Hope I can get some assistance with this issue. I bought an '09 Escape in September. Since new as it is warming up there is movement in the accelerator pedal. Additionally, it frequently loses power if I go to accelerate from a stop....it literally will do nothing. I brought it in to the dealer. They confirmed another customer with the same complaint. They don't have a solution for it. Service claims Engineering is working on the problem. It will be interesting to see what Ford has to say if this results in an accident. Any suggestions on what it might be? Thanks for your help!

Replying to: pats1 (Oct 05, 2009 7:32 pm) So basically I'm making this up and they can't fix it. But they won't take it back either AND they won't give me anything in writing assuming any liability. Even the dealership acknowledge this problem and was willing to take the vehicle back and get me something new. I had put $6,000 down on the lease. Dealer was going to reimburse me $2,000 and put in a request to Ford for the other $4,000 to put down on another Ford vehicle. It seems the sunny days of sales is ok, but they won't take responsibility for the product after they take your money. They keep reiterating that they cannot duplicate the problem. I am in the car all day as a Realtor. I tried to explain to them it is intermittent. So they're telling me if they cannot duplicate it then it doesn't exist! All it's going to take is one accident and "it" will hit the fan. I've already had one near miss. I will be filing in small claims court within a week. Feel free to contact me direct at my email address. Regards John
