When i was driving the car started to sputter and would not pick up speed. I took the car to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic test and gave me the codes to take to a ford dealership. The sensor switch for both rear breaks where replaced. A week later same thing happened. It is currently doing the same thing. The break system light is coming on and the control system light. Nobody seems to be able to fix it. I have been driving down the highway, on private streets when the car starts to sputter and i have to turn it off and on at least 3 times before it will pick up speed and go.

"takata recall" in july 2016, i received a recall notification from ford advising that the air bag inflators were defective. I just received another letter from ford dated december 2017 advising that it was unsafe for anyone to occupy the front passenger seat until the recall revision is complete. I find this to be totally unacceptable as this is our only family car. I suggest that the ford motor company furnish replacement cars with working air bags to those of us affected, at their expense until the passenger air bag in my car is repaired. Since we are now being advised that a front passenger involved in a front end collision could be fatally injured, we have lost the safe use of our car. Please investigate this matter as soon as possible.please see warning on december 2017 recall letter.

Takara airbags
I've been trying to get a replacement airbag for my ford/mercury for years and years. Wrote them several times (have letters) and spoke to my dealership gosch ford in hemet, ca. (have names and dates) which they continue to blame it on ford motor co. All to no avail. Ford continues to send me safety recall letters and promises of next month, next quarter, next this and that. They never produce my/the airbag/s. And, when ford came up with this ' rent a car' there was never one available: enterprise was always out of cars. Plus the fact, it would have cost me money to rent one at some other rental agency, pay for mileage on these rentals, or go to another city 45 minutes away for one, etc. Not a good deal at all. It has been very frustrating, discouraging, and they are, frankly in my view, not dealing in good faith. The commentators on tv, continue to say, "takata airbags maim and killing people - get your's replaced" now! we are trying to, but none are available at least from ford. What are we to do? i am glad that a law suit has been filed. Maybe we'll get some action. If takata won't replace their airbags... I would think someone else i.e. 'the motor companies' would take that up and make their own to save the lives and build good will among their customers. Maybe we would then buy more american parts and their built here cars. I'm just glad my elderly father and grandchildren have not been harmed yet. It's hard to put 4 to 5 people in the car without using the passenger seat. We need help here and compensation for all the trouble, aggravation and promises not kept...along with these destructive airbags that they put in our cars and have refuse to replace all these years knowing full well in the beginning that they were defective. They've had plenty of time to correct this matter. Putter your head in the sand- now crying fowl... Really. Go get them.
7/2016 i received my first recall notice from ford stating my passenger takata airbag was recalled.at that time my local ford dealer said the parts were being released by "zone in the u s".12/2017 i received my second letter from ford now telling me that this could not be remedied until "spring 2018" and in the meantime "no one should ride in the passenger seat".duh, just how in the heck is a household suppose to function in this manner?this is absolutely ridiculous on ford's part.

Have received numerous notices from ford about airbag recall for this vehicle. I received the last notice requesting i contact my dealer.lou fusz ford, chesterfield, mo, and gave them the information in the notice about now being able to order my new airbags for the milan. I just checked with the dealership and they have no idea about the order placed for the new airbags and cannot locate any order associated with my vin. This is now going on 2 years waiting for the fix . Everyday our lives are in danger while driving this car.

Takata recall. This is not being remedied in a timely manner. The letter from ford motor company, in may 2018, stated that parts were anticipated to be available during the second and third quarters of 2018. With the fourth quarter coming to a close, i have become inpatient. Itis very inconvenient to be unable to transport passengers safely in my vehicle.
Takata recall -- no replacement parts have been made available by the manufacturer or auto maker. The defect still exists though the recall has been in effect for years!
I received my recall notice in february 2018, it is now october 2018. Is this a joke? the notice states that this problem can cause "death". Theses replacement parts need to be installed in the recall vehicles before ford installs them in new vehicles.
Takata recall
Takata recall: my local ford dealership reports they have not had the parts to perform the repair. They say "ford has not released the parts." this has been the situation since i received the dmv notice dated august, 2018.
Shortly having the airbag replaced under recall, the airbag warning light became illuminated. The dealer said is was not related to the recall work and the system was showing fault codes for the crash sensor, deployment, and pretty much every circuit.
Takata recall - i received a notice dated june 2018 advising of a recall due to the passenger airbag. The notice provided an eta for the parts to become available during the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2018. I still have not received a call to have this issue resolved and we are now in the 4th quarter of 2018. I was advised by phone from the ford dealer i could drive the car however i wouldn't be able to have anyone sit in the front seat. I would like to have this issue resolved as quickly as possible. I received a notice earlier this month advising of the airbag settlement with a hearing date set for december 11, 2018. I do not want to be excluded from this class action settlement and would like to receive more information in reference to this matter. Thank you for your assistance.
There is a recall on the airbags, in case of a car crash they will rupture. I called a ford dealer and i was informed that they are waiting for the replacement material. What if i get in a car accident today? he said that they don't have this replacement material throughout the country. It is unacceptable!
"takata recall"-16v-384 i received a recall letter notice in july of 2016 and called the ford dealership right away.they did not have the part.i have inquired twice since and just called the dealership again who said they did not have the part and to call the ford helpline. I just got off the ford helpline and they said the part is still not available and i will be notified by letter when the part is available. I did express to ford that i was worried about the safety of my passengers and was not happy about this.the person on the ford helpline who identified himself as "eddie" said that ford had decided that there was no danger and they had not had any complaints about the airbag malfunctioning so the car is safe to drive according to ford. I inquired as to why only the passenger airbag was recalled and not the driver airbag or the side airbags.he said those others may be from a different manufacturer. I think that this has taken too long and i am concerned about the safety of my car.what is being done by the government to make takata correct this problem???
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags) in june of 2018. The contact spoke with an unknown dealer several times and was informed that the part was not available. The contact was advised to check back regarding part availability. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall. This recall has been going on since 06/01/2016. Ford cannot fix this problem because they do not have the part. Now we have received notice that takata is bankrupt. So we are left with a vehicle which no one can ride in the passenger seat due to the possibility of death worst case scenario! do you want to put a family member in that seat and roll the dice!! someone needs to come up with a fix now. Can ford not dismantle the air bag to not release as a temporary fix until the part comes in? at least this would be better for the owners of the vehicle so the seat could be used. Not to mention, safer! oh, but that might cost someone $ and even though it is their fault, the collateral damage is worth the risk rather than loose the $....what a sad country we are living in. It has been over a year and companies cannot come up with a fix! i am shocked that ford has not gotten more involved than they have since they will be the ones who will be sued if anything bad happens. They made the vehicles and are therefore responsible. No one really cares who made the airbags. Ford should step up and make this right.

I have been complaining about this several times to ford motor co and my ford dealership, gorsh in hemet ca who say "they don't have any" and nhtsa for many years and have letters to prove it. As of 6/15/18 nhtsa states on their website "...remedy not yet available."what? when will i get my airbag? my friends, grandchildren and father need an airbag? my 8+ years is long enough to wait. So here's another complaint.it's time for you - nhtsa recall #16v384 and mfg. Recall # 16s26 of 06-01-16 to be heard in court and get my airbag along with all others who have been waiting on takata. (i called your 888 number and was sent again to back to your internet site!) every time i see this subject on tv and just recently heard another campaign call "operation find & fix" is all well and good and they always seem to be on the manufacturers side... And, say "get your car/s in people and replace those airbags they cause harm and death!" dah!!! it's not usually 'us'. We can't get the darn airbags! there not available! get us the 'darn airbags' and we will put them in.and let us put the 'airbag' in before we have to describe the "note" describing our experience below before we have a "bad" one !!!

Takata plus numerous other recalls:powertrain control module, "contamination on internal motor contacts of the throttle body" rear tail lights replaced, arm rest replaced as it became detached, battery replaced at 23k miles and does not hold a charge and consistently needs to be recharged.this happened at a light in a major and very busy intersection.i went and the car did not move and almost got rear-ended. It additionally over excelerated on its own. I had to get my car towed to dealer as the car died due to failed throttle.
Recall was sent june 2016 and have followed up with ford dealer several times and have been told that they do not have the air bag to replace the defective one.my wife a cancer survivor and has a pillow that she places in the front of her body when i drive to protect the surgeries she has done so that there is not severe injuries if in an accident or the air bag deploys on its own
Takata recall. I recieved notice of recall in june 2016 and i have been unable to get airbag replaced.everytime i call dealership im told the parts is not availablle. That is to dangerous situation to be riding around with. But it is your only car.

We received a recall nearly 2 years ago on potential problem with airbag in this vehicle. We have checked several times with dealership and have yet not been told they have the fix for the problem. The letters we have received have strongly urged no one ride in front passenger seat. This vehicle is driven by my wife and sometimes, myself. We however are not comfortable with someone sitting on passenger side front seat. So the extended time of nearly two years has been extremely inconvenient!

My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway i got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as i was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as i was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while i was driving from one second to the next i got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.
I call my local ford dealerships to schedule a free important safety recall for the driver's side air bag inflator replacement, according to nhtsa is due for replacement, but workers at this location hang up the phone, tell me to wait 1 second and dissapear making me write this paragraphs because my safety is #1 priority. They want me to leave my vehicle in their properties for 3 days for a simple 2 hour job and that is really unacceptable, only because its free dont mean i have to put up with this nonsense. The vehicle runs and works fine but in aan event of a crash god forbiddes, i wouldnt want exploding airbag fragment to be the cause of my death and im urging to get this replaced asap but lazy worker who dont like their job should be fired to open up position for people who appreciate their jobs. Now i dont know how to take care of this situation im stuck knowing there is a potential for an airbag explosion deploying and risking my life at the hands of inconmpetent workers who dont realize how important recalls really are. I cant afford a new vehicle plus my vehicle turns on and the tires rotate without a hassle theres no point in buying more junk. Please get back at me thank you and god bless. I have records of a recall that was done on passenger side airbag but now nhtsa recommends the driver side i appreciate the advice but dealerships act really unprofessionally towards the situation.
My wife had a green light and proceeded through and intersection. Someone in ran a red light and t-boned her in the drivers door doing approx 40 mph. None of the side curtain (or any airbags) deployed. My wife suffered head injuries and bruising to her legs and shoulders. The vehicle was only 5 months old and has been totaled. It has been a week since the accident and she has had a headache and neck pain since.
My car stalled suddenly in moderate 35 mph traffic on 8/16/14.i was nearly rear ended while i had to restart my car as there was nowhere to pull over.on 8/17/14, my car stalled suddenly after traveling .5 mile from home (at approx. 20 mph), so i returned to my house.on 8/18 at 7 am, i spoke to sheehy ford in richmond, va, and was given an appointment for throttle body repair to occur on 8/19 under their "customer satisfaction program" 13b17.i was told that i was not in danger of getting stranded, so i had my husband follow me to work on 8/18.the car stalled again on 8/18 while traveling at 40 mph.rather than replace the faulty part which they did have in stock, ford merely recalibrated the powertrain since the check engine light was not lit when i dropped off the car for service, even though i notified them twice of the multiple incidents (via phone on 8/18 and in person on 8/19).i have filed a complaint with ford since the contaminated internal motor contacts of the throttle body remain in my vehicle.
Driving on parkway in huntsville alabama when the power steering default light come on and couldn't steer it at all and memorial parkway is always very busy. Couldn't even get in a turning lane to get off of the parkway. Took me two hrs to drive 10 miles and finally got it into the parking lot at the maintenance shop. Like to have never got it to a shop. Imagine a 72 yr old elderly lady trying to enter the parking lot of a maintenance shop. I really need some help to replace a power steering.
Driver side brake light does not go off when lights are turned on.judging by the number of complaints this looks like a common problem.recall please.
I turned the corner today and my car suddenly lost power and sputtered and was difficult to steer. I managed to roll to the curb and front end started shaking so i immediately turned it off. Turned the ignition again and it struggled to start but did and then immediately repeated the above scenario. Fire station was on the corner and luckily three firemen saw what happened and drive down to help push my car into a culdesac. Waited 90 min for a tow to the dealer and now stuck with paying for a rental. I paid for an extended warranty and will be very upset if this isn't covered! very dangerous and i don't know that i'll feel safe driving this car anymore! a recall needs to be issued!!!!!
The first incident occurred when i was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and i would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before i try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third i was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened i had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once i did get it started i would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode. I was lucky to get it to the ford dealer without having to have it towed.
I was in motion merging onto a two lane highway.i ran over two consecutive manhole covers while lightly braking to see if it was clear. But when i went to brake because it wasn't clear to merge onto the highway i had barely any brake! thankfully the car in front of me was able to merge or i would have hit him. After that i had a very soft brake pedal. Left it in a parking lot until after work. So hours later, the brakes seemed fine. But i didn't trust it. Had it towed and ford told me it was the abs hcu and ecu and that they are known for this problem. Especially after traveling on a rough roadway. I had to go back to the road the next day because i couldn't remember it being a rough road. Then i saw the two consecutive manhole covers. I ran them over in my husbands truck and sure enough, even his truck jolted from them, enough for the abs to engage. This is a horrible issue and i'm amazed that ford has not made it a recall yet! what will it take!? the repair was quite expensive. And i was out of a car for two whole weeks! it took almost a week for the part to come in. Not sure if that was the dealers bs or ford not having the parts readily available for an issue they already know exists. This has not been my first ford product but it sure may be my last!
The exact incident date is unknown.the right tail/brake light does not function at all and the left tail/brake light burns very bright like the brake is depressed but its not.this happens when the headlights are on but they function when the headlights are turned off although the right one is much dimmer.i have spoken to the dealership and was told that the entire light assembly would have to be replaced at a cost of 530.00 per side and there wouldn't be a guarantee that they would last any longer. I have called ford and made a complaint as well.i haven't gotten it fixed yet since its going to cost me over 1000.00 and it may go right back out and happen again.i would like there to be some kind of a recall because i have searched online and have found numerous other reports for the same thing.it is a serious safety issue.
While driving, the car loses power.it is dangerously crippled as it has to be stopped completely and put in the park position before it will restart.when restarting if i take my hand off the key it will continue to try and start the engine until it starts. The check engine light either comes on and goes off or fails to come on..
I started the car and it would not move. It was in "limp mode'. I finally got it to where it would move and the next day took it back to the dealer we bough it from. In their report they identified that nothing was wrong and told me i must have imagined it.on may 29, 2013 it quit again.i went on a trip on may 31, 2013 and it failed 5 times in heavy traffic on interstate roads. I finally found a ford dealer who replaced the throttle module. Other ford dealers i contacted could not help me as they had the part on back order for other cars they could not repair. It was a safety problem and could have been worse it it had failed during passage over a bridge or in a construction zone where there was not a berm. I was lucky. The should have replaced it the first time i took it in but then it was under warranty so they probably didn't want to.
Qua daughter driving back and forth to work, vehicle sputters and loses all speed no throttle response. Has to pull over and restart engine then proceed with caution.unit cuts off every 15 to 20 miles.ford mechanic says its the throttle body assembly of course it's not under warranty.
This is the first time this has happened but it happened twice in the same day. When driving the vehicle we experienced the "limp home mode" problem. I can see this has been well documented and the investigations are ongoing. Here's an additional problem with this event, we never got an indicator light of any kind on the dash. We took the vehicle in for service and the dealer was unable to retrieve any errors at all off the computer and they were unable to recreate the problem. Needless to say they were unable to take any corrective action.i pose this question, why when the vehicle obviously detected a problem to go into "limp home" mode would it not record the error in the computer? why would the dealership be unable to see it?
I have had the milan 2010 into ford 6 times because the engine lost all power without warning:no lights;brakes;steering.i have witnesses.it has happened in all types of conditions:stop and go traffic; merging onto a freeway.the last time black smoke came from under the hood.the car was in the shop for 6 weeks.a week after it was so called "repaired" the problem occurred again.i started a "lemon law" complaint in march 2012.my mother became fatally ill and died and i could not complete the claim.june 15, 2012 i was pulling into a parking space and the electrical system failed.i could not stop.i crashed into a cement wall.the car was a total loss.i got whiplash.my insurance company will not pay the balance remaining on the car.bbb stopped "lemon law" case because there was an accident.no attorney will take the case because there is not enough money to be gained.i am without a car; in debt; injured; driving a rental car and working 12 hours a day to buy a new car.please help me.
When the headlights switch is in the on or parking lights only, the right and left brake lights come on at full brightness.when brakes pedal is depressed, there is no change in brightness of right and left brake lights and the center rear brake light illuminates.when this was taken in for a required ny state inspection, the vehicle failed due to this issue.the mechanic working on the vehicle has stated that this is a very common issue with this year, make and model.dealer has been contacted and stated the cost would be in excess of $1,000 to repair this issue.this is a safety issue that is most likely to lead to rear end collisions and is common in several different vehicles of this year, make and model.manufacturer should be recalling vehicles of this year, make and model to repair this issue.
I was driving about 45 mph and felt a jerk motion and lost engine responses to gas pedal.the check engine and the wrench lights came on. I managed to pull it over on the road shoulder and stopped engine and restarted it. I continued to drive and this happened again in 2 miles. I stopped and restarted engine and drove home carefully. I did a research online and found this might be caused by the engine throttle body issue complained by a lot of mercury 2010 owners. I called a mercury/lincoln dealer andthey asked for $800 to fix it if this was a throttle body issue. They also told me there is no recall on this problem.
Someone noticed my rear passenger tail light on my 2010 mercury milan was abnormally bright and that brake light did not work. So i investigate and find that i have to replace the whole assembly instead of just a bulb. Omg. I have been a loyal ford owner since 1985. The cost to replace is over $600? unbelievable. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
Electronic throttle body stuck open and vehicle went into "limp mode". I was forced to coast to the side of the road, and shut off the vehicle. After a few seconds, i restarted the vehicle, and within five minutes, the same thing happened. I have had the car parked ever since because i feel that this is unsafe, as when this occurs, i have no ability to accelerate, i just have to hope that the cars behind me are paying attention.
A few weeks ago, i had a hard time steering my car at an intersection. When i tried steering, the car would shake as i turned. Although the roads were wet, my tires are relatively new, so i new it wasn't the traction. I turned off the electronic steering assistance and it started turning again. A few days ago, i was turning, the roads were damp, but not wet and i had my steering assist on (it goes on by default). When i tuned, the car went the opposite way of the direction i was turning. I had to turn off my steering assist in order to regain control of my car. There were no alarms, notice or alerts on my control panel. Also, when it's been a hot day or a cold day, the car won't start.
I was merging onto a highwaygoing about 60 mph. My car suddenly went into an idle and the wrench icon came on in the indicator dash. Luckily, i was able to pull over to the shoulder and no vehicle was behind me. I turned off the car and was then able to accelerate. Later in the day, i was again driving on the highway at about 65 mph. When the same thing happened. I then went directly to a ford dealer. They immediately knew what the problem was and said ford had extended their warranty on this problem to 120,000 miles. This is ridiculous! i am sure someone will and probably have been fatally injured because of this issue.there needs to be a recall!!
Jersey city ford service depart reports the hybrid harness burnt out and killed my battery. $900 for the harness, $185 for the 84 month battery. The car is 5 years old and i'm replacing the harness? the vehicle was stationary in a car port. When i tried starting the car the pats system activated, the car would not start. It was towed to the dealership and they called today, the hybrid harness as to be shipped from detroit. This part should not have failed under any normal use....ever. If i had been driving when it failed i would have lost all power, steering, brakes, and ability to control the car.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph the vehicle began to vibrate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact stated on another occasion the vehicle stalled while driving approximately 50 mph. The engine and wrench warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
Vehicle loss of power to gas pedal on interstate 3 times...had to pull over and turn off then restart.electronic throttlebody code p2111.
Intermittent electrical connectivity and issue with throttle.car has had problems since we received it in november 2010. Into walker ford clearwater 4 times recorded - 2 other times not.service department has replaced throttle body 11/12 and completed recall 13b17 (6/2014) but the same exact issues persist.service department stated at least 4 times that they cannot replicate the issue or find the issue.called customer service week of october 14, 2014 and was assigned [xxx](866-631-3788 - ext [xxx]) who we talked to at length and send a follow up email (october 16, 2014) . Called twice and not returned our calls. [xxx].said she would be back to us in a few days with a solution and have a service department prepared to fix the car.it has now been over 15 days since the original conversation.we are afraid to drive the car because,it has sudden reduction of engine power, revs into a high gear with no movement while traveling at 30-55 mph, and twice has died in the middle of intersection.same issues as described in nhtsa action number pe13003.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The taillights never changed illumination, when the headlights where on. When the headlights were not on they illuminated according to brake petal pressing. Was driving at night with headlights on nd was rear ended due to the other driver knowing i was stopping. The other driver was hurt along with her passenger. Next morning to vehicle in to dealership was told it needed a headlight control switch and an rear tail light assemblies. Not bulbs but assembled as these are led. 435$ for each taillight and 50 for control switch.
While operating the vehicle under normal conditions the vehicle would stall out and lose power resulting in rapid decrease in speed and create unsafe driving situations. Car would still be running but pressing the gas would not result in acceleration. Turning vehicle off and restarting again would sometimes remedy problem but problem increased in frequency and severity, even happening to my wife while driving the vehicle on the highway at speeds in excess of 60+ mph traveling through bridge/tunnel system in local area.
I would like to know why nobody has done anything about this throttle body problem. If you look online and you will see how many complaints there are about the same problem. I would like this to be on the recall list so all of the ones that own this car will not have to pay anywhere from 300-500 to get it fixed. This is a safety problem i was driving on i295 going about 6mph and i lost all throttle control , i'm in the far left lane and had no where to go so i'm coasting to the right shoulder and all most got hit 4 times. I would say this is a really important safety problem. I read about 35 of the same problems online and i haven't seen anyone from your company or ford comment on this are they waiting for someone to get killed before anything gets done to fix this. I will be calling monday morning to see what you or ford will do about this problem if nothin is done i will contact a lawyer and the news media. We were almost killed and something needs to get done at fords cost not the people who thought they had a safe car.
I have a 2010 mercury milan.the milan is equipped with led tail and brake lights, unlike it's sibling, the ford fusion.recently, i discovered after being pulled over by the police that thebrake lights were not operating.i went to the dealer's service department, only to discover that the tail light/brake light/turn signal assembly is one sealed, unserviceable unit.there was no warning and leds do not burn out this quickly.to add insult to injury, ford will not cover this under their premuimcare esp warranty, because they consider it a consumable object like tires.so on top of almost getting killed by being rear-ended in a collision, i got the privilege of paying $1000.00 to replace both sealed assemblies.this is a common failure in these vehicles and a hazard on the road which occurs without warning.please recall these vehicles and make ford fix this dangerous issue.thank you,
The driver's side break light is hyderactive when my headlights are on. When the headlights are off the break light works fine. This seems to be a popular issue with many mercury milians. The part was 377.00 to replace it and i have no had the car a full year. Also my driver's side actuator in my headlight went as well. My first car purchased ever and it was ford and i have had nothing but issue with the car. Disappointing.
January 15 2016 i was driving my 2010 milian, went to make a left turn and my steering went out, then my dashboard lit up saying service power steering and advance trac system needs attention,then my passenger front tire blew. Ive seen where the 2011 milian has had a recall on this same issue that my 2010 milian is now having, i havent been able to drive my car since january and i still have 3 years of payments on a car i can't drive. So please send out a recall notice for the 2010 milian so i can start driving my car again.
#1:shortly after purchasing the milan the car began to just shut down while i was driving. I would have to coast to the side of the road, wait a few minutes & then it would restart. I again had it taken to the service center and they had to replace the throttle body. Now i am having this same problem again. This problem has began again. I again took it to the service center & they couldn't fix anything because they said that they couldn't get the car to mimic the problem.i have 2 young children and during one of the failures i was traveling on a rural country road with nowhere to pull off due to stone mountains on each side of the road. I had to wait in the middle of the road a few minutes until the car would cooperate and start again. This a serious safety issue. We all could've been killed and nobody would ever be able to figure out what happened because according to these technicians the car is fine. It needs to be known that the car is not fine and is dangerous to the drivers and other individuals on the road alongside these cars. #2:also, shortly after purchasing the milan i was having trouble getting it started in the morning. The car would simply not start, wouldn't even try to turn over, the message board would say service advance trac the other electrical components in the car worked fine, the car couldn't be "jumped" either. After a few hours it would start up fine. Took the car to the service center and they reprogrammed the keys and now a year later i am having the same problem. Since the center states they cannot get the car to mimic this problem when the car is at the center they haven't fixed anything. At least once a week i have this happen and have to use an alternate means of transportation.my car now has 38,000 miles on it but these problems have been happening since about 24000. Help ford adopt some of the aspects of "our credo values" by j&j!
2.car (hybrid) loses power. This is the only occurrence. The car was started and driven down hill to an intersection. When turning right the car suddenly and without any warning lost power. Several attempts to accelerate failed and the car came to a stop. I looked at the dash and the hev screen. I saw that the battery was fully charged (maximum limit), wrench warning lamp was on and the hev screen showed only the electric motor was on (hi lighted). I turned the ignition key off then on, and the car returned to normal operation. At this point the hev screen showed the engine, motor and batteryhi lighted. Should this happen while entering a freeway, a serious accident could have occurred.
Driver side rear brake light staying illuminated constantly as if the brake is pressed and nearly caused crash (i had two small children sitting in the back of my milan), had the vehicle behind me not went into the ditch a collision would have been inevitable. Please look into this problem as it has the potential to cause bodily harm andinjury to the occupants. I had no idea there was a problem with constant illumination until this point. Upon scheduling an appointment at the ford dealership and doing a little research i see this is a frequently reported problem but no recall has yet been issued nor an investigation. Also since learning of this problem this morning and observing the vehicle brake lights there is also a flicker of lights every so often.
On 5 different occasions during the past week while driving between 70 and 80 mph on the freeway the vehicle stalled and went into limp mode. On one occasion this nearly caused an accident as the vehicle stopped in the middle lane of a three lane highway.no warning lights displayed other than "limp mode light" when the vehicle engine goes to idle.upon shutting vehicle off and restarting, vehicle behaves as normal with no indicator/warning lights.took vehicle to shop to get check engine codes, vehicle shows no error codes.
The drivers side brake light has intermittent operation. The lamp cannot be replaced like a regular turn signal lamp.
On or about 5/20/2013 i noticed a taillight and brake light failure on the right rear taillight assembly.i lookedin the handbook for a bulb number and it was noted that it must be replaced by the dealer.i contacted the local dealer and was informed that this was an led assembly and the whole taillight would need to be replaced.i was further informed that the led's were not the problem , but the ballast in the electrical system that was causing the failure.i was then told that the replacement was $500.00.led's are supposed to last for thousands of hours, unfortunately, judging from the number of complaints on the internet, my situation is not an isolated incident.it is ridiculous to have to pay over $500 to fix a faulty brake/taillight.it then becomes a safety hazard as people may not be able to afford such an expensive fix for what would otherwisebe a $3-4 bulb.the consumer should not have to pay for a poor design and a potential safety hazard.i did contact ford customer service and was told there may be some post-warranty funds available, but that i would need to have the problem diagnosed at the dealer.a service tech diagnosis would cost an additional $110.00 with no guarantee of any financial reimbursement. Now over $600.00 for a brake/taillight.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power while driving highway speeds. The engine stalled and the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was scheduled for an appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was included in a customer service program concerning the electric throttle body replacement. The contact was uncertain if the voluntary service campaign from the manufacturer would provide a solution. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
While driving home from work on the highway at 65mph my car just stopped throttling and lost power dropping me to like 5mph the lil wrench light came on on the left then went off yet i still had no power. So i immediately turned on the hazzard lights and tried to make it to the side of the road through traffic and turned the car off after a few minutes i tried to start the car and it came on like normal to my surprise so i started to drive only to have it happen again and again before making it home. I literally just purchased the car 2 months prior and its been at the dealership, as they try to talk to ford about the problem and how to get it corrected for the past month!
Left rear taillight does not illuminate on depression of the brake pedal.right rear taillight flickers but fully illuminates on depression of the brake pedal.as the lights are led and encased in a housing, the replacement cost approaches $400 per unit.
Driving at 45mph on road, maintaining constant speed, car goes into limp mode, no throttle control. Wrench light comes on. Pulled over to side of the road, put car into park and waited a few seconds, car re-ignited and was able to get home. This happened again 2 times the next day in route to the grocery store which is less than 4 miles away. It has consistently been happening nearly every time i drive it. I have stalled out at 2 intersections which is very dangerous. I just had the car diagnosed with electronic throttle body failure. 136.00 later, and i have ordered the new part, but was told it could take 2-3 weeks before they are available and that if i saved my receipt i will be reimbursed by ford/mercury at recall. I am afraid to drive the car at this point because there is no telling when it will just stall again. Really need my car to get to work!
Rear passenger led tail light flickers intermittently when headlights are on and brake light on this lamp illuminates though no pressure on the brake pedal.per my research, ford is charging customers for this repair (up to $500 per light) though it is a safety issue.flickering light distracting to other drivers as well as unsafe as brake illuminates randomly though i am not braking.
Left rear brake light.it works part of the time and then it does not work.stopped several times for it not working, then it would start.not the entire brake light is out.part of it still lights up.this has been happening since i bought the car used about 4 years ago.
I was driving down the freeway at 65 mph, when the check engine and transmission light came on and the car immediately started to decelerate and i was not to give the car gas to get out of the way of moving traffic. After turning the car off and turning the car on again, the car seemed to have reset itself and the car started working properly again. A couple of months later, now at 41000 miles, the car is having this problem more frequently and is unsafe to drive. I took the car to a dealership to see what was wrong with the car when they stated to me that the throttle body kept getting stuck closed. I feel this should be looked into further as a problem with the throttle body should not be going out for a car that is still practically brand new.
Power steering hydraulic locked on me twice while driving first time i was on express way and hit wall 2nd time i knew what was about to happen and of course steering locked and i almost crashed again this needs to be addressed because my research shows me folks have died from this but because it's not enough deaths it won't be recalled this is crazy why recall 2011 that has same part and not 2010
Both tail lamps illuminate irregularly.sometimes one will stay on all the time as if braking, other times one will come on ,but flicker and still other times they won't work at all.while driving, i have no idea if they are working correctly or not.i am concerned that i will get hit from behind due to this problem.
Right rear tail lamp / brake light assembly inop again. This is my 3 assembly that has failed in 15 months. It is an led assembly, it costs $375.00 for the part. You can't replace a bulb. This should be covered under a safety recall.
Just drove home from the dealer after buying this used 2010 mercury milan with 26000 miles and when i backed into my parking space i saw the reflection on the wall behind me that was no difference in the light with or without my foot on the brake. I called the dealer next day and they said to bring it back leave it for a day. I have found online that the led lights have a problem. I have not returned it yet because i live 80 miles from the dealer and need a ride home. I hope to this week.
When driving, the car feels like it shifts gears, the wrench light comes on and engine power is lost. After pulling over, turning off the engine and restarting, the car drives normally. This happened multiple times in one day. Dealer reprogrammed pcm and it was fine for two months. Same thing happened on june 21, 2012. This is potentially life threatening problem because it has happened at highway speeds in rush hour conditions. Many consumer reports of same symptoms can be easily found on internet by searching for "electronic throttle control."when i took car to dealer after most recent occurrence, they said their were no codes showing so there was nothing to fix. Ford needs to investigate why this is happening and recall/fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured because of this problem!
I purchased my 2010 mercury milan used on august 30, 2012 with 987 miles. Approximately in june, 2013 the car's right rear tail lamp went completely out and i had a new tail lamp installed for $408 + labor.in november, 2013 the car's left rear tail lamp went completely andi had a new tail lamp installed for $408 + labor. Now,march 6, 2015 the right rear tail lamp has gone out and i cannot afford to keep on paying these expenses when i now know that this is a ford problem and due to poor engineering of the light assembly and because it has not been re-engineered to correct the problem, this will be a recurring problem for the life of the car. I run the chance of being stopped by the police for an unsafe vehicle.
I've had multiple issues with the milan throttle body for over a year.everytime i take it to the dealer they say the computer just needs reprogrammed.after i leave the dealership my car usually has a hard failure just like it did before (loss of power, engine running rough, car rolls to a stop).i can completely turn the car off and turn back on and it runs fine again for a while and then does it all over again.the dealership will only keep reprogramming the computer.they have also replaced the throttle body 2 times but after about 100 miles it starts all over again.ford has refused to do anything other than what the dealership can find which is only what the codes say (reprogram computer or replace throttle body).i'm not going to keep taking my car in every week to get reprogrammed.ford has refused to give me a loaner car to use until they fix it.i've taken multiple days off work and arranged for other transportation for the previous work.however, enough is enough.i can't keep taking my car back for some that ford knows needs fixed.this is clearly a significant safety issue.i travel a lot on highways and interstates and when i lose power i've had some close calls will accidents (re ended) and trying to get to a shoulder to pull off and restart car.i can no longer use my car to drive my kids around due to the safety concerns of being hit during a failure or stranded. I've made this known very clearly to ford but they don't seem to care. If they do they are not acting on it. I would hate for something terrible to happen before they fix it.i'm not only concerned for my family but others that may be having similar issues with their car.all i'm asking for is for ford to recognize this is a very real and serious safety concern.they need to look a little deeper at the issue. I just want a safe car to drive until they can fix it.
I was driving when all of a sudden the engine shutdown leavingme stranded. Didn't want to take any chances so had ittowed to ford garage for repair. They said it was the throttle body and it would be 200.00 for part plus labor and diagnostic charge . This is a 2010 come on ford !!! as a longtime ford owner i am very disappointed.this was the second occurrence ,the first time it started up and i was able to go on my way.
I commute approx 45 miles to work on a dailybasis monday thru friday. I have a friend that also commutes, and on several occasions she has called me and asked if i was on the interstate and where i was located, she said i can tell when you are on the road, as your tail lights are always so much brighter than everyone's. Approx a month and a half ago, the same thing happened and my friend asked me to step on the brakes, she noted that the only difference in the lighting on the back of my car was that the brake light in the back window came on, the taillight-brake lights didn't change when i stepped on them brake.i have since taken my car into the dealership to find out what is the matter, one dealership reported that i have an led board out, on both sides, approx cost 397 dollars a piece.i then took it to a ford dealership and they have spent 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem was, they changed the switch under the dash, thought it was fixed and then couldn't get the car out of gear. They then took a taillight out of another mercury milan on their lot and put it in my car, which worked, but then didn't on the other car. The mechanic i spoke with said they had not seen this before, but had never looked for it because no one had brought it to their attention, he reported that he was going to check all the cars on their lot and was very concerned about the safety issue, that i could have very easily have been rear-ended, because there was no change in the brake lights. The mechanic said that when the headlights are on , the brake lights are on continuously.
I was driving about 40 miles per hour and then all of the sudden the car stop working properly. The wrench lit up on the dashboard. I decided to pull to the side and turn off the car. After turning off the car, i turned it on again and i was able to drive for about 4 miles. Then, when it was time to drive it up a hill, it did the same.
I was traveling at a high rate of speed (70mph) when my engine began to "stall out" on me causing a rapid deceleration. I would say it stalled, but it did not 100% cutout, rather it went into thelowest limp mode on the engine. Luckily, since it was a busy time of night (approximately 6pm), i was in the right hand land and was able to pull off before being rear ended...though it would almost inevitably happened had i been in any other lane. I was near an exit and coasted slowly in the limp mode and made it to a parking lot, where i turned off my car and popped the hood to examine the issue further. The oil was within range and belts were ok. Just as i was finishing the coasting, i saw the "wrench" light illuminate. After checking the engine, i was able to re-start my car and drive home without incident. I looked up the issue online & found many others with the same issue.i ordered oem replacement parts that took about a week to arrive.over the course of that week, the issue occurred several more times and happened more and more frequently.i avoided highways altogether for safety concerns.i contacted ford who told me i could have it repaired at my cost at a dealership (since i was a few thousand over the powertrain warranty).i bought oem parts & did the repair myself and the issue has not happened again since.this is the exact issue listed in nhtsa action number: pe13003.
Driver side rear brake light is fully illuminated at all times when the headlights are on. This is a safety issue and replacement of the driver side taillight is $400+.
I was driving approx 60 mph on a highway. My car "jerked" forward once, and i completely lost the ability to accelerate.after moving to the shoulder of the road, my car was shaking and difficult to put in park due to the shaking.car would start up again, but did not have the ability to accelerate except in low drive.would not accelerate except in low. Had to towed to the dealership, where the throttle body needed replaced and kam reset. This is a 2010 car, fairly new.
Commuting home from work the gas pedal became unresponsive, the entire began running very rough, and the red wrench symbol illuminated on my drivers display.coasted to a safe spot to pull off, turned off the car let it sit for a minute or two, restarted the car, the display was clear, gas pedal response was good, and engine sounded normal.drove home without further incident.four days later a similar incident, contacted my ford garage, described the problem and made an appointment for a diagnostic.diagnostic came back with the throttle body diagnosis, the parts are on back order with no estimated receiving date.will cost just under $500 to repair, 3 months out of bumper to bumper coverage, just under 27k on the car.not covered under the extended power train coverage because it is a sensor/ electrical problem.i am 7th or 8th in line for the part when it becomes available at my local dealership.
When driving at any speed and unexpectedly, the carlosespower and there isno warningthisis goingto happen.i was thankfully on an fm road when car lost power - has happened daily and thistime grandkidsin the car.however, am a seniorcitizen and haveto think quickly to get offthe road - this time there was no shoulder and had to poke to a turn and drift down - ihave read thishasbeenreportedto ford andthey say thecar still has powerenough to get safely off the road and not a risk??? surely they are kidding me - thisis a huge risk and i bought this vehicle in august 2013 and it ifoct andhasbeenhappening for awhile - idonotthink i should pay for arepair after reading howmany mercurys are affected obviously with the same exact problem - the safety risk is getting rear-ended because whenithappens trafficisrightbehind you
Electronic throttle body (etb) indicator is illuminated. I have a sudden loss of power while driving, my accelerator stops working or has extremely limited power, and my engine idles roughly.
The passenger side led brake light assembly is constantly illuminated as if the brakes are applied but they are not.makes a safety hazard as it is distracting to drivers that are following and they may misjudge my braking.this is the second assembly that i have had go faulty.the first was the day i bought it but the dealer replaced the $400 part for free.
Last year, i was driving down the interstate when a police man pulled me over. He told me that my tail light was out, and gave me a warning. Whenever i got home, i asked my husband to check out the my tail light, and he told me that nothing was wrong. I checked as well, and sure enough, the problem fixed itself. A few weeks later, a family member who was following me called to let me know that the light was out. I took my car to a ford dealer, and they explained to me that the entire fixture (on both sides) was defective and that their was a short. He then informed me that it would cost well over $1,000 to cover the repair costs. I still haven't had the opportunity (or the money) to make this repair, and after doing a lot of research, it seems that there are many others who are experiencing the same issues. I am also having problems with my throttle (i will be filing a separate complaint for this). Because of these two incidents, i am very disappointed in the mercury milan, and i hope that this vehicle gets recalled.
Intermittent problem which occurred at variable speeds (25 mph, 40 mph, 60 mph) with rapidly increasing frequency in the week before the throttle body was replaced. While driving, the engine seemed to shift out of gear. However, there was no increase in rpm in response to the accelerator. Pulled to side of road with very low rpm, the vehicle was turned off and then restarted each time without problem.
Car would occasionally stall, then restart.would become more frequent over time until car would stall after only driving a block.
After only 24,600 miles, the sun roof worked one day and the next day when the button was activated the sunroof began to lower the rear of the window but wounld open no further. Upon multiple tries, the raising and lowering of the rear part of the window is all it would do.when taken ot blloomington lincoln, (mn) they informed me that the motor and entire track system would need replacing.they took pictures to send to ford to see if they would honor the warranty. Gee. The vehicle is still under the 3 yr, 36000 limit.should have been a no brainer.
Right rear brake light stays engaged constant, 100% luminous when headlights are on. Dealer replaced complete tail lamp assembly january 1, servicedfebruary 2012 under warranty.mileage 32141. Now a second time same problem with same right lamp. Not sure how long it has been that way. I was notified by family member when they were following me home one evening.70000 miles. These led lamps are expensive, seems as if lighting has faulty parts assembly malfunction instead of a routine light replacement.multiple complaints listed here for same issue. Is there a recall? i have not received anything for a recall. Now has become a safety concern.
While commuting to work on the highway, the engine started bucking and hesitating, then went into an idle. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, shut the engine off for about 20 seconds. When i restarted it, it took longer to actually start. I drove for another 5 minutes and it happened again. This time i pulled over, turned the engine off and waited a couple minutes before restarting. I was able to drive to the dealer on side roads at no more than 35 mph without another incident. The mechanic told me the throttle body needed to be replaced and it is on backorder until mid-july - 5 weeks away! furthermore, since it is not on recall, they won't pay for a loaner.
Right rear brake light activates and stays on while running/headlights are turned on.i have also seen this while driving behind similar milans.some with both sides activated leaving only the center light to indicate actual braking.
The tail light assembly burned out after an unusually short period of time, they are led type and lasted only 5 years.led's with this short life span should be considered defective as there are numerous incidents being reported about this problem.
Takata plus numerous other recalls:powertrain control module, "contamination on internal motor contacts of the throttle body" rear tail lights replaced, arm rest replaced as it became detached, battery replaced at 23k miles and does not hold a charge and consistently needs to be recharged.this happened at a light in a major and very busy intersection.i went and the car did not move and almost got rear-ended. It additionally over excelerated on its own. I had to get my car towed to dealer as the car died due to failed throttle.
I was putting my car in park and the lights flickered a few timesthe car lock and unlocked a several times. I cut the car off and when i tired to open the door i count open it or let the windows down. No windows or doors would open. I waited 5 to 10 minutes. I turned the car own and all the doors and windows worked except drivers door. Unable to open drivers door from inside. I have to rule down window to open driver door.
While driving, the throttle would lose the ability to send fuel to the motor thus causing no acceleration ability.i was required to pull off of the road and turn the vehicle off and restart it.the check engine light and throttle light came on.the vehicle needed an new electronic throttle body.
Initially it began as reduced power to the engine and the wrench/check engine light illuminating. However, after that, i would get surges of power to the engine and the car would jump forward. The car remained drivable, but clearly unsafe. I could not with any confidence continue to drive the car especially on the highway which i do daily.
Driving on freeway when vehicle acceleration became unresponsive. Pulled over to the side of the freeway and could tell engine was still running but not well. Turned vehicle of using the key and restarted the engine. It was a little hesitant to start - it took 5-6 seconds of the key being turned for it to start but had no problems after until the next occurrence. This occurred around 5-6 times until i could get it to the dealership with no regard for speed/road conditions/driving conditions. One moment it was fine the next it had no acceleration.
When the headlights are on the brake lights do not work.when the headlights are off the brake lights work. When you turn on the headlights the brake lights go on.the middle brake light in the rear window does work.took car to ford dealer, $149. For diagnosis.dealer spoke with ford and they are willing to make repair at a cost of $100. Rather then $1000. Which is what it would cost if ford did not pay for repair.i noticed that others had the same problem.now i am worried that something else may go wrong with the electrical system.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the transmission wrench icon remained illuminated for months. The dealer (natchez ford lincoln, 14 sgt prentiss dr, natchez, ms 39120, (601) 445-0076) refused to provide a solution and suggested that the vehicle be diagnosed and repaired. The contact stated that there was a remedy for an unknown transmission recall that was not performed on the vehicle; however, the dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per the recall. In addition, the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The dealer stated that parts were unavailable. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
For years i have sporadically gotten a "power steering sensor fault" displayed when i would start the car.you could barely turn the steering wheel.in searching the owner's manual, owners are advised to turn off the ignition, wait briefly then restart the car (how this issue got into the owner's manual and could not be addressed and eliminated, i don't understand).this would correct the fault and the power steering would function normally.fortunately it never happened while driving.in the last week this display was occurring more frequently until on 5/16/21 it would not go away and i could not drive the car.today, 5/20/21 i got it towed to the local ford dealer.the situation will probably not be diagnosed until next week.from reading everything on the internet, this is a routine safety concern, and a recall for the control module has been issued on the 2011-2015 milan models.unfortunately my car is 2010 and is not included in the recall.aren't we talking about an identical control module as to those that have been recalled??then why wouldn't the nhtsa not be concerned about this very similar safety issue??!!i'm thankful this didn't happed to me while driving!
Advancetrac and power steering warning lights came on; lost all power steering.this is the third occurrence of the same problem.dealer previously replaced a fuse, then the power steering unit.will take it to the dealer for the third repair.
Electronic throttle body failed as i was driving on the interstate.car lost all throttle control, idled down to 1000 rpm, and rapidly decelerated in heavy interstate traffic.had to pull over immediately.
The initial incident in november, 2013 was the failure of the passenger side rear led tail light assembly.this resulted in the brake lights not operating when the brakes were depressed.a police officer stopped the car for a warning due to the brake light failure.mileage on the car at the time was 12,700 miles. Due to the safety hazard the repair was needed. The entire assembly, not just a single bulb needed to be replaced. Approximately 10 months later in september, 2014 the driver side rear led tail light is now malfunctioning in the same way.brake lights are again flickering and not working when the brakes are depressed.mileage on the car at the time of this next failure was 16,100 miles.the dealer quoted price to repair is over $450!this car is garage kept, well maintained and has not been in involved in any accidents.ford should fix this defect under a safety recall free of charge to customers!
Traveling to army national guard drill during the early morning hours is when this occured.i was going speed limit while turning right onto an onramp which leads to the highway.there was a weird vibration in the sterring wheel and it failed and could not be turned back from the right position.i am strong and i could not move it.this malfunction cause my car to smash into a tree.i was knocked out, head injruy, and very bad back/shoulder injury.i was taken by 911 to the hospital and i have been treated for multiple things.ford is yet to repond to anything or to offer some sort of settlement for this which is absolutly their fault.i have got a lawyer to keep sending demands to ford.now, i saw on the news that this is actually a problem they are now finding out about and claiming no one has been seriously hurt from it...well this is not true as i did.i am also seeking a negligence claim because a week prior, they replaced a faulty transmission in my car which also could have lead to this.hopefully your agency does some serious investigation.
Driving thru town at approx 30 mph the vehicles warning lights flashed for check engine and the throttle control warning (wrench) illuminated.the vehicle would not respond to any activation of the gas peddle and drifted to idle power.not understanding what went wrong, i shut the car down and restarted it to clear the faults.i re-entered traffic and proceeded about 50 ft before it happened again.i proceeded to follow the same reset process and was able to limp the car home. The car was towed away and repaired by replacing the electronic throttle body.research shows that since 2004 ford has known that this problem exists and that the engine design default is to bring the car down to idle power.internet chat boards have stories of this happening on highways at high rates of speed.ford claims there is no recall because the government (you guys) have not required them to do so despite the failure mode, and public safety implications, being exactly the same as nhtsa action number pe13031.ford fixed the problem recently but did not scrap old defective inventory and refuses to fix those suspect parts on our roads.they have calculated the costs and choose to risk public safety instead of a recall.
Brake lights will not operate when head lights are on. This problem could have been defective when car was purchased. My dad is 86 years old and bought the car new as dealer demo in 02/ 2013. Hes was notified that his brakes were not working and when he returned the vehicle ford would not honor the problem, i have investigated this problem on the internet and there are numerous complaints with this year model.my dad could have been seriously hurt if not notified bye a person following him.this cost him approxomitly 1000.00 dollars to fix i feel ford should recall these do to this problem.
I was driving going about 20mph and the vehicle would stall. Once i stopped again and tried to accelerate the wrench tool symbol appeared on the dash and the car shut down. While riding before the car shut off the engine was idling very roughly. This is the second time i have had the problem in the last 7 months and supposedly its a problem with the throttle. This is a very bigto a lot of people including myself i see if ford see there's a continuous problem please fix it because this is ridiculous.
The car stalled on the highway, started up. About a mile later it stalled again...no warning lights came on... Then combusted into flames and burnt to the ground.*dt*as*dt
While traveling at a speed of 70mph an heading south on i69 in my 2010 mercury milan 2.5l premier, my vehicle jerked and started shaking with my rpm's jumping from 800 to 1100.the check engine light turned on and so did the wrench light.i turned on my hazards and made my way to the side of the road.i shut off the vehicle and restarted it and the warning lights turned off.i started on the road again and at about 45 mph it did the same thing.i got off at the next exit and went to autozone to get the code pulled.it was code p2111, throttle circuit in the open position.i did a google search and found out this is an extremely dangerous and common problem with this vehicle and the mercury mariner, ford focus, and ford escape with the same engine.i called the dealership and they literally laughed at me and informed me that the throttle body is on national back order and there are currently 7,000 of these orders awaiting to be filled.the dealership also informed me that the manufacturer of the throttle body and ford are currently trying to give an updated part number which means that they are making a new part to fix this problem.this leaves me with a three year old car completely useless sitting in my driveway.this should be a recall as any car that just shuts off while you are on the freeway is extremely dangerous if you do not know what to do in that situation.
While driving on a country road at 50 mph on mon. May 27th, the car seemed to stall, the gas pedal didn't work & we had to pull over asap. After stopping & restarting the car, we were able to proceed home.at the time, i thought it was a fluke.then on may 30th it happened again on my street going around 30 mph, so i called the dealer and they said i could come in the next day. Later that same day, i was in rush hour traffic on rt 22(busy highway) & it happened while i was going 60 in the left lane,this was very scary as it was difficult to get over to the shoulder with so much traffic.i took my car to the ford dealer on friday may 31st & they said there were no alerts on the car, that they would do a software upgrade that would hopefully fix the issue.the receipt they gave me listed that a throttle body was needed, & it was on back order. I have been trying to minimize using the car, but on june 15th i had to go to my niece and nephew's dance recital in south nj. While driving home on 295 (major highway) going around 65 the car died again.i was able to proceed after restarting the car, but didn't make it home again without it happening another time. I was making a left turn at an intersection light and the engine died. Thank god it wasn't a wider intersection or i would not have been able to coast through.at this point this car is unusable and is a death trap waiting to happen.i called another dealer, and the part is on back order there as well. This is clearly a major problem with defective throttle bodies in the 2010 milan that should be recalled, i would like to know how this problem will be rectified.the proof is in the fact that they cannot make the part fast enough to fix the broken cars.the two dealers i dealt with are aware of this widespread problem, obviously due to a manufacturing defect with the throttle body assembly. I have <60k miles.
I was driving the short distance home when my vehicle began to shake back and forth. The error light came on stating that the power steering needed to be checked. When i turned off the car and turned it back on, the car no longer allowed the power steering to drive. The electric rack and pinion for my 2010 mercury milan needs to be replaced. There have been several recalls for the same problem with other mercury milans but my particular car does not have the same recall even with the same occurance.
The driver side rear brake light does not work when the driving lights are on.it seems there are multiple people with this same problem, as a responsible company ford should fix this issue and not pass there error on to the consumers. The fog lights also are having electrical issues, sometimes they work, other times they don't.
Driver side tail lamp assembly is not functional seems the led portion of the taillight assembly needs to be replaced at a cost of $400-500 from the dealer. This is the second taillight in the 2 years of ownership that it has had to be replaced. Very poor design and safety concern of mine since this is no longer a $2.00 bulb replacement but an entire taillight assembly.
I was driving down the interstate a couple of weekends ago and all of a sudden my cruise control shut off and i had no throttle response. I pulled over and the engine sputtered very badly. After turning the engine on and off, i made it to my destination. When i was coming back on sunday, this preceded to happen two more times to me. Once when i was in the middle lane of a heavy traffic location. I couldn't accelerate or do anything besides break and avoid an accident, which was very close. I am lucky that no one got hurt but it became very evident that there was something wrong with the throttle in this car. After researching it more, i starting reading some of these same complaints, and the ford mechanic i took it to even said this isn't the first or even the second time he has heard of this failing on the 2010 milan. He claimed that was due to the electronic throttle bottle and believed it was from a defective unit on most units (good to know the problem except it wasn't covered under warranty, not recalled, and cost me $500). After hearing this, there is no way that this can not be recalled and fixed on every milan that has this same unit with the same serial number. I don't know if any accidents have occurred directly from this problem but i was close to one that definitely would have cost some people some lives. I am sure if this is a defective unit it will definitely cause one soon.
Approximately one year ago, while driving at highway speed on a three lane interstate, my car stalled.i was able to steer it off to the shoulder and turn off the car.it then restarted and there has been no problem since, until yesterday.driving at approx. 45 mph, the car again stalled.again, i managed to get the vehicle off to the side of the road, turned it off and then back on.i was close to home so decided to try and limp home.i did eventually make it home but with numerous stalls, slowing of traffic and even through an intersection near a busy school at bus time.i stopped traffic numerous times and was not able to accelerate beyond 10-15mph.this morning, i am told by the mechanic that the problem is the throttle body.apparently, there are no replacement parts available since many other vehicles are also in need of this part. I am home from work today, arranging for rental or courtesy cars, and i am told it will be approximately $500-600 to repair!i have owned this car for only 1-1/2 years.
Rear passenger side tail light stays illuminated even while brake paddle is engaged... Basically i have no brake lights... Also fuel recalls still hasnt been done on my vehicle.
Took car in to ford dealer for servicing per recall 15s34 on 4/27/16.dealer notified me that brake lights are; "....stuck onwhen parking lights or headlights are on -- they work if headlights are off ....".(see noughton ford aurora, co invoice #focs418452). This is a hazard!!!!!
Driving 55 mph car powers down and yellow wrench warning light goes on. Car will not accelerate. Immediately pull over to prevent from getting rear-ended. Let car sit for ten minutes and restarted. Car traveled .25 miles before powering down once again. Brought it to dealership who said it was the was electronic throttle body. 650 dollars later the problem was fixed. I see that this has affected a multitude of ford vehicles. Unfortunately, one of them was mine. Ford needs to issue a recall for this part. Someone could seriously be hurt when traveling at a high rate of speed and losing engine power.
The speedometer in this model is difficult to view, particularly in daylight, due to blue numbers against a blue background. This could be a safety concern for two reasons.first, if a driver cannot easily see the speed he/she is traveling, it could result in driving at excessive speed and resulting in a crash.second, a driver may have to take his/her eyes off the road for too long to see the speed registered, rather than just a glance. This distraction could also result in a crash.more contrast or better illumination of the instrument cluster could alleviate this concern.
In oct.2009 i purchased a 2010 mercury milan, vin [xxx] from ken stoepel ford lincoln mercury dealer in kerrville, texas.i believe that there is a safety issue with the vehicle. The instrument panel shows blue speedometer numbers which show up nicely when it is in the garage but while driving on the highway under normal daytime conditions, the numbers do not show.i have talked with a rep at ford motor co. And have also taken it to the dealer on two occasions and they say that it cannot be corrected.driving without being able to see how fast i am going is a safety hazard.the dealer's service manager admitted that others have complained of this problem and that it also presents itself on the ford f150 pickup truck and obviously on the 2010 ford fusion. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan.the contact stated that the lighting in the instrument panel would fade, making it difficult to see the gauges at night.the dealer was unsure how diagnose the failure so the vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified, but denied any assistance with the repair of the vehicle.the failure mileage was 14,797 and the current mileage was 17,000. *lj updated 2/21/12
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the instrument panel was difficult to read during the day and he did not know his speed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that there was nothing they could do. He was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were approximately 300.
I was in motion merging onto a two lane highway.i ran over two consecutive manhole covers while lightly braking to see if it was clear. But when i went to brake because it wasn't clear to merge onto the highway i had barely any brake! thankfully the car in front of me was able to merge or i would have hit him. After that i had a very soft brake pedal. Left it in a parking lot until after work. So hours later, the brakes seemed fine. But i didn't trust it. Had it towed and ford told me it was the abs hcu and ecu and that they are known for this problem. Especially after traveling on a rough roadway. I had to go back to the road the next day because i couldn't remember it being a rough road. Then i saw the two consecutive manhole covers. I ran them over in my husbands truck and sure enough, even his truck jolted from them, enough for the abs to engage. This is a horrible issue and i'm amazed that ford has not made it a recall yet! what will it take!? the repair was quite expensive. And i was out of a car for two whole weeks! it took almost a week for the part to come in. Not sure if that was the dealers bs or ford not having the parts readily available for an issue they already know exists. This has not been my first ford product but it sure may be my last!
When i was driving the car started to sputter and would not pick up speed. I took the car to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic test and gave me the codes to take to a ford dealership. The sensor switch for both rear breaks where replaced. A week later same thing happened. It is currently doing the same thing. The break system light is coming on and the control system light. Nobody seems to be able to fix it. I have been driving down the highway, on private streets when the car starts to sputter and i have to turn it off and on at least 3 times before it will pick up speed and go.
A few weeks ago, i had a hard time steering my car at an intersection. When i tried steering, the car would shake as i turned. Although the roads were wet, my tires are relatively new, so i new it wasn't the traction. I turned off the electronic steering assistance and it started turning again. A few days ago, i was turning, the roads were damp, but not wet and i had my steering assist on (it goes on by default). When i tuned, the car went the opposite way of the direction i was turning. I had to turn off my steering assist in order to regain control of my car. There were no alarms, notice or alerts on my control panel. Also, when it's been a hot day or a cold day, the car won't start.
Riding down the road and the wheel instantly locked up on me stating in the message center of the car "power steering assist fault" service power steering" service power steering now" and service advancetrac" caused a accident and now my car cause so much money to fix. I lost control because the wheel stop turning.
Driving down the road power steering was lost and control of the vehicle was lost causing to hit a curb damaging rack and pinion tie rod ends, wheels and tires and alignment.
While driving to work this morning on the highway. The power steering assist and theadvanced traction control functions both alarmed and stopped working. I was able to get to work, but now i cannot steer at all. Both warning lights are illuminated and both functions continue to not work.
There is currently a recall for abs but my vehicle is not included although it has the same issues as the other cars that are being recalled.
The brake light, abs light, and electric stabilizer lights came on, which resulted in the loss of full braking. I took the car to my mechanic; he discovered that the abs pump was leaking.i purchased a used abs pump, and after installing it, the mechanic had no success resetting the codes.he told me it could be that the part is a used one, so i ordered a new abs pump from parts maven ford.after installing the new part, the mechanic had the same issues with it as well.the mechanic is not able to clear or reset all codes for the electric stabilizer, abs, and brake lights and adequately calibrate the brakes.it left the brake very soft on the pedal, and it required pressing the brake hard to the floor to bring the car to a full stop.what's worst, when moving from the park, the car would roll forward or backward and is not stopping the vehicle as it ought to do.it takes longer to stop, and it requires pressing hard on the brake and longer distance to come to a full stop.upon further research, the mechanic found out that ford knew about the problem and had issued a recall for owners who were experiencing the same problem mentioned above to have their vehicles fix for free at a ford repair shop.i contacted ford on 10/12/20 only to be told by the ford repair shop and on an online chat with a ford rep that my car, while it's one of the vehicles listed in the recall, is not applicable due to my vin#.it is very troublesome because ford only limited the recall to some 2010 mercury milan hybrid and not to mine.it's a safety issue that they admitted to knowing about and is the only one who can fix it, yet they refuse to include my car.since i have been without the use of my car for over one month, i have no choice but to take it to a ford repair shop and get it to fix at my own expense and will follow-up with a lawsuit against ford to get my money reimbursed.
As i was driving down the street, i heard a chime noise i looked down at my dash and my car said service advancetrac and service power steering. I noticed my power steering was starting to slowly go out. As i reached my destination, and then started my car to leave, my car now said service power steering now, and serviceadvancetrac. At this point my car had no power steering at all, leaving me stranded hours from home.
Lose of power steering completely while driving on highway. Service advancetrac light comes on as it happens. I luckily avoided the car in front of me.
Intermittently, when vehicle is in motion, wrench light comes on and vehicle begins to decelerate.once vehicle is pulled over to safety, vehicle needs to be shut off.afterwards, the vehicle may be restarted and the wrench light disappears and the vehicle drives normally for a few more miles.then, the issue comes back again.to get anywhere from a to b, the vehicle will need to be pulled over to safety and shut off and restarted each time the wrench light comes on and the vehicle begins to decelerate.
Power steering failure:my power steering failed while driving and the engine light came on. Driving the car was difficult while i was on the highway with my daughter in the car.i contacted ford customer service and they are aware of all the complaints, but refuse to offer any good will program or rectify the situation. .i have 115,000 miles and i was told that the warranty was only 5 yrs. /60,000. I have read several complains on the 2010 mercury milan premier series
While my wife was driving the car, brakes felt soft and car wouldn't stop. She was in a residential area at low speeds and was able to coast to a stop. She restarted the car and everything was fine. Ford says it's due to a faulty abs module which seems to be a known issue, but no safety recall. Issue also affected traction control system and prevented hybrid from staying in ev mode when accelerating at low speeds. Ford charging over $1,200 to replace abs module.
On july 1st i was making driving on the frontage road in my 2010 mercury milan and all of a sudden my passenger tire blew out so i pulled over to check what happened and when i came back to the car "service power steering" and "service advance trac" were lit up on my dash board. We changed the tire to the spare but when we were ready to drive the steering wheel was very difficult to move side to side. Luckily a family member lived near by so we were able to take the car there but the steering wheel was still hard. The next day we went to go get a new tire to replace the spare thinking maybe it was the spare that caused the service messages to appear on the dashboard but even with the tire change the steering wheel is still not able to allow any sort of turning motion unless there is an extremely strong effort to turn it. I'm aware that this exact incident also happened to another customer. I'm also aware how there's a recall on the 2011 but not on the 2010. A recall needs to be given for this year also because i've seen many complaints about the electrical power steering and advance trac. It's not right for us to have to cough up 1000 to fix something that is a defect in the car. I still owe on this car and don't plan to just have it sitting there with no use to it and throwing money down the drain. Please investigate these incidents of power steering and advance trac on the 2010 mercury milan so we too can get the recall that we need!
This vehicle (mercury milan 2010) stalled intermittently at stop signs and traffic lights.stalling out more frequently, i notified my mechanic, who informed me, this is a current problem with ford vehicles and ford may be initiating a car recall for the hundreds of thousands of cars of which the throttle problem is occurring.i am repairing the vehicle on my own dime for our own safety, with the intention to file a reimbursement for this problem when ford (mercury) will at a later time, send a recall out for this extreme impairment to the propulsion of the vehicle.
I was driving approx 60 mph on a highway. My car "jerked" forward once, and i completely lost the ability to accelerate.after moving to the shoulder of the road, my car was shaking and difficult to put in park due to the shaking.car would start up again, but did not have the ability to accelerate except in low drive.would not accelerate except in low. Had to towed to the dealership, where the throttle body needed replaced and kam reset. This is a 2010 car, fairly new.
Power steering failure: my power steering failed while driving and the advancetrac light came on. My wife was making a turn on city street when the failure happened.we have 87000 miles
Wrench light came on and car started shaking and sputtering and would not advance and i almost got rear ended.i feel this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.also the engine light came on. Thank you
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 18v046000 (air bags). Montrose ford (3960 medina rd, fairlawn, oh 44333, (330) 666-0711) was unable to determine when the part would become available for an extended period of time. The dealer provided the option of a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was also included in field service action number: 13n03 (electronic throttle body extended coverage). The contact also stated that when the brake pedal was depressed for three days or longer, it became more difficult to stop the vehicle and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact traveled through a red light due to the failure. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in any brake system recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Advancetec warning comes on and power steering needs service comes on and the n you lose power steering . Have had rack and pinon replace and after 2 weeks it goes out again.
Driving on highway at 65mph when the service power steering light comes on and the power steering goes out with stability control. It was very hard to just keep the car in the lane of the highway not to mention to turn the car. This had happen twice before with a ford dealership resetting the sensor. This time the car went into the ford shop coming out with them having to replace the power steering unit for a cost of 1700.00 but when they reported it to carfax it was only reported as an alignment and inspection! i feel that ford knows this is an issue with this model car.
Electric throttle body issues.
Heading to work. Advance track may. Pops on. Then service power stearing. Steering wheel felt a little tight. But it was still drivable. Made it to work, once shift was over. I went to back out and the wheel wouldn't turn at all. Come to.find out this has been a big problem. On the 2010's. All.seem.to.be happong with an the last 12-18 months. Along with the previous (furl rank recall, and the current air bag recall.) this things should be taken off the road! that's too many major issues. Come on ford! i guess it will take a big accident for anything to really happen.....
Having problems with power steering and electronic stability.wet road the car would slide on curve roadsin snow the car looses power and won't barely moves rpm go down.the steering wheel won't move in reverse sometimes.tires get worn out every 4 to 6 weeks wires show to tire on the in side .steering don't lock when car is off and key out.car sales me to take key out while its in gear.and car can be shift in gear and steer when key is not in. Didn't do this when i got it.once and a while power train light comes on and its stuck in low gear.
Driving on highway when i was no longer able accelerate in my 2010 mercury milan.the car began to jerk and the throttle control/transmission light came on. I turned car off and on and then could drive a few more miles when it repeated the scenario above.i was able to drive it to dealership.it did that a total of 6 times on the way to dealership and eventually both the throttle control & the service engine soon light was on.dealership fixed my car, replacing the throttle body but charged me saying the problem was not under any warranty.
I was driving my 2010 mercury milan.i had a flat tire.now the "service the advance track" and the "service the power steering" warning message will not turn off and the car no longer has power steering.this is a recall issue on the 2011 milan.the 2010 has the identical part.why is the defect a recall on the 2011 milan and not on the 2010?it is the same defective part.
I was driving the short distance home when my vehicle began to shake back and forth. The error light came on stating that the power steering needed to be checked. When i turned off the car and turned it back on, the car no longer allowed the power steering to drive. The electric rack and pinion for my 2010 mercury milan needs to be replaced. There have been several recalls for the same problem with other mercury milans but my particular car does not have the same recall even with the same occurance.
Panel light came on,"service power steering now" while driving,had towed,reset, did the same the next day while driving. Replaced gear and pinion, next day the same problem occurred, almost had a wreck. Car has 117,000 miles.no the traction light come on. Had reset ,same problem. Advance auto had codes c1277,c1963,p1450,p0456
Wife was driving car got aural warning accompanied by service power steering, and service advancetrac sys with the skidding car symbol on dash. Complete loss of power steering. There were no prior noises/steering issue that would have lead us to believe there was a problem and thankfully there were no adverse weather conditions such as snow or ice or need to avoid a collision she could barely steer vehicle.
I was driving to work with the cruise control set at 55mph. The car suddenly lost power and throttle response. There was a wrench warning light lit up on the instrument panel.had no choice but to pull the car over to the shoulder.i turned off the car and restarted it. The wrench light disappeared and i had throttle response. I drove it 3 more miles down the highway and the car did it again. I pulled to an off ramp and took the car by city streets back home.i later took the car to my fathers shop where they hooked up a handheld 'scanner' to it and was unable to pull the wrench light code.i tooled the car back home and parked it and started driving my truck. I had my mechanic buddy bring his mac tool scanner to my house and we hooked it to the car and he was unable to pull the code. So we drove the car with the scanner hooked up and waited for the car to act up again. It acted up again on the highway. We pulled over and got a code saying the "tac is stuck open".i believe it to be a bad throttle body assembly.i researched this on google.
Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 mph, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When i got home after a few restarts i hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! it was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! after reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! a design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for ford !!! i have read too many complaints about the same problem.my car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.
I was driving to work when my 2010 mercury milan lost power. First the engine began missing and running rough, and then the engine stalled and the rpm dropped to idle speed (idling rough). The engine would not respond to the accelerator pedal. No throttle was present. The engine continued to idle (but it was a rough idle). The wrench light on the dashboard came on. I steered the car to the shoulder and turned the ignition off. After waiting a minute or so, i restarted the engine, and it started almost normally (it took a few more cranks of the starting motor for the engine to start). Then i drove to work and aside for seeming to miss from time to time, the engine ran normally. There was no wrench light visible on the dashboard.however, that afternoon, on the way home from work, the problem happened again as described above. The engine seemed to be running normally, then started missing, and stalled. The 'wrench light' came on. I pulled off the road, turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, and then re-started the engine. There was no 'wrench light' and the engine appeared to run normally. This series of events happened three more times before i was able to get the car home and park it in the driveway. This issue happened on july 9, 2013. I took the car to the dealership and was told that the electronic throttle body had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.losing power as described above while driving in traffic is extremely dangerous.
Driving down busy by pass @ about 65 mph.car started to stall out.car behind me almost hit me from behind because of this.had car checked out, it was the throttle body sensor.something about not opening and/or closing properly.....had a diagnostics done: code p2111......
The problem started almost a year ago but did not seem to occur all the time.from take off, the car would stall and then re-engage with gusto.up until the other day the car lost all power but was idling.i was able to move to the shoulder of the roadway, attempted to listen to what i heard and thought it was a bad gas issue and noticed the wrench and engine lights were on.i turned the vehicle off and then restarted to have full gas pedal response but the engine light stayed on.i proceeded down the road to the interstate but decided to get some fuel (3/8 of a tank existed) and some fuel additive.the car stopped and started without avail, as i entered the interstate 30 ramp the vehicle lost all power again.i pulled to the shoulder and repeated the previous restart.i called landers ford in benton, ar and told them the issue and would be bringing the car into the facility.not wanting to get back onto the interstate and possibly causing a wreck or traffic blockage, i drove using the outer road, the issue occurred at least twice while en-route.this is a continuing problem as my google search revealed and could be a major highway safety issue for someone living within the major areas of america.i have contacted ford, the attorney general, and the bbb.the electronic throttle body is not something that should need replacement with newer vehicles and must be a known issue because it is listed as "not covered" under the vehicle warranty!
I was driving about 45 mph and felt a jerk motion and lost engine responses to gas pedal.the check engine and the wrench lights came on. I managed to pull it over on the road shoulder and stopped engine and restarted it. I continued to drive and this happened again in 2 miles. I stopped and restarted engine and drove home carefully. I did a research online and found this might be caused by the engine throttle body issue complained by a lot of mercury 2010 owners. I called a mercury/lincoln dealer andthey asked for $800 to fix it if this was a throttle body issue. They also told me there is no recall on this problem.
Was driving vehicle to work and was only going 35 mph as i had just pulled out of my drive way.all of the sudden i lost all acceleration.it was like my car was stuck in neutral.the wrench light came on the dashboard.i pulled over, put the car in park and turned my car off.when i restarted my car a few minutes later, the wrench was gone and the problem was resolved.i called the dealer and it is going there tonight.they informed me that this is an issue with the 2010 mercury milans.they replaced the throttle body last week on the same make, model, year.as i do more research i see that this is a common problem.if that's the case, why isn't this being recalled?i am just thankful i wasn't on a busy highway and that i have the extended warranty.
The car loses acceleratingpower at random time and speeds. It has put me in a dangerous spot more than once. Car will lose power in heavy traffic. Car is currently in the shop and has a repair time of 2 to 4 weeks due to the unavailability of the part(enormous backorder).
As i was driving the car suddenly stopped and wouldn't go forward.after numerous attempts to restart itfinally would go again, but only about a quarter mile before shutting off again.i took it to a mechanic and they said it was codes p2111 and p2112 (the throttle body).
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle lost power. In addition, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The check engine and service vehicle soon warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,000.
The first incident occurred while traveling on a highway going almost 60 mph when the cruise control stopped and the car slowed and when you pushed the gas petal it did nothing. We slowed and tried to pull to the side of the road, as the car was almost to a stop it started jerking and sputtering almost dying. We put it in park and turned the engine off. We turned the engine back on and it started just fine then this same thing continued to happen every few miles. Check engine light was on so we took it in to have a computer hooked up to see what was wrong but the check engine light had turned off so they were unsure. The problem seemed to just go away for about a week and then it happened again and we got it in and hooked up to a computer and got the codes which we were informed meant we needed the throttle body replaced and it was a common problem with these cars and to contact a ford dealer. Since this last incident it has happened multiple times causing us to not be able to drive the car even a few blocks without it happening 3-4 times. We are now without a vehicle as it is not only unsafe to drive but very inconvenient to have to stop and go a million times to make a short drive. This is ridiculous and from all i have researched it a huge problem for many owners of these and similar cars! this is dangerous and should be recalled and those with issues should not be responsible for making these repairs!
First time the engine quit twice at stop signs.since then it has stalled at least five times, the last one on a freeway at 60 miles per hour during rush hour. Had the car towed to the ford dealership, they ran a diagnostic and could find no problems, no codes.they did find the battery cables were a little loose and tightened them.they adviseddriving the car and seeing if it happened again. I am talking to the dealership about this as there clearly is a problem and driving it without a repair only sets a potentially dangerous situation when the car stalls again.
The vehicle suddenly stalled while driving at highway speeds (55mph) in heavy traffic.rapid deceleration and many dashboard lights came on. I was able to change to the right lane and then bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder safely, avoiding an accident,as the car was in rapid deceleration and stepping on the gas was unresponsive. There was no acceleration, or engine noise or response when i stepped on the gas pedal while in drive position and the key in the on position.i turned the car off for several minutes, wondering what to do. I then turned the key back on, and the car was able to drive.i took side roads home and then scheduled an appointment at the selling manufacturer dealership.the defect was in the throttle body? they would not cover the $500 repair under the new vehicle warranty (out on time), the $1700 extended warranty i purchased (not covered part), the emissions warranty (not covered part) or the hybrid warranty ( not covered part), or any recall, or goodwill service plan or service bulletin repairs. Then i found out there was a settlement with the nhtsa forsimilar incidents that ford agreed to extend the warranty on the throttle body for 150,000 miles or 10 years. (this vehicle is a 2010 with just over 20,000 miles.they said it is not covered under the settlement because it a hybrid and they were not included in the settlement.i thinkthat this premature failure of an item that they will replace if defective in 150,000 miles or ten years as part of a settlement to avoid a recall and associated public disclosure,should be covered under the agreement. I have the part from the dealer. Even though there are fewer hybrids on the road as a statistic, it only takes one failure to cause a tragic result. I can send the part for investigation to determine if there were not enough suppliers and parts identified prior to the settlement.
Vehicle is randomly stalling out, check engine light on. It starts vibrating and making clunking noise. It happens randomly whether sitting at a light taking off or driving at high speeds. This car is literally falling apart and i haven't even owned it a year. I would never buy another mercury.
Initially it began as reduced power to the engine and the wrench/check engine light illuminating. However, after that, i would get surges of power to the engine and the car would jump forward. The car remained drivable, but clearly unsafe. I could not with any confidence continue to drive the car especially on the highway which i do daily.
In april of 2013 i left work and got up to 45 mph when the car jerked and then lost all power. I floored the gas and the engine did not respond. Was able to pull off the road and noticed a wrench icon light. I stopped the car and put it in park then gave it some gas with no response at all. The car was just barely idling. I shut it off and restarted it, took a few seconds longer than usual for it to start but it seemed to run fine after that and the wrench light was now off. Called the dealer and they said if it's running ok to just keep an eye on it, it might not repeat. I noticed the car would occasionally start jerking like a transmission problem.took it into the dealer on may 28, 2013 and they could not find a problem. They said it sounded like a throttle body issue but they had none in stock and were back-order.on june 7th i was driving and the car again lost all power, pulled off the road and restarted. Car started but was jerking a lot more. Next day it lost power again as i pulled away from a stop light. Pulled over again, restarted, put in gear and the throttle did not respond. I went through this for 6 restarts until the throttle would respond. This time the engine light came on and remained on until it went to the dealer today. The dealer put my name on a wait list for a new throttle body and said it would be 3-6 weeks until it came in. I am now stuck with a car i'm paying on but can not drive for 3-6 weeks.i'm lucky this didn't happen on a highway or going through a busy intersection.ford should be forced to recall these.
Driver was proceeding on i-290 in left lane at speed of 60mph with moderate traffic. The engine started misfiring and bucking without warning and the vehicle experienced a drastic reduction of speed nearly causing accident from behind since the speed reduction was without warning.the wrench light illuminated.the engine continued to decelerate and created a situation where driver could not change lanes to right and was forced to move to left shoulder.the engine completely stalled and shut off before car stopped.after 30 minutes, vehicle started and operation resumed.service department denied any problem with vehicle.3 weeks later, while traveling 55 mph on ny rte 33, the vehicle stalled again at highway speed.the engine could be restarted but only operated with very rough condition.this vehicle is unfit and unsafe to be operated on a public highway.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 30 mph and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle began to decelerate and the check engine light and throttle body control light illuminated. The failure occurred randomly. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,089.
While traveling at a speed of 70mph an heading south on i69 in my 2010 mercury milan 2.5l premier, my vehicle jerked and started shaking with my rpm's jumping from 800 to 1100.the check engine light turned on and so did the wrench light.i turned on my hazards and made my way to the side of the road.i shut off the vehicle and restarted it and the warning lights turned off.i started on the road again and at about 45 mph it did the same thing.i got off at the next exit and went to autozone to get the code pulled.it was code p2111, throttle circuit in the open position.i did a google search and found out this is an extremely dangerous and common problem with this vehicle and the mercury mariner, ford focus, and ford escape with the same engine.i called the dealership and they literally laughed at me and informed me that the throttle body is on national back order and there are currently 7,000 of these orders awaiting to be filled.the dealership also informed me that the manufacturer of the throttle body and ford are currently trying to give an updated part number which means that they are making a new part to fix this problem.this leaves me with a three year old car completely useless sitting in my driveway.this should be a recall as any car that just shuts off while you are on the freeway is extremely dangerous if you do not know what to do in that situation.
Car idle at stop sign, accelerated into highways to make a left turn, loss of power, engine accelerating, but car moving very slowly, stalled. I pulled the car over on the side of the road, and turned the engine off.when i restarted the car a few minutes later, i was able to drive home without any problem.then, a few days later, as i was on the way to flow auto in winston-salem, nc, about 6 miles from my home, the car stalled during another left hand turn from a stoplight. I purchased this car less than 3 months ago. It had 36,205 miles on it at purchase. Flow auto says the problem is the throttle drive and it isn't covered under the warranty.within 90 days of purchase, i have to pay $662 for a repair that has been reported thousands of times by owners of ford focus and mercury milan owners, since the car was produced.
The problems have occurredover the last year at low speed while accelerating,when shifting into reverse and at constant speed of 40mph.while accelerating from a full stop the car would suddenly stop accelerating for a few seconds and then lurch forward and begin to accelerate again.upon startupthe car lurched when put into reverse to exit garage. On 5/22/13 the carsuddenly went into " limpmode"while at a speed of 40mph. Ithas been diagnosed by forddealer as a throttle body problem.the throttle body is on backorder with no definitive ship date. Car cannotbe driven.
Driving down the car stalled and sputtered pulled over and it restartedfine drink half mile and did it again almost go hit by a car this tim i happen 5 months ago and i was almost rear ended was told my ford dealership that is the throttle body ford issued a extended warranty but will not replace it unless the car fails which i think is bs if my family is hurt i'll be filing suit against ford and the dealership.
Car will lose power at any giving time or speed above 40mph. You must then try to pull off road and turn off and restart. It would only do this once a week, but now it's doing multiple times a day. Dealer will not address it as a warranty problem due to fact it has over 36000 miles on it. Tried to order replacement throttle body thru them but it on back order.
Takata plus numerous other recalls:powertrain control module, "contamination on internal motor contacts of the throttle body" rear tail lights replaced, arm rest replaced as it became detached, battery replaced at 23k miles and does not hold a charge and consistently needs to be recharged.this happened at a light in a major and very busy intersection.i went and the car did not move and almost got rear-ended. It additionally over excelerated on its own. I had to get my car towed to dealer as the car died due to failed throttle.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that various warning indicators illuminated when the vehicle was started. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 127,000.
The first incident occurred when i was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and i would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before i try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third i was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened i had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once i did get it started i would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode. I was lucky to get it to the ford dealer without having to have it towed.
I was on my way back from a trip and my car stalled out multiple times. I would be going at highway speeds and it would just cut out. I was able to safely get into the service lane and restart the car with no problem, but then it would happen again. After 7 times of this happening in about an hour, i eventually pulled over and waited for a tow. I did my research and found out that this is a common issue with mercury cars in my model year due to faulty throttle body issues. Because the problem was so widespread, ford issued an extended warranty that would cover a throttle body repair for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first. Based on this information, it seemed like my car would be covered. However, after taking it to the dealership, they claimed that it would not be covered because my vin doesn't match the lists and estimated the repair at $500-$700. This is completely crazy to me because it obviously happens to cars like mine and has been fixed by the company at no cost. I believe i should also receive that benefit. I talked to the company and have lodged a formal complaint, and i will also be sending a letter because this is just not acceptable. Stalling on a highway going 70+ is dangerous and i could have been seriously injured or even killed had i been hit.
I was driving down the highway traveling at approximately 60mph when the car suddenly stalled and i was not able to accelerate. The wrench light came on at the same time as well. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. The car started to shake a lot as it slowed down. I turned the car off, and was able to start back up again. The very next morning while traveling a 50mph on a different highway the same thing happened again. I took it to the dealership to have a diagnostic run on the car as i had no idea why it was stopping. As i was about to turn into the dealership traveling at 25mph it stalled again. The result of the diagnostic test was there was a code stored in system of the electronic throttle body.it was giving a code for being stuck open when it should not have been. It was a failed component. After further internet research there is an open nhtsa investigation action number pe13003 (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13003&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true) for this exact issue. I would like my vehicle to be added to the investigation as this is a serious safety defect with my vehicle that could have caused me bodily harm or death. It needs to be addressed and the part recalled.
Electronic throttle body stuck open and vehicle went into "limp mode". I was forced to coast to the side of the road, and shut off the vehicle. After a few seconds, i restarted the vehicle, and within five minutes, the same thing happened. I have had the car parked ever since because i feel that this is unsafe, as when this occurs, i have no ability to accelerate, i just have to hope that the cars behind me are paying attention.
Intermittent electrical connectivity and issue with throttle.car has had problems since we received it in november 2010. Into walker ford clearwater 4 times recorded - 2 other times not.service department has replaced throttle body 11/12 and completed recall 13b17 (6/2014) but the same exact issues persist.service department stated at least 4 times that they cannot replicate the issue or find the issue.called customer service week of october 14, 2014 and was assigned [xxx](866-631-3788 - ext [xxx]) who we talked to at length and send a follow up email (october 16, 2014) . Called twice and not returned our calls. [xxx].said she would be back to us in a few days with a solution and have a service department prepared to fix the car.it has now been over 15 days since the original conversation.we are afraid to drive the car because,it has sudden reduction of engine power, revs into a high gear with no movement while traveling at 30-55 mph, and twice has died in the middle of intersection.same issues as described in nhtsa action number pe13003.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was pulling away from a stop sign when the car engine seemed to stall out.it was surging a bit, but would not accelerate.i was able to pull over to the curb, but could continue to feel the engine surge as i was stopping.i turned off the car and the problem seemed to resolve.i was able to drive home normally after turning off and restarting the car.
The first time this happened i was doing 60 mph on the freeway an my car lost power an would not accelerate but i could still turn an brake but the engine was stalling an shaking an the wrenchlight came one. I coasted off the road shut the car off an restarted it after a few minutes an the engine turned over for about 10 seconds before starting up an it drove fine. I took it in to the dealership an they said they couldn't do anything because they couldn't get the fault to happen so i took my car. Over the last few month it has happened multiple time but now it will stall out an the have the wrench light come one again an when i restart my car it will go about 50 feet an happen again about 7 times in a row. I have taken it to the dealership a few times an i keep getting the same answer.
Engine intermittently fails to accelerate when depressing accelerator, threw engine code p2111.this problem appears to be temporarily corrected by turning car off, then back on.this incident has occurred at both high speeds & around town driving. Also noted that the days of occurrence, the outside temperature was over 90 degrees.
While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle appeared to stall and the wrench indicator showed on the dash. The vehicle had no power and idled very rough. After pulling off the road i shut the car off and restarted it, the indicator light was still on and i had no throttle. The only way i was able to get the vehicle to move was to clear the code using a code reader. This allowed me to get the vehicle safely home. I was able to drive it to the dealer however, since i cleared the code to make the vehicle operational they would not correct the issue because their diagnostic equipment didn't see anything wrong. Even with me providing them the code that was indicated (p2112) and offering to provide them the tsb that was issued and the nhtsa #.
I was driving when all of a sudden the engine shutdown leavingme stranded. Didn't want to take any chances so had ittowed to ford garage for repair. They said it was the throttle body and it would be 200.00 for part plus labor and diagnostic charge . This is a 2010 come on ford !!! as a longtime ford owner i am very disappointed.this was the second occurrence ,the first time it started up and i was able to go on my way.
I was driving at 50 mph and pull out to pass another card accelerating to 55 mph. The car lurched and started to lose power. I thought it was temporary but it continued to decrease to 40, 30, 20 and 10 mph which i pull over to the side of the road to prevent a hazard on the highway. I called aaa for a tow which arrived about an hour later. The next morning i decided to try and start the car. The wrench light was off andit started but i did not drive it. The next day which is monday i decided i was going to chance it to take it to the dealer 30 miles away. It actually made it there and the diagnostic done by the dealer came up with no repair codes for the vehicle, subsequently, i picked it up and drove it home at the end of the day. On tuesday, it started up and one mile from the house, it clunked out again and lost power. Again i called aaa to tow me to the dealer. I guess because it was a recent occurrence, the code showed up in the diagnostic so they claim it is fixed by replacing the throttle body assembly. It has driven well for one day and i hope it continues. Is this basis for a recall. Please advise.
I purchased a 2010 mercury milan in dec of 2012 with 26000 miles. A few weeks after i purchased this vehicle the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealer and the code that came up was emissions. They replaced the car battery and supposedly checked and there was nothing else wrong with the car. All they ever ask me is do i always go to the same gas station or if it happens after i get gas at which i answered no. It's now been less then a year since i purchased the car and the light has come back on 5 times. I'm sure if i took the car in as soon as the light came on it would be more times but i don't always have the time and schedule and they don't always have a loaner right away so at times it takes me over a month to take it in. This is a hassle and all i get told is that they can't find anything and they reset the light but it always seems to come back on. I don't know what to do and at this point i'm thinking if looking into lemon law. Has anyone else ever had this problem? i had a 2007 mercury milan in the past and i never had this problem.
At dusk on saturday september14,2013 travelingnorth bound on 6 lane interstate i-55 in far left lane at 67 mph with cruise control on the car began to slow rpm returned to idling speed under 800 rpm and was unresponsive to accelerator pressure. The traffic was heavy and i was lucky to be able to move across lanes and reach the shoulder before car had slowed to 5 mph.the wrench light came on. Shut off the car restarted it and accelerator was responsive began to accelerate to merge back on to highway and again lost power. Shut off car again and acceleratingvery slowly was able to reach an exit about 1 mile away before car again lost power.called for a tow back home as vehicle was unsafe.car taken to dealership september 16th for repair and the throttle body needed to be replaced.i learned on line that this seems to be a common problem with certain ford and mercury products but there has been no recallto fix this defective part which puts the driver and passenger in grave danger when the throttle body malfunctions .luckily i was in a fairly populated area and cell phone service was available. I fear what could have happened if traffic had been even heavier or been in a more remote area. These products should be recalled as they present a serious safety issues for drivers.
First time this happened i was pull out into a 4 lane road and the car just shook and had no power. 2nd time i was going 70 on highway and the car lost all power. Almost had semi in rear end. 3rd time i was on side street at 4 way stop. Car lost all power after going. All times the wrench light came on then the engine light. Had 2 mechanics look at it and said bad throttle. This is an expensive part not cover any longer. Seen all complaints on it. Should be recalled dangerous.*ln
Stalls (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and the check engine warning light illuminated. The failure occurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I was driving approximately 50 mph. The car began to slow down, and itjerked and hesitated and began to decelerate as it continued the jerking and hesitation. The carwould not respond to the accelerator at all. Continued to jerk and slow down and the engine and transmission were not functioning properly. I pulled in to a gas station and stopped the car.
Third time taking my car in, cause the check engine light & wrench light comes on. Keep getting code po455, po457 and now p2119. I just went in less then 3 mths ago and had the throttle body pcm calibration update, bam starting again. It is very scary to go down the road and lose power or while driving give it gas & it jerks. 2010 milan
Driving 2 weeks ago, going 45 mph and the accelerator stopped working. Engine was running and i could still safely pull it over to the side of the road.i turned the vehicle off and then back on and it worked again.since there were many areas of non-safe roads to pull over, i decided to have it towed home. It has driven fine ever since, until today, going 55mph, on the interstate, accelerator stops working.i safely pulled over, turned off and restarted engine.i safely drove to my nearest ford dealership where they say it is the throttle sensor.why is this not eligible for recall yet as i read these many, many pages of posts on the same thing? i have to wait until november for the part as it is on backorder. No safe car to drive until then.
While driving 50 mph on a highway, the vehicle suddenly without warning loss all propulsion and started to sputter violently. I noticed the "wrench" light indicator was illuminated and luckily coasted with no propulsion to a safe area on the highway shoulder to pull over. I shut the engine off for a minute and restarted vehicle as normal and no "indicator light" had illuminated. The vehicle appeared to be operating as normal at this point. Later i had the codes pulled for the incident on my vehicle and was told it indicated a throttle body failure. This occurred 3 times over the last several weeks. After doing a search on the internet, i found numerous incidents of the exact same description i have here. There must be an inherent defect of the part used in these vehicles.
I've had multiple issues with the milan throttle body for over a year.everytime i take it to the dealer they say the computer just needs reprogrammed.after i leave the dealership my car usually has a hard failure just like it did before (loss of power, engine running rough, car rolls to a stop).i can completely turn the car off and turn back on and it runs fine again for a while and then does it all over again.the dealership will only keep reprogramming the computer.they have also replaced the throttle body 2 times but after about 100 miles it starts all over again.ford has refused to do anything other than what the dealership can find which is only what the codes say (reprogram computer or replace throttle body).i'm not going to keep taking my car in every week to get reprogrammed.ford has refused to give me a loaner car to use until they fix it.i've taken multiple days off work and arranged for other transportation for the previous work.however, enough is enough.i can't keep taking my car back for some that ford knows needs fixed.this is clearly a significant safety issue.i travel a lot on highways and interstates and when i lose power i've had some close calls will accidents (re ended) and trying to get to a shoulder to pull off and restart car.i can no longer use my car to drive my kids around due to the safety concerns of being hit during a failure or stranded. I've made this known very clearly to ford but they don't seem to care. If they do they are not acting on it. I would hate for something terrible to happen before they fix it.i'm not only concerned for my family but others that may be having similar issues with their car.all i'm asking for is for ford to recognize this is a very real and serious safety concern.they need to look a little deeper at the issue. I just want a safe car to drive until they can fix it.
I was first in line at a red light on a 2-lane highway.when the light turned green, i accelerated and halfway through the intersection the car "lurched" and lost power.the car didn't die but there was no response in the gas pedal and a wrench symbol appeared in the dash.i made it through the intersection and to the shoulder at idle speed (with a line of cars behind me). I put the car in park and turned it off for a minute.it restarted ok, the wrench was gone and the car ran fine.i considered it a fluke until a week later when the same thing happened, except that i was traveling at 70 mph in the inside lane of the same highway. Luckily there was room to change lanes while decelerating and i pulled to the shoulder.again, it restarted fine after i turned it off, and the wrench was gone.i took the car for service at a ford dealer because losing power in traffic is a very dangerous situation and who knows when and where it might happen again.the tech found a problem with the throttle body and replaced it at a cost of about $350 parts/labor.of course, we are just outside of the warranty period at 41,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while accelerating, the limp mode system engaged as the vehicle stalled. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic for a diagnostic test. The test results did not show any defect codes. The contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure mileage was 63,000.
I was on fl turnpike at 70 mph,traffic very heavy .i lost power and had to coast to the shoulder from left lane . Almost got ran over ,but thank god i didn't .i cut the motor off.restarted it .i got my speed up to 70mph .it surged a few times .ran ok too home . This could be a life or death thing . I wonder if anyone has been hurt because of this . I will call ford today and get it fixed .
#1:shortly after purchasing the milan the car began to just shut down while i was driving. I would have to coast to the side of the road, wait a few minutes & then it would restart. I again had it taken to the service center and they had to replace the throttle body. Now i am having this same problem again. This problem has began again. I again took it to the service center & they couldn't fix anything because they said that they couldn't get the car to mimic the problem.i have 2 young children and during one of the failures i was traveling on a rural country road with nowhere to pull off due to stone mountains on each side of the road. I had to wait in the middle of the road a few minutes until the car would cooperate and start again. This a serious safety issue. We all could've been killed and nobody would ever be able to figure out what happened because according to these technicians the car is fine. It needs to be known that the car is not fine and is dangerous to the drivers and other individuals on the road alongside these cars. #2:also, shortly after purchasing the milan i was having trouble getting it started in the morning. The car would simply not start, wouldn't even try to turn over, the message board would say service advance trac the other electrical components in the car worked fine, the car couldn't be "jumped" either. After a few hours it would start up fine. Took the car to the service center and they reprogrammed the keys and now a year later i am having the same problem. Since the center states they cannot get the car to mimic this problem when the car is at the center they haven't fixed anything. At least once a week i have this happen and have to use an alternate means of transportation.my car now has 38,000 miles on it but these problems have been happening since about 24000. Help ford adopt some of the aspects of "our credo values" by j&j!
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power and a wrench symbol illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Shortly after purchase, vehicle would 'stumble' at highway speeds (40-65). Power would recover and continue. Problem seemed to occur more often in hot weather and seemed less frequent in cooler (winter) weather. Dealer could not duplicate but performed recall 10b15c.problem worsened with loss of power without warning at anywhere between 35 - 65mph with 'wrench' appearing on display. Shutting car off and restart after a couple/few minutes returns power with no illumination of wrench or engine symbol. Power loss now occurring on each trip and has occurred repeatedly within short time (minutes) of first failure. If engine dies repeatedly, engine symbol illuminates and codes p2111 and p0685 have been found. Engine now dies both at highway speeds and at idle. Researched web for codes and found that throttle body is a likely problem.contacted dealer(s) who stated any repairs would be at customer's expense.
While driving on the freeway at 55mph the orange wrench symbol lit up on the dashboard and the car started to lose power.the engine kept running, but there was no response when i pushed on the gas pedal.i was able to coast to the side of the road. I turned the car off for 5 minutes and then restarted it and the power returned enough to get me to a ford dealer.
On june 1 the vehicle got stuck at 4 rpm's while driving on a highway and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle did not respond.a week later the vehicle again did not accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed while attempting to enter a highway. The vehicle sputtered and stalled out. Vehicle was turned off and back on with no other problems.on june 18 the vehicle sputtered & stalled leaving a parking lot.the vehicle was turned off and restarted 4 times, but this time the vehicle would not respond when accelerator was pressed.each time accelerator was pressed it sputtered and died. Vehicle was towed from the scene and problem was diagnosed as a throttle body failure.
The car stalled on the highway, started up. About a mile later it stalled again...no warning lights came on... Then combusted into flames and burnt to the ground.*dt*as*dt
Driving freeway at 77 mph when vehicle suddenly started slowing down. Managed to get car over to shoulder of road and tried to get off ramp but wouldn't make it. No lights came on and felt like it was still running at idle. Stepped on gas but wouldn't accelerate in drive or park. Shut vehicle off and started twice before i could get response from stepping on gas. Then took off like nothing wrong. Very dangerous and lucky traffic was light. Had one other incident with car doing same thing but was sitting at traffic light.
Wrench light came on and car started shaking and sputtering and would not advance and i almost got rear ended.i feel this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.also the engine light came on. Thank you
While driving the wrench indicator came on. The engine was still running but the gas pedal didn't change the rpms.coasted to the shoulder and turned the car off and back on. Restarted normally.the car did this six times in two weeks. Replaced the fuel injector throttle body and the problem has not returned.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving approximately 45 mph, the throttle indicator light illuminated and the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power. The vehicle was not able to be restarted and had to be towed to the dealer. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
As i entered the freeway at 60 mph begin to stall and then losing power i put my flashers on hoping i don't get run over the car stops no power to steer and i'm at the mercy of speeding vehicles. I'm on a fixed income.and do not have the funds. I purchased the vehicle from town east ford mesquite texas.
I was on my way to work and got on the freeway and as i accelerated to the flow of traffic, the car started splutting and i was in the middle lane with a truck close behind me and cars on each side.the speed started to decrease as i pushed on the gas petal with nothing happening. It was as though it ran out of gas and the console lights came on. I panic and tried to work my way to the side of the road.i was able to get over after the truck barely missed pitting me and coasted til the car slowed down and turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started because i knew that it wasn't out of gas, i had a full tank.there was no check engine light on at that time either.i preceded to get back on the freeway and got up to 50 mph and went to the nearest exit and my car repeated the same thing, this time with a jerking motion..that when the check engine light came on.i moved the car to a safer area and called to get it towed.it was place on the a machine that read p2111 and p2112. The auto shop informed me that it was the throttle body.
Surging of engine while pulling into driveway to park. Surging has happened intermittently. Most recently, 2/27/2013. While traveling approx. 20 mph, brakes failed and surge occurred. L turn off engine put it in park, waited a minute and restarted engine,proceeding home without incident. Total occurrences--6 times since purchase. Dean arbor ford alpena mi replaced air mass sensor, front brakes and air filter 2/28/2013......$596
On april 19, 2013, i had one incident where my car lost power with no warning.i was going approximately 40 mph.i suddenly realized i had no power and noticed that the wrench light and other lights came on.i was able to steer the car off the road.i had to turn it off and then restart it.i took the car to the dealer service dept but they said they couldn't find anything.it seemed to run rougher for the next month but didn't stall again until may 16.at that time i was going approximately 30 mph.on may 17 it stalled two times while going 70 mph on the interstate.on may 19 it stalled one time while going 60 mph so i parked the car for the weekend.i called the dealer and had to drive over an hour to the dealer.it stalled three times on the way to the dealer.i drove with my flashers on the entire time because i was terrified that i was going to be in an accident or worse.my dealer has determined that it is the throttle body.my car has been stuck in the shop since may 20 waiting for the part that is on nationwide indefinite back order and there is no fix date in sight.my car is not drivable and i am just thankful that i haven't had an accident or been killed because of this problem.i have lost confidence in my car which i was so happy with.i also am paying on a car that i can't even drive.
Driving 65 mph on highway and car lost all power and yellow wrench light illuminated on dash.with car in limp mode pulled over to service lane. Car towed to local ford dealer.dealer replaced defective battery but found no codes stored in computer. Dealer test drove vehicle and reported no problem. Three days later same incident (loss of power and wrench light). Shut vehicle off and restarted it and engine had normal power l with wrench light extinguished.drove vehicle to local ford dealer and left it there for more diagnostics and repair.very dangerous condition and feeling for all engine power to be gone unexpectedly.
I was driving my car with three children in the backseat at 65 miles per hour.when the car goes into limp mode while crossing a highway with on coming traffic. This could of killed my kids and myself and possibly someone else. This is the worst car i have ever bought. Very upset
Electric throttle body issues.
Driving down rural highway traveling at 58mph and suddenly lost all power and car started bucking.able to pull off and coast to stop.rough idling. Wrench light came on when this happened.turned off car and restarted 5 min later.wrench light went out.proceed to drive and approached 58 again incident happened again.same symptoms but now engine light came on.turned off car and waited over 15 min. To restart.restarted and wrench light went out but engine light remained on.able to drive home on shoulders at speeds not above 40 mph.called dealership and not covered under drivetrain/emissions standard manufactures warranty.need to diagnose it in shop at labor rates. No money.
On at least 4 separate occasions, we were driving (two times going about 60 mph, the other two times about 30 mph) and the engine seemed to seize up or would lose acceleration. The wrench light comes on each time and we are not able to accelerate. We had to coast to the side of the road (extremely dangerous on busy highways to get over to the side of the road with no power). Once to the side of the road, we turned the car off and waited a couple of minutes. Once we turned the car back on, it seemed to work properly again. We took the car to a ford dealership to have them look at it. The error code did not register so did not know what to fix.
I have owned this vehicle for the past year and a half. There have been times when initially putting the vehicle into drive or reverse, that i would notice a surge, but nothing more than that. And nothing i thought anymore about. Yesterday the car drove a couple of blocks normally, then started the same surging but this time the surging did not stop and i had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer. They told me the throttle body was stuck open and it has to be replaced.
While driving on interstate at 70 miles per hour, the car jerked and the car immediately decelerated. The throttle warning light came on and we had to maneuver through multiple lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder.the car was idling very rough.parked the car and turned off the ignition.restarted the car and it ran fine for 2 days, when it occurred again, this time we were driving at 40 miles per hour.it has since occurred 5 more times, mostly at highway speeds, during rush hour.this has occurred both with the air conditioner running and when it was off.we have come very close to being rear-ended multiple times,we were not in safe situations and this is our only vehicle.i am unable to afford a rental car and the dealership will not provide us with a safe vehicle.
I purchased my 2010 mercury milan last year in july 2013. This weekend i started having an issue with a loud thumping sound coming from under the hood, on ignition,gear changing and acceleration.took it to the dealer today and was informed that my subframe is completely broken. It was never welded, which i wasalsoinformed that it should have been. Meaning this was an issue before i purchased my vehicle.my engine has moved 2 inches forward, the technician moved my engine with his bare hand back and forward.both of my front wheel axles are broken due to the pressure of the engine not being secured with this subframe. I'm not really great with car repairs knowledge, but even i know this is a major issue.i bought the extended warranty with my car during purchase and they won't pay for the repair. I was quoted $600 for parts and $624 for labor.not including my wheel axles that have to be repaired due to this issue.i have contacted the bbb and the vp of the dealer, concerning this issue.the dealer was supposed to do a complete inspection of my vehicle and they did not. They say they stand by their inspections and guarantee. Not this time!! it's not fair for me to pay for this repair but if i don't,i won't have a vehicle to drive. Ford has to do something.this is their negligence and this issue could have caused a serious safety issue for me and my family. I will update this post asi find out more information from the dealership. If you are having this issue or had this issue, please join me, in filing a complaint. Someone could lose their life because ford refuses to acknowledge this manufacturer issue. If anyone can offer any kind of advice as in where or who to contact please respond with the information.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
The engine suddenly lost power.a engine and wrench icon showed up on the dash lights.i had to coast to the side of the road on 4 occasions.when i shut off the engine and started it up again, it ran fine again.this would be an extremely dangerous situation if this occurred when i was making a left turn with oncoming traffic.i took my vehicle into o'meara ford at 7:00 a.m. On october 13, 2014.they indicated they were looking at the throttle body and would need to keep my vehicle overnight.
Car looses all power engine shutters and sputters very dangerous! throttle body code came up with my mechanic took it to ford dealership they will not replace it i'm scared to drive it now . Has happened 6 times this past month ford told me a wheel speed sensor was at fault that has been fixed with no improvement of car basically shutting down ..limp mode for safety ??? ford ! you drive this car 70mph on the highway when limp mode igages pretty scary !! your going to kill people !
Driving to work one morning my car appeared to stall without warning on the incline of a viaduct. It slowed dramatically without me braking, so there were no brake lights to warn other drivers. I was fortunate the driver behind me was paying attention and did not run into me. I made an emergency maneuver to get off the road, and called aaa for a tow. While on hold with aaa, i restarted my car. It appeared to be working normally, so i went to work without incident.later in the day my car seemed to stall again on the way to lunch. This was in a remote area with no other traffic. Again it restarted, and worked fine on my return to work.while driving home it happened a third time in a construction zone. I had to pull over near huge rollers that were leveling newly laid asphalt. Luckily it started again and i merged back into construction traffic and drove home.i called the ford dealer i bought the car from. They told me over the phone it sounded like another bad throttle body. I got a ride to work the next day, and took it in as soon as i could get an appointment. The ford dealer replaced the throttle body, and i have had no problems since.
I was driving on a highway, felt a jerk in the engine, and was no longer able to accelerate. The engine continued to run and all electrical components (lights, radio, etc.) were operational, but the car would only decrease speed so i stopped the car on the shoulder. I noticed that the engine stuttered considerably while idling and would not respond to the throttle. The wrench warning light was illuminated on the dashboard. I shut the engine off and called for a tow truck. The tow truck driver arrived after 20 minutes and was able to drive the car onto the flatbed. Some ability to drive forward had returned but i was wary. I had the car transported to a ford dealership and the service technician identified the throttle body as the culprit ($425 to repair). I've learned subsequent to my experience that this problem is quite common with 2009 - 2011 mercury milans. The throttle body repair is covered for 2 years. I'm concerned that this problem may repeat.
When driving the vehicle a wrench emblem appeared on my dash warning panel.this has happened twice before. In the last instance the vehicle then dropped speed from 45 mph to 5 mph and ran very roughly.i then pulled the vehicle to the curb and turned off the engine. I restarted the engine then drove home with no issue. I checked my owners manual and found the indicator was a throttle linkage malfunction. I brought the vehicle to a ford service center. They replaced my battery but this did not alleviate the issue. Luckily for me there was little to no traffic when this problem occurred as without warning my vehicle lost power.i checked if there was a recall for this issue but found none. To me this is a safety issue that should be addressed.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled as the wrench warning icon illuminated. The contact merged to the shoulder and shut off the engine momentarily. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 60,000.
Driving on freeway at 70 miles per hour. Car lost power, the wrench symbol lit up on the dash, however ignition did not turn off. I shut off the ignition and when i restarted the car the wrench symbol was not lit up any more and the car was normal again.this has happened again 2 days ago.
At highway speeds the vehicle would have a total loss of power forcing a pull over and shutting car down waiting and restarting.the maintenance symbol(wrench) would go away and car will run smooth till next occurrence.found out that there have been electronic throttle body failures resulting in engine stall and or surge while driving.these ford vehicles are also having multiple led tail light failures due to defect.400.00 a piece for whole lens is only way to replace defective lamp.
While driving home from work on the highway at 65mph my car just stopped throttling and lost power dropping me to like 5mph the lil wrench light came on on the left then went off yet i still had no power. So i immediately turned on the hazzard lights and tried to make it to the side of the road through traffic and turned the car off after a few minutes i tried to start the car and it came on like normal to my surprise so i started to drive only to have it happen again and again before making it home. I literally just purchased the car 2 months prior and its been at the dealership, as they try to talk to ford about the problem and how to get it corrected for the past month!
I was traveling at 65mph on the freeway when the wrench emblem went on my dashboard and i lost acceleration. I had the gas peddle pushed to the floor but there was no power. I pulled off the road and turned the car off and restarted it. I was able to get off the freeway and home. I have read several similar accounts and am surprised that ford has not had a recall due to this issue. Does someone have to die before ford will pay attention to this defect?
Immediately after entering a main highway, the engine seemed to die yet idled around 1000 rpm.the dash lights came on, the engine sputtered, but wouldn't increase speed and vehicle wouldn't move more than 2 or 3 miles per hour.after getting it off road and turning ignition off for a couple of minutes, it started and drove fine.
Rear passenger side tail light stays illuminated even while brake paddle is engaged... Basically i have no brake lights... Also fuel recalls still hasnt been done on my vehicle.
Driving about 40-50mph in traffic, the car suddenly jerked, felt like a hard gear-shift. The green wrench light & orange engine light came on and the throttle was unresponsive. The car still had power but no acceleration, engine sputtered, had to pull off the road while coasting, car was idling very rough so was shutdown. I was able to restart it but the problem recurred four times the next two days. Stopped at advance auto parts since it was early evening, they pulled dtc p2111 "throttle actuator control system stuck open" from car's computer and he says the throttle value is sticking. Scheduled service at world ford dealership where car was purchased just four months prior. I was told the throttle body needed replacing "this is very common, we replace them all the time" he said. I purchased a powertrain extended warranty with the car that states it covers the "throttle valve" among its covered parts but the service man first says that's different than the "throttle body" (my understanding is the throttle valve is the plate inside the throttle body that opens/closes controlling airflow to the manifold, it that is "stuck open", it should be covered). He then says he doesn't even know what a "throttle value" is and says it will cost approx $350 to repair. They obviously know this is a problem and are taking advantage of their customers replacing the faulty parts.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the engine stalled without warning while driving 55 mph. The failure was experienced several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure and a diagnostic as performed.the dealer replaced the throttle body actuator assembly however, the failure was not corrected. The vehicle later stalled while the contact was driving 55 mph with the illumination of the wrench warning icon. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 79,500.
Driving approximately 30 mph, the car coasted to a stop and the wrench showed on the dashboard.waited a short while, restarted and it was okay.did notice some lurching and the car felt like it was in the wrong gear, prior to the second incident on 10/07/20.driving through an intersection at 30 mph, wrench showed on dashboard and car slowed to a crawl.i had to make it through the busy intersection and off ramp from a highway in order to safely get the car off the road.i could have been rear-ended both times, to say nothing about the fear of your car just conking out in the dark at 5:30am.the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty expired may 27, 2013... And my current mileage is 35,581 miles!!!!!!!!!!111 days over the months and 419 miles under the warranty.... So, i am paying around $300+ to have this fixed.with all the exact complaints as happened to others, i am surprised ford did not send a notice to owners to get it fixed or face the potential of being involved in a crash...thank you.
Passing another vehicle when my car suddenly stalled. If it wasn't for the quick thinking of the car i was passing, who sped up, i would have not had time to pull back into my lane in time to avoid a collision with an oncoming car. I had to pull off the road and put the car in park and restart it. It ran fine after that. Unfortunately, this stalling and rough running has happened on several occasions. From what i have read, it looks to be a problem with the throttle body. As you can see, this can be very dangerous when it happens at the wrong time. I never know when it will happen as there is no warning.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 70 mph, there was a reduction in engine power and the service repair and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. After restarting the vehicle, it was only able to be driven for a short distance. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 69,953.
On august 30th, 2013, the vehicle engine would not run over 2000 rpm during a drive at 40 mph no matter how hard push the gas paddle. After pushed the brake, slowed down and stopped the vehicle, engine still would not run over 2000 rpm. Then i put the shift in parking, turn off engine (using key), restart it, the engine had choke sound and would not run over 1500 rpm. After that a gentle man helped me to park my car in his driveway. I called the dealership and had the tow truck towed the vehicle. When the incident happened, it had me, my wife and 2 children in the car, and happened when i drove the vehicle across the railroad cross. After 4 days including weekends, the dealership target the problem is the throttle body assembly.
While accelerating, the car began to jerk violently and came to a stop, and shut off. The car was unable to run or idle. It was towed to a ford dealership where they diagnosed a failed throttle body and it was replaced. I was on a residential road so no injuries, had i been on the highway, things would have been different.
While driving down a straight stretch of road at a steady 45 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and the engine dropped to idle. Accelerator did not have any effect on engine rpm. Coasted to side of road and stopped. Proceeded to turn off vehicle and restart, accelerator response returned to normal.
While commuting to work on the highway, the engine started bucking and hesitating, then went into an idle. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, shut the engine off for about 20 seconds. When i restarted it, it took longer to actually start. I drove for another 5 minutes and it happened again. This time i pulled over, turned the engine off and waited a couple minutes before restarting. I was able to drive to the dealer on side roads at no more than 35 mph without another incident. The mechanic told me the throttle body needed to be replaced and it is on backorder until mid-july - 5 weeks away! furthermore, since it is not on recall, they won't pay for a loaner.
I was traveling at a high rate of speed (70mph) when my engine began to "stall out" on me causing a rapid deceleration. I would say it stalled, but it did not 100% cutout, rather it went into thelowest limp mode on the engine. Luckily, since it was a busy time of night (approximately 6pm), i was in the right hand land and was able to pull off before being rear ended...though it would almost inevitably happened had i been in any other lane. I was near an exit and coasted slowly in the limp mode and made it to a parking lot, where i turned off my car and popped the hood to examine the issue further. The oil was within range and belts were ok. Just as i was finishing the coasting, i saw the "wrench" light illuminate. After checking the engine, i was able to re-start my car and drive home without incident. I looked up the issue online & found many others with the same issue.i ordered oem replacement parts that took about a week to arrive.over the course of that week, the issue occurred several more times and happened more and more frequently.i avoided highways altogether for safety concerns.i contacted ford who told me i could have it repaired at my cost at a dealership (since i was a few thousand over the powertrain warranty).i bought oem parts & did the repair myself and the issue has not happened again since.this is the exact issue listed in nhtsa action number: pe13003.
Engine goes limp. Throttle body control light comes on. Ford has replaced the throttle body control twice and the problem keeps coming back. Ford will not consider any other problems and keeps wanting to replace the throttle body control. Most often happens when in reverse going up a hill. If i place the car in park and turn off the engine, then re-start, the engine is no longer limp. Thisproblem has occurred over 6 months, multiple(>20) times.
While driving on a country road at 50 mph on mon. May 27th, the car seemed to stall, the gas pedal didn't work & we had to pull over asap. After stopping & restarting the car, we were able to proceed home.at the time, i thought it was a fluke.then on may 30th it happened again on my street going around 30 mph, so i called the dealer and they said i could come in the next day. Later that same day, i was in rush hour traffic on rt 22(busy highway) & it happened while i was going 60 in the left lane,this was very scary as it was difficult to get over to the shoulder with so much traffic.i took my car to the ford dealer on friday may 31st & they said there were no alerts on the car, that they would do a software upgrade that would hopefully fix the issue.the receipt they gave me listed that a throttle body was needed, & it was on back order. I have been trying to minimize using the car, but on june 15th i had to go to my niece and nephew's dance recital in south nj. While driving home on 295 (major highway) going around 65 the car died again.i was able to proceed after restarting the car, but didn't make it home again without it happening another time. I was making a left turn at an intersection light and the engine died. Thank god it wasn't a wider intersection or i would not have been able to coast through.at this point this car is unusable and is a death trap waiting to happen.i called another dealer, and the part is on back order there as well. This is clearly a major problem with defective throttle bodies in the 2010 milan that should be recalled, i would like to know how this problem will be rectified.the proof is in the fact that they cannot make the part fast enough to fix the broken cars.the two dealers i dealt with are aware of this widespread problem, obviously due to a manufacturing defect with the throttle body assembly. I have <60k miles.
Driving my 2010 milan at a speed of 50mph, i felt a sudden shake and loss of engine power. The car slowed down and i was able to get to the side of the road after slowing down one way traffic behind me. The engine & wrench light came on and felt like the car was going to automatically shut off, i quickly turned off my ignition.i waited 10 mins and the car started, made it almost to my house until it gave out on me again, and again.i called the dealership where i purchased the car 7 mo ago (used), and they said to bring it in. I had previously complained to the dealer after 2 days of purchase that the car was vibrating, which they looked at it and said it was ok. Im surprised they didn't pay attention to this the first time around.i will be bringing my car to my mechanic to have it checked. Not sure what he will say or find, but i will update this info.i hope the manufacturer will read this info and see that there is obvious a big problem with this.too many complaints, now something has to be done!i don't feel safe in my own car now...
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the fuel inlet and check engine warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline), which she received. The vehicle was serviced by holman ford (3641 nj-42, turnersville, nj 08012,888-449-0296), but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and stated that nothing could be done since the vehicle had already been serviced. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
Stalled three times, without warning, while traveling at 50 mph.almost rear ended each time.vehicle 38 month old and less then 34,000 miles.replace throttle body.please have ford check into this before someone gets hurt.
I was driving on the interstate at 72 miles per hourin my 2010 mercury milan when the car lost all power.i was able to coast to the shoulder without interfering with other traffic. It was very frightening and i was very fortunate that traffic was not close and i was able to maneuver off the road safely. Since this first episode my mercury milan has done this another 3 times.
I was in the middle of making a left turn, when my engine suddenly stalled. I lost all acceleration in the middle of my turn, while oncoming traffic was approaching. My check engine light came on with code p2112. I had to pull over, shut the car completely off, and it was fine for only a few more miles. The problem is ongoing and the vehicle is not safe to drive on a highway. Intermittently, at speeds of 30 mph and higher, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and showed signs of throttle body failure. The consumer stated all the symptoms he experienced, were consistent with the nhtsa action number pe13003. Also, the brake lights did not activate, when applied. Updated 11/05/13
While driving on the highway 60 mph without warning the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I had no engine control. Was able to shift into neutral and pull over safely onto the shoulder without being rear ended. Engine exhibited rough idle approximately 800 to 900 rpm. The car was in a limp mode.the gas pedal had no effect. Turned the ignition off and restarted the vehicle wrench light turned off and was able to drive the vehicle normally for 5 miles before the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I was able to drive the car home. Connected a scan tool to the obd and no codes were present. The following day driving with the scan tool connected at 40 mph the same symptoms occurred. The scan tool registered code p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. Fortunately i was able to pull safely. Mentioned the issue to the local lincoln dealer and was told this is a common problem with this vehicle and the throttle body assembly needs to be replaced. Was told that the part in on national back order and is not available. This is not acceptable. The problem occurred 6 times within a 10 day period. This car is not safe to drive. The vehicle should be recalled without hesitation and the safety issue resolved.
While commuting to work the engine suddenly lost all power while traveling approx 50mph on rt 9a in ossining ny. Fortunately i was in thr right lane but did not have enough time or momentum to completely pull off the road. A state farm sponsored help truck arrived anf pushed me to the side. At my husband's suggestion he looked to see if leaves had clogged the intake/air filter. It did not . Then he disconnected the hose to the throttle valve and when he pushed it with the screwdriver the engine regained power. I turned around to try and meet my husband at a midway point. The engine shut down again but after restarting, it regained power. I switched cars with my husband and he sprayed the throttle valve with carburetor cleaner and headed home. The car stalled out on him but he was able to roll into a gas/convenience store in garrison ny and sprayed it again. Once home in cold spring he cleaned out the assembly as good as he could and the car worked well for the next 2 weeks. While visiting hungary for a family illness, my son used the car and reported that it began to stall out on him but unstuck? and he was able to return home. The car was brought to freedom ford in beacon ny this morning for repair since it is not safe to drive in nyc commuter traffic.
Throttle body defect --the problem began july 14 and happened several times.it was finally fixed by july 31.the vehicle began to lose power, mostly after stopping at an intersection and making a turn to the right or left.it happened once while driving straight and slowing down for a school zone.in most cases, i was able to coast to the side of the road, turn off the car, and restart.the wrench light came on in each incident.thankfully, i did not have to go onto a highway before i was able to get the car to the dealer for repair.after they figured out what was wrong, it took about 2 weeks to get the part.it was very frightening for the car to stop in the middle of an intersection, especially when turning left!this is a potentially very dangerous defect, and these cars should be recalled so that the company is responsible for the repair.most of my driving is done at village speed limits of 25 to 30 mph.even at those speeds, it is very frightening for the car to suddenly stop in the middle of an intersection.i am still very hesitant to take the car out on the highway.even after repair, it sometimes feels like it hesitates and might lose power.
Stalls (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges.
I was driving on the highway going about 70mph when my car jolted. Then from there it decelerated very fast. I pushed on the gas and nothing it felt like it was in neutral with nothing happening. I quickly was able to get into the breakdown lane but due to being in the high speed lane i almost got hit by 2 cars. As i pulled over it felt like the car was about to stall. I shut the car off and waited. I turned it back on and it drove fine. About 2 months ago i had stopped at a stop sign and when i went to drive my car again felt like it was in neutral no matter how much i pressed on the gas it did not go anywhere... Even though it was in the drive gear. I shut it off and turned it on and it was fine. My car feels like it hesitates and bucks sometimes when i am driving also. This seems extremely dangerous seeing as i was almost in an accident yesterday on the highway. I was told i needed to see if my vin was part of the campaign recall to get this fixed. I will say if i find out its not part of the recall even though its listed in it theni will never by a ford or mercury every again because it shows they could care less about how dangerous something is and its fords fault no fault of mine!
While at highway speed using cruise control on a slight upgrade, engine suddenly lost power and returned to idle and wrench warning light illuminated.after stopping, it was noted that engine was still running at idle but there was no throttle control.after ignition was shut off for a few minutes, vehicle was restarted and throttle control was found to be normal.dealer diagnosed likely problem as throttle body, which would be covered under drivetrain warranty but ford subsequently advised it was not covered.further, owner was advised part was on indefinite nation-wide back-order with no known availability date but that vehicle was drivable in the meantime with the risk that problem could recur with increasing frequency.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred on separate occasions. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000. Updated 10/29/13the consumer stated the vehicle would unexpectedly stall and showed signs of throttle body failure.all the symptoms he experienced were consistent with nhtsa number pe13003. Updated 11/12/13
While driving 50mph going up a hill the car lost all power and the wrench symbol came on. Got pulled over to the side of the road after almost being hit twice. Turned the car off and waited 5 min. Restarted the car and it ran fine. Then 2 days later the same thing happened. Took it to the dealer and it coded out as the throttlebody. Well guess what they are on national back order with no estimated date of delivery. So here i sit hurry up and wait.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving 45 mph the engine light illuminated and the vehicle began to decelerate independently. The vehicle was turned off and restarted several minutes later and began to operate as designed; however, the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 54,000.
I was passing another car. I began to increase my speed. The reading of my speedometer began to decrease & my car began to stop pulling, as if it had lost its energy. I pulled over to side of road.pressed on the gas pedalto idle up car. Nothing happened. Turned car off & back on.car began to drive normal for about 5 days.then it happened two more times in one day.next, i took it to a ford dealership.they stated it would take about $520 to repair. I thought my platinum warranty would cover this but, unfortunately i was told it wouldn't.i just purchase this car in feb 2013.today's date is august 16,2013....not a happy customer!!!!
Vehicle stalled and then stopped while in traffic. Re-started, traveled short distance, and it stopped again.this has continued to occur many times while approaching intersections, pulling on highway ramps, and pulling out of intersections. I took it to ford (mercury) dealer, but they could not repeat problem. No code reading. Car continued to repeat problem numerous times - no check engine light, no obd codes on reader. Car finally stopped completely. Dealer diagnosed problem as throttle body. Part is on back order - 6 months anticipated since so many(together with ford fusion) have the same problem.i see from nhtsa complaints that at least 35 have been registered on milan.ford seems to ignore the safety implications or to take any corrective actions. Started just after purchase (31,000 miles). Now had 41,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the failure by resetting the power train control and changing the engine oil. The dealer stated no codes would show after running different diagnostic test. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on more than one occasion for the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 52,000.
When driving at high speeds on the freeway there is a jerk in the car, the triangle warning light comes on that says pull over when safe, the engine shuts off, and we can no longer accelerate. We pull over, turn off the car, and then turn it back on.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving 65 mph the failure was experienced several times. The wrench warning icon illuminated as the failure occurred and remained illuminated after the failure. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where a personal mechanic performed a diagnostic on the vehicle. The failure was located at the throttle body. The dealer advised the contact that the throttle body could not yet be replaced because it was on a national back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 40,000.
I was trying to enter the freeway on the ramp when the car lost power. No throttle was present and the engine was slowly idling but very roughly.pulled over and turn ignition off. It started right up as if nothing was wrong. The problem occurs every 2 - 3 weeks but gets worse and harder to keep engine running properly after occurrence. Now check engine light comes on along with the wrench and the engine completely shuts off.the vehicle is now in the shop for $600 throttle body replacement.
While operating the vehicle under normal conditions the vehicle would stall out and lose power resulting in rapid decrease in speed and create unsafe driving situations. Car would still be running but pressing the gas would not result in acceleration. Turning vehicle off and restarting again would sometimes remedy problem but problem increased in frequency and severity, even happening to my wife while driving the vehicle on the highway at speeds in excess of 60+ mph traveling through bridge/tunnel system in local area.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while making a left turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle.the contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic, who stated the throttle actuator was defective and needed to be replaced. The mechanic advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The dealer replaced the throttle actuator. The failure mileage was 52,000.
I was driving on 495 toward silver spring/georgia ave. And the call just loss acceleration without warning.the engine and wrench lights illuminated on the dash.the car cruisedat about 5 miles an hour.an extremely dangerous situation to say the least.i was in the middle lane and had to work my way over to the shoulder.i'm taking the car to the ford dealership on 8/23/2016 for diagnosis.there appears to have been complaints reported to nhtsa about this problem and the case was closed without a recall.let me tell you, this problem is not only real but extremely dangerous.something more needs to be done.
While driving, the car loses power.it is dangerously crippled as it has to be stopped completely and put in the park position before it will restart.when restarting if i take my hand off the key it will continue to try and start the engine until it starts. The check engine light either comes on and goes off or fails to come on..
I've experienced several instances of my vehicle stalling while in motion at various speeds (30-65 mph). At the dealership it was determined that the problem is with the throttle & the part is on back order. It is my only means of transportation & cannot get it repaired. Despite the low mileage, i am being told that this is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This issue is not due to wear & tear but to a manufacturer's mechanical failure. Why is the consumer responsible for the repairs to a preexisting problem in these cars?
I was driving down the interstate a couple of weekends ago and all of a sudden my cruise control shut off and i had no throttle response. I pulled over and the engine sputtered very badly. After turning the engine on and off, i made it to my destination. When i was coming back on sunday, this preceded to happen two more times to me. Once when i was in the middle lane of a heavy traffic location. I couldn't accelerate or do anything besides break and avoid an accident, which was very close. I am lucky that no one got hurt but it became very evident that there was something wrong with the throttle in this car. After researching it more, i starting reading some of these same complaints, and the ford mechanic i took it to even said this isn't the first or even the second time he has heard of this failing on the 2010 milan. He claimed that was due to the electronic throttle bottle and believed it was from a defective unit on most units (good to know the problem except it wasn't covered under warranty, not recalled, and cost me $500). After hearing this, there is no way that this can not be recalled and fixed on every milan that has this same unit with the same serial number. I don't know if any accidents have occurred directly from this problem but i was close to one that definitely would have cost some people some lives. I am sure if this is a defective unit it will definitely cause one soon.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the wrench warning icon illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The dealer was made aware of the failure and stated that without the engine warning lamp being illuminated when placed on the diagnostic machine, they were not able to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 29,000.
Vehicle randomly sputters then the throttle completely stops working (dangerous condition at speed) and i have to coast to the side of the road while it is constantly sputtering and then have to put it in park, turn off the ignition and then turn it back on which appears to reset it.took it to dealership over a month ago and they are still waiting for the part (on back order).called ford and they finally filed a case number, but still could not give me a date for when the part will be available.fyi yesterday it happened about 7 times going to work and another 6 on the way home.
On 5 different occasions during the past week while driving between 70 and 80 mph on the freeway the vehicle stalled and went into limp mode. On one occasion this nearly caused an accident as the vehicle stopped in the middle lane of a three lane highway.no warning lights displayed other than "limp mode light" when the vehicle engine goes to idle.upon shutting vehicle off and restarting, vehicle behaves as normal with no indicator/warning lights.took vehicle to shop to get check engine codes, vehicle shows no error codes.
2010 milan hybrid lost power on two occasions in heavy fast interstate traffic.safe to pullover light illuminated, max speed of 5mph , dealer replaced 12v battery first time. 4 to six months later, same dangerous scenario and one more time trying to get vehicle to a dealer.the dealer said it was a defective electronic throttle body. The only recall was on models after 2010 beginning in 2011. The 2010 were never recalled although numerous complaints. 54000 miles on vehicle.
2010 mercury milan engine suddenly died on an urban interstate with similar symptoms of running out of fuel, and has died multiple times since. Wrench light illuminated as engine died, but no check engine light or codes appear for diagnosis. Must shut off engine, then able to restart engine. Engine dies randomly and is not affected by moisture, temp, or time driven. Condition is hazardous anytime acceleration and control are critical. Website entries indicate this is a widespread problem. Took into ford dealer once for diagnosis and dealer replaced air filter, did not fix problem. Throttle body suspected culprit, but no diagnostic codes appear.
Vehicle stalls out , no rpm's, over $400 in repairs to an item that should last a lifetime in a vehicle, i understand this is a common problem in ford fusion and mercury milan's. The electronic throttle body should be a recalled item. This could cause an accident if vehicle stalls on a major highway.
I would like to know why nobody has done anything about this throttle body problem. If you look online and you will see how many complaints there are about the same problem. I would like this to be on the recall list so all of the ones that own this car will not have to pay anywhere from 300-500 to get it fixed. This is a safety problem i was driving on i295 going about 6mph and i lost all throttle control , i'm in the far left lane and had no where to go so i'm coasting to the right shoulder and all most got hit 4 times. I would say this is a really important safety problem. I read about 35 of the same problems online and i haven't seen anyone from your company or ford comment on this are they waiting for someone to get killed before anything gets done to fix this. I will be calling monday morning to see what you or ford will do about this problem if nothin is done i will contact a lawyer and the news media. We were almost killed and something needs to get done at fords cost not the people who thought they had a safe car.
The first time this problem occurred was at a stop sign.the car engine idle became erratic, the engine light came on, and when i tried to pull away from the stop sign the car would not respond to the accelerator.pulled to side of road and turned off the engine, waited approximately 2 minutes and then restarted.the engine ran fine.the second time this problem occurred i was driving at 40 mph.the car engine speed became erratic, then the car lost power and would not respond to the accelerator.pulled to the side of the road and turned off the engine, waited approximately 2 minutes, and then restarted.the engine ran fine.took the car to my mechanic who read the engine codes and told me i need a throttle body.
While travelling 40 mph the vehicle suddenly stalled and all of the lights came on in the dash.the vehicle appeared to go into the limp mode.after pulling over to the side of the road, i was able to restart the vehicle.
The vehicle stalls and requires pulling over to the side of the road.it sputters until turned off.then will resume travel after restarting.this happened on multiple occasions in an intersection, on an off ramp, on a busy city street. The dealership initially said they didn't know what the cause was and that i should continue driving and see if it happened again.on july 7th, during a single drive home, the car shut down every couple of minutes and required my family & i pull over.we were on the side of the road many times on a busy highway, windy back roads--very scary not knowing when the car would fail, how fast cars behind us were traveling, whether or not cars would see us coming around a turn... Now they tell me the part needed is on back order because of the number of similar problems and they don't know when the part will be in.the car is way too dangerous to drive at this point so i am forced to pay for a rental car until the part comes in.hoping for a recall!
Vehicle stall while sitting at light - car in drive.car needed to be restarted.this happened multiple times in a row and finally was able to gas and accelerate. Let car sit for awhile, restarted and it stalled.other times while idle - car in park, engine surges.i believe this is the throttle body issue previously reported by others.
I had just pulled out of my driveway this morning and began to accelerate, up to about 20 mph, when all of a sudden i lost total power.i looked down at the dash while steering the vehicle over to the side of the street, and noticed the "wrench" light was lit up.i immediately shut the car off, and got out my manual.the manual said the light indicated a transmission/power train/awd issue.i thought i would attempt to start the car again, and see what it would do.i restarted the vehicle, and the wrench light was no longer went, and i had power when i put it in gear.i took my chances, and went ahead and drove it work, hoping it was just a fluke, but decided i would investigate to see if others had experienced the same issue.i came across the entire listing of others who were experiencing this issue so thought i better immediately get it to the dealer and put on diagnostics.i explained to them what i thought the issue might be, the throttle body problem i had read about.they put it on diagnostics, but the only code which came up was a p0456, saying i needed to replace a valve--this code is indicated by the "service engine" light, and not the "wrench".he said they could find no codes for the "wrench" light.i told him that was strange, because the wrench light came on when i lost power.he told me the p0456 could make the car have the same types of issues.i told him i had been driving with the p0456 code for an extended period of time, and it had never affected the performance of the vehicle, so i didn't understand why it would do it now.i feel like this is the same type of issues others are experiencing, but the service manager told me previously when they saw the throttle body issue, there was always a code.not sure why there is no code showing up, but that also seems to be common.guess i will take my chances driving at this point.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while he attempted to accelerate from a stopped position,the vehicle surged forward entered into limp mode and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The failure was located within the engine solenoid gasket. The dealer replaced the solenoid gasket was replaced; however, the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to stall on a highway, but the engine light illuminated after the failure occurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000. The current mileage was 38,000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power while driving highway speeds. The engine stalled and the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was scheduled for an appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was included in a customer service program concerning the electric throttle body replacement. The contact was uncertain if the voluntary service campaign from the manufacturer would provide a solution. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
I was driving about 40 miles per hour and then all of the sudden the car stop working properly. The wrench lit up on the dashboard. I decided to pull to the side and turn off the car. After turning off the car, i turned it on again and i was able to drive for about 4 miles. Then, when it was time to drive it up a hill, it did the same.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle vibrated and the throttle warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle operated normally once it was shut off and restarted. The failure occurred multiple times. The engine warning indicator also illuminated sporadically. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
This has occurred several times now. I will be driving and the car will suddenly stall and decrease in speed. There have been several times that i have almost been hit by another car as well. I went to ford and they told me my throttle body needed to be replaced, so i did that. Approximatelya year later the same thing started to occur. I took it back and they said they did an update, however about two months later the same issue occured. I took it back to ford because i am under warranty and they kept my car for 4 days and said they could not find the issue.recently now only the battery and the oil canister comes on, but when it stalls out now it jerks really hard going forward then stalls out. It is very dangerous and i am afraid to drive my car. I called ford as well and they said there was nothing that they can do. It's sad to see other people are experiencing the same thing and they won't do anything i will never buy a ford again.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact called town east ford (18411 lyndon b johnson fwy, mesquite, tx 75150) and was informed that there was no recall for the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
My car stalled suddenly in moderate 35 mph traffic on 8/16/14.i was nearly rear ended while i had to restart my car as there was nowhere to pull over.on 8/17/14, my car stalled suddenly after traveling .5 mile from home (at approx. 20 mph), so i returned to my house.on 8/18 at 7 am, i spoke to sheehy ford in richmond, va, and was given an appointment for throttle body repair to occur on 8/19 under their "customer satisfaction program" 13b17.i was told that i was not in danger of getting stranded, so i had my husband follow me to work on 8/18.the car stalled again on 8/18 while traveling at 40 mph.rather than replace the faulty part which they did have in stock, ford merely recalibrated the powertrain since the check engine light was not lit when i dropped off the car for service, even though i notified them twice of the multiple incidents (via phone on 8/18 and in person on 8/19).i have filed a complaint with ford since the contaminated internal motor contacts of the throttle body remain in my vehicle.
I m driving on freeway with 70 mph and all of sudden the speed reduces and unable to accelerate, wrench icon shows up.
Purchased this car used in july 2012. Is a 2010 and had low miles on it. Dealer claimed vehicle was a lease and was turned in. After driving the car several days, it stalled at stop sign, no engine light appeared. After re-starting, it drove fine. Several weeks later, vehicle again stalled at stop sign. No engine light. Vehicle was brought to dealer where the throttle body was replaced. Several days later, vehicle again stalled at stop light. This has been going on for over 9 months. It may not stall for several weeks. Dealer kept the car for one week, with a mechanic driving it as it was hooked up to portable diagnostic machine. It never stalled, nor did it show any engine lights. Dealer claims they cannot fix it if they do not see any indicators on diagnostic machine. It is no longer under warranty and if i want to continue to pursue this, i have to pay for each trip. Certainly, someone must have an idea of what is causing this as this seems to be a safety issue. I am expecting to be rear-ended any time now.
I was driving on a local road. Suddenly the car lost power and the wrench light was on. It could only go very slowly before i parked it on the roadside. I waited for several minutes and started the engine, then everything seemed just fine and the wrench light went off. After the trip i tried to connect obdii code reader but cannot get any error code.
Wrench icon appears and engine rpm drops and vehicle slows while unable to accelerate.engine surges at idle slightly below 1,000 rpm.if vehicle is shutoff and then restarted it will operate for an unpredictable time/distance.very dangerous to drive due to unpredictability.vehicle has been driven approximately 140 miles since first shutoff and has shut off numerous time since.on 9/27/13 it shutoff four times in 12 miles.wife is terrified to operate this car.vehicle will remain parked because of potential life-threatening safety hazard. Hopefully a recall for this will occur.
This is the first time this has happened but it happened twice in the same day. When driving the vehicle we experienced the "limp home mode" problem. I can see this has been well documented and the investigations are ongoing. Here's an additional problem with this event, we never got an indicator light of any kind on the dash. We took the vehicle in for service and the dealer was unable to retrieve any errors at all off the computer and they were unable to recreate the problem. Needless to say they were unable to take any corrective action.i pose this question, why when the vehicle obviously detected a problem to go into "limp home" mode would it not record the error in the computer? why would the dealership be unable to see it?
This has happened to me many times over the last month at least 12 times.this occurs at various speeds,the car will stall or nearly stall.i am unable to accelerate.i have to coast to a safe location turn the key off put the car in park and restart the car. Luckily the car has restarted everytime.the wrench warning light comes on after the near stall,but goes off after i restart the car. When i come to the stop the engine seems to be trying to run but has no power and the idle is very rough.i went to the dealer and they said it sounds like the throttle body.this seems to be a know problem but i don't see a recall on it? when it goes into the near stall i have no acceleration and puts me in a very dangerous position as i try to jockey to a safe location with no power.
While driving my 2010 milan at the speed of 55 mph, the car shook slightly and the wrench light appeared.the car began to lose power - i was able to steer with no problem.i could not accelerate.i shut the car off - and started it again.the first time it started with no problem.within driving 4 more miles, the same thing happened again.this time i was driving 25 mph.it happened seven more times before the check engine light came on.each time when i tried to start my car, it kept turning over before it would start.i waited for an hour on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck.when the tow arrived, the car started just fine - the check engine light was still on.this is extremely dangerous!i was driving in rush hour traffic and was almost rear ended on the highway.again when it occurred in town, there was no where for me to coast off to the side of the road, i had to stop in traffic to restart me car.
The engine stalls unpredictably.check engine light comes on.after a short period, the engine can be started and the car driven without recurrance of the problem, but the check engine light stays on.local ford dealership diagnostics indicate problem with the electronic throttle body.
The car behaves as if it was suddenly put into neutral. When you hit the gas the engine revs, but the transmission does not engage. The wrench and engine lights come on, and the car will sometimes sputter like it is going to shut off completely. The only way to get the car to function normally is to stop the car and turn it off and back on. I have had this happen on major highways and other busy roads. The problem is unpredictable. A mechanic has determined this to be a problem with the throttle body, but the part is on national back order. My car is un-drive-able.
While driving at approximately 45 mph, i lost throttle response, the engine assumed idle rpms.fortunately there was a place i could pull over and call for a roll back to take the car to the ford dealer.the throttle body assembly was the culprit and was subsequently replaced.
Driving on highway when i was no longer able accelerate in my 2010 mercury milan.the car began to jerk and the throttle control/transmission light came on. I turned car off and on and then could drive a few more miles when it repeated the scenario above.i was able to drive it to dealership.it did that a total of 6 times on the way to dealership and eventually both the throttle control & the service engine soon light was on.dealership fixed my car, replacing the throttle body but charged me saying the problem was not under any warranty.
First incident car killed twice at stop signs. Since then it has stalled at least 7 times, the last time on the freeway at 65 miles per hour during rush hour. It was only with the help of two highway helpers who blocked lanes on the freeway was i able to exit safely. Had the car towed to the ford dealership, they ran a diagnostic and no codes were found.they were unable to identify and fix the problem so suggested just taking the car and see if it happens again.in other words, even though the car has stalled at least 7 times, take it out on the freeway again and hope for the best.i advised ford that was not acceptable and referenced the nhtsa action number pe13003. I have requested they replace the electronic throttle body as the car is not safe to drive.
While driving on the highway, my car stopped accelerating and the rpms did not budge even when i stepped on the gas. A few seconds later the front end of my car (which i am assuming was the engine) began sputtering. A service light also appeared which is the one that is shaped like a double-sided wrench. I pulled off of the road and turned off the engine. I turned the engine back on a few minutes later and it started without any problems. I took my car into a ford dealership an hour after and they could not find anything wrong. They plugged in the computer and it did not detect any issues. I asked them to pop the hood to see if they could notice any obvious discrepancies but they refused to. They stated that they could not do anything for me because the problem was not currently happening.
While leaving work, vehicle rpm's dropped and car surged and nearly stalled out, pushing accelerator made no increase in power then "wrench" light illuminated on dash cluster, pulled off to side of road with brakes applied, and put car in neutral, rpm's low and fluctuating.shut engine off.started engine, no sign of "wrench" light, car made trip home, but rpm's fluctuated at stops, engine surging.performed internet search, found nhtsa action number : pe13003 which contains very similar issues for other owners of 2010 mercury milan.very scary and very lucky not to have issue on freeway, or in traffic.thank you for your time,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Driving in city traffic when the car began to stall. Almost rear ended by the car behind me.wrench light came on and the car stopped.i turned it off and then back on and was able to creep to a shoulder when it stalled out again.$500 repair and $55 tow.my mechanic told me the ford motor co. Was well aware of the problem and that it has been happening when the mileage gets around 50,000 miles.this is inexcusable.i'm going to sue them in magistrates court on monday.
2.car (hybrid) loses power. This is the only occurrence. The car was started and driven down hill to an intersection. When turning right the car suddenly and without any warning lost power. Several attempts to accelerate failed and the car came to a stop. I looked at the dash and the hev screen. I saw that the battery was fully charged (maximum limit), wrench warning lamp was on and the hev screen showed only the electric motor was on (hi lighted). I turned the ignition key off then on, and the car returned to normal operation. At this point the hev screen showed the engine, motor and batteryhi lighted. Should this happen while entering a freeway, a serious accident could have occurred.
I turned the corner today and my car suddenly lost power and sputtered and was difficult to steer. I managed to roll to the curb and front end started shaking so i immediately turned it off. Turned the ignition again and it struggled to start but did and then immediately repeated the above scenario. Fire station was on the corner and luckily three firemen saw what happened and drive down to help push my car into a culdesac. Waited 90 min for a tow to the dealer and now stuck with paying for a rental. I paid for an extended warranty and will be very upset if this isn't covered! very dangerous and i don't know that i'll feel safe driving this car anymore! a recall needs to be issued!!!!!
Car died multiple times on highway.i pulled over each time, turned off key, and restarted the car and proceeded. Dealer said it was a fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump. Car still dies.o'reilly's says it is the throttle body.i am having trouble finding the part. Car is not safe and i need it fixed or replaced.
I have a problem with my car it is losing it speed when i am on the highway and when i am on a main street. Where this car is putting my life in danger plus other. I take my car to three place no one seems to know what wrong with it the sign con on when i have this problem it tell me to take it back to the dealer there is a problem. It has been on a machine 4 times and no one car that my life is being put in danger each person said we need the car to tell us what wrong. At this time i need my car to be put in a safety place so not one will get hurt. Please help me to get this issue solve. Thank you.
Car lost power . Pulled over to side of express way. Turned off engine, waited a couple of minutes. Then restarted engine. Car ran ok.
The car was traveling at 30 mph when all of a sudden, without any warning whatsoever, the engine shut down.i had it towed and was told that the throttle body needed to be replaced.cost was $387.01. I don't feel that this should happen at 16,423 miles. (it had just passed warranty period.)had i been traveling on an interstate this would have been a major safety problem.
While driving the car begins to lose power. Then the car looses the ability to control it and appears to not have any gas going to it. The wrench on the dash board appears and the power steering goes out. The car appears to not be getting any gas. I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car. After it sits for a few minutes it will start again. Sometimes it starts up and doesn't happen for awhile. Other times it will happen again in a few minutes. It can happen at any speed or at anytime. Extremely dangerous if it happened on an interstate highway.
Car going into "limp mode" for no apparent reason.feels as if it has stalled.has happened on highway at 65 mph.car goes "limp" no power to move off highway.has also occurred while making left turn in front of traffic.car all but stalls.
The vehicle (which only has 30,000 miles on it) will stall at any speed without notice. There is no throttle response and engine idles rough with black smokey emissions. This condition has happened several instances, the worst case being with my wife and child trying to accelerate into traffic and suddenly experiencing a stall/no throttle situation half way into the intersection.the stalling has consistently been remedied by cycling the ignition off and then on again,then its just a matter of 20 to 200 miles and it happens again.the dealer has failed to diagnose the problem and states ford/mercury has no knowledge of a problem.the wrench light illuminates only while problem exists, it does not store a code or remain lit.the dealer has worked closely with us but is at a loss as to what the problem is.this problem needs to be addressed before my family or someone else gets hurt or worse killed.
When i was driving to work on sunday, i was going 70 on the interstate (i had my car set on cruise control). Out of nowhere, the wrench light turned on, my car made a very loud noise, and i was unable to accelerate my car. I had to pull over at an exit, and when i came to a complete stop, my car was shaking profusely. I turned my car off, and when i tried to start it, it took it several seconds to actually start. I figured it was just a glitch, so i didn't worry about it. Two days later, i was driving down another road going 45 mph, and i was driving up a hill (my foot was on the accelerator). The same thing happened again. So i took my car to a ford dealer, and they determined that the throttle body needed to be replaced. Then, they informed me that the specific throttle body that i needed was back-ordered for 6 weeks (isn't that a sign that there needs to be a recall??), and that i would have to continue to drive my car like this until the end of july. After researching the issue, i found that over 27,000 throttle bodies have been replaced (foxnews.com), and that there are many other issues that have come up with my car. I don't feel safe when i am driving, especially because the throttle body "dies" (if that's what the technical term is) without any warning.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14e028000 (equipment) however, the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to provide the part. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I have a 2010 mercury milan this car has been in the shop many times the transmission was slipping it has left me in the middle of an intersection and the last straw was 3 weeks ago when the transmission kicked in when i was turning it popped my neck and i hit a curb. I do not feel safe in the car. One time the gas pedal stuck and i had to reach down and pull out my floor mat. Also trim parts just fall off of this thing.

