NHTSA Complaint #10537040 — 2009 MERCURY MARINER

I WAS ON A HIGH TRAFFIC FREEWAY COMING HOME FROM A MATERNITY APPOINTMENT (I WAS 7MONTHS PREGNANT AND IT WAS HOT) AND GOING 70MPH MIDDLE LANE. WHEN MY CAR JUST CUT OFF. I WAS STILL MOVING BUT MY DASH WAS OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE. I COULD GET IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT WENT OFF AGAIN. I FINALLY GOT OFF ON A RAMP. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND RENT A CAR. BETWEEN THE TOW RENTAL AND WORK ON MY CAR THE TOTAL WAS (EST 1400). THEN A YEAR LATER IT BEGAN EVERY NOW AND THEN STALLING OR SURGING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN. NOW IT HAS BEEN WHEN I STOP OR LET OFF THE GAS IT GOES DEAD. RECENTLY WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY HOOKED IT TO THE COMPUTER. IT SAID IT WAS MY THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS CLEANED AND ALL WAS FINE FOR A WEEK. AND NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I FINALLY DID GOOGLE THROTTLE BODY AND MERCURY MARINER.I FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS. *TR
