NHTSA Complaint #10536425 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER/ STALL. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING, IT WILL GO ANOTHER 5 - 10 MILES AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. AFTER 2 - 3 TIMES IT WILL THROW THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT (CODE P2112). WE CHECKED/ CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CLEARED THE CODE. CAR RAN OK FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS (50 MILES), AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE ARE LOOKING INTO HIRING AN ATTORNEY AS FORD DOES NOT WANT TO HELP COVER THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR, AND UNCONTROLLED STALLING AND SPUTTERING IS DANGEROUS ON BUSY STREETS. TWICE, THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AND AT ONE TIME, IT COMPLETELY DIED GOING 40 MPH, AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HEAD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP US AND OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR
