Well, I don't actually keep AAA, and you are correct. It took four hours to get help when that problem occurred.... Mercury never notified them that there was a recall on some part of their engine intake... which was made of plastic... and predictably it cracked while a co-worker and I were at least three hours away from home. Lost all the antifreeze. Had to eventually let it cool, limp it, let it cool, limp it... about four times until we found a gas station to give AAA our address. We knew what road and what town but that wasn't good enough for them. Thus, I'm wondering if my GPS will save me that hassle with MB next time if it's my car.
