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.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL OCTOBER 26, 2013. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

NOTED MILEAGE, DATE, AND SPEEDS APPROXIMATE. VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES (SIX TO SEVEN TIMES SINCE NOTED DATE). ALL TIMES HAVE BEEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR LOW SPEED. THE STALLS HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY OCCURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE / SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER SOME ATTEMPT AND THE CHECK ENGINE / SERVICE LIGHT IS GONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TT

THE CAR STARTED FEELING VIBRATIONS IN THE PEDALS, LOST SPEED, EVENTUALLY STALLED ON A HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THE FLY-BY THROTTLE BODY UNIT HAD FAILED. *TT

DRIVING 40 MILES A HR AND MY CAR LOST POWER. I COULD NOT STEP ON THE GAS. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER SHUT CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MILES A HR AND THIS TIME IT KEPT CUTTING OFF AROUND 10 TIMES EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO START DRIVING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.

I GOT IT STARTED, GOT ONTO A BUSY STREET, MADE A U- TURN AND IT DID AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET IT STARTED AND OFF THE INCREDIBLY BUSY STREET BEFORE THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOW HAVING A PROBLEM, I CANT EVEN DRIVE A QUARTER MILE BEFORE IT DIES AGAIN. *TT

WHE LEAVING OUR HOME IN HAINES CITY,FL. THE VEHICLE ROUGHLY CHANGED GEARS. THEN WE ENTERED A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER,AND ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL THE DRIVE TRIAIN LIGHT THEN LIT UP.THE VEHICLES BEHIND BLEW THEIR HORNS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWED SUBSTANTIALY WITHOUT SHOWING BRAKE LIGHTS.WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD GARAGE ,AND CHARGED US FOR ANALIZING THE PROBLEM AND THE COST AND INSTALLATION OF THE THROTTLEBODY. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD US HE FTHOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY,PRIOR TO ANALIZING IT.AFTER RESEARCHING FORD VEHICLE PROBLEMS ON THE COMPUTER,I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD VEHICLES.THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE VERY SERIOUS REA END COLLISIONS, AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FORD MOTOR TO REPAIR AND TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.THISSHOULD NOT BE A FAILUR OF THIS PART ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE ESPECIALLY. *TT

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH, WHEN I LOST ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT AN IDLE SPEED BUT WOULD NOT INCREASE RPM UPON PRESSING ACCELERATOR WITH THE SUV IN PARK. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE SUV AND PROCEED BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ABOUT 25 MILES, IT DID THE SAME THING. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED. EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE FINE. SINCE I WAS OUT OF TOWN, I DECIDED TO HEAD BACK. I DROVE 125 MILES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I TOOK INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY WITH A REPAIR CODE OF P2111. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. I DROVE THE SUV FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT STARTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE PART WAS ORDER ON JULY 11 AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF OTHER VEHICLES. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN AND I AM AWARE OF TWO OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TT

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ABOUT 0.25 MILES FROM MY GARAGE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I WAS UNABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS P111 -- THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. UPON REMOVAL OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THE SERVICE MECHANIC SAID THE THROTTLE BODY APPEARED NORMAL. I RETAINED THE ORIGINAL THROTTLE BODY AS EVIDENCE AFTER IT WAS REPLACED. *TT

DRIVING 70 MPH ON HWY TRUCK JUST STARTS TO STALL NO CONTROL OF GAS PEDAL CARS ALMOST CRASHED IN TO ME I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE WAY. TROUBLE CODE IS P2111 NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY THAT IS ON BACK ORDER FOR A FORD NATIONAL RECALL AND I HAVE TO WAIT DAYS TO GET, PRICE FOR PART IS $380 . AFTER A CALL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT RECALLED BUT FUNNY HOW THE PART NUMBER CHANGED AND IT IS THE SAME ONE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF THE 3 YEARS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY MY TRUCK HAS 50,000 MILE. FORD HAS LOST A LONG TIME CUSTOMER !!! BUY AMERICAN MADE !!!! THANKS FORD EX OWNER OF EXPEDITION, EXPLORER, THUNDERBIRD, COUGARS, TOWN CAR, 2 CONTINENTALS NO MORE FORDS AT MY HOUSE.....!!!!!!! *TR

