NHTSA Complaint #11013409 — 2006 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR SHUT DOWN, AND I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. IT WOULDN'T START AT FIRST, THEN I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY JUST FINE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE THROTTLE BODY HAS A DEFECT GETTING OPEN OR CLOSED, CODES P2111 AND P2112, RESPECTIVELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS BY FORD. I WAS ALREADY VICTIM OF ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE MEP FAILING THAT CAUSED THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN, COMPLETE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. WHAT KIND OF JOKE FOR A SAFE VEHICLE IS THIS? I'M ABHORRED AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD, AND I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE I SPEAK TO KNOWS HOW MUCH FORD DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
