MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE APRIL 2018. AFTER THE CAR STALLS, I AM ABLE TO RESTART IT AND IT RUNS AGAIN. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND PUT MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK.
THROTTLE BODY FAILED, RPM UP AND DOWN. LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING. REPALCED A NEW ONE FROM DEALERSHIP AND IT DOES NOT LAST FOR ONE YEAR. CAR ONLY 99000 MILES RIGHT NOW. NEW THROTTLE BODY LASTS 1290 MILES AND FAILED.
I HAVE A 2009FORD ESCAPE PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2014. LAST NIGHT WHEN DRIVING HOME MY CAR STALLED AS IF IT WERE NOT GETTING GAS. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. I CALLED FORD THIS MORNING AND THEY SAY THEY "CANNOT" DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE WINDOW TO GET THEM FIXED ENDED JANUARY 2015. IT INFURIATES ME THAT FORD AND NHTSA IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ISSUE A "TRUE RECALL" AND NOW REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!?!
WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND HARD TO TURN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN BACK ON. COUPLE OF TIMES IT HAPPENS ON THE EXPRESSWAY/AS WELL AS STREET DRIVING. IT'S HAPPENING VERY OFTEN NOW. WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING, SHAKING REAL BAD... *TR
