| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 ford mercury montego that the throttle has a mind of its own-it often fluctuates and i feel that ford should recall this defect immediately before serious accidents occurs. It is an on-going issue and happens daily. There is no warning when the throttle fluctuates-it is something i must be cognizant about at all times. I have been to the ford dealer to see if there has been a recall and if others have made complaints about this as well.. This has been going on for several months now and the last incident was yesterday! |
