We had our 2011 escape in the dealership 2 times due to it completely shutting down while driving before they could figure out that is was a failed throttle body (electrical issue). they told us it was "bad gas" every other time. we had our infant in the vehicle when it shut down on the freeway and scared the crap out of us. thankfully we were able to get away from other vehicles and make an emergency exit from the freeway onto the shoulder until the vehicle came to a stop. its extremely dangerous and ford needs to address this and create a recall. i have done research to find so many others with the same exact issue. our vehicle is in the shop as we speak to the tune of a $500 fix and i just got off the line with ford customer service to demand a reimbursement. i am waiting to hear back from them to see if they will work with us on the cost. our vehicle only has 44k miles on it and we had it serviced before the warranty expired and were told everything was fine. we also had it in for service other times for this issue. *tr
I was about two blocks from home, driving the suv and slowed down to turn the corner, when i tried to hit the gas to accelerate, the car wouldn't accelerate past 5mph. the wrench icon came on, and the rpm wouldn't go past 1. when i restarted it, it worked fine. i had the car towed to the dealership. this is the second time that this has happened. my car is only 2 years old. the first incident was when it was 6 months old. *tr
When accelerating on the highway and reaching 60mph, suddenly the acceleration stopped and the car began to go into limp mode. with no acceleration, i veered off the highway and was unable to throttle the car forward. when in park, the engine seemed to be "kicking" and struggled to stay on. wrench light went on. turned car off. turned car back on after a long hesitated start and the vehicle was able to move forward with acceleration. wrench light came off. i took the car to the ford dealership and they told me i needed a new throttle body. i replaced the throttle body. similar issue happened with a friend of mine, same year, make, and model. his was under warranty, mine not. *tr
Receiving a p2111 code on diagnostics. needs new throttle body. on national backorder. i am out a vehicle until this is repaired, and cannot afford a rental, or a new one. it is my understanding that this is a common problem on these vehicles, that ford has known about. they need to issue a recall. *tr
I was traveling 60 mph on the highway when the vehicle lost power, i had to coast over to the side of the road, turn off the vehicle and turn it back on. the vehicle would start but then return to idle with no throttle response. this went on repeatedly before i had to have it towed to a dealership. because this occurred on a saturday afternoon the service department was closed and i was unable to speak to anyone. first thing monday morning when i went in they first told me they did not know about the problems with the throttle control unit. upon presenting them with numerous copies of complaints filed on line they finally acknowledged that there was a problem. however with no recall i would need to pay for a replacement which with towing resulted in a $550.00 bill. apparently i was very lucky that there was one replacement in stock (hmmm), otherwise it would be weeks. i hope the replacement works because it has been a chronic problem for months. skeptical to say the least. *tr
I was driving on an interstate at approximately 75 mph, when the engine of my 2011 ford escape seemingly shut down. the gas pedal stopped working. a small golden wrench icon lit up to the left of the rpm gauge. i pulled over and as i slowed, the car jerked. i turned the car off; took out the keys and waited a few minutes. the engine had a little extra trouble to restart; but it did within 30 seconds. two days later, a diagnostics test at my ford dealership showed the throttle body needed to be replaced; but i was told the part was on a national back order. the same incident repeatedly happened for a total of about 10 times, before the part was at the dealership and able to be replaced. the part was replaced more than two weeks after the diagnostics test and initial incident. *tr
My car has "missed" or "skipped" a couple of times in the past few weeks. yesterday, it quit pulling. the motor was still running, but would not accelerate. the engine light and the wrench light came on. when i was able to pull over, while coasting, i turned off the ignition - restarted the car, and drove another 2 miles, and it happened again. i restarted the car, drove another couple of miles, and it did it again. i was able to get my car home, which was only 2 miles from where i stopped the last time. i understand it's a problem with the throttle body - an ongoing problem with ford escape. my escape will go to the dealership tomorrow. *tr
My vehicle stalled while i was turning - this is the fourth time i have had it serviced for stalling - the other three times they have accused me of filling it too much, which i do not - and they have changed the fuel vapor store - evap canister. obviously, this is not the problem. i also have transmission issues where it jerks and makes a loud noise into reverse. i love my car, but can't deal with the issues it continually gives me - my next car will be a gm product. *tr
After traveling for a approximately 45 minutes, my car stopped accelerating down the road. at this point my gas pedal would not make a difference in rpm or speed, then my engine began shaking violently. i barely was able to make it to the shoulder of the interstate. then, a wrench light came on the dash of my vehicle. i then turned the ignition off. upon restarting the vehicle, the light was gone and the gas pedal worked once more. i merged into traffic and continued on my trip with slight hesitation on the remainder of my trip. this whole scenario happened again on the 19th of july 2013 only 20 minutes into my trip home. vehicle is currently at ford dealership being checked out. *tr
My wife was taking her mother home on the 18th of july when the escape started to hesitate and surge going up a hill. when she pressed on the gas pedal there was no response from the engine.the powertrain and engine lights came on so she called me immediately. she was afraid to leave it running so she shut it down. what made things worse was the fact that it was 97 degrees out that day and she had her mother with her who is handicapped. after the engine cooled a bit, i was able to drive it the rest of the way to her mother's house. after dropping her off, the vehicle broke down twice on the way to the repair facility. it turned out to be a problem with the throttle body. as a former mechanic and now a parts person i can say with confidence that this is definitely a safety issue. *tr
Driving home from work, i was traveling at aprox. 35mph when it first happened. my rpm gauge started to "bounce" from 1 to 4 repeatedly. make it very hard to stop and could not give it gas. at the same time, my power-train warning light came on along with my check engine light. i was able to pull over and call for assistance. *tr
Vehicle has been stalling daily since july 2013. vehicle when in for service 4-30-14 do to drivers concern of vehicle crashing at freeway and surface street speeds. on 4-29-14 the vehicle stalled (5) times and seems to stall during throttle changes from closed to traffic flow speeds. the "check engine light" and "fill cap" light were on. dealer pulled codes p144a, p1450 and p2196 and replaced the purgevalve (9u5z-9c915-h). this is a major safety concern along with the vehicle exceeding emission. *tr
While driving at freeway speeds, a/c was running (max a/c) and suddenly white smoke/mist was coming out of vents. the cabin started to smell like coolant. no indicator lights came on, engine temp remained normal, but it continued to come out along with cool air. this initially happened during morning commute, and same thing happened during evening commute. after taking to dealership for service, the diagnosis was that the heater core needs to be replaced, at an estimate of $1,150. called ford to report the problem, as a heater core should not have to be replaced on a vehicle with this few miles on it, and just over two years old. waiting for resolution. will be almost a week without car. *tr
I was driving down a neighborhood street, when without warning, i suddenly had no power at all. my acceleration was gone, and i thought that the engine had died, however everything was running, and the engine light was not on. i pumped the gas pedal and got nothing, fortunately there was a convenience store coming up on my right, which i was able to turn into. at that point i noticed the "wrench" icon lighted up on the dashboard, i thought it might be a good idea to turn the engine off and see if it was a glitch, since i had just had the oil changed at the dealership earlier in the day. at least i was hoping that was the case. the car started perfectly, it took a few seconds to shake itself, which still worried me, and proceeded to act normally as i drove home, where i currently am. i advised my son about what happened and he checked up on auto defects on the ford escape and brought them to my attention, that is why i am reporting what happened to me today. i will be bringing this to the attention of the dealership first thing tomorrow morning due to my needing the use of my vehicle for work. *tr
At a stop light. step on gas pedal when light turns green, nothing happens. able to get car to side of rode. wrench light on. turn car off and on. wrench light gone and car drives fine. took car to my mechanic that same day and nothing "registered" on the car's computer so no problem identified, although i was told it "might" be the "throttle body," as he'd just replaced one on another ford. as a "safety precaution" i was told that i could put the car in neutral and turn it on/off to get it going if it should happen on the highway. called the ford service people and told them exactly what happened - they also told me that they can not fix anything if nothing registered on the car's computer., i would have to wait until it happened again. two-three weeks go by - car driving ok (when going to work i make sure to drive in right lane "just in case" and i no longer can drive on highway with my child in car). then, it happens: while driving at approximately 40 mph the car loses power again. i get off the road. engine light and wrench light are on. car towed to dealer. there is an issue with the throttle body. i am driving a rental. *tr
Car drifted to a stop while in gear. turned off ignition. restated car. it accelerated in park without having foot on gas peddle. tried driving again ,the car repeated this pattern 3 more times. finally got it to operate after letting it rest for several minutes. i was a wreck driving it home, 5 miles. the car was bought used only 4 days prior to the incident. it has ruined my confidence in this vehicle. *tr
My wife was driving approximately 50 mph when gas pedal on 2011 ford escape v6 became unresponsive. got vehicle to shoulder after almost crashing in traffic. red wrench light on dashboard was on. turned vehicle off then restarted and appeared to be ok. drove home approx. 10 miles. took to dealer who checked codes and found nothing wrong. told us the only way to get the code was to have it towed in without a restart because computer does not store wrench light indicator codes. restarting clears the code. local ford dealer was not helpful. investigated this problem and found that was most likely a throttle body problem. there are many owners with the same issue. it is on the short list for a recall. purchased an obd ii sensor and plugged in while driving to get the code. problem happened again with a fault code of p2111 - throttle actuator control system - stuck open. *tr
While driving at speed the escape suddenly loses power. the engine remains running but the vehicle begins to slow and depressing the throttle has no effect. the only indication on the dash is a small wrench shaped light on the lower left side. once the vehicle is stopped, i turn the engine off and restart. from the point the escape runs fine. this problem started two weeks ago. it has occurred six times. 4 occurrences on the highway and speed and 2 occurrences on neighborhood streets while traveling in the 20 - 25 mph range. *tr
Purchased a preowned ford escape in march 2013. had approximately 28,000 miles. drove fine until july 8 2013. about 1/2 mile from home, driving on residential road at approximately 30 mph, the escape stalled and wrench light came on. turned car off and restarted fine. drove for approximately 1/4 mile and stalled again. turned car off again and restarted, then drove approximately 1/4 mile home and parked in garage. checked oil, and level was fine. called local ford dealer and let them know what the problem was. they suggested i drive it in so they can take a look at it. told them i was uncomfortable driving it the 5 miles to the dealer. called ford roadside assistance to have it towed to the dealer. waiting to hear what the dealer has to say. *tr
I have been having this issue for many months where the car would not accelerate right when starting from a stopped position. it would shift very hard & jerk even harder from 1st/2nd & 2nd/3rd. i took it to the ford dealership & they explained it was the transmission so i paid for a transmission flush even though it only had 32k miles. they also at this time resent the computer to my driving habits? the problem continued. took it back to the shop last week twice & they believe that it was the throttle body but all computer checks showed the truck as fine. yesterday while driving 45mph, it all of sudden shifted hard like it went into neutral. i had my foot on the gas pedal & there was no response. i did not lose power steering & was able to coast over to the side of the road. i at this time noticed the wrench light was on in the lower left hand corner of the dash. the service manager at ford told me this would happen & that i needed to get the truck to them with the light on so that they could get the code they needed in order to file the claim with ford & replace the throttle body. i was too far from the dealership to jerk down the road over 5 miles in nothing more than a creeper pace especially during rush hour. when i applied my foot to the gas pedal it was non responsive. i was told by the service manager that if i turned off the truck & restarted it the wrench light would go away & that it does not send an error code to the computer for them to reference. i had to turn it off, but not before taking pictures for my records. i tried to restart the truck & it struggled but finally turned over of which then it drove fine. arrived at the dealership & they confirmed it was the throttle body but that the parts are on an indefinite back order. now we wait. a complete inconvenience & ridiculous that ford will not issue a recall especially when they know this is a problem. *tr
The engine intermittently stalled/quit while driving at speed on numerous occasions. we took it to a ford dealership. diagnostics by their service department identified the problem as a defective throttle body. *tr
Engine power surge under normal driving conditions without increase pedal travel. also engine power hesitates at times. *tr
I was driving on the highway, going about 70mph on cruise control. the cruise control suddenly disengaged and the car started slowing down, plus the wrench maintenance sign in the dashboard lit up. i hit the gas and nothing would happen, i basically put the gas pedal to the floor with no results. i pulled over to the side of the road, avoiding traffic, and parked the car. once the car was in park, the car started vibrating heavily. i shut the car down and waited about 5-10 minutes and then started the car again, it took about 3 tries to get the car to start again. i took the car to the mechanic, they could not get the car repeat the fails at that time, so they could not determine what happened. about a week later, i'm on the highway headed to work and it happens again, same situation, except this time all the lights in the dashboard lit up and i was not using cruise control. i took the car back to the mechanic and he worked on it for a few days, came back and said that the throttle body was malfunctioning and it needed to be replaced. before i did that, i called the ford dealership and explained the situation to the lead mechanic there and without even seeing the car, he agreed with my mechanic that it 100% sounded like a throttle body problem. so it has been replaced and i have had the car back with no problems since then. *tr
On wed july 3, i was backing it out of garage to take a trip to san antonio. i pulled out onto the street to leave when all of a sudden i lost all power. the check engine light came on along with a tool wrench. i looked in the manual and it said throttle problem. i turned it off and started it again and it drove perfect for half a block and lost power again. finally i got it around the block and put it back in the garage where it sits, until i can find out if this is a ford defect. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was restarted after a few minutes and operated as designed. the vehicle was scheduled to be inspected by a dealer. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure and current mileage was 43,600.
