The contact states on occasion when he puts on the brakes instead of braking the car will accelerate and the engine will rev. Has to stomp on the brakes, turn off the ignition and/or put the car in neutral to get it to stop. The contact noticed this just after purchasing the car in June. It has gotten progressively worse. Vehicle is a 2001 Mercury Sable. The dealer cannot duplicate the problem. He has not talked to the manufacturer. The cigarette lighter was inoperative, the fuse was replaced.

The car would not start even though the battery was not dead. After switching the remote entry back and forth from lock to unlock several times, the engine started. The engine simply stopped without warning several times at various speeds from 65 to about 20mph. The dealer claimed a contact in the fuse box was not long enough to make sufficient contact with the fuse. I also suspect the anti-theft device or ignition switch might be at fault.
