What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercury montego. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal upon approaching a traffic stop signal. The vehicle suddenly lunged forward without warning. The failure recurred whenever the brake pedal was engaged during a complete stop. The failure became progressively worse. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I experience a sudden acceleration when I am pulling into or backing out of a parking space and pulling into my driveway. I purchased this car used two years ago, so it might not be the first occurrence.
When I come to a stop my car will lunge forward as I take my foot of the brake. The rpms notably rise from 700 to over 1000. This has recently started with 66,000 miles on the car.
Our 2006 mercury montego lunges, and suddenly accelerates with no foot pressure on the gas pedal. It is clearly a missed recall with issues with the throttle body. Ford knows all about this issue and so do you.....I am not the first to complain! Do something before someone gets killed!
