2010 Ford Escape VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY MORNING HIGHWAY MY THROTTLE WENT OUT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND FIND A WAY OUT OF TRAFFIC, WITH NO WAY TO ACCELERATE. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A ONE TIME FLUKE, UNTIL IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. MY CAR SERVICE PROVIDER ISN'T ABLE TO DO MUCH FOR ME SINCE NO WARNING SENSORS HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED DURING ANY EVENT. THE THREE OCCURRENCES WERE AT SPEEDS OF 55, 25 AND 60 MPH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND SCARY PROBLEM. WHAT IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME? WHEN WILL FORD BE HELD FULLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED HAVING WITH ESCAPE THROTTLES AND THEIR SENSORS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,200. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER WANTED $400 TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WAS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 12 MONTHS. . THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE, AS THE THREE YEAR 36,000 MILES WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,400.

I WAS DRIVING FROM MISSISSIPPI TO KANSAS. HAD THE VEHICLE SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AND IT JUST QUIT. STARTINGSLOWING DOWN AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE USING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT CLICKED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FINALLY TURNING OVER. IT NEVER DID IT AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY AND NOW IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY WITH NO INDICATOR(S). THERE IS NO WAY A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD SHOULD GAVE A MAJOR FUNCTIONING PAFT MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT. AND DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE PRICE WE PAY FOR A VEHICLE. ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT (IF IT HASNT ALREADY) SUDDENLY LOSING POWER LIKE THAT IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND AT ANY SPEED IS DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOLLOWED BY THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ENGINE AND WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING INDICATORS. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS ON A MASSIVE BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE PEDAL OF THE GAS STOP WORKING COMPLETELY THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ROLLED UNTIL IT STOPPED. ALL VEHICLES BEHIND US STARTED TO BEEP AS WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR WE CHECKED AROUND THE CAR HAD NO ISSUES IN THE ENGINE . WE STARTED AGAIN AND IT WORK FINE. SINCE THE 1ST ACCIDENT THE SAME THING HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK AND ONE TIME AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH ON IN MOUNTAINS OF MARYLAND, 3HRS FROM HOME WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND THEN I HAD NO POWER AT ALL EVEN THOUGH I WAS DEPRESSING PEDAL. SEEMED TO BE IDLING AND COASTING. WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED....PULLED OVER TO EMERG LANE QUITE SHAKEN UP VEHICLE WAS IDLING VARY ROUGH. WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. SHUT OFF VEHICLE, WAITED ABOUT 10MIN. THEN RESTARTED LIGHT WAS OFF. BOOK IDICATED POWERTRAIN OR THROTTLE ISSUE. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES THEN SAME THING OCCURED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES. MADE IT TO A DEALER AND HAD SOMEONE PICK ME UP. 38000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE - ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS PART TO FAIL. HAD REGULAER MAINTANANCE AND EVEN HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND REPROGRAM DONE AS PART OF A TECHNICAIN BULLETIN. PART HAS BEEN BACK ORDERED FOR 3 WEEKS. STILL NO VEHICLE. THERE IS A DEFINITE VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE HERE. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BY LOSING ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THE SUV COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION AT 45MPH. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I WAS ON A BRIDGE & THE EMERGENCY LANE WAS SO NARROW THAT TRAFFIC WAS WITHIN INCHES OF ME. I SAT FOR A WHILE AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE MADE IT OFF THE BRIDGE WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP, BUT BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT DATE I HAD TO MAKE AN EXTENDED TRIP OUT-OF-STATE. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED WAS EVEN WORSE. IT OCCURRED EXACTLY ONE WEEK LATER. I WAS TAKING MY HUSBAND TO THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. LESS THAN 40 MILES OF THE AIRPORT AND WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, IT COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE SAT FOR A SHORT WHILE. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND BARELY MADE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER SITTING IN A HOTEL FOR THREE DAYS, WE FINALLY LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY PART IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE! AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN LAGRANGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION AND EXPECTS US TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A 3 WEEK OR LONGER RENTAL CAR (THE PART WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL JULY 2). THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EVEN TELL US WHEN WE CAN EXPECT OUR VEHICLE TO BE FIXED! AND THEY EXPECT US TO PAY FOR LABOR AND THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, TOO! THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS GOING TO COST US: AN AIRLINE CANCELLATION FEE - $100; 2 NIGHTS OF NON-REFUNDABLE HOTEL ROOMS (I WAS CONTINUING ON FROM ATLANTA TO VISIT A RELATIVE) - $130; 2 ADDITIONAL NIGHTS OF HOTEL IN LAGRANGE $140; RENTAL CAR - $588 (AND WILL BE HIGHER, I'M AFRAID); 2 ADDITIONAL TANKS OF GAS $90 (I HAVE TO RETURN THE RENTAL CAR TO GA FROM FL); THE REPAIR & PART - $500-$600. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART AND WHY A DEALERSHIP WOULD BE SO UNWILLING TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO US FOR A PROBLEM THAT WE DIDN'T CREATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 64 MPH, THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 65 MPH, CAR DECELERATES AND STARTS CUTTING OUT, WE HAVE TO STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, KILL THE ENGINE, RESTART, AND GO AGAIN. DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, NO SHOULDERS, STEEP SIDE DITCHES IT DIED 6 TIMES IN 7 MILES. THIS IS JUST THE LAST INCIDENT, THERE WERE MANY OTHERS. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY BEING BAD, HAD IT ORDERED. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A 3 MONTH BACK ORDER, BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH NO RECALL. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,800.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY AND SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING SPEED, LIKE THERE WAS NO GAS GETTING IN, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED UP AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK HOME AND APPREHENSIVELY DROVE IT TO THE DEALER 2 DAYS LATER. IT TOOK THEM 2 DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS BACK ORDERED. THEY GAVE ME NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN I MIGHT EXPECT THE PART IN SO AT THE MOMENT IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER. I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO USE BUT I DOUBT THEY'LL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS OR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES TO GET THE PART IN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE I REFUSE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE! *TR

