I was traveling west on I-10 from tallahassee, FL intending to go to pensacola, FL. I was driving the 70 mph posted speed limit. As I neared exit 192 @ quincy, FL I heard a noise from under the hood that sounded like a clunk. The car's engine dropped below 1000 rpm and gradually slowed down. I pulled off to the emergency lane. The Escape was towed to havana Ford in havana, FL on sat. , Nov. 2, 2013. The service dept. Opened Monday and I was informed that the throttle body broke. I had the throttle body and gasket replaced.