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. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, LIFE THREATENING MALFUNCTION!!! DESERVES OFFICIAL RECALL. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE EVENING OF AUG. 24, 2013, ON A DARK AND LONELY STRETCH OF INTERSTATE 10, OUR 2010 FORD ESCAPE UNCONTROLLABLY DECELERATED FROM 60 TO 0 IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. WHAT, LIKELY, SAVED OUR LIVES, WAS THAT WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WERE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHOULDER OF THIS INTERSTATE QUICKLY, WITHOUT CAUSING A COLLISION. WE COASTED TO AN INVOLUNTARY DEAD STOP. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 15 MINUTES IN THE DARKNESS ON THE SHOULDER WITH OUR EMERGENCY LIGHTS FLASHING, FEARING FOR OUR SAFETY, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND MADE IT BACK HOME ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS HOUR DRIVE FELT LIKE FOREVER DUE TO THE THREAT OF THIS REOCCURRING. THE WARNING LIGHT SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD WAS A LITTLE WRENCH, WHICH, ACCORDING TO OUR OWNER'S MANUAL IS A "THROTTLE CONTROL/POWER TRAIN" FAULT THAT REQUIRED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BY A FORD DEALER. WE WERE NOWHERE NEAR A FORD DEALER DURING THIS INCIDENT, AND AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THINK IT BEST TO STAY AWAY FROM FORD DEALERS, PERMANENTLY, AFTER AN OFFICIAL RECALL IS ISSUED. THIS "FAULT" IS VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS, AND TRAGICALLY, SOME UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING CHILDREN, WILL PROBABLY END UP GETTING KILLED AS A RESULT. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO RECALL THE AFFECTED FORD ESCAPES AND FIX THIS TO PREVENT FUTURE LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70-75 MPH. SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT AS I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE. ONCE I PULLED OVER I NOTICE THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON WHICH INDICATES A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT'S THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THIS VEHICLE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY AT THAT TIME THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WITH THIS INCIDENT THE CAR IS OVER WARRANTY BY 300 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT FAILURE AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. *TR

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. WE COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I SWITCHED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES STARTED IT AGAIN SEEMINGLY TO BE FINE. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, 70 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD, AGAIN IT RESTARTED AFTER A SHUTDOWN. THIS TIME WE WENT ABOUT 3 MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT CUT OUT AGAIN. 2 MORE TIMES AFTER THAT, BEFORE GETTING IT BACK HOME. IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT ACCORDING TO THE FAILURE CODES, I HAVE REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $295. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 680 IN STOP N GO TRAFFIC. I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS TO GO, BUT MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T GO. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER IN THE SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I PUT MY CAR IN PARKING MODE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED IT AGAIN, AND IT WORKED. SO, I WENT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ABOUT A MILE FURTHER IN STOP N GO TRAFFIC, MY CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING. IT STOPPED WORKING, AND STARTED SHAKING WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN. I WASN'T FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING MY CAR SINCE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE. SO, I HAD TO CALL THE TOW COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME. *TR

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. THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT'S THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY W/ WIRING HARNESS AND SENSOR THAT F

I WAS DRIVING 78MPH ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AT THE SAME SPEED. SUDDENLY THE "WRENCH" ICON FLASHED ON AND MY CAR WENT FROM 78 TO 5MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. I FLIPPED MY FLASHERS ON AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I KILLED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED, MADE IT TO MY EXIT WHERE IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD SO WE REPLACED AND TOOK TO A GARAGE TO HAVE EVERYTHING CHECKED. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I DROVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK FOR 4 DAYS WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS TIME IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR CAUSING TRAFFIC ISSUES AND CONGESTION. WE ONCE AGAIN TOOK IT IN TODAY, 8/26/2013, THEY CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES WHEN IT STARTED IN AGAIN! THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STAYING ON AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WHICH WE FOUND OUT IS POWERTRAIN AGAIN CAME ON. THE ENGINE NEVER DIES, IN FACT IT SEEMS TO REV AT TIMES BUT THE GAS PEDDLE HAS NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOT ONLY FOR MY OWN SAFETY BUT FOR ALL THOSE AROUND ME. FORD IS NOT CURRENTLY SHOWING A RECALL FOR OUR VIN # BUT FROM MY RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

THROTTLE, CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY AND STREETS, NO WARNING. *TR

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

WAS DRIVING AND SUV SUDDENLY WOULD NOT CONTINUE AT CURRENT SPEED, HAD GAS MASHED BUT SUV WOULD ONLY GO 3 MILES AN HOUR. WAS TURNING ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED. HAD TO CALL AND GET HELP TO GET MYSELF TO WORK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH, 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. AFTER CAR'S IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF, THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS NOWHERE TO MOVE THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO COULD FIND NOTHING ABNORMAL ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. HOWEVER BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TODAY AND REPROGRAMMED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF OVER $500. *TR

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 ASK THAT FORD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OBVIOUS FLAW IN THROTTLE BODY AND MAKE THE RECALL! *TR

DRIVING AT 60MPH MOTOR SHUT OFF NO LIGHTS NO SOUND , NO WARNING. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I CAME TO A STOP. THE CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN AND WAS UNABLE TO START IT UP FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN EITHER PARK OR DRIVE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AT APPROX. 7000 MILES. EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP, THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR FIND ANY ERRORS WITHIN THE SYSTEM, SO THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT OR TRY FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY, MY ENGINE LOST POWER. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY THROTTLE WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY OFF THE FREEWAY AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT MY CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO, AND THEN RESTARTED MY CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, NOW TOTALING 6 TIMES, ALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WENT TO THE MECHANIC, HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT HE COULD PUT A RUSH ORDER ON IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 15% OF THE PRICE, AND IT WOULD STILL TAKE 2 WEEKS. THROUGH NORMAL CHANNELS, IT WOULD WAKE SEVERAL MONTHS. I NEED MY CAR TO WORK, AND TWO THINGS BOTHER ME THE MOST: A RUSH ORDER WOULD STILL TAKE 2 WEEKS TO BE DELIVERED, AND IF IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM, IT FEELS AS THOUGH FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO ALLEVIATE IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY ON THE ROAD. I AM CONSTANTLY PARANOID WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, AND I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR, SINCE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVERTED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 32K MILES. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND A CHIP WAS REPLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL BECAME USELESS. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR APPEARED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WHEN I FINALLY GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY CHARGED ME $623 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM I HAD NEVER HEARD OF A THROTTLE BODY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE FORD SERVICE TECH DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. *TR

CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LURCH FORWARD WHILE DRIVING, THEN ON AUGUST 21ST 2013, CAR LURCHED FORWARD THEN FELT LIKE IT STALLED OUT. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT WORK YESTERDAY 0821/2013 AND WAS DRIVING MAYBE 40 MPH. MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE JUST DIED ON ME. I HAD DRIVEN BUT A HALF MILE. I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED IT OFF. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL LOOKED OK SO I TRIED STARTING IT. AFTER SOME HESITATION, IT DID START. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC. HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO I PICKED IT BACK UP. THIS MORNING 08/22/2013 IT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I WAS TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, NOT A MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. IT DID IT AGAIN, ON THE HIGHWAY, ABOUT 10 MILES LATER. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I KNEW HE SHOULD NOW BE ABLE TO PULL SOMETHING UP ON THE COMPUTER. HE WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE DID TELL ME TO CALL THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THERE WASN'T. HE FELT BAD AND GAVE ME A GREAT DEAL, $410, TO REPLACE IT. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!!! *TR

