NHTSA Complaint #10544384 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

THE ABOVE AFFECTED PARTS FIELD WILL NOT LET ME CHOOSE A PART. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER - WE HAD TO GO TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE POWER WAS STILL ON IN THE CAR BUT THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND THE BOOK SAID THROTTLE/DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEMS. WE CONSULTED A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS AND WE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT INDEED THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THROTTLE/ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS. PARTS ARE HARD TO FIND ON A WAITING LIST. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TO FIX IT. WE ARE NOW GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAVE THE RECEIPT. WE FEEL WE SHOULD GET OUR MONEY BACK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS, POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
