WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD GOING APPROX. 50MPH, I SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, IT WOULD TEND TO LUNGE FORWARD. ONCE STOPPED, I PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE THE ATTEMPTED TO START UP AGAIN. IT DID START UP, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES LATER THAT DAY. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC....COULD BE DEADLY!!! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT AS I HAVE NOW READ FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING. THE NEXT OCCURRENCE COULD BE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I SHOULD NOTE THAT AS OF 1 WEEK LATER, I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED YET AND THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 TIMES PER DAY NOW. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS MORNING I SAW THE CNN NEWS TICKER STATING YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THE FORD F150'S FOR ECO-BOOST ACCELERATION ENGINE STALLS. I HAVE A 2012 FORD ESCAPE AND THIS VERY SAME THING HAS OCCURRED TO ME 3 TIMES. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATES, BUT IT HAS BEEN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE JULY 2012. I TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, EXPLAINED MY CONCERN & WAS TOLD "IT WAS A DEFECTIVE COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROBLEM, SOFTWARE REPLACED." I HAVEN'T HAD ANYMORE MORE EPISODES OF "STALLING WITH ACCELERATION" BUT IT'S VERY EVIDENT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO DECELERATE OR SOMETIMES "JERK" WITH ACCELERATION. I'M CONCERNED NOW THAT YOU ARE ONLY INVESTIGATING THE F-150'S & SHOULD BROADEN THE SCOPE OF YOUR INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE THE ESCAPES OR ANY VEHICLE WITH ECO-BOOST. *TR
