There is a problem with my tourqe converter with 100k miles. My car won't accelerate.
2008 Mercury Milan. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair passenger frontal airbag inflator recall notice. The consumer stated the engine light illuminated shortly after the vehicle was purchased.
The contact owns a 2008 Mercury Milan. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shook, jerked, and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000.
Upon putting vehicle in reverse the throttle increased on its own reaching nearly 6k rpms, by quickly placing the shift lever in neutral and applying the brake I was able to avoid a collision. Restarted the car engine light was on as well as the maintenance light, after checking for codes 2110 was present, cylinder 3 had misfired. Drove the car home it was fine. Drove the car for a week with 2 more of the same incidents (increased acceleration with out pushing the pedal) while driving. On 10/14/13 while at a stop light the car increased the throttle on its own to 6k rpms and upon release of the brake my tires broke loose and began to squeal again I was able to control the car by shifting in to neutral and the rpms settled at 600, I shifted back into drive and it has been fine for 2 days. After little research it seems like this is a common issue (google search) the electronic throttle body is malfunctioning at random mileage ranges and without warning in both the Mercury Milan and Ford fusion. I am highly concerned that a replacement part would not even fix the vehicle. Its not safe to drive and people need to be warned, might be like Toyota incident.
No matter if cold or hot, going forward or backward, engine surges. Better have foot on brake hard to keep from surging uncontrollable. Hold on for dear life.
After replacing my car battery, the service light for the throttle body transmission came on. When I went to drive off there was no engine power.
