 Description of the problemFor the past 3 years i have been dealing with my 2008 mercury mariner hybrid shutting down in the middle of traffic and giving me the pull over immediately warning. I have had to replace the hybrid cooling system door actuator and the electric water pump (mec unit), all within the past year and half. On june 11, 2014 the vehicle shut down again and gave my wife the pull over warning. I took it to the ford dealership this morning and they said that the throttle body now needs to be replaced and they gave me the error code p1a0c. The funny thing is, this is the same error code they gave me when they said the electric water pump (mec unit) had to be replaced. I checked this unit the other day when the car died and it was functioning properly. There is a major issue with the ford hybrid products and ford refuses to fix them. They sold lemons to thousands of hybrid owners who have made complaints and ford just brushes us off. They just keep telling owners to suck it up and pay to replace different parts. Please make ford take care of these vehicles before somone gets killed because they do shut down without warning, has happened to me numerous of times in heavy high speed traffic and it is not a good feeling. *js
