 Description of the problemFor the 2nd time in 2 1/2 weeks, my 2010 ford escape has stalled on me. Today it happened while driving on the highway and nearly causing an accident. Thank god i was able to pull over to the shoulder, although without being able to accelerate at all no matter how much i pressed on the pedal. Once i got on the shoulder of the highway and hit the brake, my car jerked a little and then shut off. The first occurrence happened 2 1/2 weeks ago while i was pulling out of a fast food drive-thru. As i started to accelerate, it would not go anywhere. I pushed the pedal all the way down to the floor and my car wouldn't move at all. Then all of a sudden it started jerking and finally stalled on me just as it did today. When i restarted my car, it took a few seconds longer than usual. Last week i took it in for an oil change to my mechanic and explained the first occurrence to him. After he checked it out he stated that it's a throttle body issue which will be expensive. Since then, i have been searching online to see if anybody else has had the same issue with their ford escape and as expected, i found tons of complaints from other ford escape owners that have had the same issue. I contacted the dealership today where i purchased my car and they told me that it would cost $105 just to run a diagnostic. They also stated that the extended warranty that i purchased when i bought the car does not cover any expenses to get this problem fixed. Although there doesn't seem to be any recalls on any 2010 ford escapes that i could find online, i believe there should be a recall placed as this is a huge safety issue. With so many other complaints i've found online, i don't understand how ford hasn't done a recall.
