2010 Ford Escape Fuel System Problems

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.

When stopping for a red light, the engine shuts off. I can restart it. It has happened twice in a one year period . it is a Ford Escape 2010. Vin 1FMCU9DGXAKC64776

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel filler door would not open and the contact attempted to use a screwdriver to open the fuel filler door. The contact was not able to refuel the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer performed the recall repair for NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V777000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). However, the dealer did not have time to repair the fuel filler door. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

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.

LEAK GAS

IS IT COMMON FOR MY 2010 ESCAPE XLT TO HAVE A EVAP CODE READING HAVING A LARGE LEAK? CODE P0455

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 LEAKING ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FUEL NECK BROKE.

FUEL INLET LIGHT FUEL FILLER NECK DEFECTIVE CAUSING A GAS LEAK CAN NOT PUMP GAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, AN ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V777000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

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.

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.

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

VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY. AT A LIGHT, VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY, DASHBOARD WRENCH ICON LIGHT UP, AND ENGINE STALLED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN AND DRIVE TO DEALER. DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT.

WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON LOSING POWER STALLING FUEL BODY

CAP LESS FUEL SYSTEM INDICATES FAILURE ON WARNING SYSTEM. AFTER CONTINUING TO DRIVE ENGINE WARNING ELUMINATES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. DISPLAYS A ERROR CODE OF P2119. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL VALVE. THE SYMBOL OF A WRENCH IS ALSO DISPLAYED.

VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M TOLD THIS IS A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION DUE TO INTERNAL CONTAMINATION ON THE INTERNAL MOTOR CONTACTS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT TIME. FORD SENT ME TWO LETTERS ON THIS SUBJECT BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS THEY CAN SEE CODE. CODE IS ERASED WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF ACCORDING TO FORD.

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.

FUEL INLET LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH FORD. I NEED IT FIXED.

DRIVING AND VEHICLE "GULPED" AND SLOWED TO LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR. DUE TO TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET OFF ROADWAY. CALLED TOW TRUCK...$45.00 AND HAD TOWED TO CLOSE MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE "THROTTLE BODY WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY". VEHICLE HAS 84,872 MILES ON IT. THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND CLEARED CODES...$346.92. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. REPAIRS WERE MADE AT ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, 114 E AUSTIN, BOLIVAR, MO 65613 AND COMPLETED ON 5/9/2016

THE FUEL CANISTER ON THE 2010 FORD ESCAPE WILL BACKUP AND CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND RELEASE GAS FUMES AND COULD BE A POTENTIAL CALLS FOR A FIRE AND WHEN IT DOES THIS IT WILL RELEASE STRONG GAS SMELL. THIS WILL BE THE 2ND ONE ON THIS VEHICLE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE GOT SLUGGISH. WOULD ONLY GO 35 MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND TURN ON AND THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE SPEED LIMIT IS WELL OVER 35 AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER. WHEN I TOOK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED, IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS FIXED BUT WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I NOTICED THERE WERE MANY CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FUEL ODOR WAS NOTICED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 05/17/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. UPDATED 11/1/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT FUELING ISSUES. CHECK THE VENT VALVE ATTACHED TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I REPLACED ONE AND THE VEHICLE FUELS UP JUST GREAT. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER A FEW DAYS

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. I PUT IT IN PARK AND I TRY TO GIVE IT GAS AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE. I WILL SHUT IT OFF AND RE-START AND IT WILL BE FIND IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN 5 OR 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD OR IT MIGHT NOT TILL THE NEXT DAY. THE FIRST FEW TIME IT HAPPEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BUT NOW IT IS AND HAS STAYED ON. I SEE, LOOKING AT YOU TUBE AND A FEW OTHER SOURCES THAT THIS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE AND FORD HAS ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM OR RECALL. BUT I ALSO SEE THIS APPEARS TO BE FOR 4CYL ENGINES WHEREAS MINE IS A 6 CYL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK ROTTED OUT AND THE EVAP VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE. AS A RESULT, BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CAR DIED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE ENGINE CUT OFF. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP; I PUT IT IN PARK TO TRY AND START IT AGAIN, AND IT SEEMED TO STRUGGLE WHEN STARTING AS IF I WERE OUT OF GAS, BUT I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY TANK THAT MORNING. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND THERE WAS A STOP SIGN ABOUT 500 YARDS AWAY, AND AS SOON AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP AGAIN; THE ENGINE DIES. THIS TIME IT TOOK TWICE AS LONG AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. ALSO, WHEN I AM SITTING IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, THE RPMS WILL DROP VERY LOW AND START TO STALL OUT. I AM ABLE TO CATCH IT AND REV THE ENGINE TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING SOMETIMES. *TR

CAR IS STALLING AND LOCKING UP DUE TO FUEL LINE ISSUE. PER FORD SERVICE DEPT THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR TWO REASONS - STALLING AND POTENTIAL FIRE. *TR

INITIALLY, "WRENCH" ICON ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED ON AND THEN TURNED OFF. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO DEALER AND NO ISSUES FOUND AFTER COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. SUBSEQUENTLY WITHIN A WEEK, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND RPM GAUGE WAS FLUCTUATING ERRATICALLY. VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND TROUBLE CODE P2112 FOUND. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL'S THROTTLE BODY/MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT FORD WOULD ONLY REPLACE PART WHEN CODE WAS PRESENT. DEALER REPLACED PART AND WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND TROUBLE SEEMS TO HAVE GONE AWAY. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING WRITTEN TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE FOR OTHERS AND TO RECOMMEND THAT NHTSA REQUIRE FORD TO RECALL ALL MODELS IMPACTED AND REPLACE THIS PART REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CODE IS PRESENT. *TR

THE EASY FUEL CAPLESS FUEL FILLER CAP BROKE OFF INSIDE THE FUEL FILLER NECK. NOW GAS WILL ONLY GO IN VERY SLOWLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO VAPOR LEAK. WILL COST $400 PLUS TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUEL FILLER NECK. *TR

