Ford Escape Power Train Safety Report | Sept 27, 2013
Reported on Sept 27, 2013
| WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2011 ESCAPE IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE . IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING THE ISSUE (AND WHO WOULD BE) IT IS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER A FAILING VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE ISSUE CLEARED. INVESTIGATING THIS AM I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM YET. IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE, THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR | |
