ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND MY VEHICLE LURCHED, KNOCKED, AND THEN BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ONCE COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNTIL PUT IN PARK. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINS AND THEN RESTARTED IT. EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE FINE, SO I BEGAN TO DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. WITHIN 2 MILES, THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. I MADE IT TO THE CLOSEST AUTO ZONE AND THEY DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE WITH A TROUBLE CODE P2111, THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. THEY SENT ME TO A LOCALLY OWNED BODY SHOP, WHERE THEY TOO, DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE WITH THE TROUBLE CODE P2111. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT BACK HOME AND TAKE IT TO MY FORD SHOP, WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE TROUBLE CODE OF P2111, SO THEY REPLACED MY THROTTLE BODY. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, SO IT CAME OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE THE PART. MY FORD HAD THE NERVE TO MENTION THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THEY ARE SEEING, WHICH IS WHY THEY ALREADY HAD A THROTTLE BODY IN STOCK. THIS SHOULD BE SENT TO RECALL; IT IS DANGEROUS, AND HAS AFFECTED MANY PEOPLE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60MPH, CRUISE DISENGAGED, STEPPED ON GAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE DOWN RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED HOME. NEXT DAY WENT TO MY ESCAPE STARTED VEHICLE AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY. CALLED MY FORD DEALER TO SET UP APPOINTMENT TO BRING IN THE CAR FOR INSPECTION. WAS GIVEN A APPOINTMENT IN 3 DAYS TIME (JULY 18,2013 @11:30AM) WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY AND SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR. FOLLOWING DAY WENT TO A MEETING WITH MY CAR, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ONCE AGAIN NO THROTTLE. DEALER SERVICE CALLED AND REPORTED THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT, ASKED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ESCAPE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY BUT NO RECALL TO DATE WAS TOLD TO KEEP THE PAID BILL ONCE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IN CASE OF A RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT UNTIL THE LAST WEEK. THREE TIMES IN THE SPAN OF AN HOUR DRIVE FROM ONE LOCATION TO MY HOUSE MY VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO SHAKE AND THEN QUIT RUNNING. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES WE WERE DRIVING 65MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND WERE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, HAVING TO ALLOW THE CAR TO IDLE TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO DO SO SAFELY. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION TODAY AND THE CAR SHOOK, AS IF READY TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, THE ENTIRE TRIP. I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ENGINE PART AND HAVE REQUESTED THE ORIGINAL PART BE RETURNED TO ME. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND IN GOOD CONDITION, AND IT IS ENTIRELY UNSAFE FOR A CAR TO UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT RUNNING, PERIOD. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR WAS USELESS. IT BEGAN JERKING, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR OR DOWN SINCE THERE WAS A SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT IN INTO PARK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO SIT FOR A MOMENT. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. IT TOOK A MOMENT FOR IT TO KICK OVER, BUT EVENTUALLY IT DID. I GOT BACK OUT ONTO THE ROAD. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN NOT MORE THAN 100 FEET DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN I PULLED IT TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME AFTER THAT WITH NO ISSUES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JULY 9, 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AT MID-DAY AND HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE BUT WAS STILL MOVING AT A REDUCED SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL STEERING. I WORKED MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. I SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. ON JULY 18, 2013 AT ABOUT 8:30 AM I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE BACK AND WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO REVVING OF THE ENGINE IT WAS SILENT. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, WAITED A MOMENT, TURNED IT BACK ON WITHOUT A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WAS GETTING NO POWER. LUCKILY THE FREEWAY WAS NOT CROWDED AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE WORKING. BUT 30 MILES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, WHEN WITHOUT WARNING, I SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER AT ALL. MY ACCELERATION WAS GONE, AND I THOUGHT THAT THE ENGINE HAD DIED, HOWEVER EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL AND GOT NOTHING, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A CONVENIENCE STORE COMING UP ON MY RIGHT, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO. AT THAT POINT I NOTICED THE "WRENCH" ICON LIGHTED UP ON THE DASHBOARD, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND SEE IF IT WAS A GLITCH, SINCE I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER IN THE DAY. AT LEAST I WAS HOPING THAT WAS THE CASE. THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO SHAKE ITSELF, WHICH STILL WORRIED ME, AND PROCEEDED TO ACT NORMALLY AS I DROVE HOME, WHERE I CURRENTLY AM. I ADVISED MY SON ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND HE CHECKED UP ON AUTO DEFECTS ON THE FORD ESCAPE AND BROUGHT THEM TO MY ATTENTION, THAT IS WHY I AM REPORTING WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY. I WILL BE BRINGING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING DUE TO MY NEEDING THE USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR WORK. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WILL BE RUNNING FIND AND THEN YOU SUDDENLY LOSE ALL POWER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART AND WERE UNSURE OF WHEN THEY COULD GET IT. I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AT ANYTIME. ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS, FORD COULD AT LEAST BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO HAVE THESE PARTS SO THAT I COULD AT LEAST PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED. *TR

