| 2009 | ENGINE | WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN METRO DC RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER (ENGINE STILL RUNNING BUT NO ACCELERATION). I HAD TO CROSS OVER 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO REACH THE SHOULDER (VERY DANGEROUS). I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED (SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS "FLOODED"). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION TODAY, BUT CAME ACROSS MANY COMMON COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND ALSO LEARNED THAT NHTSA WAS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION. I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY CASE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS RAPIDLY. |
| 2006 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES | FORD MERCURY MARINER: AT 65 MPH I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. PROCEEDED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND FOUND THE GAS PEDAL CABLE TO THE THROTTLE LINKAGE FELL OFF. COASTING THROUGH 65 MPH TRAFFIC WITH NO GAS CONTROL WAS CHALLENGING. WHY DID THE GAS PEDAL CABLE FALL OFF AND HAS OTHER VEHICLES OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM? *JB |
