Consumer Description

PURCHASED MY 2006 MERCURY MONTEGO IN 2007. CAR HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO IDLE TOO FAST. CAR WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD, SEEMINGLY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY, SAFETY OF OTHERS OR OF DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING VEHICLES/PROPERTY. MECHANICS I HAVE CONTACTED HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT THE CAR ALWAYS RETURNS TO THE SAME ISSUE AFTER A DAY OR SO. MECHANICS ARE BAFFLED OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. *TR
