Description of the problem | 2010 ford escape. Acceleration from a stop and sluggish acceleration when entering the expressways was intermittent for about 18 months at approximately 58k miles. Car stalled at a stop light at 68k miles, was able to go after switching ignition off and then back on. Acceleration has been quite sluggish. Car is at the dealer now and i was just told it is the electronic throttle body. After research online i found that this is happening quite a bit to other ford escape owners-frightening that i let it go on this long. |