VEHICLE HAD EXITED FROM FREEWAY AND WAS STOPPED ON AN EXIT RAMP STOP LIGHT. WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED TO MOVE VEHICLE FROM STOPPED POSITION, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. INITIALLY, THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH AND THEN LATER, THIS DISAPPEARED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A NEARBY AUTO PARTS FACILITY WHERE A COMPUTER CODE EVALUATION WAS COMPLETED- THIS YIELDED THE SAME CODE APPEARING 3 TIMES: A PROBLEM INVOLVING THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM SENSOR. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM CODE APPEARS 3 TIMES DURING THE CHECK, THIS ACCURATELY PIN-POINTS THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2MONTHS AGO (APRIL 2014) AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROAD (NEW CIRCLE RD IN LEXINGTON KY)AT AROUND 60MPH DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE AROUND 8AM. THE VEHICLE SEEMINGLY STALLED BUT ALL THE SYSTEMS WERE FINE (STILL HAD POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, RADIO, BRAKING SYSTEM ETC) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ACCELERATOR WHICH DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINS & WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUE (THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME BACK ON). THE MOST RECENT DATE WAS 06/07/14 WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AS PASSENGERS. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT TURNING LEFT WHEN, AS PREVIOUSLY, THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS TURNING. AGAIN, ALL SYSTEMS REGISTERED AND WERE WORKING BUT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. AGAIN I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THIS TIME AFTER WAITING ROUGHLY 5 MINS AND TURNING THE ENGINE BACK ON, NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK OFF AND WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 5 MINS. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND AS MY HOME WAS NEARBY WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HOWEVER DID NOT GO OFF AS IT HAD PREVIOUSLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP ON 06/09/14 AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN TWO DAYS, I'M DRIVING ALONG WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL AND COAST, THE ENGINE DIES, THE DASH SHOWS THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHT. YOU CAN STILL STEER, BUT THE CAR SLOWS DOWN DRASTICALLY WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING, I HAD SOMEONE ALMOST REAR END ME, BECAUSE I SLOWED DOWN SO MUCH. ALL INCIDENTS WERE THE SAME, BUT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE CAR WILL START BACK UP IF YOU PARK IT OR PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, BUT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE THIRD TIME, STOPPED TRAFFIC CARS WERE HONKING AT ME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, TAKING IT IN TOMORROW TO GET IT FIXED, SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

ENTERING I-85 GOING WEST AT APPROX. 60MPH. APPROX 1/4 MILE THE CAR LOST POWER AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY. TRAFFIC WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AROUND ME AND I PUT ON MY BLINKER TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-45 JUST SOUTH OF DALLAS WHEN THE ENGINE LURCHED SLIGHTLY AND I LOST POWER. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DODGING TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS; GAS TANK WAS HALF FULL. ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 30 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE "REV" WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. AGAIN, I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES TO WHERE I FOUND A FORD DEALER. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GREAT AND FIXED THE VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE, INSTALLING A NEW THROTTLE BODY, THEY SAID UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE STALL OCCURS ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY LUCKY. *TR

CAR WOULD REDUCE SPEED ON ITS OWN NO WARNING,ALMOST GOT REARENDED AT A SPEED OF 55 DUE TO MY CAR LOSING SPEED EVEN HAS I WAS GIVING IT GAS. THEN TWO WEEKS LATER DID IT AGAIN TOOK TO A SHOP ON MAY 6 2014 AND THEY REPLACED A TBI UNIT SAID THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FORD WAS HAVING I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN 40 WEST AT 65MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR DECREASED ALMOST TO A STOP, A LIGHT CAME ON THAT LOOKED LIKE A WRENCH , I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAR WENT DEAD. I STARTED THE CAR UP, WE A FEW FEET IT DID IT AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, TOOK THE KEY OUT WAITED 5 MINUTES, IT DID IT AGAIN. THEN A FOURTH TIME, STOPPED, WAITED 30 MINUTES AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND CARS WERE HAVING TO SWERVE TO MISS ME AND I ENDED UP AGAINST THE WALL OF THE HIGHWAY. *JS

FIRST EVENT, 1/24/14: LOST ALL BUT 2% POWER (SURGED ALONG AT ~3MPH) WITH SEVERAL FLASHING LIGHTS IN DASH, VEHICLE LIMPED ONTO DRIVEWAY. RESTORED POWER BY RESTARTING VEHICLE A FEW TIMES, WARNING LITES OUT. SECOND EVENT, LATER SAME DAY: LOST ALL BUT 2% POWER IN OKC AT 70MPH AND LUCKILY WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AT THE TIME, LIMPED TO SHOULDER. I MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME, THIS FORD PROBLEM IS A LIFE THREATENING HAZARD. CALLED FORD AFTER RECEIVING 13N03 LETTER IN LATE JANUARY. 2/3/14 WAS INFORMED IF I CALLED CUSTOMER RELATIONS NUMBER THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT A COMMENT AGAINST MY VIN SO A DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX AT FORD COST. NO ECM CODES, MY COST. CONVERSATION WAS HELD WITH SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AT AUTONATION OF SOUTH FORT WORTH. THIRD EVENT: 4/23/14: LOST ALL BUT 2% POWER WITH ONLY THE WRENCH LIGHT FLASHING, RESTARTED VEHICLE AND LIGHT WENT OUT, POWER RESTORED - CHECKED ECM CODES AND THE CODE DID NOT STORE ON THE COMPUTER. WHY? CALLED 4/23 CUSTOMER RELATIONS NUMBER 800-392-3673 1-5-4 ATTEMPTING RESOLUTION. TALKED TO [XXX] WHO IN TURN TALKED TO [XXX], SERVICE PERSON AT AUTONATION OF SOUTH FORT WORTH. BUT SINCE THE CODE IS NOT RECORDED FORD WILL NOT FIND AN ISSUE - ALL COSTS WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. SO I AM LEFT WITH A DAILY DRIVER VEHICLE WITH A POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE - SAFETY HAZARD. I DRIVE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF, OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. BOTH [XXX] AND [XXX] DENIED ANYONE AT FORD CAN ADD COMMENTS TO VIN FOR PARTS REPLACED AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST OF DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUE AND FOLLOW ON REPAIR WITH NO CODES. I TOLD [XXX] THAT MY DRIVING IS SOMETIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING HAZARD, I ALSO REMINDED HER THIS CONVERSATION IS BEING RECORDED IN FORDS DATABASE. [XXX] DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. FIX OR REPAIR DAILY > FORD IS AN ACCURATE TERM FOR FORD PRODUCTS BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS - DANGER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON DEC.31 AT APPROXIMATELY 2 P.M. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON CITRUS AVE. I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND MY VEHICLE STARTED LOSING SPEED. I MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR IT RAN AS NORMAL. PRIOR TO THAT, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UPON STARTING FROM A STOP I HAD NOTICED FASTER ACCELERATION THAN THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS APPLYING TO THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