Was driving to the airport and car stalled, picture of a wrench display on the dash. next case was about 10 days later, was driving local and car stalled 5 times before i made it. both picture of the wrench and check engine light came on. parked car until morning, stalled twice on the way to work then got it to the dealership to be fixed. was told it was the throttle. *tr
while merging into traffic engine shut down to limp home mode check engine light with p2111 & p2112 codes indicating a throttle body position error. checked all connections at pedal,pcm, and throttle body test drive again same result. cleaned throttle body with sensor safe cleaner with the same result. impossible to drive in traffic continuously going into limp home. extremely dangerous at speed as there is no indication when it may occur close calls with person following in traffic.. *tr
Vehicle went into stall while traveling off of exit ramp. have read that this is being investigated and needs to be recalled! dangerous and felt unsafe with my child in vehicle! if this happened at a high speed on hwy, it could lead to a crash and injury or even death! *tr
Whether i driving in downtown traffic or highway my ford escape would start hesitation. could not get a charge from to drive suv. or my escape would power and the engine would die while driving or when i was pulling out from intersection. i took ford escape to a ford dealership they did whatever test and told me they would have to order part. two weeks of waiting for part to arrive and still no part dealership told me part was on a state order because i was in florida when this happened and i was from illinois with my trip ending and needed to get home. i felt dealership was giving me run around so i called main headquarters in detroit, michigan and was told the throttle body was on back order because ford was having problems figuring out problem and therefore could not send part because they didn't have a corrected throttle body part to send. i asked if ford was doing a recall on escape and was told not at this time. i received a called from ford motor co. about 2 days later telling me the part would be sent to dealership by wednesday of following week and that a call was also placed to dealership to inform them the part was for my escape not the two ford escapes with same problem that were ahead of mine. by the following week on wednesday my ford escape was repaired and i was able to drive home back to illinois. to this day i am not sure if i have a replacement part that has fixed the problem or if ford motor co. sent me the same part that will again break down on me. i have kept track of all phone calls i made date time and who i spoke with and also the calls from ford motor co. to me. needless to say i am very disappointed with the whole matter and i am filing this complaint. *tr
It has happen four times, the first time i was driving at about 25-30mph, the second time i was driving about 60 mph, the third time about 25 mph, each of these times my escape would lose power, the engine was missing really bad, and the gas pedal didn't do anything, you could press it all the way down, nothing happen, thankfully each of these times i was able to get out of traffic to the side of the road, stop, put the car in park, turn the car off, set for a few mins then start and everything was normal, the last time it happen it was pulling out of my driveway, i couldn't go 50 ft without it doing the same thing, lose power, the gas petal didn't do anything, and the engine was missing so bad it almost would die. my car is at the shop now, i am waiting on the cost to have my about 2 year old car fixed so i can drive it again. i have read 23 pages of complains on this site, more than half is the same issue i had with my car. i believe ford needs to do a recall for this throttling issue and fix the problem, and stand behind their product, it seems there are alot of ford vehicles with the same issue that is costing alot of money to have repaired.. thank you. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford escape. the contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph the wrench symbol and engine warning indicators illuminated; then the engine stalled. after several attempts to start the vehicle it began to function normally. the failure recurred within a few moments; however, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. the failure was not diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
Vehicle began to stall at highway speed with no throttle response. coasted vehicle to a stop and turned off the engine. continued down the road as it stalled two more times to the nearest dealer. they scanned and gave us code p2111 tech said that we needed a throttle bottle and it was on a nationwide back order. tech also said there were 3 other vehicles on the lot waiting for the same part. tried to order part and they wanted cash up front, it should be covered under warranty. *tr
