 Description of the problemI purchased a 2010 ford escape limited in october 2010. In just two and half of years of having the vehicle and under 50,000 miles, i had to replace the throttle body costing me $385 (after talking the service guy down to that price). The incident occurred on april 24, 2013 while driving home from work for lunch. I was driving on a busy road when my car's speed started to slow down automatically. I tried to press the gas but it would not accelerate although the engine was still on. There were no lights on indicating a problem, so i pulled into the first place i could, turned off the car and turned it back on. It started right back up so i didn't think anything of it and pulled back out onto the street. It happened two more times on my way home before i saw the first mechanic shop and turned in. By the third time the (wrench) light came on. Since i was still under the powertrain warranty the mechanic told me it was best to go to the closest ford location. After looking at my car they told me the throttle body needed to be replaced and due to what type of part it was, the repair was not covered under my warranty so i had to pay the full amount. This does not seem normal given that the car is only a few years old and less than 50,000 miles. I am fearful that more problems are to come...
