NHTSA Complaint #10538200 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT RELATIVELY CONSTANT SPEED. THE ENGINE HESITATED, CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE ENGINE THEN STALLED. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE CAR SEEM TO RUN NORMALLY AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, ALTHOUGH IT MAY NEED TO BE RESTARTED A FEW TIMES BEFORE ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT STALLED AND SEEM UNABLE TO MAKE THE DRIVE HOME. THE ENGINE THROTTLE WAS CLEANED IN AUGUST BY A MECHANIC, BUT STALLED REPEATEDLY 3 DAYS LATER. USING DRY GAS AND KEEPING THE TANK NEARLY FULL HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE EITHER. MY EXPERIENCE SEEMS SIMILAR TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOUND AT THIS WEBSITE AND OTHER PLACES ON THE INTERNET. *JS