SPEED FROM 70 TO ZERO. FIRST TIME ON FREEWAY AGAIN IT HAPPEN MANY TIMES PULL OVER SHUTOFF ENG. RESTART. CALL FORD MOTOR AND DEALER BOTH SAY UNLESS THEY COULD GET THE CODE FROM ENG. NOT ONE THING COULD BE DONE.IT HAPPEN AGAIN MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP I WALKED OVER THERE THEY GOT THE CODE AND I TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP THEY PUT ON NEW THROTTLE BODY IT NOW RUNS GOOD BUT IS THIS PART GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS MY ESCAPE HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE I AM DRIVING OR AT A STOP LIGHT, AND WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A ROAD AND SUDDENLY MY CAR JOLTED AND ALMOST ALL OF MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP. THE ENGINE WAS ON, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND NOTHING, STILL. AS I WAS PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR DIED. I WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND THE ENGINE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE, BUT NOTHING AS SEVERE. *TR

ONE NIGHT I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MY CAR STARTED TO RUMBLE, IT SHOOK BACK AND FORTH AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO SPLUTTER. THEN, THE ENGINE CHOKED AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. LUCKILY, THIS HAPPENED BEFORE I ENTERED THE FREEWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BATTERY PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER THE CAR SHUT OFF I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES UNTIL IT STARTED TO STALL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT WITHIN A THIRTY MINUTE TIME FRAME. SO, I HAD TO WAIT A WHILE FOR MY ENGINE TO COOL DOWN. I TOOK IT TO GALPIN FORD MOTORS SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WENT BACK THE SECOND TIME TO GET MY VEHICLE RE-CHECKED AFTER TWO DAYS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND GALPIN FORD WAS STILL NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I RECENTLY JUST TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE MY CAR CHOKED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND I AM STILL DISAPPOINTED BY THE WAY GALPIN FORD SERVICES HANDLED THE SITUATION. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS AT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MAKE AND MODEL FOR INCIDENTS JUST LIKE MINE BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE FORD ESCAPE MODELS. *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. TODAY I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 2009-2010 ESCAPES, AND THE CONDITION IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. ADD MY NAME TO ONE OF THE LUCKY RECIPIENTS! *TR

AT NIGHT, WHILE STOPPED ON RED TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR CHANGE TO GREEN, THE VEHICLE STALLS AN SHUT OFF. DID NOT START RIGHT OVER UNTIL A WHILE. ALL DASHBOARD PANEL LIGHTS WERE ON. AFTER 45 MINUTES TRIED TO START IT AND IT JUST MOVE VERY, VERY SLOW AND DID NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL IT DIED AGAIN A 100 FEET FARTHER. WE CALL ROAD ASSISTANCE TO TAKE US HOME IN A TOWING TRUCK. AT THE OTHER DAY WE CALL THE TOWING TRUCK AGAIN TO TAKE THE SUV TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS IN WARRANTY, WHEN WE START IT BEFORE LEAVING IT WAS WORKING FINE. THE SERVICE TECH AT FORD TELL US THAT PROBABLY IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY SINCE OTHER PEOPLE HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY TEST IT AND THEY SAY THAT NOTHING IS WRONG... MY WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE PLAYING US TO TAKE THE UNIT HOME AND WHEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN CHARGE US FOR THE COST OF THE PART... $$$$ VERY EXPENSIVE!!! THIS IS A HAZARDOUS ISSUE SINCE IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR LOST OF LIFE. *TR

BEGAN AT IDLE AT STOP LIGHT/SIGN; RPMS GO UP/DOWN THEN STALL. THEN WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH, CAR DOES A "THUD", DOESN'T STALL, BUT GAS PEDDLE NO LONGER WORKS, YOU CAN PUSH IT TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS, COASTED OFF SIDE OF ROAD AND STOPPED. SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. 2ND TIME, WHILE GOING THREW A HUGE, BUSY INTERSECTION AT RUSH HOUR, CAR STARTED JERKING, GAS PEDDLE QUIT WORKING, ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED, WHOLE FAMILY WAS WITH ME; ROLLED OFF SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. WHEN TURNING KEY ON IT WOULD MAKE THE REPEATED START SOUND BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTED. WHEN THE "THUD" HAPPENS THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ELIMINATES ON MY DASH, BUT ONCE I SHUT OFF KEY AND RESTART, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT GOES AWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "CANISTER PURGE VALVE" THAT NEEDED REPLACING AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $390 TO FIX. I PAID THEM THE $92 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND MY HUSBAND PAID $42 FOR THE PART AND REPLACED IT HIMSELF. ONLY MY PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AS THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I CALLED FORD BACK TODAY EXPLAINING IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN TODAY WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT 15 MPH AND THEY THEN GUESSED IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BODY" AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW! MY FRIEND WITH SAME YR, MAKE AND MODEL OF ESCAPE WAS ON THE HWY AND IT HAPPENED LAST WEEK; SHE ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK!! *LN *TR

WAS TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE ESCAPE POWER QUIT EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. GOT IT PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THEN I LOOKED UP TO SEE WHAT THE WRENCH LIGHT MEANT WHICH WAS POWERTRAIN ISSUE, TOOK IT HOME ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID THINKING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS A LITTLE LOW. HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL 9/19/2013 WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 40MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. MY ESCAPE OF COURSE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE BUTLER COUNTY FOR NOW FOR 10 DAYS WAITING FOR THIS THROTTLE BODY TO COME IN SINCE IT IS ON BACK ORDER (AND FORD WONT DO A RECALL WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY VEHICLES THEY CANT GET THE PART) I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE (BORROWING THE PARENTS TO GET TO AND FROM WORK) AND THE PART IS STILL NOT IN AND I KEEP HEARING THAT IT IS ON ITS WAY. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE LAST 6 FORD PRODUCTS I HAVE OWNED BUT THIS IS PATHETIC THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

DRIVING ON NORTHERN STATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 - 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO SPUTTER AND LOST POWER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MANAGED TO GET ONTO SIDE OF HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. *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.

GOING AROUND A TURN, THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTED IT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND THE PART WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTINUED DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING THE PART REPAIRED, AND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. I WILL BE PAYING FOR THE REPAIR, BUT DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH FORD AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, AS I MASHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR WENT "LIMP" AS IF IT HAD CUT OFF BUT IT WAS STILL ON. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST BARELY AVOIDING BEING STRUCK BY SPEEDING TRAFFIC. I CUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED IT. I WAS ABLE DRIVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT AGAIN "WENT LIMP". AFTER MY CAR WAS EXAMINED, THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY HAD MALFUNCTIONED. *TR

CAR STALLED IN PARKING LOT, RESTARTED STALLED AGAIN. HAD TOWED TO DEALER, NO CODES SHOWED. THE MECHANIC DROVE CAR FOR ABOUT 100 MILES NO PROBLEM BUT SAID IT COULD BE THROTTLE BODY THEY HAVE SEEN THAT BEFORE. ON 9/15/2013 WAS DRIVING CAR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE SLOWLY. STOPPED SHUT OFF CAR RESTARTED BUT SAME THING. HAD CAR TOWED TOI SAME DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. LUCKLY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD WITH NO TRAFIC, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD.

