2013 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE THROTTLE ISSUES AND CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE THROTTLE RESPONSE ON THE VEHICLE WAS HORRIBLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL HESITATION. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT HAD TO WITH THE NEW 1.6 NO BOOST ENGINE AND THE DELAYED RESPONSE OF THE TURBO. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT. ALSO, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE CLOCK WOULD RESET FOR NOT REASON AND THE PRESET RADIO STATIONS WOULD RANDOMLY GO BLANK. THE DEALER RE-LOADED THE SOFTWARE FOR THE DISPLAY TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER THE RADIO WENT COMPLETELY DEAD FOR ONE DAY, BUT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. ALSO, THE GAS MILEAGE WAS NO WHERE NEAR WHERE FORD INDICATED IT SHOULD BE ( 23 MPG CITY, 26 MPG COMBO, 33 MPG HIGHWAY).
