NHTSA Complaint #10598525 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON I-45 SOUTH OF HOUSTON, TX. MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LOST POWER. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE COASTING TO A STOP. LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT!!! I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. I RESTARTED IT AND THE ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITH LIMITED OPERATION, DECREASED ENGINE POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED. I EXPERIENCED FAILURE ONE MORE TIME DURING THIS TRIP. WHEN I HAD THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) PULLED IT WAS P2111, "THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN." RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET REVEALED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13003. *TR
