NHTSA Complaint #10521853 — 2010 MERCURY MILAN

DRIVING MY 2010 MILAN AT A SPEED OF 50MPH, I FELT A SUDDEN SHAKE AND LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER SLOWING DOWN ONE WAY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE ENGINE & WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, I QUICKLY TURNED OFF MY IGNITION. I WAITED 10 MINS AND THE CAR STARTED, MADE IT ALMOST TO MY HOUSE UNTIL IT GAVE OUT ON ME AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR 7 MO AGO (USED), AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN. I HAD PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AFTER 2 DAYS OF PURCHASE THAT THE CAR WAS VIBRATING, WHICH THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS OK. IM SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THIS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. I WILL BE BRINGING MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED. NOT SURE WHAT HE WILL SAY OR FIND, BUT I WILL UPDATE THIS INFO. I HOPE THE MANUFACTURER WILL READ THIS INFO AND SEE THAT THERE IS OBVIOUS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS, NOW SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR NOW... *TR
