Description of the problem | While traveling at a speed of approximately 65mph my 2010 ford escape failed to accelerate. My speed dropped to a crawl and i was forced to drift to the breakdown lane. At this point the car was jerking back and forth and would not move forward. I turned off the car and re-started, and drove no more then 45 mph to my dealership. About 1 week after the first occurrence, it happened again at a very low speed, approximately 25 mph. I again pulled over and noticed a wrench illuminated on the control panel. Again i brought the vehicle to the dealership, no resolution. The dealership is now asking me to drive the vehicle with a diagnostic device attached to capture data at the next failure. This is a very serious safety concern! I am concerned that this sudden loss of acceleration will result in an accident and possible injury. |
