Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle jerked and then accelerated rapidly. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer a few months later because the transmissions warning light had illuminated. the dealer stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 2,000. the vin was unavailable.

After stopping and upon acceleration the engine completely shuts down and the car stalls. after putting the car in park and restarting the car, it runs okay. this has happened to me 4 times over a 23 month period. each time i have taken the vehicle to the dealership. the first two times i was told the car was still breaking in and it must be due to the gas i was using. the third time, they replaced the throttle body. to my knowledge the "wrench" light only came on once. they said they had a number of vehicles that this had happened with and replacing the throttle body helped. three weeks after they replaced the throttle body, it happened again! this time only the engine light came on. ford says they need a code to try to fix the problem. the dealership told me that there was one other person, who has the same make and model as mine that this is happening too. this person also had the throttle body replaced. the fact that no code is tripped is a problem in itself! please help! i do not want anyone to be killed because of this problem. *tr
