Ford Escape Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 06, 2013
Reported on May 06, 2013
| WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE GAS PEDAL BECOMES USELESS AND NO LONGER ACCELERATES THE CAR. THE ENGINE IS STILL ON AND ALL POWER IS ON IN THE CAR BUT YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE EXPRESSWAYS AS THE CAR CAN JUST DIE AND IF YOU CAN'T GET OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE.... YOU HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OVER, TURN OFF AND RESTART. SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT. HAS DONE THIS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. MY WIFE HAS HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS WITH ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO FIX THE ISSUE... *TR | |
