Throttle Control Warning Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Escape

While driving my tool light came on and car lost power. Pulled over to side of the road and turned off car. Restarted car and light was off then car drove fine. Took my car into bickford fford and was told they can't do anything because the light wasn't on so they can't get a code. How am I suppose to get get the extended warranty on throttle body issues if the light goes away when the car is turned off? I can't drive the car when this happens so how am I suppose to get this covered by Ford? I'm suppose to drive my car with unsafe conditions until it permanently breaks down? seems like a scam.

Driving normally, throttle control powertrain warning light comes on, check engine light comes on, car gas pedal does not work, engine idles and does not accelerate. When you shut the car all the way off and wait then restart the engine the car works as normal again.

I was driving at approximately 25 mph, and suddenly the car began to sputter. The gas pedal was non responsive and the car was surging forward. I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off. About 5 mins later I turned it back on and the engine and throttle lights came on. After a few seconds the throttle light went off, but the engine light stayed on. I then tried to drive the car home, but after about two blocks the same thing happened again. This happened several more times until I could get the car to a safe place and out of the road. The car is still in the parking lot where I left it and I am currently trying to find out my towing and repair options.

I was driving home with my five year old son when I noticed my vehicle seem to be running rough. First, I noticed a rough idle when I stopped at a stop light. Then, while turning accross on coming traffic the vehicle looses all power with no throttle response and the engine light illuminated. At this point I was still in the way of on coming traffic and could not accelerate to finish the turn. Thank god I did idle to safety. I then stopped on the side of the road and put the vehicle in park and observed a very rough idle and no throttle response at all. I shut off the vehicle and restarted it after thirty seconds and it ran normal again with the engine light off. I immediately took the vehicle to a parts store to have the the ecm scanned for trouble codes. The tech could not recover or read any codes at that time. I found that troubling at the time but found out later that not all scan tools can access stored codes. I had this occur twice the next day while driving to work. I then called my local Ford dealer to schedule service and when I told him the symptoms he immediately knew the problem. I ordered a new throttle body assembly per their instruction and asked if there are any recalls or TSB's on this issue if it's that common. The dealer checked and found a TSB on this problem but no recalls. I personally feel this is definately a safety concern and should treated as that before someone does get hurt or worse, killed in an accident. I called Ford customer service the next day to file a complaint and find out why they aren't being proactive with this serious issue. I was told that they have no known safety recalls or TSB's at this time. I was also told that this problem was not something they had encountered very often. Since then, I have researched this and found that it is very known and being investigated at this time. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the throttle control and engine lights. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic for diagnosis where it was stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

Leaving home check engine light and throttle lights came on and the vehicle was jerking and would allow me to give it any gas.
