Consumer Description

MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE THE ACCELERATOR STOPS WORKING, THE ENGINE WRENCH ALERT COMES ON, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE HAS BASICALLY STALLED, IN THAT YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE ONLY SLOW DOWN OR COAST. AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURS YOU MUST TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN IT WILL USUALLY START UP AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL FUNCTION AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES SINCE IT STARTED, WE USUALLY JUST PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF/ON, YESTERDAY THE PROBLEM NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THOUGH AS MY SON WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. *TR
