Ford Escape Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Jan 04, 2013
Reported on Jan 04, 2013
| VEHICLE WAS AT 55 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND JUST IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. WENT INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN IT WAS PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED, IT WOULD GAIN SPEED PROPERLY AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENCES OF THIS HAPPENING SINCE JANUARY. ONCE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. ANOTHER TIME WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY GOING UP THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. ONCE MORE WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH. DURING THE ENTIRETY OF ONE DAY, IT HAPPENED SIX SEPARATE TIMES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, WE FOUND THAT THIS COULD VERY LIKELY BE A THROTTLE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *JB | |
