| 2010 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR FELT AS IF HAD JUMPED OUT OF GEAR, THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW RAPIDLY, A FOLLOWING VEHICLE HAD TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. THE CAR JERKING AND HESITATING WAS ABLE TO BE GRADUALLY MOVED TO A LOCATION WHERE I COULD EXIT THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THE ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED IN MY DASH CONSOLE. AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED, THE PROBLEM HAD CORRECTED ITSELF. THE PRIOR DAY, WHILE BRAKING BEHIND A CAR, FOOT ON BRAKE, NEITHER FOOT NEAR OR ON THROTTLE, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD WITH THE THROTTLE OVERPOWERING THE BRAKE FOR A SECOND OR TWO CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE MORE AGGRESSIVELY. I DID NOT THINK ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH, BUT AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE THIS MORNING I WONDER IF THE TWO EVENTS ARE RELATED. I CALLED THE DEALER, WHILE HE WOULD NOT CONFIRM THE FACT, IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THIS ISSUE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ISSUE. I SUPPOSE THE MOST TELLING POINT IS THAT IF THE PART MOST LIKELY TO BE A PROBLEM, IS INDEED BAD, AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO JUST A CLEANING, THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE PART IS ON BACKORDER. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THE DEALER WOULD NOT COMMENT. THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR |
| 2006 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | THE KEY TO MY MERCURY MILAN WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS, AND ONE DAY I WAS SIMPLY UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT AFTER PARKING. I CALLED MY HUSBAND, AND UPON HIS SUGGESTION I TRIED TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF (GENTLY), SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK, AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, ETC., BUT TO NO SUCCESS. AS THE LOCKING MECHANISM (FOB) IS ACTUALLY ON THE KEY, I HAD NO WAY OF LOCKING THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ON A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OPEN YET, BUT I WILL TAKE IT IN ON MONDAY. UNTIL THEN, I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT CANNOT BE LOCKED WITHOUT AN EXTRA KEY, AND IF SOMEONE BREAKS INTO MY VEHICLE THEY NEED ONLY TO TURN THE KEY AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS IS ENORMOUSLY UNNERVING TO ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR |
