    I was driving on the highway on 8/22 going to work going approximately 65 mph when the car engine just died. The radio and lights still worked but the engine just stopped.

Coming off a stop or low speeds, the gas pedal would not respond until after i had pumped it and pressed it nearly to the floor, then my escape would take off, squealing tires and all.
