Consumer Description

MY 2011 FORD ESCAPE WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN MERGING TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO CONTROL MY SPEED. AS MY CAR QUICKLY REDUCES SPEED ON A MAJOR FREEWAY I ATTEMPT TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF HARM'S WAY, HIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. SO I CALL THE SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME IT'S A PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BUT WHEN I TAKE THE CAR TO MY DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME SORRY AFTER TWO KEY CYCLES THE CODE DISAPPEARS SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE CAR AND WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I CAN BRING IT IN.
