED, I AM HAVING A FUEL LEAK JUST AS IT IS DESCRIBED BUT AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THAT RECALL AND IT SHOULD. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS TO INFORM THAT THE TANK IS FULL, THE GAS STARTS TO LEAK VERY BADLY FROM UP UNDERNEATH AND THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. PER THE FORD DEALER IT IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF IT DOES IT DURING A TEST DRIVE BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS PATENTLY UNSAFE. IT SHUTS DOWN IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SURFACE ROAD SPEEDS, WHILE MOVING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER - FOWLER FORD - IS NOT FOLLOWING FORD'S DIRECTIVE AND IS CHARGING ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHEN FORD SAYS NOT TO. THE 2010 FORD ESCAPE IS A DEATH TRAP. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR LESS SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT THE ONE ISSUE THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL? THIS MAKES NO SENSE, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. WHY WAS FORD ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A PART THAT FAILS RANDOMLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS THAT FORD WAS GIVEN A PASS ON AN ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED.

THE VEHICLE FLEX FUEL SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND REVIEWED BY MECHANICS, WHO COME BACK WITH ONE ISSUE, THE FLEX FUEL SET UP. SO WE ORDERED AND REPLACED THE FLEX FUEL PIPE 2 TIMES NOW. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO POP BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS GO BY. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FROM A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I AM SCARED TO DEATH SHE WILL CRASH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ON THE INTERSTATE. THE 2011 RECALL FORD ISSUED COVERED THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, WHICH IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MY DAUGHTER JUST CALLED AND STATED THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF 5 TIMES IN THE COURSE OF A MILE. LUCKILY, SHE WAS LOCAL.

THE "CHECK FUEL FILL INLET" CAME ON A COUPLE OF MILES AFTER FILLING GAS AND STAYED ON. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE COMPUTER SO WE REPLACED THE COMPUTER. BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS AND IT SEEMS MANY OTHER FORD ESCAPE USERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

RECALL 16V-777 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JANUARY 2018 STATING THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER - GIBBONS FORD AND WAS PUT ON THE WAITING LIST SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. IT IS NOW APRIL AND THE DEALER HAS ONLY RECEIVED THREE OF THE PARTS TO DATE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SEVICE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER CAS14605645. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE ELEVATED TO THEIR MANAGEMENT, BUT I THINK FOUR MONTHS IS EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO EFFECT A RECALL. THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS AND I'M HESITANT TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF FIRE. I BASICALLY HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE WAITING ON FORD TO GET PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP. ANY PRESSURE THAT CAN BE PUT ON FORD TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPONENT WITHIN IN THE FUEL TAKE THAT SHUTS AFTER YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. WE KEPT GETTING AN ERROR NOTICE THAT IT WAS NOT SHUTTING. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE FORD DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, WE THE CODE CAME UP AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THIS TIME, THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME, BUT WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN GETTING REALLY BAD GAS MILEAGE. WE MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLE VERY WELL, SO THIS WAS CONCERNING. WE PUT NEW TIRES, DID A COMPLETED TUNE-UP, ETC., BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE CODE SAID THERE WAS A PART THAT NEEDED REPLACING; THE VENT VALVE. WE DID THAT, AND THEN 2 WEEKS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING. AND THEN, AS WE'RE PUMPING GAS, THE GAS KEEP SHUTTING OFF, AS IF WE ARE TOPPING IT OFF, WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY EMPTY. WE WERE HAVING A HARD TIME JUST FILLING UP OUR TANK. WE FINALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP (WHOM WE TRUST). THE VENT VALVE THAT WAS REPLACED WAS FULL OF FUEL. THEY ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE CANISTER. WE ARE HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. IF NOT, THEY SAID WE'LL NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IS CURRENTLY ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. BUT I CHECKED MY VIN# & WAS TOLD MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THAT RECALL. I LOVE MY LITTLE ESCAPE, BUT WE'VE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM FOR SOME REASON, FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING & FORD JUST SHRUGS THEIR SHOULDERS AT US NOW. *TR

LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER FORD ESCAPE OWNERS, I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED V6. FIRST I COMPLETELY LOST ALL PROPULSION/ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 35MPH. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED ENGINE OFF. TURNED ENGINE ON AND VOILA! RUNS JUST FINE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, AT 75MPH FULL LOSS OF PROPULSION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED ENGINE OFF. TURNED ENGINE ON AND VOILA! RUNS JUST FINE, UNTIL ABOUT 5MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN ABOUT ANOTHER 3WKS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A BACKROAD IN NC AT ABOUT 60MPH. THIS TRIP IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY ONCE I GOT PARKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON (JUST TO CHECK), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I LEFT MY LOCATION, PRAYING I'D MAKE IT HOME, NO ENGINE LIGHT, BUT NOW THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. STOPPED FOR GAS (I HAD TOO, I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH THE COUNTRY) AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS YET NEITHER PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK "COMPUTER SCANNED" WITH NO ERROR/PROBLEM CODES SHOWING UP. I'VE CALLED 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, WHO TOLD ME "FLAT OUT" ...NO PROBLEM LIGHTS/CODE...NO FIX UNDER THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE EXTENDED WARRANTY. YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SO CALLED "CUSTOMER SERVICE EXTENDED WARRANTY" YET THE STIPULATIONS IT MAKES IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY REPAIRS OF A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART/SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.

WHEN WE USE THE MAX A/C IT RECIRCULATES AND YOU CAN SMELL VERY HEAVY GAS. WHEN YOU TURN IT TO REGULAR A/C THE SMELL GOES AWAY. IT IS HORRIBLE.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOOSES POWER. WHEN I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WILL SIT THERE AND ACT AS IF IT IS STARVING FOR FUEL.

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING HOME TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR TOTALLY LOST POWER AND I HAD TO COAST INTO A DRIVEWAY. HAD MY DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING BY HERSELF SHE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO REMAIN CALM AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A LONG TIME AND KNEW WHAT TO DO. ONCE I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IT RAN FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENCE AND THOUGHT MAYBE WE HAD JUNK IN THE FUEL. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE WE WERE DOING 60 MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY NEXT TO A SEMI IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO TURN MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD TO CUT OFF VEHICLES IN THE RIGHT LANE TO GET SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE AGAIN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND WENT HOME. MY HUSBAND DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS AND WHEN THEY WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WERE TOLD THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE OTHER PEOPLE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WE WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT IT AND THEY PLAYED DUMP AND SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WERE ACTUALLY RUDE TO US. I LOCATED A THROTTLE BODY IN STOCK AT A FORD DEALERSHIP 3 HOURS AWAY. WE PICKED THE PART UP AND MY HUSBAND INSTALLED IT. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR TO REPLACE AND COST $207.22. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. IT IS CRIMINAL TO ALLOW THIS TO GO UNFIXED. IT POSSES A TERRIBLE RISK TO DRIVERS.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING TWO ITEMS FIXED THAT WERE RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE, (THROTTLE BODY ETC), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING DONE WHILE FIXING RECALL ITEMS; HOWEVER, THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE RECALL ITEMS FIXED. ALSO IT WOULD COST $527.00 TO FIX, AS THE FLAP INSIDE THE NOZZLE/FLEX FUEL PIPE WAS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. I SHOWED MY ANGER AND DISAPPOINTMENT - WHICH AT THAT POINT, THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT MY CAR HAD A WHITE FUNNEL THAT THEY WOULD USE TO TRY TO UNDO THE FLAP. IT WORKED. WHY IN THE WORLD DID THEY TRY TO GET ME TO PAY $527 WITHOUT FIRST TRYING THE FUNNEL. ANOTHER CLIENT IN THE SERVICE DEPT ADVISED ME TO DO THE FUNNEL THING BEFORE THE SERVICE GUY DID. HE HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUES. AS OF THIS MORNING, HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. I AM GOING TO TRY THE FUNNEL FIRST, BEFORE I TAKE IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. I FEEL ASSURED THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST FORD ESCAPE 2010 OWNER THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO RECALLING THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING SUDDENLY APPEARED TO DOWNSHIFT DROPPING MY SPEED APPROX. BY 20 MPH, THEN LURCHED AT 50 MPH UNTIL I PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER. THIS WAS ON A UNLIT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I TRIED AGAIN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME RESULTS, MEANWHILE THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I THEN PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN IT RESTARTED THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. WITH ABOUT A HOUR LEFT ON THE TRIP, THE CAR STARTED TO DOWNSHIFT AND UPSHIFT RANDOMLY AS I REDUCED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 40 MPH ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY, WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE, SO THAT I COULD MAKE IT HOME. THE LAST TIME I HAD MY OIL CHANGED, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED THAT I CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I FELT LIKE THE OLD FLUID MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY MY CAR SHIFTED IN AN ERRATIC MANNER. SO, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE. THIS WAS ON JULY 21, 2014. IT WAS A ABOUT WEEK LATER, THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN LURCHING AGAIN. THIS TIME I DECIDED TO TRY A FULL TANK OF GAS WITH CLEANER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE. IT DIDN'T. FINALLY, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A REPAIR SHOP TO FIX IT ON AUG 18, 2014.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON I75 AT 75 MPH WHEN MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LOST POWER DROPPING TO LESS THAN 20 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE BERM THREE LANES TO MY RIGHT. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR DRIVING ABOUT 100 YDS. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK ON SIDE ROADS WITH THE CAR SURGING AND JERKING ALONG THE WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO HUNTINGTON FORD THE NEXT DAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD REGARDING WHAT HUNTINGTON REFERRED TO AS A "LIMP HOME" MODE WHICH LET TAKE TO A DEALER AND HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPROGRAMMED, WHICH I DID. THE CAR WAS OK FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT AND THEN STARTED STALLING AND SURGING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I SHOULD REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD STILL NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

