Consumer Description

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THE ESCAPE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. I COASTED TO THE RIGHT TURN LANE THEN STOPPED. TURNED THE ESCAPE OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND THEN TRIED STARTING IT. IT STARTED BUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ESCAPE TO CRAWL TO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED IT BACK OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES LONGER. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES, I TRIED STARTING IT AND IT SEEMED TO RUN JUST FINE. ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, I HAD A REPEAT OF THIS. WE HAD THE REPAIR SHOP TOW IT IN, FEARING THAT IT WOULD DIE IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DEALER SAYS IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR
