NHTSA Complaint #10683721 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

MY VEHICLE STALLED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS. IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT ABOUT 5MPH AND THEN THE LITTLE GREEN WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED, THE CAR RAN FINE FOR THE TRIP HOME. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR; SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK OR SO, SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I BELIEVE IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNDER CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 BECAUSE THE COMPUTER READS NO ERROR CODE. THEY, INSTEAD, SUGGEST IT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION... BUT THESE ARE NOT TYPICAL 'SYMPTOMS' FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS EXACT PROBLEM WHEN A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY IS PRESENT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HOPE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED ASAP AS IT WILL HAPPEN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AM GOING 10, 40, OR 70MPH AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! *TR
