Description of the problem | For about a month, when i would first begin to leave my residence, the ford escape would surge forward maybe 5 to 10 feet while already in motion on the street. Then the escape stalled completely when i slowed down to make a turn... Thank god i did not turn in front of some on-coming vehicles. The escape has also felt like it wanted to stall several other times while driving around town before it finally did just before that turn i already mentioned. Ford has not offered to buy this vehicle back (outside of a trade-in for a new purchase) but i sure wish to god they would. I had the vehicle looked at by ford & they had to replace the throttle body for the third/3rd time! It is under a 150,000 mile recall for this very problem. Our vehicle has just over 70,000 miles & we have had to have the throttle body replaced 3 times! We bought the escape brand new... Nearly $40,000 with all the bells & whistles... I think we average about 8,000 miles before each major problem... Insane.... Disgusting. |
