Description of the problem | I was driving down the road at night, going 40 mph on a street when suddenly my car decelerating without warning and came to a stop on the side of a busy street. The engine light came on however, i was not able to get it to move. I had the tow company come get me and dropped it off at the ford dealership. It appears that the throttle body went out while i was driving. Normally i wouldn't report this, but it seems to be a common dangerous event with the ford escape. |
