NHTSA Complaint #10554777 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF AROUND 60MPH MY TRUCK BEEPED AND SIGNALED A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND LOST SPEED AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TO A SAFE AREA. MY VEHICLE JUST COMPLETED STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE VEHICLES ARE COMING AT THE SAME SPEED BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ONCE ENTERING A RAMP ON TO HIGHWAY ACCELERATING ON TO THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. ALSO ONCE DRIVING HEAVY TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND A VEHICLE HAS TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. JUST TO KNOW THE HIGHWAY INCIDENT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WE WERE SO SHAKEN UP FROM IT THINKING A CAR WAS GOING TO HIT US SINCE THEY WERE COMING UP FROM BEHIND US AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED 60MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SOMEONE OR FAMILY BEING CRITICALLY INJURED OR LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE BEEN READING ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND SITUATION THAT OCCUR BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE FAILURE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL FROM THE THROTTLE BODY I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT ON THESE VEHICLES. UNDER AFFECTED PARTS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT BUT HAVE READ ITS THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR
