| 2011 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | TRAVELING ON 2 LANE ROAD AT 55 MPH. ENGINE SET AT CRUISE CONTROL SPEED WHEN POWER WAS LOST. VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS COASTING, THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON A SIDE STREET, THEN HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I CHECKED WEB SITES LAST NIGHT AND FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH FORD ESCAPES AND MARINERS. COST OF REPAIR WAS $382.37 AND NOT COVERED FOR ANY REIMBURSEMENT BY FORD/LINCOLN. CUTTING OFF LIKE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PLACES OCCUPANTS AT RISK FOR SERIOUS INJURY. *TR |
| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | VERY DANGEROUS THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION: AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH I PRESSED THE GAS AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO POWER...NOTHING. I HAD POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY AND WENT INTO WHAT I LATER FOUND OUT WAS SAFE MODE. IT WAS IDLING ROUGH AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIME IN THREE DAYS. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHERE THIS OCCURED THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH, I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND I WAS VERY LUCKY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. NO CODE APPEARED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER EVEN THOUGH THIS OCCURED FOUR MORE TIMES. *TR |
