NHTSA Complaint #10542791 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS DRIVING AT 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TOOL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FORD NO LONGER WOULD GET GAS FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS SUDDENLY COASTING WITHOUT ABILITY TO GIVE GAS TO THE CAR HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. IT CAME TO A STOP AFTER I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIGH TRAFFIC AREA ALMOST GETTING HIT BY OTHER CARS. THERE IS NO WARNING IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY. SHUT OFF CAR TURNED BACK ON AND WAS FINE. ON THE 9TH OF SEPT JUST A COUPLE DAYS LATER THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT--SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TOO MANY TIMES AS BEING A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE AND IT IS A DEFECT. I AM HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AT THE FORD DEALER TOMORROW AS I HAD IT TESTED TODAY AND HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTICS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT GAVE WARNINGS. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO THE DEALER IT MUST BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. ALSO THE RPM'S WERE GOING CRAZY WHEN THIS HAPPENED EACH TIME. THE AGENCY NEEDS TO HAVE IT SO IT IS RECALLED ITEM SO THIS WOULDN'T BE COMING DIRECTLY OUT OF THE CONSUMERS POCKET--IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE FORD 2010 ESCAPE--I WANT A REFUND!!! *TR