TRAVELING ABOUT 6 PM (RUSH HOUR HEAVY TRAFFIC) 3 LANE EXPRESSWAY WHEN CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER SINCE WE WERE IN THE LEFT PASSING LANE. THE LEFT SHOULDER WAS NOT AS WIDE AS THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND WE FELT THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS WE STAYED IN THE CAR WITH OUR SEATBELTS ON AND CALLED FOR ROAD SERVICE (AAA). WE DID NOT RECEIVE HELP FOR TWO HOURS. JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR TWO MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT - PRE OWNED CERTIFIED BY DEALERSHIP. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD WAITS UNTIL THE PART FAILS BEFORE REPLACING IT. I FEEL STRONGLY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS PART OF THE "CERTIFICATION" PROCESS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATIONS THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. AFTER THE CAR "DIED", A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED, BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER WE HAD COASTED TO A STOP. IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE MIDDLE LANE INSTEAD OF THE LANE NEXT TO THE SHOULDER, I FEEL CERTAIN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A HIGH SPEED POSSIBLE MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT AS TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND FAST. THIS IS SO VERY WRONG! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS COMPLAINT POSSIBLE. I HOPE IT HELPS RESULT IN A RECALL BY FORD RIGHT AWAY SO NO ONE HAS TO GET HURT OR EVEN DIE. *TR

ON A CITY STREET HEADED OUT OF TOWN IN THE MORNING. STARTED TO PULL OUT FROM A STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN REALLY ROUGH. STOPPED JUST INTO INTERSECTION. FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WATER IN THE GAS. VEHICLE WOULD IDLE VERY ROUGH BETWEEN 500-800 RPM. PUT ISOPROPYL DRY GAS IN THE TANK...NO BETTER AFTER 35 MINUTES. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED. DEALER CALLED ON MONDAY TO TELL ME THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACED. COST WAS $417.63. MADE A COMMENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE APPARATUS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT AT 31,000 MILES (VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY BY DATE). THE GENTLEMAN POLITELY AVOIDED ANY ANSWER.

I WAS ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE SPEED, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE--EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE LOWER LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY CROSS OVER TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AND PULL TO A SIDE STREET, AT WHICH TIME, MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. A SEARCH OF MY OWNER'S MANUAL REVEALED THAT THE WRENCH LIGHT INDICATED A POWERTRAIN OR THROTTLE FAILURE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED IN FOR INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BURNED OUT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY VAPOR LOCK CAP. A DAY LATER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FAULTY VAPOR LOCK COMPONENT AT A COST OF OVER $700. NEITHER PART WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. INTERESTINGLY, I WENT BACK THROUGH MY SERVICE RECORDS AND NOTED THAT IN DECEMBER OF 2012, I STATED TO A LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE THROUGH TURNS. THE SERVICE TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SO NOTHING WAS DONE ASIDE FROM CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL SYSTEM.

I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A THROTTLE BODY .. I'M HERE AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW .. AND THE PART IS WELL OVER $400 .. HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BILL YET.. BUT MY GUESS, WITH LABOR BETWEEN $500-$600! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD! PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL THIS PART - THROTTLE BODY - AS IT SEEMS UNFAIR TO HAVE SUCH A HIGH COST REPAIR AFTER 3YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE -- THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP! THIS IS A SAFETY RISK -- SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED IN THIS PROCESS ..AS THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY -- PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING, AND SAVE FUTURE LIVES.. THANK YOU! *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT SPEED LIMIT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VEHICLE LOSES ALL THROTTLE WITH PEDAL AND WILL ONLY IDLE. ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART AND GET TO DESTINATION. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. NO CODES BUT THE WRENCH DID LIGHT UP ON THE DASH AND GO AWAY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND SAID THIS IS USUALLY THE PROBLEM. MY COST $510.62......... THEY SAID TO LOOK FOR A RECALL ON THROTTLE BODY AND I COULD GET A REFUND BUT LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM LOOKS LIKE FORD IS SLOW TO POST THE RECALL THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET DUE TO FAULTY PARTS.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG & SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE. A WRENCH APPEARED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL & IT WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, BUT HAD NO THROTTLE POWER. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF & JUST SAT THERE, THINKING ABOUT MY OPTIONS. I TRIED TO START IT & IT STARTED, SO I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A SHOP, WHERE THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLE SEEM TO BE RUNNING ROUGH. FIRST, I NOTICED A ROUGH IDLE WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THEN, WHILE TURNING ACCROSS ON COMING TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AT THIS POINT I WAS STILL IN THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO FINISH THE TURN. THANK GOD I DID IDLE TO SAFETY. I THEN STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND OBSERVED A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT ALL. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AFTER THIRTY SECONDS AND IT RAN NORMAL AGAIN WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE THE ECM SCANNED FOR TROUBLE CODES. THE TECH COULD NOT RECOVER OR READ ANY CODES AT THAT TIME. I FOUND THAT TROUBLING AT THE TIME BUT FOUND OUT LATER THAT NOT ALL SCAN TOOLS CAN ACCESS STORED CODES. I HAD THIS OCCUR TWICE THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO SCHEDULE SERVICE AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THE SYMPTOMS HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE PROBLEM. I ORDERED A NEW THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY PER THEIR INSTRUCTION AND ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE IF IT'S THAT COMMON. THE DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD TREATED AS THAT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT OR WORSE, KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THE NEXT DAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FIND OUT WHY THEY AREN'T BEING PROACTIVE WITH THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO KNOWN SAFETY RECALLS OR TSB'S AT THIS TIME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT SOMETHING THEY HAD ENCOUNTERED VERY OFTEN. SINCE THEN, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT IT IS VERY KNOWN AND BEING INVESTIGATED AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU.

