Description of the problem | 2010 ford escape engine stalls at random times: it's happened to me six times now. First while i was driving 65 mph on the interstate in the middle lane when suddenly, with no warning, i was no longer able to get enough throttle to continue moving forward. I had to coast to the side of the road. I was almost rear-ended, i really thought i was going to be killed. It is a very scary situation, going from 65 mph to nothing. The car just shuts off and goes into some type of rough idle mode and a little orange wrench appears on the dash. After stopping and turning off the engine it will start back up. First occurrence was december 7th, 2012, second and third were several days later. Fourth and fifth were january 24th 2013 and the sixth on january 25, 2013. Four times were on the interstate at speeds of 60-65mph. Two times were on main streets at 35-40 mph. Car was purchased new and all service as required has been performed at dealership. Took car in after first two stalls they stated they could find nothing wrong. |
