Description of the problem | On several occasions driving on the highway the vehicle speed goes down suddenly and all kinds of lights go on, and it dies after that. Shut off the car wait 10- 15 minutes , restart the car and prying it will take me home safely, on one occasion the card died twice in a 20 miles trip. Brought the car for diagnosis and i was told the throttle-body has to be replaced and it is not under warranty or a recall. The repair cost me $532 which i paid, later on i contacted ford corporate by phone and by email, and both told me that the repair is not covered, and they would not re-imburse me for the repair cost . I checked your website and i found almost 600 complaints similar to mine , in a way i felt i'm not alone ,on the other hand if ford has these too many complaints about the throttle - body for the 2010 ford escape , why they can not work with the nhtsa and issue a recall to replace that defective part before someone gets injured or dead by a rearend collision. Please investigate this issue , thank you |
