NHTSA Complaint #10547431 — 2009 MERCURY MARINER

MY MERCURY MARINER 2009 HAS HAD ISSUES FOR THE PAST YEAR IN REGARDS TO THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" AT REDUCED POWER, LIKE WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ALSO, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON WHILE DRIVING AND I LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THE ENGINE IS STILL ON BUT NO ACCELERATION POWER. I WILL COAST UNTIL I CAN GET TO A SAFE SPOT TO HAVE TO POWER IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BACK AND FORTH TO WORK EACH DAY. THE CAR LAGS WHEN ACCELERATING AND ALSO PUMPS WHILE WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT. I CAN'T EVEN MAKE A TRIP TO THE STORE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE WRENCH COMING ON OR IT GOING INTO LIMP MODE. *TR
