NHTSA Complaint #10557104 — 2010 MERCURY MILAN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS WELL. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A LOT AS IT SLOWED DOWN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WAS ABLE TO START BACK UP AGAIN. THE VERY NEXT MORNING WHILE TRAVELING A 50MPH ON A DIFFERENT HIGHWAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR AS I HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS STOPPING. AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TRAVELING AT 25MPH IT STALLED AGAIN. THE RESULT OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS THERE WAS A CODE STORED IN SYSTEM OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS GIVING A CODE FOR BEING STUCK OPEN WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. IT WAS A FAILED COMPONENT. AFTER FURTHER INTERNET RESEARCH THERE IS AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION ACTION NUMBER PE13003 (HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE13003&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&SUMMARY=TRUE) FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE TO BE ADDED TO THE INVESTIGATION AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME BODILY HARM OR DEATH. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND THE PART RECALLED. *TR
