NHTSA Complaint #11073638 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

TAKATA RECALL, WITH DRIVING MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE, I REALIZED WHENEVER I AM PROCEEDING TO PRESS ON THE GAS AT A STOP SIGN OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ACCELERATION TAKES TIME TO PICK UP SPEED, AND WHEN TRYING TO PICK UP THE MINIMUM SPEED LOCALLY IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE TO PRESS HARD FOR THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE MORE. AND WHEN I'M MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS IT STALLS, ALOT LET ALONE WHEN I HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES, IT TAKES LONG TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN. ALSO WHEN DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL, THE TRUCK APPEARS THAT IT CAN'T ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH,THE ACCELERATION IS HORRIBLE, AND I AM STARTING TO BECOME VERY AFRAID DRIVING MY OWN VERY, NOT KNOWING WETHER SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME, WHEN DRIVING.
