Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS TAKING HER MOTHER HOME ON THE 18TH OF JULY WHEN THE ESCAPE STARTED TO HESITATE AND SURGE GOING UP A HILL. WHEN SHE PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE.THE POWERTRAIN AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON SO SHE CALLED ME IMMEDIATELY. SHE WAS AFRAID TO LEAVE IT RUNNING SO SHE SHUT IT DOWN. WHAT MADE THINGS WORSE WAS THE FACT THAT IT WAS 97 DEGREES OUT THAT DAY AND SHE HAD HER MOTHER WITH HER WHO IS HANDICAPPED. AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED A BIT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY TO HER MOTHER'S HOUSE. AFTER DROPPING HER OFF, THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN TWICE ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. AS A FORMER MECHANIC AND NOW A PARTS PERSON I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
