My throttle body is sticking every morning. i have been stuck in traffic on i-5 in tacoma and had to use all my strength to depress the throttle which lurched my daughter and i into oncoming traffic and nearly caused a fatal accident. it has caused my children to be late for school, myself late for work and alot of stress and fuel. i have to keep the throttle depressed while stopping and have to use my right foot for the break. i drive an automatic. the dealership knows that the 2008 ford escapes are having this problem and are doing nothing to help resolve the issues. when i call to ask about the issue i get treated very poorly. i am one of thousands of people having this problem and ford needs to address it. *tr
Gas pedal intermittently would not go down, sometimes in heavy traffic. finally the pedal stuck so much that i took it in for repair and they replaced the throttle. this is very dangerous to not be able to accelerate when in heavy highway traffic. i noticed that other escape owners have documented the same problem. *tr
