NHTSA Complaint #10542950 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO OUR VACATION, MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SURGING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSES CODE WAS P0012 AND P0022. BOTH VCT SOLENOIDS WERE REPLACED. MY 4 YR OLD CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. 2ND INCIDENT TOOK PLACE SUNDAY, 09/08/2013. WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND MY CAR CUT OFF!!! NO LIGHTS CAME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPPED, AND AT THAT TIME THE OIL & BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST INTO THE MEDIAN. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP COULD NOT SEE ME UNTIL THIS THURSDAY, 09/12/2013. SO THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FULL THROTTLE BODY. VERY SCARY & VERY, VERY DANGEROUS!!! I AM NOT DRIVING MY CAR. MILEAGE IS 34,791. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I SENT AN EMAIL TO FORD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS &HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. MY CAR IS 4 YRS OLD & HAS HAD 2 MAJOR INCIDENTS THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS. *TR
