Takata recall, with driving my 2009 ford escape, i realized whenever i am proceeding to press on the gas at a stop sign or at a traffic light, the acceleration takes time to pick up speed, and when trying to pick up the minimum speed locally it feels like i have to press hard for the truck to accelerate more. And when i'm merging on the highway it is very scary because when pressing down on the gas it stalls, alot…

Apple valley ford has done their best to work with me. However, fords's extended warranty on the throttle senser is extremely dangerous. It requires an extremely long wait for approved diagnostics, which is known to clear out of memory when the car is turned off. Usually ending in a no. I have been in near death situations because of it over ten times. Today alone, the wrench and fix engine soon lights were on. I…

Earlier this month, i had to decelerate from 40 mph to a fairly abrupt stop and my car was unable to. I just had my brake pads replaced so…
