Description of the problem	While driving my mothers 2010 ford escape, it suddenly lost all power and came to almost a complete stop. The vehicle was only able to creep along, barely allowing me to pull off the side of the road. Thankfully, no one was behind me, otherwise there would have been a serious accident because as i said, it came out of nowhere and brought the vehicle from 35mph down to 2 mph in a matter of seconds. The wrench light came on the dash, indicating a "throttle control/powertrain" issue. I shut the car off, restarted it and it ran fine, however, the check engine light came on. I called my mother and it turns out that this has happened to her on 3 previous occasions, only the check engine light never came on. I had the codes checked, and that indicated "throttle actuator control (tac) system - actuator stuck open". I did a little research and it turns out that this is a very common problem and the only way to resolve it is to replace the throttle body. I found recalls from ford for throttle issues, but not this specific issue, apparently they don't consider it a safety issue. Well let me tell you, it absolutely is a safety issue. If i had been out on the main road doing 55 and this happened with someone behind me, they would have slammed right into me because there is no warning. I'm replacing the throttle body to resolve the issue but ford really needs to issue a recall, it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt, it's not just coincidence that this has happened to so many people, there is obviously a defective part.
