Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL/POWERTRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS SOME JERKING, A LOSS OF POWER AND I COASTED TO THE CURVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND DROVE MAYBE 2 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. THIS HAPPEN 4 TIMES AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. I JUST HAD A COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE ON AUGUST 14, 2013. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING MAINTENANCE DONE TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THE THROTTLE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I SEE THAT OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE FORD ESCAPE ARE HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. PLEASE MAKE FORD MOTORS ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *TR
