Description of the problem | While driving in the left lane of a 3 lane interstate, my 2010 ford escape lost all acceleration and i had to carefully maneuver to the right shoulder. As i was losing acceleration, i nearly caused several accidents as i couldn't speed up as needed. When i finally made it to a complete stop, the vehicle continued to run with the wrench light on but i could not move. I turned off the vehicle, waited about a minute and was then able to restart the vehicle to return home. Since i thought it was a one-time incident, i only mentioned it during an oil change and nothing was done. Then it became a frequent occurrence, limiting my comfort in driving anywhere beyond 10 miles. When i called the service department of the local ford dealer, they were able to diagnose the problem over the phone, without needing me to bring it in. Upon arrival at dealership, the throttle body needed was on national back order. |
