We were traveling in the car at approximately 80 mph. the car engine began to race strongly without a corresponding increase in speed. this happened twice and then a red oil indicator light came on. it sounded also like a head gasket blew on the 1.6 liter eco-boost engine as there was a rattling noise like tumbling pebbles in a can or drum. we lost power. blue smoke streamed out the tail pipe of the car. we coasted over to the shoulder of the highway and came to a stop. by the time the car came to a stop smoke was coming from under the hood of the car. i got out of the car and looked toward the engine compartment from the passenger side. flames were coming from below the car just inside the front passenger side tire. we quickly got everyone and everything out of the car. the flames spread very quickly. the front half of the car was engulfed in flames in approximately 4 minutes and the whole car was consumed in about 8 or 9 minutes.

Electric throttle body failure and limp mode causes unsafe break downs: while driving on the highway at about 70 mph the highway my car very rapidly decelerated and several service lights turned on. i was able to pull off of the highway and ran a vehicle health report. the report indicated a failure to the restraint system (defined as airbags or seatbelt). this means that if the sudden deceleration without brake lights had caused a collision the airbags may have also malfunctioned. in addition to the safety system malfunction a powertrain malfunction, and tc, ivd, rsc event of fault was reported. i took the car to a dealership and they diagnosed the problem as a electric throttle body malfunction. they said it was a very common problem. it doesn't seem safe to have a car rapidly decelerate itself when a part fails especially if that causes the computer to reports a safety system malfunction as well.

A couple months after buying the car, it started stalling after driving it home from work.took to dealer put on the computer, nothing showed up as being wrong? they told me to put seafoam gas treatment in didn't work. the stalling kept happening after driving a long distance. after many times to the dealer (1time they kept it 2 weeks) they still couldn't find the problem? dealer decided to replace the throttle body and motor asy the only thing that controls the idle. it still continued to stall on and off after a long ride. then in feb. 2016 it stalled on i-75 several times this time not even 10 miles from work. we were going slow due to icy roads having to put in neutral just to keep from stalling. back to dealer, nothing showed up on computer. my wife then called dealer concerned that it could stall while driving 70mph on the highway the dealer decided to replace the throttle body and motor asy again. stumped on how to fix the problem got the car back saturday. went to work on monday after work stopped to get gas shut off restarted car and it stalled?? there seems to be no specific reason or condition that it keeps stalling. it stalls while in gear or park? this is a serious issue and could cause bodily harm. do i have a lemon?
The added remote start works. however, when you open any door to get in the escape...the engine shuts off. i would think that this would increase the wear and tear on the engine, starter, and the ignition due to the fact that your having to restart the vehicle again.