I THEN STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND OBSERVED A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT ALL. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AFTER THIRTY SECONDS AND IT RAN NORMAL AGAIN WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE THE ECM SCANNED FOR TROUBLE CODES. THE TECH COULD NOT RECOVER OR READ ANY CODES AT THAT TIME. I FOUND THAT TROUBLING AT THE TIME BUT FOUND OUT LATER THAT NOT ALL SCAN TOOLS CAN ACCESS STORED CODES. I HAD THIS OCCUR TWICE THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO SCHEDULE SERVICE AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THE SYMPTOMS HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE PROBLEM. I ORDERED A NEW THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY PER THEIR INSTRUCTION AND ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE IF IT'S THAT COMMON. THE DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD TREATED AS THAT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT OR WORSE, KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THE NEXT DAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FIND OUT WHY THEY AREN'T BEING PROACTIVE WITH THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO KNOWN SAFETY RECALLS OR TSB'S AT THIS TIME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT SOMETHING THEY HAD ENCOUNTERED VERY OFTEN. SINCE THEN, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT IT IS VERY KNOWN AND BEING INVESTIGATED AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU.
MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT & THEY DID A SMOKE TEST & DETERMINED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS VAPORS FROM THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM - TO BE SPECIFIC THE FUEL FILLER AREA. IT COST ME $500 TO FIX. THE SHOP SAID MY CAR WAS LEAKING A LOT OF GAS VAPORS WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THANK GOODNESS I DONT SMOKE. THERE SEEM TO BE QUITE A FEW OF THESE COMPLAINTS & THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. APARENTLY FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD - FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2006 & YET THEY STILL PUT THEM IN VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT RELATIVELY CONSTANT SPEED. THE ENGINE HESITATED, CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE ENGINE THEN STALLED. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE CAR SEEM TO RUN NORMALLY AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, ALTHOUGH IT MAY NEED TO BE RESTARTED A FEW TIMES BEFORE ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT STALLED AND SEEM UNABLE TO MAKE THE DRIVE HOME. THE ENGINE THROTTLE WAS CLEANED IN AUGUST BY A MECHANIC, BUT STALLED REPEATEDLY 3 DAYS LATER. USING DRY GAS AND KEEPING THE TANK NEARLY FULL HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE EITHER. MY EXPERIENCE SEEMS SIMILAR TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOUND AT THIS WEBSITE AND OTHER PLACES ON THE INTERNET. *JS

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND FORWARD MOTION. IT WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. ONCE I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT, THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. AFTER THE FORD DEALER'S INSPECTION, IT WAS DEEMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE CULPRIT, AND NEEDS REPLACED.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND SPIT AND SPUTTERED. VEHICLE RESTARTED AND WENT ABOUT A MILE AND DID THE SAME THING. AT THAT POINT A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE SHOP WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED.

MY 17 YER OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND VEHICLE LOST POWER AND IMMEDIATLEY SLOWED QUICKLY. THERE WERE VEHICLES IN FRONT AND IN BACK OF HER AT THE TIME AND SINCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED ON IT'S OWN, THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS TO WARN TRAFFIC AROUND HER THAT SHE WAS SLOWING. VERY SCARY SITUATION. FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD THROTTLE BODY, WITH A 2 MONTH WAIT FOR THE PART DUE TO HIGH NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM (PART ON BACKORDER). I AM GUESSING WITH A 2 MONTH WAIT ON A PART, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE, BUT AFTER CALLING OTHER FORD DEALERSHIPS AND CHECKING THE INTERNET SOON FOUND OUT MY DUAGHTERS EXPERINCE WAS NOT UNIQUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 65MPH ON FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE DROPPED TO IDLE SPEED. THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CAR'S RPM'S TO INCREASE DESPITE PUSHING IT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID NOT STALL, BUT RATHER WAS IN A SUDDEN STATE OF IDLE.THE "WRENCH" ICON FLASHED ON, THEN "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND MY CAR WENT FROM 65 TO 5MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. AFTER CAR'S IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF, THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER REENTERING FREEWAY NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT NOT UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OUT, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. A BLINKING YELLOW WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH BOARD.

JULY 5, 2013 I WAS DRIVING HFROM ST SIMONS ISLAND, GA TO FLORENCE, SC. I WAS ON A CONNECTOR BRIDGE WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER BUT THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. I STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PARKED IT, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE SINCE I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT STARTED UP, AND I HAD POWER SO I DROVE FOR ABOUT A MILE, AND A REPEAT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED. AGAIN, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND ON RESTART WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. I FOUND A MEINEKE REPAIR SHOP IN BRUNSWICK, GA AND PULLED IN THERE. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT BUT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG (NO DASH LIGHTS APPEARED). SO I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FLORENCE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. A SHORT TIME LATER, ON JULY 27, 2013, I WAS ONCE AGAIN IN ST SIMONS ISLAND AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I HAD TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE ISLAND AUTO REPAIR SHOP (THIS TIME THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CLEANED THE PART, SAID IT SHOULD WORK FINE, USE FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON AUGUST 19, IN FLORENCE, SC, THE SAME THING OCCURRED AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. I HAD TO CALL AAA, WHO HAD IT TOWED TO MILLERS FOREIGN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT STILL SITS WAITING ON A NEW PART.

WE WERE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY FORD ESCAPE SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NO LONGER RESPOND WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. MY SUV SLOWED TO A STOP WHERE I CUT IT OFF. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE I WAS ALMOST SIDESWIPED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES, THE MOST RECENT BEING YESTERDAY AUGUST 23 ON AN INTERSTATE OVERPASS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AGAIN I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION AND WAS STUCK IN THE CENTER LANE OF THE OVERPASS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR SOON AFTER STALLING OUT AND WAS ABLE TO AN AUTO STORE THAT PULLED THE CODE OF P2112, WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY CODE. OF COURSE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT IN JUNE 2013 AND FORD ESTIMATES THE REPAIR TO COST $500 MINIMUM. AND SADLY, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY ESCAPE AS I FEAR IT WILL GET ME INTO AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 50-55 MPH AND GOING UPHILL WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE DESPITE TRYING TO PUMP THE PETAL. THE CAR DID NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY BUT IDLED ROUGHLY WITH THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ON.

EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN OVER 50MPH AND GOING UPHILL, OR HAVING TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE TO GET PAST A SLOWER MOVING CAR. THE FORD DEALERSHIPS DON'T CARE AND JUST WANT TO CHARGE A FORTUNE TO FIX IT. I HAVEN'T READ FROM ANYONE IF THE NEW PART EVEN FIXES THE PROBLEM? I'M AT THE POINT WHERE I'M STRESSED ALL THE TIME DRIVING NEVER KNOWING WHERE IT WILL CRAP OUT AND AVOIDING HIGHWAYS AND ROADS WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO STOP ON.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM AND IDLE POSITION THE VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER. BY THIS I MEAN THE VEHICLE STAYS ON, LIGHTS ON DASH REMAIN ON, MOTOR IS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUTTER TO IT. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY OR HOW MUCH TIME PASSES. YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE GAS PEDAL WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE VEHICLE AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN BUSY LOS ANGELES INTERSECTIONS. I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FORD DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $800 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS RECURRING AND VERY PROMINENT FLAW IN THEIR VEHICLE AND SAY EVEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED FOR $2,200 WILL NOT COVER THIS PARTICULAR PART.

I CONTINUED ON MY WAY AND WAS TURNING RIGHT AND AS I MADE THE TURN, THE ESCAPE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THANKFULLY I HAD A SHOULDER TO COAST ON TO OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS TIME, "WRENCH" LIGHT AND "ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR WAS MADE THERE. THE DIAGNOSIS AND CORRECTION WAS FOR A THROTTLE BODY. FROM MY REPAIR SLIP IT SAYS "10FOZ RETRIEVED CODES P2111/P2112 - FAULTY AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE, I SEE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHERS. MINE WAS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I AM REPORTING THE PROBLEM JUST IN CASE YOU ARE KEEPING RECORDS OF HOW MANY FORD ESCAPES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING ON A STATE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ALTHOUGH IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THE POWERTRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. WE LIMPED OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RUN AGAIN. THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND STAYS OFF UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT. THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN VERY FREQUENTLY NOW, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, WE ARE UNABLE TO USE OUR VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. WE HAD A CODE RUN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PART TO REPAIR IT SO FAR. *TR
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION WHERE THE ESCAPE WOULD COUGH AND BUCK WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT TIME ( A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE), I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SENT IT FOR A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". IT DIDN'T BUCK CONTINUALLY AFTER THAT, BUT WAS STILL GUTLESS AND SLOW.