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ONTO ENTRANCE RAMP OF FREEWAY WHEN THE POWER SUDDENLY CUT OUT AND THE CAR COASTED. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED A FORD DEALER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD A FAULT IN THE SYSTEM AND WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF NEARLY $300. *JB

I RECENTLY HAD AN INCIDENT ON 8/28/13 WITH A FUEL VAPOR LEAK. IT WAS FIXED ON 9/6/13. AS OF 9/17/13 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN.. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT AND HAVE NOT FIXED. SO NOW WHEN YOU HAVE A VAPOR LEAK & THEY REPLACE THE VAPOR SYSTEM, ITS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL TYPE SO IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN & AGAIN. WHY THEY DIDN'T FIX THE VAPOR SYSTEM ISSUE SO THERE WOULD BE A NEWER MODEL IS BEYOND ME. MY CAR LASTED LESS THAN A WEEK AND HALF BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DROVE TO WORK & IT WAS FINE. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK 3 HRS LATER & THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. HAD A SHOP READ THE CODE & IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE - P0456 IS THE CODE IN CASE ANYONE NEEDS TO KNOW. *TR

JUST STARTED TO PULL AWAY AND THE ACCELERATOR JUST STOPPED. THE PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. COASTED INTO A GAS STATION THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO US AND SHUT IT OFF. AFTER A RESTART IT WAS FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES SINCE THEN, SOMETIMES WHEN I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH. *TR

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.

TRAVERSE CITY MI DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH VEHICLE STARTED LOOSING POWER. PULLED OFF SIDE OF ROAD TRIED PUTTING IT IN REVERSE SINCE IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD SLOWLY WENT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. RAN VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON HESITATED TO START BUT DID. RAN A LITTLE ROUGH BUT THAN WENT FOR A MILE OR LESS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RAN VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AGAIN. . DID THE SAME AGAIN ROLLED TO A STOP. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON FINISHED GOING 5 MILES TO WORK. CALLED A WRECKER HAD TOWED TO FORD GARAGE. THEY SAID THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED PART WOULDN'T BE IN UNTIL TUESDAY DUE TO LABOR DAY. COST WOULD BE $503. TUESDAY TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BE HERE UNTIL 10:00 A.M. WEDNESDAY .CAR WOULD BE DONE BY NOON. CALLED AT 12:30 WEDNESDAY TOLD ME PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WON'T BE IN UNTIL OCTOBER,17 2013. *JB

I JUST EXITED THE PA TURNPIKE WHEN MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SPUTTER. THE RPMS WERE FLUCTUATING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT AM GLAD THIS HAPPENED AFTER I GOT OFF THE TURNPIKE WHERE I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND HAD NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF TO. IT HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND, AS I WAS TRAVELING APX 55 MPH ON PA RT 422 AND AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTY LINE RD AT APX. 40 MPH. EACH TIME THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. MY VEHICLE WOULD SPUTTER AND RPMS WOULD FLUCTUATE AS THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS THE LAST TIME SINCE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SHOULDER FOR ME TO GET MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AS THE ENGINE DIED. ALL TEMPERATURES WERE FINE AND MY FLUIDS ARE GOOD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE VALE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS UNSAFE ISSUE! *JB

DRIVING ON I80 WEST, WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST POWER AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE, LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SAW THE "WRENCH" ICON LIT. PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE SPEED AND LIMPED INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT. TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CONSULTED THE USER MANUAL AND FOUND THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE "POWERTRAIN/THROTTLE CONTROL". TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AFTER STARTING THE CAR. HEADED BACK TO HOME VIA SIDE STREETS AND HAD ONE MORE INCIDENT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES. FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME (6 MILES). IF THIS HAD HAPPENED OUT IN THE COUNTRY MILES FROM NOWHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY WORRIED. PARKED CAR UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAY AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE SERVICE. TOOK CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING(9/4) AND WAS TOLD LATER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. NEW ONE WAS BACK ORDERED TO OCTOBER 26TH. SERVICE TECHNICIAN(KYLE) TOLD ME I COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANT, SO A RENTAL CAR WILL NOT BE COVERED. I CAN'T AFFORD $1800 FOR A RENTAL, SO NOW WHAT? DEALER SYMPATHETIC, BUT UNABLE TO HELP. *JB

VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND GOES INTO AN IDLE MODE. VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IN ORDER TO GO BACK INTO A MODE THAT ALLOWS ACCELERATION. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ENTERING A RAMP, THE ENGINE JUST LOST POWER AND THERE WAS A RAPID DECELERATION. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A WRENCH SYMBOL LIT UP ON THE DASH. I TOWED THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER IN BETTENDORF IOWA. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS BECAUSE THERE WAS 5 CARS AHEAD OF ME WAITING FOR THE SAME PARTS. SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT COULD HAVE CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB

I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND I NO LONGER COULD ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN FLASHING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET ON TO THE SHOULDER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. PER THE DEALER WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO, THE PART NEEDED WAS ON FORD'S NATIONAL BACKORDER LIST AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. IT TOOK 5 WEEKS TO GET THE PART. IT HAS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 7 WEEKS AND MY CAR DID THE SAME JERK ON THE EXPRESSWAY AGAIN TODAY. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO WORK AS NO SERVICE LIGHTS IGNITED ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO GET CHECKED AGAIN. *JB

ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013 I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, OUTSIDE OF TOWN WHEN I ACCELERATED TO MERGE LANES & MY ESCAPE STARTED LURCHING AND I LOST POWER CAUSING MY CAR TO COST TO A STOP. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A LOCATION THAT WAS SAFE AND HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAD IT TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WHERE I HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY LANDMARK FORD SERVICE THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO GET THE PART IN AND AROUND $520.00 TO FIX IT. I SPOKE WITH FORD CORP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM (THUS, THE BACK ORDER ON REPLACEMENT PARTS). MY ESCAPE IS 3 YEARS OLD. *JB

