I WAS COMING DOWN A ROAD TO A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SHOOK THEN JUST IDLED. WHEN I LIMPPED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED OFF CAR AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE LITE WENT OUT AND IT WAS FINE. *TR
2010
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT VEHICLE 2010 FORD ESCAPE IN AUGUST OF 2011. IN FEBRUARY OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND MY ESCAPE STARTING STALLING OUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT WAS IDLING ROUGH LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. I PUT MY ESCAPE INTO PARK PUSHED SLIGHTLY ON GAS PEDAL IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SWITCHED IT INTO GEAR MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I PUT CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES STARTED IT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. I RAN FUEL CLEANER THROUGH IT. I DID NOT HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS UNTIL THURSDAY AUG 15TH 2013. I WAS DRIVING DOWN CITY ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. STARTED STALLING OUT WOULD NOT PICK UP ACCELERATION RUNNING ROUGH WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON PULLED INTO PARKING LOT BARLEY IDLING SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL I PUT CAR INTO PARK TURNED ENGINE OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED BACK ON. MY CAR STARTED FINE RAN FINE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. SO TODAY 8/20/13 IM GOING DOWN BUSY TRAFFIC COUNTRY TWO LANE ROAD NO WHERE TO PULL CAR OFF ON SIDE SAFELY. AND AGAIN ALL OF A SUDDEN GOING ABOUT 35 MPH I LOOSE ACCELERATION CAR STARTS SPUTTERING I CANT ACCELERATE RUNNING ROUGH WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON I COASTED UP TO STOP SIGN AS I HAD NOWHERE TO SAFELY PULL CAR OFF ROAD AND PUT CAR IN PARK TURN OFF ENGINE STARTED ENGINE RIGHT BACK UP CAR RAN FINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST MY FUEL FILTER MAY BE THE PROBLEM BUT AS IM READING THE 2010 FORD ESCAPES HAVE A GUARANTEED LIFETIME FUEL FILTER INSIDE THE FUEL TANK CANNOT REPLACE IT. SO AS I WAS READING MORE IN DEPTH I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM WITH THEIR 2010 ESCAPES. I NOW SEE THE PROBLEM IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE DEFECT AND AN INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE WIND UP IN CRASHES OVER THIS. *TR
