Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED THE ESCAPE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. THE ENGINE REMAINS RUNNING BUT THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW AND DEPRESSING THE THROTTLE HAS NO EFFECT. THE ONLY INDICATION ON THE DASH IS A SMALL WRENCH SHAPED LIGHT ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. FROM THE POINT THE ESCAPE RUNS FINE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO. IT HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES. 4 OCCURRENCES ON THE HIGHWAY AND SPEED AND 2 OCCURRENCES ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS WHILE TRAVELING IN THE 20 - 25 MPH RANGE. *TR