When the headlights switch is in the on or parking lights only, the right and left brake lights come on at full brightness.when brakes pedal is depressed, there is no change in brightness of right and left brake lights and the center rear brake light illuminates.when this was taken in for a required ny state inspection, the vehicle failed due to this issue.the mechanic working on the vehicle has stated that this is a very common issue with this year, make and model.dealer has been contacted and stated the cost would be in excess of $1,000 to repair this issue.this is a safety issue that is most likely to lead to rear end collisions and is common in several different vehicles of this year, make and model.manufacturer should be recalling vehicles of this year, make and model to repair this issue.
Approximately 25% of the rear passenger-side brake lights on my car permanently went out when i first discovered this problem in july 2014.during the following month, additional led lights in the rear light assembly failed until, finally, none of them would light up.this was outrageous in that my car, bought brand new in august 2009 and consistently housed in a garage, was fewer than 5 years old and had yet to reach the 30,000-mile mark.a licensed pennsylvania car inspection station representative told me that my car would not pass its safety inspection unless the rear brake light assembly was replaced.consequently, i was forced to do so; the bill came to $445 for its replacement.because the light assembly consists of led lights, the entire assembly should have lasted for the life of the automobile, in my opinion.obviously, this is a glaring safety defect since its malfunction alone results in a failure to pass an annualpennsylvania automobile safety inspection.not to mention that its replacement cost is astonishing.i feel strongly that ford motor company should address this situation since other mercury milan owners, as well as owners of its twins -- the ford fusion and the lincoln mkz -- have reported on this database nearly identical safety failures.owners of these vehicles should be compensated for a safety problem that is repeatedly reported on this website.ford certainly can no longer validly claim that it is unaware of this safety defect; it should issue a recall on its own and fix this design problem immediately.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan hybrid. The contact was driving 35 mph and was advised that the rear driver's side brake light was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the light assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 50100.
Just drove home from the dealer after buying this used 2010 mercury milan with 26000 miles and when i backed into my parking space i saw the reflection on the wall behind me that was no difference in the light with or without my foot on the brake. I called the dealer next day and they said to bring it back leave it for a day. I have found online that the led lights have a problem. I have not returned it yet because i live 80 miles from the dealer and need a ride home. I hope to this week.
If headlights or parking lights are on, left and right stop lights do not change brightness when brakes are applied.the brake light in the rear windshield does come on as it should.
Purchased this milan in 2011 with 22k miles. Immediately noticed issues with the 6-speed 6f35 automatic causing the car to stop accelerating under load, leaving me dead in the water when merging in traffic.i was not informed that ford already knew of issues and i was in and out of the dealer with nothing done, until the trany had more damage.it was repaired but never properly stress tested, by either of two dealerships i went to. According to the tsb if the trany exhibited certain grades of failure, it required reprogramming and then valve body replacement, followed by a stress test to verify there was not any more extensive damage.the most i got after the valve body was changed was a suggestion that i change my trany fluid that had already been changed by ford 20k miles earlier.i then started having issues with the rear tail lights (brake/parking), with ones flickering intermittently in the cold and then dieing completely, or going full intensity and never switching back to just parking light mode.had to replace both at high cost, ford lists $400 each, basically for the equivalent of a $2 bulb.i am an ee, specializing in manufacturing, and after taking one of the failing ones apart found it is was probably related to poor part choice or design.there was nothing damaged due to water or impact.i would dump this vehicle, however i still have payments and ethically i can not sell it on the open market worrying somebody else may have a dangerous issue with it due to the questionable transmission.if the transmission had any type over stress that required the level if testing mentioned in the tsb, which is almost impossible to do in vehicle, the whole trany should have been pulled.
After being told on several occasions that our left tail light and brake light was not working, on 5/19/14 our 2010 milan was taken in for routine maintentance by the dealer. At that time,they were asked to address the tail light and brake light problem. The vehicle had 35,070 miles on the odometer and although the new car warranty had expired, we had purchased both premium care and esp at the time of purchase to the tune of over $2000.i was shocked and very angry when i was informed that the left led tail light would need to be replaced at a cost of over $400 and it would not be covered under either program. Subsequently, in checking the small print, i discovered that led lights were indeed excluded under either program.checking further, i found that there are numerous complaints of what certainly appears to be a manufacturer defect and a safety issue regarding the led tail lightsthe ford dealer service advisor did not seem be surprised at my outrage since this seemingly is a problem that he evidently has dealt with before. Now it appears my right brake light is staying lit and does not function when the brake is applied and i could be faced with a $1000 repair bill.evidently ford is going to have to be forced to address this problem. One could be driving along without knowing their stop/brake lights were not working since there is no visual alert on the message center and wonder why they were suddenly rear-ended by a following vehicle at a traffic light. Besides the expense to the owner, there is a real safety issue that needs to be addressed!the lack of brake lights could result in serious injury and or death and considerable damage. The problem is an obvious defect in materials if not workmanship and the company is clearly liable. The life expectancy of led light strips is certainly much longer than the ordinary light bulb, so what is going on?
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that when the headlights were engaged, the driver's side brake light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician replaced the driver's side brake light. However, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact stated that the driver's side door handle fractured. The contact mentioned that in order to exit the vehicle he had to use the exterior door handle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
This vehicle is equipped with led tail and brake lights.i was informed that my left rear brake light was barely operable, so i went to the closest authorized ford dealer to have the situation remedied.the rear tail light assembly on these cars is a non-repairable sealed assembly, and any malfunction of the led's requires the whole tail light assembly to be replaced, at a cost of $465.this cost is outrageous, and how many people will simply elect to not replace an inoperative led tail light or brake light assembly?or what happens when ford ceases to supply the proprietary assemblies, and owners are faced with junking their vehicles simply because of burnt out tail light assemblies?i am frustrated that "progress" has taken us from the simple 59 cent incandescent tail light or turn signal/brake light bulb, so an over-engineered led assembly that is prohibitively costly to repair or replace.i believe a retrofit tail light assembly is needed, either with serviceable led's, or conventional incandescent bulbs.
Have been having issues with tail lights flickering and going out intermittently.from what i've read online, it appears this is an ongoing and widespread issue.the replacement is only for the entire unit at a cost of over $400.this is absolutely ridiculous and i believe there should be a recall on this matter.it is a potential hazard and a lot of people cannot afford the fee for 1 tail light much less both.
When the headlights are on the rear driver's side tail light does not light as brightly as the passenger side.i have had several people bring this to my attention beginning in approximately sept 2014.my sister in law followed me one night and it drove her absolutely crazy.i have had many people express concerns that i may get stopped for this.i inquired yesterday at the ford dealer about getting this fixed and was told that the whole unit needs to be replaced because they are led lights.approximate cost is $410 plus tax.i since have looked on line to inquire about replacing it myself and found that this is a common problem for mercury milans and ford fusions.
2010 mercury milan premier (led tail lights)with headlights on the left rear brake light remains on all the time and does not respond when pressing the brake pedal.
Tail lights stay illuminated bright whenever the head/parking lights are on. Have been told this numerous times even by tenn highway patrol. Took itmtn view ford, my regular dealer who replaced the brake light switch under premiumcare for the $100 deductible. Then they told me that i needed to replace both of my tail lights which is $375 each plus labor due to the fact that they were led lights and could not be repaired. This very disheartening since i see that this is evidently a common problem with these vehicles and is not covered under the extended warranty. I guess ford knew that there would be a problem with the lights and excluded it. I need the nhtsa to have a recall issued so ford will admit their problem and make it right for their consumers.the approximately $1000 dollars to repair this is unreasonable when a simple bulb change could have resolved the problem. Yes, i did have a throttle body problem which was repaired under my warranty before the recall and when the recall was issued mtn view ford sent me a check for my $100 deductible. I wonder what will go wrong next.the only injury or fatality due to this is may wallet.
The left rear outer brake light assembly led lights have failed.i expected to be able to pick up a replacement at the local auto parts dealership.i found out that i had to get the part from my ford dealer.i can not simply replace the led assembly.it will cost nearly $400.00 for me to purchase a new brake light assembly.this is a ridiculously high price to pay for the replacement of a brake light.i fear the high cost will cause many milan drivers to continue to drive without adequate lighting on their vehicles.ford should either replace the part for free, or greatly reduce the cost of the assembly due to their design failure.
Both led taillight on my 2010 mercury milan do not work.i am told that because it is a sealed unit and that it may not be the bulbs, it could be the control module in the lenses.i thought that going to led lights they were to last longer that the old system and should have lasted for the life of the car. This is a safety issue that should be address.why would both go out at the same time.note the third brake light works and i am told is on the same fuse as the taillights.the cost to replace these is around $400.00 each and the only place to get it is a ford dealer.
Passenger side brake light went out completely without warning. The replacement led assembly costs upwards of $400 to replace. Led bulbs should have a life span of >10 years. Several other complaints filed with the nhtsa lead me to believe that this is the result of a faulty part.
When the lights are on (at night), the rear lights are continuously at their highest brightness, as if the brakes were pressed down. So, it appears that the brakes are on continuously. The only difference when the brake pedal is pressed down is that the central light high up on the trunk turns on. This is only an issue at night- during the day the brake lights function normally. Based on internet forums at edmunds and consumer reports, among others, i have found at least 10 other instances of this exact same problem with 2010 mercury milans, most with low mileage: e.g.http://forums.consumerreports.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&tsn=1&webtag=cr-38aujohn&tid=5115 ; http://www.edmunds.com/mercury/milan/2010/consumer-discussions.html. My car has only 15,000 miles on it. This clearly appears to be a factory wiring defect, and one that is not immediately obvious when the car is purchased (we only found out about it when someone we knew was following our car at night, three months after purchase of the car). The fix, according to ford, is to replace both tail lights, at a cost of $1000. Ford refuses to help pay for the repairs or acknowledge the defect. Given the obvious safety implications of continuously active brake lights, the documented record of the defect, and the non-obvious nature of the problem (many people may be driving around with this problem without realizing it), nhtsa needs to press ford to acknowledge the defect and perform a recall.
The taillight fixture on my 2010 mercury milan is now bad and ford wants $400 to replace it. It is an led fixture and should not have burnt out by now. I cannot replace the bulb on my own, the whole fixture must be replaced.
When driving in motion passenger rear brake light is on at night at all times....got pulled over and ticketed. When home i could not recreate the event at several attempts to brake both forward and backward with the headlights turned on. Car has only 29,000 miles on it.
The driver side rear brake light does not work when the driving lights are on.it seems there are multiple people with this same problem, as a responsible company ford should fix this issue and not pass there error on to the consumers. The fog lights also are having electrical issues, sometimes they work, other times they don't.
Brake light failure. Car has led brake/tail lights. Brake light on left side would intermittently flash when headlights on. Changed complete taillight. ($375) problem fixed. 13 months later same brake light failed, brake light does not illuminate at all. Wiring ok, needs another tail light assembly. Another $375.
The tail light assembly burned out after an unusually short period of time, they are led type and lasted only 5 years.led's with this short life span should be considered defective as there are numerous incidents being reported about this problem.
Right rear brake light inoperable and none repairable.the assembly is not repairable and is very expensive to replace ($300 to $400 ).ford should make the assembly serviceable or affordable.failure is very premature and should be recalled.
Rear tail light failure. When headlights are on tail light does not come on when brake is applied..
I have a 2010 mercury milan.the milan is equipped with led tail and brake lights, unlike it's sibling, the ford fusion.recently, i discovered after being pulled over by the police that thebrake lights were not operating.i went to the dealer's service department, only to discover that the tail light/brake light/turn signal assembly is one sealed, unserviceable unit.there was no warning and leds do not burn out this quickly.to add insult to injury, ford will not cover this under their premuimcare esp warranty, because they consider it a consumable object like tires.so on top of almost getting killed by being rear-ended in a collision, i got the privilege of paying $1000.00 to replace both sealed assemblies.this is a common failure in these vehicles and a hazard on the road which occurs without warning.please recall these vehicles and make ford fix this dangerous issue.thank you,
I purchased the car new in august 2010. In june 2012 i noticed a problem with the left tail/brake light. When the headlights were off, the brake lights worked properly when the brake pedal was depressed. However, with the headlights on, instead of the left tail light being on, the brighter brake light was on all the time. This could lead the driver behind me to think i am applying my brakes when i am not.the rear lamps on this car are led, not regular bulbs. The only fix is to replaced the entire sealed assembly; the car was still under warranty, so the dealer replaced the lamp assembly at no charge. Now, 2 years later, i am having a similar problem with the lamp assembly that was replaced. Since the car is now out of warranty, ford will not do anything about it. I would have to purchase the lamp assembly (which my research shows is a dealer-only part) for over $400. And presumably, when it fails again after 2 years, i get to spend another $400 for another one.since milans are no longer being made, what will we do years down the road when this part is no longer available from anyone at any price? junk the car because the rear lights don't work properly?i have researched this, and many milan owners have the same problem. This is clearly a safety issue, and it is obvious that these assemblies are defective. I feel that ford should redesign these to be reliable (or alternatively, design a replacement that uses standard bulbs instead of leds), then issue a recall and replace them at no charge for the life of the car.
Driver side rear brake light staying illuminated constantly as if the brake is pressed and nearly caused crash (i had two small children sitting in the back of my milan), had the vehicle behind me not went into the ditch a collision would have been inevitable. Please look into this problem as it has the potential to cause bodily harm andinjury to the occupants. I had no idea there was a problem with constant illumination until this point. Upon scheduling an appointment at the ford dealership and doing a little research i see this is a frequently reported problem but no recall has yet been issued nor an investigation. Also since learning of this problem this morning and observing the vehicle brake lights there is also a flicker of lights every so often.
Same failure as everyother milan.drivers side rear taillight malfunction! anytime headlights are on the taillight lights up as if the brakes are on. They aren't. Dealership pretends not to know anything about the problem. Ford lost two sales on this one. When the mercury and the lincoln come of age, back to imports for this couple.
Brake lights will not operate when head lights are on. This problem could have been defective when car was purchased. My dad is 86 years old and bought the car new as dealer demo in 02/ 2013. Hes was notified that his brakes were not working and when he returned the vehicle ford would not honor the problem, i have investigated this problem on the internet and there are numerous complaints with this year model.my dad could have been seriously hurt if not notified bye a person following him.this cost him approxomitly 1000.00 dollars to fix i feel ford should recall these do to this problem.
I have had to replace both brake lights on my 2010 milan.now that they are led with a computer the cost is $400 a piece.not a good thing.
My 2010 mercury milan premier is having the same lighting problems that i have been reading about.the tail light led's are going out one by one.my son the police officer just pointed this out to me.he noticed this after following me home the other night.i am reading that this is an expensive repair.it is the left tail light now, but i guess the right will eventually go too.i also had to have both of the front head lights repaired.my local mechanic was able to do this for me at a fairly reasonable cost.after i had to have the expensive lamp bulbs replaced several times.a recall on the rear lights would be greatly appreciated.
When turning on the headlights, the left and right rear tail light illuminate as if you are braking. They remain on with no discernible difference between non braking and braking actions. This can lead to a potential safety hazard and the potential to be rear ended. The tail light assembly in these models is faulty and needs to be addressed. Ford does not seem willing to help with this matter.
Driver side tail lamp assembly is not functional seems the led portion of the taillight assembly needs to be replaced at a cost of $400-500 from the dealer. This is the second taillight in the 2 years of ownership that it has had to be replaced. Very poor design and safety concern of mine since this is no longer a $2.00 bulb replacement but an entire taillight assembly.
My wife noticed apx 1 year ago that her left brake light was not working. We discovered it was led & apparently the complete tail light assembly needs changed. We recently brought it to our ford dealerships' attention, but they said they did not know how to fix. Although, we realize that occasionally, changing lamps is the owners responsibility, we feel that changing a very expensive tail light assembly is not the norm. This car has had no wrecks & no after market devices of any kind. Please help!! thank you
The driver's side break light is hyderactive when my headlights are on. When the headlights are off the break light works fine. This seems to be a popular issue with many mercury milians. The part was 377.00 to replace it and i have no had the car a full year. Also my driver's side actuator in my headlight went as well. My first car purchased ever and it was ford and i have had nothing but issue with the car. Disappointing.
My 2010 mercury milan has two lighting issues not caused by custom lights or bad wiring. The first is my drivers side tail light is fully illuminated like im pressing the brake pedal when i am not. I turn my lights on and it either flickers or stays on or both. I have read at least a few hundred others complaining of something similar or worse. Please investigate it and i can show you a picture if needed. Now, the second is....moisture gets into my plate light covers causing one light to short and the other to flicker. This may be a problem with all license plate light covers. I have noticed on the 2010 ford fusion/focus and the mercury milan models there is almost always one plate light out. Take note that my lens cover isn't cracked or compromised in any visible way. Those are the two lighting issues i have. On some reports read i have seen that ford knows but refuses to repair it and many oem factory lights have the same issue. It is a problem in the circuit board for the l.e.d lights. Please i urge you to investigate this known issue so nobody gets injured or killed by faulty tail lights. Thank you
When my headlights are on, the right brake lights are constantly illuminated
I bought this car used as i am 72 and can't afford a new one. I just found out the tail light is out and called the dealer and they said it would cost $1200.00 to repair. Is ford joking with this kind of light. I guess i'll just take tickets when i'm stopped.
Soon after purchase one of the tail lights would not shut off with the car.then the other tail lights would slowly go out in rows until almost dark.both tail lights are involved and it is an intermittent problem.the dealer finally said there is a short in both tail lights and the parts alone are $915.00 not counting the installation costs.these should be robust led tail lights.there is obviously some issue with the lights themselves or the wiring due to the number of complaints when researching the problem online.these is a major safety issue when people can be driving their car and the tail lights just slowly go out or do not come on at all.
Husband saw brake flicker-monitored it over next year-figured loose bulb. One time went out but came back on. Went in for oil change 9-25-13 mechanic noticed flickering and at times not working.checked connections-ok at this time. Determined vehicle needs new otr mntd tail lamp est. $402.the led bulb is under $10,but must replace entire unit! notified ford and noticed others have had same issue.
Got a ticket for driver side brake light being out. Next day found out brake light is $300 that is insane this is not a high end vehicle. An led light is the cheapest light ever invented. If ford doesn't make this a recall i will never purchase another ford product again .....total ripoff!
We were informed by a individual in a passing car that our brake lights were not functioning properly one evening. We took the car to a dealer to get the oil changed and exterior brake lighting issue resolved.we were told thatthe brake lights needed to be replace and because it was part of an assembly, the total charge would be $1281.87 which included an oil change and diagnosis. I felt i had no choice but to replace the lights rather than endanger us or some other individual(s) on the road. I called ford and received a case # but as of 11/21/14 ihave heard no response.going to this site there is 89 out of 438 complaints about this same issue.i do not believe that these led lights should go out this quick nor that if needed to be replaced, should require the whole brake assembly to be replaced.this is a engineering design failure. Ford claims "quality is job one.this is not the case with this issue. I believe the nhtsa needs to address this and issue a recall.
I was asked to pull over by a friend who told me the brake lights weren't activating on the passenger side of the vehicle. Center and left side were operational.when i turn off the headlights, the brake lights are operational.an obvious system failure within the sealed light.cannot replace this led light, the entire tail lamp unit must be removed. Checked with various parts and dealership ($400+) seems excessive for a tail light that costs $2-3 in an ordinary tail light system.
Back tail light assembly (led panel) of the 2010 milan is faulty. Some lights would not light up at all and at one point someone reported none were lighting up. The car was just over the warranty with only 16,000 miles. Checking online it appears this is a serious problem with this model and year car and many have experienced the problem with low mileage even with replacement panels (at upwards of $400 for the part). Since it is impossible for a driver to know if/when the lights are or are not working - it is a serious danger for anyone driving behind a milan. Nhtsa should force a recall of the parts before someone is rear ended and killed. Ford and their dealerships do not care.
First brake light and tail light on drivers side light up once in awhile did not know was out till friend told me , cost to repair led light is $400 for part have not repaired yet, while driving at any speed car will shut down to limp mode ,dealer stated $550 to repair and replace throttle body , both are serious safety items that could result in being rear ended,out of warranty so ordering a throttle body and replace by ourselves for it stalls out continuously , recall should be ordered on both the tail light assemblies and the throttle body as both are a common problem on these vehicles.
The right passenger tail light went out. This part is an led and was $300 to replace. Ford said this was no fault of my own. There was no warning that the light was out.
All 4 led tail light units failed. 1 each left and right body. 1 each left & right trunk lid.
The tail lights on the car keep fading out. The right tail light is completely out and the left tail light flashes, instead of just staying on as the brake is being pressed.
I was told by a co-worker that i had a left brake light out. I checked and found that not only was the brake light out so was the lamp or running light out on the left side. On the right side the brake light worked properly during the day but at night with the running lights on the light shown with brake light brightness even though brake was not depressed. When the brake was pressed the light didn't change any brighter.i called the dealer and they confirmed that both lights would need to be changed. If i changed them myself it would cost $406.00 for the left led module and $412.00 for the right module. If they changed them add another $95.00. I contacted fordasking for financial help with this problem but received none. This repair in the past using two 1157 light bulbs would have been under $10.00.i have not replace led lamp/ brake modules at this time. I will continue to save for these items.
The initial incident in november, 2013 was the failure of the passenger side rear led tail light assembly.this resulted in the brake lights not operating when the brakes were depressed.a police officer stopped the car for a warning due to the brake light failure.mileage on the car at the time was 12,700 miles. Due to the safety hazard the repair was needed. The entire assembly, not just a single bulb needed to be replaced. Approximately 10 months later in september, 2014 the driver side rear led tail light is now malfunctioning in the same way.brake lights are again flickering and not working when the brakes are depressed.mileage on the car at the time of this next failure was 16,100 miles.the dealer quoted price to repair is over $450!this car is garage kept, well maintained and has not been in involved in any accidents.ford should fix this defect under a safety recall free of charge to customers!
My neighbor informed me that the rear brake light is out. It is not safe and it is illegal to drive without fully operating brake lights. This car only has 30,000 miles on it. Ford has to replace a complete rear lamp module which includes other rear lights that still work, to the tune of $300 to$400. My brother-in-law has owned 50+ cars over many years and he said he has never had to replace a brake light. Ford should be replacing these defective led brake lights as a technical/safety recall.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan.the contact stated that the rear brake light illuminated.the contact mentioned that there were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel.the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted.the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the tail light assembly needed to be replaced.the failure mileage was 49,500 and the current mileage was 50,000.updated 8/12/14the consumer stated the right stop light was always on with the tail light. Then the right side light went out.updated 09/23/14
The driver side outer tail light is partially out. The outer 2 segments still light up, but the inner 5 are out. If you tap the light it flicks on for a second on then goes out again. The lights do not illuminate when the brake is pressed either.
The passenger side outer led taillight has failed now twice. Quite expensive to replace as you have to buy a whole new assembly vs just a new bulb.
When stepping on the brakes the rear passenger brake light either flickers or illuminates half way. When we took it to ford they said this was not covered by warranty and tried to charge us $500. This is obviously a malfunction on the manufacturers side.
My passenger rear lights flicker or don't work at all. Have been told they have been replaced before! should be a recall as they are expensive and all led
I commute approx 45 miles to work on a dailybasis monday thru friday. I have a friend that also commutes, and on several occasions she has called me and asked if i was on the interstate and where i was located, she said i can tell when you are on the road, as your tail lights are always so much brighter than everyone's. Approx a month and a half ago, the same thing happened and my friend asked me to step on the brakes, she noted that the only difference in the lighting on the back of my car was that the brake light in the back window came on, the taillight-brake lights didn't change when i stepped on them brake.i have since taken my car into the dealership to find out what is the matter, one dealership reported that i have an led board out, on both sides, approx cost 397 dollars a piece.i then took it to a ford dealership and they have spent 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem was, they changed the switch under the dash, thought it was fixed and then couldn't get the car out of gear. They then took a taillight out of another mercury milan on their lot and put it in my car, which worked, but then didn't on the other car. The mechanic i spoke with said they had not seen this before, but had never looked for it because no one had brought it to their attention, he reported that he was going to check all the cars on their lot and was very concerned about the safety issue, that i could have very easily have been rear-ended, because there was no change in the brake lights. The mechanic said that when the headlights are on , the brake lights are on continuously.
Driver's side taillight illuminates as if the brakes are applied the entire time the headlights are on.
I noticed on december 2, 2013 (may have been happening sooner), that when the brakes are applied, the tail light light blinked on and off and at times stayed off, but then went back to blinking. There isn't a bulb that can be replaced. The whole tail light assembly has to be replaced, which is costly.
I purchased my 2010 mercury milan used on august 30, 2012 with 987 miles. Approximately in june, 2013 the car's right rear tail lamp went completely out and i had a new tail lamp installed for $408 + labor.in november, 2013 the car's left rear tail lamp went completely andi had a new tail lamp installed for $408 + labor. Now,march 6, 2015 the right rear tail lamp has gone out and i cannot afford to keep on paying these expenses when i now know that this is a ford problem and due to poor engineering of the light assembly and because it has not been re-engineered to correct the problem, this will be a recurring problem for the life of the car. I run the chance of being stopped by the police for an unsafe vehicle.
I was pulled over by police for burnt out taillight assembly ...passenger side assembly needed replaced at 42000 miles and now drivers side burnt out at 43000 miles...factory only part cost me $432 and now i'm looking at another $432... I thought led assemblies were suppose to last longer than bulbs....not the case in 2010 mercury milans... This is my first ford and my last ford!!
Led brake light flickers on and off.
When my headlights are on, the brake lights are constantly illuminated.i read this is a common problem with the 2010's.there needs to be a recall
Led tail/stop light fails; ford garage says this is a common problem with this car and part; this is a real safety issue that ford refuses to fix under extended warranty; repair not possible; only replacement of assembly at a cost of ~$400 each.
Left rear brake light.it works part of the time and then it does not work.stopped several times for it not working, then it would start.not the entire brake light is out.part of it still lights up.this has been happening since i bought the car used about 4 years ago.
Left and right brake lights stay on brake lights when lights are turned on.
This is another documentation of many other owners whose brake lights on a 2010 mercury milan were not functional without any knowledge of the owner or driver, causing potential for accidents. During daylight hours or when the headlights do not come on automatically, the left brake light works normally and the right brake light is sporadic, not working abut 70+% of the time. When the headlights are on the left brake light is brighter as if the brake was on and the brake light does not change intensity.the right brake light does not go on but the rear light works.the center brake light always works regardless of whether the headlights are on or not.there is no indication on the dashboard that any light is malfunctioning.i only discovered this by following my wife home after we had our daughter's car in for service.i since followed her for about 20 miles on another day to confirm this situation. We took the car to the dealer who quickly diagnosed the problem, faulty brake light assemblies and two days later, and $847 payment the problem was fixed, for now.
Noticed led taillight beginning to go out passenger side. Individual leds unable for replacement but full taillight needs to be replaced at a cost of $284. Due to cost of replacement, i feel the taillights should last longer than four years or 60,000 miles. The part is uncommon and not stocked in any part stores here, city of 70,000. I work on the road so that makes finding time for a dealership repair near impossible. I am now driving with a dim taillight while i try to find one online and await shipment for a diy.
My 2010 mercury milan only has 18300 miles on it and i was told that the whole tail light assembly needs to be replaced and it is not covered under the extended warranty.the brake light stays on continuously when the headlights are on.it is a known problem. The cost is almost $500.00.obviously this car. Is not driven a lot.
When i went to have my car inspected, i was told that when the lights are on either during the day time or night time, they are always "brake light" lit.they are never lit like regular tail lights and it always looks like my brakes are on.when i took them to my mechanic, i was told i needed both tail light assemblies. The place i got the tail lights charged me $279.63 per light, i had to have both tail lights replaced, total cost to me, $559.26.this problem has been since 2012 and i was not aware of it since i am not behind the car and just needed to have the car inspected. I noticed that the driver's side tail light always looked brighter, but i thought that because it was an led light, that was the reason for the brightness.i could have had a rear-end collision due to this issue.because my car is not under warranty, i needed to have this repaired at my expense and since the car is only 4 years old, i do not think it should be my expense.plus trying to get these lights was very time consuming even for my mechanic.this has been a very frustrating situation, especially since the car is only 4 years old.
The drivers side brake light has intermittent operation. The lamp cannot be replaced like a regular turn signal lamp.
The passenger side led tail light is no longer working. The car is not even 5 years old yet. Leds should not fail this quickly since this is a critical safety part. My understanding is that it is not covered under my fordpremium level extended warranty. It is a costly part.
The rear right exterior light burned out. There are supposedly led lights. Dealer notified me that the cost of the part was approximately $450.00 and that did not include labor. This is a safety issue and ford refuses to pay anything. This car is a 2010 mercury milan. It is my first ford product. I have been a loyal toyota driver before their but wanted to buy an american car. This is after the throttle body had to be replaced. How can they justify this?
We had our oil changes and a safety check performed by our local ford dealer in elmira, ny and we were informed that when our parking lights were on the right rear (passenger side) tail light was illuminated as if the brake light were on and the left side was a normal illumination.this i saw as a serious safety issue because it could confuse someone behind the car and possibly lead to an accident and wondered why this was happening so i went online and learned that i am one of possibly thousands that this is happening to.the fix is to replace the entire tail-light assembly which at a dealer would cost between $400.00 to $600.00.the tailight is an led assembly and in my opinion it is a faulty part.it poses a very serious safety issue and because from my research it can happen at any age or millage is should be recalled and be replaced with a reliable unit.years ago one knew when your light was out or your turn signal wasn't working and it was a cheap $2.00 fix.i was lucky because only one light was bad but what if both lights were bad i or my wife could have been involved in a very serious accident.i know that it was a definite fault in the unit because when the parking lights were not on it functioned as it should when the brakes were applied.lets get a recall so people won't get hurt.
Trailing driver noticed issues with left taillight flickering intermittently....a visit to forums indicate a widespread problem with costly repair and ford not wanting to take ownership of the problem. ..updated 10/06/14
I recently purchased this "certified" mercury milan on 10/25/14.i have only had it for less than 3 wks and the right brake light went out.i only knew this because i was pulled over by our local police dept. And was given a warning.i tried to find this in the local auto store and found out it needed to be purchased by the dealer.i then contacted the dealer and was told to bring it in.i was told a ticket would be created and given to sales and i would be called the next day.since the vehicle was still "new" to me i thought it would be covered under my warranty. I waited 2 days and no response.my spouse went into the dealer and was told that the brake light assembly was not covered by the warranty and that the cost to us would be $500.i feel that this is a major safety hazard that many consumers cannot afford and many accidents will be caused.i do not even feel safe driving my grandchild in this vehicle for fear of him being injured if i get rear ended.i feel do to this being a safety concern that ford would do a recall after having so many complaints about it.i have called ford motor co. @ 800-392-3673 to voice my concern.the more that call maybe something will be done before an innocent person loses their life because of a faulty system that this company is very aware of..
Noticed left outer taillight flickering in july 2014. Light finally went out. Entire assembly was changed on 9/1914. On 9/9/14 noticed the same flickering. Light has not gone out yet but it is only a matter of time.dealer wants $114 just to look at it. There are a lot of complaints with this model. Needs recall.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the rear brake lights remained illuminated as if the brakes were being engaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the circuit board was defective and as a result, the rear light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 53,554.
In early december, i clicked the door open button in the dark and noticed the right rear tail light was only half lit.i went to the manual to see what bulb it was, figuring that i could buy a new one and change it.the manual said to bring the car to the dealer. I decided that i would bring the car to the dealer when the next oil change was due.i brought the car in on january 9th and was told that both the right and left tail lights had to be replaced and the cost would be $1,100.the time of this service was two months and less than two thousand miles past the basic warranty.i was shocked and very unhappy as i felt that this was clearly a manufacturing defect as the leds should last 10,000 hours or more.these had, at most, 700 hours.the defect may well have occurred during the warranty period, but i never noticed it as no indicator light ever went on.the service rep and service manager contacted ford and there was an adjustment made where i paid 30% or $325.
Rear passenger led tail light flickers intermittently when headlights are on and brake light on this lamp illuminates though no pressure on the brake pedal.per my research, ford is charging customers for this repair (up to $500 per light) though it is a safety issue.flickering light distracting to other drivers as well as unsafe as brake illuminates randomly though i am not braking.
The left side brake and tail light are not working... Changed the buld.was intermitant at first but is now out.in order to fix... The whole taillight assembly has to be changed for about 500.00!!!looking on the internet... It seems to be that the left one has a huge problem!!dangerous for everyone.
Someone noticed my rear passenger tail light on my 2010 mercury milan was abnormally bright and that brake light did not work. So i investigate and find that i have to replace the whole assembly instead of just a bulb. Omg. I have been a loyal ford owner since 1985. The cost to replace is over $600? unbelievable. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
Both right and now left brake lights developed a condition where they turn on in their bright, braking state whenever the head-lights are on.the dealer replaced the right light, at my expense a year ago.now, i have to replace the left light.these repairs are $400 each.and there is no indication to the driver that this important safety system isn't functioning properly.i was notified by other drivers of the problem.ford should recall and inspect these vehicles.someone will be rear-ended because of this problem.the date of my "incident" is approximate.my issue is the same as shown here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h7m70cuyvk.
One month after my nhtsa complaint # 10563879, the left side tail/brake light system is now responding in the same manner. Ie: brake lights function normally during the day without the tail lights on, but when tail lights are activated, they shine at full 100% intensity, as if the brakes were applied. Brake application is now only shown by the small third center light. Whenever i see a milan in my city at night, which is the only time it will be evident, i try to follow it to see if it has this issue also. I'll find that usually 1 or both of this vehicles lights do this, and the owners do not realize it. I feel this is a widespread safety issue, compounded by the owner being unaware of a problem. No dash warning is shown.and yes, ford wants $400 for this lamp. Replacing it is the only fix.
Right rear brake light stays engaged constant, 100% luminous when headlights are on. Dealer replaced complete tail lamp assembly january 1, servicedfebruary 2012 under warranty.mileage 32141. Now a second time same problem with same right lamp. Not sure how long it has been that way. I was notified by family member when they were following me home one evening.70000 miles. These led lamps are expensive, seems as if lighting has faulty parts assembly malfunction instead of a routine light replacement.multiple complaints listed here for same issue. Is there a recall? i have not received anything for a recall. Now has become a safety concern.
Defective left rear tail light assembly.dealer informed me of problem and is currently replacing the assembly.cost around 400 hundred dollars.one of concerns is why didn't the safety system in this vehicle alert methat i had a tail light out.my ford fusion identifies when a light is not working and its 4 years older.
This is the 2nd $400 rear tail light i've put on this car. It has led lamps and the whole light has to be replaced. Works fine without headlamps on and not when they are off. This can result in getting rear ended!!!!! ford should step up and recall this. Hundreds of complaints on internet. And a 9.5 out of 10 on nhtsa. Replacing a $2 bulb with a $400 led is dumb.
On 12/5/2014, i noticed that the passenger side tail light was dimmer than the driver's side tail light and the brake light did not brighten when the brakes were applied.the dealer indicated that the whole tail light assembly would need to be replaced at an estimated cost of between $400-500 since this is an led integrated system.from an internet search and the nhtsa complaints, it seem that this is an issue that is occurring at low mileages. I cannot afford to replace the tail light assembly and will therefore continue to drive the vehicle as is.i'm sure there many people who have this issue that cannot afford to replace the tail light assembly.in some cases, both the driver's side and passenger side tail lights/brake lights have failed at low mileages, which might cost up to $1000 to resolve this issue.in colorado, we do not have an inspection program, so this issue would not keep drivers from driving their cars in an unsafe condition.i'm afraid it will take a fatality and a lawsuit to elevate this issue to the point where ford will address this issue.
In april 2013 i noticed that my left back tail light would go out and come back on intermittently. Eventually the tail light stayed on, but it was not a normal tail light the brightness indicated that it was a brake light. Every time i turn on my lights the brake light illuminates as a tail light. Now march 2014 my brake light in my back window went out. I replaced the bulb in this light. Two weeks ago may 2014 my tail light on the right side went out and when i used my brakes the right brake would blink like a blinker. Currently today. I have a tail light on the left that is as bright as the brake, when the tail lights are on i don't have a brake light. When the lights are off the brake light works. On the right side i do not have a tail light or a brake light. So when the lights are on, i have one tail light out completely. When i have my tail lights on the only brake light i have is in the back window. I called today about replacements and was quoted $376.20 a piece! that is only the part. I did have an electrician friend come out and test the wiring and nope not the wiring, it is all in the light. I can not afford to get this fixed. Ford needs to step up! this is the 6th ford we have had. This is the only issue i have ever had. If ford does not take reasonability i will be trading it in for a toyota!
Brake light tail light just stopped working. Seems to be a common expensive problem that ford should stand by.i wish there was an aftermarket tail light assembly. Led's should last longer than four year's.
We purchased this vehicle new in 2010. In 2012 we noticed flickering in left rear tail light assembly, which was intermittent, this occurred at approximately 40,000 miles. In october 2014 at approximately 83,000 miles we noticed that when the head lights were turned on that the brake lights stayed on constantly even when the brakes were not applied.
The taillights never changed illumination, when the headlights where on. When the headlights were not on they illuminated according to brake petal pressing. Was driving at night with headlights on nd was rear ended due to the other driver knowing i was stopping. The other driver was hurt along with her passenger. Next morning to vehicle in to dealership was told it needed a headlight control switch and an rear tail light assemblies. Not bulbs but assembled as these are led. 435$ for each taillight and 50 for control switch.
Left tail light started flickering and now is completely out. Was told assembly needs to be replaced. This is at least a $400 fix. This is a led light and should have lasted more than 4 years. This is a safety concern and a recall should be issued.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the rear led tail light remained illuminated while the brake pedal was not depressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 11/19/15*lj
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the driver's side rear tail light failed and remained illuminated after the brake pedal was released. The dealer performed a diagnostic which located the failure at the led assembly circuit board. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000 and the current mileage was 24,500.
Noticed right rear brake light lit when headlights are on and brakes not applied. Headlights off, no problem noticed. This seems to be a common problem with ford / mercury led tail lights. If rear led lights need to be replaced ford motor company should put a 7 year / 70k mile guarantee on the high dollar replacement lights. Who makes these for ford ?
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the passenger's side brake light failed. The contact found out the brake and tail lights were faulty by being stopped by a sheriff. A repair shop informed her, the computer chip in the tail lights were faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.updated 02/11/14*lj
At night (with running lights on) the left rear brake light remains on all the time and does not respond when pressing the brake pedal.
The exact incident date is unknown.the right tail/brake light does not function at all and the left tail/brake light burns very bright like the brake is depressed but its not.this happens when the headlights are on but they function when the headlights are turned off although the right one is much dimmer.i have spoken to the dealership and was told that the entire light assembly would have to be replaced at a cost of 530.00 per side and there wouldn't be a guarantee that they would last any longer. I have called ford and made a complaint as well.i haven't gotten it fixed yet since its going to cost me over 1000.00 and it may go right back out and happen again.i would like there to be some kind of a recall because i have searched online and have found numerous other reports for the same thing.it is a serious safety issue.
I was issued a warning by local police that my left rear taillight was not working. This is an led array that has been replaced once before. On investigation, i observed that the taillight only works intermittently, and will flicker on and off when the headlights are on. Further, there is no brightness difference between braking and non braking intensity.
When the headlights are on the brake lights do not work.when the headlights are off the brake lights work. When you turn on the headlights the brake lights go on.the middle brake light in the rear window does work.took car to ford dealer, $149. For diagnosis.dealer spoke with ford and they are willing to make repair at a cost of $100. Rather then $1000. Which is what it would cost if ford did not pay for repair.i noticed that others had the same problem.now i am worried that something else may go wrong with the electrical system.
It has been three weeks since i purchased a 2010 mercury milan with 41,000 miles but last night i discovered both rear brake light illuminated with the headlights on. My profession is in the safety field which leads me to say that if this vehicle was on my job site it would be tagged out of service due to improper safety equipment. I have had issues with ford motor company in the past and even though i do like their products they have to take responsibility and be accountable for what they sell to individuals. There should be a recall for this safety equipment. I will not allow my family to operate this vehicle in it's present condition.
Left rear taillight does not illuminate on depression of the brake pedal.right rear taillight flickers but fully illuminates on depression of the brake pedal.as the lights are led and encased in a housing, the replacement cost approaches $400 per unit.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan.the contact stated the brake lights failed to illuminate accordingly whenever additional exterior lights were illuminated.the dealer diagnosed that both of the tail lights needed to be replaced.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure mileage was 83,000.
My son was almost rear ended on the freeway, which prompted my inspection of our 2010 mercury milan. I found the brake lights work as they should in daylight. When the headlights come on though, the right rear tail light shows the brake lights intensity 100% of the time, and is unaffected by brake pedal application. Left rear brake/tail light, and upper 3rd brake light operate normally.i consider this a major safety concern, especially after researching this led light system. This vehicle shows repeated widespread incidents, exactly as i describe. Some people report both lights malfunctioning.my concern is that it takes a third party to tell you that your tail/brake lights are not operating correctly, so most owners wont know they have a problem. This could be more common to this vehicle than it already appears to be. I only personally know one other person with the same vehicle and they have the same problem !issue is not currently acknowledged by ford, probably because it is a $400 lamp that must be replaced in its entirety.
When headlights are on right brake light remains illuminated at all times.replaced the light and same problem remains.
I purchased this car used from the dealer. After only two days, i was told my brake light is out. While the vehicle was still under warranty, the dealer replaced the right tail light assembly. 9/17/14, the brake lights appear to work,until the head lights come on or are turned on. The left rear brake light does not come on and the right light stays illuminated, as if the brakes are being applied, when the head lights are in use. I am told by the dealer the rear brake light assembly again needs replaced, but will cost $400.00. Obvious defect or malfunction in the safety feature (brake lights).
Tail light recall.led lights have a short and left tail light remain illuminated as if applying the brake
Led taillights are on high (as if brake pedal is depressed) at all times causing other vehicle drivers to not know when the milan is braking.ford dealership states that these are defective led bulbs ($400 replacement cost) which is not covered by the warranty.
On or about 5/20/2013 i noticed a taillight and brake light failure on the right rear taillight assembly.i lookedin the handbook for a bulb number and it was noted that it must be replaced by the dealer.i contacted the local dealer and was informed that this was an led assembly and the whole taillight would need to be replaced.i was further informed that the led's were not the problem , but the ballast in the electrical system that was causing the failure.i was then told that the replacement was $500.00.led's are supposed to last for thousands of hours, unfortunately, judging from the number of complaints on the internet, my situation is not an isolated incident.it is ridiculous to have to pay over $500 to fix a faulty brake/taillight.it then becomes a safety hazard as people may not be able to afford such an expensive fix for what would otherwisebe a $3-4 bulb.the consumer should not have to pay for a poor design and a potential safety hazard.i did contact ford customer service and was told there may be some post-warranty funds available, but that i would need to have the problem diagnosed at the dealer.a service tech diagnosis would cost an additional $110.00 with no guarantee of any financial reimbursement. Now over $600.00 for a brake/taillight.
The rear passenger side tail light has burnt out. The tail light is led and therefore the entire tail light assembly must be replaced. The cost from ford dealership is $428 for only the part not including labor. I have researced several sites, and find this to be a common problem for this make and model of vehicle. Lighting is a safety issue and ford should back up their engineering flaw.
A few times, people driving behind me have beeped at me and i didn't know why other than maybe they were upset i wasn't driving fast enough. Then about two months ago, a police officer pulled me over to warn me my tail light was not working properly and to get it fixed. The outer(quarter panel) ledtail light assembly is not working properly and this could cause an accident from behind. I brought the car to nazareth ford, which stated that the led lights are supposed to last much more than four years, but is not under warranty.
Last year, i was driving down the interstate when a police man pulled me over. He told me that my tail light was out, and gave me a warning. Whenever i got home, i asked my husband to check out the my tail light, and he told me that nothing was wrong. I checked as well, and sure enough, the problem fixed itself. A few weeks later, a family member who was following me called to let me know that the light was out. I took my car to a ford dealer, and they explained to me that the entire fixture (on both sides) was defective and that their was a short. He then informed me that it would cost well over $1,000 to cover the repair costs. I still haven't had the opportunity (or the money) to make this repair, and after doing a lot of research, it seems that there are many others who are experiencing the same issues. I am also having problems with my throttle (i will be filing a separate complaint for this). Because of these two incidents, i am very disappointed in the mercury milan, and i hope that this vehicle gets recalled.
The date of the occurrence is unknown. The car currently has 24,000 miles on it. The left tail light does not work and the left brake light does not work. The right brake light works when the headlights are off (as in daylight) but does not work when the headlights are on (as at night). The right tail light works when the headlight switch is on but is very bright, indicating that the brake light is on, even though the brake pedal is not depressed. Obviously, there is a defect in the circuitry. All of the long-life led bulbs couldn't have failed at once. The dealer wants to charge us $550 per light unit to supposedly correct the problem. This is a serious design defect safety issue and should result in a recall.
It first started with the passenger rear tail light. The led brakelight failed, led lights are known to last for 20+ years and these lasted about four. After that a bulb went out, when the bulb was replaced it still didn't resolve the issue. There are two components to the tail light, an inner light attached to the rear trunk and a outer light on the actual rear body. First, the inner passenger went out, then the inner driver's and then the outside passenger. Now finally, the outside driver's side has started flickering. Doing minor google searches immediately returns results with other vehicles having the same problem.
The passenger side led brake light assembly is constantly illuminated as if the brakes are applied but they are not.makes a safety hazard as it is distracting to drivers that are following and they may misjudge my braking.this is the second assembly that i have had go faulty.the first was the day i bought it but the dealer replaced the $400 part for free.
I have a 2010 mercury milan with 40,000 miles on it.recently someone pointed out to me that the driver-side brake light is continuously activated.consequently when braking, drivers behind me are only notified by the right and center brake lights.it seems to only happen when the headlights are on. My research shows this to be a common issue with the 2010 mercury milan with some having both brake lights malfunctioning.diagnosis says it is a faulty led brake light assembly, which would imply a bad circuit board. This is a serious safety hazard and should be recalled.i contacted ford about it and they directed me to a dealer saying they, (ford) would probably pay for the repair.after i contacted the dealer, ford changed their mind and said that since i didn't buy the car new, they didn't consider me a "loyal'" ford customer and will not cover any of the cost.it seems ford is only concerned about the safety of their "loyal" customers.
L e d module for the rear brake lights stays on all the time, bright.
Rear brake lights stay on when headlights are on.rear tail light assembly must be replaced.very common problem apparently.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the rear driver side brake light would flicker on and off or would fail intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 35,700 and the current mileage was 40,200.
Due to a defective connection both of my tail lights are out in my 2010 mercury milan.the dealer has told me that replacing the whole tail light assembly, as that is the only option at $400.00 a piece is "normal maintenance". When i contacted ford i was told the same thing, that it was normal to have to replace tail lights. While i agree, these are led lights that have a bad connection and ford has had many complaints on this same issue. Ford refuses to fix an issue that had to do with defective parts, the cost and the fords refusal to fix this issue, equates to huge safety issues.
Right rear tail lamp / brake light assembly inop again. This is my 3 assembly that has failed in 15 months. It is an led assembly, it costs $375.00 for the part. You can't replace a bulb. This should be covered under a safety recall.
At approximately 9:00pm i was pulled over by apolice officer who advised me that my passenger side brake light was not working and in fact was staying on all the time.after researching this problem i have found that many, many owners have this same issue yet ford/mercury has not recalled the affected part.obviously this is a potential hazard as drivers behind me may be confused when looking at my brake lights but not seeing a change.also, i assume that this will affect my vehicle passing inspection inmy state.apparently this part costs over $400.00 to replace and many people cannot afford this expenditure.
Both tail lamps illuminate irregularly.sometimes one will stay on all the time as if braking, other times one will come on ,but flicker and still other times they won't work at all.while driving, i have no idea if they are working correctly or not.i am concerned that i will get hit from behind due to this problem.
I was in the middle of making a left turn, when my engine suddenly stalled. I lost all acceleration in the middle of my turn, while oncoming traffic was approaching. My check engine light came on with code p2112. I had to pull over, shut the car completely off, and it was fine for only a few more miles. The problem is ongoing and the vehicle is not safe to drive on a highway. Intermittently, at speeds of 30 mph and higher, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and showed signs of throttle body failure. The consumer stated all the symptoms he experienced, were consistent with the nhtsa action number pe13003. Also, the brake lights did not activate, when applied. Updated 11/05/13
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the rear passenger side brake light failed to work. The vehicle was under warranty and was taken to the dealer who stated that the rear light assembly needed to be replaced. The warranty covered the repairs, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.mailed out 01/13/15*ljupdated 02/02/15*lj
There is a serious brake light malfunction on 2010 mercury milan's that ford dealerships are charging owners up to $1000 to fix, even on cars that are barely out of warranty! on these vehicles, when the headlights are on, the brake lights are continuously on, whether or not your foot is on the brake pedal! hundreds of complaints are flooding the internet with this problem and ford is turning a blind eye to it! and, there is no recall!! we just found out we had this problem today after taking our car for its first ever inspection in the delaware lanes (which it failed due to the malfunction). This is a huge safety hazard. Owners of these cars are basically riding around with no indication of braking when their lights are on and no knowledge that they have a problem. People are going to be getting rear-ended in large numbers. Is it going to take people getting injured and/or killed like in the recent gm ignition key fiasco before ford takes any action? something needs to be done.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan.the contact stated that the rear brake light illuminated.the contact mentioned that there were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel.the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted.the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the tail light assembly needed to be replaced.the failure mileage was 49,500 and the current mileage was 50,000.updated 8/12/14the consumer stated the right stop light was always on with the tail light. Then the right side light went out.updated 09/23/14
Led tail lights will flicker or not work at all - in doing a little research i found out it is a pretty common problem with these - ford will offer no help with this known safety defect.

