Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 50 - 65 MPH, MY ESCAPE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. THE ENGINE REMAINS RUNNING, BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY AFTER MOVING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT IS INDICATED ON THE DASH. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING, THE PROBLEM IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA SITE, THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURS IN THE ESCAPE AND FORD FUSION. FORD IS COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY. A LOCAL FORD DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE PART FOR APPROXIMATELY $600. I PURCHASED THE PART FOR $350 AND WILL REPLACE MYSELF AS IT IS A SIMPLE 10 MINUTE JOB. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND I WISH THAT FORD WOULD TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. *TR
