Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING OUR ESCAPE BACK FROM THE STORE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT LOST POWER AND THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND, THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD, THERE IS NO REASON THE THROTTLE BODY SHOULD FAIL AT ALL MUCH LESS IN A NEWER MODEL CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE. HAD WE BEEN PULLING OUT ON TO A ROAD WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! I DON'T THINK OURS IS AN ISOLATED INDECENT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR
