NHTSA Complaint #10494882 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP ON THE DASH DISPLAY & THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOO. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL. THE ENGINE STAYED ON & ALL OTHER FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE WORKED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF & RESTARTED THE VEHICLE & CONTINUED DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED 4 TIMES WITHIN A HALF HOUR. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING FINE EVER SINCE & THE GAS PEDAL IS MORE RESPONSIVE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. THE ORIGINAL BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO & I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I AM VERY UNHAPPY. *TR
