Description of the problem | I was driving along and my car stopped receiving input from the gas pedal at 50 mph entering the highway. This happened a month ago. This has happened twice as well as my car taking off when i accelerate from stopped position. Today 7/31/14 the gas pedal failed to work again when in a turn thank god nobody was behind me. You guys know there is a throttle body issue with all these ford escapes but yet you let them get away with this. Does someone have to die from a rear end collision because the throttle stays closed on the highway? People's lives are at stake here. My wife and kid are in this car what happens i go to pull out and it decides to just stay stuck halfway into the lane bam i get t boned then have to sue everyone that knew about this issue. |
