Ford Escape Power Train Safety Report | Jan 31, 2013
Reported on Jan 31, 2013
| I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AS I STRAIGHTEN OUT MY CAR FROM THE TURN MY CAR LOST POWER. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS BUT WASN'T GOING FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD. THE IRONIC THING IS I FELT A TUG HERE AND THERE BEFORE BUT I THOUGHT I WAS BEING PARANOID. I DON'T THINK I WAS!!! THANK GOODNESS I HAD TURNED OUT OF TRAFFIC. I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN IT ON AGAIN I REMEMBERED I HAD A TOW CARD FROM WHEN I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE. IF THIS IS SOME DEFECT I NEED TO KNOW. I HAD MY LAST VEHICLE FOR 11 YEARS AND NEVER DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO THAT I DON'T GET STRANDED AND I DID GET STRANDED. I HAD IT TOWED TO MAXWELL FORD AFTER THEY TESTED IT TODAY I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR | |
