2010 Ford ESCAPE Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	986868
Internal NHTSA #	10519294
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	ESCAPE
Model Year	2010
File date	22/05/13
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	In a 35 mph zone, when accelerating after slowing to allow vehicle in front to turn, throttle stuck open & car lost power. Was able to get to side of road and restart car and proceed. Same thing happened 4 additional times that day at various speeds accelerating to speed following a stop or using an on-ramp to highway speed. Have experienced "surging" previously but dealer ignored reports as "intermittent". Car was towed to dealer on 22 may and is still there awaiting a new throttle control body. Shipment of new part is estimated as 17 june. Dealer is not providing loaner or rental car as the part is not considered part of the powertrain & is therefore approx. 6 months out of warranty. Since the car cannot "go" without the throttle control body - why is it considered part of the emission system vice the powertrain? With so many cars down for this part, it should be a recall.
