| Description of the problem | Driving on the interstate at about 70 mph, the engine lost power and would not accelerate. The wrench light came on. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, although there were a couple close calls since it was rush hour. The engine stuttered some but did not die, even though i could not accelerate or go faster than 3mph or so. I turned the car off, waited about 20 seconds, then turned it back on. When turning it back on, it took longer than usual to turn over, but started, and the wrench light did not come back on. I continued my drive home like normal and there were no problems. I went out the same evening on a 15 minute drive, and the same incident happened twice. Once when stopped at a stoplight, once going 30mph. After i made it to my destination, and tried going home about 1. 5 hours later, on the same 15 minute drive, i had no problems. I'm told its throttle body issue, which is very common in 2010 mercury milans. It is very dangerous to lose power, especially when it seems to happen at random times. I hope there is a recall soon so i can get my money back on repairs since this is obviously a defect. |
