I took my 2010 ford escape 4 cylinder automatic transmission 2wd vehicle in due to the federal safety agency recall notice for the transmission. Even before I got the recall notice I noticed that 1 time out of 10 when I engaged my car from park to drive that the car would shake violently ( like, someone just hit my car with their car ). In addition, often, I would notice that the vehicle would not switch gears in a clean and proper fashion. So, when I got the recall notice, I thought this will be fixed. After getting the car back from the ford dealership and them saying nothing was wrong with the vehicle and the my car was not effected by the recall, I still had these same issues all the while. Well, on may 8, I was driving home and the "wrench" light (powertrain fault indicated/detected ! ) came on the display/instrument panel. In addition, I noticed that the transmission was also not running that well. I took it into the dealership and dropped it off right away that night. It has been 5 days and the work is still not done. My service advisor tells me that it is the valve body that needs to be replaced. He said perhaps on wednesday it will be done.
I was driving on the interstate at about 80 MPH and suddenly my car jerked, and lost all control of acceleration. My car went from 80-15 in just a matter of seconds. No matter how hard I pressed the gas, I could not accelerate. Thankfully I was in the fast lane and was able to coast to the shoulder. The check engine light was on. I turned my car off and a few minutes later I was able to drive it again. Very scary. My car is at the shop now and as of yesterday they haven't found a problem. I have researched it and told them it sounds like the throttle body is bad. There have been numerous of complaints. This is extremely dangerous and ford should have a recall immediately. It's a shame I'm terrified of driving my two year old around in my two year old car.

No accelerator response in the middle of a lefthand turn with oncoming traffic. No engine revs then engine roared and I was able to complete my turn. Dealer saw no engine codes,no notes,a 1.5 mile test drive showed nothing,no notes with VIN and ford stated no known issues. It didn't happen then?
