NHTSA Complaint #10554059 — 2011 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH, WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW. I NOTICE THAT THE WRENCH ICON WAS LIT ON THE DISPLAY. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT ONLY AT ABOUT 1000RPM AND STILL SLOWING DOWN. INCREASING THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO AFFECT ON THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD ON TO A SIDE STREET. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO PULL ITSELF ALONG, BUT ONLY AT A SNAILS PACE. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHUT ENGINE OFF FOR A MINUTE OR 2, RETRIED STARTING IT AND IT CRANKED SO I MADE IT HOME. THE CAR DONE THE VERY SAME THING THE NEXT NIGHT, THIS TIME DRIVING AT 65MPH ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY.. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED CONCERNING THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BE HAPPENING. A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR
