My 2011 Escape had the
My 2011 Escape had the throttle body replaced under extended warranty (3rd party)..It costs me $125 (deduction + cost of first system check not covered by the ex warranty...it would be covered by the Ford extended warranty if you have one). They wanted to also do a "software" scan and check for another $100+ but I told them do the change and lets see what happens....so far, ok...mileage is back to normal...ignition noise is up on the AM radio while accelerating (it was not noticeable before the work)..but is acceptable....I WISH Ford or NTSHA would issue a recall and pay back all owners who have had it done already...its ridiculous this issue has been going on since the 2006 model and nothing has been issued yet...when it happened to me, I did research using Google and found this site as well as other forums that told me what needed to be done...I had a similar issue with my Chevy 1999 S10 Blazer and its Throttle Position Sensor but I was able to change that myself for less than $50...I am glad I did NOT have to pay more out of pocket than I did but I still watch the acceleration to make sure nothing bad happens....
Be safe all!!
