Used Ford Escape for Sale in Indianapolis, IN

When I purchased this used car, it had 70k miles on it. It is fun to drive, all-wheel drive, and the perfect size. It's considered a compact-size SUV, but it actually feels like a midsize. I'm able to fit a normal size couch in it when the back row of seats is put down--they lay down so that whole area behind the front seats is completely flat. The car has been mostly reliable--one problem that my mechanic says is common and happened to me is the tire pressure sensor keeps getting disconnected. It's only $100 to fix, though. When that happens, a warning light comes on. All it really does is watch the amount of air in each tire.

I purchased my vehicle brand new in July of 2011. It was my first brand new vehicle. I loved it until the next month when I was on the interstate in traffic. It was August so I of course had the air conditioning on. After sitting in traffic for about 5 minutes I noticed that every time I pushed on the gas pedal the transmission would jerk. It did this for the next 20 minutes I was in traffic. I took the car in for service and was told that nothing was wrong with it. After driving the car for another year with the same problem it got worse. I was on the interstate going 65 and the car engine revved up on it's own and came to a sudden stop on it's own, and I was almost rear-ended. I pulled over on the shoulder and turned the car off and waited a few minutes and turned it back on. I continued to work with no other problems. I immediately called the dealership and they told me to bring it in. They said the electronic throttle body was bad. After having it replaced I've noticed that the car will still do the same thing when I'm sitting in traffic and I've been told there isn't anything wrong with it.
