Description of the problem | I had a problem with acceleration where the escape would cough and buck when trying to accelerate. At that time ( a couple of weeks after purchase), i took it back to the dealer and they sent it for a "software update". It didn't buck continually after that, but was still gutless and slow. Yesterday 8/2/2013, i was at a stop light and tried to accelerate and the car just wouldn't go. Engine still running, but no power to propel forward. "wrench" light came on dash and i coasted to repair garage at corner. I restarted engine and light went away. Garage employees recommended i keep driving to see if light comes back on. I continued on my way and was turning right and as i made the turn, the escape completely lost power. Thankfully i had a shoulder to coast on to or i would have been hit by oncoming traffic. This time, "wrench" light and "engine" light came on. I had to be towed to a ford dealership and the repair was made there. The diagnosis and correction was for a throttle body. From my repair slip it says "10foz retrieved codes p2111/p2112 - faulty after researching the problem online, i see it has been an issue with others. Mine was fixed under the warranty. I am reporting the problem just in case you are keeping records of how many ford escapes have had this problem. |
