NHTSA Complaint #10735819 — 2010 MERCURY MILAN

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND DROPPED TO AROUND 1000 RPM NO MATTER IF I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR OR NOT. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY LANE FOR ME TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO. IT COSTED FOR ABOUT 3/4 OF A MILE UNTIL I COULD PULL BEHIND SOME ORANGE BARRIERS. AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND CALLING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY WHILE GOING 65 ON THE INTERSTATE IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I WAS PREPARED FOR A PROBLEM AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EMERGENCY LANE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT RESTARTED FINE AND DROVE FINE AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT 20MPH ON A CITY STREET. THE DEALER HAS HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE.
