NHTSA Complaint #10536173 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. DRIVING MY 2010 ESCAPE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE SPEED I WAS GOING WAS ABOUT 20 MPH. WITH NO PRIOR WARNING THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, THE RPM'S FLUCTUATED AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS BUT AFTER INVESTOR I FOUND IN THE INTERNET VERY SIMILAR BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER FORD ESCAPES AND IT SAID THAT AT THE END IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED I WAITED AFTER 3 DAYS WITH MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY CONFIRM THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE, BUT I TOLD THEM AND YET I HAD TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE AT MY EXPENSE AS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ENGINE STALL ISSUE OCCURRED 08/17/2013 TO 08/19/2013 ( 5 TIMES). *TR
