Ford Recalling 486,000 More Escapes

In what is getting to be a familiar story, Ford is recalling Escapes.

Ten days ago a recall was announced for the 2013 model, and then seven days ago more were recalled, for a different problem.

This time it's 486,000 vehicles from 2001-2004 that have the 3 liter V 6 engine.

Investigators looking into the death of an Arizona teen, discovered that the vehicles' speed controls cables can become stuck on an engine cover, when the gas pedal is nearly fully pushed down.

When the cable gets stuck there's no way to slow the car down, as it over rules the brake pedal.
