Description of the problem	I was going home from work in a middle lane of the interstate at 60 mph. The escape starting coasting down as if the engine had died. I gave a little more gas, no effect. I gave more and more gas until floored, no effect. By now i was down to 45 mph in multiple lanes of heavy interstate traffic. It was difficult to just get into the right lane in order to get to the shoulder. On the shoulder, i found that the engine was idling, i thought it had died. I just could not rev it above the idle rpm. I turned it off & read the owner's manual which said to get to a dealer. I re-started it & revved it a bit. I cautiously drove about a mile on the shoulder to the exit, which was my exit. I carefully went home without further problems. I drove to work the next morning without problems. On the way home it happened again. On a small two-lane road with no shoulders & ditches immediately at the edge of the road. I had to stop in the middle of my lane to restart it. Luckily a car coming up behind me slowed to a stop to let me get going again. I researched the "throttle control / powertrain" error message and found that it has been a common problem since 2004 for multiple ford vehicles. There were many, many complaints that ford would not honor the powertrain warranty even though the message points to a powertrain problem. Warranty is for up to 36,000 miles and powertrain warranty is for up to 72,000. I had 38,000 miles on the odometer. I contacted my ford dealer. No matter how i questioned him, his response boiled down to bring it in so we can look at it. The only estimate i could get was that if warranty did not cover it, there would be a $99. 99 diagnostic fee if ford did not perform any suggested repair. I found in my records that i had taken the escape in to this dealer at ~5,800 miles for a recall that stated that it would prevent this problem!

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
