2009 Mercury Mariner Engine Problems

“My 2009 Mercury Mariner (has 56,000 miles), without any warning, it just shut off while I was driving it. Has happened twice. Was able to get the side of the road and was able to restart it. No warning lights came on at all. Car is at dealership now to have it checked out.”

“After coming to a stop at a light or stop sign, as I accelerate my car jumps/jerks as if it's straining to switch to next gear. Generally happens when accelerating between 10-40 miles. When it initially started it would happen 1-2 times a week. Now it happens every day. I have an appointment schedule to have dealer look at vehicle.”

“While I was driving on hwy doing 75mph my Mercury Mariner 2009 it suddenly loss power and (while engine was running) I could not accelerate. Tool light came on. I could not do anything to regain speed (accelerator was disable) and the only fix was to shut down the engine and re-start. Vehicle will start and work normally I took to the mechanics the next day he said that no codes came up.”

“While driving the auto just stopped and the check engine light came on and stayed on. I turned the auto off and restarted. It did this three times before I arrived back home. Took it to have a diagnostic test on the engine and code p2111 - throttle actuator stock open was the results. This is the second time this happened. The first time was 2 or 3 months ago but the check engine light did not come one.”

“I was driving at 45mph when all of a sudden, the car stop running. I had to pull over and cut the car off. I started the car again and it went about one mile before it cut off again. Then a wrench symbol came on the left side dash board. I drove the car home and it cut off on me three times before I could get it home. I look in my car book to see what the wrench symbol means and it says that it is the throttle control/powertrain.”
