Escape 6-cyl

  • 54,206 miles
As I was pulling into my driveway my car had a sudden unintended acceleration. The engine was racing so I put my foot on the break which had no effect so I put the car into park. The engine continued to run at full speed so I turned the car off. I then called a tow truck to take the car to be repaired. This is the second time this happened and Ford will not do anything about this ongoing issue. In July 2018 I had the throttle body replaced with a Ford factory part. Here it is two years and 11 thousand miles later and it just happened again. Ford, shame on you.
