    O/d light came on suddenly. Was driving at 40mph. I could feel it dropping out of gear, being slow to accelerate and it would rev periodically. I called ford corporate, they took down the complaint but other than that; nothing. We did a simple google search 'ford escape 2007 o/d light' and immediately saw at least sixty comments that all detailed the exact same problem (which is catastrophic failure. The rep from…

    2007 ford escape gas pedal sticks when temperature is below 40 degrees or so. Pedal requires extra force to engage, then vehicle will leap forward from the extra gas. Safety is compromised by this. Accelerator sticks every time the pedal is pressed when temperature is cold. *ln

    Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford escape. When the vehicle was cold, the fuel does not circulate properly and caused a delay in the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that water was reaching the throttle body and could cause problems with the vehicle speed control. The delay could also cause the throttle to stick, the vehicle to loose power or to hesitate when the accelerator pedal was engaged. The contact is…

    My vehicle is a 2007 ford escape xlt. For the past several months when i try to gas up the vehicle i can only put in a small amount of gasoline. It appears that the gas filler pipe cover (a little flap that is mounted on the inside of the filler pipe) is gone. Because it is mounted from the inside, the only place it could have gone is into the filler pipe which causes a blockage so that gas backs up and spills out.…

    Throttle sticks,usually when cold but it has stuck when warm. The gas pedal won't depress without pushing it hard to overcome being stuck. This has caused me a few scares when pulling out into traffic and it wont move as it should. This has happened many time including this morning. *tr

    There has been multiple instances where the gas peddle cannot be depressed. No matter the amount of pressure applied. It has occurred both at a standstill and while in motion. I have read its a possible throttle body problem not sure. First occurrence was during cold weather however it has occurred during warm temps ie 85degree outside temperature. It happens and then there is no problems for a long time maybe…

    The suv is a 2007 ford escape, purchased in december of 2006. Didn't have any problems until jan. 2009. The accelerator pedal sticks in cold weather. Every day after having started the car. Even though the engine has warmed up. You can start down the road and then suddenly the accelerator sticks, will not depress. Sometimes it might depress and you think its ok and then it does it again. You can be in traffic and…

    Have 2007 ford escape. The gas pedal sticks in cold weather (40 degrees and lower). The pedal is fine upon startup and for a few miles, but then with no warning, it sticks to the point it can not be pressed. I weigh 250 lbs and i can not put enough pressure on it press it down. No accidents so far, because i live in a rural area, but it is still very dangerous. I've had to wave other drivers around me until being…
