Consumer Description
IT HAS HAPPEN FOUR TIMES, THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25-30MPH, THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH, THE THIRD TIME ABOUT 25 MPH, EACH OF THESE TIMES MY ESCAPE WOULD LOSE POWER, THE ENGINE WAS MISSING REALLY BAD, AND THE GAS PEDAL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, YOU COULD PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN, NOTHING HAPPEN, THANKFULLY EACH OF THESE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, SET FOR A FEW MINS THEN START AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, THE LAST TIME IT HAPPEN IT WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I COULDN'T GO 50 FT WITHOUT IT DOING THE SAME THING, LOSE POWER, THE GAS PETAL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, AND THE ENGINE WAS MISSING SO BAD IT ALMOST WOULD DIE. MY CAR IS AT THE SHOP NOW, I AM WAITING ON THE COST TO HAVE MY ABOUT 2 YEAR OLD CAR FIXED SO I CAN DRIVE IT AGAIN. I HAVE READ 23 PAGES OF COMPLAINS ON THIS SITE, MORE THAN HALF IS THE SAME ISSUE I HAD WITH MY CAR. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS THROTTLING ISSUE AND FIX THE PROBLEM, AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, IT SEEMS THERE ARE ALOT OF FORD VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS COSTING ALOT OF MONEY TO HAVE REPAIRED.. THANK YOU. *TR
