WE WERE NORTHWEST BOUND ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE JUST BEFORE RT 11 SOUTH OF YOUNGSTOWN. TRAVELLING 70 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DECELERATED. THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5 OR 10 MPH. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED UNTIL THE MOTOR WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT WAS GONE. AAA ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE NEXT AVAILABLE TURNAROUND AND RETURN HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 70 MILES AWAY. AFTER WE TURNED AROUND, THE AAA TECHNICIAN FOLLOWED US TO THE NEXT SERVICE PLAZA. WHILE THERE HE CHECKED THE VEHICLE'S FLUIDS AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE'S DIAGNOSTIC CHECK INDICATED THAT ALL OF THE MONITORED SYSTEMS WERE ALRIGHT. WE DROVE THE 70 MILES HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I SUSPECT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONNECTIVITY AS REFERENCED IN FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AND CHANGING GEARS. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,500.

THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, WE HAD TO PUSH IT BACK DOWN.

WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE OR WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE TEENS OR SINGLE DIGITS BRAKES WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR THE FIRST TIME YOU STEP ON THEM BUT WILL WORK IF YOU PUMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER LAST WINTER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT NOW WITH A SNOW STORM AND VERY LOW TEMPERATURES THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND THEN BACK HOME FROM WORK I CROSS OVER A COUPLE OF RAILROAD TRACKS. GOING OVER THEM RATHER ROUGH ONE TIME, I NOTICED MY ABS SYSTEM LIGHT ENGAGED AND CAME ON. EVERYTHING APPEARS OKAY, ABS LIGHT GOES BACK OFF SO WE CONTINUE DRIVING. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY SOFT AND OFTEN HAVE TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO ENGAGE ANY REAL ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WE FOUND THAT PUMPING THE BRAKES SEEMS TO HELP THEIR SOFTNESS, BUT IT IS NOT A FIX FOR THE SITUATION AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL STILL RETURN TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE NEXT NEED FOR BRAKING ARISES. THEN WE WILL HAVE PERIODS OF DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES. BUT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL RE-OCCUR WITH SOME MILD ROAD ABNORMALITIES. SINCE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT WAS CONSTANT AT THE TIME, WE LEARNED A WAY TO GET AROUND IT BY PUMPING THE BRAKES TO PUT AIR BACK IN THE MECHANISM. BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. MY HUSBAND WAS HIT ON OUR FRONT FENDER BY A GENTLEMAN DRIVING THE WRONG WAY AND THE SMALL 'TAP' FROM THE ACCIDENT SEEMED TO HAVE RETRIGGERED THE SOFT BRAKING ISSUE SO THE MECHANICS LOOKED INTO IT SINCE WE DESCRIBED OUR PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS COMING HOME FROM TAKING A FRIEND TO GET HER NAILS DONE. AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALSO TO THE FLOOR AND I WENT BEYOND THE STOPPING POINT OF THE INTERSECTION, BUT DID NOT ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. IT WAS STILL THAT WAY THE NEXT DAY AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 MORE TIMES SINCE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING WITH ANY VEHICLE. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO OVER 55 WITH RPM'S AT 3000. ALL THE WHILE HAVING THE WRENCH IDIOT LIGHT ON. HOPING THERE IS RECALL BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE OR EVEN FOR IT TO BE FIXED. *TR
