My car has stopped numerous time in the middle of a busy expressway and has almost resulted in a accident. I had two small children in my vehicle at the time, my car continues to stop many times and I attempted to get the problem solved but I cannot since there is a severe back order on Mercury Milan throttle body. Therefore I am forced to drive in unsafe conditions because of a mass problem that is obviously going on with Ford/Mercury vehicles.

I was driving along on the highway and I felt my car stall a little, then my speed started slowing down automatically. The wrench symbol came on the dashboard so I pulled over and the car shut off. I was able to start the car and I started driving again but my car wouldn't let me go over 40 miles an hour so I pulled over again. I was only 5 miles from home so I was able to drive my car home. We took it to a Ford dealership and they ran tests on it and I was told the throttle body needed replaced. They said it was covered under my warranty however they didn't know when they could get the part for me because it was out of stock. I did my own research and found that there is a possible recall on the throttle body for my type of car. Waiting to get my car fixed.

When driving, the car feels like it shifts gears, the wrench light comes on and engine power is lost. After pulling over, turning off the engine and restarting, the car drives normally. This happened multiple times in one day. Dealer reprogrammed PCM and it was fine for two months. Same thing happened on June 21, 2012. This is potentially life threatening problem because it has happened at highway speeds in rush hour conditions. Many consumer reports of same symptoms can be easily found on internet by searching for "electronic throttle control." When I took car to dealer after most recent occurrence, they said their were no codes showing so there was nothing to fix. Ford needs to investigate why this is happening and recall/fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured because of this problem!
