NHTSA Complaint #10557582 — 2011 FORD ESCAPE

I HAVE ALREADY FILED ONE COMPLAINT REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2011 FORD ESCAPE. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED IN JULY AND 3 WEEKS AFTER I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED IT STARTED MESSING UP AGAIN. THE THROTTLE BODY HASN'T GONE OUT AGAIN BUT IT BOGS DOWN LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN SECOND. AND ALSO WITH THE PART MALFUNCTIONING IT WREAKS HAVOC ON MY GAS MILEAGE. BEFORE THE PART MESSED UP AND WAS REPLACED I WAS AVERAGE ABOUT 370 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS AND NOW I AM ONLY GETTING ABOUT 266. THE PART IN UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WON'T REPLACE IT UNTIL IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT. IT ONLY HAS A 12 MONTH OR 12000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT IS GOING TO GO OUT AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I WILL BE LEFT FOOTING THE BILL AGAIN. ALSO WHEN IT BOGS DOWN THE SCENT OF RAW GAS IS OVERWHELMING AS IT FILLS THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. I AM A MOTHER OF 2 AND THIS IS MY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL GO OUT AND I WILL BE HIT AND THE GAS FUMES ISN'T GOOD FOR THEM TO BE INHALING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD MOTOR COMPANY WON'T REPLACE THEM SINCE THEY ARE VERY AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. *TR
