VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY AVENUE AT ABOUT 5:45PM AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY PUTT-PUTTING DOWN THE ROAD AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING, I WAS ALMOST IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A PARKING SPACE ABOUT A 1/4 OF A MILE AND SHUT OFF MY CAR VEHICLE. I CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND TOLD THEM TO EXPECT ME. I HAD PLANS OF HAVING THE CAR TOWED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF HAVING MY VEHICLE OFF, I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY. MY REPAIR SHOP TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE NEXT DAY AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY ALSO DIDN'T FIND ANY CODES APPEARING IN THE VEHICLES MEMORY. THEY DID FIND AN ARTICLE ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THE SAME TYPE VEHICLES. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND WERE GOING TO CHECK IF THERE WERE ANY BULLETINS. I AM WAITING A PHONE CALL BACK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY MERCURY MARINER 2009 HAS HAD ISSUES FOR THE PAST YEAR IN REGARDS TO THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" AT REDUCED POWER, LIKE WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ALSO, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON WHILE DRIVING AND I LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THE ENGINE IS STILL ON BUT NO ACCELERATION POWER. I WILL COAST UNTIL I CAN GET TO A SAFE SPOT TO HAVE TO POWER IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BACK AND FORTH TO WORK EACH DAY. THE CAR LAGS WHEN ACCELERATING AND ALSO PUMPS WHILE WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT. I CAN'T EVEN MAKE A TRIP TO THE STORE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE WRENCH COMING ON OR IT GOING INTO LIMP MODE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE OPEN HWY @ 75MPH, I SUDDENLY GOT "PULL OVER SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE ON THE INFO CENTER OF THE DASH AND A RED TRIANGLE ALERT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED A MOMENT. I THEN STARTED THE CAR, ALL SEEMED FINE (NO MESSAGE) AND PROCEEDED. A SHORT TIME LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE HWY AND REPEATED THE STEPS ABOVE. THE CAR WAS RIDING WELL AND SMOOTHLY WITH NO APPARENT PROBLEMS. BUT, THE LONGER I DROVE, THE MORE FREQUENTLY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE DASH BOARD WARNING WOULD REAPPEAR. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

ENGINE
CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" TWICE WITHIN A 3 MILE SPAN WHILE DOING APPROX 50MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD. BOTH TIMES, STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE ALLOWED NORMAL OPERATION. 5 DAYS PRIOR, THE CAR ALSO STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE OTHER WHILE PRESSING THE GAS JUST BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP (TRAFFIC SIGNAL WENT FROM RED TO GREEN). THIS IS HAPPENING LESS THAN 10 DAYS AFTER I HAD VCT SOLENOIDS REPLACED THAT WERE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME IN MY 2009 MERCURY MARINER AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WAS ACTING AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. THERE WAS NOWHERE IMMEDIATELY TO PULL OFF AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD. FINALLY AFTER 5 MINUTES OF PRAYING AND TRYING TO KEEP GOING (VERY SLOWLY) I MADE IT TO PULL OVER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I AM READING ONLINE WHERE THIS HAPPENS OFTEN TO THESE MAKES AND MODEL. ITS A THROTTLE MODULE ISSUE. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN TOMORROW, BUT I HONESTLY AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED THAT I MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR A ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN THIS CAR. I BOUGHT THE FORD BECAUSE IT WAS AMERICAN MADE AND I FELT IT WOULD BE DEPENDABLE. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED. I USUALLY TRY TO STICK WITH THE BRANDS I FIND TO BE THE BEST AND WHEN PURCHASING IN THE FUTURE, I AM UNSURE I CAN TRUST FORD IF THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH VEHICLES BUT NOTHING DONE ABOUT THEM FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. IT LIKE BUY AND GOOD LUCK. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY (I-77 N) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO JERK. THE WRENCH TOOL LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO LOOSE SPEED. THE CHANGE IN POWER AND SPEED WAS QUICK AND I HAD TO QUICKLY CHECK THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC AND PULL THE CAR OVER TO AVOID AND ACCIDENT. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I CUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE FILTER. I PURCHASED A FILTER FROM FORD AND MY CAR RAN SMOOTHLY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. I WOULD PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. EACH TIME THE WRENCH TOOL WOULD APPEAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I HAVE LOST SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. AFTER MY CAR STARTED TO CUT OFF AGAIN FOLLOWING THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW FILTER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO PURCHASE THROTTLE BODY SPRAY. THEY CLEANED OUT THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME TIMES I WOULD HAVE TO CUT MY CAR OFF A FEW TIMES AND RESTART IT ON ONE ROUND TRIP. I KEEP REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR, CHANGING THE OIL AND ROTATING THE TIRES, ETC. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2012 BECAUSE THE CAR I HAD OVER $2,500 OF NEEDED MAINTENANCE. I NEEDED A RELIABLE CAR TO GET AROUND AS THE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY EXPLAINED THE CODE AND EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEM: TROUBLE CODE P2111, THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN AND CLOSED. I REALLY HOPE THIS INVESTIGATION IS EXPEDITED AND THAT FORD RECALLS THE MERCURY MARINER 2010 DUE TO THE FAULTY THROTTLE BOTTLE. I HAVE HAD ZERO MAINTENANCE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS ON A MAJOR EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTING DECREASING SPEED. I WENT FROM 55 MPH TO 45 TO 35 TO 25 TO 15 TO 5 AND THE STOPPED. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND WHEN THIS STARTED, I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHICH WAS CLOSE TO AN EXIT. I SOMEHOW GOT THE SUV HOME, STARTING THE ENGINE, IT DYING OUT AND GOING A COUPLE OF FEET OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR AUTO SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT FORD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE AND GAVE US A NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS COUNCIL ARTICLE. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE DIGITAL EQUIPMENT TO FIX AND REFERRED US TO FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD DEALERSHIP ADVISED IT WAS THE THROTTLE. I TALKED TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.I WE SPENT $362.56 ON THROTTLE AND TWO LETTERS LATER FORD WILL DO NOTHING SINCE THEY SAY WE DO NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WE ARE BEYOND THREE YEARS/36,000 MILES. I WAS AFRAID WHEN THE CAR DIED OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2013, AFTER ABOUT A 30 MINUTE COMMUTE TO MY PLACE OF WORK, I PULLED INTO MY WORK DRIVEWAY, AND MY 2011 MERCURY MARINER STALLED. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO CUT OFF, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT. UNSURE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE (AS IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE), I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM, AS HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REPLACED A NUMBER OF THESE ON BOTH THE FORD ESCAPES AND MERCURY MARINERS. ON MY LUNCH BREAK, I DROVE OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE IT WITH NO STALLING OUT PROBLEMS. THE MANAGER THEN TOLD ME HE WOULD DRIVE ME BACK TO WORK IN THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT WOULD "ACT UP." IT DID NOT "ACT UP" WHILE HE DROVE ME BACK TO MY PLACE OF WORK, BUT ON HIS WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT STALLED OUT ON HIM WHILE HE WAS ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN. HE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO LET IT RESET. HE SAID AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. HE GOT IT INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER GENERATED CODE P2111, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. HE LUCKILY HAD ONE IN STOCK AND IT WAS PROMPTLY REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE STALLING OUT ISSUES WITH MY MARINER AND THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE HAD DEADLY CONSEQUENCES HAD IT STALLED OUT AT THE WRONG PLACE AND WRONG TIME, PARTICULARLY IN AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SITUATION. AS THE SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED TO ME, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS FACING A POTENTIAL RECALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWED DOWN AND WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT NOT GETTING FUEL. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS OK. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN AND I CALLED A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WANTED TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED.THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD A COUPLE MORE ISSUES BUT I DID NOT DRIVE IT MUCH DURING COLDER WEATHER. IN JUNE OF 2013 I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH THE SAME ISSUE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IT CONTINUED OCCASIONALLY BUT IN AUGUST OF 2013 IT STARTED MORE OFTEN. ONE INCIDENT WAS IN AN INTERSECTION THAT WAS VERY BUSY AND I CALLED THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT IN AGAIN AND THEY THEN FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, AT THIS TIME IT NOW CAST ME OVER $500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING TO WORK ON 1431, THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT HIT A BUMP, LOST ALL ABILITY TO DRIVE. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 SECONDS AND THEN BACK ON. AT THIS POINT IT SEEM TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THEN ABOUT THREE MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS TIME THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON, SO TRAFFIC WAS TIED UP. WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH THIS TIME. DID THE SAME THING, TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND SEEMED TO WORK NORMAL. LATER THAT EVENING GOING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I REACHED HOME. ONE TIME AS I WAS GOING FROM PALMER TO 1431 ON A CURVE. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE GOING HOME. THE ICON ON DASHBOARD WAS A WRENCH WHICH INDICATES IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT, AND CHARGED $650 TO REPAIR. BELIEVE THAT THIS IS/WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM SAFETY WISE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY FORD. *JS

STEERING
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2009 MERCURY MARINER AT A SPEED OF 25 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL BASICALLY LOCKED UP. NO WARNING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! IF SHE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HWY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE THREE GRANDDAUGHTERS WHO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE JANUARY 2012. IT ONLY HAS 63300 MILES. I TAKE IT IN TO THE FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE CHECK UPS AND OIL CHANGES. I DO TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE REPAIR COULD BE OVER 5K. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED WITH SO MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS?

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION 6 TIMES NOW, WHILE STOPPED 3 TIMES. STALLED ONCE WHILE DRIVING UPWARDS OF 40 MPH. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, PUT EMERGENCY BLINKERS ON, AND RESTART THE CAR. VEHICLE SEEMS TO SPONTANEOUSLY FALTER IN ACCELERATION AND LOSES POWER. TURNING OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTING ENGINE FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL THEN REOCCUR AT AN UNKNOWN TIME. SOME INCIDENCES HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME DAY, OTHERS HAVE BEEN UP TO A WEEK APART. *JB
