WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 MERCURY MILAN ON 65MPH HIGHWAY ENGINE STARTED SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS REVING UP. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY. A SMALL WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE A WRENCH CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF I RESTARTED VEHICLE AND MADE IT HOME WITH LIGHT OFF. NOW EACH TIME I START TO DRIVE ANYWHERE WRENCH LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND ENGINE SEEMS TO REV UP AND UNABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. VEHICLE IS ALSO IDLING FAST. I'VE NOTED PER ONINE CONVERSATION THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES. UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS RECURRING ISSUE AS I'VE OWNED CAR LESS THAN 30DAYS.
