Description of the problem	This was emailed to ford customer care in april 2012. I purchased a used 2010 ford escape v6 fwd in december 2010. The vehicle operated well until november or december of 2011 when i was driving on the highway and suddenly the brake system light came on and immediately the vehicle? S acceleration gave out. The rpms went down to an idling level (900 rpms) and the accelerator did not respond. I pulled on to the shoulder and as i was coming to a stop the vehicle began to shake until the vehicle stopped. The vehicle did turn back on and was ok to drive home. The following day it was still running ok and no sensor lights were on until the check engine light came on. The following day i brought the vehicle into a ford service centre. I was told that the purge valve needed to be replaced and would solve the problem. This was completed and i was assured that the problem had been fixed. Roughly, two months later the same issue happened with the vehicle? S acceleration stopping and engine going to an idle, but this time the powertrain light came on. This happened twice before i was able to bring in the vehicle into the ford service centre. This time i was told that the axel rod fluid was low and a seal needed to be replaced. Again i was told this fixed the problem and would not happen again. After driving around 7500 kms the vehicle had the same issue (with powertrain light on). After making an appointment, the vehicle? S acceleration gave out 3 times when driving on one trip and the check engine light came on again. It drove poorly the following day and the acceleration gave out again. I had to have the vehicle towed to ford for the service appointment. The throttle body was replaced but due to the continuous assurance that the problem had been fixed each time, i did not have faith that it had and bought a new vehicle and traded in the escape.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