Power steering hydraulic locked on me twice while driving first time i was on express way and hit wall 2nd time i knew what was about to happen and of course steering locked and i almost crashed again this needs to be addressed because my research shows me folks have died from this but because it's not enough deaths it won't be recalled this is crazy why recall 2011 that has same part and not 2010
I started my car to go to work and the power steering assist light came on and my steering wheel is locked.
I received a recall notice (15v-793) from ford in january 2016 about the canister purge valve, vapor canister, gas tank, and power control module on my 2010 mercury milan.i took it to the ford dealer and they did an electronic test and said it was ok.one month later the check engine light came on and the code said the problem was the prior recalled canister purge valve.took it back to the dealer and they did their electronic test again and said it was the gas tank fill tube valve.four days later the check engine light came on again and the codes again said it was the canister purge valve.this time the dealer did as i asked them and mechanically checked the valve, and discovered that it and the vapor canister had failed.however, ford will not cover the repair.is this allowed?i will mail a letter with more detail.after researching the issue, this particular valve commonly failed by sticking open or closed and the only way to detect it, was to do a mechanical test by taking the hoses off and checking for pressure or vacuum. The dealer did not perform the test properly. Updated 05/31/16.
My wife and i own a 2010 mercury milan. One day last week, as my wife was leaving work, the car suddenly lost power, sputtered and was not able go faster than 10 mph. The car went into the "limp home" mode. We subsequently took the car to the ford dealership where the problem was diagnosed as a "networking problem" and was told that the throttle body must be replaced! now, i am told that there is a nationwide shortage of this part and it will be at least two weeks before the part will arrive! the dealer estimates that the repair will cost $750. I respectfully request that your agency issue a recall on these vehicles. I believe that this throttle body defect has produced a life-safety hazard and should be addressed quickly! thank you.

