NHTSA Complaint #10544835 — 2008 MERCURY MILAN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 27 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY MILAN LOST ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT KEEP CURRENT SPEED. I DRIFTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. THE AC/RADIO/WINDOWS STILL WORKED BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO START IT BACK. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND HAD NO OTHER ISSUES UNTIL ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BAD GASOLINE SO I DID PURCHASE A FUEL CLEANER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ANOTHER 2 DAYS LATER WHERE IT WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND JUST DRIFT TO A STOP. SAME ISSUE OF HAVING TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP AGAIN. THE CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY PARKED AT MY PARENTS HOUSE SINCE I CAN NOT TRUST WHEN THE CAR WILL WORK OR NOT WORK. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND CANNOT BE REAR ENDED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING.