WHILE ON A TWO LANE ROAD DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE IN MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STARTED TO SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS GOING TO DIE. IT DID NOT, BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE DID NOT REV, THE CAR REMAINED ON BUT JUST COASTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF MY CAR AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MINUTES UNTIL THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 4 LANE ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD HAVE HAD A FATAL OUTCOME. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE THROTTLE BODY FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL STREET THEN I WAS APPROACHING A TRAIN CROSSING, JUST BEFORE CROSSING THE TRACKS, MY CAR WENT LIMP AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 5-10MPH SO WHEN MY CAR STOPPED, PART OF MY CAR WAS OVER THE TRAIN TRACKS. I COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MINUTE WHILE I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF, INCLUDING OPENING THE CAR DOOR TO SHUT THE COMPUTER OFF. THEN AFTER RESETTING THE CAR, IT STRUGGLED TO START UP BUT STARTED AND DROVE AS USUAL. WITHIN THE LAST TWO DAYS, MY CAR SHUT DOWN DURING DRIVING 5 TIMES AND WHEN RE-STARTING, IT DID NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE ICON TURNED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE CODE. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH AVERAGE MILEAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A TRAIN AND I WAS IN A STATE OF PANIC. *TR
VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE STALLING OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND NO RPM MOVEMENT. AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. MUST PULL OVER AND TURN ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART TO CORRECT. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UPON RESTART BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. THIS PROCESS OFTEN HAS TO REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF A SINGLE TRIP. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL AUTO CARE SHOP ON 8/1/13 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY IS MALFUNCTIONING. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART FROM FORD AND IT COULD TAKE UP TO A MONTH TO GET THE PART IN. THE QUOTE FOR THE REPAIR WAS $420 (INCLUDING THE COST OF LABOR). UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE OVER THE INTERNET IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OVER 725,000 COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER THE SAME ISSUE ON THE FORD ESCAPES, YET NO RECALL HAS TAKEN EFFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND STOP. ENGINE DID NOT QUIT RUNNING, JUST NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN GAS PEDDLE IS PUSHED. SHUT OFF ENGINE, THEN RESTARTED IT THEN RAN FIND FOR A WHILE, THEN DOES IT AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ON THE 30 MILE DRIVE HOME THIS OCCURRED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. MY MECHANIC IS REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AS I'M WRITING THIS. AS I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET AROUND I CAN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL..MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IN MY CASE THE THROTTLE BODY STUCK CLOSED.

WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE 6 MILES FROM HOME, VEHICLE BEGAN STUMBLING AND WOULD HARDLY RUN. MADE IT OUT OF 4 LANE ROAD TO SAFETY. WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWED TILL ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF.

WIFE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL 7/28/2013 WHEN WE TRIED IT AGAIN. I CAN NOT DRIVE VEHICLE SINCE HAVING A STROKE BUT WAS WITH HER. WE DROVE VEHICLE TO YMCA AND IT WENT TO LIMPING AFTER 9 MILES, SHUT OFF AND LET SET FOR 5-6 MINUTES. VEHICLE RAN OK FOR AN ADDITIONAL 5 MILES TO Y. STARTED HOME AFTER 1 HOUR AT Y. VEHICLE RAN APPROX 5 MILES IN 45 AND 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT AREA. IT STARTED LIMPING APPROX. 500 FEET FROM STOP LIGHT. IT WENT IN LIMP MODE 4 MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MILES TO GET HOME. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT REAL HEAVY LATE IN AFTERNOON AND WE MADE IT HOME WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS; ONLY A VERY STRESSFUL RIDE HOME. VEHICLE NOW SHOWED ENGINE SYMBOL. WE READ THE FAULT CODE AND IT WAS P2111 OR FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH DEALER SAID WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36K. MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR STARTED TO DE-ACCELERATE. THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT RESPOND AND I WENT INTO LIMP MODE. CAR WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND - DIDN'T REGISTER ON THE COMPUTER AND WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. TEN DAYS LATER, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, THIS TIME IN THE CITY. DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD DEALERS IN THE AREA TOLD ME THERE WERE 3700 OF THESE PARTS ON BACK ORDER! GEE, MAYBE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MASSIVE NUMBERS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED. MY INCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE WRENCH LIT UP AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I CONTINUED TO HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SINCE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT, BUT DURING RUSH HOUR, I WOULD HAVE CREATED A PILE UP. THE CAR STARTED FINE ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, BUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM AND THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR OR DRIVE A CAR AROUND THAT COULD RANDOMLY STALL FOR THE NEXT WEEK.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE THE CAR LOSS ALL ACCELERATION. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED TWICE MORE. MY MECHANIC TOOK THE CAR & ATTACHED TO THE COMPUTER AND THE CODE P2112 APPEARED. HE CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND TOOK A TEST DRIVE. IT LOST ACCELERATION 10 MORE TIMES. THIS IS A DISGRACE AND THE PART MUST BE RECALLED BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY! *TR
WHILE DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY, JUST COMING OVER A HILL, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. MULTIPLE POWER LOSS SURGES AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO THE FORD ESCAPE WAS ALLOW TO COAST DOWN HILL TO THE NEXT EXIT RAMP. ONCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OFF RAMP, THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED. TO MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE WAY, THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT ANOTHER LIGHT WAS ALSO TURNED ON INDICATING SOMETHING MECHANICAL (TRANSMISSION) HAD ALSO FAILED. THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO MOVE IN 1ST GEAR TO CLEAR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TILL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. LATER THE MECHANIC READ THE TROUBLE CODES AND SAID THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER WAS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. FORTUNATELY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AND THERE WAS OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT THE FREEWAY WITHOUT CRASHING. *TR

IT ALSO HAS SPUTTERED ERRATICALLY SIMILAR TO A VERY BAD REPEATED MISFIRING UNTIL STOPPING AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF. IT DID THIS TWICE WITHIN A QUARTER MILE AND THEN RAN FINE FOR OVER 15 MILES THAT I DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO WANTED $107 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN I ALREADY HAD FIGURED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR 'SPECIALLY TRAINED' TECHNICIANS MAY FIND A DIFFERENT CAUSE THAN THE P2111 CODE I HAD READ WITH A SCANNER FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE SUGGESTED.

IT DID THIS TWICE WITHIN A QUARTER MILE AND THEN RAN FINE FOR OVER 15 MILES THAT I DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO WANTED $107 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN I ALREADY HAD FIGURED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR 'SPECIALLY TRAINED' TECHNICIANS MAY FIND A DIFFERENT CAUSE THAN THE P2111 CODE I HAD READ WITH A SCANNER FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE SUGGESTED. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED ADDRESSED BY FORD THINKING THAT THERE WAS A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MARCH OF 2010, AFTER THE OCTOBER 15TH, 2009 DATE THEY HAD STARTED USING THE NEW PART. *TR
DRIVING AT 55 MPH, CAR JERKED AND THE GAS PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND. COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN WITH OUT PROBLEM. SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN EXCEPT WITH A LARGE CEMENT TRUCK BEHIND ME. THE FORD DIED AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CEMENT TRUCK WAS ABLE TO GO INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE TO MISS ME. THE ESCAPE DID THE SAME SCENARIO TWICE ON THE WAY TO THE GARAGE. ( WITH OUT THE CEMENT TRUCK) THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION. *TR
7/16/13, WIFE DROVE HER CAR TO WORK, DROPPED MY SON OF AT MY MOTHER'S.

TURNED IT OFF, RE-STARTED, RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE, THEN STARTED SHAKING AND NO ACCELERATOR POWER. THIS CONTINUED EVERY QUARTER MILE FOR 4 MILES. FINALLY ON THE LAST SHUT DOWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE WITH NO RESPONSE.

I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, I PULLED OVER QUICKLY AND IT WAS BARELY RUNNING, THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING.

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AS I WAS LEAVING WORK. I'D JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. A WRENCH SYMBOL LIGHT CAME ON AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED IT OFF, LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND THEN RESTARTED MY CAR. I MADE IT ABOUT 7 MILES WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND USED MY PHONE TO GOOGLE THE SYMPTOMS ON A FORD FORUM. IT STATED THAT THERE WERE IN FACT SEVERAL INCIDENTS STATING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. AND THAT AFTER RESTARTING THEIR VEHICLES, IT RESETS ITSELF. SO I CONTINUED HOME. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT HOME ONLY NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. I CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED THERE WAS IN FACT AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AFFECTING SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO FORD WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS IN FACT THE THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, THIS PART IS NOW ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. I AM THE 13TH PERSON AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEEDING THIS PART IN ORDER TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND I REFUSE TO PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK IN THIS VEHICLE. THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAID THIS WAS A BAND AID FIX UNTIL THE PART CAME IN WHICH BY THE WAY HAS NO ETA.THIS BAND AID REPAIR LASTED LESS THAN 24 HOURS. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WILL COVER THIS REPAIR BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE FOR IT TO BE FIXED. WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE? THEY HAVE POSTED BULLETINS BUT STILL NO RECALL. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I'M HAVING TO DEPEND ON RIDES FROM FRIENDS TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, TO GET TO THE GROCERY STORE, TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN.

