Description of the problem | On a city street headed out of town in the morning. Started to pull out from a stop sign into traffic when the engine began to run really rough. Stopped just into intersection. First thought it might be water in the gas. Vehicle would idle very rough between 500-800 rpm. Put isopropyl dry gas in the tank... No better after 35 minutes. Vehicle would not move! Called the dealership and ended up having it towed. Dealer called on monday to tell me the throttle body had failed and needed replaced. Cost was $417. 63. Made a comment to the service manager that the apparatus should not have gone out at 31,000 miles (vehicle out of warranty by date). The gentleman politely avoided any answer. Today i googled the problem only to find out that this is not an uncommon occurrence with 2009-2010 escapes, and the condition is under investigation. Add my name to one of the lucky recipients! |
