Metal straps holding up the gas tank rusted and broke on july 28, 2011 while filling the gas tank. Had to have it towed to dealership where they replaced the two metal straps on august 1, 2011. On august 2, 2011 a recall was issued for the same problem on similar ford vehicles that were manufactured during the same year. Dealership confirmed it was the same problem that was cited in the recall and stated that i was…

The gas pedal of my 2005 ford escape some times gets stack to the point where i can't accelerate no matter how much weight i put on it. It normally happens after it has been idle for many hours and goes away after driving for about 30 minutes. It was like that since i bought it two years ago and has been getting worst lately. I took it to local ford dealer and they test drove and said there is nothing wrong with it.…

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

The accelerator keeps getting stuck on my 2005 ford escape. I start it off, back up, put it in drive, press on the accelerator, and the accelerator won't move. I have to press on the accelerator really hard and then the truck takes off really fast and i have to fight with the wheel to gain control. My sister was also driving it on a cold day and all of a sudden the accelerator got stuck, the truck would no longer…
