2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2022

The throttle control transmission has failed me several times when I’m on the road. Thankfully it’s only left me stranded on the side of the freeway once but has made me stop during oncoming traffic several times. The wrench light comes on when the vehicle decelerates and I’m unable to accelerate. Once the steering wheel even locked. This happens at random times but because the code is pending mechanics can’t seem to find the issue. This has happened dozens of time where it just stops suddenly while driving. I am concerned for the safety of me and my family when driving this vehicle. Please get this issue resolved!.

7 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2010

We own a 2006 Mercury Montego and we have an acceleration problem that seems to be happening more and more. After starting the vehicle with the brake applied and I shift in reverse, the engine will rev up and try to force the car to move so I apply mt brakes even harder. This only lasts a few seconds. Then I shift into "drive" and with the brake still applied, it may do it again and try to take off when in fact I was not yet ready to press on my accelerator and it just wants to accelerate on it's own. .
