MY 2010 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS HAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, IT LEFT ME TERRIFIED AND STRANDED ON I-95 SOUTH IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 70 MPH 3 LANE INTERSTATE. THE ENGINE ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO DEAD IDLE, GAS PEDAL WAS INOPERATIVE, I STILL HAD STEERING AND BRAKES BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER WITH CARS AND BIG TRUCKS SCRAMBLING TO GET AROUND ME, THANK GOD IT WAS DAYLIGHT. WHILE WE HAD DECELERATED TO ABOUT 30 MPH MY WIFE STUCK HER HAND OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAVING FRANTICALLY AND SOME EXTREMELY SMART TRUCK DRIVER REALIZED WE WERE IN TROUBLE AND LET US OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE IN FRONT OF HIM AN THEN ONTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING IT FINALLY WENT BACK TO OPERATING PROPERLY, WHEN WE GOT HOME I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED,(THE PART ALONE IS 546 DOLLARS, NOT INCLUDING LABOR) MY CAR IS LIKE BRAND NEW WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ON LONG TRIPS. WE ARE RETIRED PEOPLE ON A SSI INCOME AND FEEL LIKE FORD SHOULD ASSIST US IN GETTING THIS REPAIRED BEING THAT WE ARE STILL ALIVE TO TALK ABOUT. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF US AS OWNERS OF THIS CAR, WE BOUGHT IT FROM A LINCOLN MERCURY DEALER AS A PROGRAMMED CAR BUT FORD ONLY KNOWS OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER SO IF THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON IT WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE TO HAPPEN OR LAWSUITS FILED BEFORE THE BEAN COUNTERS SAY ENOUGH, LETS RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR AT LEAST ASSIST PEOPLE WITH DEFECTIVE CAR PARTS? *TR
