“While driving approximately 35 MPH, I took my foot off the accelerator and the vehicle accelerated until it was then going approximately 50 MPH. I pushed down on the brake pedal to slow down several times, but the car did not slow down it continued to drive at that same speed. The vehicle then struck a stop sign and came to a stop.”
NHTSA complaint #10492964, filed 2013-01, 155,508 miles“I was traveling on a two lane highway going about 60 MPH with my two granddaughters in the car with me, when all of a sudden I lost power and the car began to decelerate. The wrench light came on. I pulled over to the side of the road and after calling my mechanic I turned the car off. I waited for about 5 minutes and restarted the vehicle. The wrench light went off and I was once again able to drive the vehicle. This is very dangerous if it should happen on a major freeway in rush hour traffic. Some internet research indicates that this has been a major problem with the Mercury and others. …”
NHTSA complaint #10806797, filed 2015-11, 121,000 miles“Prior to the incident described the car was acting perfectly fine and had never died or been difficult to start. On the morning of sept 23rd I got in the car I started it and it died immediately. I started the car again and drove for approximately 1 block and it died again. I restarted it and it drove a couple more blocks and when I stopped at a stop sign it died again. After this the car would start but would shut off as soon as I put the car in gear. Every time the car died the check charging system light would come on. The car was towed to the local ford dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10546725, filed 2013-10, 108,816 miles“Electronic throttle body (etb) malfunction. Car revs but fails to catch. Check engine and wrench lights came on. Once car started moving pedometer did not work. Warranty on this part for 2009-2014 models has been extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles. The warranty should cover all model years as this is a potential problem before on vehicles manufactured before 2009.”
