Consumer Description

THIS IS TO REPORT A RECENT ISSUE WITH MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE. I WAS DRIVING 65 - 70 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY ACCELERATOR DIED. IT IS LIKE LOSING THE BRAKES BUT THE OPPOSITE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT DO ANYTHING AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON THE SIDE FOR EMERGENCY STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN GIVEN THAT IT IS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF A CRASH WITH ANY VEHICLE AROUND YOU AT THE TIME OF SUDDENLY LOSING YOUR SPEED IN A HIGHWAY. THE DASH SHOWED A WRENCH LIGHT, WHICH TELLS ME TO BRING THE CAR TO DEALER. THE DEALER ON THE OTHER HAND WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND A SERVICE CODE FROM COMPUTER. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR THE 2ND TIME, THEN THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY EVEN WITHOUT GETTING A SERVICE CODE. SO FAR NO REPEAT OF THE PROBLEM. BUT I THINK FORD SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS FOR RECALL ISSUE AND FOR SAFETY REASON SINCE I SEE SIMILAR DISCUSSIONS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THE WEB. *TR