2010 mercury milan hybrid suffered front end damage due to surge acceleration during parking. No floormat problem involved. .unexplained rapid movement while brakes engaged. Damage to front end substantial but no one hurt. Mercury dealer/geico in process of repairing. Geico feels recall applies to this model.
I was traveling 70 mph when my car stalled out, the wrench light came on and i had to coast to safety.this happened again the next morning going approximately 10 mph.car was towed to dealership and it was diagnosed as the throttle body control.
I was driving approx 60 mph on a highway. My car "jerked" forward once, and i completely lost the ability to accelerate.after moving to the shoulder of the road, my car was shaking and difficult to put in park due to the shaking.car would start up again, but did not have the ability to accelerate except in low drive.would not accelerate except in low. Had to towed to the dealership, where the throttle body needed replaced and kam reset. This is a 2010 car, fairly new.
While driving at a speed of 55 miles per hour on november 2, 2013, and at a speed of 50 miles per hour on november 4, 2013, my 2010 mercury milan abruptly stalled and i had to pull over instantly on both occasions in order to prevent being hit from behind. On these two occasions, the car had to be re-started. I brought the vehicle in for service as soon as possible on wednesday, november 6, to correct the problem, which was a defective throttle body that had to be replaced. The throttle body was no longer under the general warranty and not included in the power train warranty.
Pulled out of driveway, attempted to accelerate, engine sputtered the no power.able to restart engine, attempted to accelerate again, engine sputtered again then completely lost power.engine check light came on and remained on.
I had stopped at lights and after accelerating up to apprx 45mph the car become unresponsive when pushing on gas.my first thought was my transmission had went out.i coast over to the shoulder and then the car begin to vibrate and run rough so i shut car down.the "wrench " light came on. I had car towed in and after 3 days and the dealership talking to ford it was decided it was going into the "limp" mode.the fix was a new throttle body.the throttle body part was backed ordered. Per the dealership there was a change on the throttle bodt part due to issues and was back ordered.parts took about 2 weeks to get and car was repaired and i have been driving for 2 weeks with no issue. I do understand that the car has 80000 miles on it but i seen on the internet where the circuit board and this throttle body had been a on going complaint.
Immediately after entering a main highway, the engine seemed to die yet idled around 1000 rpm.the dash lights came on, the engine sputtered, but wouldn't increase speed and vehicle wouldn't move more than 2 or 3 miles per hour.after getting it off road and turning ignition off for a couple of minutes, it started and drove fine.
6/26/2013 - driving on heavily traveled road with congestion.car started lurching and felt like it was starving for fuel.wrench symbol lit on dashboard.vehicle continued to move but at a drastically reduced rate.able to pull over with near misses with accident.stopped and restarted car, all indicators were cleared and was able to get home.6/27/2013 - symptoms happened again.
The car lost all acceleration on the highway.i was driving 65 in the middle lane and had to get over to the shoulder with no way to accelerate. The wrench warning light appeared on the dash.turned the car off and restarted it and it worked fine for three days.took it to the dealership and it is the throttle body going bad.this costs $420.00 to replace.this is a terrible hazard as the only thing you can do is hope to coast to the shoulder of the road safely.
I was driving on the northway preparing to get in the right lane to exit and i lost all speed, no acceleration was possible but i still had radio/a/c, etc. I was able to get over and stop the car and when i put it in park it "sputtered" until i shut the engine off entirely. I waited a few moments and turned the engine back on and it started fine and then drove fine the rest of my drive. When i got back to work i researched this problem online and was surprised at the number of complaints for the same issue. Everyone had taken their car to a dealership or mechanic and could not figure it out. No warning lights came on in the dash. Finally after reading so many of the same complaints one car owner stated that a diagnosis resulted in code p2111 (faulty throttle body). I'm concerned about driving this car and having it happen again. I drive on a fast 3 lane highway about 20 miles each way to work and it's not always very easy to get over to safety. After seeing this has been investigated in another state i am hopeful it results in a recall so this problem can be properly addressed and fixed. Please help!
This has happened to me so many times and i really don't deserve to have to come out of pocket and pay for this. My car is still under a power train warranty bug seems they do not cover a throttle body replacement. I was driving up i -20 going at least 75 mph and the car looses all acceleration and as i pull over it starts to shake , so i cut it off and crank if up again and it drives perfect until it decides to do it again. Dealership told me it would cost 500.44 to replace the throttle body and milan's are having this issue. I'm so disappointed in ford. Recall recall recall before someone gets hurt or die. We need to start a class a law suit.
Driving at highway speeds vehicle stalls out without warning. When attempting restart engine light and "orange wrench" light turn on. Vehicle does eventually restart.
Driving car started to shake acted like it wanted to die check engine light came one and little wrench lightthis happened out of the blue no warning or anything one second car running fine the next will not accelerate?
2010 mercury milan with 3.0 liter v-6 build date march 2010. Car went into limited limp mode while it was being driven at less than 30 mph. This has happened on three occasions. Each time the engine drops to a rough idle at 500 to 900 rpm and the "wrench" light is illuminated. Engine does not respond to throttle input. Car speed drops drastically but steering and brakes appear to operate normally. (engine is still running an close to normal idle speeds.) engine does not produce enough power to go up the slightest of inclines. After restarting, the engine the condition clears and car drives normally. Portable obdii scan tools do not indicate any dtc codes. Dealer replaced throttle body mechanism due to an intermittent short in the position sensing circuit. Dealer kept old unit due to core charge. This is a safety concern in that under many traffic conditions the car may be hit from behind or unable to move to a safe shoulder out of the traffic flow.
On 6/12/13 and 6/13/13 there were 4 incidents of sudden loss of power.two occurrences were turning after stopping at a traffic light and two occurrences were from driving straight ahead on a city street.in all instances there was a sudden loss of power, the car did not respond to depressing the accelerator petal.the engine did not stop but seemed to shutter.fortunately the traffic each time was light and i was able to steer the car to a safe location where i turned the engine off and restarted the engine.after a engine restart the problem went away.if this had happened during a peak traffic period or on a crowed freeway the results could have been a major crash.
Driving approximately 30 mph, the car coasted to a stop and the wrench showed on the dashboard.waited a short while, restarted and it was okay.did notice some lurching and the car felt like it was in the wrong gear, prior to the second incident on 10/07/20.driving through an intersection at 30 mph, wrench showed on dashboard and car slowed to a crawl.i had to make it through the busy intersection and off ramp from a highway in order to safely get the car off the road.i could have been rear-ended both times, to say nothing about the fear of your car just conking out in the dark at 5:30am.the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty expired may 27, 2013... And my current mileage is 35,581 miles!!!!!!!!!!111 days over the months and 419 miles under the warranty.... So, i am paying around $300+ to have this fixed.with all the exact complaints as happened to others, i am surprised ford did not send a notice to owners to get it fixed or face the potential of being involved in a crash...thank you.
While in the passing lane on interstate 81, the throttle body caused my vehicle to enter "limp mode". The engine rpm immediately reduced to idle and i coasted from the passing lane to the right shoulder. The engine continued to idle so i drove to the first available exit, entered a service station and shut the engine down. I called my local ford dealer and they told me the throttle body replacement would not be covered since the vehicle warranty had expired.
Car died multiple times on highway.i pulled over each time, turned off key, and restarted the car and proceeded. Dealer said it was a fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump. Car still dies.o'reilly's says it is the throttle body.i am having trouble finding the part. Car is not safe and i need it fixed or replaced.
Driving in city traffic when the car began to stall. Almost rear ended by the car behind me.wrench light came on and the car stopped.i turned it off and then back on and was able to creep to a shoulder when it stalled out again.$500 repair and $55 tow.my mechanic told me the ford motor co. Was well aware of the problem and that it has been happening when the mileage gets around 50,000 miles.this is inexcusable.i'm going to sue them in magistrates court on monday.
Was driving vehicle on expressway about 60 mph in fast lane, lost all acceleration.i was still trying to accelerate and the speed was dropping and i had to cross three lanes of traffic to get to the side of the road.the wrench light was on and i turned the car off.i decided to try to move a little father up to a wider shoulder so i started the car again and the wrench light was out and it seem to run ok.i was very blessed that i moved to the side without being hit by all the big trucks and cars around me.the dealer tells me it is the throttle and i do not have extended warranty and my warranty has run out.i am very concerned as i see there are other complaints of this nature with this car.i could have been run over by a truck or caused a lot of cars to crash and kill a lot of people when this happened.i transport grandchildren four days a week in this car and i am very concerned that this has not been recalled and fixed.my last mercury i had 13 years and never had such a scare. What will it take for ford to do something about this?a rear end collision with a fire to kill a lot of people on the expressway?
This has happened to me many times over the last month at least 12 times.this occurs at various speeds,the car will stall or nearly stall.i am unable to accelerate.i have to coast to a safe location turn the key off put the car in park and restart the car. Luckily the car has restarted everytime.the wrench warning light comes on after the near stall,but goes off after i restart the car. When i come to the stop the engine seems to be trying to run but has no power and the idle is very rough.i went to the dealer and they said it sounds like the throttle body.this seems to be a know problem but i don't see a recall on it? when it goes into the near stall i have no acceleration and puts me in a very dangerous position as i try to jockey to a safe location with no power.
Car suddenly stalled in intersection with cross lane traffic and on mass transit trolley track. Move to other side of intersection and restarted fine, then stalled again on highway multiple times.pulled vehicle over each time and it restarted, yet stalled again after a short amount of time. Check engine light was on steady (non-blinking). Had vehicle towed to ford dealership would indicated the throttle body was bad and must be replaced.
I was driving on the interstate at 72 miles per hourin my 2010 mercury milan when the car lost all power.i was able to coast to the shoulder without interfering with other traffic. It was very frightening and i was very fortunate that traffic was not close and i was able to maneuver off the road safely. Since this first episode my mercury milan has done this another 3 times.
Vehicle randomly sputters then the throttle completely stops working (dangerous condition at speed) and i have to coast to the side of the road while it is constantly sputtering and then have to put it in park, turn off the ignition and then turn it back on which appears to reset it.took it to dealership over a month ago and they are still waiting for the part (on back order).called ford and they finally filed a case number, but still could not give me a date for when the part will be available.fyi yesterday it happened about 7 times going to work and another 6 on the way home.
Car would occasionally stall, then restart.would become more frequent over time until car would stall after only driving a block.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, there was a fuel odor and leaking fuel.the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure vehicle was 54,000.
Driving down the highway through town and vehicle died multiple times in the middle of the street causing me to narrowly avoid an accident with my three small children in the car. Upon further inspection of the throttle body assembly, i discovered that the problem is a $20.00-$60.00 electric motor that ford uses to run the throttle body the throttle body is not strong enough to do the job for a very long period of time causing the throttle body to go out at around 50000 - 60000 miles. I was a mechanic for ford for 7 years before joining the army and have seen this issue with this exact model throttle body plenty of times. Ford could easily sell the replacement electric motor for the price listed above, but instead they prefer to price gouge their customers by forcing them to pay over $200.00 for the whole new throttle body assembly. Also according to our local ford parts dealer it is such a common part that needs replaced that the keep 3-4 on hand at all times.
I was trying to enter the freeway on the ramp when the car lost power. No throttle was present and the engine was slowly idling but very roughly.pulled over and turn ignition off. It started right up as if nothing was wrong. The problem occurs every 2 - 3 weeks but gets worse and harder to keep engine running properly after occurrence. Now check engine light comes on along with the wrench and the engine completely shuts off.the vehicle is now in the shop for $600 throttle body replacement.
I was driving down a main street heading directly into the free way interstate. Once i approached the interstate i was caught the light.... I then began to take off once it turned green. I reach about 20mph and my car jerked and the wrench icon came on. I then noticed i had no power and no where to go because my car never got a good speed... I almost got hit twice and held up traffic... How embracing seeing that i have a perfectly nice car.once i got it home( which took 3hrs driving at 10mph and cutting off) i took the car to my auto shop and informed me on a recall for this problem.... But guess what? the dealership said not for me car....if their is a recall on this part.. What makes my car different.? so i ended up paying $300 bucks in repairs, losing $200 work day.... Total loss....$500 on a part that is on recall... This is bull...
Started my car up and it said power steering failed..i cut the car off and waited then it went off...as i was headed to work the airbag light came on for the passenger side..i pulled into the store turned the car off a while and started it back up the light went off before leaving work the power steering message popped back up i once again turned off the car for a while...i manage to make it home but a mile from my house the airbag light once again came on.. Please check into this..i love my life and the life of my loved ones driving like this is very dangerous and this is my only means of transportation.
The first incident occurred while traveling on a highway going almost 60 mph when the cruise control stopped and the car slowed and when you pushed the gas petal it did nothing. We slowed and tried to pull to the side of the road, as the car was almost to a stop it started jerking and sputtering almost dying. We put it in park and turned the engine off. We turned the engine back on and it started just fine then this same thing continued to happen every few miles. Check engine light was on so we took it in to have a computer hooked up to see what was wrong but the check engine light had turned off so they were unsure. The problem seemed to just go away for about a week and then it happened again and we got it in and hooked up to a computer and got the codes which we were informed meant we needed the throttle body replaced and it was a common problem with these cars and to contact a ford dealer. Since this last incident it has happened multiple times causing us to not be able to drive the car even a few blocks without it happening 3-4 times. We are now without a vehicle as it is not only unsafe to drive but very inconvenient to have to stop and go a million times to make a short drive. This is ridiculous and from all i have researched it a huge problem for many owners of these and similar cars! this is dangerous and should be recalled and those with issues should not be responsible for making these repairs!
Several incidents within a 10 day period where the care would just die while driving.last incident took place while on the highway. The car just all of a sudden dies and looses power steering and control.car has to be coasted to a stop then will restart.this is my wife's car and my daughter and her were on their way to a practice when the last incident took place.initially i thought it might be bad fuel.i took it to the ford dealer who said this was not covered under warranty and said the replacement for the throttle body and vapor management would cost approx $800.00.looking at articles posted this is a common problem and should have been recalled.
While driving on a busy city street my car suddenly lost engine power causing the vehicle to slow rapidly. The motorcyclist following behind my car narrowly missed hitting the rear of the car and the vehicle behind the motorcyclist swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid the motorcycle and my car causing vehicles in the oncoming traffic lane to also swerve to avoid an accident. The 2010 milan continued to have the loss of engine power over the next two days and when taken to the dealership the problem was diagnosed as a defective throttle body. The loss of engine power and the sudden deceleration caused by the defective throttle body poses a significant threat to the safety of the vehicle and to other motorists. Ford is aware of the issue and needs to correct this problem before someone is injured or suffers a loss of life.
Pulling on to a busy street the vehicle lost all power. We were nearly rear ended and had to deal with an agitated driver. The vehicle would idle but had no power. This allowed us to move to the side of the road. After a period of the time the vehicle was restarted and performed normally. Although this problem happened repeatedly before we made it home. Autoserv, 40 e main st., tilton nh confirmed that is was a defective throttle body. Contact with the ford regional rep. Showed that of the 3 year / 30,000 mile bumper to bumper this vehicle had 22,000 miles and 3 years and 2 weeks. Thus there was no ford restitution.personally, with my experience above, i believe this is a very serious safety concern.
While traveling at 35 mph car would not accelerate.had to shut car off and restart ran ok until stopped at intersection then car keep dying.would always restart ok but at times would have to put car in netrural and rev engine to keep from stalling.have researched on inter net and seems to be same problem with throttle body.i have taken the body off and cleaned it but problem still occurs.
My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway i got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as i was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as i was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while i was driving from one second to the next i got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While operating the vehicle, the service light would illuminate. After refueling, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel purge valve was faulty and would erroneously remain open. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was inspected per nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system) in april of 2016, but was no longer eligible for the repair. The contact indicated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 108,000.
This vehicle (mercury milan 2010) stalled intermittently at stop signs and traffic lights.stalling out more frequently, i notified my mechanic, who informed me, this is a current problem with ford vehicles and ford may be initiating a car recall for the hundreds of thousands of cars of which the throttle problem is occurring.i am repairing the vehicle on my own dime for our own safety, with the intention to file a reimbursement for this problem when ford (mercury) will at a later time, send a recall out for this extreme impairment to the propulsion of the vehicle.
I received a recall notice for my vehicle and i looked it up with my vin number and it said i had a recall on my vehicle. I'm uploading the notice
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the fuel inlet and check engine warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline), which she received. The vehicle was serviced by holman ford (3641 nj-42, turnersville, nj 08012,888-449-0296), but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and stated that nothing could be done since the vehicle had already been serviced. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
Returning from vacation to black hills, sd going east on i-90 at 75 mph.engine instantly lost power andi pulled off on highway shoulder. Engine did not shut off but "wrench" light came on and the car startedbucking. Vehicle was transported to ford dealer in pierre, sd.due to holiday they did not look at it until 5/28/13. Problem was determined to be failed throttle body. Fortunately it was daytime and thru open country and i was able to pull off safely. Ford needs to find out what causes the failure and make it right. There is a high risk potential. Imagine if this occurred at night or if i was in a middle lane of a multiple lane highway going thru an urban area with high speed bumper to bumper traffic, i suspect that we would have been rear ended with potential serious consequences as a result of the instant deceleration. Sitting by the side of i-90 with cars, semi's etc. Whizzing by at 75-80 mph was risky enough.
First of all this has happened on several occasions. Driving down the interstate the car will stall and begin to shake and puts a wrench icon on the dash, the vehicle has no response to the acceleration pedal. I have to pull over and sh u think the car off a few minutes and then go again. It has also happened several times while pulling across traffic from a stop, one time nearly getting me hit from oncoming traffic. It is impossible to tell when or where this will happen. I have called ford and was denied a repair because my vin was not on the recall list for the throttle body even though it has the same problem as the ones covered. I have had the diagnostic test and received codes that match as well.
Stalled three times, without warning, while traveling at 50 mph.almost rear ended each time.vehicle 38 month old and less then 34,000 miles.replace throttle body.please have ford check into this before someone gets hurt.
While passing three semi trucks in the third lane of a highway at 70 mph, the engine powercut out. Navigating across three lanes of highway through multiple vehicles was terrifying. My life was placed with in jeopardy, yet the ford motor company refuses to recognize its throttle body control problem as a safety issue.
The car loses acceleratingpower at random time and speeds. It has put me in a dangerous spot more than once. Car will lose power in heavy traffic. Car is currently in the shop and has a repair time of 2 to 4 weeks due to the unavailability of the part(enormous backorder).
I work for the drug enforcement administration and my official government vehicle a 2010 ford mercury milan stalled while driving on the highway at approximately 60 to 65 per hour. The car stalled and i had to pull over. I took the vehicle to the mechanic and was advised that there is a problem with the throttle body which causes the vehicle to stall. The part is on back order with ford and a internet search for this problem is pretty wide spread. The stalling of a vehicle traveling on the highway is a serious hazard to the public. I don't know if this problem has been addressed with the ford motor company.
As i entered the freeway at 60 mph begin to stall and then losing power i put my flashers on hoping i don't get run over the car stops no power to steer and i'm at the mercy of speeding vehicles. I'm on a fixed income.and do not have the funds. I purchased the vehicle from town east ford mesquite texas.
While driving, the car loses power.it is dangerously crippled as it has to be stopped completely and put in the park position before it will restart.when restarting if i take my hand off the key it will continue to try and start the engine until it starts. The check engine light either comes on and goes off or fails to come on..
Driving at 45mph on road, maintaining constant speed, car goes into limp mode, no throttle control. Wrench light comes on. Pulled over to side of the road, put car into park and waited a few seconds, car re-ignited and was able to get home. This happened again 2 times the next day in route to the grocery store which is less than 4 miles away. It has consistently been happening nearly every time i drive it. I have stalled out at 2 intersections which is very dangerous. I just had the car diagnosed with electronic throttle body failure. 136.00 later, and i have ordered the new part, but was told it could take 2-3 weeks before they are available and that if i saved my receipt i will be reimbursed by ford/mercury at recall. I am afraid to drive the car at this point because there is no telling when it will just stall again. Really need my car to get to work!
I was on fl turnpike at 70 mph,traffic very heavy .i lost power and had to coast to the shoulder from left lane . Almost got ran over ,but thank god i didn't .i cut the motor off.restarted it .i got my speed up to 70mph .it surged a few times .ran ok too home . This could be a life or death thing . I wonder if anyone has been hurt because of this . I will call ford today and get it fixed .
Sudden loss of acceleration or ability to drive.immediate display of icon showing mechanical problem.towed to dealer, where throttle body failure was diagnosed.this incident occurred on a treacherous stretch of i-40 entering north carolina, where shoulder is very narrow, and we barely escaped injury and/or death.
While driving on i-95 at 70 mph suddenly lost power.was able to coast onto an exit ramp.after several minutes was able to restart the start teh vehicle and drove a short distance on city street at 45 mph when vehicle decelerated again and stalled.when called dealer indicated it was likley a failed throttle body, suggesting it is not an unusual problem.when towed to the shop, they did determin the probelm was teh throttle body and replaced it.repair was $550. Fortunately this occcured during the day, but was on a heavily traveled highway and could have resulted in an accident or injury with the sudden loss in speed.

I was driving on the highway, on my way home when my car seemed liked it stalled. The wrench image on the dash board appeared, and i coasted my car off of the highway because i was coming up to an exit. Once my car slowed down to about 10-15 mph the car seemed like it was actually jumping, or bucking and trying to drive at a very slow pace. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, and shut the care off. I restarted the car, and the samething happened with the motor running rough, and the image of the wrench on my dash appearing. I shut the car off again, and let it sit for a couple of minutes, and restarted the car while holding the throttle down, and the car seemedto function fine after that. This also happened the next day on my way to work same exact scenario just a different place on the highway.
Intermittent problem which occurred at variable speeds (25 mph, 40 mph, 60 mph) with rapidly increasing frequency in the week before the throttle body was replaced. While driving, the engine seemed to shift out of gear. However, there was no increase in rpm in response to the accelerator. Pulled to side of road with very low rpm, the vehicle was turned off and then restarted each time without problem.
Car will lose power at any giving time or speed above 40mph. You must then try to pull off road and turn off and restart. It would only do this once a week, but now it's doing multiple times a day. Dealer will not address it as a warranty problem due to fact it has over 36000 miles on it. Tried to order replacement throttle body thru them but it on back order.
Driving down the car stalled and sputtered pulled over and it restartedfine drink half mile and did it again almost go hit by a car this tim i happen 5 months ago and i was almost rear ended was told my ford dealership that is the throttle body ford issued a extended warranty but will not replace it unless the car fails which i think is bs if my family is hurt i'll be filing suit against ford and the dealership.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the check fuel warning indicator illuminated and there was an abnormal fuel odor. The vehicle was taken to auto zone were it was diagnosed that the canister purge valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to the quirk ford dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck would need to be replaced. A year prior to the failures, the vehicle was taken to be repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was inspected and found to have no leaks. The software was updated. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
Throttle body went bad.car unable to accelerate.was able toget car to dealer after shutting off and turning back on several times which resets affected parts.four other 2010 milans at the dealership for the same problem.
Takata recall . We were notified years ago, still passenger side air bag not replaced.now ford is telling us not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. Ford had ignored all our correspondence. It's rediculous, will never purchase another ford product.
Multiple times & variations, but always w/the same result.at any given moment, wrench light would come on & vehicle would lose all acceleration ability while it surged/idled very roughly. Each time, i pulled vehicle off road to the best of my ability, put it in park (would then idle rough, but surge less). Turned vehicle off, waited 5-10min, restarted & vehicle would function close to normally (minimal small surges while driving).while veh was malfunctioning, i could hold gasoline pedal to the floor w/no response. Could not manually shift (i have an automatic shiftable) past 2nd gear & veh would not progress forward - except if the engine surged. This problem happened more, with less time between failings as the day progressed until i could finally get to a populated area/small town. It is also worth mentioning, both mechanics that checked my vehicle for me could not find any "history" in my codes.however, the first ford dealership was able to do a special check that found a "throttle body failure". They cleaned the throttle body (parts are back ordered till 9/24/13) & sent me on my way hoping that would fix the problem. It did not, so i stopped at the very next town after it happened again & left my mercury milan with a ford dealership. Each time this happened it was really quite scary as traffic around me had no idea i was about to have catastrophic failure. Thankfully all drivers involved were quick enough to avoid rear ending me.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While stationary, the vehicle leaked fuel onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to kaiser miller ford in collegeville, pennsylvania. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part for the repair was on backorder for nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 170,000.
Electronic throttle body failed as i was driving on the interstate.car lost all throttle control, idled down to 1000 rpm, and rapidly decelerated in heavy interstate traffic.had to pull over immediately.
I was entering the interstate at 60 mph when my car jerked, and lost response of the acceleration. The throttle control/transmission and check engine light came on, so i restarted the car and only the check engine light remained. I was able to exit the interstate and took my car to a auto store to run a check, was told the throttle actuator control system was at fault. Noticed that this is a problem that many owners of this year make and model have. Hopefully mercury will recall this part.
Vehicle stalls out at random times.goes into limp home mode.seems to be a common problem with throttle body.would be nice if ford fixed this and got parts out.
While driving at 50-60 mph the car would start to slow and thentherewould be no throttle response, this happened 4 times in 40 miles, and luckily i was able to pullof theroadwithnoproblems.afterthe car sat for 5-10 minutes i was able to get it goingandthenabout 10miles laterit wouldhappen again.got itto a forddealer and found outit isa bad throttlebody.this partis on national back orderwithno ideawhenavailable.had torenta car to get homethatday at a costof $200.
While driving my car on the interstate in a construction zone the engine lost all power and dropped to around 1000 rpm no matter if i pressed on the accelerator or not.i was nearly rear-ended by a semi and there was no emergency lane for me to pull the car over to.it costed for about 3/4 of a mile until i could pull behind some orange barriers.after shutting it off and calling roadside assistance i restarted the car and it was fine.i took back roads home without incident.the next day while going 65 on the interstate it happened again but i was prepared for a problem and was able to get to an emergency lane to turn the car off.it restarted fine and drove fine again until the next day when it happened at 20mph on a city street.the dealer has had it for 3 days now and have not identified the issue.
Purchased this car used in july 2012. Is a 2010 and had low miles on it. Dealer claimed vehicle was a lease and was turned in. After driving the car several days, it stalled at stop sign, no engine light appeared. After re-starting, it drove fine. Several weeks later, vehicle again stalled at stop sign. No engine light. Vehicle was brought to dealer where the throttle body was replaced. Several days later, vehicle again stalled at stop light. This has been going on for over 9 months. It may not stall for several weeks. Dealer kept the car for one week, with a mechanic driving it as it was hooked up to portable diagnostic machine. It never stalled, nor did it show any engine lights. Dealer claims they cannot fix it if they do not see any indicators on diagnostic machine. It is no longer under warranty and if i want to continue to pursue this, i have to pay for each trip. Certainly, someone must have an idea of what is causing this as this seems to be a safety issue. I am expecting to be rear-ended any time now.
Twice while travelling at low speed, it dropped into what appeared to be a limp home mode.a restart returned the vehicle to somewhat normal operation, but it seemed to be running just ever so slightly, rough.
Qua daughter driving back and forth to work, vehicle sputters and loses all speed no throttle response. Has to pull over and restart engine then proceed with caution.unit cuts off every 15 to 20 miles.ford mechanic says its the throttle body assembly of course it's not under warranty.
While driving 50 mph on a highway, the vehicle suddenly without warning loss all propulsion and started to sputter violently. I noticed the "wrench" light indicator was illuminated and luckily coasted with no propulsion to a safe area on the highway shoulder to pull over. I shut the engine off for a minute and restarted vehicle as normal and no "indicator light" had illuminated. The vehicle appeared to be operating as normal at this point. Later i had the codes pulled for the incident on my vehicle and was told it indicated a throttle body failure. This occurred 3 times over the last several weeks. After doing a search on the internet, i found numerous incidents of the exact same description i have here. There must be an inherent defect of the part used in these vehicles.
Engine light was on and intermittently smelled gas or got fuel fill check indicator. Upon diagnosticmil p0455 and p0457. Canister purge valve had to be replaced paid $300. Going through my records i found that on april 5,2016, i had a recall 15s34 fuel tank and canister purge valve inspection completed. There was no evidence of cracks or leaks so only recalibration was completed. Now less than 10,000 miles later a replacement was needed. Awaiting review for a refund from ford dealership
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system gasoline) and stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to repair the vehicle. The dealer (stevens jersey city ford, 740 nj-440, jersey city, nj 07304) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Well for starters its throwing a code saying that i have a small fuel leak some where and the 2 is one day i had a flat and after i changed the tire the power steering went out and not only that but the car has a heavy vibration in it and while driving it want to take off either left or right which ended up with me running off the road twice already
Driving to work one morning my car appeared to stall without warning on the incline of a viaduct. It slowed dramatically without me braking, so there were no brake lights to warn other drivers. I was fortunate the driver behind me was paying attention and did not run into me. I made an emergency maneuver to get off the road, and called aaa for a tow. While on hold with aaa, i restarted my car. It appeared to be working normally, so i went to work without incident.later in the day my car seemed to stall again on the way to lunch. This was in a remote area with no other traffic. Again it restarted, and worked fine on my return to work.while driving home it happened a third time in a construction zone. I had to pull over near huge rollers that were leveling newly laid asphalt. Luckily it started again and i merged back into construction traffic and drove home.i called the ford dealer i bought the car from. They told me over the phone it sounded like another bad throttle body. I got a ride to work the next day, and took it in as soon as i could get an appointment. The ford dealer replaced the throttle body, and i have had no problems since.
Leaving work for the day last friday, june 7, 2013 my mercury milan went into limp mode, the wrench warning light illuminated on my dash and today i had to have the throttle body assembly replaced.just last week my husband had to have the same part replaced in his 2010 ford focus ses.seems to be a problem with all the 2010 ford cars.he had to pay $800 for his.luckily i purchased an extended warranty on mine and only have to pay the $100 deductible.sure would like to get this $900 refunded when you recall all the 2010 fords.thank you!
While driving on a country road at 50 mph on mon. May 27th, the car seemed to stall, the gas pedal didn't work & we had to pull over asap. After stopping & restarting the car, we were able to proceed home.at the time, i thought it was a fluke.then on may 30th it happened again on my street going around 30 mph, so i called the dealer and they said i could come in the next day. Later that same day, i was in rush hour traffic on rt 22(busy highway) & it happened while i was going 60 in the left lane,this was very scary as it was difficult to get over to the shoulder with so much traffic.i took my car to the ford dealer on friday may 31st & they said there were no alerts on the car, that they would do a software upgrade that would hopefully fix the issue.the receipt they gave me listed that a throttle body was needed, & it was on back order. I have been trying to minimize using the car, but on june 15th i had to go to my niece and nephew's dance recital in south nj. While driving home on 295 (major highway) going around 65 the car died again.i was able to proceed after restarting the car, but didn't make it home again without it happening another time. I was making a left turn at an intersection light and the engine died. Thank god it wasn't a wider intersection or i would not have been able to coast through.at this point this car is unusable and is a death trap waiting to happen.i called another dealer, and the part is on back order there as well. This is clearly a major problem with defective throttle bodies in the 2010 milan that should be recalled, i would like to know how this problem will be rectified.the proof is in the fact that they cannot make the part fast enough to fix the broken cars.the two dealers i dealt with are aware of this widespread problem, obviously due to a manufacturing defect with the throttle body assembly. I have <60k miles.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the fuel tank fractured and leaked fuel. The contact stated that the vehicle had been at an independent mechanic for four weeks now. The vehicle was taken to legacy ford (413 industrial blvd, mcdonough, ga 30253, (770) 914-2800) one year ago to be repaired per an unknown recall. The dealer stated that there was no failure with the vehicle and diagnostic testing did not reveal a code regarding a vapor lock failure that may have damaged the fuel tank. The contact began to smell a fuel odor on september 25, 2019 and she noticed a huge puddle of fuel on the driveway. She took the vehicle back to the dealer and was shown the stress crack on the fuel tank. The dealer acknowledged that the failure was from the recall repair a year earlier; however, they would have to charge the contact for the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted, but the dealer and contact had not heard back. The failure mileage was unknown.
While traveling at 55mph my vehicle stalled, lost all power and came to a stop at the side of the road.it was restarted several times each time with the wrench symbol illuminated.was only able to drive home at 45mph and the car bucked and stalled two times.will be calling ford for repair.luckily i signed up for the extended service plan when i purchased this vehicle as a certified pre owned car at the dealership.this is obviously a throttle body issue which i will be explaining to the tech's when i bring it in for repair.and more importantly, this is a major safety issue for the occupants of this car and other cars involved if an accident were to occur.
Started vehicle and noticed car jerking and not accelerating correctly. I was stopped at light approx 1/3 mile from start and car died at light , car restarted and made left turn onto busy freeway and car heisitated and stated jerking again with no acceleration. Moved to shoulder of road and called aaa to have car towed....unsafe and unable to continue drive home...15 miles ahead. Ford service pulled code p2111 from dashboard lights and said throttle body was shot...at 38000 miles. No recourse from ford out of warranty 2000 miles . I was charged 198.55 labor and 137.80 parts...total with tax 347.96. They replaced part with a new part number ...obviously they know this is a defective part....no customer compensation.
I was merging onto a highwaygoing about 60 mph. My car suddenly went into an idle and the wrench icon came on in the indicator dash. Luckily, i was able to pull over to the shoulder and no vehicle was behind me. I turned off the car and was then able to accelerate. Later in the day, i was again driving on the highway at about 65 mph. When the same thing happened. I then went directly to a ford dealer. They immediately knew what the problem was and said ford had extended their warranty on this problem to 120,000 miles. This is ridiculous! i am sure someone will and probably have been fatally injured because of this issue.there needs to be a recall!!
Driving freeway at 77 mph when vehicle suddenly started slowing down. Managed to get car over to shoulder of road and tried to get off ramp but wouldn't make it. No lights came on and felt like it was still running at idle. Stepped on gas but wouldn't accelerate in drive or park. Shut vehicle off and started twice before i could get response from stepping on gas. Then took off like nothing wrong. Very dangerous and lucky traffic was light. Had one other incident with car doing same thing but was sitting at traffic light.
The first incident occurred when i was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and i would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before i try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third i was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened i had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once i did get it started i would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode.
I was driving when all of a sudden the engine shutdown leavingme stranded. Didn't want to take any chances so had ittowed to ford garage for repair. They said it was the throttle body and it would be 200.00 for part plus labor and diagnostic charge . This is a 2010 come on ford !!! as a longtime ford owner i am very disappointed.this was the second occurrence ,the first time it started up and i was able to go on my way.
Throttle body failed without warning. Car immediately lost power and had no accelerator response and would only idle. This would have been dangerous had the vehicle not been in an area where it was immediately safe to pull over. Throttle body was changed, the second time it's happened to this vehicle.
Driving down highway car went into limp mode. Had to pull over restart car. Was good for a while now its doing it 2-3 times just driving a couple miles. If car is left idling sometimes it just dies on its own. Trouble code p2111 comes up. Wanted to change the throttle body but they are on national back order.
The car behaves as if it was suddenly put into neutral. When you hit the gas the engine revs, but the transmission does not engage. The wrench and engine lights come on, and the car will sometimes sputter like it is going to shut off completely. The only way to get the car to function normally is to stop the car and turn it off and back on. I have had this happen on major highways and other busy roads. The problem is unpredictable. A mechanic has determined this to be a problem with the throttle body, but the part is on national back order. My car is un-drive-able.
Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 mph, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When i got home after a few restarts i hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! it was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! after reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! a design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for ford !!! i have read too many complaints about the same problem.my car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.
Traveling to work on ih35n in san antonio when all of a sudden i lose all power and the car seems to stall, i turn on my hazards and make my way to the shoulder while praying the other traffic moving at speed doesn't plow into me. Once on the side of the road the car is shuddering and surging forward, restarted the car and everything seemed fine, not even a "check engine" light.same day on the way home from work (ih35s near hwy 281 interchange) and the engine stalls again, at speed on the interstate but even worse now because of the increased traffic that needs to be dodged while i get the car onto a raised shoulder. Restart the car and this time a "cel" i drive to autozone for a code check and it's p2111 stuck throttle body.sunday night car starts stalling every 50-100 feet on a frontage roadof ih10 near callaghan while cresting a hill and no clear sight lines, luckily i was not rear ended. Managed to nurse it, surging forward suddenly and sputtering to a creep, into a la quinta hotel parking lot and await a tow.
Was driving approximately 35 mph. The car began to slow down, and it jerked and hesitated and began to decelerate as it continued the jerking and hesitation. The car would not respond to the accelerator at all. Continued to jerk and slow down and the engine and transmission were not functioning properly.this has now occurred 3 different times in the last two weeks - twice at speeds around 35-40 mph and once at 65 mph. Took it to ford dealership.they say that it is definitely related to the throttle body.waiting to get a new throttle body from ford; but there are none to be had across the whole country.
I was on my way to work and got on the freeway and as i accelerated to the flow of traffic, the car started splutting and i was in the middle lane with a truck close behind me and cars on each side.the speed started to decrease as i pushed on the gas petal with nothing happening. It was as though it ran out of gas and the console lights came on. I panic and tried to work my way to the side of the road.i was able to get over after the truck barely missed pitting me and coasted til the car slowed down and turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started because i knew that it wasn't out of gas, i had a full tank.there was no check engine light on at that time either.i preceded to get back on the freeway and got up to 50 mph and went to the nearest exit and my car repeated the same thing, this time with a jerking motion..that when the check engine light came on.i moved the car to a safer area and called to get it towed.it was place on the a machine that read p2111 and p2112. The auto shop informed me that it was the throttle body.
While driving, the vehicle has a sudden loss of power and the wrench light illuminates on the dash. The vehicle slows to 5/10 mph. If you shut the vehicle off and restart it, everything is fine. These occupancies happens at least once a day sometimes more. When you are in the interstate highway and the car suddenly drops down to 10 mph, you are lucky you don't get hit. The diagnosed repair was a new throttle body. This part is not covered by the extended warranty. The vehicle has been in the shop for 3 weeks waiting for the part from ford. It is on national back order. Does someone have to be run over and killed before this becomes a safety issue?
Stalls (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges.
While driving on the highway 60 mph without warning the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I had no engine control. Was able to shift into neutral and pull over safely onto the shoulder without being rear ended. Engine exhibited rough idle approximately 800 to 900 rpm. The car was in a limp mode.the gas pedal had no effect. Turned the ignition off and restarted the vehicle wrench light turned off and was able to drive the vehicle normally for 5 miles before the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I was able to drive the car home. Connected a scan tool to the obd and no codes were present. The following day driving with the scan tool connected at 40 mph the same symptoms occurred. The scan tool registered code p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. Fortunately i was able to pull safely. Mentioned the issue to the local lincoln dealer and was told this is a common problem with this vehicle and the throttle body assembly needs to be replaced. Was told that the part in on national back order and is not available. This is not acceptable. The problem occurred 6 times within a 10 day period. This car is not safe to drive. The vehicle should be recalled without hesitation and the safety issue resolved.
Car started to slow down sputter lose power no throttle response had to pull off busy rush hour traffic.waited about five minutes restarted car. Went to ford they could not duplicate problem. Searched internet found several similar conditions resulting in faulty throttle body asym. Happened again twice, very dangerous back to dealership they found faulty throttle body, guess what part on national back order need to drive car two to three weeks with this condition not too safe.car has 2.5 engine auto trans.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 20 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the code for the fuel system indicated to inspect the fuel tank and vmv valve. An evaporation test was also performed. The technician reprogrammed the computer; however, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed a second time. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,006.
The fuel tank has a developed a crack.this has been examined by a certified mechanic who concluded the crack is a manufacturing defect and not the result of any sort of road debris or anything striking the tank.the mechanic indicates this type of crack is common in the mercury milan and ford fusion.
I was driving approximately 55 mph. Without warning the car felt as if had jumped out of gear, there was no throttle response. The car began to slow rapidly, a following vehicle had to avoid rear-ending me. The car jerking and hesitating was able to be gradually moved to a location where i could exit the road. The car would not respond to the accelerator at all. The orange wrench symbol appeared in my dash console. After thinking about it for a couple minutes, i turned the engine off, restarted, the problem had corrected itself. The prior day, while braking behind a car, foot on brake, neither foot near or on throttle, the car lurched forward with the throttle overpowering the brake for a second or two causing me to have to apply the brake more aggressively.i did not think about this too much, but after this occurrence this morning i wonder if the two events are related.i called the dealer, while he would not confirm the fact, it seems to be a recurring problem on this issue, a lot of people are complaining on the internet about the issue.i suppose the most telling point is that if the part most likely to be a problem, is indeed bad, and does not respond to just a cleaning, they cannot replace it because the part is on backorder. I asked if there was a recall, the dealer would not comment. The problem is most likely to occur again.it is a safety issue, and should be addressed in a recall before someone is killed, if it has not already happened.
While driving, the car suddenly went into limp mode. After pulling over and shutting it down, we let it coolfor about five minutes. Afterwards it ran fine. Later that night it did the same thing after about 20 minutes of driving. This time we tried simply shutting it off and turning it back on, but it was still in limp mode. Therefore, we pulled over, shut it down, and waited about five minutes again, and it ran fine. We've also noticed that this isn't a random occurrence, but happens after about 20 minutes of regular driving.
My wife was driving this car on the nj garden state parkway at 65 mph in the express lanes when the vehicle started running bad and lost power. This was a dangerous condition to lose power at that speed. She pulled the car over to side, shut off engine, then restarted and was able to move vehicle about a mile and get off the parkway at exit 117 to route 35 south. The car again started to run bad and she pulled into a ford dealership near this exit. The ford dealer had to replace the throttle body which went bad. This took 5 days as there is a national shortage for this part.#ds7z9e926d. It is evident that ford has a serious problem with this part breaking down on thousands of cars as i see other customer complaints on the internet. I contacted ford corp. In detroit and was told not under warranty on my car. This needs to be a recall. I worry that this part is defective, won't last long and will have to be replaced again in the future. I worry about another breakdown at high speed--very dangerous condition.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan.the contact stated that when fuel was pumped into the fuel tank, the fuel spewed back out of the tank and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the purge valve cracked, causing the fuel tank to leak. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
While driving on a freeway (middle lane) at ~ 50 mph the "wrench" light cane on and the vehicle slowed to 20mph.very unsafe.
Driving thru town at approx 30 mph the vehicles warning lights flashed for check engine and the throttle control warning (wrench) illuminated.the vehicle would not respond to any activation of the gas peddle and drifted to idle power.not understanding what went wrong, i shut the car down and restarted it to clear the faults.i re-entered traffic and proceeded about 50 ft before it happened again.i proceeded to follow the same reset process and was able to limp the car home. The car was towed away and repaired by replacing the electronic throttle body.research shows that since 2004 ford has known that this problem exists and that the engine design default is to bring the car down to idle power.internet chat boards have stories of this happening on highways at high rates of speed.ford claims there is no recall because the government (you guys) have not required them to do so despite the failure mode, and public safety implications, being exactly the same as nhtsa action number pe13031.ford fixed the problem recently but did not scrap old defective inventory and refuses to fix those suspect parts on our roads.they have calculated the costs and choose to risk public safety instead of a recall.
Rear passenger side tail light stays illuminated even while brake paddle is engaged... Basically i have no brake lights... Also fuel recalls still hasnt been done on my vehicle.
Driving 2 weeks ago, going 45 mph and the accelerator stopped working. Engine was running and i could still safely pull it over to the side of the road.i turned the vehicle off and then back on and it worked again.since there were many areas of non-safe roads to pull over, i decided to have it towed home. It has driven fine ever since, until today, going 55mph, on the interstate, accelerator stops working.i safely pulled over, turned off and restarted engine.i safely drove to my nearest ford dealership where they say it is the throttle sensor.why is this not eligible for recall yet as i read these many, many pages of posts on the same thing? i have to wait until november for the part as it is on backorder. No safe car to drive until then.
Stop at red light and the car refuse to accelerate. Had to coast to the side of the road. When car is cut off and turn back on it will run for a little while and does the same thing again. Kids in the car on the side of the road. When i first got the car the transmission went out, had it less than 2 wks. Now this is happening, cost over 600.00 dollars for something that is manufactured screw up. I need my car to get kids to school and work. All these complaints about the same problem needs a recall very quick before someone gets into an accident.
Mycheck engine light came on and was checked and the fuel vapor canister purge valve is not operating properly
The vehicle suddenly stalled while driving at highway speeds (55mph) in heavy traffic.rapid deceleration and many dashboard lights came on. I was able to change to the right lane and then bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder safely, avoiding an accident,as the car was in rapid deceleration and stepping on the gas was unresponsive. There was no acceleration, or engine noise or response when i stepped on the gas pedal while in drive position and the key in the on position.i turned the car off for several minutes, wondering what to do. I then turned the key back on, and the car was able to drive.i took side roads home and then scheduled an appointment at the selling manufacturer dealership.the defect was in the throttle body? they would not cover the $500 repair under the new vehicle warranty (out on time), the $1700 extended warranty i purchased (not covered part), the emissions warranty (not covered part) or the hybrid warranty ( not covered part), or any recall, or goodwill service plan or service bulletin repairs. Then i found out there was a settlement with the nhtsa forsimilar incidents that ford agreed to extend the warranty on the throttle body for 150,000 miles or 10 years. (this vehicle is a 2010 with just over 20,000 miles.they said it is not covered under the settlement because it a hybrid and they were not included in the settlement.i thinkthat this premature failure of an item that they will replace if defective in 150,000 miles or ten years as part of a settlement to avoid a recall and associated public disclosure,should be covered under the agreement. I have the part from the dealer. Even though there are fewer hybrids on the road as a statistic, it only takes one failure to cause a tragic result. I can send the part for investigation to determine if there were not enough suppliers and parts identified prior to the settlement.
When trying to accelerate my car chugs and feels as if it wants to stall. I have to accelerate at a very very slow pace.
I had just pulled out of my driveway this morning and began to accelerate, up to about 20 mph, when all of a sudden i lost total power.i looked down at the dash while steering the vehicle over to the side of the street, and noticed the "wrench" light was lit up.i immediately shut the car off, and got out my manual.the manual said the light indicated a transmission/power train/awd issue.i thought i would attempt to start the car again, and see what it would do.i restarted the vehicle, and the wrench light was no longer went, and i had power when i put it in gear.i took my chances, and went ahead and drove it work, hoping it was just a fluke, but decided i would investigate to see if others had experienced the same issue.i came across the entire listing of others who were experiencing this issue so thought i better immediately get it to the dealer and put on diagnostics.i explained to them what i thought the issue might be, the throttle body problem i had read about.they put it on diagnostics, but the only code which came up was a p0456, saying i needed to replace a valve--this code is indicated by the "service engine" light, and not the "wrench".he said they could find no codes for the "wrench" light.i told him that was strange, because the wrench light came on when i lost power.he told me the p0456 could make the car have the same types of issues.i told him i had been driving with the p0456 code for an extended period of time, and it had never affected the performance of the vehicle, so i didn't understand why it would do it now.i feel like this is the same type of issues others are experiencing, but the service manager told me previously when they saw the throttle body issue, there was always a code.not sure why there is no code showing up, but that also seems to be common.guess i will take my chances driving at this point.
The engine stalls unpredictably.check engine light comes on.after a short period, the engine can be started and the car driven without recurrance of the problem, but the check engine light stays on.local ford dealership diagnostics indicate problem with the electronic throttle body.
Fuel tank & canister purge valve recall - 15s34 recall - vehicle was inspected for recall in august 2016 and passed the recall and the recall was closed by ford.in july 2017, the vehicle had a check engine light and message to check fuel tank inlet that would come on and go off in.the check engine light code was related to the evap system.vehicle was taken to the same ford dealership that performed the recall in 2016.the canister purge valve failed and the fuel filler pipe had leaks and needed replacement.the ford dealership submitted a 360 claim for the parts and labor.the 360 claim was denied because the car was outside the 7 years of service and the dealership would not warranty the claim because the recall had already been closed.
Stalls (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges.
I seem to be experiencing the same issue described here:http://www.ncconsumer.org/news%20articles/nccc%20petitions%20nhtsa%20for%20defect%20investigation%20into%20ford%20escape%20vehicles.htmlcar will drive normally, then suddenly the wrench will come on and all throttle response / power will be gone.the car will no longer respond, and this can be very dangerous if you are in the middle of a turn, etc.normally, if you turn shut the car off and then start it back up it will behave normally (at least for a little while) until the problem recurs.
My vehicle was towed at my expense to a shop. The verdict was a 'throttle body' issue. This vehicle went into the 'limp home' mode with no warning. I would challenge the president of ford to attempt to limp this vehicle just 5 miles on any busy road in the nation in this mode. Apparently, judging by my research,it is an ongoing problem and widespread. As of right now the vehicle is unusable, since the parts are on 'indefinite back-order' awaiting some sort of release of parts. The vehicle is stuck at a dealership, no fix date in sight until the part (or substitute part) becomes available. This leave me with no transportation (i'm disabled currently) and no recourse. Even if i find a currently available replacement part, without whatever fix is needed, my faith in the vehicle is gone. Faith in all ford vehicles i might add. The ride home was dangerous at the crawl speed it will do, especially with the lurching at times.
Was driving on highway and suddenly the car lost power and the wrench icon showed on the dashboard.it was like taking one's foot off the gas peddle.had to get car towed.the fault was the throttle part #ds7z9e926dthere were 2 other cars at the ford dealer waiting for the same backordered part to arrive.i never saw 3 cars at a dealer with the same problem at the same time.the part being backordered in a leading indicator the quantity of the part being replaced is running high.
First brake light and tail light on drivers side light up once in awhile did not know was out till friend told me , cost to repair led light is $400 for part have not repaired yet, while driving at any speed car will shut down to limp mode ,dealer stated $550 to repair and replace throttle body , both are serious safety items that could result in being rear ended,out of warranty so ordering a throttle body and replace by ourselves for it stalls out continuously , recall should be ordered on both the tail light assemblies and the throttle body as both are a common problem on these vehicles.
The car loses power while driving, the wrench light comes on and then i have to pull over to the side of the road, it has also happened on the highway which is scary? also the car sometimes has an idle problem, like its trying not to stall, but causes the car to jump a little while at stop lights. Also when i get gas, the car does not want to start, but if i leave the car running while getting gas the car is fine.
I was driving my mercury milan when it starting surging and then lost all power.since that date it has happened to me at least 50 more times, some worse then others.thisis very dangerous as it has happened as i have entered intersections, putting my life in danger of being hit !!i have taken it to the dealer but they said it is no longer under warranty so it would cost over $600 which i do not have.this is making me sick as now i am afraid to drive my car even though i have to in order to get back and forth from work!!
Vehicle stalled and then stopped while in traffic. Re-started, traveled short distance, and it stopped again.this has continued to occur many times while approaching intersections, pulling on highway ramps, and pulling out of intersections. I took it to ford (mercury) dealer, but they could not repeat problem. No code reading. Car continued to repeat problem numerous times - no check engine light, no obd codes on reader. Car finally stopped completely. Dealer diagnosed problem as throttle body. Part is on back order - 6 months anticipated since so many(together with ford fusion) have the same problem.i see from nhtsa complaints that at least 35 have been registered on milan.ford seems to ignore the safety implications or to take any corrective actions. Started just after purchase (31,000 miles). Now had 41,000 miles.
At dusk on saturday september14,2013 travelingnorth bound on 6 lane interstate i-55 in far left lane at 67 mph with cruise control on the car began to slow rpm returned to idling speed under 800 rpm and was unresponsive to accelerator pressure. The traffic was heavy and i was lucky to be able to move across lanes and reach the shoulder before car had slowed to 5 mph.the wrench light came on. Shut off the car restarted it and accelerator was responsive began to accelerate to merge back on to highway and again lost power. Shut off car again and acceleratingvery slowly was able to reach an exit about 1 mile away before car again lost power.called for a tow back home as vehicle was unsafe.car taken to dealership september 16th for repair and the throttle body needed to be replaced.i learned on line that this seems to be a common problem with certain ford and mercury products but there has been no recallto fix this defective part which puts the driver and passenger in grave danger when the throttle body malfunctions .luckily i was in a fairly populated area and cell phone service was available. I fear what could have happened if traffic had been even heavier or been in a more remote area. These products should be recalled as they present a serious safety issues for drivers.
2010 mercury milan engine suddenly died on an urban interstate with similar symptoms of running out of fuel, and has died multiple times since. Wrench light illuminated as engine died, but no check engine light or codes appear for diagnosis. Must shut off engine, then able to restart engine. Engine dies randomly and is not affected by moisture, temp, or time driven. Condition is hazardous anytime acceleration and control are critical. Website entries indicate this is a widespread problem. Took into ford dealer once for diagnosis and dealer replaced air filter, did not fix problem. Throttle body suspected culprit, but no diagnostic codes appear.
The first time this problem occurred was at a stop sign.the car engine idle became erratic, the engine light came on, and when i tried to pull away from the stop sign the car would not respond to the accelerator.pulled to side of road and turned off the engine, waited approximately 2 minutes and then restarted.the engine ran fine.the second time this problem occurred i was driving at 40 mph.the car engine speed became erratic, then the car lost power and would not respond to the accelerator.pulled to the side of the road and turned off the engine, waited approximately 2 minutes, and then restarted.the engine ran fine.took the car to my mechanic who read the engine codes and told me i need a throttle body.
Driving car slows and jerks press gas nothing happens.pull over car jerks i cut it off and restart the engine.works fine for a few moments then starts again.repeated this process 6 times.made it to the ford dealer they replaced a throttle sensor.worked fine after that.then i traded it.
While driving down the highway experienced a total loss of acceleration. Car still maintained an idle but no matter how many times i pressed the pedal to the floor it would not recognize me doing so. (kind of like and older vehicle with a cable just breaking). Fortunately it did not effect steering or braking but it was quite challenging to get to the side of the road. If i shut of vehicle and restarted gas pedal works fine again. I immediately contacted a master ford tech that i know personally and he informed me that more than likely it was the electronic throttle body that there has been many complaints and replacements done on that particular engine recently in their shop. Due to the lack of funds i continued driving the vehicle and have experienced the same problem a minimum of 8 times in 3 weeks. I no longer will allow my wife to drive car until i can repair.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle leaked fuel and there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to oxmoor ford lincoln (100 oxmoor ln, louisville, ky 40222, (502) 426-2500) where it was diagnosed that a new fuel tank was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer also found that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. New brakes were installed; however, front brakes were installed instead of rear brakes. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Driving 65 mph on highway and car lost all power and yellow wrench light illuminated on dash.with car in limp mode pulled over to service lane. Car towed to local ford dealer.dealer replaced defective battery but found no codes stored in computer. Dealer test drove vehicle and reported no problem. Three days later same incident (loss of power and wrench light). Shut vehicle off and restarted it and engine had normal power l with wrench light extinguished.drove vehicle to local ford dealer and left it there for more diagnostics and repair.very dangerous condition and feeling for all engine power to be gone unexpectedly.
When i press the accelerator the car stalls out, or goes "limp".this has happened several times. When i turn the car off and restart it the car runs fine for a minute.took it to ford they said it was the throttle body part.
Commuting home from work the gas pedal became unresponsive, the entire began running very rough, and the red wrench symbol illuminated on my drivers display.coasted to a safe spot to pull off, turned off the car let it sit for a minute or two, restarted the car, the display was clear, gas pedal response was good, and engine sounded normal.drove home without further incident.four days later a similar incident, contacted my ford garage, described the problem and made an appointment for a diagnostic.diagnostic came back with the throttle body diagnosis, the parts are on back order with no estimated receiving date.will cost just under $500 to repair, 3 months out of bumper to bumper coverage, just under 27k on the car.not covered under the extended power train coverage because it is a sensor/ electrical problem.i am 7th or 8th in line for the part when it becomes available at my local dealership.
Driving and the engine light comes on and the car begins to loose power.then the car looses the ability to control it and appears to not have any gas going to it and the wrench on the dash board appears and the power steering goes out.the car appears to not be getting any gas.i pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car.after it sits for a few minutes it will start again.sometimes it starts up and doesn't happen for awhile.other times it will happen again in a few minutes.it can happen at any speed like 50 mph or at anytime.
Car going into "limp mode" for no apparent reason.feels as if it has stalled.has happened on highway at 65 mph.car goes "limp" no power to move off highway.has also occurred while making left turn in front of traffic.car all but stalls.
Driving at highway speed limit with cruise on there was a loss of cruise control, no throttle response and the "wrench" light came on.i was able to pull off the highway.engine was running roughly, turned it off immediately.no cell phone service in the area so i could not get a tow truck.restarted the car. Operated fine to get home 10 miles.was taking it to the nearest dealer 30 miles from home when the same thing happened. I'm glad i did not have my children with me during these incidents. After viewing internet videos and reading on many internet sights this seems to be a problem with many mercury milans.ford needs to recall and fix the problem that causes this.
Driving on freeway when vehicle acceleration became unresponsive. Pulled over to the side of the freeway and could tell engine was still running but not well. Turned vehicle of using the key and restarted the engine. It was a little hesitant to start - it took 5-6 seconds of the key being turned for it to start but had no problems after until the next occurrence. This occurred around 5-6 times until i could get it to the dealership with no regard for speed/road conditions/driving conditions. One moment it was fine the next it had no acceleration.
The interior door handle cracked inside the door panel. The door cannot be opened from the inside. This is very dangerous if there was an emergency situation i would not be able to exit my vehicle without rolling the window down and opening handle from outside car. These handles should not be made out of plastic!
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. After returning from driving the vehicle, the contact shut off and attempted to exit the vehicle, but the driver side door would not open. The contact stated that the door was unlocked, but the door handle would not successfully release the door from the locked position. The contact was able to crawl over to another door to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,624.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that when the headlights were engaged, the driver's side brake light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician replaced the driver's side brake light. However, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact stated that the driver's side door handle fractured. The contact mentioned that in order to exit the vehicle he had to use the exterior door handle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
I seem to be experiencing the same issue described here:http://www.ncconsumer.org/news%20articles/nccc%20petitions%20nhtsa%20for%20defect%20investigation%20into%20ford%20escape%20vehicles.htmlcar will drive normally, then suddenly the wrench will come on and all throttle response / power will be gone.the car will no longer respond, and this can be very dangerous if you are in the middle of a turn, etc.normally, if you turn shut the car off and then start it back up it will behave normally (at least for a little while) until the problem recurs.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the transmission wrench icon remained illuminated for months. The dealer (natchez ford lincoln, 14 sgt prentiss dr, natchez, ms 39120, (601) 445-0076) refused to provide a solution and suggested that the vehicle be diagnosed and repaired. The contact stated that there was a remedy for an unknown transmission recall that was not performed on the vehicle; however, the dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per the recall. In addition, the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The dealer stated that parts were unavailable. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Started vehicle and noticed car jerking and not accelerating correctly. I was stopped at light approx 1/3 mile from start and car died at light , car restarted and made left turn onto busy freeway and car heisitated and stated jerking again with no acceleration. Moved to shoulder of road and called aaa to have car towed....unsafe and unable to continue drive home...15 miles ahead. Ford service pulled code p2111 from dashboard lights and said throttle body was shot...at 38000 miles. No recourse from ford out of warranty 2000 miles . I was charged 198.55 labor and 137.80 parts...total with tax 347.96. They replaced part with a new part number ...obviously they know this is a defective part....no customer compensation.
Abouta month ago this first happened as i went to accelerate the wrench light cameon and could get no power near accident....today traveling 55 mph the wrench appeared again and i could no longer accelerate if a car was behind me i would have got nailed. I pulled over turned the car off and back on and it worked until each time i was at a stop light the rpm would sputter and the car would stall. Reading nearly 200 similar complaints someone is bound to get seriously injured if it has not happened yet. If this was winter ... I seriously crash on the road i was traveling.
On 12 september i went to take off from a light and the car had no acceleration, and the wrench light came on in control panel...i was able to coast to the shoulder on other side of intersection and placed the car in park and turned it off.when i turned the car back on it started fine and the light was no longer on.it was about two weeks later on 27 september was driving to work on a 2-lane road going about 45 mph and the car lost all acceleration and the wrench light came back on.there was not much of a shoulder to pull off on but found a spot and placed car in park and turned it off.i smelled a slight burning smell so waitedlittle bit longer than last time and turned the car back on.it started up and the light was no longer on and it drove fine.i took to a mechanic on saturday morning and told me the diagnostic couldnot produce a code because the incident could not be replicated but believed it was the throttle body and needed a replacement.

