Description of the problem | I had just left work yesterday 0821/2013 and was driving maybe 40 mph. My 2010 ford escape just died on me. I had driven but a half mile. I coasted into a parking lot, turned it off. I checked under the hood and all looked ok so i tried starting it. After some hesitation, it did start. I drove it straight to my mechanic. He could not find anything wrong so i picked it back up. This morning 08/22/2013 it did it again when i was turning through an intersection, not a mile from my house. I was almost hit by an oncoming car. It did it again, on the highway, about 10 miles later. This time the check engine light came on. I drove it straight to my mechanic because i knew he should now be able to pull something up on the computer. He was able to confirm that the throttle needed to be replaced. He did tell me to call the ford dealership to see if there was a recall but there wasn't. He felt bad and gave me a great deal, $410, to replace it. Ford needs to do something!!! |
