The check engine light came on and the yellow wrench. The car would not start for…

I was driving on the parkway and suddenly started losing speed, like there was no gas getting in, and the wrench light went on. I was lucky enough to be able to pull over and turn the car off. It started up again and i was able to get back home and apprehensively drove it to the dealer 2 days later. It took them 2 days to figure it out but they said it was the throttle body and it was back ordered. They gave me no…

I was driving under normal driving conditions on the expressway when the car suddenly jerked and i no longer could accelerate and the service engine light on the dashboard began flashing. Fortunately, i was able to get on to the shoulder and call a tow truck. It was due to a faulty throttle body.

My 2010 ford escape is going into limp mode while driving. It just stops responding to the accelerator and limps along until i can pull off the road and turn the car off. In the beginning, i could start the car back up and drive home. But it is beginning to happen more often and now i cannot drive it at all. *tr

The first time the suv completely lost acceleration at 45mph. It was extremely dangerous. I was on a bridge & the emergency lane was so narrow that traffic was within inches of me. I sat for a while and then restarted the vehicle. I feel fortunate to have made it off the bridge without being in an accident. I made an appointment with my dealership, but before my appointment date i had to make an extended trip…

I had not had my vehicle for 3 months before experiencing a problem. On several occasions, i was driving and my suv lost power. Each time, i had to pull off to the side, wait a few minutes, cut the csuv off and then back on until the car would start again. This made my travel very dangerous on the highway. Took my suv to the dealership and at first they could not find what was wrong with it because the error had not…

It was taken to dealership for repair and i was told they have zero throttle bodies for this car for 4 to 6 months maybe longer. And in researching this there are alot of people with the same problem i'm having and they don't seem to care about resolving the issue. Just keep making your payments on the car and rent you another so you can get back and forth to work to pay for it. Even tho i have warranty coverage…

Three time within 5 miles the vehicle stopped accelerating and giving it more gas did nothing. I would have to coast to the side of the road and hope no one hit me in traffic. I took the car to a mechanic and he said the throttle body was faulty. *tr