AS I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP POSITION SUCH AS A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT OR ACCELERATE TRYING TO GO UP AN INCLINE OR BRIDGE THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER.

FIRST IT STARTED WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I HAD THE CODES READ AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY SAW IT WAS AN "EVAP CENSOR" AND STATED THIS IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A GAS CAP LEAKING. WELL, THE ESCAPE WE HAVE DOESN'T HAVE A GAS CAP!!! IT'S ONE OF THOSE "QUICK FUEL, NASCAR TYPE SYSTEMS", WHERE THERE IS JUST A PLUG THAT RETRACTS WHEN YOU INSERT THE GAS NOZZLE AND RETRACTS WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED? SECONDLY, THE SURGING STARTED HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. I WOULD SLIDE THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, WHICH WOULD KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM LUNGING, BUT YOU COULD STILL SEE THE RPM'S REVVING UP AND DOWN. THIS ISSUE WENT ON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THIRDLY, IT IS NOW STALLING WHILE DRIVING 50 - 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT JUST TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE!!!

WHILE DRIVING OUR ESCAPE, YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ABOUT 6 DAY PERIOD. WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OUR VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD/HIGHWAY AND SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. IT DOES STARTS WORKING AGAIN BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WE TOOK IT TO HARROLD ZEIGLERS IN KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN, AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND THERE WAS 8013 OF THEM ON BACK ORDER AND NO ETA ON WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME STORY.[XXX], AND [XXX] WERE THE FIRST TO AGENTS I SPOKE WITH. I TOLD THEM THAT THEIR ANSWERS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THEIR MANAGER. HE CALLED ME BACK 2 HOURS LATER(TERRY BADGE#62889) AND HE TOLD ME THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE I HAD TOO MANY MILES ON MY ESCAPE(75000) WHICH I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERVISOR. HE TOLD ME HIS BOSS WOULD GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER. I ASKED HIM IF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY COMMISSION WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HE SAID THEY WERE AND THAT MY ISSUE AND CONVERSATION WOULD ALSO BE REPORTED. I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE CURRENTLY 8013 ON BACK ORDER. I WONDER HOW MANY HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE ELSE OR MY WIFE AS SHE IS THE DRIVER OF OUR ESCAPE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I MADE A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ACCELERATING AND SHIFTING BUT SUDDENLY JUST STARTED "CHUGGING" AND BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, ALMOST AS IF THE BRAKE WERE ON. I GOT AS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD AS I COULD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LOOKED UP THE SYMBOL (WRENCH) IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAID "POWERTRAIN FAULT" CALL YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER. IT WAS TERRIFYING BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN THE DARK! I HAD MY HAZARD FLASHERS ON AND WHEN I CALLED MY SON HE ASKED IF I COULD START THE CAR AND GET OFF THE STREET. IT DID START UP AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT ABOUT A 100 FEET BEFORE IT STARTED "CHOKING UP" AGAIN. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DID THAT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND OFF THE STREET. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MAY AT THE THREE YEAR POINT. FORD SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL BE ABOUT $400 TO REPAIR; THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION AND MY INSURANCE WON'T COVER A RENTAL UNLESS I AM IN A COLLISION. IRONICALLY, HAD I TURNED LEFT WHEN I LEFT THE DRUGSTORE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE MAIN STREET IN TOWN AND BETWEEN A STRIP SHOPPING CENTER AND THE MALL AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK! FROM WHAT THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF, BUT THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND COVER THE COST OF A RENTAL FOR POSSIBLY SEVERAL WEEKS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT KEEP THE PART IN STOCK. INSULT AND INJURY! I AM SINGLE AND DO NOT HAVE ANYONE TO CHAUFFEUR ME. MY SON PICKS ME UP AT WORK, I DROP HIM OFF AND KEEP HIS TRUCK SO I CAN SHOP OR GO TO EAT AND I PICK HIM UP IN THE MORNING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, AS I COULD HAVE BEEN!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPUTTERING AND THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD BARELY MOVE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS DIAGNOSED INITIALLY AS THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN. IT WAS CLEANED. I DROVE IT AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER IT LOST ACCELERATION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT A TRAVELING SPEED OF 65 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER 3 TIMES AND RESTART IT TO GET IT TO A CAR REPAIR PLACE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR MOTOR. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS P2111. I ASKED FOR THE OLD PART AND IT DID NOT LOOK WORN OR DAMAGED. THE REPEATED LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR CREATED A GREAT RISK TO MY SAFETY AND THOSE OF THE OTHER MOTORISTS AROUND ME. THE SERVICE MAN AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THEY WERE SEEING A NUMBER OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS INVOLVING THIS PART WITH FORD ESCAPES. THE TOTAL COST FOR BOTH SERVICE VISIT WAS $465.00. *TR

ACCELERATED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. EVER TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS "CHOKING" AND WANTED TO STALL. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PRESS ON THE GAS TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING.

WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND COMES TO A SLOW STOP. YOUR ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON FIRST.

I TRAVEL ABOUT 6 MILES AND THE CAR STOPS AGAIN, THIS TIME JERKING BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I STOP THE CAR AND FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS ON TURNING IT BACK ON. I AM STILL ABLE TO BREAK AND STEER OFF OF ROADS. HOWEVER, NOT WITH MUCH TIME BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPS. I TOOK IT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND GOT THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED.

I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL ON TO A SIDE-ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, WHICH MADE THE SHAKE BECOME WORSE. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED ONE MINUTE, TURNED IT ON, AND IT SEEMED TO BE FINE.

FOR A COUPLE WEEKS PREVIOUS TO THE FINAL INCIDENT, WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR WOULD STUTTER THEN TURN OFF...ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING 80MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FINAL TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AND THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING, THEN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO A TURN-OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE YELLOW WRENCH. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND PUSHED IT THE REMAINING WAY. FORD IS SAYING IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND THE PART IS ON AN EMERGENCY NATIONWIDE BACKORDER WHICH MAY TAKE 3 WEEKS TO 6 MONTHS TO GET THE PART...AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR,' ACCORDING TO FORD.

DRIVING 60MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN FORD ESCAPE BUCKED, SLOWED, DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS WAS APPLIED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD WHERE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND DIED. RESTARTED TRUCK, DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES WHEN SAME OCCURRED. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. I ASSUMED I HAD BOUGHT GAS WITH WATER IN IT "BAD GAS". SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE USED A PRODUCT TO REMOVE WATER FROM THE GAS, THIS ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD ON JULY 5TH, I BELIEVE ITS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE IN MY SUV. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS ENGINE BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS, I HAVE VISIONS OF SOMEONE PLOWING INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHILE MY ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST IDLING I NOTICE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE/SPUTTER/HESITATE, LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL TO THE ENGINE TO IDLE, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT IT DID NOT STALL OUT COMPLETELY IT WOULD RECOVER. THEN WHILE DRIVING HOME ON JUNE 23, 2013 AT 40MPH I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL FOR A SECOND TO BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CHANGED BEFORE I GOT TO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN THE CAR MADE A SHUTTER/THUD NOT A LOUD SOUND BUT YOU KNEW SOMETHING HAS JUST HAPPENED, I THOUGHT MAYBE MY TRANSMISSION HAD JUST GONE OUT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT DID NOT RESPOND. I PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I COULD NOT TELL IF THE CAR REALLY STALLED OUT IT SEEMED MORE LIKE THE GAS PEDAL WAS JUST NOT RESPONDING. I LOST SPEED RAPIDLY AND COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE FIRST TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR THE GAS PEDAL STILL DID NOT WORK BUT THE CAR DID GO INTO GEAR SO I THOUGHT IT MUST NOT BE THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR I GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A COUPLE OF PUMPS BEFORE PUTTING INTO GEAR TO MAKE SURE IT WAS RESPONDING THAT WORKED AND I MADE IT HOME. THE CAR DID HESITATE AND SPUTTER WHEN I WAS SITTING STILL AT THE LIGHTS SO I WOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND REV THE ENGINE UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND OF COURSE THAT IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AS MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. HOW MANY OF THESE COMPLAINT HAVE TO BE FILED BEFORE FORD HAS TO ADMIT THIS IS THERE FAULT FOR PUTTING FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES IN THESE CARS AND ISSUES A RECALL ? *TR
WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROX. 15MPH, ENGINE STALLED AND ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF STREET, SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED.