WAS SITTING AT LIGHT ON A FRIDAY NIGHT TAKING A TURN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN IT STARTED TO DIE THEN GOT IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. TOOK IT IN TO FORD SHEEHY THAT SATURDAY AFTER IT HAPPENED WROTE THE COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS AND CLEANED THE THROTTLEBODY BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH MORE THAT THEY COULD DO THAN THAT AND IT WAS DRIVABLE NOW.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE NORTH WEST OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING USING CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE CONTROL WENT OFF AND CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF POWER. NO RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE OPEN END WRENCH EMBLEM CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. CAR SPEED DROPPED TO 2.5 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL DOUBLE SURGES UP TO 4.5 MPH. HAD TO DRIVE ON SHOULDER FOR 1 1/2 MILES AT 2.5 MPH IN ORDER TO GET TO AN EXIT AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. WAS ON MY OWN AND TOTALLY UNFAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. CALLED FORD MOTOR ASSIST AND THEY TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS A SUNDAY SO HAD TO SPEND NIGHT IN MOTEL BEFORE COULD SEE SERVICE PEOPLE. DIAGNOSIS ENDED UP BEING THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDING REPLACED. HAD COMPLAINED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CARE WOULD SURGE OR SHIFT FUNNY SEVERAL TIMES CLEAR UP TO JUST PRIOR TO REACHING 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED AT 37,195 AND 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME IT WAS CONSIDERED AN OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR AND COST $478.00. I AM THANKFUL IT WAS 5:00 IN THE MORNING ON A SUNDAY AS HAD THIS OCCURRED IN RUSH HOUR IN A FURTHER LEFT HAND LANE, THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WOULD LIKELY HAVE CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!!!! *TR

ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A DAY, THE CAR, WHILE MOVING, STUTTERED AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD STALL SOON THEREAFTER. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS "CHOKING" AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT FULLY TURN OFF. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A DEFECTIVE "THROTTLE BODY" AND THAT FORD HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS PART. IT WAS NOT IN RECALL YET. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THEY PAID FOR THE THROTTLE BODY PART, HOWEVER, I WAS CHARGED OVER $300.00 TO REPLACE THE PART. I AM ONLY 5,000- 6,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY ON THE CAR. *TR

COULD NOT TURN CAR HEATER ON AS THE INTERIOR FILLED WITH ENGINE FUMES ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. NOW, SUMMER OF 2013 WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON THE SAME THING HAPPENS. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT MYSELF AND 3 YEAR OLD SON ARE BREATHING THESE FUMES IN JUST DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE! ALSO, TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WITHOUT ANY POSITIVE RESULTS! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH NO HEAT AND NO AC FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. WHAT CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

ENGINE
VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 15 DAYS, TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS WITH AVERAGE SPEED BEING ABOUT 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE LITERALLY JUST TURNS OFF. IT DOESN'T SHAKE, JERK, MAKE ANY NOISE, NOTHING, JUST TURNS OFF. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW." IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO EXPERIENCE. SINCE THE CAR JUST DIES AT FULL SPEED THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR KEEPS THE CAR MOVING BUT OBVIOUSLY AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE. THIS LAST SUNDAY, JULY 14, 2013 THE CAR STALLED ON A VERY BUSY, MAJOR ROAD, SO I WAS IN A VERY CLOSE CALL FOR AN ACCIDENT. THE CARS BEHIND ME DID NOT SEE MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND DIDN'T REALIZE I HAD STALLED. ALL I HEARD WAS THE SCREECHING OF BRAKES BEHIND ME. I WAS GETTING YELLED AT, FLIPPED OFF, YOU NAME IT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO BUT HOPE THAT THE MOMENTUM WOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO PULL OVER TO RIGHT LANE UNTIL I COULD COME TO A STOP IN A SAFE PLACE. ON JULY 11, 2013, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN ON THE SUN, 7/14/13, I TOOK ANOTHER DAY OFF WORK TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS ANOTHER 2 PARTS DUE TO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 137-5. NOW I'M WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AS THEY ARE ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. I UNDERSTAND LEMON LAW REQUIRES THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN 3-4 TIMES HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME BEING THE TIME I DON'T MAKE IT. PLEASE HELP. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR
