| Description of the problem | Driving 2011 mercury milan 65mph on interstate (in construction zone) vehicle jolted hard and with loss of acceleration. There was not enough acceleration to get to a safe spot and traffic was heavy so i came to a slow jerking stop with semis honking, passing by and ten cars screeching to a stop behind vehicle. Wrench light and motor light came on in message center. I had to come to a stop in the middle of traffic to put into park and then restart my car. When i restarted it and drove a few feet the rpm? S flew to 5,500 and the car jerked for miles until i could get out of construction zone and pull over to a somewhat safe spot. My mercury milan only has 48,000 miles. This scary occurrence has happened 3 times now, once on another highway and another on a residential road. Even after getting the throttle body diagnosed and replaced this is still an issue. I am taking it to the ford dealership for the fourth time with hopes that they can fix the problem. I am scared to even drive the car. It is not safe and i will be very displeased with ford if there is not a recall considering how dangerous this manufactured product is. Thank you for your cooperation and i hope no one gets hurt because of this issue that so many people seem to be having as well. |
