Description of the problem | Vehicle lost acceleration; gas pedal would not work. Vehicle moved very slowly. Throttle control/powertrain warning light appeared (wrench). Vehicle was turned off and restarted. Warning light did not reappear and car ran normally. After some online research, i found many escape owners (not just 2010 owners, but other years as well) describing very similar incidents. My mechanic checked with ford dealer for throttle body part and was told they had plenty on hand since this part seemed to be in demand. Cost me $313 dollars. |
