Ford Escape Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Aug 22, 2013
Reported on Aug 22, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF NOWHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE STOPPED WORKING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND STILL NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND RAN FINE O THE WAY HOME. 2 DAYS LATER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AGAIN AND DROVE FINE BUT ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED 7 TIMES! AFTER THE 4TH TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON EVEN THOUGH THE THROTTLE CAME BACK AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK ON. STOPPED AT THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET THE CODE AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY STUCK CLOSED. THE FACT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED THAT MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY IS A REAL DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WAY. *TR | |
