Description of the problem	I have owned the mercury montery for six years and have had nothing but problems. The biggest problem is a torque converter that has been replaced. Fortunately, i was traveling from north florida in 2009 when the van suddenly just stopped accelerating... I had to coast to the side of the interstate... With two other women in the car beside myself. The van had to be towed and a torque converted replaced. The second incident... Same thing different location. I was reimbursed for the torque converter last year de to a recall... However, now it has a major problem of not accelerating.... After sometimes 30 mph and 70 mph.... I have to let off the gas and hit it again.... This is continuous ... Very frustrating... Very costly... And very dangerous issue.. That is my most important point... Very dangerous... It just stops without notice! I would like to know what can be done to fix this problem without me absorbing the cost... As it is very obvious ... This is a faulty, dangerous vehicle! Please .... Please contact me to inform me of what can be done. I have less than a year of payments on this vehicle... And at this point don't feel safe driving long distance or anywhere else in the van.
