NHTSA Complaint #10873640 — 2011 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO IDLE FUNNY, LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STOP RUNNING AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR DO ANYTHING ALMOST LIKE IT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT THIS TIME. MY FIANCEE' CAME TO WHERE I WAS AT AND HE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS BACK TO RUNNING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY BEING BAD AND THAT FORD AND FORD GARAGES WHERE REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THE VEHICLES DOING THIS AND I THINK THAT IS SO WRONG ON MANY LEVELS DUE TO FORD BEING A TOP MANUFACTURER OF VEHICLES THEY SHOULD STAND BY THE VEHICLES AND FIX ANY PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR WITH THE VEHICLES. I DON'T HAVE ANY WARRANTY AND I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY A BIG TOW BILL OR PLAY FOR A MAJOR REPAIR. *TR
