Description of the problem | Driving my 2010 ford escape xlt on sr 58 the vehicle began to shake, could not accelerate and the car immediately slowed down to about 3-5mph. I coasted to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. This was a very scary situation. Other vehicles were driving past & beeping, not knowing what was happening. The could have created a dangerous situation. Luckily i focused, went to the side of the road to prevent any accidents. After about 30 minutes, started the vehicle and slowly drove approximately one mile down the road the a ford dealership. Again while driving, the vehicle started to shake and i could not accelerate. The ford service dept performed a diagnostic test. The result was a failed throttle body. The service technician said the vehicle was unsafe to drive. And said the ford parts to fix the vehicle are on a national backorder for 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, i have to rent a vehicle, very expensive. Ford did not offer a loaner vehicle. Ford needs to have a recall on this part and correct their mistake before multiple fatalities occur. All ford escape owners will soon fall victim to this hazard. |