It first occurred when i drove on the highway and it shut off when i was at a stop light.after waiting a minute i turned the car on and it started.the next occurrence happened when i was driving my vehicle on the highway going 60 mph it started downshifting until it stopped at 0 mph and made kind of a tutting noise until it stopped.the maintenance light came on and the car started shaking.afterwards the check engine light came on.i turned off the car and waited a minute and tried to start the car up after. It took about a minute for the car to start up and eventually started up.i went about 35-45mph a couple of miles down the road and the car downshifted again and shut off.the car started shaking again.i then waited again and started it up again.i drove the car into a neighborhood driving 20 mph to park it up and it get it out of the way from being on the highway.
Vehicle had two throttle body codes and lost power in two days took to c&c ford and they won't change the part untilthe code comes up again under the ford replacement policydoes someone have to die!!
This vehicle (mercury milan 2010) stalled intermittently at stop signs and traffic lights.stalling out more frequently, i notified my mechanic, who informed me, this is a current problem with ford vehicles and ford may be initiating a car recall for the hundreds of thousands of cars of which the throttle problem is occurring.i am repairing the vehicle on my own dime for our own safety, with the intention to file a reimbursement for this problem when ford (mercury) will at a later time, send a recall out for this extreme impairment to the propulsion of the vehicle.

2010 mercury milan not shifting properly, vehicle wouldn't accelerate on highway and other roads, sputters and doesn't drive up hill. Brought into john kennedy ford in conshohocken and was told leaking transmission cooling line, which is receiving many reports online.
I was driving down a main street heading directly into the free way interstate. Once i approached the interstate i was caught the light.... I then began to take off once it turned green. I reach about 20mph and my car jerked and the wrench icon came on. I then noticed i had no power and no where to go because my car never got a good speed... I almost got hit twice and held up traffic... How embracing seeing that i have a perfectly nice car.once i got it home( which took 3hrs driving at 10mph and cutting off) i took the car to my auto shop and informed me on a recall for this problem.... But guess what? the dealership said not for me car....if their is a recall on this part.. What makes my car different.? so i ended up paying $300 bucks in repairs, losing $200 work day.... Total loss....$500 on a part that is on recall... This is bull...
Electric throttle body issues.
Multiple times & variations, but always w/the same result.at any given moment, wrench light would come on & vehicle would lose all acceleration ability while it surged/idled very roughly. Each time, i pulled vehicle off road to the best of my ability, put it in park (would then idle rough, but surge less). Turned vehicle off, waited 5-10min, restarted & vehicle would function close to normally (minimal small surges while driving).while veh was malfunctioning, i could hold gasoline pedal to the floor w/no response. Could not manually shift (i have an automatic shiftable) past 2nd gear & veh would not progress forward - except if the engine surged. This problem happened more, with less time between failings as the day progressed until i could finally get to a populated area/small town. It is also worth mentioning, both mechanics that checked my vehicle for me could not find any "history" in my codes.however, the first ford dealership was able to do a special check that found a "throttle body failure". They cleaned the throttle body (parts are back ordered till 9/24/13) & sent me on my way hoping that would fix the problem. It did not, so i stopped at the very next town after it happened again & left my mercury milan with a ford dealership. Each time this happened it was really quite scary as traffic around me had no idea i was about to have catastrophic failure. Thankfully all drivers involved were quick enough to avoid rear ending me.
In april of 2013 i left work and got up to 45 mph when the car jerked and then lost all power. I floored the gas and the engine did not respond. Was able to pull off the road and noticed a wrench icon light. I stopped the car and put it in park then gave it some gas with no response at all. The car was just barely idling. I shut it off and restarted it, took a few seconds longer than usual for it to start but it seemed to run fine after that and the wrench light was now off. Called the dealer and they said if it's running ok to just keep an eye on it, it might not repeat. I noticed the car would occasionally start jerking like a transmission problem.took it into the dealer on may 28, 2013 and they could not find a problem. They said it sounded like a throttle body issue but they had none in stock and were back-order.on june 7th i was driving and the car again lost all power, pulled off the road and restarted. Car started but was jerking a lot more. Next day it lost power again as i pulled away from a stop light. Pulled over again, restarted, put in gear and the throttle did not respond. I went through this for 6 restarts until the throttle would respond. This time the engine light came on and remained on until it went to the dealer today. The dealer put my name on a wait list for a new throttle body and said it would be 3-6 weeks until it came in. I am now stuck with a car i'm paying on but can not drive for 3-6 weeks.i'm lucky this didn't happen on a highway or going through a busy intersection.ford should be forced to recall these.
The first incident occurred when i was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and i would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before i try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third i was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened i had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once i did get it started i would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode.
Driving at highway speeds vehicle stalls out without warning. When attempting restart engine light and "orange wrench" light turn on. Vehicle does eventually restart.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and the check engine warning light illuminated. The failure occurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Immediately after entering a main highway, the engine seemed to die yet idled around 1000 rpm.the dash lights came on, the engine sputtered, but wouldn't increase speed and vehicle wouldn't move more than 2 or 3 miles per hour.after getting it off road and turning ignition off for a couple of minutes, it started and drove fine.
When leaving a red-light the throttle (gas pedal) did not work.i had to coast to off the road.turn off the car and re-start.at that time the gas pedal worked.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the vehicle shook with a jerking motion and shut off. The wrench warning icon and the check engine light simultaneously illuminated when the failure occurred. The vehicle restarted within a minute but operated for an unpredictable time and distance. The contact cleaned the throttle body and started the engine but it shut off again.the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 45,000. Updated 11/5/13the consumer purchased the part, and installed it himself. Updated 11/12/13
Driving car slows and jerks press gas nothing happens.pull over car jerks i cut it off and restart the engine.works fine for a few moments then starts again.repeated this process 6 times.made it to the ford dealer they replaced a throttle sensor.worked fine after that.then i traded it.
As i was driving my car, the vehicle steering became hard to steer and within minutes, the steering became non-existent. I had to put on hazards in order to avoid an a car from hitting me and to try to get to a safe place with pretty much no steering power.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred on separate occasions. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000. Updated 10/29/13the consumer stated the vehicle would unexpectedly stall and showed signs of throttle body failure.all the symptoms he experienced were consistent with nhtsa number pe13003. Updated 11/12/13
7i bought my car with around 20,000 miles on it and experienced jerking, rough idling, and a complete loss of power when driving. I returned it to the dealership a total of 3 times for this issue. I was told it was a transmission issue and they were resetting something that had to do with the computer in the transmission. After the first instance of the car stalling, i googled any issues with my particular vehicle and came upon a throttle body problem. I mentioned this to the dealership on several occasions and was told that this was not a common issue, nor was it the problem with my vehicle. Last week, i was driving to work, my car completely stalled while going 75mph on a 4 lane highway. I was almost rear ended by the semi that was behind me as my car's speed suddenly, and without warning, dropped by over 15mph. I made my way to the right side and slowly coasted up an off ramp to get off the highway (as there was no shoulder). Even if you press the gas, nothing happens. You do not accelerate at all. I turned the car off and restarted it. I drove maybe 5 minutes and it stalled again. I had to restart my car a total of 5 times on the 7 mile drive to work that day and was almost hit by other cars just about every time. I called my personal mechanic and had it towed to him instead of the dealership because i was told that this was a different issue than my previous 3 visits to the dealership and ford would not be covering it under my warranty. The mechanic replaced the throttle body and my car runs perfectly now. He said when he called around to get a part he had a horrible time even finding one because they are on back order due to this being such a huge issue across the country. I've been telling the dealership for 25,000 miles and almost 2 years this was what was wrong with my car and now its suddenly not covered under my warranty.
The first incident occurred when i was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and i would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before i try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third i was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened i had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once i did get it started i would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode. I was lucky to get it to the ford dealer without having to have it towed.

