Consumer Description

MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION IN AN INTERSECTION GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING SLOW AND ROUGH. THE THROTTLE HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE SPEED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF ROUGH IDLING, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN FAULT WITH THE FORD ESCAPE AND COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM ON THE ESCAPE. *TR
