SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING IF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY A SLICK ROAD SURFACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUBSEQUENTLY GOES TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT APPLICATIONS. WE NORMALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO GET THE PEDAL BACK TO NORMAL. THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY DURING ALL OTHER NORMAL USE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY INFORMING ME OF SEATBELT ISSUE AFFECTING MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO LOCAL LINCOLN//MERCURY/FORD DEALER, PARTS NOT YET AVAILABLE SIX MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, I AM RELUCTANT TO USE THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS AN OLDER VEHICLE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN REGION, WHEN MIGHT I EXPECT THE PART(S) TO BE AVAILABLE?

POWER TRAIN
WELL WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS ON THE HIGHWAY, WE WENT TO PASS A CAR THAT WAS SLOW. WE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE (BECAUSE EVERYONE IF FLYING THROUGH THERE). BUT, AS THAT HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SENT THE RPMS TO A REALLY SCARY AREA WHERE WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. LUCKILY, THEY CAME BACK DOWN BUT AS WE WOULD DRIVE UNTIL IT STOPPED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE FIGURED OUT IF WHEN THAT HAPPENED IF WE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR A WHILE THEN. SO, TO ME IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE WE WENT TO AN AS-E CERTIFIED SHOP AND HAD THE COMPUTERS FLASHED THEN REPROGRAMMED AND IT STILL DOES IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON , CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND LOST POWER AND SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVE DOWN THE SHOULDER TO A REST STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE I'M THINKING IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS IN MOTION OR IT WILL SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS INCIDENT ALSO OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGH SPEEDS, SUCH AS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEED VARIES AS IT HAS ALSO OCCURED IN TOWN DRIVING. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON.

ENGINE
HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. STARTER WAS BURNED OUT, PART WAS REPLACED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CODES READ THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE VERY SUBTLE ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE, BUT THIS IS THE 2ND THROTTLE BODY CODE TO POP UP IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. I ASSUME THAT IT WILL SOON BE A PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FUSIONS/MILANS. THE ONLY THING MORE COMMON IS THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING. FUNNY THING IS THAT I GOT A RECALL FOR THE FLOOR MAT THAT DOES NOT EVEN CAUSE PROBLEMS. PART SHOULD BE COVERED. GOING TO TRY CLEANING IT, HOPING FOR THE BEST.
