What owners wrote
Our 2009 ford hybrid escape caught fire in our driveway. The fire department came and it took two firemen to put it out. The entire front was destroyed. Even the dash board was melted as a result of the fire. It appeared to be an electrical trigger, but there is no certainiy as to what cause this fire, which had flames nearly 10 feet high. My son was sitting in the car taliking on the phone. He came running in sayng there was smoke in the car and when I looked out the window it had already started to catch fire.
Vehicle intermittently enters "limp mode" showing DTC p2112:00-64 code: p2112 - throttle actuator control system - stuck closed. Instances have occurred at highway speeds, at below 40 MPH and starting from a stop. Status