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE DOING A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS. ITS THROWING ITSELF INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND POWER FAILURE WITH THE THROTTLE AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS. AND NO POWER WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. I HAVE READ UP ON ALL THE REPORTS AND THE INVESTIGATION. SO I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO TOWN EAST FORD IN MESQUITE TEXAS WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. THE SERVICE TECH GUY AT TOWN EAST FORD. REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE INVESTIGATION AND REFUSED TO CHECK MY CAR OUT WITHOUT ME PAYING HIM A BUNCH OF MONEY AND REFUSED TO CALL MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WITHOUT COLLECTING THE MONEY UP FRONT. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP IS NOT PART OF FORD SO THEREFORE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AND I CAN SHOW HIM ALL I WANT TO ON THE INTERNET BUT HE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PAY ALL THE MONEY UP FRONT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE TECH WAS VERY RUDE AND I FINALLY LEFT THERE WITHOUT GETTING MY CAR FIXED AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP IN SERIOUS WRECKS FROM IT AND THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO HONOR THE PRODUCTS AND VEHICLE THEY SELL OF FORD. *JB

ENGINE FAILED. CAR ABRUPTLY STOPPED. WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. RESTARTED CAR AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT BUT ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON SOLID. GOT GOING ON THIRD TRY AND MANAGED TO GET HOME ABOUT 8 MILES. SAME SCENARIO CONTINUED AND MY MECHANIC THOROUGHLY CLEANED THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. PROBLEM CONTINUES... TRIED AGAIN....THIS TIME FAILED AT INTERSECTION...GOT GOING AGAIN BUT ALMOST HAD VEHICLE BEHIND ME REAR END ME....../TOTALLY UNSAFE. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE APPARENT. HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY BRAND NEW 2008 TAURUS IF I RECALL CORRECT. FORD FIXED IMMEDIATELY.. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER THIS ALSO ALTHOUGH. I MUST CORRECT IMMEDIATELY. I WILL KEEP ALL INVOICES FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE. THANK YOU.*JB

MY THROTTLE BODY BROKE WHICH PUT THE CAR INTO SAFE MODE.THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP.THE DEALER TOLD ME HE REPLACED 3 THAT SAME DAY.

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.

DRIVING IN TOWN LET OFF THROTTLE ENGINE WENT TO LIMP MODE , PULLED OVER SHUT OFF MOTOR THEN RESTARTED RAN GREAT BUT HAD P2111 CODE , DID SAME THING AGAIN ON WAY HOME AGAIN PULL OVER RESTART RUNS GREAT. I CHECKED CODE, LED ME TO THROTTLE BODY INSPECTED AND CLEANED FOUND NO PROBLEM , REINSTALLED THROTTLE BODY RAN GOOD FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS AND DID IT AGAIN , HAS DONE IT 2 MORE TIMES SINCE BUT GIVES ME NO CODES . THE LAST TIME WAS STARTING OUT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION CAR JUMPS AND GOES TO LIMP MODE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION HAD TO LIMP OUT OF TRAFFIC TO TURN OFF AND RESTART . *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC AT 35-40 MPH, ENGINE LOST POWER AND DIED MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BRAKE AND STEER. I WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO A TURN LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT IN THE REAR. THIS COULD BE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER WAITING ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY DAYS THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER/ STALL. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING, IT WILL GO ANOTHER 5 - 10 MILES AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. AFTER 2 - 3 TIMES IT WILL THROW THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT (CODE P2112). WE CHECKED/ CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CLEARED THE CODE. CAR RAN OK FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS (50 MILES), AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE ARE LOOKING INTO HIRING AN ATTORNEY AS FORD DOES NOT WANT TO HELP COVER THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR, AND UNCONTROLLED STALLING AND SPUTTERING IS DANGEROUS ON BUSY STREETS. TWICE, THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AND AT ONE TIME, IT COMPLETELY DIED GOING 40 MPH, AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HEAD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP US AND OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

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. I HAD TO FLIP ON THE HAZARDS AND GET OVER THREE LANES OF SCARY TRAFFIC ON A BUSY VANCOUVER, BC HIGHWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THIS WAS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAPPENED IN 30 DAYS, WITH THE FIRST BEING ON THE SHIP CANAL BRIDGE IN SEATTLE, THE 2ND EXACTLY 7 DAYS LATER IN THE SAME SPOT, FOLLOWED BY TWICE IN ONE MORNING 2 WEEKS LATER ON THE WAY TO VANCOUVER. 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. I LOVED THE CAR BUT AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT SO I'VE STARTED TO TAKE THE BUS. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR NOT TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS KNOWN PROBLEM! WHEN IS FORD GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BECAUSE OF IT? THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, THANK GOD IT HAPPENED DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS - I'M TERRIFIED OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IT IS NIGHT TIME. *TR

DRIVING DOWN STREET, ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS WOULD SPORADICALLY HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN. ERROR CODE P2112. ENGINE WOULD EITHER SHUT OFF COMPLETELY OR WOULD IDLE LOW AND ROUGH AND NOT MOVE, WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED, NO INCREASE IN RPM. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS DURING NORMAL DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WAIT A MINUTE AND IT WILL RESTART. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THOUGH MILEAGE WARRANTY HAS NOT EXPIRED, 3 YR WARRANTY IS OUT BY 1 MONTH SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. WANT $700 TO FIX. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY, ENGINE LOST POWER FOR NO REASON. HAD NO SHOULDER TO PULL ONTO, HAD TO SHUT IGNITION OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH FAST APPROACHING CARS PASSING ME AND COMING UP BEHIND ME. RESTARTED CAR AND IT STARTED RUNNING FINE AGAIN. HAD THIS ONE TIME BEFORE THIS BUT NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER SOMEONE IS HURT THEN THEY WILL HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY THROTTLE BODY! *TR

DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING THE THROTTLE STOPPED WORKING WITH OUT WARNING. I HAD NO PROPULSION AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN TURNED OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON AND THEN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AS NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, IT IS INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS WITH OUT WARNING. *TR

WHILE ON MY WAY HOME ONE NIGHT MY CAR JUST CUT OFF AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE SHIFTED AND THEN STARTED LOSING SPEED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND DROVE ON HOME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WITH ME BEING AWARE THAT IT MAY DO IT AGAIN. SO I TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE CAUSE AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MOS AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE MIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EVAC CANISTER HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 9/4/13 *CN

AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE RPM'S DROP AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL DOES NOT AFFECT THE STALL. TYPICALLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTING IT AGAIN, THE ENGINE RESETS TO NORMAL. TODAY, THIS HAPPEN ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE SURROUNDED BY SEMI TRUCKS AT 65 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH LANES OF TRAFFIC AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS DEFECT IS CONSIDERABLY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS ATTENTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FROM FORD. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A COUNTY HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN IT JERKED FORWARD AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE COASTED TO ALMOST A CRAWL BEFORE THERE WAS ANY SIGN OF LIFE TO IT. MY WIFE CALLED ME AND I ASKED HER TO PULL OVER TO A SAFE PLACE. I TOLD HER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. WHEN SHE DID THIS, SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE THEN JERKED AGAIN AND SWITCHED INTO THE LIMP MODE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE PULLED OVER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. THE FIRST MECHANIC I TOOK IT TO SAID THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO FORD AND THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. ONCE I GOT IT TO FORD, THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THERE MUST BE A DEMAND FOR THE PART! I AM THANKFUL THAT MY WIFE IS FINE, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE JERK THAT SHE FELT COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO ANY ONE ELSE. *TR

