NHTSA Complaint #10544869 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL AND WENT TO AN EXTREMELY ROUGH IDLE WITH THE VEHICLE SHAKING LIKE A LEAF IN THE WIND. HAD TO EXIT HIGHWAY THROUGH TRAFFIC AS THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT RESPOND IN ANY POSITION. IT WAS EARLY MORNING WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC THANKFULLY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED LATER IN THE DAY DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC.