I've experienced several instances of my vehicle stalling while in motion at various speeds (30-65 mph). At the dealership it was determined that the problem is with the throttle & the part is on back order. It is my only means of transportation & cannot get it repaired. Despite the low mileage, i am being told that this is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This issue is not due to wear & tear but to a manufacturer's mechanical failure. Why is the consumer responsible for the repairs to a preexisting problem in these cars?
I was driving down the highway traveling at approximately 60mph when the car suddenly stalled and i was not able to accelerate. The wrench light came on at the same time as well. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. The car started to shake a lot as it slowed down. I turned the car off, and was able to start back up again. The very next morning while traveling a 50mph on a different highway the same thing happened again. I took it to the dealership to have a diagnostic run on the car as i had no idea why it was stopping. As i was about to turn into the dealership traveling at 25mph it stalled again. The result of the diagnostic test was there was a code stored in system of the electronic throttle body.it was giving a code for being stuck open when it should not have been. It was a failed component. After further internet research there is an open nhtsa investigation action number pe13003 (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13003&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true) for this exact issue. I would like my vehicle to be added to the investigation as this is a serious safety defect with my vehicle that could have caused me bodily harm or death. It needs to be addressed and the part recalled.
Driving approximately 30 mph, the car coasted to a stop and the wrench showed on the dashboard.waited a short while, restarted and it was okay.did notice some lurching and the car felt like it was in the wrong gear, prior to the second incident on 10/07/20.driving through an intersection at 30 mph, wrench showed on dashboard and car slowed to a crawl.i had to make it through the busy intersection and off ramp from a highway in order to safely get the car off the road.i could have been rear-ended both times, to say nothing about the fear of your car just conking out in the dark at 5:30am.the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty expired may 27, 2013... And my current mileage is 35,581 miles!!!!!!!!!!111 days over the months and 419 miles under the warranty.... So, i am paying around $300+ to have this fixed.with all the exact complaints as happened to others, i am surprised ford did not send a notice to owners to get it fixed or face the potential of being involved in a crash...thank you.
While driving on a freeway (middle lane) at ~ 50 mph the "wrench" light cane on and the vehicle slowed to 20mph.very unsafe.
I was entering the interstate at 50 mph when my car jerked, and lost both acceleration and power.the throttle control/transmission and check engine light came on, so i restarted the car and only the check engine light remained.i was able to exit the interstate and took my car to a auto store to run a check, was told the throttle actuator control system was stuck closed.
This has happened to me so many times and i really don't deserve to have to come out of pocket and pay for this. My car is still under a power train warranty bug seems they do not cover a throttle body replacement. I was driving up i -20 going at least 75 mph and the car looses all acceleration and as i pull over it starts to shake , so i cut it off and crank if up again and it drives perfect until it decides to do it again. Dealership told me it would cost 500.44 to replace the throttle body and milan's are having this issue. I'm so disappointed in ford. Recall recall recall before someone gets hurt or die. We need to start a class a law suit.
I was traveling at 65mph on the freeway when the wrench emblem went on my dashboard and i lost acceleration. I had the gas peddle pushed to the floor but there was no power. I pulled off the road and turned the car off and restarted it. I was able to get off the freeway and home. I have read several similar accounts and am surprised that ford has not had a recall due to this issue. Does someone have to die before ford will pay attention to this defect?
I was driving approximately 50 mph. The car began to slow down, and itjerked and hesitated and began to decelerate as it continued the jerking and hesitation. The carwould not respond to the accelerator at all. Continued to jerk and slow down and the engine and transmission were not functioning properly. I pulled in to a gas station and stopped the car.
I was driving down the highway and then my gas pedal went to the floor and had no power.i pulled over to the side of the road and when i lifted the hood the whole engine was shaking.i shut off the car.let it sit for a couple of minutes and it started up slowly.ran for about 10 miles and did it again at 35 mph.pulled over shut off car and waited(as a police officer pulled up to my car).started the car again and made it to our campsite.we were 3 hours from home.i went online and found all of these problems with this car.i ended up at o reilly auto parts and fixed the throttle body in the parking lot.has been running slightly rough since this happened. Then this morning(3 weeks later) i started the car and the radio and info on it does not work.still working on this problem. Any thought would be helpful.i think it is time to get rid of the mercury and go back to chevy.
Under load (acceleration into traffic), the transmission does not engage, stuck between gears causing the car to redline and go nowhere. Also, noticed stuttering in shifting of the car at certain gears.does this very intermittently, but when it does, it could have been in dangerous situations if i was trying to merge into traffic.ford service was unable to replicate, but it has done it a half dozen times since the first time i bought the car.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a recurring failure in which it would jerk while shifting gears and experience trouble accelerating. The transmission light was also illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000. The vin was unavailable.
I was driving down the highway traveling at approximately 50mph when the car suddenly started to lose power and i was not able to accelerate--car was coasting. The wrench light came on at the same time as well. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. The car started to sputter as it slowed down and eventually lost all power/stopped. I turned the car off, and was able to start back up again...very confusing and annoying.
I was driving on a highway, felt a jerk in the engine, and was no longer able to accelerate. The engine continued to run and all electrical components (lights, radio, etc.) were operational, but the car would only decrease speed so i stopped the car on the shoulder. I noticed that the engine stuttered considerably while idling and would not respond to the throttle. The wrench warning light was illuminated on the dashboard. I shut the engine off and called for a tow truck. The tow truck driver arrived after 20 minutes and was able to drive the car onto the flatbed. Some ability to drive forward had returned but i was wary. I had the car transported to a ford dealership and the service technician identified the throttle body as the culprit ($425 to repair). I've learned subsequent to my experience that this problem is quite common with 2009 - 2011 mercury milans. The throttle body repair is covered for 2 years. I'm concerned that this problem may repeat.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the power train control module and oem needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a warranty. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 94,796.
Driving on freeway at 70 miles per hour. Car lost power, the wrench symbol lit up on the dash, however ignition did not turn off. I shut off the ignition and when i restarted the car the wrench symbol was not lit up any more and the car was normal again.this has happened again 2 days ago.
I was driving at 50 mph and pull out to pass another card accelerating to 55 mph. The car lurched and started to lose power. I thought it was temporary but it continued to decrease to 40, 30, 20 and 10 mph which i pull over to the side of the road to prevent a hazard on the highway. I called aaa for a tow which arrived about an hour later. The next morning i decided to try and start the car. The wrench light was off andit started but i did not drive it. The next day which is monday i decided i was going to chance it to take it to the dealer 30 miles away. It actually made it there and the diagnostic done by the dealer came up with no repair codes for the vehicle, subsequently, i picked it up and drove it home at the end of the day. On tuesday, it started up and one mile from the house, it clunked out again and lost power. Again i called aaa to tow me to the dealer. I guess because it was a recent occurrence, the code showed up in the diagnostic so they claim it is fixed by replacing the throttle body assembly. It has driven well for one day and i hope it continues. Is this basis for a recall. Please advise.
Stalled three times, without warning, while traveling at 50 mph.almost rear ended each time.vehicle 38 month old and less then 34,000 miles.replace throttle body.please have ford check into this before someone gets hurt.
Wrench light came on and car started shaking and sputtering and would not advance and i almost got rear ended.i feel this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.also the engine light came on. Thank you
While driving on the highway 60 mph without warning the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I had no engine control. Was able to shift into neutral and pull over safely onto the shoulder without being rear ended. Engine exhibited rough idle approximately 800 to 900 rpm. The car was in a limp mode.the gas pedal had no effect. Turned the ignition off and restarted the vehicle wrench light turned off and was able to drive the vehicle normally for 5 miles before the wrench light illuminated and the vehicle lost power. I was able to drive the car home. Connected a scan tool to the obd and no codes were present. The following day driving with the scan tool connected at 40 mph the same symptoms occurred. The scan tool registered code p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. Fortunately i was able to pull safely. Mentioned the issue to the local lincoln dealer and was told this is a common problem with this vehicle and the throttle body assembly needs to be replaced. Was told that the part in on national back order and is not available. This is not acceptable. The problem occurred 6 times within a 10 day period. This car is not safe to drive. The vehicle should be recalled without hesitation and the safety issue resolved.
I was driving on the freeway at about 60 mph when my car suddenly lost all drive power without warning. I managed to coast to the snow-covered right shoulder. When i put the vehicle in park, it was shuddering and the engine warning lights were on. I turned the car off for a minute and then turned it back on. The car seemed to drive ok then, but i immediately took it to the dealership and learned that the diagnostic codes indicated a failure in the throttle body. If this is a faulty part it should be recalled. I feel i was lucky to be able to get my disabled car off the road without incident. The next person may not be so fortunate.
I was driving going about 20mph and the vehicle would stall. Once i stopped again and tried to accelerate the wrench tool symbol appeared on the dash and the car shut down. While riding before the car shut off the engine was idling very roughly. This is the second time i have had the problem in the last 7 months and supposedly its a problem with the throttle. This is a very bigto a lot of people including myself i see if ford see there's a continuous problem please fix it because this is ridiculous.
Unintentional acceleration 2010 mercury milan hybrid.
The power steering light and the power train light came on.ipulled the car over to the side of the highway, stopped the car, turned the car off and back on and the steering was gone.this is the 3rd time this has happened over the life of the vehicle.previous times i have taken it to the dealership as the 2011 model has been recalled for the same issue.they have quoted me upwards of $2000 to repair.when i declined, the computer was reset and it worked again.this is the first time that the traction control service came on.
Vehicle loses power at high speed while driving on highways. This problem has occurred 3 times and is a very dangerous situation. Fortunately no accidents have happened. Lincoln replaced a part but the incident has happened several times again since part was replaced. Lose power/stall out at high speed driving on highways.
Car idle at stop sign, accelerated into highways to make a left turn, loss of power, engine accelerating, but car moving very slowly, stalled. I pulled the car over on the side of the road, and turned the engine off.when i restarted the car a few minutes later, i was able to drive home without any problem.then, a few days later, as i was on the way to flow auto in winston-salem, nc, about 6 miles from my home, the car stalled during another left hand turn from a stoplight. I purchased this car less than 3 months ago. It had 36,205 miles on it at purchase. Flow auto says the problem is the throttle drive and it isn't covered under the warranty.within 90 days of purchase, i have to pay $662 for a repair that has been reported thousands of times by owners of ford focus and mercury milan owners, since the car was produced.
I was driving about 40 miles per hour and then all of the sudden the car stop working properly. The wrench lit up on the dashboard. I decided to pull to the side and turn off the car. After turning off the car, i turned it on again and i was able to drive for about 4 miles. Then, when it was time to drive it up a hill, it did the same.
The problem started almost a year ago but did not seem to occur all the time.from take off, the car would stall and then re-engage with gusto.up until the other day the car lost all power but was idling.i was able to move to the shoulder of the roadway, attempted to listen to what i heard and thought it was a bad gas issue and noticed the wrench and engine lights were on.i turned the vehicle off and then restarted to have full gas pedal response but the engine light stayed on.i proceeded down the road to the interstate but decided to get some fuel (3/8 of a tank existed) and some fuel additive.the car stopped and started without avail, as i entered the interstate 30 ramp the vehicle lost all power again.i pulled to the shoulder and repeated the previous restart.i called landers ford in benton, ar and told them the issue and would be bringing the car into the facility.not wanting to get back onto the interstate and possibly causing a wreck or traffic blockage, i drove using the outer road, the issue occurred at least twice while en-route.this is a continuing problem as my google search revealed and could be a major highway safety issue for someone living within the major areas of america.i have contacted ford, the attorney general, and the bbb.the electronic throttle body is not something that should need replacement with newer vehicles and must be a known issue because it is listed as "not covered" under the vehicle warranty!
Power steering recall: ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 ford escape and mercury mariner vehicles manufactured august 18, 2006, through september 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input.i called ford motor company regarding my vehicle 2010 mercury milan premier because i had to have my power steering replaced on my vehicle. The dealership stated that i would have to call ford and inform them that my car should be listed in the recall. When i called i was transferred to customer relations.the woman was very rude and kept repeating the same thing over and over. I explained to her i understand the protocol i just want to make sure that information regarding the call will be submitted about my vehicle power steering was serviced on my milan and if there was anything further that i could do regarding my vehicle possibly being in the recall. Her tone of voice was very rude and she didn't seem to care about my concern. I am considering purchasing a honda vehicle. When my power steering went out it was four occurrences 3 times on the freeway and once leaving from work. Not only was mylife and danger but the other drivers and my family members who were in the vehicle with me. So to speak with someone who does not care about my concern is very upsetting and i do not want to drive anymore ford/mercury vehicles.
While driving on the freeway at 55mph the orange wrench symbol lit up on the dashboard and the car started to lose power.the engine kept running, but there was no response when i pushed on the gas pedal.i was able to coast to the side of the road. I turned the car off for 5 minutes and then restarted it and the power returned enough to get me to a ford dealer.
After coming online and one search led me here and i saw the exact same problem from so many other milan owners, i was alarmed. I bought it couple months ago, less than 30k miles... I'm driving and accelerating stopped working, my car slowed down, i clicked the hazards on real quick and drifted as far over as i could. Police had to put flares out until tow truck came. Tow truck got there and after we made it to ford-mercury, the car started and "acted"just fine. The tow driver suggested it had been bad gas and may need injection cleaner. I decided to drive it home after adding hi-test gas and inj cleaner, and it was all good. Until today.(3 days later). I stopped at a traffic light and car idled down til it cut off. The mpg led monitor started dropping (just like it did first time) it went from getting 15 mpg to 5 mpg in the matter of 2 minutes while just idling. As if the gas was dumping thru lines. Also the idle became so erratic it would go up then drop down, i made it where i needed but left the car, and took spouses car. I took a video of the dash the first time it happened it showsorange wrench light came on, the mpg dropped from 13mpg to 2.2mpg and the idle rpm would go up and down, no matter whether you pushed gas or not. Gas pedal still felt normal under foot, so not the pedal. Car still ran, just wouldn't go anywhere, (had dog and needed ac until tow came) i hope there's a fix for this. From what i'm seeing, even the dealer mechanics can't diagnose the issue. Will be checking here to see if any new help or advice is available.
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden my vehicle pulls n hesitates to go, as i look in my dash a little wrench pops up.. My car lost all it's power and would not go. I set on my hazards and turn my vehicle off and back on and it was fine.. I call the mercury dealership and she tells me as long as the wrench did not pop up with a check engine sign i was fine. Well weeks go by my vehicle was fine, then out of the blue it does the same thing, wrench pops up in the dash and my vehicle goes in limp mode... Mind you this strikes without warning and is very dangerous! there is no indication when and here it will happen. I take it to the place i've always taken my vehicles and they tell me it's fine, no codes in the diagnostics..so i pick my vehicle up, two weeks later my car stalls out with a wrench and a check engine light. I've almost been slammed from behind twice. I take it to the dealership and they are trying to charge me 389.00 to fix a problem that has obviously been a manufactor error. This by far is not a preventive maintenance issue, this is by far a dangerous situation.
I was driving my family home in our hybrid milan on a busy street and the engine light for power train failure (a wrench) came on, simultaneously with total loss of acceleration.i immediately put on my blinker to move out of the way and to a safe place to stop.i was in the left lane and had to move across several lanes to get away from traffic confused by my sudden and apparently unreasonable deceleration.i pulled over into a side street and stopped the car, looked up the light meaning in the card manual and waited a few minutes.i restarted the car and drove it around a small neighborhood successfully before i would attempt taking it home with my young daughter in the car.we took a tentative drive home with the emergency lights flashing, hoping it would not happen again, as there was no way to go home without traffic in the washington dc area.coming to this site and seeing all the complaints i am wondering if we have to have fatalities before this is investigated and recalled.i drive on highways daily and my 7 year old's life is too important for this uncertainty.until now, i just loved my car.now it is scary as i see this is common, unpredictable and clearly dangerous.
On 7/26 the car lost all engine power on the highway and the wrench light appeared. After coasting to the side of the road, the car shakes until put into park. I shut the car off, wait a few seconds, restart and the wrench disappears as well as the shaking. I am able to continue as if nothing happened. Three more times it happens that day. A few days go by without incident. On 7/31 it occurs again three times following the same travel route as the days before, but in a 35mph zone instead. On 8/2 i take the car to a mechanic who diagnoses it as p2111 (faulty throttle body) and says he can't get the part due to a national back order. My faulty part is 9l8e-9f991-bc and i have called and looked online at several ford dealers and am also told the part is on national back order with no firm eta. The car is not drivable until this is fixed.
I was driving down the interstate a couple of weekends ago and all of a sudden my cruise control shut off and i had no throttle response. I pulled over and the engine sputtered very badly. After turning the engine on and off, i made it to my destination. When i was coming back on sunday, this preceded to happen two more times to me. Once when i was in the middle lane of a heavy traffic location. I couldn't accelerate or do anything besides break and avoid an accident, which was very close. I am lucky that no one got hurt but it became very evident that there was something wrong with the throttle in this car. After researching it more, i starting reading some of these same complaints, and the ford mechanic i took it to even said this isn't the first or even the second time he has heard of this failing on the 2010 milan. He claimed that was due to the electronic throttle bottle and believed it was from a defective unit on most units (good to know the problem except it wasn't covered under warranty, not recalled, and cost me $500). After hearing this, there is no way that this can not be recalled and fixed on every milan that has this same unit with the same serial number. I don't know if any accidents have occurred directly from this problem but i was close to one that definitely would have cost some people some lives. I am sure if this is a defective unit it will definitely cause one soon.
While driving at approximately 60 to 65mph, the car lost power and decrease speed while maintaining control of the vehicle, pull to the side of the road, car was still running and after turning off and restarting and entering the highway again problem persisted with the same results.
I felt a big jolt as i was pulling out of my neighborhood.it felt like i hit something.my son even got out of the car and looked underneath.then the next day, as i was pulling out of a grocery parking lot, it was revving up but wouldn't go, like it wasn't in gear. I stopped, put it in park for a minute, then back to drive.it started going but happened again at the next intersection.third day, i took it to the dealership, and they said it needed a computer update.luckily, i do have an extended warranty, so there was no charge.that was two days ago, and it seems to be okay for now, but i'm so afraid to drive it in heavy traffic, and i'm hesitant now every time i have to pull into traffic when leaving the store or my neighborhood.
I was driving on the highway going about 70mph when my car jolted. Then from there it decelerated very fast. I pushed on the gas and nothing it felt like it was in neutral with nothing happening. I quickly was able to get into the breakdown lane but due to being in the high speed lane i almost got hit by 2 cars. As i pulled over it felt like the car was about to stall. I shut the car off and waited. I turned it back on and it drove fine. About 2 months ago i had stopped at a stop sign and when i went to drive my car again felt like it was in neutral no matter how much i pressed on the gas it did not go anywhere... Even though it was in the drive gear. I shut it off and turned it on and it was fine. My car feels like it hesitates and bucks sometimes when i am driving also. This seems extremely dangerous seeing as i was almost in an accident yesterday on the highway. I was told i needed to see if my vin was part of the campaign recall to get this fixed. I will say if i find out its not part of the recall even though its listed in it theni will never by a ford or mercury every again because it shows they could care less about how dangerous something is and its fords fault no fault of mine!
Wrench icon appears and engine rpm drops and vehicle slows while unable to accelerate.engine surges at idle slightly below 1,000 rpm.if vehicle is shutoff and then restarted it will operate for an unpredictable time/distance.very dangerous to drive due to unpredictability.vehicle has been driven approximately 140 miles since first shutoff and has shut off numerous time since.on 9/27/13 it shutoff four times in 12 miles.wife is terrified to operate this car.vehicle will remain parked because of potential life-threatening safety hazard. Hopefully a recall for this will occur.
The car hesitates to go into gear, when it does it is with a hard jerk.shifts into next gears hard and with jerking motion.when starting to push accelerator sometimes takes a bit before it engages and then does with a jerk.will chug when at the 40mph mark and holding.it appears to not know if it should downshift or upshift.transmission is very unpredictable when it is going to engage and how hard of a jerk you will get from it.it also will surge if you are coasting and then need just a little more gas to get to where you want to be.it launches forward. Have had it rebuilt once already but it didn't change anything. Now the dealership says there is nothing wrong but changed theirtune when i told them there was information all over the internet that this is a huge problem and ford knows but is not doing anything to fix it.
I was driving my 2010 milan on the highway when it suddenly lost power, i was able to coast off the road. After trying for approximately 45 min i was able to start it and drive it home. About 2 weeks later it did the same thing as i was pulling out of a parking space. Both times i narrowly avoided being rearended.
I purchased my 2010 mercury milan last year in july 2013. This weekend i started having an issue with a loud thumping sound coming from under the hood, on ignition,gear changing and acceleration.took it to the dealer today and was informed that my subframe is completely broken. It was never welded, which i wasalsoinformed that it should have been. Meaning this was an issue before i purchased my vehicle.my engine has moved 2 inches forward, the technician moved my engine with his bare hand back and forward.both of my front wheel axles are broken due to the pressure of the engine not being secured with this subframe. I'm not really great with car repairs knowledge, but even i know this is a major issue.i bought the extended warranty with my car during purchase and they won't pay for the repair. I was quoted $600 for parts and $624 for labor.not including my wheel axles that have to be repaired due to this issue.i have contacted the bbb and the vp of the dealer, concerning this issue.the dealer was supposed to do a complete inspection of my vehicle and they did not. They say they stand by their inspections and guarantee. Not this time!! it's not fair for me to pay for this repair but if i don't,i won't have a vehicle to drive. Ford has to do something.this is their negligence and this issue could have caused a serious safety issue for me and my family. I will update this post asi find out more information from the dealership. If you are having this issue or had this issue, please join me, in filing a complaint. Someone could lose their life because ford refuses to acknowledge this manufacturer issue. If anyone can offer any kind of advice as in where or who to contact please respond with the information.
Engine goes to 4000 at highway speed and transmission slips while driving at 70 on interstate. Won't shift unless throttle is backed way off. At low speed on 2-1 downshift, it bangs into gear jerking you out of the seat and causing possible loss of control. Only does it on slight inclines. I purchased new 11/3/2009 car only has 24,818 miles on it and has been serviced only at ford dealers.
It's been pulling hard and jerking the car lot was supposed to fix it and never has i don't know what to do and it always smells like it's overheating
While traveling at 55mph my vehicle stalled, lost all power and came to a stop at the side of the road.it was restarted several times each time with the wrench symbol illuminated.was only able to drive home at 45mph and the car bucked and stalled two times.will be calling ford for repair.luckily i signed up for the extended service plan when i purchased this vehicle as a certified pre owned car at the dealership.this is obviously a throttle body issue which i will be explaining to the tech's when i bring it in for repair.and more importantly, this is a major safety issue for the occupants of this car and other cars involved if an accident were to occur.
1st time, while driving at @ 50, trans bucked and stopped working, car idled along bucking. Wrench light was on. When we turned the car off, the wrench went away and trans reset. 2nd time, while driving @ 60, trans stopped working, no response, had to move over to the side of the road to shut car off and let it reset itself. Spent a week in the shop only to have it "reprogrammed" and told "the car was being confused by 2 different drivers". And that we were "red-lining" the car. When these things happen, the rpms do jump up rapidly, but never redline ( 4000 - 4500 rpms tops). 3rd and final straw, car wouldn't stop today until the tranny shifted down, buck, buck, buck, finally stopped.
Purchased this car used in july 2012. Is a 2010 and had low miles on it. Dealer claimed vehicle was a lease and was turned in. After driving the car several days, it stalled at stop sign, no engine light appeared. After re-starting, it drove fine. Several weeks later, vehicle again stalled at stop sign. No engine light. Vehicle was brought to dealer where the throttle body was replaced. Several days later, vehicle again stalled at stop light. This has been going on for over 9 months. It may not stall for several weeks. Dealer kept the car for one week, with a mechanic driving it as it was hooked up to portable diagnostic machine. It never stalled, nor did it show any engine lights. Dealer claims they cannot fix it if they do not see any indicators on diagnostic machine. It is no longer under warranty and if i want to continue to pursue this, i have to pay for each trip. Certainly, someone must have an idea of what is causing this as this seems to be a safety issue. I am expecting to be rear-ended any time now.
Stop at red light and the car refuse to accelerate. Had to coast to the side of the road. When car is cut off and turn back on it will run for a little while and does the same thing again. Kids in the car on the side of the road. When i first got the car the transmission went out, had it less than 2 wks. Now this is happening, cost over 600.00 dollars for something that is manufactured screw up. I need my car to get kids to school and work. All these complaints about the same problem needs a recall very quick before someone gets into an accident.
Intermittent problem which occurred at variable speeds (25 mph, 40 mph, 60 mph) with rapidly increasing frequency in the week before the throttle body was replaced. While driving, the engine seemed to shift out of gear. However, there was no increase in rpm in response to the accelerator. Pulled to side of road with very low rpm, the vehicle was turned off and then restarted each time without problem.
Stopped at a light making a right hand turn.proceeded out into traffic and car would not speed up, then made a jerking movement like it was stuck in gear.almost rear-ended.took it to dealer where i have an extended warranty said they could not find anything wrong.when driving tires always seem like it is always rocking from side to side.tires were rotated during regular maintenance and balanced but nothing seem to help what do i do. I like the car but would like to live to.
The problems have occurredover the last year at low speed while accelerating,when shifting into reverse and at constant speed of 40mph.while accelerating from a full stop the car would suddenly stop accelerating for a few seconds and then lurch forward and begin to accelerate again.upon startupthe car lurched when put into reverse to exit garage. On 5/22/13 the carsuddenly went into " limpmode"while at a speed of 40mph. Ithas been diagnosed by forddealer as a throttle body problem.the throttle body is on backorder with no definitive ship date. Car cannotbe driven.
Driving and the engine light comes on and the car begins to loose power.then the car looses the ability to control it and appears to not have any gas going to it and the wrench on the dash board appears and the power steering goes out.the car appears to not be getting any gas.i pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car.after it sits for a few minutes it will start again.sometimes it starts up and doesn't happen for awhile.other times it will happen again in a few minutes.it can happen at any speed like 50 mph or at anytime.
I was driving about 45 mph and felt a jerk motion and lost engine responses to gas pedal.the check engine and the wrench lights came on. I managed to pull it over on the road shoulder and stopped engine and restarted it. I continued to drive and this happened again in 2 miles. I stopped and restarted engine and drove home carefully. I did a research online and found this might be caused by the engine throttle body issue complained by a lot of mercury 2010 owners. I called a mercury/lincoln dealer andthey asked for $800 to fix it if this was a throttle body issue. They also told me there is no recall on this problem.
This has happened to me many times over the last month at least 12 times.this occurs at various speeds,the car will stall or nearly stall.i am unable to accelerate.i have to coast to a safe location turn the key off put the car in park and restart the car. Luckily the car has restarted everytime.the wrench warning light comes on after the near stall,but goes off after i restart the car. When i come to the stop the engine seems to be trying to run but has no power and the idle is very rough.i went to the dealer and they said it sounds like the throttle body.this seems to be a know problem but i don't see a recall on it? when it goes into the near stall i have no acceleration and puts me in a very dangerous position as i try to jockey to a safe location with no power.
I had just pulled out of my driveway this morning and began to accelerate, up to about 20 mph, when all of a sudden i lost total power.i looked down at the dash while steering the vehicle over to the side of the street, and noticed the "wrench" light was lit up.i immediately shut the car off, and got out my manual.the manual said the light indicated a transmission/power train/awd issue.i thought i would attempt to start the car again, and see what it would do.i restarted the vehicle, and the wrench light was no longer went, and i had power when i put it in gear.i took my chances, and went ahead and drove it work, hoping it was just a fluke, but decided i would investigate to see if others had experienced the same issue.i came across the entire listing of others who were experiencing this issue so thought i better immediately get it to the dealer and put on diagnostics.i explained to them what i thought the issue might be, the throttle body problem i had read about.they put it on diagnostics, but the only code which came up was a p0456, saying i needed to replace a valve--this code is indicated by the "service engine" light, and not the "wrench".he said they could find no codes for the "wrench" light.i told him that was strange, because the wrench light came on when i lost power.he told me the p0456 could make the car have the same types of issues.i told him i had been driving with the p0456 code for an extended period of time, and it had never affected the performance of the vehicle, so i didn't understand why it would do it now.i feel like this is the same type of issues others are experiencing, but the service manager told me previously when they saw the throttle body issue, there was always a code.not sure why there is no code showing up, but that also seems to be common.guess i will take my chances driving at this point.
Vehicle has very harsh jerky shift changes between 2-3 gear, took to dealership was told software upgrade was needed, after driving about a week, issue recurred. Returned back to dealership was told car needed db transmission because transmission gears were worn.
Driving a steady 70 mph on the interstate. Car speed started to drop and there was no response from the accelerator. Coasted the car to the shoulder. Engine remained running between 800 to 1500 rpm and surging. No response to accelerator input. Car would lurch forward. Wrench light came on. Extremely dangerous situation. Shut engine off and restarted. Condition did not improve. Was able to move the car off the interstate at less than 5 mph. Car was surging and lurching the entire time. Stopped the engine again. Waited about 10 minutes and restarted the engine. Car appears to have returned to normal operation. There are numerous complaints about this very dangerous condition.
My 2010 mercury milan would not exceed 15 miles per hour and did not respond to the gas pedal.the engine and transmission light were lit on my dashboard
Without warning, the vehicle lost power and the wrench light for the transmission came on along with the check engine light.we were at an intersection on a 6-lane highway over 600 miles from home. We were able to get off the highway by drifting off to a side road. The engine never died, but had no power at all. After shutting the car off and starting it back up, it ran fine and was able to get us home. However, within another couple of months it did the same thing again while we were on the highway approaching merging traffic. We were able to drift off the highway and start it back up. A mechanic checked the car, but was unable to detect anything wrong. It drove fine for another 3-4 months then did the same thing again only we were on an interstate and hardly had time to drift into the emergency lane between traffic.it again did this around 3 months as i just made it across the highway into the right lane.i immediately had to drift into the emergency lane and start the car up. I took it home until we could get it to the mechanic. We took it back to the mechanic and he again was unable to detect anything.he kept the car to drive himself for a week, but never witnessed the wrench light coming on or sluggish gear changing.he added fluid to it at a lack of knowing what else to do.we drove it close to 2 months now and it lost power with the wrench light coming on 3 times within a period of 40 minutes on a small road where we didn't have much room to get out of the way of traffic and on the highway just after pulling across the highway. The car is currently waiting to be looked at again by the mechanic.this issue is not showing up on computers.it has been very dangerous to drive and i feel unsafe all the time as i'm waiting for the next incident and fear i will not be as lucky at some point among traffic.
Driving about 40-50mph in traffic, the car suddenly jerked, felt like a hard gear-shift. The green wrench light & orange engine light came on and the throttle was unresponsive. The car still had power but no acceleration, engine sputtered, had to pull off the road while coasting, car was idling very rough so was shutdown. I was able to restart it but the problem recurred four times the next two days. Stopped at advance auto parts since it was early evening, they pulled dtc p2111 "throttle actuator control system stuck open" from car's computer and he says the throttle value is sticking. Scheduled service at world ford dealership where car was purchased just four months prior. I was told the throttle body needed replacing "this is very common, we replace them all the time" he said. I purchased a powertrain extended warranty with the car that states it covers the "throttle valve" among its covered parts but the service man first says that's different than the "throttle body" (my understanding is the throttle valve is the plate inside the throttle body that opens/closes controlling airflow to the manifold, it that is "stuck open", it should be covered). He then says he doesn't even know what a "throttle value" is and says it will cost approx $350 to repair. They obviously know this is a problem and are taking advantage of their customers replacing the faulty parts.
Nov. 18th, 2011. While driving east bound approx.6am, on the long island expressway, ny (route 495 east) i was going about 60 mph when the car slowed down to approx. 3 mph and jerked along, the wrench icon displayed in the dash board. .i was in the beginning of rush hour..the time was approx.6am and the sun hadn't even risen yet. It was the most scary time in my life. All i saw were trucks coming towards me. After about 30 mins..i was able to steer the car over to the left hand shoulder. I shut the car off and waited a few minutes and tried to start it again.it started fine and the wrench light did not appear..i moved forwarded on the shoulder for a few hundred feet, until i felt the car was able to function fine and then i drove it off to the nearest exit. I managed to drive the car home for additional 70 miles..without any further incident. I am scheduled to take the car in to be looked at tomorrow.
I was driving on a local road. Suddenly the car lost power and the wrench light was on. It could only go very slowly before i parked it on the roadside. I waited for several minutes and started the engine, then everything seemed just fine and the wrench light went off. After the trip i tried to connect obdii code reader but cannot get any error code.
While accelerating, the car began to jerk violently and came to a stop, and shut off. The car was unable to run or idle. It was towed to a ford dealership where they diagnosed a failed throttle body and it was replaced. I was on a residential road so no injuries, had i been on the highway, things would have been different.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that she attempted to accelerate but the vehicle would not respond. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
I was on my way to work and got on the freeway and as i accelerated to the flow of traffic, the car started splutting and i was in the middle lane with a truck close behind me and cars on each side.the speed started to decrease as i pushed on the gas petal with nothing happening. It was as though it ran out of gas and the console lights came on. I panic and tried to work my way to the side of the road.i was able to get over after the truck barely missed pitting me and coasted til the car slowed down and turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started because i knew that it wasn't out of gas, i had a full tank.there was no check engine light on at that time either.i preceded to get back on the freeway and got up to 50 mph and went to the nearest exit and my car repeated the same thing, this time with a jerking motion..that when the check engine light came on.i moved the car to a safer area and called to get it towed.it was place on the a machine that read p2111 and p2112. The auto shop informed me that it was the throttle body.
I was entering the interstate at 60 mph when my car jerked, and lost response of the acceleration. The throttle control/transmission and check engine light came on, so i restarted the car and only the check engine light remained. I was able to exit the interstate and took my car to a auto store to run a check, was told the throttle actuator control system was at fault. Noticed that this is a problem that many owners of this year make and model have. Hopefully mercury will recall this part.
When driving, the car feels like it shifts gears, the wrench light comes on and engine power is lost. After pulling over, turning off the engine and restarting, the car drives normally. This happened multiple times in one day. Dealer reprogrammed pcm and it was fine for two months. Same thing happened on june 21, 2012. This is potentially life threatening problem because it has happened at highway speeds in rush hour conditions. Many consumer reports of same symptoms can be easily found on internet by searching for "electronic throttle control."when i took car to dealer after most recent occurrence, they said their were no codes showing so there was nothing to fix. Ford needs to investigate why this is happening and recall/fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured because of this problem!
I have had three instances of the car decelerating and stalling at high speeds.the most recent incident occurred twice on 7/26/12 while driving 65 mph on the expressway the car quickly decelerated and would not accelerate.the throttle light appeared the first time and after turning the engine off, the car started again; however it occurred a second time.i had to have the car towed 35 miles to the dealership.this is very dangerous and could have resulted in a serious collision during rush hour traffic with cars and trucks traveling at high speeds.i was fortunate enough to be in the right lane with easy access to the shoulder however, a truck carrying a heavy load had to swerve to prevent rear ending me.i have seen other complaints of this same problem on the internet and the dealership has acknowledged other repairs on the throttle body of this make and model.
I was in cincinnati that weekend (3 hours away from home) and as i was pulling into the parking lot of a store, the car jerked very hard and then the wrench showed up on the dash and i lost all power.i was able to coast into a parking space.i then shut off the car and waited a bit and restarted it.the wrench came off the dash and the car was working properly again.we then went about our day and as we were heading back to my nephews football game, we were driving down 4 lanes of traffic and i had just passed a slower moving vehicle when the car jerked abruptly again and i lost all power.i put my turn signal on and was able to turn off a side road.the wrench came on again.it happen the next day as we were attempting to drive back home.we tried to drive the car back home in manual and it worked just fine.i got our car into our local car dealership and they said that it was the throttle body that needed replaced.so after forking out $375, it hasn't done anything since.the reason i'm filing this complaint is that if the throttle body would've acted up while we were traveling through the hilly roads in cincinnati, we would've been in a severe car accident.this problem is a huge concern as you lose all control of the car.you have no gas and the rpm's just quiver on the dash.if i hadn't been able to pull off of the side of the road, we would've been hurt due to a car crash.this concern needs to be sent to ford/mercury as this seems to be a huge problem once i researched it.we were fortunate that this didn't happen while we were traveling 70 mph on i-75 in ohio on our way back.the problem with the throttle body needs to be issued as a recall.it is going to get someone in a very bad accident or killed. *ln
2010 milan hybrid lost power on two occasions in heavy fast interstate traffic.safe to pullover light illuminated, max speed of 5mph , dealer replaced 12v battery first time. 4 to six months later, same dangerous scenario and one more time trying to get vehicle to a dealer.the dealer said it was a defective electronic throttle body. The only recall was on models after 2010 beginning in 2011. The 2010 were never recalled although numerous complaints. 54000 miles on vehicle.
My 2010 mercury milan premier stalled - checkengine came on - i was unable to move forward as it seemed it was trying to move forward but would not - had the code checked and it was p2112 - throttle actuator-control system - stuck closed permanent was the message for thiscode - was not expecting this at all - was driving perfect and this happened suddenly - my concern is had this happened on an interstate highway - what would ihave done? from what i read this is very dangerous - and is therea recall for this safety concern?
We were driving at normal freeway speed and i had a jolting sensation, like a bad transmission shift, followed by a loss of any acceleration or response from the accelerator.the engine didn't stall, but it slowed down to an idle.it was dangerous with the busy traffic and no speed control. I coasted onto the shoulder, stopped and shut the engine off.after several minutes i started it up and it drove normally for the rest of the 70 miles of our trip.the diagnostic report at the ford dealer showed a throttle body problem.no parts are available, ford has a national back order on the part, which shows the extent of the problem.the dealer's only solution was that i should try to return home in the car (140 miles) and go to my local dealer, which i did. My local dealer did a very good job of getting a part quickly and getting us back on the road. Because of the danger involved when this part flaw happens, this should considered for a recall and an alert to owners of the affected vehicles.
While driving at approximately 58 mph on 7/20/13 the wrench light came on, the car lost power. The car was still running but there was no reaction in power when pushing on gas pedal. Pulled the car over, put in park, it was still running, with a slight shake, turned car off waited several minutes before starting.when started the car ran fine and the light was off. Two days later, 7/22/13, this happened again while i was making a turn from a stop sign. Same thing pulled over, restarted, light was off, drove fine. Few days later, 7/25/13, car went in for oil change and tire rotation and i had them see what they could find out. Up until this point the car has ran fine, no issues, and i love the car. I was informed that it was a throttle body issue and is on back order for one-two months. I then drive the car with no issues for several days. Once again on 7/30/13 the same thing happens this time at about 35 mph, is fine once started back up. Same thing on 8/1/13. On 8/4/13 i was on my way home going approximately 55 mph and this happens, i was able to get off to the side of the road quick enough that it didn't interfere with the traffic behind me. I got down the road and was trying to turn onto my road and this happens again and i am now in middle of lane for oncoming traffic, i manage to get it going and finish turn just for it to happen again and i was almost rear ended by person turning onto road. I then let the car sit for several hours before i had to run an errand, i was only able to make it three houses down before this happened again. This is an extreme safety issue, i am luck in that i live in a rural area, but there is enough traffic or when going to work, that this could cause a bad accident causing injury not only to myself or another driver but to the children in my car.
On 5 different occasions during the past week while driving between 70 and 80 mph on the freeway the vehicle stalled and went into limp mode. On one occasion this nearly caused an accident as the vehicle stopped in the middle lane of a three lane highway.no warning lights displayed other than "limp mode light" when the vehicle engine goes to idle.upon shutting vehicle off and restarting, vehicle behaves as normal with no indicator/warning lights.took vehicle to shop to get check engine codes, vehicle shows no error codes.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph the vehicle began to vibrate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact stated on another occasion the vehicle stalled while driving approximately 50 mph. The engine and wrench warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
On at least 4 separate occasions, we were driving (two times going about 60 mph, the other two times about 30 mph) and the engine seemed to seize up or would lose acceleration. The wrench light comes on each time and we are not able to accelerate. We had to coast to the side of the road (extremely dangerous on busy highways to get over to the side of the road with no power). Once to the side of the road, we turned the car off and waited a couple of minutes. Once we turned the car back on, it seemed to work properly again. We took the car to a ford dealership to have them look at it. The error code did not register so did not know what to fix.
While driving 50mph going up a hill the car lost all power and the wrench symbol came on. Got pulled over to the side of the road after almost being hit twice. Turned the car off and waited 5 min. Restarted the car and it ran fine. Then 2 days later the same thing happened. Took it to the dealer and it coded out as the throttlebody. Well guess what they are on national back order with no estimated date of delivery. So here i sit hurry up and wait.
Car stalled 3 times - car was purchased on 10/5/13.
Purchased this milan in 2011 with 22k miles. Immediately noticed issues with the 6-speed 6f35 automatic causing the car to stop accelerating under load, leaving me dead in the water when merging in traffic.i was not informed that ford already knew of issues and i was in and out of the dealer with nothing done, until the trany had more damage.it was repaired but never properly stress tested, by either of two dealerships i went to. According to the tsb if the trany exhibited certain grades of failure, it required reprogramming and then valve body replacement, followed by a stress test to verify there was not any more extensive damage.the most i got after the valve body was changed was a suggestion that i change my trany fluid that had already been changed by ford 20k miles earlier.i then started having issues with the rear tail lights (brake/parking), with ones flickering intermittently in the cold and then dieing completely, or going full intensity and never switching back to just parking light mode.had to replace both at high cost, ford lists $400 each, basically for the equivalent of a $2 bulb.i am an ee, specializing in manufacturing, and after taking one of the failing ones apart found it is was probably related to poor part choice or design.there was nothing damaged due to water or impact.i would dump this vehicle, however i still have payments and ethically i can not sell it on the open market worrying somebody else may have a dangerous issue with it due to the questionable transmission.if the transmission had any type over stress that required the level if testing mentioned in the tsb, which is almost impossible to do in vehicle, the whole trany should have been pulled.
When i was driving to work on sunday, i was going 70 on the interstate (i had my car set on cruise control). Out of nowhere, the wrench light turned on, my car made a very loud noise, and i was unable to accelerate my car. I had to pull over at an exit, and when i came to a complete stop, my car was shaking profusely. I turned my car off, and when i tried to start it, it took it several seconds to actually start. I figured it was just a glitch, so i didn't worry about it. Two days later, i was driving down another road going 45 mph, and i was driving up a hill (my foot was on the accelerator). The same thing happened again. So i took my car to a ford dealer, and they determined that the throttle body needed to be replaced. Then, they informed me that the specific throttle body that i needed was back-ordered for 6 weeks (isn't that a sign that there needs to be a recall??), and that i would have to continue to drive my car like this until the end of july. After researching the issue, i found that over 27,000 throttle bodies have been replaced (foxnews.com), and that there are many other issues that have come up with my car. I don't feel safe when i am driving, especially because the throttle body "dies" (if that's what the technical term is) without any warning.
Just after moving from a stop at a red light, while accelerating, the vehicle began to lose power. As i drifted off the side of the road the "wrench" icon on the dash illuminated, which indicates throttle body issues, among other possible things. I had to stop the vehicle as the vehicle was unable to move under any power, and shut the vehicle off. I re-started it and i was able to continue on my way. The icon was not illuminated. This has since occurred approximately five (5) times since the initial instance. There was never any indication of performance issues prior to this first instance. In researching the occurrence i became aware of the fact that this has been an issue with the throttle bodies on several ford products manufactured around the same time as my mercury, and that there is apparently an investigation already in progress.
It sounds like the electronic throttle body problem that others are having.this has now happened 6 times (3 in excess of 60 mph).while driving the engine clunks, the check engine wrench light comes on, loose all acceleration power, and the engine is very sputter.after pulling/coasting off the road, turn the car off, wait, and then it starts right up without problem.
The engine suddenly lost power.a engine and wrench icon showed up on the dash lights.i had to coast to the side of the road on 4 occasions.when i shut off the engine and started it up again, it ran fine again.this would be an extremely dangerous situation if this occurred when i was making a left turn with oncoming traffic.i took my vehicle into o'meara ford at 7:00 a.m. On october 13, 2014.they indicated they were looking at the throttle body and would need to keep my vehicle overnight.
2010 mercury milan.consumer writes in regards to sudden deceleration while stepping on gas pedal.the consumer stated even though he was stepping on the gas pedal, the vehicle was shaking and lurching.the vehicle would not move any faster.the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where they replaced the throttle body and reprogrammed the pcm.
Started car, message came up on the panel, "power steering assist fault" now i cannot get it to shift or the stirring wheel to turn. This started on 8/20/2017. I was parked on the street in front of my home.
Takata inflators : i picked up my 2010 mercury milan after being advised of the recall and was told my vehicle could not be driven i received a call today after 2 months stating my car was ready as i arrived to the dealership i returned the rental and tried to start my own car and could not the vehicle was jumped and i left dealer turned into traffic and could not accelerate as the car was seized up into 2nd gear the belts have possible dry rot brakes have corrosion from the car being stationary all the time waiting on parts. I returned to the dealer where i was told many cars are having numerous issues and they could not help me and i was then left to drive my unsafe vehicle home
Driving down the road power steering was lost and control of the vehicle was lost causing to hit a curb damaging rack and pinion tie rod ends, wheels and tires and alignment.
Vehicle is randomly stalling out, check engine light on. It starts vibrating and making clunking noise. It happens randomly whether sitting at a light taking off or driving at high speeds. This car is literally falling apart and i haven't even owned it a year. I would never buy another mercury.
I was driving to work when my 2010 mercury milan lost power. First the engine began missing and running rough, and then the engine stalled and the rpm dropped to idle speed (idling rough). The engine would not respond to the accelerator pedal. No throttle was present. The engine continued to idle (but it was a rough idle). The wrench light on the dashboard came on. I steered the car to the shoulder and turned the ignition off. After waiting a minute or so, i restarted the engine, and it started almost normally (it took a few more cranks of the starting motor for the engine to start). Then i drove to work and aside for seeming to miss from time to time, the engine ran normally. There was no wrench light visible on the dashboard.however, that afternoon, on the way home from work, the problem happened again as described above. The engine seemed to be running normally, then started missing, and stalled. The 'wrench light' came on. I pulled off the road, turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, and then re-started the engine. There was no 'wrench light' and the engine appeared to run normally. This series of events happened three more times before i was able to get the car home and park it in the driveway. This issue happened on july 9, 2013. I took the car to the dealership and was told that the electronic throttle body had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.losing power as described above while driving in traffic is extremely dangerous.
The vehicle (which only has 30,000 miles on it) will stall at any speed without notice. There is no throttle response and engine idles rough with black smokey emissions. This condition has happened several instances, the worst case being with my wife and child trying to accelerate into traffic and suddenly experiencing a stall/no throttle situation half way into the intersection.the stalling has consistently been remedied by cycling the ignition off and then on again,then its just a matter of 20 to 200 miles and it happens again.the dealer has failed to diagnose the problem and states ford/mercury has no knowledge of a problem.the wrench light illuminates only while problem exists, it does not store a code or remain lit.the dealer has worked closely with us but is at a loss as to what the problem is.this problem needs to be addressed before my family or someone else gets hurt or worse killed.
My car has stopped numerous time in the middle of a busy expressway and has almost resulted in a accident. I had two small children in my vehicle at thetime, my car continues to stop many times and i attempted to get the problem solved but i cannot since there is a severe back order on mercury milan throttle body. Therefore i am forced to drive in unsafe conditions because of a mass problem that is obviously going on with ford/mercury vehicles.
Takata recallplus others for mercury milan 2010 manufactured in 02 and 03/2010. Vehicle was in motion all the time the errors occurred.
While driving the car begins to lose power. Then the car looses the ability to control it and appears to not have any gas going to it. The wrench on the dash board appears and the power steering goes out. The car appears to not be getting any gas. I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car. After it sits for a few minutes it will start again. Sometimes it starts up and doesn't happen for awhile. Other times it will happen again in a few minutes. It can happen at any speed or at anytime. Extremely dangerous if it happened on an interstate highway.
I was driving on the northway preparing to get in the right lane to exit and i lost all speed, no acceleration was possible but i still had radio/a/c, etc. I was able to get over and stop the car and when i put it in park it "sputtered" until i shut the engine off entirely. I waited a few moments and turned the engine back on and it started fine and then drove fine the rest of my drive. When i got back to work i researched this problem online and was surprised at the number of complaints for the same issue. Everyone had taken their car to a dealership or mechanic and could not figure it out. No warning lights came on in the dash. Finally after reading so many of the same complaints one car owner stated that a diagnosis resulted in code p2111 (faulty throttle body). I'm concerned about driving this car and having it happen again. I drive on a fast 3 lane highway about 20 miles each way to work and it's not always very easy to get over to safety. After seeing this has been investigated in another state i am hopeful it results in a recall so this problem can be properly addressed and fixed. Please help!

I was driving down the freeway at 65 mph, when the check engine and transmission light came on and the car immediately started to decelerate and i was not to give the car gas to get out of the way of moving traffic. After turning the car off and turning the car on again, the car seemed to have reset itself and the car started working properly again. A couple of months later, now at 41000 miles, the car is having this problem more frequently and is unsafe to drive. I took the car to a dealership to see what was wrong with the car when they stated to me that the throttle body kept getting stuck closed. I feel this should be looked into further as a problem with the throttle body should not be going out for a car that is still practically brand new.
Driving down busy by pass @ about 65 mph.car started to stall out.car behind me almost hit me from behind because of this.had car checked out, it was the throttle body sensor.something about not opening and/or closing properly.....had a diagnostics done: code p2111......
Intermittent electrical connectivity and issue with throttle.car has had problems since we received it in november 2010. Into walker ford clearwater 4 times recorded - 2 other times not.service department has replaced throttle body 11/12 and completed recall 13b17 (6/2014) but the same exact issues persist.service department stated at least 4 times that they cannot replicate the issue or find the issue.called customer service week of october 14, 2014 and was assigned [xxx](866-631-3788 - ext [xxx]) who we talked to at length and send a follow up email (october 16, 2014) . Called twice and not returned our calls. [xxx].said she would be back to us in a few days with a solution and have a service department prepared to fix the car.it has now been over 15 days since the original conversation.we are afraid to drive the car because,it has sudden reduction of engine power, revs into a high gear with no movement while traveling at 30-55 mph, and twice has died in the middle of intersection.same issues as described in nhtsa action number pe13003.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle simultaneously shook, jerked and decelerated to 5 mph as the wrench warning icon illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 66,000. The vin was not available.
I was driving with my infant in the car and it suddenly slowed to 20 mph in heavy traffic. Luckily i was able to get into a turn lane and then it died. I was very fortunate that the suv behind me did not hit me. He slammed on his brakes and laid on his horn. Very scary. The dealership says it is the throttle body, which is on national back-order and they do not know when it can be fixed. They have 5 others right now with the same issue.
As i was driving the car suddenly stopped and wouldn't go forward.after numerous attempts to restart itfinally would go again, but only about a quarter mile before shutting off again.i took it to a mechanic and they said it was codes p2111 and p2112 (the throttle body).
I've had multiple issues with the milan throttle body for over a year.everytime i take it to the dealer they say the computer just needs reprogrammed.after i leave the dealership my car usually has a hard failure just like it did before (loss of power, engine running rough, car rolls to a stop).i can completely turn the car off and turn back on and it runs fine again for a while and then does it all over again.the dealership will only keep reprogramming the computer.they have also replaced the throttle body 2 times but after about 100 miles it starts all over again.ford has refused to do anything other than what the dealership can find which is only what the codes say (reprogram computer or replace throttle body).i'm not going to keep taking my car in every week to get reprogrammed.ford has refused to give me a loaner car to use until they fix it.i've taken multiple days off work and arranged for other transportation for the previous work.however, enough is enough.i can't keep taking my car back for some that ford knows needs fixed.this is clearly a significant safety issue.i travel a lot on highways and interstates and when i lose power i've had some close calls will accidents (re ended) and trying to get to a shoulder to pull off and restart car.i can no longer use my car to drive my kids around due to the safety concerns of being hit during a failure or stranded. I've made this known very clearly to ford but they don't seem to care. If they do they are not acting on it. I would hate for something terrible to happen before they fix it.i'm not only concerned for my family but others that may be having similar issues with their car.all i'm asking for is for ford to recognize this is a very real and serious safety concern.they need to look a little deeper at the issue. I just want a safe car to drive until they can fix it.
Driver was proceeding on i-290 in left lane at speed of 60mph with moderate traffic. The engine started misfiring and bucking without warning and the vehicle experienced a drastic reduction of speed nearly causing accident from behind since the speed reduction was without warning.the wrench light illuminated.the engine continued to decelerate and created a situation where driver could not change lanes to right and was forced to move to left shoulder.the engine completely stalled and shut off before car stopped.after 30 minutes, vehicle started and operation resumed.service department denied any problem with vehicle.3 weeks later, while traveling 55 mph on ny rte 33, the vehicle stalled again at highway speed.the engine could be restarted but only operated with very rough condition.this vehicle is unfit and unsafe to be operated on a public highway.
While driving on a 4 lane highway, my car jerked and the wrench warning light can on and no acceleration while i pressed the gas pedal.i was able to get the car to coast to safety and when i stopped the car is was jerking back.i turned the car off for a few minutes and turned it back on, it started up and ran fine.this incident happened again today while driving in town, not once but twice while i was driving 15 mph and the 2nd incident today about 30 mph.both of these times i was able to get off the road safely, and got the car to restart and make it home 45 miles away.i am afraid to drive my car, that in heavy traffic, this could cause a serious accident.
When i am driving (i never have any advance notice) suddenly speed changes to nothing no matter what you do.then the wrench light comes on, i have to go to the side of the road turn off car and restart, then it may do the same thing again or it may quit and drive normally.has continued to happen this week!it is very dangerous and from the looks of the complaints it seems to be a repeating problem with this car.
While driving my 2010 milan at the speed of 55 mph, the car shook slightly and the wrench light appeared.the car began to lose power - i was able to steer with no problem.i could not accelerate.i shut the car off - and started it again.the first time it started with no problem.within driving 4 more miles, the same thing happened again.this time i was driving 25 mph.it happened seven more times before the check engine light came on.each time when i tried to start my car, it kept turning over before it would start.i waited for an hour on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck.when the tow arrived, the car started just fine - the check engine light was still on.this is extremely dangerous!i was driving in rush hour traffic and was almost rear ended on the highway.again when it occurred in town, there was no where for me to coast off to the side of the road, i had to stop in traffic to restart me car.
On friday i was decelerating to turn right.i was traveling at about 30mph when the rpms dropped off and the engine lost power.i coasted into a business where the engine continued to run, but violently (no engine light).i cut the engine off and called my dealer's service department.while waiting for assistance i re-started the car.it started right up so i called service again and told them i'd drive it to them.after a day with my car the dealership could not duplicate the issue nor find anything wrong with the car.additionally, they weren't able to get any trouble codes.i picked the car up on saturday and got about 20 miles from the dealership when it did it again.this time i had the cruise set at 60mph when without warning the car began slowing.i looked and saw that the rpms had dropped and i couldn't accelerate or even maintain.i pull to the side of the road where i could feel the engine running extremely rough.i cut the engine off.after a few minutes i restarted and continued to drive.it cut out on me 6-7 more times before i could get it home.the engine light is now on.the dealership's now closed so i'm waiting until monday to have it looked at again.i checked the obd ii to find code: p2111. I normally travel interstate and cannot risk this happening at high speed during rush hour traffic!
After coming to a stop and turned the corner, there was no power.pulled over and shut the car off and waited a few minutes and restarted.the wrench light that was on, shut off once the car started up.took it into the dealer.they could find nothing wrong after a diagnostic test.do not feel secure in driving as wonder when this will happen again.
The car behaves as if it was suddenly put into neutral. When you hit the gas the engine revs, but the transmission does not engage. The wrench and engine lights come on, and the car will sometimes sputter like it is going to shut off completely. The only way to get the car to function normally is to stop the car and turn it off and back on. I have had this happen on major highways and other busy roads. The problem is unpredictable. A mechanic has determined this to be a problem with the throttle body, but the part is on national back order. My car is un-drive-able.
I wasdriving with the cruise control set at 60mph and the car popped and lost speed and the car would barely stay running. I pulled off the road ( during rush hour) and shut the car off. I re-started the car and it ran correctly.
It has happened many times since the first time, but i was driving down the highway at approximately 50 mph and the orange wrench light came on and i could not get my gas pedal to do anything. I pulled over, shut the car off and restarted it and it was fine for a couple of days with no incidents. Then it did it about a week later, several times in a row going down the interstate. It seems to start up ok after i shut it down, but very unsafe to be driving down the interstate at 70 mph and then have no power and have to pull off. My engine light turns onafter this happens a couple of times and then will shut off after a couple times of driving.
1st time, while driving at @ 50, trans bucked and stopped working, car idled along bucking. Wrench light was on. When we turned the car off, the wrench went away and trans reset. 2nd time, while driving @ 60, trans stopped working, no response, had to move over to the side of the road to shut car off and let it reset itself. Spent a week in the shop only to have it "reprogrammed" and told "the car was being confused by 2 different drivers". And that we were "red-lining" the car. When these things happen, the rpms do jump up rapidly, but never redline ( 4000 - 4500 rpms tops). 3rd and final straw, car wouldn't stop today until the tranny shifted down, buck, buck, buck, finally stopped.
Under load (acceleration into traffic), the transmission does not engage, stuck between gears causing the car to redline and go nowhere. Also, noticed stuttering in shifting of the car at certain gears.does this very intermittently, but when it does, it could have been in dangerous situations if i was trying to merge into traffic.ford service was unable to replicate, but it has done it a half dozen times since the first time i bought the car.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact statedwhile driving 50 mph, the transmission would not shift gears. While driving it was difficult to tell which gear the vehicle was in and the rpms increased rapidly. The contact released the accelerator pedal which lowered the rpms. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the vehicle was operating normally. The failure mileage was 11,000.updated 05/05/11*lj updated 5/2/11the consumer stated from a dead stop up to 45-50 mph, the transmission would automatically shift into 6th gear.updated 05/26/11.

I have a 2010 mercury milan this car has been in the shop many times the transmission was slipping it has left me in the middle of an intersection and the last straw was 3 weeks ago when the transmission kicked in when i was turning it popped my neck and i hit a curb. I do not feel safe in the car. One time the gas pedal stuck and i had to reach down and pull out my floor mat. Also trim parts just fall off of this thing.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he heard a loud thumping noise coming from the front passenger side. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the drive shaft needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.
After just 22000 miles, the seat was stuck in the full up position.i couldn't make the seat go down, and my head kept hitting on the roof.apparently a cheap plastic gear breaks.ford wanted over $800 for a seat track, not including labor.it did not look like there was any way to replace this gear myself.i ended up getting a seat at a junkyard for $150.i should not have had to do that with just 22000 miles on the car.the seat track is defective, and appears to have been redesigned in 2011 after just 1 model year, so somebody knows something...
I was driving straight at a steady 30 mph and hit the brakes on light ice when approaching a red light. The antilock brakes activated for about one-half second, and then the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, with only the most minimal braking occurring in the very last inch of pedal travel. The car came to a stop in the middle of the intersection. Fortunately, there was no cross traffic entering the intersection at the time and there were no injuries.i took the car to the lincoln dealer who said the abs module had failed, as had the master cylinder.at no point during the event, or afterward, did any brake light come on and no warning message displayed on the dashboard textual display, despite the car having virtually no brakes. The car was in the dealer repair shop for five days and i was charged $1,686.66.at no point prior to the failure did the brakes exhibit any issues what-so-ever. It was a sudden and full brake system failure with absolutely no prior warning and no dashboard indicators of brake failure afterward.
June 2015: made a 'hard stop' to get out of path of emergency vehicle. Made 2 turns (slowing car down) and safely made turns without incident. Third turn (right turn), released gas pedal, stepped on brakes, brake pedal went low (towards floor), car eventually stopped, approximately 15ft, further than expected. This happened within 10 minutes from initial 'hard stop'. Checked brake fluid level, noticed fluid level above minimum line, but also noted fluid color had some color (aware that color in brake fluid is not good). Made appointment for service at dealership authorized service center .service center indicated brake lining problem (not within tolerance), and replaced them.note: city driving, dry day, light morning traffic.no brake warning light or abs warning light illumination on dash board.july 2015:exiting one highway to get onto another highway, needed to brake to get onto exit ramp. Took foot off gas pedal, signaled to turn right, stepped on brake to slow down and exit. Brake pedal went low (towards floor), car took more time to slow down than anticipated. Made way to destination (at reduced speed) and depressed brake pedal to identify if/how car could stop. Called service center, explained what occurred and brought car back to service center. Service center identified master cylinder needed replacing and it was replaced. Note: highway driving, dry day, midday traffic-light.no brake warning light or abs warning light illumination on dash board.august 2015: local driving, on highway, exiting to the right, took foot off gas pedal, then started to depress brake pedal. Car started to slow down then felt rapid thumping underfoot while depressing brake pedal, brake pedal went low (towards floor). Car eventually stopped. Check brake fluid level (at max line) and fluid color clear. Car towed to dealership service center. It is still there.
Driver rear brake light stays on when lights are on. People stop me and say the brake light is too bright when they are following me. They tell me this is a safety hazard because they have to look at it and they get annoyed.
One month after my nhtsa complaint # 10563879, the left side tail/brake light system is now responding in the same manner. Ie: brake lights function normally during the day without the tail lights on, but when tail lights are activated, they shine at full 100% intensity, as if the brakes were applied. Brake application is now only shown by the small third center light. Whenever i see a milan in my city at night, which is the only time it will be evident, i try to follow it to see if it has this issue also. I'll find that usually 1 or both of this vehicles lights do this, and the owners do not realize it. I feel this is a widespread safety issue, compounded by the owner being unaware of a problem. No dash warning is shown.and yes, ford wants $400 for this lamp. Replacing it is the only fix.
The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that after shifting the vehicle from park into drive, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that a bi-directional scan tool was needed to bleed the braking system. Additionally, the brake master cylinder and abs control module were replaced; however, the repairs did not correct the failure. Lakeland ford (1430 w memorial blvd, lakeland, fl 33815, (863) 682-1100) was contacted, but was uncooperative in getting the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
Intermittent problem with soft brake pedal that went to floor nearly causing an accident. My mechanic checked the master cylinder and could not pinpoint the problem. Took vehicle today (07-11-2018) to wayne lincoln mercury to determine what is causing my car to keep having this problem. I have lost almost one week of work and the mechanic still has not figured out what is causing my brakes to fail. Unable to bleed the brakes, according to my mechanic. Now waiting on wayne lincoln to figure out what the problem is. Already reported the condition to ford and learned this is a problem that you and ford are already aware of.
Led brake light flickers on and off.
Extended brake pedal travel several times almost causing accident; previously reported under 11151367.my vin should be included in recall 19s54 and very surprised it was not included - i am scared to drive my car until corrected - please advise - thank you
The initial incident in november, 2013 was the failure of the passenger side rear led tail light assembly.this resulted in the brake lights not operating when the brakes were depressed.a police officer stopped the car for a warning due to the brake light failure.mileage on the car at the time was 12,700 miles. Due to the safety hazard the repair was needed. The entire assembly, not just a single bulb needed to be replaced. Approximately 10 months later in september, 2014 the driver side rear led tail light is now malfunctioning in the same way.brake lights are again flickering and not working when the brakes are depressed.mileage on the car at the time of this next failure was 16,100 miles.the dealer quoted price to repair is over $450!this car is garage kept, well maintained and has not been in involved in any accidents.ford should fix this defect under a safety recall free of charge to customers!
When pushing on the brake pedal the brakes, at times, do not grab as they are supposed to. I've pushed the pedal to the floor and kept moving. This does not happen all the time, but it is reoccurring. This event has happened to me at lest three times.
Brakes failing!vehicle will stop on initial depression of brake pedal.condition arises when once at a complete stop after initiating a braking event, if pedal is released and then re-depressed, the pedal will go to the floor and the vehicle will not stop.condition is intermittent, but guaranteed to happen.
I was at a store for a while i came outside i crank my car put the car in reverse simultaneously the traction control light the abs system light came on along with the power steering going out i did see. This is all the symptoms of a recall but it is not associated with my vin number now the dealership that has my vehicle has service three other recalls where is servicing three other recalls that has told me that now i will have to pay $3,500 for a rack and pinion replacement and whatever this recall causes for my brakes
For the past several months, the brake pedal has been intermittently low and now is very low all the time. My understanding is that this is a common problem with the hydraulic abs valve unit that does not allow full pressure to reach the calipers, resulting in the low pedal. It is not the master cylinder. My research has shown that this is a broad problem with the mercury milan and the ford fusion. This needs to be investigated as a significant safety issue because it is a safety issue. It is a very common problem and can result in a suddenly unexpected increase in stopping distance and result in accidents, injury, and death.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 18v046000 (air bags). Montrose ford (3960 medina rd, fairlawn, oh 44333, (330) 666-0711) was unable to determine when the part would become available for an extended period of time. The dealer provided the option of a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was also included in field service action number: 13n03 (electronic throttle body extended coverage). The contact also stated that when the brake pedal was depressed for three days or longer, it became more difficult to stop the vehicle and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact traveled through a red light due to the failure. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in any brake system recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The car brakes no longer work, replaced brake pads and calipers and still no brakes. Took it to dealer and they said there is a recall in place and still no fix. It's been almost a year now.
Right rear brake light stays engaged constant, 100% luminous when headlights are on. Dealer replaced complete tail lamp assembly january 1, servicedfebruary 2012 under warranty.mileage 32141. Now a second time same problem with same right lamp. Not sure how long it has been that way. I was notified by family member when they were following me home one evening.70000 miles. These led lamps are expensive, seems as if lighting has faulty parts assembly malfunction instead of a routine light replacement.multiple complaints listed here for same issue. Is there a recall? i have not received anything for a recall. Now has become a safety concern.
When the brake pedal is released the car doesn't move forward or backward. The brakes are sticking between stopped and go. This problem also occurs when the car is in motion and there is shaking and a vibration that literally comes out of nowhere. The main question here to be answered; is the abs valve and the hydraulic control unit working properly?currently the car is not covered under the ford recall 19s54. The recall for the abs hydraulic control unit needs to be expanded to cover all mercury milan vehicles. The testing and or replacement of the hcu is critical for all milan owners safety. I was told at my dealership that there is no recall and the abs light isn't on so there isn't any problem. I am going to see if i can get this problem repaired on my own after dealing with this issue for the past six months.
The brake pedal had excessive travel. When pressure was applied to slow the vehicle, the pedal would not hold steady, but would drift to the floor. The vehicle would slow down and stop, but when slowing from a relatively high speed, it was necessary to "pump" the brake pedal. One would have to wonder if total brake failure would eventually occur. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair. It was in the shop for several days, as no reason for the problem could be determined. Eventually they contacted ford for technical assistance in diagnosing the problem. According to their tests, the problem was with the hydraulic control module, which was bypassing brake fluid internally, and it was replaced. While it has only been a few days since the repair, the brake performance is much improved. I checked online and see that there have been problems with ford fusions and mercury milans having brake failure. I believe that this is a serious problem that could result in injury or death. Drivers of my vehicle, even after repair, anticipate potential brake problems when we drive.
I have a 2010 mercury milan. There is an open recall on the hydraulic brake system for over a year without a remedy. I am nervous to drive long distances or sell it because of what might happen. There has been no communication from ford.
Twice tail lamp has failed & is not under warranty. Brake lite quits working without driver knowing.
Abs engaged and then brakes went to the floor. Brakes have been soft ever since.dealer replaced hcu but problem persists. Dealer claims brakes are responding correctly. They are not.
Can not restore brakes tried replacing mastercyclinder and abs also bleed abs and master cylinder still no brakes
The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 30 mph, the brakes failed to engage when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the driver rear ended another vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.
Ref to complaints # 11173378, 11301848, 11301849.update:january 2020recall # 19v904 was issued in december 2019 for the abs pump issue.i was notified this month (jan 2020) that fusions, mke's, zepher's and milan's for model years 2006 thru to model year 2010, was issued for vehicles manufactured until july 15th 2009.my 2010 milan was manufactured on 07/24/2009 and is not included in the recall.for most of the last year, i have not let my wife drive this vehicle if there is rain, mist or snow on the roads because of this defective abs brake system.as you can expect i'm outraged that this could happen.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 5 mph to park, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle accelerated without warning. In order for the vehicle to stop, the brake pedal had to be depressed numerous times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
The brake light, abs light, and electric stabilizer lights came on, which resulted in the loss of full braking. I took the car to my mechanic; he discovered that the abs pump was leaking.i purchased a used abs pump, and after installing it, the mechanic had no success resetting the codes.he told me it could be that the part is a used one, so i ordered a new abs pump from parts maven ford.after installing the new part, the mechanic had the same issues with it as well.the mechanic is not able to clear or reset all codes for the electric stabilizer, abs, and brake lights and adequately calibrate the brakes.it left the brake very soft on the pedal, and it required pressing the brake hard to the floor to bring the car to a full stop.what's worst, when moving from the park, the car would roll forward or backward and is not stopping the vehicle as it ought to do.it takes longer to stop, and it requires pressing hard on the brake and longer distance to come to a full stop.upon further research, the mechanic found out that ford knew about the problem and had issued a recall for owners who were experiencing the same problem mentioned above to have their vehicles fix for free at a ford repair shop.i contacted ford on 10/12/20 only to be told by the ford repair shop and on an online chat with a ford rep that my car, while it's one of the vehicles listed in the recall, is not applicable due to my vin#.it is very troublesome because ford only limited the recall to some 2010 mercury milan hybrid and not to mine.it's a safety issue that they admitted to knowing about and is the only one who can fix it, yet they refuse to include my car.since i have been without the use of my car for over one month, i have no choice but to take it to a ford repair shop and get it to fix at my own expense and will follow-up with a lawsuit against ford to get my money reimbursed.
The contact owns a 2010 (na) mercury milan. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brakes and rotors were corroded and were cleaned up by the technician. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (bill brown ford in livonia, mi) where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic unit, all four brakes, and the rotors needed to be replaced. The failures were not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and a voice message was left with a representative. The contact stated that no one returned the call. The failure mileage was 33,808.updated 10/18/17*lj
Driver side tail lamp assembly is not functional seems the led portion of the taillight assembly needs to be replaced at a cost of $400-500 from the dealer. This is the second taillight in the 2 years of ownership that it has had to be replaced. Very poor design and safety concern of mine since this is no longer a $2.00 bulb replacement but an entire taillight assembly.
The driver's side break light is hyderactive when my headlights are on. When the headlights are off the break light works fine. This seems to be a popular issue with many mercury milians. The part was 377.00 to replace it and i have no had the car a full year. Also my driver's side actuator in my headlight went as well. My first car purchased ever and it was ford and i have had nothing but issue with the car. Disappointing.
My wife had a total brake failure (pedal went to the floor, no warning lights or any prior problems) as a result of which she went through a red light. She rolled to the side of the road where she shut everything off. When she restarted the brakes worked fine. Ford deler says a $1454 new hcu unit may fix the problem. No other diagnosis even though brake system was thoroughly examined.
At night, as my son was approaching a 4 way stop on a city street in slick, icy conditions,abs kicked in and locked up and slid through the stop sign.since that time, the abs has not worked.the brakes sill work, butyou have depress it nearlyall the way.took it to the mechanic last week, and said hcu valve was sticking and not closing.noted their was a recall on this for early manufactured model nhtsa #19v904.
Please investigate the milan / fusion soft braking issue.without notice on a turn, the brakes go to the floor.this happened in nov. 2017 and july 2018.in nov. 2017 the fluid was flush but it reoccurred. Fortunately, no one was in front of me or there would have been an accident or fatality. The car took an excessive distance to stop.this is a known problem that ford must correct before someone dies.
Brake failure:i was driving on interstate (55 miles per hour), and when traffic stopped, i went to put on brakes and my brakes went straight to the floor!!i kept hitting the brakes and hitting the brakes and they kept going to the floor.it was a blessing that i was able to pull over on the side of the road in the off lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me.i had to have my vehicle towed to a body shop. I was informed that the master cylinder and some kind of pump (asb pump) or something was bad.i could have run in the back of a vehicle and someone (including myself) could have been injured.i have googled this and there are over 700 complaints on milan brakes.why isn't there a recall on these?!!
It first started with the passenger rear tail light. The led brakelight failed, led lights are known to last for 20+ years and these lasted about four. After that a bulb went out, when the bulb was replaced it still didn't resolve the issue. There are two components to the tail light, an inner light attached to the rear trunk and a outer light on the actual rear body. First, the inner passenger went out, then the inner driver's and then the outside passenger. Now finally, the outside driver's side has started flickering. Doing minor google searches immediately returns results with other vehicles having the same problem.
My mercury milan has 124,000 miles on it and i just experienced the soft brake problem while parking my car in the garage at a slow speed and the pedal went to the floor. Now when i drive the vehicle, the pedal goes almost all the way to the floor to stop now and has not returned to normal. I called ford direct after contacting my local dealership, and they told me that my car does not fall with in thedate range from manufacturing (6 mos) for the ford issued recall number 19s54. They basically told me this is an owners expense now. Clearly the bosch hcu parts ford installs are defective and and they should cover the cost. I just received an estimate of almost a $1000 to replace the hcu and flush the break system. I am at a lost for words in how i feel about this.
Exact same issue as reported in 2007-2009 mercury milan. Brakes are super soft after i had brand new brake pads, rotors and calipers put on and had the lines bled for any air in them. I almost crashed due to this issue a few times with one being almost deadly. I was driving roughly 55 miles an hour on a highway when i tried stopping and the brakes basically gave out for no apparent reason. I lost control of the vehicle but was able to avoid a crash and almost had a heart attack from it. The brakes continue to be super soft and it requires a lot of distance to make sure my car stops on stop signs and traffic lights in time. It is extremely unsafe and i basically cannot drive my only vehicle that i have.

