ENGINE LOSS OF POWER, WOULD. NOT ACCELERATE,GOT OUT OF TRAFFIC, PUT ON 4WAYS, ENGINE WOULD ONLY IDLE VERY ROUGH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH WERE ON , SHUT OFF ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER LONG CRANKING, STARTED RESUMED TRIP , ABOUT 5 MILES HAPPENED AGAIN, I DID SAME ,AFTER RESTARTED DROVE 12 MILES HOME. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS . I HAVE FOUND OVER 2 HUNDRED REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM UPON FIRST TRY AND I WAS USING 2011 ESCAPE . IHAVE SINCE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS. FORD TALKS ABOUT SAFE MODE? HOW SAFE IS A 5 MPH OR LESS VEHICLE IN A 70 MPH BELT WAY????? HOW ABOUT A 1 MINUTE TO STALL MODE??? OR GET OFF THE ROAD NOW?? IT WOULD APPEAR THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND MORE CONCERNED AS TO THE ONES THAT ARE IN WARRANTY!!! IN OTHER WORDS PROTECT THE ENGINE LET THE PASSENGER FEND FOR THEMSELVES. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. WENT TO FORD THEY SUGGESTED APPOINTMENT, 1 WEEK WAS FIRST AVAILABLE, IF PROBLEM IS THROTTLE BODY PART MAY BE ON BACK ORDER, LOVELY, *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, LET COOL FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES IT DIED AGAIN. LET IT COOL AGAIN AN IT DID THIS 4 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO DEALER. THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON AUG 9 2013 BUT WOULD NOT START. DEALER EXAMINED STARTER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG BY CHECKING CODES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TODAY A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR TWO OF THOSE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. FORD NEEDS TO CHECK AND RECALL THESE CARS, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE BODY COUNTS BEFORE THEY SEE A NEED TO DO SOMETHING.*JB
