Vehicle is repeatedly surging without warning or stalling without warning. often during turns in heavy traffic. dealer is unable to replicate but suspects throttle body malfunction. *tr
I was driving my escape about 15 mph and went to accelerate. when i pushed the gas pedal down, the total car did nothing. i just hesitated and stumbled then finally accelerated. it has done this since new, but thought it was just the drive by wire system they use now. this makes me nervous if in a sudden avoidance situation and can't avoid it. *tr
This morning i saw the cnn news ticker stating you are investigating the ford f150's for eco-boost acceleration engine stalls. i have a 2012 ford escape and this very same thing has occurred to me 3 times. i can't remember the dates, but it has been within the last year, because i bought this vehicle july 2012. i took the car to local dealership, explained my concern & was told "it was a defective computer software problem, software replaced." i haven't had anymore more episodes of "stalling with acceleration" but it's very evident something is not right during acceleration. the vehicle seems to decelerate or sometimes "jerk" with acceleration. i'm concerned now that you are only investigating the f-150's & should broaden the scope of your investigation to include the escapes or any vehicle with eco-boost. *tr
