Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | June 04, 2013
Reported on June 04, 2013
| INTERMITTENTLY..SOMETIMES A WEEK APART AND THEN GOT WORSE ..THE CAR QUIT MOVING DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY CODE P2111. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND CAR RESTARTED AFTER COASTING TO A SAFE SPOT. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AS OVER 5000 WERE BACK ORDERED NATIONALLY. EVENTUALLY IN SEPTEMBER I GOT THE PART AND CAR FIXED. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED AND COSTS LESS NOW. I HAVE READ AND HEARD MANY SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT THIS PART..THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE WILL SURELY BE A RECALL AS THEY ARE SMALL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE EVEN SEEING QUITE A BIT OF THIS. I HOPE SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THANKS FOR ACCEPTING INPUT. *TR | |
