| Description of the problem | On thursday, august 11, 2011 our 2008 mercury mariner hybrid shutdown while traveling 67-70mph on i-39 in the passing lane next to a semi. Had to cut across the interstate onto loose gravel, creating a dangerous situation for multiple drivers. Had just had this 'fixed' by dealership two weeks before. I was told by the dealership at that time that it needed a chip upgrade, which was done. Unfortunately, this was not the needed 'fix' obviously. I was able to restart it like i had before, but could not drive above 60-62 mph in order to keep vehicle running. Just took it into dealership again today, and they had not heard of this problem on any other hybrids. |
