NHTSA Complaint #10221239 — 2003 MERCURY SABLE

I WAS HEADING TO CHURCH. I TURNED ON TO ANOTHER ROAD WHEN MY CAR STOPPED GOING. IT SOUNDED FINE BUT WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR ABOUT 3 TO 4 YRS, AND HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ECKENROD FORD IN CULLMAN, AL. WITH A LOT OF PERSISTENCE AND A BULLDOG ATTITUDE, THEY ARE CURRENTLY FIXING MY CAR. BUT, IT IS COSTING ME MONEY I DON'T HAVE SINCE I JUST HAD A BABY. WHO ,BY THE WAY, WAS WITH ME WHEN THE CAR FAILED TO DRIVE PROPERLY (ON A COLD SNOWY SAT. MORNING). THEY KNOW THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T TAKE CARE OF IT ALL TOGETHER. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY LIKE THE LAST CAR I HAD WHEN IT DID THE SAME THING. GUESS WHAT, IT WAS A 2000 FORD TAURUS WITH THE SAME SERVICE BULLETIN AS THIS CAR AND HAD TO BE FIXED BUT I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT. INSTEAD THEY MANAGED TO GET ME IN THE CAR I CURRENTLY HAVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO FIX THEIR CARS AND QUIET GIVING THE CONSUMER A HARD TIME ABOUT IT. HOW MANY HAVE TO TEAR UP BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT????????? *TR
