Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While being driven on a local 45 mph street, our escape appeared to stall as if it were not getting gas. The driver was able to "baby" the car to a less busy street where the car could not increase speed more than about 15 mph. The driver then turned off the engine for a few minutes. The engine was restarted and car speed was able to increase to 45 mph. We then drove the car to a local ford dealership where it was repaired by replacement of the throttle body a couple of days later. We asked if it could be anything other than the throttle body but were informed by the dealership that it was typical of a ford 2010 escape to have the throttle body replaced with mileage close to that of our car. |
