2010 Ford ESCAPE Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The problem was randomly demonstrated several times between 8/31/12 and 9/4/12. The accelerator would seem to stop working or become unresponsive, most often at speeds of 20-30 mph. There would be sputtering, stalling, and then total stoppage.. The motor was running but there seemed to be no fuel flow. I would turn it off, wait several seconds, restart it, and everything would work smoothly until, with no warning, the pattern would repeat itself. It occurred five times /3 miles, two times/1 mile, and two times/0. 5 mile. Early on 9/4, the pattern repeated three times on the way to the repair shop. These incidents produced anxiety for me and i was going slow. We did not drive the vehicle over the holiday weekend as we were concerned that this would happen on interstate highways when we would be traveling at high speeds. The error trouble codes were po685, p2111, p2112. He said the car was not safe to drive until it was repaired. Since the mechanic reported "throttle body" being the problem i researched the throttle body as it relates to the ford escape. It causes me great concern that this has been demonstrated to be a dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem on the escape since 2000 and i bought 3 new escapes within that time period; a 2002, a 2007, and the 2010 escape, and there has been no effective, corrective action taken to resolve this. The dealership has said there will be no reimbursement of the $475. 00 and this part is not under any warranty. Although the money is an issue, the greater issue is the need to prevent future deaths. I have the old part that was replaced and i am willing to do whatever i can to force this problem to be resolved. In the interest of public safety i urge you to issue an immediate recall until this problem is resolved. Thank you for your interest.
