 Description of the problemOn 6/18/13 driving on a 45 mph road slowed to make a turn and lost all power to by 2010 ford escape, also the wrench showed up on my dash. I turned it off and back on again and it ran fine. The next day took it to my local dealer in clarion, pa and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. On 7/1/13 i experienced the same problem, driving 45 mph when i experienced complete loss of power. This time the vehicle was sputtering, turned it off & back on but had to give it gas to start. The wrench showed up again. Called the local dealer in clarion, pa and stated i had researched this on the internet & found 21 pages of other people experiencing the same exact problem with the majority having to have the throttle body changed. Also found that nhtsa is investigating the complaints. I don't appreciate it when the dealership does not take the severity of this problem seriously. They stated they would order part but didn't know when it would come in. I called another local dealership & they said they could have the part in 3 days. What's up with that? Really don't like driving this vehicle since you never know when it is going to occur. This is definitely a safety issue and feel it should be addressed by ford. Do we need to have numerous people getting killed before something is done about it?
