Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION! STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE TURNING LANE WATCHING A SEMI AND 20 CARS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER. LUCKILY SHE THOUGHT QUICK ENOUGH TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, SINCE SHE WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL, SHE ROLLED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE ESCAPES (SISTER TO THE TRIBUTE) FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. MAZDA HAS ONLY ISSUED A SPECIAL BULLETIN THAT THE TRIBUTE CAN LOOSE ACCELERATION, BUT DID NOT SAY HOW TO FIX IT. I FOUND ALL THIS INFORMATION AFTER THAT FACT THAT MY DAUGHTER ALMOST DIED!!! WE HAD THE VEHICLE AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP THE FRIDAY & SATURDAY BEFORE. THEY APPARENTLY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ALL THEY DID WAS CLEAN OUT THE THROTTLE BODY, AND SAID THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. WHY DID MAZDA NOT HAVE TO DO THE SAME AS FORD? WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES! CONSUMERS WITH THESE AUTOS NEED TO BE NOTIFIED!!! FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED ANYONE EITHER, WE ALSO HAVE A 2011 FORD ESCAPE WHICH HAS NOT HAD THE ISSUE, BUT WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY JUST TO CHECK IT. *TR
FUEL FILL NECK DIAGNOSTIC CODE PO457 OCCURRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH SEEMED TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPUTTER, AND TO HAVE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. UPON INSPECTION THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PART. UPON A GOOGLE SEARCH OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THEY RECALLED THIS SAME VEHICLE WITH THE 3.0 ENGINE (MINE HAS THE 2.5).