I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO HESITATE AND THEN LOST ALL FUNCTION TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT APPEARED TO WORK FINE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE ESTIMATE BUT SAW ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND NEEDED TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD TAKE THIS AS A LOSS FOR THE SAFETY AND BETTERMENT OF ITS CLIENTS. *TR

THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM OF MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE IS STUCK CLOSED PER THE P2112 CODE. *TR

WHILE GOING ABOUT 65 TO 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOSE SPEED AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE USING GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER TO THE BERM AND STOPPED THE CAR, BUT LEFT ENGINE RUNNING. I THEN TRIED TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE ON THE BERM, BUT CAR STARTED "BUCKING". WE WERE ON A TRIP AND NOT PARTICULARLY CLOSE TO HOME, SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY "PULLED THE CODES" AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY THEN TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT SEEMED OK. WE HAD NO PROBLEM AFTER THAT UNTIL 4/29/13. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON WAY TO WORK, PULLED OVER, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE THEN RESTARTED IT AND HAD NO PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TO HER AGAIN YESTERDAY (5/5/13). FRANKLY, ALL 3 INCIDENTS PUT US IN A DANGEROUS PREDICAMENT AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

THIS WAS EMAILED TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE IN APRIL 2012. I PURCHASED A USED 2010 FORD ESCAPE V6 FWD IN DECEMBER 2010. THE VEHICLE OPERATED WELL UNTIL NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OF 2011 WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE?S ACCELERATION GAVE OUT. THE RPMS WENT DOWN TO AN IDLING LEVEL (900 RPMS) AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT RESPOND. I PULLED ON TO THE SHOULDER AND AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE DID TURN BACK ON AND WAS OK TO DRIVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT WAS STILL RUNNING OK AND NO SENSOR LIGHTS WERE ON UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A FORD SERVICE CENTRE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS COMPLETED AND I WAS ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. ROUGHLY, TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE?S ACCELERATION STOPPING AND ENGINE GOING TO AN IDLE, BUT THIS TIME THE POWERTRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD SERVICE CENTRE. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE AXEL ROD FLUID WAS LOW AND A SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER DRIVING AROUND 7500 KMS THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE (WITH POWERTRAIN LIGHT ON). AFTER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT, THE VEHICLE?S ACCELERATION GAVE OUT 3 TIMES WHEN DRIVING ON ONE TRIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT DROVE POORLY THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THE ACCELERATION GAVE OUT AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD FOR THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED BUT DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED EACH TIME, I DID NOT HAVE FAITH THAT IT HAD AND BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE AND TRADED IN THE ESCAPE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 3 LANE INTERSTATE, MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND I HAD TO CAREFULLY MANEUVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AS I WAS LOSING ACCELERATION, I NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AS I COULDN'T SPEED UP AS NEEDED. WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ON BUT I COULD NOT MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE AND WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RETURN HOME. SINCE I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME INCIDENT, I ONLY MENTIONED IT DURING AN OIL CHANGE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. THEN IT BECAME A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE, LIMITING MY COMFORT IN DRIVING ANYWHERE BEYOND 10 MILES. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OVER THE PHONE, WITHOUT NEEDING ME TO BRING IT IN. UPON ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP, THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. *TR
