Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | May 09, 2013
Reported on May 09, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AND THE ENGINE RANDOMLY DIED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40MPH. ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO/ELECTRONICS REMAINED ON (NEVER LOST TIME OR PRESET RADIO STATIONS, HEADLIGHTS, DASH, ETC) BUT AS I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS, IT WOULDN'T RESPOND. WHEN I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE RPMS WERE AT 0 AND THE BATTERY LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT WAS ON. NO CODES THROWN OR CHECK ENGINE OR WRENCH LIGHT. AS I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK, I ATTEMPTED TO START IT, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. DIDN'T COUGH OR CRANK AND CRANK...FIRED JUST LIKE IT WAS BRAND NEW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP AND THEY CHECKED NORMAL ISSUES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE ESCAPE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THEN I DID RESEARCH AND DETERMINED THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UPON THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES, OF WHICH THE MOST RECENT WAS IN JULY AND SEPTEMBER. *TR | |
