NHTSA Complaint #10565643 — 2008 MERCURY MILAN

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO THE STREET, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED, PUTTING THE CAR INTO A "SAFE MODE" WITH EXTREMELY LIMITED POWER. WAS ABLE TO USE REVERSE TO MOVE CAR BACK INTO PARKING LOT. I KNOW THAT THIS EXACT ISSUE (LOSS OF POWER DUE TO ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE) HAS CAUSED A RECALL FOR SOME FORD AND MERCURY MODELS, INCLUDING THE MILAN, BUT IT DOES NOT YET INCLUDE MY CAR'S MODEL YEAR. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. *TR