RESTARTED TRUCK, DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES WHEN SAME OCCURRED. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. I ASSUMED I HAD BOUGHT GAS WITH WATER IN IT "BAD GAS". SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE USED A PRODUCT TO REMOVE WATER FROM THE GAS, THIS ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD ON JULY 5TH, I BELIEVE ITS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE IN MY SUV. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS ENGINE BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS, I HAVE VISIONS OF SOMEONE PLOWING INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHILE MY ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST IDLING I NOTICE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE/SPUTTER/HESITATE, LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL TO THE ENGINE TO IDLE, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT IT DID NOT STALL OUT COMPLETELY IT WOULD RECOVER. THEN WHILE DRIVING HOME ON JUNE 23, 2013 AT 40MPH I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL FOR A SECOND TO BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CHANGED BEFORE I GOT TO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN THE CAR MADE A SHUTTER/THUD NOT A LOUD SOUND BUT YOU KNEW SOMETHING HAS JUST HAPPENED, I THOUGHT MAYBE MY TRANSMISSION HAD JUST GONE OUT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT DID NOT RESPOND. I PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I COULD NOT TELL IF THE CAR REALLY STALLED OUT IT SEEMED MORE LIKE THE GAS PEDAL WAS JUST NOT RESPONDING. I LOST SPEED RAPIDLY AND COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE FIRST TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR THE GAS PEDAL STILL DID NOT WORK BUT THE CAR DID GO INTO GEAR SO I THOUGHT IT MUST NOT BE THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR I GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A COUPLE OF PUMPS BEFORE PUTTING INTO GEAR TO MAKE SURE IT WAS RESPONDING THAT WORKED AND I MADE IT HOME. THE CAR DID HESITATE AND SPUTTER WHEN I WAS SITTING STILL AT THE LIGHTS SO I WOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND REV THE ENGINE UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND OF COURSE THAT IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AS MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. HOW MANY OF THESE COMPLAINT HAVE TO BE FILED BEFORE FORD HAS TO ADMIT THIS IS THERE FAULT FOR PUTTING FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES IN THESE CARS AND ISSUES A RECALL ? *TR
WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROX. 15MPH, ENGINE STALLED AND ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF STREET, SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED. ENGINE RAN FINE FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS AND THEN SAME EVENT OCCURRED WITH WIFE DRIVING. ONE WEEK LATER, DID SAME THING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORD DEALER HAS CAR NOW AND SAYS THEY ARE WAITING FOR A THROTTLE BODY. CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR OVER 1 WEEK SO FAR. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ENGINE REVS UP AND LOSSES POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GEAR. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED AND STANDING, I NEED TO SHUT OFF THE MOTOR AND RESET IT AS TO SPEAK. THE FORD DEALER HAS SAID THAT IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR THAT I MAY BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY FOR THROTTLE BODY FAILURES AND THERE IS A CURRENT NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THEM. *TR
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND REQUIRED A RESTART IN ORDER TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE ISSUE. IN ALL INSTANCES, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND STRUGGLED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THROUGH 36K MILES. *TR
DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. SUDDENLY, COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE, DESPITE ENGINE STILL RUNNING AT ROUGH IDLE. HAD TO DRIFT TO SIDE OF ROAD. HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. TO CONTINUE, WE HAD TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE. WE RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE SYMPTOM REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO THE CAR DEALER. WE TOOK IT THERE BECAUSE WE FEARED FOR OUR SAFETY. OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR A REPLACEMENT PART FOR OVER A WEEK. THIS MALFUNCTION SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN URGENT SITUATION, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATORY. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT NOTICE THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND DEPRESSING ACCELERATED DID NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE CAR CONTINUED TO IDLE ROUGHLY WITH THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS.

WHILE AT SPEED OR SLOWER DRIVING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOOSES ALL POWER. NORMALLY IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN (IDLE), BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, LEAVING DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS ONLY ABLE TO COAST TO A PLACE OF SAFETY IF CAR IS MOVING.

PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR 2 TO 4 WEEKS OR LONGER AND THE VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (DETROIT) SAYS THE PART IN QUESTION IS SUPPLIED BY A VENDOR AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND, BUT FORD OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE IN TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR WITH THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE PART (MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 45 DAYS EVEN THOUGH BY MILES WOULD STILL BE IN WARRANTY).

NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR FORD ESCAPE ON JUNE 1ST, 2010, WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SURGE WHEN STARTING OFF AND HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO FILED A REPORT (ODI # 10520754) FOR THE ENGINE GOING TO IDLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDING REPLACING. FROM A DEAD STOP, WHEN WE WANT TO JUST MOVE UP A LITTLE BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF US HAS, WE HAVE PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN BRAKE AND THE CAR SURGES FORWARD LIKE I MASHED THE GAS HARDER. SEVERAL TIMES, THIS HAS CAUSED US TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US BUT RARELY CAUSING DAMAGE. THE SURGING HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 150 TIMES OVER THE 3 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE BUMPED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US ABOUT 10 TIMES ONLY CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE AND NEVER FILED ON ANY INSURANCE. THE FORD DEALER IN MEMPHIS (DOBBS FORD WOLFCHASE) TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. THIS WAS OUR FIRST FWD VEHICLE WE HAVE OWNED SINCE 1994.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-40 IN EASTERN ARKANSAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE WENT TO IDLE SPEED. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ON. CAR CONTINUED TO COAST AND BEGAN SLOWING DOWN.

WAITED ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND STARTED ENGINE. WRENCH LIGHT WAS GONE. PUT CAR IN GEAR AND EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE. COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND GOT TO DESTINATION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON 5/31/13.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE 6 CYC WITH 4 WD. THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED IN EARLY 2010 AS IT HAD 4.7 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED AND I PUT MOST OF THOSE MILES ON IT DURING THE TEST DRIVE. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED RECENTLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS NO GAS PEDAL IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. NO SHUDDERING, OR CHUGGING AFTER THIS OCCURRED AND ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AT ALL BEFORE IT OCCURRED. IT WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE MY WAY ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE NEVER SHUT OFF WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED, AND THEN RESTARTED AND IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS BAD WHICH THEY REPLACED. I QUESTIONED AS TO HOW A BATTERY COULD CAUSE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AS I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE VEHICLE MECHANICS AND MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND I WAS ASSURED THAT BATTERY WAS MOST CERTAINLY THE ISSUE DUE TO THE COMPLEX NATURE OF VEHICLES TODAY AND THEIR ON BOARD COMPUTERS. WHEN THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MY WIFE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD JUST ENTERED THE INTERSTATE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED WHERE AN ACCIDENT WAS ALMOST CAUSED BY HER EFFORTS TO EXIT THE ROAD. AGAIN NO WARNING. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED IT WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY, IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT IN FACT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MY RESEARCH HAD SHOW IT TO BE, AND MORE SO, THE PART, WHICH IS SOMEHOW NOT A SAFETY RECALLED ITEM BY THE NHTSA, IS ON BACK-ORDER BY FORD BECAUSE OF THE SHEAR NUMBER OF THESE PARTS GOING BAD AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN SO MANY VEHICLES.

WHEN THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MY WIFE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD JUST ENTERED THE INTERSTATE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED WHERE AN ACCIDENT WAS ALMOST CAUSED BY HER EFFORTS TO EXIT THE ROAD. AGAIN NO WARNING. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED IT WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY, IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT IN FACT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MY RESEARCH HAD SHOW IT TO BE, AND MORE SO, THE PART, WHICH IS SOMEHOW NOT A SAFETY RECALLED ITEM BY THE NHTSA, IS ON BACK-ORDER BY FORD BECAUSE OF THE SHEAR NUMBER OF THESE PARTS GOING BAD AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN SO MANY VEHICLES. I NOW OWN A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE OPERATED SAFELY WITHOUT A SAFETY RECALL. *TR
VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING TURNS. *TR
VEHICLE SURGES AND THEN DIES WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. VEHICLE WILL INSTANTLY RESTART AFTER PLACING IT IN PARK. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT VEHICLE HAS CONSTANTLY GOTTEN WORSE. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND ORDERED NEW PART WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER. UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE IT IS SUBJECT TO DIE AT ANYTIME. *TR
VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. VEHICLE RESTARTED AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE TWO MORE TIMES IN A 40 MILE TRIP.

DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION, STALLING, AND THE THROTTLE/POWER TRAIN INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. THE CARE DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MORE MILES AND THEN THE ISSUE RECURRED. I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED). DURING THAT TRIP, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY/FAILED THROTTLE BODY BUT THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY WITH NO WORD FROM FORD AS TO WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. *TR
I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 60 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE WARNING INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL/POWERTRAIN CAME ON. I TURNED THE MOTOR OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND I PROCEEDED TO WORK WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND TALKING TO MY DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY PART AND IS ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER" AND WILL BE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN GET THE PART IN. ON THE SAME DAY, ON THE DRIVE FROM HOME FROM WORK, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME AT ABOUT 35 MPH IN TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS RIGHT ON MY BUMPER AT THE TIME. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT JUST SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. *TR

I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL TO THE ENGINE THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I COASTED TO A STOP TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WAITED A FEW MINUTES TURNED THE CAR ON IT SEEMED FINE SO I FINISHED MY ERRAND. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS GOING APPROX. 50MPH ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER (I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY) THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $900.00 TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AS RECOMMENDED BY FORD BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE BODY PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WERE NOT SURE WHEN THEY COULD GET ONE. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. *TR
I WAS TRAVELING 60MPH, CAR SUDDENLY STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. GAS PADDLE DID NOT RESPOND. ENGINE LIGHT & WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT. STOPPED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY & TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAITED COUPLE OF MINS AND START AGAIN. NO WRENCH LIGHT BUT ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. NOW THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JUST LOST ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. JUST TODAY WE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD DEALER TELLS ME THERE WAS NO CODE SO THEY CAN'T ORDER THE PART. HOWEVER, THEY BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BODY IS BAD BUT NEED THE CODE TO BE SURE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THIS. THEY TELL TO JUST RESTART AND KEEP GOING SOONER OR LATER IT WILL TO START AND THEY CAN FIX IT. I AM GOING ON VACATION TOMORROW JUST WHAT I NEED IS THIS TO FAIL AT THE WRONG TIME. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. SURE SEEMS TOYOTA WASN'T GIVEN THIS MUCH LEEWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. *TR

EVEN THOUGH THAT HAD HAPPENED SOME MONTHS BEFORE BUT STOPPED, IT DID IT AGAIN IN JANUARY OF 2013. THE VEHICLE STALLED UNABLE TO BE ACCELERATED, THE WRENCH SIGN APPEARED AND ALL I COULD DO WAS COAST IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. SINCE THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO FORD TO HAVE IT FIX. I TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS AND THEY CONFIRMED IT. THE REPAIRED WAS $304. SINCE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS EXISTING PROBLEM WITH THE ESCAPES, THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PART AND PAY YOU FOR THE REPAIR. I LIKE THE ESCAPE BUT I THINK FORD HAS NOT BEEN PROACTIVE IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

INTERMITTENT VEHICLE STALLS AND SURGES UPON ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY INTERMITTENT AND CONTINUED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNDER THIS CONDITION.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY DRIVING UNDER HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE.

THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THE INITIAL FAILURE OR PRIOR TO SUBSEQUENT FAILURES, ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SURGING DID THE CHECK ENGINE/MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS BEGIN TO ILLUMINATE.

WAS DRIVING AT SPEED OF 65 ON HWY ON 5/3/2013 WHEN VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE CAME ALMOST TO COMPLETE STOP ALTHOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY DEPRESSED.

THEY SUGGESTED I CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART WHICH I DID, WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT AND WAS THEN ABLE TO PROCEED HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD MOTOR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME THERE HAVE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH MAKE/MODEL. TALKED TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND LEARNED ACCORDING TO A TECHNICAL BULLETIN THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODY OF 2010 FORD ESCAPES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 2009 TO OCTOBER 2009. THIS PROBLEM PART WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED ON MODELS MANUFACTURED AFTER THAT TIME. MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER 2009.

2010 FORD ESCAPE XLT CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES OF "STALLING IN MOTION" WITH NO WARNING. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT THE VEHICLE WILL COAST TO SHOULDER OR A PARKING LOT. IF WE DRIVE ON INTERSTATE WE ONLY TRAVEL IN THE RIGHT LANE IN CASE WE HAVE TO COAST OFF. VEHICLE THEN IDLES ROUGHLY AT ABOUT 800 RPM. VEHICLE HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK AND SHUT-OFF. THEN RESTART SO FAR MAKES VEHICLE GO AGAIN SOMETIMES. VEHICLE MAY HAVE TO BE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET MOVING AGAIN. HOWEVER, THIS IS GETTING MORE COMMONPLACE AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUR YOUNG INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTREME SAFETY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS PLACING A HUGE BURDEN ON OUR FAMILY AS WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT FORD DEALER DUE TO THE HIGH EXPENSE INVOLVED. VEHICLE HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH P2111 CODE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHICH SPECIFICALLY ISOLATES THE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION. THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED BY FORD BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS AS IT WILL OCCUR SOON ESPECIALLY ON INTERSTATES OR HIGHWAYS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING FROM CENTRAL FL TO ASHEVILLE, NC. MY 3.0 LITR ESCAPE BASICALLY LOST ALL POWER A TOTAL OF 6 DIFFERENT TIMES ON INTERSTATES 95 AND 26 BETWEEN SAVANNAH, GA AND COLUMBIA, SC. DRIVING ALONG AT POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT, ENGINE WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY START LOSING POWER AND EVENTUALLY COME TO A STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TACHOMETER INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT ABOUT 1000 RPM, BUT IT WOULD NOT TAKE AND THOTTLE AND BARELY MOVE. SWITCHING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING, RESET SOMETHING AND ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY BUT ONLY FOR ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS WAS A SATURDAY ABOUT NOON AND CALLING SEVERAL FORD DEALERS WAS USELESS AS MOST SAID THEY WERE GETTING READY TO CLOSE, OR COULD NOT LOOK AT IT UNTIL MONDAY. NOT WANTING TO RUIN OUR VACATION, WE TRIED TO CONTINUE WITH THE ABOVE SCENARIO REPEATING ITSELF AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES, EACH TIME GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS, AS TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND EACH TIME THE ENGINE WOULD LOSE POWER INSTANTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BEFORE WE COULD GET OFF THE ROAD INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. FINALLY CALLED A FORD DEALER IN COLUMBIA, SC THAT WAS OPEN TILL 4PM. AND SAID THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT. MADE IT THERE AT 3:30 PM AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE TROUBLE AS A CODE P2111 THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK AND $326 LATER WE WERE ON OUR WAY. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 41K MILES.

THIS IS ABOUT THE 10TH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. IN EVERY CASE THE CAR STOPS ACCELERATING AND THE CAR DROPS INTO IDLE WITH THE RPM'S RANGING FROM 900-1100. SHIFTING GEARS DOES NOT HAVE AN EFFECT AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO TURN IN BACK ON.

