Consumer Description

2014 FORD ESCAPE SE AWD WITH 1.6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. INFREQUENTLY UPON FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATION THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN. WHILE THE ENGINE DOES NOT STALL, POWER DISAPPEARS AND THEN POWER/ACCELERATION REBUILDS. IT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ~3000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE HEARD THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY FOR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH F150'S WITH A DIFFERENT ECOBOOST ENGINE - RELATED? *JS