ESCAPE SPUTTERED & STALLED. RESTARTED & WAS SERVICED BY FORD TO 'CLEAN' THE THROTTLE BODY. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, IT EXHIBITED THE SAME BEHAVIOR BUT MUCH MORE FREQUENT RENDERING THE CAR UNRELIABLE. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER 3-4 WEEKS. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A STOP OR JUST AFTER I PULLED OUT FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS COST ME A TOTAL OF 384.08. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2010 ESCAPES AT THAT DEALERSHIPS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH LEAD ME TO SEE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS AS WELL. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. IF THERE IS A RECALL, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE I AM REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE I HAVE PAID TO FIX THIS. *TR

PLEASE BE ADVISED WHILE DRIVING ON I-285 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO FORD, THEY REPLACED A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. *TR

PLEASE BE ADVISED WHILE DRIVING ON ROSWELL ROAD IN ATLANTA, GA IN TRAFFIC MY FORD ESCAPE STALLED. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO FORD THEY REPLACED A FAULTY FUEL VAPOR CONTROL VALVE. *TR

WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM AN INCLINED ON-RAMP, ACCELERATION BEGAN TO DECREASE EVEN AS THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING PRESSED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, STOP THE ENGINE AND RESTART. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION AS I TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED TO CHANGE LANES. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR WITH NO RESULTS. AS I PRESSED THE PEDAL THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT RAMP AND COASTED TO A SAFE STOP. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING FROM THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP, THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED. *TR

THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES IN TRAFFIC WHICH CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE WAS A LIMITED AREA WHICH TO PULL THE CAR OFF AWAY FROM MOVING TRAFFIC. THE THROTTLE BODY IS AT FAULT.

ON GOING PROBLEM WITH TRUCK LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS UP TO 60MPH THEN NO POWER. FINALLY TRUCK TOTALLY STALLED OUT UNABLE TO KEEP RUNNING. NOW I FOUND OUT THE PART IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTED----------COST----OUT OF POCKET $569.00 PLUS CAR RENTAL------PERFECT!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD---FIX OR REPAIR DAILY!!!! *TR

ON JUNE 23, 2013 DRIVING ON STREET ABOUT 25 M.P.H. WHEN CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED IN SPEED TO ALMOST AN IDLE. AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD, WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND RETURN HOME AT ABOUT 1 M.P.H. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME, OTHERWISE, BECAUSE OF THE ABRUPT STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE A REAR END ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. FORD ROADSIDE SERVICE TOWED CAR TO KINDLE FORD, CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ ON MONDAY JUNE 24, 2013. I WAS LATER ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $378.00 AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD. WORSE YET, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED, SERVICE COULD GIVE NO DATE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE, AS IT WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER AND COULD BE SEVERAL WEEKS OR MORE BEFORE THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. NO LONER CAR WAS OFFERED FOR USE DURING THIS UNREASONABLE DELAY. *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

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. IN A CROSSING TRAFFIC SITUATION, THIS COULD BE DEADLY. MY SPOUSE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS LIKE THIS AND THE DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THESE, AS EVIDENTLY LOTS OF THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. 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). SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES/DEATHS RELATED DIRECTLY TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA AREA TO OPP, ALABAMA, TRAVELING AT ABOUT 55 MPH, THE CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN, ENGINE AND MECHANICAL LIGHTS CAME ON. WE COASTED TO A STOP WITH THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. WE RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND WERE ABLE TO RESUME. WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS PROCEDURE FOUR TIMES, FOR ABOUT 9 MILES AND REACHED OUR DESTINATION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "THE THROTTLE BODY BROKE." I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER, NATIONWIDE, AND MAY BE DELIVERED IN 1 WEEK OR 2 MONTHS. THEREFORE, WE ARE NOW STRANDED. *TR

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. OUR VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 60600 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-40 IN EASTERN ARKANSAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE WENT TO IDLE SPEED. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS IDLING BUT WOULD NOT DRIVE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT RESTARTED AND RAN WITH NO PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE WAY. ON JUNE 18TH, 2013, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN LITTLE ROCK ON I-30 IN THE LEFT LANE. I COASTED TO AN EXIT AND TOOK IT. THE CAR AGAIN RESTARTED, BUT THIS TIME WITHIN 30 SECONDS IT WENT TO IDLE AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE ODOMETER READ 60,480 AT THIS TIME. ON JUNE 19TH, 2013, I TOOK THE CAR TO LANDERS FORD IN BENTON ARKANSAS WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS NEEDING THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THE PART WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS TO COME IN. AS IS, I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF IT BREAKING DOWN COMPLETELY. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WE BOTH HAVE ELDERLY PARENTS WHO WE NEED TO GO SEE ABOUT. WE WILL HAVE TO RENT A CAR TO DO THIS NOW. *TR

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. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME AND I HAD TIME TO FIND A LOCATION TO PULL OVER. PULLED OVER AND ENGINE BEGAN TO BUCK AND SPUTTER. TURNED OFF IGNITION. 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. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED ABOUT OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE BODY. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER AND ORDERED A NEW PART. DEALER TOOK THE ORDER AND DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT ORDERED THE PART FOR ME. THE PART STILL HAS NOT COME IN. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS I WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND MIGHT STILL TAKE A FEW WEEKS TO GET IN. *TR

WE OWN A 2010 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED, PURCHASED NEW JUNE 2010. THROTTLE CONTROL WENT OUT FIRST TIME IN MAY 2013. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID JUST WATER IN GAS. SECOND TIME APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER, HAPPENED AGAIN, TOOK TO DEALER WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW. WE WORK AND WE NEED OUR CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, HAVE BEEN TOLD PART IS BACK-ORDERED OVER 16,000. CONSUMERS NEED RELIEF FROM THIS. *TR

THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF, YOU CAN'T GIVE IT ANY GAS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, WHERE I AM AT, WHETHER IT BE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, OR A CENTER TURNING LANE. I THEN HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, WAIT ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND START IT BACK UP. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I REACH MY DESTINATION. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH WE HAVE TRIED TO ORDER BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY (FORD DEALERSHIP) ARE NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL GET ONE IN. THIS MUST BE A HUGE PROBLEM IN THE U.S. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FORD DEALER THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE "A BUNCH". *TR

VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING TURNS. *TR

THIS FIRST STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS ONE DAY AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR ALL OF SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT GO. I PULLED OVER BARELY MISSING BEING HIT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT WOULD START UP AND I COULD GO. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE NEXT TIME I WAS LOW ON GAS. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. I KEPT THINKING I HAD BAD GAS. THEN LAST SATURDAY I WAS OUT SHOPPING AND IT HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I WAS SO SCARED BY THE TIME I WENT HOME I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I WAS ALMOST HIT. EVEN THE MORNING I TOOK IT INTO THE CAR DEALER IT DIED FOUR TIMES ON THE WAY. MY CAR ACTED JUST LIKE THE SITUATIONS IN YOUR ARTICLE. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AT FORD IS MAKING ME RENT A CAR. I CAN'T DRIVE MINE. FORD IS SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A WEEK OR A MONTH BEFORE THEY GET THESE PARTS IN. THEY CAN'T FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A BIG BACK ORDER FOR THIS PART. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THESE MOTELS RECALLED AND GET THEM FIXED. *TR

IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE ZERO THROTTLE BODIES FOR THIS CAR FOR 4 TO 6 MONTHS MAYBE LONGER. AND IN RESEARCHING THIS THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT RESOLVING THE ISSUE. JUST KEEP MAKING YOUR PAYMENTS ON THE CAR AND RENT YOU ANOTHER SO YOU CAN GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK TO PAY FOR IT. EVEN THO I HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE STILL CANNOT GET A LOANER CAR TILL THEY CAN GET THE PARTS TO FIX THIS THING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND LOST POWER. THE THROTTLE WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. TOOK THE ESCAPE TO FORD WHERE OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE PART FOR OVER A WEEK AND FORD SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY FOR THIS ALTHOUGH IT'S HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE. I'M HAVING TO RENT A CAR THIS WHOLE TIME WAITING. *TR

I WAS CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING DESPITE NO CHANGE IN GAS PEDAL PRESSURE. ADDITIONAL GAS DID NOT RESULT IN THE CAR MAINTAINING SPEED OR SPEEDING UP. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ABOUT A MILE LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND THAT A NUMBER OF FORDS HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. IT IS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS ON BACK-ORDERED AND THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE IN SO THAT THE CAR CAN BE MADE SAFE TO OPERATE. THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OF A FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THE PROBLEM SUGGEST FORD SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING THIS AND RECALLING CARS LIKE MINE BEFORE INCIDENTS ARISE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. *TR

BOUGHT 2010 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED IN DECEMBER. PURCHASED A $2000 EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER FROM EASY CARE. PUT ABOUT 1200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT STARTED TURNING OFF AT RANDOM. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE I LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE TOTALLY AND ALMOST GOT T BONED BY A COAL TRUCK. IT DID IT 5 MORE TIMES AS I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET IT HOME. TOOK IT TO FREEDOM FORD IN EBENSBURG PA FOR WARRANTY WORK AND THEY FOUND A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THE DEALER AND MY WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THE REPAIR AND THE PART IS BACK ORDERED UNTIL JULY 16TH. NOW I AM PAYING ALMOST $400 A MONTH FOR A FORD ESCAPE WITH ONLY 31000 MILES THAT I DON'T HAVE. AND IT WILL BE SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 6 MORE WEEKS. *TR

ENGINE JUST GOES TO IDLE. YOU HAVE TO STOP AND PUT CAR IN PARK TO RESTART. THERE IS NO WARRING AS TO WHEN THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TO 15 TIME OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. *TR

VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHEN I GET OFF THE ROAD TO A STOP IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS IDILING ROUGH BUT WILL NOT MOVE. THIS VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING FROM THE BANK TO HOME AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO EASE OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE WITH NO POWER AND WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN I RESTARTED IT. MY ESCAPE THEN RAN FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT MY ESCAPE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BOX AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THERE IS NO REASON FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. SINCE THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER I HAVE TO DRIVE IT LIKE THIS UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WILL BE AT LEAST 1 WEEK, PROBABLY LONGER. IF MY CAR DIES IN AN INTERSECTION OR WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, OR ON A FREEWAY, I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE TO DRIVE IT, IT'S THE ONLY CAR I OWN. I AVOIDED THE FREEWAY TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I KNOW THE SIDE ROADS TO GET THERE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART. CONSIDERING THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET A NEW ONE THAT TELLS ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL. IF A CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY IT IS ENDANGERING MANY LIVES BESIDES MINE. *TR

DRIVING ON 3 LANE HIGHWAY IN MIDDLE LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. WE (CHILDREN AND MYSELF) WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMITRUCK COMING UP FROM BEHIND US HAVING NO IDEA THAT MY AUTO LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. CAR HAD NO REAL POWER BUT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AT ABOUT 5 MPH FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET UP EXIT RAMP TO A GRAVEL AREA WHERE I STOPPED AND REGAINED MY COMPOSURE AS I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO CRASH!!!!! I NOTICED THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH. TURNED OFF ENGINE UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO. AT THE TIME I WAS STILL ABOUT 100 MILES FROM HOME SO I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP. POWER WAS BACK. CONTINUED TO DRIVE ANOTHER 20-30 MILES WITH AGAIN WITH ONE MORE ISSUE. I HAD JUST BROUGHT THIS IN TO BE CHECKED BEFORE TAKING MY FAMILY TRIP AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS GOOD...DESCRIPTIONS ON THE INTERNET TALK ABOUT A FUEL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE WHICH HAS SYMPTOMS THAT MATCH WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. FIRST INCIDENT 11/2012, 2ND 3RD & CONT 2013 NOW... THIS WILL BE MY 3RD TIME BRINGING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP - AND I ADD THAT THEY ARE NOT CALLING BACK TO SCHEDULE A SVS APPT.. I AM FILING COMPLIANT HERE AND WITH FORD.. I ALWAYS PURCHASED A FORD - MAYBE NOW CHEVY ..ADDTL NOTE:. CAR HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST MONTH WHERE IT SPUTTERS A BIT PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND HAS REVED UP TO ABOUT 1500 RPM WHEN OUT OF GEAR RIGHT AFTER STARTING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 25-30 MPH VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND COASTED REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE TO GAS PEDAL. I WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHEN VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I COASTED TO A DRIVEWAY (NO SHOULDER) AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH NO WRENCH LIGHT. CAR ACCELERATED FINE SO I CONTINUED HOME. IN THE SPAN OF 5 MILES, THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED 4 TIMES. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON WOULD TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER LEFT. IN ROUTE, I STAYED ON ROADS WITH SHOULDER ALLOWANCES OR FREQUENT TURNOFFS, WHERE POSSIBLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. CURRENTLY HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE, BECAUSE OF ITS CURRENT HIGH DEMAND. I'M TOLD IT COULD BE A MONTH. *TR