DRIVING MY CAR HOME AND THE CAR LOST POWER, I COULD NOT GET ANY POWER WITH THE GAS PEDAL, COASTED DOWN MY STREET (ABOUT 3 MPH) WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY. CALLED WEST HERR GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING, THEY ORDERED A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TO BRING THE CAR IN ( THE LITTLE WRENCH SHOWED UP ON THE DASH BOARD) THE GARAGE FOUND IT WAS THE THROTTLE. THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE THROTTLES IN THE ESCAPES AND FUSION'S AND I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RE-CALL - HE SAID NO. SO NOW I AM ASKING YOU, IS THERE A RE-CALL? I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND DON'T ABUSE THEM, SO WHY DID THIS THROTTLE GO BAD AND WITH NO WARNING? ON AUG.13TH I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND TIRES ROTATED, CAME HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND FOUND LATER THAT THE CAR WAS LEAKING OIL VERY BAD. HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT ON TIGHT THEY DID SEND SOMEONE OUT TO MY HOUSE TO CLEAN THE DRIVEWAY.PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RE-CALL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A LOCAL 45 MPH STREET, OUR ESCAPE APPEARED TO STALL AS IF IT WERE NOT GETTING GAS. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO "BABY" THE CAR TO A LESS BUSY STREET WHERE THE CAR COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED MORE THAN ABOUT 15 MPH. THE DRIVER THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND CAR SPEED WAS ABLE TO INCREASE TO 45 MPH. WE THEN DROVE THE CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. WE ASKED IF IT COULD BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE THROTTLE BODY BUT WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS TYPICAL OF A FORD 2010 ESCAPE TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED WITH MILEAGE CLOSE TO THAT OF OUR CAR. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT NEAR WORK WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO LIMP HOME MODE. WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH ONLY ONE LANE. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL SLIGHTLY OVER AND AFTER COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A MAINTAINED SPEED, MY VEHICLE ILLUMINATED A MAINTENANCE LIGHT, AND WITHIN SECONDS THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING. I WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL AT THE TIME SO I STILL HAD SOME MOMENTUM, ENOUGH TO PULL OVER OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. THE STEERING, BRAKES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WERE WORKING FINE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THERE WAS SOME STUTTERING, ALMOST LIKE IT WAS STALLING OUT, COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED A FEW MOMENTS. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT TOOK AN EXTRA 2-3 SECONDS TO START UP, BUT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE, AND I DROVE TO WORK, THEN RIGHT TO THE DEALER AFTER WORK FOR REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, AND THAT IT IS NOW RUNNING FINE SINCE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, AND I AM GOING TO PICK IT UP AFTER WORK TODAY. *TR

TRAVELING ON VACATION ON AN OHIO HIGHWAY WHEN ENGINE STALLED AND WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL AUGUST 20. *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE NORMALLY WHEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER (LIMP MODE) THE LADY IN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME THEN SHE WENT OFF THE ROAD HERSELF. I HAD TO PULL OVER I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND WENT TO CHECK ON THE LADY IN THE OTHER VEHICLE AND LUCKILY HER AND HER VEHICLE WERE FINE,UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT GET HER NAME OR NUMBER. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IT OPERATED NORMALLY, THE THROTTLE WAS RESPONSIVE AGAIN. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MORE MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. AGAIN SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED AGAIN OPERATED NORMALLY. I LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CAR PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE CODES. THE CODES THEY GOT WERE P2111 AND P2112 THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN, STUCK CLOSED RESPECTIVELY. I CONTACTED A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN SCHEDULE SERVICE NEXT WEEK BUT THEY HAVE SO MANY OF THESE BAD THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. SINCE THIS CAUSED A NEAR MISS I FELT COMPELLED TO REPORT IT AS WELL AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY SIZABLE ISSUE SINCE THE PARTS ARE DIFFICULT FOR FORD TO GET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

ON 2 OCCASIONS MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LOST THROTTLE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE YELLOW TOOLBAR LIGHTS UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CAR ESSENTIALLY LOSES POWER AND I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE NEED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH COST $345 (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NO RECALL). IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED PART CONSIDERING HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS POSITION IT LEAVES YOU ON THE ROAD WHEN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR SUDDENLY JUST STALLED. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE CAR RESTARTED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE--ONCE WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AND MORE RECENTLY AT 51,000. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, OTHERWISE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BOTH TIMES THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. BECAUSE IT IS A VERY RANDOM PROBLEM (IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 3 YEARS), FORD CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES INDICATING A PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THIS IS AN ACTIVE PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THE ONLY FORD RESPONSE REGARDING THIS STALLING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UNCOVER IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH INDICATES A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD ON FORD ESCAPES BUILT BETWEEN JUNE 22 AND OCT 15, 2009, WHICH IS THE PERIOD DURING WHICH THIS CAR WAS BUILT. *TR
