NHTSA Complaint #10537849 — 2010 MERCURY MILAN

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE TO WORK AND WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH AS I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND IT IS GOING THERE TONIGHT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 MERCURY MILANS. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY LAST WEEK ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR. AS I DO MORE RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IF THAT'S THE CASE, WHY ISN'T THIS BEING RECALLED? I AM JUST THANKFUL I WASN'T ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THAT I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.
