Description of the problem	I own a 2005 mercury montego that has been a constant downward spiral. Approx. 3 months ago, i had to replace the vehicles transmission,because i was told by ford that they do not sell the tools or parts to replace anything in it, the whole transmission had to be replaced. Approx. 1 week ago, i was sitting at a traffic light and my car revved up to approx. 3500 rpm and pushed my car forward into traffic. I then traveled about a mile down the road and the car started bucking and engine fail safe mode was activated on the dash, along with a small wrench symbol on the message board. I then checked the owners manual where it said it was for the throttle control, and transmission. I immediately called the shop where the transmission was put in, and was told to bring the car there immediately. While on my way to the shop the same day, numerous times i would push the accelerator and the car would do nothing, it would not go at all and then would accelerate after approx. 5 seconds. I eventually made it to the shop where the car was placed on a computer that said there were no codes coming up for the warning that came on. After already spending $4,000 on a transmission, again i spent another $200 to change all of the spark plugs and clean out the throttle control box, which has done absolutely nothing for the problems with the vehicle. In january 2010, i called my dealer to set an appointment to have my transmission fluid changed as a maintenance call, and was told that ford does not recommend that you change your fluid until 150,000 miles, is that normal? Why are all of these transmission going bad, and why are these vehicles accelerating by themselves? Nobody seems to have answers for any of these questions. Why are these not being recalled like toyotas were? Are you guys waiting for people to die because of this, will that get your attention? This is obviously a computer issue within the car,same system that is in toyota's. Do something about it, before someone's hurt!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
