Consumer Description

MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE I PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2016 SINCE PURCHASING MY GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY SEIZES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH TO PROVIDE THAT OTHER YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS VEHICLE DOING THIS PUTS NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MY 4 MONTH OLD CHILD IN DANGER. DRIVING TODAY IN MICHIGAN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FOR OVER 60 MILES THIS COMPLETELY SEIZED ON ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN WHICH I THINK NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. IM HOPING FOR IT NOT TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT FOR THIS TO BE RESEARCHED. *TR
