Ford Escape Power Train Safety Report | Dec 12, 2012
Reported on Dec 12, 2012
| MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING A POWER TRAIN ISSUE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. A WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, THEN MY CAR SLOWLY POWERS OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I AM OR HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING. THE SCARIEST INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH. AGAIN, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SLOWLY POWERED OFF. LUCKILY IT WAS LATE AND THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR, WHICH STARTED UP FINE. THE CAR HAS NOW DONE THIS 4-5 TIMES. AGAIN, THE SCARIEST INCIDENT WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE IS A STUCK THROTTLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ORIGIN OF THE FORD ESCAPES DATING BACK TO YEAR MODEL 2004- WITH ONE FATALITY AND MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE, I.E. RECALL ISSUED. *TR | |
