Description of the problem	I was driving down a boulevard in new orleans a month ago, and suddenly i lost power. The engine was on, but it would not take any gas, so i glided to a stop next to the curb. A light on the dash shaped like a wrench came on. I looked in my owner's manual and discovered the light meant that i had a problem with the power train or throttle and that i should take the car to the dealer as soon as possible. I put the car in park and turned the key off. The engine started again, and i drove it home. The next day the same thing happened twice on the way to veterans' ford in metairie. I left the car with them for four hours, but they could find no problem. This stalling continued to happen two or three times a week. Last saturday it happened while i was driving up an overpass on elysian fields, and there was no place to pull off. I stopped the car on the grade as cars stacked up behind me. On monday, i took my wife to a doctor's appointment and ran some errands, and my escape stalled four times in twenty-five miles. Yesterday when the same thing happened, the engine-shaped light on the dash came on in addition to the "wrench" light. So today i took it in to veterans' ford again and left it. I called this afternoon and was told that the "throttle body" had to be replaced but they didn't have one in stock, so i am going to have to pick the car up tomorrow and drive it--sparingly and cautiously--until they receive the part. A few minutes ago i looked up "ford escape throttle body" to find out how much one would cost and discovered that an nhtsa investigation has been underway since march. My escape is more than three years old, but i have a 5 year, 50,000 mile warranty on the power train, which may include the throttle body. The clerk at veterans' ford did not know if the warranty applied.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
