Description of the problem | 2010 ford escape xlt continues to have intermittent occurrences of "stalling in motion" with no warning. We have been lucky so far that the vehicle will coast to shoulder or a parking lot. If we drive on interstate we only travel in the right lane in case we have to coast off. Vehicle then idles roughly at about 800 rpm. Vehicle has to be put in park and shut-off. Then restart so far makes vehicle go again sometimes. Vehicle may have to be restarted multiple times to get moving again. However, this is getting more commonplace and we will not allow our young inexperienced drivers to operate the vehicle due to the extreme safety risks associated with operating the vehicle. This is placing a huge burden on our family as we cannot afford to have the vehicle repaired at ford dealer due to the high expense involved. Vehicle has check engine light with p2111 code on several occasions which specifically isolates the throttle body malfunction. This situation needs to be remedied by ford before a death occurs as it will occur soon especially on interstates or highways. |
