NHTSA Complaint #10486588 — 2008 FORD ESCAPE

AS THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GETTING COLDER, I STARTED TO NOTICE HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS FOR ME TO ACCELERATE. THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN OCCURRING EVERY MORNING. ON WEDNESDAY I MENTIONED IT TO THE FORD SERVICE PERSON AND HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE BODY THROTTLE. ON THURSDAY I NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM CONTINUED MORE FREQUENTLY AS I DROVE TO WORK. UPON INTERNET SEARCHING I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT YOUR INVESTIGATION AND WANTED TO ADD MY INFORMATION. TODAY I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AND THE BODY THROTTLE WAS REPLACED. WITH THE WEATHER GETTING COLDER AND THIS PART WILL MOSTLY LIKE WILL WORK HAP HAZARDLY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY FORD. HOW MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS AND INNOCENT PEOPLE MUST BECOME VICTIMS BEFORE SAFETY PROCEDURES ARE IMPLEMENTED?
