Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH ENGINE LOST POWER MAINTENANCE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE. ENGINE WAS HARD TO RESTART. ENGINE STARTED AND I RESUMED DRIVING. NOW THIS IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE HAPPENING WITH NO WARNING. THE CODE IN THE COMPUTER IS P2112, THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEED INCLUDING INTERSTATE SPEEDS. WHILE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART I FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF ESCAPE OWNERS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR EARLIER MODELS. IT APPEARS TO ME FORD HAS YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM RELUCTANT TO INVEST THE $500-$600 FOR THE REPAIR IF IT IS JUST GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
