Car Stall problems of the 2009 Mercury Mariner

While traveling approximately 35 mph, driving in a straight line on a city street in traffic, the abs abruptly applied the brakes - hard! the abs light came on and a "check brake system" warning message was displayed. Also, the electrical system shut down and the engine lost power. After about 5 seconds, power was restored and vehicle was able to proceed. This occurred approximately 8 times over a two mile distance. During the last 4 times, the engine died, lost power completely, and needed to be turned off and restarted to continue. This failure was a dangerous safety hazard. Vehicle was towed to albuquerque Lincoln Volvo. The problem was diagnosed as a failed abs module, 9l8z. The dealer replaced the abs module with a faultly module. A second abs module was installed and the vehicle was deemed repaired. The dealer did not return the defective part for analysis.

Mercury Mariner (2009) v6 4wd. Has stalled twice. 1. While driving at 35 mph. It stalled and was able to restart once the vehicle stopped on the side of the road. We took it to a Ford dealer and the throttle body was replaced. 2. Stalled when slowing to a stop. This was after the throttle body was replaced on 10/13/2017. Only driven about 500 miles. Both times vehicle was going down a country road.

My truck stalls. I purchased a new battery, and it continues to stall while driving or idling.

My 2009 Mercury Mariner stalls while its idle, at a intersection or just waiting. It stalls then I started up right after it stalls.

While driving down the road anywhere from 20-55 mph, the car seems to stall out and the accelerator no longer works. You have to pull over and shut the vehicle off and it will start again. Sometimes the same problem will occur again within seconds, minutes, or days later.

When pulling up to a stop sign the car just stopped next time coming off interstate to stop the vehicle kinda of lunged the next tine it just tried to stall had to put in neutral and keep foot on gas to keep it running.

The first sign of a problem with my 2009 Mercury Mariner (39,000 miles) was three days ago when it stalled at a stop light. Today was a bit more dramatic. At 70 mph in heavy traffic the vehicle rpm suddenly dropped down to 900 and the accelerator was none responsive. Fortunately, I was able to coast across several lanes onto the shoulder of the road. As I slowed to a stop the vehicle began surging and bucking. I noticed the wrench light was on. Then I turned off the vehicle. It restarted fine a few minutes later and ran normally (no warning lights) over to the Ford dealership. After listening to my story, the Ford service man told me that he was nearly certain the throttle body needed replacement. He went on to say that he was quite familiar with the issue since for years he's been dealing with - on average - three of these cases per week. That's one service man at one dealership. Do the math! I asked if there was a recall or if Ford would give me a break on the repair. He said "no", but agreed that the throttle body should not fail after only 39,000 miles. He also said it would be a waste of time filing a complaint to Ford customer service. So, I took the vehicle to my local mechanic to have it checked out. They found no error codes registered and for their test drive it ran fine. I don't know what to do next. By the way, there was an earlier recall for our vehicle. In September 2010, they reprogrammed the powertrain control module and replaced the plm, whatever that means.

Vehicle will stall when at a red light to long or if you speed up to pass a vehicle then I have to wait 15 minutes or longer to move again then only I few feet at a time and it cuts off again.

About four weeks ago I had noticed that the gas pedal of my car was acting strangely; occasionally, as I was trying to accelerate from a stopped position it wouldn't work, or "catch," right away, and I would have to push down increasingly hard until it moved. I had an appointment at my local dealership when I was driving home one Friday, stopped at a stop light to turn left, and it stalled. I brought it in the following Monday morning and after a couple hours the service advisor and techinician told me I needed a new throttle body. They tested it and said they could see it "sticking. " however, and this is where my complaint comes in, they told me a new part wouldn't come in right away as it was on backorder and there were 48,000 orders besides mine! it has since been 3 weeks since that visit with no new part and no expected date, and the serivce advisor told me today when I called that there were close to 750,000 orders for this throttle body because it's the same part used in many different vehicle make and models. Regardless, my car is progressively getting worse. When I push the gas pedal I more frequently get no action and at times it now also accelerates unnaturally fast, almost jumps, then quickly returns to normal. Yesterday the pedal required so much force before the car moved that I thought it had stalled on me again, only this time while I was driving it. The dealership has told me that they have no idea when the part could come in and cannot give me a loaner car for an unlimited amount of time, so until then I am driving around in unreliable vehicle, never quite sure how it's going to act. It infuriates me that there are so many of these parts on back order, and yet a recall was never issued. Had there been a recall when the other thousands of people had issues I would not have to sit around waiting, while feeling like I'm putting my own life in danger.

Car stalls and/or ottherwise looses motive power at all speeds (start-up, low speeds, as well as, mid and high speeds) causing dangerous situattions on the highways. The part (electronic throtle body) needed for this repair was originally back-ordered 7-8-2013 with expected delivery date of of 8-7-2013. Now the expected fullfilment date is 9-23-2013. This is an incredibly longtime to wait to have a car fixed. Can anything be done to expedite this unrealistic time line. How many of these failures do they have? is a recall warranted?.

While driving, my SUV completely stalled and stopped running. I turned the vehicle off and restarted it and it then it went. This happened continuously. I called the dealer where I purchased the car, benson Lincoln Mercury, in pittsburgh, and the service advisor told me that he didn't know what it could be making it stop running. My husband works in the automotive industry and it happened when he was driving the car and the "check engine" light came on. He put it on the computer and received the code, p-2111 "throttle actuator system stuck open. " it seems that many other people are having this issue too. In April, the dealership put a computer "update" in my car. Could this have an impact. I should not have to pay for a part for my car, when this is obviously a defect of which the manufacturer is aware.

Car stalls continuously.

The vehicle stalls randomly. I may be driving slowly or idling and the car stalls. This has happened at yield signs, red lights and going down hill. This is very dangerous. One time at a right signal arrow it stalled going up a slight incline and I almost got hit from the back. It is easily started again by putting the car in neutral and turning the key. I brought it to the dealer because the car wouldn't start and had to be jumped. They replace the battery and blamed the battery on the problem. It is still happening and I am bringing it again.

Within the first months of owning the vehicle, it staled randomly. I could be driving or idling and the car stalls. Ifi put in neutral or park, it was easily re-started. I have had the dealer look at it several times the problem still exists. Nothing showed on the computer. On many occasions starting in 2010, the vehicle hesitates when shifting. When I would accelerate after coasting; w aiting for a light to turn green, trying to leave a stop light or sign, or after making a turn, there was a lull where the vehicle was unresponsive. It then kind of lurches into gear. The dealer told me that¿s the way the 6 speed automatics worked and I should always come to a complete stop. This past weekend 2-3-13 was the icing on the cake. I took the car down to the shore to have a leisurely weekend b4 surgery. I started the car and the engine light came on. I followed what it said in the manual and the light did not blink 8 times. I performed the mixed city and highway driving followed by 8 hours or being parked, the light came on the next morning the first thing that happened was that the rpms went very high and it lurched into gear. The car stalled twice while I was doing about 35 mph. I threw it in neutral and it started right up. Driving home , the engine light was not on but no dash lights, radio etc after about 5 minutes and noticed they came on. This happened twice. I had the heat on floor and front vents at 74 & at 1 point it felt like a/c was on. I filed complaints with (NHTSA) with no response. I see many of the same complaints I have on NHTSA that are unresolved. I have stage 3 cancer I have been battling for 9 yrs this situation is making me feel like the car is more dangerous than the cancer I am fighting. I'm putting myself at risk by driving it.
