1) accelerator pedal sticks in an upward position cannot push down to accelerate as if it is frozen. after about a half hour pushing with my foot it will releases. when stopped the pedal stick again but will release but vehicle goes in a jerking motion because it is trying to stick again this happens upon being parked or driving in the city or country it happens whenever i need to accelerate. it has started doing this within the past month but as of 11/10/17 it was completely stuck in the up position and not budging 2) electrical issues- when lights are on or anything inside the vehicle lightsaber are flickering and become slightly dim

Car has been stalling periodically for the past month on city streets (mostly) and highway (without any warning signs). each time would bring to mechanic but no codes would show up. happened again yesterday, this time the engine light came on, code that showed up was p2112. bringing to ford dealer tomorrow to fix throttle body.

My 2006 ford escape constantly and unexpectedly has a stuck gas pedal in the closed position. the cable and throttle body have been replaced several times at my expense and ford refuses to acknowledge the problem. my wife, daughter and i were nearly killed at a large intersection while trying to turn left. the car was stopped at a light with oncoming traffic approaching us in the opposite lanes. when a large gap appeared in the oncoming traffic, i tried to proceed and the gas pedal stuck as i turned. it would not depress and this left me without power and the rapidly approaching oncoming cars had to swerve so as to avoid "t-boning" our car. the other drivers stated that they did not anticipate our car suddenly failing to proceed as they approached us. they then assisted us in removing (pushing) the car from the roadway. i have complained to the local ford dealership numerous times but they refuse to provide me with a permanent repair. the pedal sticks very often and very unexpectedly. it doesn't stick open. it sticks in the fully closed position ...

My friend borrowed my 06 ford escape, which had not shown any mechanical issues. shortly after getting on the interstate hwy, the gas pedal stuck to the floor and rapidly excellerated to 85 mph plus, without warning. it is a 6 lane hwy and was saturday. putting the vehicle in neutral and using both the brake and the e brake, while trying to maneuver traffic to get to the shoulder, as a tractor trailer rig was barreling by unaware. this was an extremely dangerous situation. it is miraculous that no one was hurt. the brakes smoked and the fire department was called as a precaution. it had to be towed. upon researching further, we discovered all the complaints about the throttle body problems. i am disappointed that there have been no warnings about this issue. will someone have to die, before any actions are taken? it seems as though prevention would go further, rather than reacting to only the extremes of death and dismemberment. i am suggesting that ford take a proactive position here and notify ford escape owners. fix the issue!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford escape. the contact stated that while parking at 5 mph, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into a wall. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained bruises to the chest that did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was unable to be determined. the vehicle was then taken to a dealer who stated that the failure might be related to the throttle body. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 75,000. the vin was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford escape. while driving at any speed, the brake pedal failed and caused the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally. the abs and brake lights illuminated. the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to both the dealer and an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was no issue with the vehicle, yet the failure progressed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 83,800.

My 2006 ford escape gas pedal is sticking down when temperature outside is very cold. i could not accelerate. very dangerous. *tr

Vehicle's gas pedal constantly locks when driving no matter the climate. *tr

When it gets below 40 degrees or so my gas pedal will stick in a closed position. you have to press very hard on the pedal for it to allow the car to move however there is a large thrust forward/backward due to opening the throttle so quickly. i have nearly hit 2 cars and almost been hit several times because the car will not go. i have spoke. with ford and they state that there is no recalls regarding the issue and that there isn't anything they can do to assist. i do know that there was a recall for the same issue on the 2001-2004 and 2007 model of the escape for the same issue. i have spoken with a few others who experience the same issue and there are several complaints regarding the same problem. this is a very dangerous hazard and could cost someone a life if the problem isn't corrected. it obviously has to be an issue with the model itself. it has never happened to me since i purchased the car this past spring from my mother, who also said she experienced the same problem. *tr

Upon putting car into gear, the gas pedal would not cause the car to accelerate. car had no propulsion. important to note that the gas pedal had seemed to stick before this incident. ford motor co. refuses to cover the cost of fixing this problem, even though they have known about this issue for some time. this car was bought for my 17 yr old daughter. she did not happen to be driving at the time of the incident thankfully because she would not have known what to do in this circumstance. *tr

First it stalled out while idling, then stalled out at stop light , then upon acceleration it stalled again. while driving it hesitated again , when i accelerated it started to go again, at stop light it stalled out. it always seems to start. i called the dealer where i purchased it and no active recalls for my vehicle, called another ford dealer and same answer. i mentioned consumer program 13n03 but told it was vehicle specific. *tr

While driving, i went to accelerate, but the gas pedal was stuck in the idle position - like it froze up. i stepped on the gas pedal a few times until it loosened up. this has happened multiple times in the past few years about once every 2 months and typically on colder days less than 32 degrees f. after a throttle body cleanout by a licensed mechanic, it got worse. i looked on line for reviews on 2006 ford escapes, and saw that many, many other ford escape owners have had the same problem. there are currently no recalls on the throttle body, but this is the common problem. *tr

Gas pedal sticks whenever temperature falls below freezing. had issues since car was new in 2006, but this week issue is much worse. normally you can push hard on the gas pedal and get it to work. this week i have to wait for the car to warm up before i can drive, the gas pedal will not budge. i've read other complaints that this is a faulty throttle body and would like to know what ford plans to do about it. *tr

While driving to work at about 43 miles per hour, i went to accelerate, but the gas pedal was stuck - like it froze up. i was able to pull into a parking lot, stopped the car, and slammed on the gas pedal a few times until it loosened up. this happened again a couple of days later, but i was able to stop at a red light, and again slammed on the gas pedal until it gave in. again this happened 2 days ago on my way to work, and had to pull off the street into a parking lot and slammed on the gas pedal until it loosened up. i looked on line for reviews on 2006 ford escapes, and saw that many, many other ford escape owners have had the same problem. i brought it yesterday morning to autonation ford in brooksville, florida and it was determined that the body asy - carburetor throttle, cable asy - throttle control needed to be replaced. the service manager stated that there were no recalls on this, and that this was common in ford escapes. he stated that this was a safety hazard and advised ...
