What owners wrote
The car has stalled on me 3 times while driving. The first time the vehicle stalled going up a driveway with the gas pedal pushed in. The second time the car was taveling at 20 MPH turning a corner when vehicle stalled. 3rd time vehicle stalled at 5 MPH with foot pressed on gas pedal. The car stalled and would not start up, causing it to hit a curb. The vehicle has been in to the dealership over 12 times, each time customer stating the same problem, however they do not have a solution.
My vehicle has not caused an accident or a crash yet, but it soon could. The throttle/ accelerator has been sticking on my 2000 mercury cougar since soon after I bought it in october of 2003. It started with the rpms revving up to 2 or 3 as I was coming to a stop. This happened once every couple weeks or so. The rpms do not go down until after I have completely stopped. It has since became more frequent (close to every time I drive the car) and significant(rpms go to 3 or 4).