DRIVING ON 3 LANE HIGHWAY IN MIDDLE LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH SLIGHTLY UP HILL AND ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. CAR HAD NO REAL POWER BUT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AT ABOUT 5 MPH FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET UP EXIT RAMP TO A GRAVEL AREA WHERE I STOPPED. I NOTICED THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH. TURNED OFF ENGINE UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO. AT THE TIME I WAS ABOUT 90 MILES FROM HOME SO I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP. POWER WAS BACK. CONTINUED TO DRIVE ANOTHER 90 MILES WITH NO ISSUE. DESCRIPTIONS ON THE INTERNET TALK ABOUT A FUEL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE WHICH HAS SYMPTOMS THAT MATCH WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. STOPPED AT FORD DEALER AND ORDERED NEW THROTTLE BODY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WAITING FOR PART 9E926 TO ARRIVE TO INSTALL. CAR HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST MONTH WHERE IT SPUTTERS A BIT PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND HAS REVVED UP TO ABOUT 1500 RPM WHEN OUT OF GEAR RIGHT AFTER STARTING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 24, MY VEHICLE HAD SPONTANEOUSLY LOST POWER AS I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I SAFETY STEERED MY VEHICLE TO A PLACE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE SERVICE LIGHT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE STOP, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF; WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEY STARTED IT BACK UP. THE ENGINE WAS ON, THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE STILL ONE, BUT NO POWER WAS TRANSFERRING FROM THE ENGINE TO THE TRANSMISSION AS I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE RPM GAUGE ALSO SHOWED LITTLE TO NO CHANGE WHILE I WAS APPLYING MORE GAS. AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE QUICK TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BEING THE THROTTLE BODY. THE PART WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY ONLY AFTER I PAID THE $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. MY VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED; HAVING ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE BY FORD DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTERS WITHIN THE REQUIRED INTERVALS, AND HAS ONLY 44,800 MILES ON IT. *TR

CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. SEEMED LIKE CAR SHUTOFF, BUT LATER REALIZED THAT CAR WAS STILL ON BUT NOT MOVING. TOOK TO DEALER IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. QUITE DANGEROUS DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL ON HIGHWAY, EASILY COULD OF BEEN HIT BY OTHER CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 60 MPH AND THE POWER WENT OUT. THE CAR JUST COASTED. STEERING CONTINUED TO WORK. I PULLED OVER TO THE MEDIAN, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSH, AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN SUDDENLY. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE CAR SPUTTERED, AND TURNED IT OFF. POPPED THE HOOD EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, STARTED GOING, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN I PULLED OVER A SECOND TIME, LET THE CAR SIT ROUGHLY 5 MINUTES, TURNED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AN AUTO ZONE TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT NOT ONLY CAN THEY NOT FIX IT CURRENTLY, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TO FIX IT, SINCE THE PART IS CURRENTLY BEING REDESIGNED. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY SUV, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S WITH MY TWO AND HALF YEAR OLD WITH ME. I'M AFRAID OF BEING LEFT STRANDED. *TR

IN FEB. 2013 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH WHEN I WAS GOING UP AN INCLINE AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT OFF. AFTER THE DEALER CHECKED IT THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING WAS MECHANICALLY WRONG. OFF AND ON THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BUT ON A LESSER SCALE, BUT THERE WERE NO FAILURES INDICATED IN THE COMPUTER. ON MAY 23, 2013 I WAS TRAVELING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FROM BALTIMORE WHEN MY CAR BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND WITHIN SECONDS THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. I MANAGED TO NURSE IT TO THE SIDE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED SEVERAL MINS AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON BUT THE WRENCH WENT OUT. I WAS NOT IN A PLACE THAT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO REMAIN SO I NURSED THE CAR TO THE DEALER. AFTER SECURING A RENTAL CAR FOR ABOUT $50 A DAY (AT MY EXPENSE) I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 27 DAYS (3RD WEEK OF JUNE) BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE AND WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $750 TO FIX. AT $50 A DAY MY RENTAL WILL BE TWICE THE REPAIR BILL AND MORE THAN MY MORTGAGE! IT WAS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALER I CALL FORD'S CUSTOMER CARE CENTER, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD MY COMPLAINT WAS LOGGED AND THAT I WOULD HEAR "MOST LIKELY NEXT FROM THE MANAGER AT THE DEALER". THEY DID NOT OFFER TO ASSIST WITH A LOANER OR WITH THE ISSUE SURROUNDING THE FACT THAT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE 27 DAYS (AT LEAST) FOR A PART TO BE AVAILABLE. NOTHING WAS ULTIMATELY RESOLVED THROUGH FORD CUSTOMER CARE. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE "SLOW" LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER. IF I HAD BEEN IN ANY OTHER LANE ON THIS HIGHWAY, THE OUTCOME MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT FREE. *TR

VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 10 MPH, "WRENCH" SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED. I PULLED OVER, PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK, AT WHICH TIME IT BEGAN SHUDDERING. TURNED OFF ENGINE, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS, AND TURNED IGNITION. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH SOME EFFORT. INCIDENT HAS RE-OCCURRED 7 TIMES SINCE THEN, NOW WITH "ENGINE" SERVICE LIGHT ON. MECHANIC HAS IDENTIFIED ISSUE AS WORN THROTTLE BODY, ON 2-WEEK BACK ORDER AS OF MAY 10, 2013. TIME FOR A RECALL, FORD. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALSO EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,873 UPDATED 04/30/13*LJ THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 05/20/13

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND A SMOKE TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER LOCATED A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FUEL LEAKAGE AS WELL. THE VALVE SOLENOID, VALVE ASSEMBLY PIPE AND THE FUEL FILLER PIPE WERE ALL RECOMMENDED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $ 931.64. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,480. UPDATED 03/01/13*LJ THE COMPONENT FAILURES BASED ON WHAT THE DEALER PROVIDED, WHICH WAS A SMOKE TEST, CONFIRMED THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS LEAKING FUEL VAPORS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND ANY PLACES THAT FUEL VAPORS COULD ESCAPE. UPDATED 03/07/13

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS PRESENT AND ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL LEAKS FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS LEAK DOES NOT COME FROM A SPILLAGE AT THE PUMP HANDLE AND FILLER TUBE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD! *TT
