Description of the problem	While driving from central fl to asheville, nc. My 3. 0 litr escape basically lost all power a total of 6 different times on interstates 95 and 26 between savannah, ga and columbia, sc. Driving along at posted highway speed limit, engine would unexpectedly start losing power and eventually come to a stop in the emergency lane. The tachometer indicated that the engine was running at about 1000 rpm, but it would not take and thottle and barely move. Switching the engine off and restarting, reset something and allowed me to continue driving normally but only for about 20 miles before doing the exact same thing. This was a saturday about noon and calling several ford dealers was useless as most said they were getting ready to close, or could not look at it until monday. Not wanting to ruin our vacation, we tried to continue with the above scenario repeating itself at least 6 more times, each time getting more and more dangerous, as traffic was heavy and each time the engine would lose power instantly and almost caused accidents before we could get off the road into the emergency lane. Finally called a ford dealer in columbia, sc that was open till 4pm. And said they could check it out. Made it there at 3:30 pm and they diagnosed the trouble as a code p2111 throttle body stuck open. They had the part in stock and $326 later we were on our way. Vehicle only had 41k miles. Internet research has revealed several hundred complaints of the same exact trouble happening to them. There is even a youtube video showing this described trouble actually taking place, after a frustrated driver could not get any ford dealer to recreate the trouble and take care of it, he videod it acutally happening. My calls to ford motor co customer service, and my emails were a waste of time. Ford is ignoring a very dangerous problem that will get them many lawsuits i am sure. Ford needs a recall now!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