I was traveling at approximately 60mph when my ford escape completely stalled and s service light came on. as i tried to move out of traffic i was nearly hit by multiple vehicles coming from both directions. i had the vehicle towed to the ford dealership assuming this would be covered under power train warranty. after explaining to the service department what had happened, before they looked at my vehicle, they knew exactly what it was. apparently, the problem with the throttle body is so common they can't keep the parts in stock. this problem causes the vehicle to stall or surge forward, usually at rates of speed exceeding 40mph. i was informed that ford does not consider this part of the power train. $401.04 later i had my vehicle back. as i was paying the service cashier informed me that this was the 12th that had fixed that week (it was only wednesday) and to hold onto my receipt because it really should be recalled. *tr
While driving on the expressway crg g5 at 45mph the engine stalled, with no more power supplied to the car and it rolled to a full stop. the electronic throttle did not operate to accelerate or drive the car any more. the vehicle had to be towed away. the check-engine light and 'wrench' light are on, the associated dtc code is p2112. *tr
I was driving to work on rt. 80 in nj at about 70 mph in the fast lane when all of a sudden there was no power. i would hit the gas and nothing. fortunately, my steering and braking was not affected and i was able to coast to the shoulder and turn the truck off. before that, i noticed the wrench light was lit on the dashboard. i sat for a minute while i looked in my owner's manual to see what the wrench light was for and it said throttle. i turned it back on and after a brief hesitation, it turned over. i pulsed the gas to make sure it was working, then slowly merged back onto the highway. i called my dealership to tell them what happened and they were very nice and asked me to bring it in asap. since i was almost at work, i said i'd call him back and went to the ford dealership near my office. there i was told this was a "known issue" and even if it was what he "thought" it was, he was nasty and said "there aren't any parts available anyway..." i asked him if the truck was safe to drive and he hesitated and said "yeah...it should be and that it is a "sporadic" issue." i left that dealership and drove to my office. i called my local dealership back and told them this. they said to bring it in the next day (saturday) and they would take care of me. this dealership (magarino in sussex, nj) is amazing! they are helpful, truly care about their customers and made sure that my truck was safe before i left. even though i didn't have an appointment, they still made the time to get me in! they did have the part in stock, ran all the necessary tests, replaced the part and reprogrammed the computer so that everything would be ok. $400 later (part not under warranty), i was heading home. i hope this helps the possible recall investigation so that no one else has to go through the terrifying and hopeless feeling that i had this past friday. *tr
Vehicle continually has a decrease in power. after stepping on gas pedal starts to "chug" along slowly eventually speeds back up and engages to normal speed. *tr
Driving the car we start to excel and the car shuts down due to the throttle body not functioning right. *tr
I was driving 70mph down the interstate and i lost all power and my wrench light came on. i coasted to the side of the road put it in park and it started right up and light went off. today i could feel it losing power i went to dealership and they said they could not help me if i didn't pay the $85 to put on computer. i told them my car had done the exact same thing that others had reported and it was their throttle body. on my way to work i could feel is lugging but so far today it hasn't stopped. very dangerous due to the fact the i have several children in my escape daily. *tr
Vehicle has stalled on me on 5 different times. always during a turn at slow speeds. i have had to put the vehicle in neutral and restart it. the last time it happened, was on june 5th. there was a car behind me and i was able to avoid it hitting me. i reported this to my ford dealership and they checked the vehicle out and could not find any problems. i also notice that at times when i am trying to accelerate that the car will kind of jerk or surge, almost like it's trying to get fuel to the engine. *tr
Vehicle would loose all power while traveling at highway speed. would have to pull over turn engine off and back on to reset. wrench light would come on but would reset after vehicle was turned off. took to shop and needed a new throttle body. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the engine stalled without warning. the vehicle was coasted restarted and resumed normally. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was advised that the engine throttle body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired because the dealer stated that the part was on back order. the failure mileage and current mileages were 66,000. *tr
Driving on interstate at 65-70 mph and engine shuts down. i have to get to the side of the road put in park and restart it. the engine remains running when this happens but only at a idle. and a very rough idol. this happened 4 times last week. very scary when on interstate! when i turn it off and restart it seems fine until it happens next time. *tr