THAT EVENING, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE PASSING LANE GOING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH WHEN THE CAR SORT OF LURCHED AND THEN THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR INSTANTLY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT LANE, WHICH WAS HORRIBLY DANGEROUS, AND THEN PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT. IT TOOK A SECOND, BUT THE CAR RESTARTED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF, SO I GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN. THAT EVENING I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT WAS WHEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION STARTED BY THE NHTSA IN REGARDS TO THAT VERY SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED ANYMORE AND I AM AT THE MERCY OF THE CARS ALL AROUND ME. I COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT DAY. THEN, ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON A BUSY CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. FINALLY, YESTERDAY MORNING, MARCH 20TH, IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES, BUT THEY SAID THEY THINK ITS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT $300 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE CONCLUDED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE IT HAPPENS AT FASTER SPEEDS, WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR
2010 FORD ESCAPE XLT (V6) IS HAVING REPEATED INCIDENTS (AT RANDOM INTERVALS) OF THROTTLE FAILURES. VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAS NO "GAS PEDAL", IDLES ROUGHLY (800 TO 1000 RPM) AND HAS TO BE COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. ONLY WAY TO RESET IS TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF (DANGEROUS ON INTERSTATES OR IF IN LEFT LANE AND NO PLACE TO PULL OFF), RESTART AND MOST CASES THE PROBLEM IS ELIMINATED FOR HOURS, DAYS OR MORE. SOMETIMES IT CAN OCCUR MANY TIMES WITHIN A SHORT DRIVE PERIOD AND THEN GO AWAY FOR HOURS OF ISSUE-FREE DRIVING. ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT (WRENCH) CAME ON ONE DAY AFTER SOME EXTREMELY ROUGH IDLING CAUSED BY ISSUE (ENGINE BUCKED A BIT) AND SERVICE STATION READ COMPUTER ANALYSIS AS "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM" WAS STUCK OPEN AND CLOSED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS AND THAT I SHOULD PROCEED TO MY FORD DEALER ASAP. I TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER (3/20/13) AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE THROTTLE BODY SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT SAID NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS FOR A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD EXPECT A MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AND SHOCKED AT THEIR NONCHALANCE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WENT HOME AND GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND I SEE MANY ARTICLES AND AGENCIES LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM SO APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT ALLOWING THE MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED BY FORD AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR LAWSUIT (INJURY OR EVEN FATALITIES) DUE TO THE SAFETY OF HAVING TO "LIMP OFF" A BUSY ROADWAY WITH NO WARNING AND BECOMING A TARGET. *TR
VEHICLE'S THROTTLE STOPPED WORKING IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 35 MPH AND HAD TO COAST VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD WHERE ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGHLY BUT NO RESPONSE TO PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL. VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THROTTLE WORKING AGAIN. VEHICLE EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES OVER LAST 30 DAYS (EVEN AT 65 MPH WE LOST THROTTLE ON INTERSTATE AND HAD TO COAST OFF IN TRAFFIC). WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE STATION WHICH READ COMPUTER READING AND SAID "THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I SHOULD GO TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ASAP AS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT ITS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AND THAT IT WOULD BE $399 TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WILL NOT LET MY FAMILY DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL FORD FIXES THIS ISSUE AT FORD'S EXPENSE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING A LOT TO MANY OWNERS. THIS NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE MANDATE BY NHTSA TO FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. *TR

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WERE TIMES THAT I WAS GOING 45-55MPH AND MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL. I LOST POWER STEERING AS VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. THIS HAPPENED PROBABLY 10-15 TIMES UNTIL I COULD NO LONGER GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. I HAD IT TOWED INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. I FIRST TOOK IT BY AN ADVANCE AUTO TO CHECK THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE THAT CAME UP I BELIEVE WAS 9000. IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM CONCERNS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PUT A THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY PART ON IT. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. THEY ALSO DID AN EEC TEST P2111 AND FOUND ETB TO BE AT FAULT AND REPLACED. I HAD TO PAY $356.52 INCLUDING LABOR FOR THIS. I FEEL FROM READING OTHER INFORMATION ON 2010 FORD ESCAPES THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH STALLING. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES. *TR

ON JUNE 15, 2012, THE 2010 FORD ESCAPE WITH 29321 MILES LOST POWER (I.E. NO GAS, BUT ELECTRONICS REMAINED ON) WHILE MERGING ONTO A CROWDED HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH. AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVOIDED. ERROR LIGHTS WERE LIT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART.

I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ESCAPE'S AND FUSION'S. THERE WERE 3 ESCAPES TODAY HAVING THE SAME PART REPLACED. NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND $300.

I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE PAST ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I VERY SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I HAD TO GLIDE ACROSS 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR IDLED A LITTLE ROUGH, I TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN IT RAN FINE AND THE ACCELERATOR WORKED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS EVENT AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A NORMAL ROAD, THE VEHICLE'S WRENCH LIGHT (ON THE DASH) ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THAT IS, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR YIELDED NO RESULTS. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A SHUDDERING STALL-OUT (ENGINE SHUT DOWN) WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE RESULTED IN A CLICKING NOISE. THE ENGINE STARTED WITHOUT FAULT ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND THE FOLLOWING TWO DAYS. ON THE 4TH DAY, THE INCIDENT REPEATED. NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS ARE SHORT (10 TO 15 MINUTES) ONE-WAY TRIPS. FORD TECHNICIANS FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STICKING IN CLOSED POSITION. A NEW THROTTLE BODY WAS INSTALLED. *TR

THE PROBLEM WAS RANDOMLY DEMONSTRATED SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN 8/31/12 AND 9/4/12. THE ACCELERATOR WOULD SEEM TO STOP WORKING OR BECOME UNRESPONSIVE, MOST OFTEN AT SPEEDS OF 20-30 MPH. THERE WOULD BE SPUTTERING, STALLING, AND THEN TOTAL STOPPAGE.. THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE NO FUEL FLOW. I WOULD TURN IT OFF, WAIT SEVERAL SECONDS, RESTART IT, AND EVERYTHING WOULD WORK SMOOTHLY UNTIL, WITH NO WARNING, THE PATTERN WOULD REPEAT ITSELF. IT OCCURRED FIVE TIMES /3 MILES, TWO TIMES/1 MILE, AND TWO TIMES/0.5 MILE. EARLY ON 9/4, THE PATTERN REPEATED THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THESE INCIDENTS PRODUCED ANXIETY FOR ME AND I WAS GOING SLOW. WE DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS WE WERE CONCERNED THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WHEN WE WOULD BE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS.THE ERROR TROUBLE CODES WERE PO685, P2111, P2112. HE SAID THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED. SINCE THE MECHANIC REPORTED "THROTTLE BODY" BEING THE PROBLEM I RESEARCHED THE THROTTLE BODY AS IT RELATES TO THE FORD ESCAPE. IT CAUSES ME GREAT CONCERN THAT THIS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE A DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM ON THE ESCAPE SINCE 2000 AND I BOUGHT 3 NEW ESCAPES WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD; A 2002, A 2007, AND THE 2010 ESCAPE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO EFFECTIVE, CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THERE WILL BE NO REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $475.00 AND THIS PART IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH THE MONEY IS AN ISSUE, THE GREATER ISSUE IS THE NEED TO PREVENT FUTURE DEATHS. I HAVE THE OLD PART THAT WAS REPLACED AND I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO FORCE THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED.IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY I URGE YOU TO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR (GAS) PEDAL RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER TO THE ENGINE. ACCELERATOR IS UNRESPONSIVE AND VEHICLE WILL SPUTTER/CRAWL TO 5 MPH UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND CAR RESTARTED. AFTER RESTART, VEHICLE RUNS NORMAL UNTIL PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN (SOMETIMES WITHIN MINUTES). PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AS LITTLE AS 1 TIME PER TRIP TO AS MANY AS 8 TIMES IN A 25 MINUTE COMMUTE. PROBLEM OCCURRED 12 TIMES THE OTHER DAY WITH MANY OF THEM ON A MULTILANE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WITH NOWHERE TO QUICKLY PULL-OFF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCCURS ON THE INTERSTATE AND YOU QUICKLY HAVE TO MANEUVER TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL OFF THE ROAD OR RISK COMING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SOMETIMES RUN ROUGH AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE EMISSIONS. THE ERROR CODE FROM THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER IS P2112 WHICH IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED IT'S AN EXTREMELY COMMON AND VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

MULTIPLE NOISES STARTED TO OCCUR. THE FIRST WAS A CRACKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING, SECOND CAME A CLICKING NOISE WHILE BRAKING AND THEN A HOWLING SOUND. THE CRACKLING NOISE HAS YET TO BE DISCOVERED, THE CLICKING WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT AND ROTORS. THE HOWLING NOISE IS SUPPOSEDLY THE TRANSFER CASE. ADDITIONALLY, THE GEARS DO NOT SEEM TO CATCH BETWEEN 50-65MPH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VEHICLE JERKED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5 MPH. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT (FOR POWER TRAIN ISSUES) CAME ON. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED 10 MINUTE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE WRENCH LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IF OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED AND SINCE THE CAR WAS 4,500 OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY LIMIT IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. IF THE DRIVER WERE LESS EXPERIENCED AND HAD A FAILURE ON A BUSY FREEWAY AT NIGHT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. *TR
