| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway going about 70mph when my car jolted. Then from there it decelerated very fast. I pushed on the gas and nothing it felt like it was in neutral with nothing happening. I quickly was able to get into the breakdown lane but due to being in the high speed lane i almost got hit by 2 cars. As i pulled over it felt like the car was about to stall. I shut the car off and waited. I turned it back on and it drove fine. About 2 months ago i had stopped at a stop sign and when i went to drive my car again felt like it was in neutral no matter how much i pressed on the gas it did not go anywhere... Even though it was in the drive gear. I shut it off and turned it on and it was fine. My car feels like it hesitates and bucks sometimes when i am driving also. This seems extremely dangerous seeing as i was almost in an accident yesterday on the highway. I was told i needed to see if my vin was part of the campaign recall to get this fixed. I will say if i find out its not part of the recall even though its listed in it then i will never by a ford or mercury every again because it shows they could care less about how dangerous something is and its fords fault no fault of mine! |