While traveling the interstate, the engine suddenly dropped to approximately 600 rpm and subsequently down shifted to low gear. i found myself in the inside lane, during rush-hour traffic, decelerating from 70mph to 5mph with no place to go. i was lucky, but not popular. the check engine light (wrench) came on and i slowly found my way to the emergency lane. after turning off the engine and restarting, everything was ok. this happened another time with, pretty much, the same story. the ford dealership diagnosed the problem as a bad/stuck throttle body. i've been waiting for them to fix the problem, but they do not have the necessary parts and apparently very little interest. ford corporate says they will help with the cost, but will not return my calls, so i'm left to wonder about that. *tr
I was driving up a hill when my engine shut off and car started lurching forward. the brakes slowed the car down but lurching continued. the car restarted okay but stalled several more times as i was driving it to the dealer. there were no warning lights on and i have always taken great care of the car. there were no odd noises or signs that something was wrong until the car stopped. i am thankful that i was on a neighborhood road and not a busy street or highway. dealer says the issue is the electronic throttle body which is on national backorder and may take 6-8 weeks to repair. if something is on national backorder, does that mean this is happening to others as well? please investigate. *tr
While driving on i40 my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. i coasted to the shoulder and the vehicle began to surge forward and stop while i attempted to put it in park. this happened twice more on this trip, after restarting the engine to rest the issue so i could drive at all. i have taken it to ford three times for service for this. they rest code and tell me ford is aware of the defect in the throttle body but won't fix it for free. i am in fact typing this complaint in the service waiting area. i have experienced surges forward while sitting in traffic and had all power drop out at interstate speeds. it's insane ford hasn't recalled this part and repaired it. i hope me or my family don't have to be injured or killed for them to take care of this faulty part. *tr
I was driving home from work at about 35 mph when the car lost power. it stayed running and i turned on my flashers and coasted to the first turn. i turned off the main rd and parked, shut off the car, then started it back up and it worked fine the rest of the way home. a few days later it did it again so i called the local ford garage, on a saturday morning. the service man on duty told me " this time of year there are fuzzies from the trees flying around, the get stuck in your air filter and when you turn the car off and start it again the fuzzies get sucked in the engine and the car is fine. he said he knows this has happened and what i described happened to my car sounds like this. he said if it happens again to call back". i said "are you kidding me?". it happened again so i called back, got an answering machine and left a message. no one called me back, and the car stopped doing this. two weeks later it lost power twice in one day, once on the interstate which was scary, then twice more on my 3 mile drive to work in the morning. i had my son look at the air filter, he said it looked fine and nothing should get through it and to take it to the garage. i took it to the ford garage, they said it needs an electronic throttle body and will cost $420, that is the estimate. the car has been at the ford garage for 6 days now. they don't have the part because it is on backorder. they did give me a loaner car at no cost, which i appreciate. *tr
While driving the vehicle it started jolting and sounding as if the vehicle was dying or out of gas(i had a 3/4 tank). i shuttered to a stop and died while i was on the highway. i went to start it again and it rolled over for 20 sec and then stared. i put it in drive and it immediately bogged down and died. al my check engine lights came on and i called my husband to come help me. when he got there he was able to start it up and get it off the road and into a parking lot before it shuttered and did again. had it towed and this morning they call me and tell me it is the electronic throttle body. they said it is not covered under warranty and is on back order for weeks. i did some research and found out hundreds of people are having this problem too. this needs to be a recalled as it is dangerous problem. *tr
While entering the highway and getting up to speed, the vehicle started to lose power. this is the third time it has happened in a 2 week period, the latest being the date identified above. *tr
I was exiting off i-295 when the engine started to run rough and then i had no control of the gas pedal. when i pushed on it the engine did nothing but idle very roughly. the engine wrench light came on. i coasted to a stop and put it in park. the car continued to run roughly. *tr
Vehicle was accelerated to cross an intersection and engine decelled to an idle condition - this happened at speed also - very dangerous loss of power without notice - almost caused an accident. was very intermittent to begin with - dealer attempted tshoot and repair but no codes found - next day after dealer attempt problem happened numerous times and the dealer determined a bad throttle body. *tr
