| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Within 2 hours of buying a new 2004 ford escape and at 180 miles the throttle stuck on the highway accelerating me to nearly 90 mph before i could shift it into neutral, get it off the side of the road, and turn off the engine. had there been any cars next to me on the highway i would have been involved in a horrible accident. the car is at the dealer to be fixed, but i read on the ford motor co. web page there is a recall for accelerator problems. how/why can a dealer sell a car with a known defect? i very easily could have been seriously injured or killed. |
