NHTSA Complaint #10520378 — 2010 MERCURY MARINER

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE ONLY INDICATOR WAS THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME THE GAS PEDAL STOPPING FUNCTIONING. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY TO A SHOULDER WITH NO WAY TO ACCELERATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED COSTING $500.00. *TR