Immediately after the abs brake system activated, my brake pedal went to the floor and i went thru a red light.my research indicates that this is a common issue with the abs pump/module.my vehicle was in motion on a busy street and fortunately didn't hit a car at the intersection, when i went thru the red light.i was told to go to a ford dealership to have the defect confirmed.i called the closest ford dealership and they want $129 to do diagnostics to confirm my brakes aren't working before they can confirm.update:january 2020recall # 19v904 was issued in december 2019 for the abs pump issue.i was notified this month (jan 2020) that fusions, mke's, zepher's and milan's for model years 2006 thru to model year 2010, was issued for vehicles manufactured until july 15th 2009.my 2010 milan was manufactured on 07/24/2009 and is not included in the recall.for most of the last year, i have not let my wife drive this vehicle if there is rain, mist or snow on the roads because of this defective abs brake system.as you can expect i'm outraged that this could happen.
The passenger side led brake light assembly is constantly illuminated as if the brakes are applied but they are not.makes a safety hazard as it is distracting to drivers that are following and they may misjudge my braking.this is the second assembly that i have had go faulty.the first was the day i bought it but the dealer replaced the $400 part for free.
I was in motion merging onto a two lane highway.i ran over two consecutive manhole covers while lightly braking to see if it was clear. But when i went to brake because it wasn't clear to merge onto the highway i had barely any brake! thankfully the car in front of me was able to merge or i would have hit him. After that i had a very soft brake pedal. Left it in a parking lot until after work. So hours later, the brakes seemed fine. But i didn't trust it. Had it towed and ford told me it was the abs hcu and ecu and that they are known for this problem. Especially after traveling on a rough roadway. I had to go back to the road the next day because i couldn't remember it being a rough road. Then i saw the two consecutive manhole covers. I ran them over in my husbands truck and sure enough, even his truck jolted from them, enough for the abs to engage. This is a horrible issue and i'm amazed that ford has not made it a recall yet! what will it take!? the repair was quite expensive. And i was out of a car for two whole weeks! it took almost a week for the part to come in. Not sure if that was the dealers bs or ford not having the parts readily available for an issue they already know exists. This has not been my first ford product but it sure may be my last!
Immediately after the abs brake system activated, my brake pedal went to the floor and i went thru a red light.my research indicates that this is a common issue with the abs pump/module.my vehicle was in motion on a busy street and fortunately didn't hit a car at the intersection when i went thru the red light.i was told to go to a ford dealership to have the defect confirmed.i called the closest ford dealership and they want $129 to do diagnostics to confirm my brakes aren't working before they can confirm.are you kidding me? *lncontact stated complaint was sent in about a year ago and has not been driven most of the year. *dtconsumer's vehicle was not part of the recall but would like to add the abs system and the system pulse to the recall. *dtpedal went to the floor when driven in snowy conditions.
While my vehicle is in motion, every time that i hit a large bump or have to engage the abs system by having to stop very quickly, the brake pedal goes so soft that even to stop at a stop light after going at low rates of speed, i have to push it all the way to the floor so that i can come to a full stop. The problem eventually corrects itself, but it takes at least a few hours and sometimes up to a day or more. This can happen in all any driving condition (city street, highway, driveway, etc...), and at any speed (as low as 5 mph).i recently read that 2007-2009 models were being investigated for the exact same reason, and wanted to make sure that the 2010 model was added to the list because i feel very un-safe driving my car sometimes, and the abs system is such a vital component to a safe drive. Also, after reading the next page, the most recent instance happened just yesterday (5/21/17), but this has been going on since i bought the car in january of 2011. My mechanic has never been able to experience it, so he doesn't know how to fix it, but from what i've read, the hydraulic brake controller is the faulty part. Can you please put a re-call out on this??
Took car in to ford dealer for servicing per recall 15s34 on 4/27/16.dealer notified me that brake lights are; "....stuck onwhen parking lights or headlights are on -- they work if headlights are off ....".(see noughton ford aurora, co invoice #focs418452). This is a hazard!!!!!
Brake pedal goes to floor randomly. Almost ran 2 stop signs and had accident.shop says is faulty abs module due to leaky valves - will cost 1500.00 to repair.110,000 mi. Why is there no recall on this safety issue from ford?
I was driving in snow and ice going down a hill when my abs activated. Suddenly the brake pedal hit the floor. Once that happened it took twice as long to stop the vehicle. Brought the vehicle home. Bled the brakes, same thing pedal hit the floor. Changed the abs hydraulic pump, bled the brakes and used a scan tool to bleed the abs hydraulic pump. Then rebled the brakes. Same result pedal goes to the floor. Then changed the master cylinder bled the master cylinder and bled the brakes. Same result pedal hits the floor. However this time i have no brakes. I have to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. I have not been able to drive the vehicle on the road in almost 2 months. I have spent almost $1500 dollars and countless hours fixing and researching this issue. I have noted that many others are having similar issues with their milan's and fusions of similar years.
When you release the brake pedal the car doesn't move as if the brakes are still being pressed.when you gently touch the gas pedal you hear a noise and then the car starts moving forward slowly. The car also does this while driving by applyingthe brakes occasionally when not necessary.
At least once a month, when i pull out of my driveway and press the brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor and the car doesn't stop.this happened again on august 3rd, 2021.i have had it to the dealer for this issue and paid to have the abs valve replaced out of pocket.ford said the recall "didn't cover my vin #" and they will not reimburse me.despite having that part replaced, at significant expense, the issue still happens fairly frequently.driving the car around the block slowly, repeatedly pumping the brakes, is the only way to temporarily resolve the issue.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard. The brake warning indicator light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer but, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 73,,000. The contact stated the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number:19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Was leaving my church parking lot going straight up the isle doing maybe 15 miles per hour when a car backed out right in from of me. When i slammed my brakes on the peddle went to the floor with no response. I pulled my emergency brake to stop with just a few inches. This is the third time it has happened.if i slowly apply pressure to the peddle it stops normally.after replacing brake pads, rotors, and bleeding all 4 lines multiple times it hasn't helped and this past sunday 1-6-2019 was a very close call. I researched the issue online and came across 42 other complaints of the same thing on another site.
I have had 6 accident with this car. I have all the info, reports, tickets, repairs and so on. And the file is about 1/2 and all the maintenance on the upkeep. Please contact me atmy e-mail [xxx]. I am really looking forsome reimbursement on some of theexpenses that has incurred during all this. I am on a fixed income and it was a gift from my mom when she passed away. She wantedme to have a safe car and this car hasbeen nothing but unsafe. Please help me get my monies back. I have called after ever accident and no response, after the second accident i would not take on the expressway and do not exceed over 45. My car always took the most damage because it went under the car. No one ever got hurt. I kept my distance and it still happened.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle leaked fuel and there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to oxmoor ford lincoln (100 oxmoor ln, louisville, ky 40222, (502) 426-2500) where it was diagnosed that a new fuel tank was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer also found that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. New brakes were installed; however, front brakes were installed instead of rear brakes. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
I was driving in the road and drove over a pothole.as i pressed the break pedal, the pedal vibrated and went "soft." i had to press the brake all the way down to the floor to get the car to stop.it happened three times.the first two times, the brakes return to normal in a about 15-30 minutes, but after the third time, the breaks stood "soft."i talked to service specialist at a ford dealer and they are aware of this problem.my investigation lead to this problem affecting milans from 2009 and below.well mine is a 2010 and it also has this issue.
Rear left brake light is malfunctioning --local shop said it is not the bulb, rather the whole rear (left) light assembly and the sensor attached to the brake pedal.this car only has 18,000 miles on it -- this should not be failing at this point -- cost to repair is approx. $1000 (for parts, labor) -- others also believe this to be a manufacturer defect -- a 'recall' should be done -- the brakes are a safety issue -- if the driver behind you doesn't see the brake lights come on, the milan can get read-ended.
My son was almost rear ended on the freeway, which prompted my inspection of our 2010 mercury milan. I found the brake lights work as they should in daylight. When the headlights come on though, the right rear tail light shows the brake lights intensity 100% of the time, and is unaffected by brake pedal application. Left rear brake/tail light, and upper 3rd brake light operate normally.i consider this a major safety concern, especially after researching this led light system. This vehicle shows repeated widespread incidents, exactly as i describe. Some people report both lights malfunctioning.my concern is that it takes a third party to tell you that your tail/brake lights are not operating correctly, so most owners wont know they have a problem. This could be more common to this vehicle than it already appears to be. I only personally know one other person with the same vehicle and they have the same problem !issue is not currently acknowledged by ford, probably because it is a $400 lamp that must be replaced in its entirety.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed as it traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the emergency brake had to be engaged to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the master cylinder was replaced, but would not bleed. The vehicle was then towed to knox ford (461 s dixie blvd, radcliff, ky 40160, (888) 433-4805) where the contact was informed that the booster and master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the cost of the repair would not be free of charge. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.
Driver side rear brake light staying illuminated constantly as if the brake is pressed and nearly caused crash (i had two small children sitting in the back of my milan), had the vehicle behind me not went into the ditch a collision would have been inevitable. Please look into this problem as it has the potential to cause bodily harm andinjury to the occupants. I had no idea there was a problem with constant illumination until this point. Upon scheduling an appointment at the ford dealership and doing a little research i see this is a frequently reported problem but no recall has yet been issued nor an investigation. Also since learning of this problem this morning and observing the vehicle brake lights there is also a flicker of lights every so often.
When driving my vehicle downhill, the brakes do not grab at all. Most times on the road, they work fine.had mechanic check master cylinder, pads and rotors.all checked out fine.he's had other vehicles with same problem, changed all the previous listed parts without any success.upon changing the abs module, the problem is solved.my husband's company has a fleet of ford fusions (basically same car as my milan) and people have encountered this same problem which has been resolved when the abs module is changed.i have also read of many other complaints regarding the exact same issue online.i believe this poses an extremely dangerous situation.the brake pedal goes completely to the floor.i have to use my emergency brake. I have to wonder how many accidents were caused due to the abs module interfering with the brakes ability to work properly.my car currently only has 25,000 miles and has already been recalled for their lights.i truly believe ford is aware this is a problem but is denying any responsibility.## vin passed ## mercury milan 2010 ##
Driver side rear brake light is fully illuminated at all times when the headlights are on. This is a safety issue and replacement of the driver side taillight is $400+.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard causing the distance to be extended. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to (bommarito ford located at 675 dunn rd, hazelwood, mo 63042, (314) 895-0600) and was diagnosed. The contact was informed that thehcu valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 87,163.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. On several occasions, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the stopping distance was increased. On one occasion, the vehicle drove through an intersection before coming to a stop. The contact, a certified mechanic, diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I have a 2010 mercury milan with 40,000 miles on it.recently someone pointed out to me that the driver-side brake light is continuously activated.consequently when braking, drivers behind me are only notified by the right and center brake lights.it seems to only happen when the headlights are on. My research shows this to be a common issue with the 2010 mercury milan with some having both brake lights malfunctioning.diagnosis says it is a faulty led brake light assembly, which would imply a bad circuit board. This is a serious safety hazard and should be recalled.i contacted ford about it and they directed me to a dealer saying they, (ford) would probably pay for the repair.after i contacted the dealer, ford changed their mind and said that since i didn't buy the car new, they didn't consider me a "loyal'" ford customer and will not cover any of the cost.it seems ford is only concerned about the safety of their "loyal" customers.
The contacts owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph he heard audio signals. There were warning indicator lights illuminated that stated check brake system, abs. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The mechanic diagnosed that the computer system and the brake mechanism had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer wasmade aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,250.
I was driving and brake pedal started slowly losing pressure i replaced brake calipers and rotors and still have the same problem i believe it is to be the abs brake system i'm not sure how to go about replacing this or what to do to file for a recall
With some snow and ice on road on 1/8/17 in roanoke, va, car brakes went almost all the way to floor and then rear wheel started locking up intermittently. This occurred as backing out of driveway and starting down residential street. I got out of car and had son drive back into driveway. I witnessed the drivers side rear wheel locked down for about 30 ft. Before the wheel started rolling again. Was going very slow at time so no accident. Struggled just to get car back in driveway. Will take car to dealer when weather clears.
Replaced abs and master cylinder and can't restore brakes after bleeding them out there was still no brakes replaced abs and master cylinder rebleed them and still no brakes
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while reversing from her driveway, when depressing the brake pedal to the floor but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated she hit the curb and stopped the vehicle movement. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was taken to local dealer sesi lincoln (3990 jackson rd, ann arbor, mi 48103:(877) 752-9031) and was informed of future recall associated to her failure. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic), however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown .vin tool confirms parts not available.
While my wife was driving the car, brakes felt soft and car wouldn't stop. She was in a residential area at low speeds and was able to coast to a stop. She restarted the car and everything was fine. Ford says it's due to a faulty abs module which seems to be a known issue, but no safety recall. Issue also affected traction control system and prevented hybrid from staying in ev mode when accelerating at low speeds. Ford charging over $1,200 to replace abs module.

When braking to slow down or get to a stop the brake pedal pressed down but the car didn't seem to stop as quick as it should have.a while later, when having to brake quickly, the car hit another vehicle infront of it. The accident took place on a city road. No police report was filed because the other car's bumper had minor damage unlike my car which the front & hood of has substantial damage.the repair estimate for me was about 4k dollars which is higher than i can afford.
The tail lights on the car keep fading out. The right tail light is completely out and the left tail light flashes, instead of just staying on as the brake is being pressed.
When the lights are on (at night), the rear lights are continuously at their highest brightness, as if the brakes were pressed down. So, it appears that the brakes are on continuously. The only difference when the brake pedal is pressed down is that the central light high up on the trunk turns on. This is only an issue at night- during the day the brake lights function normally. Based on internet forums at edmunds and consumer reports, among others, i have found at least 10 other instances of this exact same problem with 2010 mercury milans, most with low mileage: e.g.http://forums.consumerreports.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&tsn=1&webtag=cr-38aujohn&tid=5115 ; http://www.edmunds.com/mercury/milan/2010/consumer-discussions.html. My car has only 15,000 miles on it. This clearly appears to be a factory wiring defect, and one that is not immediately obvious when the car is purchased (we only found out about it when someone we knew was following our car at night, three months after purchase of the car). The fix, according to ford, is to replace both tail lights, at a cost of $1000. Ford refuses to help pay for the repairs or acknowledge the defect. Given the obvious safety implications of continuously active brake lights, the documented record of the defect, and the non-obvious nature of the problem (many people may be driving around with this problem without realizing it), nhtsa needs to press ford to acknowledge the defect and perform a recall.
Faulty abs pump causes low brake pedal, soft braking. I have almost rear-endvehicles due to the brake pedal going to the floor during normal driving. Seems to be a common fault on these fusions/milans.
The brakes are soft. Sometimes i don't know if im going to be able to stop in time. I replaced the master cylinder and bled the brakes and nothing. I googled it and there has been multiple complaints from people with the same year make and model as myself. Driving on the highway the other day i had to make a sudden stop and i just about crashed into the vehicle in front of me. It's not safe.
There is currently a recall for abs but my vehicle is not included although it has the same issues as the other cars that are being recalled.
Ref: complaint # 11173378 and complaint # 11301848.i didn't get the whole of my note in the required space.update:january 2020recall # 19v904 was issued in december 2019 for the abs pump issue.i was notified this month (jan 2020) that fusions, mke's, zepher's and milan's for model years 2006 thru to model year 2010, was issued for vehicles manufactured until july 15th 2009.my 2010 milan was manufactured on 07/24/2009 and is not included in the recall.for most of the last year, i have not let my wife drive this vehicle if there is rain, mist or snow on the roads because of this defective abs brake system.as you can expect i'm outraged that this could happen.
While in motion, the antilock brakes will randomly lock up, increasing stopping distance significantly enough to cause a car accident
I have had the milan 2010 into ford 6 times because the engine lost all power without warning:no lights;brakes;steering.i have witnesses.it has happened in all types of conditions:stop and go traffic; merging onto a freeway.the last time black smoke came from under the hood.the car was in the shop for 6 weeks.a week after it was so called "repaired" the problem occurred again.i started a "lemon law" complaint in march 2012.my mother became fatally ill and died and i could not complete the claim.june 15, 2012 i was pulling into a parking space and the electrical system failed.i could not stop.i crashed into a cement wall.the car was a total loss.i got whiplash.my insurance company will not pay the balance remaining on the car.bbb stopped "lemon law" case because there was an accident.no attorney will take the case because there is not enough money to be gained.i am without a car; in debt; injured; driving a rental car and working 12 hours a day to buy a new car.please help me.
Right rear brake light activates and stays on while running/headlights are turned on.i have also seen this while driving behind similar milans.some with both sides activated leaving only the center light to indicate actual braking.
I don't have brakes and the abs and brake light is on.
The date of the occurrence is unknown. The car currently has 24,000 miles on it. The left tail light does not work and the left brake light does not work. The right brake light works when the headlights are off (as in daylight) but does not work when the headlights are on (as at night). The right tail light works when the headlight switch is on but is very bright, indicating that the brake light is on, even though the brake pedal is not depressed. Obviously, there is a defect in the circuitry. All of the long-life led bulbs couldn't have failed at once. The dealer wants to charge us $550 per light unit to supposedly correct the problem. This is a serious design defect safety issue and should result in a recall.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard extending the braking distance. The parking brake was used to slow and stop the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was taken to john kennedy ford of jenkintown (1650 the fairway, jenkintown, pa 19046) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle experienced complete brake failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 153,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Brake lights will not operate when head lights are on. This problem could have been defective when car was purchased. My dad is 86 years old and bought the car new as dealer demo in 02/ 2013. Hes was notified that his brakes were not working and when he returned the vehicle ford would not honor the problem, i have investigated this problem on the internet and there are numerous complaints with this year model.my dad could have been seriously hurt if not notified bye a person following him.this cost him approxomitly 1000.00 dollars to fix i feel ford should recall these do to this problem.
The contact's wife owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would intermittently soften as the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and informed him that they were unaware of the failure and offered no further assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.

The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
2010 mercury milan. Consumer states twice while driving very slowly while touching the brake, his right foot also touched the accelerator, going very slowly with equal pressure on both parts, he had an accident *tgw
While driving down the road loses all power steering there was a recall on the 2011 mercury milanwhich have all the same parts why wouldn't they recall the 2010 milans? this has happened 3 times where the power steering will just go out than when i shut the car off and restart it works again. There is no way i would trust my wife or child driving this car.
While driving on expressway the throttle started dropping down to idle speed and the accelerator stopped working and the power steering was gone only manual steering left.

Steering stop working when im driving thank god i did not have an accident you cant turn the steering unless you apply strong force on it that was the only way to move the vehicle away from the other drivers
Driving at 50 mph dashboard screen displayed power steering assist failure and service advancetrac warnings, and power steering was lost.after car was turned off for approx 4 hours, when started dash displayed service power steering now and service advancetrac warnings, power steering was never restored.
Power steering has sent completely out, causing a minor collision. Also sunroof and front windshield leaks which is causing mold growth
My 2010 mercury milan power steering just stopped.the vehicle was stationary.i have researched this problem with other milan's for the same and there are many complaints for this issue.people have research this and found that there power steering assembly is the sam as the recalls on the 2011 and 2012.i contacted ford and they couldn't give specific information regarding the recall other than the may have been assembled at a different plant.they may have been, but it pretty obvious that it is more likely the power steering part is faulty.it cost at least a couple thousand of dollar to repair which is a terrible hardship because most people have to have a car to go to work so they can live. I feel that this issue should be vigorously. Because for ford just ignore. Is wrong.thank goodness i was not driving my car others were not that lucky

A few weeks ago, i had a hard time steering my car at an intersection. When i tried steering, the car would shake as i turned. Although the roads were wet, my tires are relatively new, so i new it wasn't the traction. I turned off the electronic steering assistance and it started turning again. A few days ago, i was turning, the roads were damp, but not wet and i had my steering assist on (it goes on by default). When i tuned, the car went the opposite way of the direction i was turning. I had to turn off my steering assist in order to regain control of my car. There were no alarms, notice or alerts on my control panel. Also, when it's been a hot day or a cold day, the car won't start.
While at college my son called and said the power steering went out in his car. Took it to a repair shop which referred me to a dealer since they whole steering gear system had to be replaced and the computer would have to be programmed. This is going to be between 1800-2500 repair. I found this site and it seems to be a model wide issue. I am hoping that the recall on the 2011 and 2012 will be expanded to include the 2010.
Steering locks up when inmotion, backing up. Powersteeringassistfault or serviceadvancetrac comes up on the dash.this is a recall on 2011 - 2015 milans, which have the same engine and assembly. There are over 150 listed complaints on the nhtsa site for 2010 models. There needs to be a recall on 2010 models. Is this a safe condition to drive with?who is responsible when the failure endangers drivers and passengers.
While driving the power steering just quit and the "power steering fault" comes on the dash. I have read a number of complaints on these ford electric ps issues and i am really concerned as to why this has not been recalled because it is a safety concern when the ford is operated.
Power steering light came on and immediately power steering stopped. Luckily i was in a parking lot and not on the highway.
I was drivingabout 30 mph on a back streetgoing home and my steering locked on me and i got a message that power steering system assist fault. I could not turn the wheel at all and then a message system advantrac popped up. I had no control of the wheel and istopped real quick and ran into a ditch. Thank god no one was around and did not get hurt.
Power steering went out until i restarted the car then fine until later in the day, same thing no power steering. Everything was fine until a few days ago. Then it started a again, as the days went by it was happening more and more and now it wont reset when starting. No power steering at all!
Started my car up and it said power steering failed..i cut the car off and waited then it went off...as i was headed to work the airbag light came on for the passenger side..i pulled into the store turned the car off a while and started it back up the light went off before leaving work the power steering message popped back up i once again turned off the car for a while...i manage to make it home but a mile from my house the airbag light once again came on.. Please check into this..i love my life and the life of my loved ones driving like this is very dangerous and this is my only means of transportation.
I started my car to go to work and the power steering assist light came on and my steering wheel is locked.
While driving to work this morning on the highway. The power steering assist and theadvanced traction control functions both alarmed and stopped working. I was able to get to work, but now i cannot steer at all. Both warning lights are illuminated and both functions continue to not work.
Power steering assist fault on dash with power steering not working.unit was already replaced 7 months ago and has failed again.this is a real safety issue and ford must issue a recall!service advancetrac error also displayed.only 46,000 miles on vehicle and the power steering has failed twice!

Beginning in july 2016, i began to experience a "power steering system failure" message upon starting my 2010 mercury milan.given that it was an infrequent occurrence, i followed the manual's instruction to turn off the car, wait for 10 to 15 seconds and then restart it.this action would clear the error code, and i would be able to steer the vehicle.however, within the last few weeks, the error message has occurred much more frequently.as such, i took the vehicle to the local ford dealership, and was told the power steering control module needed to be replaced due to an actuator being stuck open.please consider adding the 2010 mercury milan to the already mandated recall.
It started in recent weeks when we start the car we get an error message "electric power steering malfunction" and there is no power assist.shutting off the car and restarting clears the error message.twice now while driving right after start up the steer malfunction error came up and with it we had a loss of power streering.both times we were able to move to the curb, put in park shut off and restart and no problems.we will be getting this to the dealer but don't anticipate a fix.they only repair when they can duplicate a problem and this problem is intermittent.
I was driving down i94 in washtenaw county and i received a notification to the extent "service power steering systems"within the next 5 minutes i completely loss power steering.once in a safe location, i turned off the car and restarted; the problem remained.repeated twice to no avail.representatives at ford client relations states "no outstanding recalls for this issue"dealer states "not a lot of known problems that they have seen".i reiterated to both that my research shows the opposite that there have been numerous incidents of the same report.
My 2010 mercury milan began to pull to the right after rotating the tires.the "service power steering now" indicator came on and there was no power steering. This is absolutely a safety issue. I tore my rotator cuff trying to steer the car.ford is not recalling the 2010 model even though the electric power steering components are identical to the 2011 which is recalled. A very expensive repair, and don't understand why 2011 mercury milan owners are more valuable than 2010 owners.
While driving down the street the power steering on my 2010 mercury milan went out. It started with a warning on the display "service power steering now" followed by "service advance trac" along with the warning bells. The steering wheel was very difficult to turn. Turned the car off and waited a few minutes. Turned the car back on and immediately received the "service power steering now" followed by "service advance trac" along with the warning bells. I have researched and found that the cost of repair is about 2k. I am very upset that there was is a recall for the same item but only for the 2011 milan that used identical parts.
Driving home from church, the "service power steering now" indicator came on and the steering immediately became nearly inoperable.i'm thankful that there weren't many people on the road at the time.it was brought to the only service place on island that can diagnose this problem, but they have a 2-3 month waiting list to look at the vehicle. They stated that if there was a recall in place for the 2010 mercury milan, they could diagnose and fix the vehicle.why isn't the 2010 mercury milan included in this recall - there are hundreds of incidents of similar situations.
The power steering went off with no warning what so ever
Power steering hydraulic locked on me twice while driving first time i was on express way and hit wall 2nd time i knew what was about to happen and of course steering locked and i almost crashed again this needs to be addressed because my research shows me folks have died from this but because it's not enough deaths it won't be recalled this is crazy why recall 2011 that has same part and not 2010
I was at a store for a while i came outside i crank my car put the car in reverse simultaneously the traction control light the abs system light came on along with the power steering going out i did see. This is all the symptoms of a recall but it is not associated with my vin number now the dealership that has my vehicle has service three other recalls where is servicing three other recalls that has told me that now i will have to pay $3,500 for a rack and pinion replacement and whatever this recall causes for my brakes
Complete power steering failure!!my wife parked the car in the driveway on 12/6 as normal. The next morning she attempted to leave and the car had no steering.car started and runs normal but no power steering at all. The car cannot be driven. I investigated posibilities that evening and checked all relevant fuses to no avail. I began researching potential problems via internet and was amazed to learn ford knows about this serious issue. In fact, they have recalled multiple models and years but excluded the 2010 milan even though it has the same steering system!!!i contacted the dealer where purchased and they offered no help except to tow it in and they will dignose. There is a plethara of complaints and investigations regarding this problem. All the information i've found is very clear..this is serious problem and significant expense ! this must be addressed by ford and corrected.theyknow the problem existswith this steering sytesm but are denying their responsibiliteis to customers for fair resolution!
Power steering recall: ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 ford escape and mercury mariner vehicles manufactured august 18, 2006, through september 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input.i called ford motor company regarding my vehicle 2010 mercury milan premier because i had to have my power steering replaced on my vehicle. The dealership stated that i would have to call ford and inform them that my car should be listed in the recall. When i called i was transferred to customer relations.the woman was very rude and kept repeating the same thing over and over. I explained to her i understand the protocol i just want to make sure that information regarding the call will be submitted about my vehicle power steering was serviced on my milan and if there was anything further that i could do regarding my vehicle possibly being in the recall. Her tone of voice was very rude and she didn't seem to care about my concern. I am considering purchasing a honda vehicle. When my power steering went out it was four occurrences 3 times on the freeway and once leaving from work. Not only was mylife and danger but the other drivers and my family members who were in the vehicle with me. So to speak with someone who does not care about my concern is very upsetting and i do not want to drive anymore ford/mercury vehicles.
I put car in reverse to pull out of driveway and the "power steering assist fault warning" came on dashboard and immediately the steering wheel would not move.
Driving down the road power steering was lost and control of the vehicle was lost causing to hit a curb damaging rack and pinion tie rod ends, wheels and tires and alignment.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
The power steering not working at all, read online on report on similar case. Ford has recall for this issue,but only for cars from 2011 and beyond.
While i was backing outof my driveway on saturday my power steering went out. There was a message saying power steering assist fault. This has happened 2 times before and when i shut the car off and turn back on the message goes away and i have power steering back. This saturday was not the case, the warning didn't go away and the car was not drivable. I had the car towed to local ford dealership and they told me it was the steering gear and it would cost around $1800. I've research the recalls and found a lot of complaints about this same issue. In fact the 2011 milan has a recall for the same issue!
Pulling out of driveway to enter street steering locked couldnt turn car light came on and it read power steering assit.default.
While driving, it became extremely hard to turn the steering (lost all power steeringcapability). Could not make turns and almost forced into on coming traffic.
Electronic power steering suddenly stopped working while driving. I was able to manually steer to get the vehicle home. After researching online, this is a known and common issue. Ford motor co. Addressed the issue in 2011 models, but not in 2010 models. I have found hundreds of complaints across various car forums for this issue.
The electric power assist steering would fail intermittently and a message would display to that effect most of the time. Sometimes restarting the car would make it work and other times it would just start working.this only happen when the car was not rolling but we could not trust it and had it replaced, at a cost of $1789.00.
While driving i lost all steering control,this problem has happened in the past.took car to ford they reset the computer & i was ok, until march 29 2015 i was driving and lost all sterring control, took the car bac to ford & was told they dont know anything & i would ghave to replace steeeing gears. This is very dangerous &i had no problems with the car until i had the power train recallfixed. Please fix this problems before someone is seriously injured
Went to take my car out of the parking space. Went to turn and the power steering failed! could not turn wheel left or right! at the same time this happened a warning sign popped on my dashboard saying something about power steering failure. Not impressed at all. 2010, 11 and 12 models are all having this same problem! only one they recognize at the moment having a problem is the 2011 because apparently more people need to get into a car accident or killed with the 2010 and 12 models before they recall them! i am 7 months pregnant and feel fortunate i was not on the interstate when this happened and in a parking lot! i hope the "investigation" their working on goes by quickly before anyone gets seriously hurt!

Started car, message came up on the panel, "power steering assist fault" now i cannot get it to shift or the stirring wheel to turn. This started on 8/20/2017. I was parked on the street in front of my home.
I have had the milan 2010 into ford 6 times because the engine lost all power without warning:no lights;brakes;steering.i have witnesses.it has happened in all types of conditions:stop and go traffic; merging onto a freeway.the last time black smoke came from under the hood.the car was in the shop for 6 weeks.a week after it was so called "repaired" the problem occurred again.i started a "lemon law" complaint in march 2012.my mother became fatally ill and died and i could not complete the claim.june 15, 2012 i was pulling into a parking space and the electrical system failed.i could not stop.i crashed into a cement wall.the car was a total loss.i got whiplash.my insurance company will not pay the balance remaining on the car.bbb stopped "lemon law" case because there was an accident.no attorney will take the case because there is not enough money to be gained.i am without a car; in debt; injured; driving a rental car and working 12 hours a day to buy a new car.please help me.
3 times when i have started my car the "power steering fault assist" is displayed and i have no power steering.after restarting it was fine but now it has completely gone out.the vehicle isn't old enough for it to fail.if it happened while i was driving i could have wrecked.it is unsafe.
While i was driving my child to school out of no where right before i turned the corner to get onto the freeway service drive a bell went off in the car and on the screen it said power steering assist failure and at that point i could no longer steer my vehicle. I had no control over it. I literally had to back up and it took me 15 to 20 minutes to get back into my driveway because i couldn't turn the wheel it was extremely hard to do.
"service power steering" appeared on dashboard while driving. I had noticed the car seemed to be pulling to the right but power steering was working. I then parked for awhile and when i restarted the car the warning stated "service power steering now" with also a warning stating "service advancedtrac". Now when i tried to drive, the power steering was completely out. I was able to drive it home but it is not a condition to drive with on a regular basis. I looked on the internet and saw this model milan 2010 was subject to recall for power steering failure:ford recalls nearly 423,000 vehicles for power steering problem.associated press"in october, the national highway traffic safety administration began investigating complaints of power-steering failures on three ford motor co. Midsize car models. The probe covered 938,000 ford fusion and lincoln mkz cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 mercury milan.according to a class-action lawsuit filed in june about the matter, the problem could affect more ford models, including the compact focus."http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ford-recall-20150527-story.html but when i called ford and gave my vin they said my model wasn't covered. Butagain after a web search i saw numerous consumer complaints about this potentially dangerous problem on this 2010 milan model:http://www.carcomplaints.com/mercury/milan/2010/steering/steering.shtmlhttp://www.arfc.org/complaints/2010/mercury/milan/steering/problem.aspx so if the very same problem occurred on my model that occurred on other models that were covered, i think this model year of the milan should also be covered. I think it is notable in the la times article it said other models may be effected. So even though the 2010 milan wasn't covered previously, common sense will prevail and it will be covered.
I was driving to work and a light came on which i have not seen beforeas well as two console messages that read "service power steering now" and "service advancetrac." my steering became noticeably heavier as i drove and then completely lost power steering asi pulled into a parking lot. I had to stop in the middle of the parking lot and slowly with great effort i was able to angle the car into a parking spot. There were no noises. I towed the vehicle to a near by auto shop and they diagnosed a faulty electric power steering and quoted me $1750 for repair.
While traveling at approximately 30 mph, we heard an alert chime and saw the message "service power steering" and "service advancetrack" on the dashboard.we drove approximately one more mile and then the power steering quit working, causing it to very difficult to steer the vehicle.
When driving down the road, the steering suddenly locked up and i could no longer steer. Messages saying service advancetrac and power steering failure were displayed. I checked the fluids and everything was ok. After researching this problem online, i saw that the 2011 milan was already under recall along with many other ford models. The 2010 milan needs to be added to the recall as the issue also occurs with this model. This is definitely going to be a safety issue as i do not have $2000 to get this fixed and i have no other option but to drive without power steering until the recall goes through.
On july 1st i was making driving on the frontage road in my 2010 mercury milan and all of a sudden my passenger tire blew out so i pulled over to check what happened and when i came back to the car "service power steering" and "service advance trac" were lit up on my dash board. We changed the tire to the spare but when we were ready to drive the steering wheel was very difficult to move side to side. Luckily a family member lived near by so we were able to take the car there but the steering wheel was still hard. The next day we went to go get a new tire to replace the spare thinking maybe it was the spare that caused the service messages to appear on the dashboard but even with the tire change the steering wheel is still not able to allow any sort of turning motion unless there is an extremely strong effort to turn it. I'm aware that this exact incident also happened to another customer. I'm also aware how there's a recall on the 2011 but not on the 2010. A recall needs to be given for this year also because i've seen many complaints about the electrical power steering and advance trac. It's not right for us to have to cough up 1000 to fix something that is a defect in the car. I still owe on this car and don't plan to just have it sitting there with no use to it and throwing money down the drain. Please investigate these incidents of power steering and advance trac on the 2010 mercury milan so we too can get the recall that we need!
I was pulling out of a parking space a gas station and the "service power steering now" and "service advancetrac" service lights came on. The steering wheel became very tight and undriveable. After two calls with ford and research online i found that the 2011 milan has a recall but not my 2010 milan. The car is unsafe to drive.
Electronic power steering failed. Vehicle became difficult to steer for my daughter driving the car. She was driving on local streets. The effort for steering was increased greatly and could have led to an accident. She managed to pull over safely. There is a current recall on the 2011 mercury milan#15v340000 that is for the same issue. Steering gear was replaced to resolve issue.
Riding down the road and the wheel instantly locked up on me stating in the message center of the car "power steering assist fault" service power steering" service power steering now" and service advancetrac" caused a accident and now my car cause so much money to fix. I lost control because the wheel stop turning.

"power steering assist fault" comes on while backing 2010 mercury milan out of the garage locking my steering and causing the car to hit garage (minor accident, thankful).upon research i have noticed there has a been a recall for the 2011-2015 mercury milan models but not the 2010. There are numerous complaints of same issue as my vehicle experiencing this problem with the mileage ranging from low to high. This is a very unsafe situation to experience with your family. 2010 milan needs to be added to the 2011-2012 recalls. Dangerous to loose control of your steering while driving, this could be fatal on expressway situations.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving various speeds, the power steering malfunctioned without warning.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000....updated 10/19/17 updated 10/24/2017
My car was parked. When i started my car, the power steering didn't work. I got a message on the dash to the effect: "power steering default." i turned off the ignition switch and started the car again. Same problem. I turned off the ignition switch again and waited two or three minutes. When i started the car again, everything seemed to work ok. My wife says it has happened to her before.
Driving around 35 mph on a curvy city street and a error message to service power steering soon alerted me. Before i could geta quarter of a mile down the road the service power steering now message appeared, within minutes after that my power steering completely locked up while i was driving. Had to get my car towed and the independent mechanic shop quoted me upwards up $1250 for the repair. My car has roughly 84,000 miles on it. If they are recalling the 2011 model for this repair then obviously the 2010 should be recalled as well if it has the same malfunctions, parts and assemblies. This is my only source of transportation and i can't afford such a costly repair.
My wife was driving the car in the parking of a busy shopping center when unexpectedly she was unable to steer the car as the steering wheel locked up on her. She almost crashed but luckily was able to avoid the car as she was attempting to make a turn. Received two errors (1) service power steering now and (2) service advancedtrac. From what i'm researching it seems that there is a recall for the 2011 model but the 2010 even though these are the same components...? car has 76k miles.

Powersteering becomes locked when parked. While the car is running, i have to manually turn the wheel all the way to the l, then all the way to the r, straighten the wheels, shutdown the engine, and then restart the car.there does not appear to be a cause for this to he happening.my fear is that my powersteering will fail, while driving down the road.2011 was recalled, please consider recalling 2010.i have been quoted $2300 to have this repaired.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while at a stop and attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact had to apply excessive force to the steering wheel in order to steer the vehicle. The "power steering assist fault" was displayed across the message board.

I was taking on off-ramp from the freeway and mid-turn my power steering stopped working and it felt like the wheel locked up. Luckily i was able to brake and stop before going off of the roadway. Dash indicator messages displayed "power steering assist fault" and "service advancetrac". The car is absolutely unsafe to drive in this condition and could have easily caused a crash as it happened mid-turn when exiting the freeway. In doing some research, i understand the 2011 mercury milan and ford fusions have both been recalled for this electronic power steering module failure. My 2010 milan uses the exact same assembly and the repair cost is significant as i've received quotes ranging from $1600-2100. My 2010 milan has less than 63,000 miles and it is unacceptable to expect the owner to pay these repair costs on a vehicle with such low mileage. Please review the problem and extend the recall to include 2010 models which at this point would allow me to be reimbursed for the costs of the repair. I have no choice but to repair the vehicle and this creates a significant hardship on my family as well as any other people who experience the issue. Especially considering it is a known defect on the 2011 and 2012 model years. In talking with ford corporate and my local dealership i understand that the nhtsa must issue the recall, not ford themselves. I am sickened by this problem and can only hope the nhtsa will do the right thing and extend the recall to cover my vehicle.

Started the car then the steering assist failure indicator came on.fortunately the vehicle was stationary when this occurred.many vehicles have reported this issue occurring while moving, loosing control.ford has issued recalls on 2011 but not 2010.shame on ford and shame on the nhtsa for not requiring ford to recall all vehicles reporting this failure. Towing and repair are now out of pocket probably equalling the value of the vehicle.
While in motion the steering of my vehicle became very hard on a city street as i was coming home from work .it was very difficult to turn even on the busy thoroughfares.
The power steering light and the power train light came on.ipulled the car over to the side of the highway, stopped the car, turned the car off and back on and the steering was gone.this is the 3rd time this has happened over the life of the vehicle.previous times i have taken it to the dealership as the 2011 model has been recalled for the same issue.they have quoted me upwards of $2000 to repair.when i declined, the computer was reset and it worked again.this is the first time that the traction control service came on.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 25 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to operate. The contact stated that the power steering and traction control indicators illuminated. The local dealer (jorgenson ford, 8333 michigan avenue, detroit, mi 48210) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.
The power steering goes out and a message appears on the dashboard that tells you that the power steering assist is off making the wheel is very hard to turn and driving safely impossible.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the power steering failed and an unknown warning light illuminated. The failure occurred on two occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and repaired but the failure recurred. The repair details were unknown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 163,000. The consumer stated, on july 13, 2015,that the vehicle was inoperable. Updated 9/21/2015
As i was making a right turn at a rural intersection i lost power steering.i was going possibly 25 mph.i went into the left lane but there was no vehicle there.if there had been i would have hit it.a warning came on "service advance trac & service power steering now" this also happened about 2 years ago when i was stopped.at that time a ford tech reprogrammed a module & it has been ok til now.
Power steering assist failure. In motion backing up no power steering. Electronic rack and pinion steering device. This same part was recalled on 2011 mercury milan.recall should include 2010.
Takata recall i was coming from work my steering wheel locked up on me on 249 and fallbrook in houston texas in motion
While pulling into a parking lot from a city street in the middle of the turn the power steering on my 2010 mercury milan went out.it started with a warning on the display "service power steering now" followed by "service advance trac" along with the warning bells.the steering wheel was very difficult to turn but made it safely into a parking spot.turned the car off and waited a few minutes.turned the car back on and immediately received the "service power steering now" followed by "service advance trac" along with the warning bells.took the car to the dealer and the power steering gearhad to be replaced as it had failed.spoke to the dealer as there was is a recall for the same item but only for certain 2011 milan.the cost was over $1700 to replace.
The "power steering assist failure" alert came on, i immediately lost the ability to steer the vehicle. I was in heavy traffic at the time. I had to turn the ignition off and restart the car to gain steering control again. This happened a couple of time. I spent approximately $1,500 on repairs. The vehicle again is having the same same alert and same loss of steering control. There was not a recall on the 2010 milan but there was on 2011 and other models. This is a very dangerous condition.
Was driving my 2010 mercury milan when my dashboard showed a service alert "power steering assist fault" and "service advance trac". I parked and turned the car off and then on. After i turned the car back on all power steering was lost. There are recalls for just about every other milan for power steering but not the 2010. I cannot afford $2000 worth of work on a car that's valued at $4000. When i have to buy a new car over this, i will not be looking at ford brands.
I was in a parking lot and when i turned on ignition and power assist fault light lit up on panel and when tried to back up had no power steering. Turned car off and back on numerous times but same lights and loud warning sound. Tried to drive out of parking lot but service advance trac light came on and couldn't turn steering wheel to drive car. Had to leave my car at restaurant and call for a ride back to work. There is a recall for 2011 mercury milan but not 2010. This makes no sense. Someone is going to get injured or even die if not recalled for repairs. I just got this car paid for and now having problems.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While reversing out of the driveway, the power steering seized and the steering wheel could not be turned. The manufacturer was contacted. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 145,000.
While driving, power steering went out.after researching to see if it would be under a recall, it was discovered, many, many ford cars with the same steering wheel/power steering step-up has been recalled.because our car is a hybrid, apparently they, ford, haven't gotten around to recalling them.ford needs to step and recall hybrids too.
Power steering went out completely while driving on a city street. Fine during drive on highway and went out on city street while going into a turn going left.
While driving the vehicle the advantagetrac and service power steering warning messages appeared in the information center.i drove to my destination and turned the vehicle off.a half hour later i restarted the vehicle to see if the error codes were reset.at this time the "service power steering now" warning came on and there was no assisted power steering making the steering wheel extremely hard to turn.i had the vehicle dropped at the dealers where i was told there was a recall on the 2011 mercury milan for the same issue.i was further informed by the dealer that the 2010 mercury milan was not included even though both model years had the same power steering components and systems.the loss of power steering on a vehicle while driving is a serious and dangerous issue.ford's recall needs to be extended to cover the 2010 mercury milan model year also.
Power steering completely stopped working while mid turn almost caused an accident. Another car veered off the road to avoid. I have done research and this seems to be a trend with the 2010 milan. For some reason the 2011 is recalled but not 2010. We have had multiple ford vehicles over the years and i am grossly dissatisfied that this issue has been reported with no recall action this is dangerous
Power steering completely gone 5 min after warning light and chime sounded,and display on dash said power steering failure and service advancetrac now. Seems very dangerous to be driving and only have 5 minutes before you lose your steering. Warning light was a car with curvy tire tracks. This needs a recall due to its dangerous implications.
I was backing out of a parking spot and when i put it in drive, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the dashboard stated " service advance trac".after pulling over and checking everything out. I was able to drive it without power steering to a family members house.after leaving the car there for a few days, i started it up and everything seemed fine. I am concerned driving this car given that it seems to be a common problem.
Power steering assist fault indicator, 126,000 miles, $2200 repair estimate to replace the steering gear & rack assembly.dealership said its a common problem for this model but the recalls only covered '11-'15.called ford customer service and told its not under warranty or recall so they wouldn't offer any reimbursement.
Power steering assist has problems. Power steering locks up and car then can't be steered. Happens sometime in the middle of driving it.ford refuses to fix it. Even though they know it has been a problem.they even have class action lawsuites against them for it.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 5 mph, the steering failed and was difficult to maneuver. The service power steering now and service the advance trac indicators illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 222,000.
For years i have sporadically gotten a "power steering sensor fault" displayed when i would start the car.you could barely turn the steering wheel.in searching the owner's manual, owners are advised to turn off the ignition, wait briefly then restart the car (how this issue got into the owner's manual and could not be addressed and eliminated, i don't understand).this would correct the fault and the power steering would function normally.fortunately it never happened while driving.in the last week this display was occurring more frequently until on 5/16/21 it would not go away and i could not drive the car.today, 5/20/21 i got it towed to the local ford dealer.the situation will probably not be diagnosed until next week.from reading everything on the internet, this is a routine safety concern, and a recall for the control module has been issued on the 2011-2015 milan models.unfortunately my car is 2010 and is not included in the recall.aren't we talking about an identical control module as to those that have been recalled??then why wouldn't the nhtsa not be concerned about this very similar safety issue??!!i'm thankful this didn't happed to me while driving!
Power steering failure:my power steering failed while driving and the engine light came on. Driving the car was difficult while i was on the highway with my daughter in the car.i contacted ford customer service and they are aware of all the complaints, but refuse to offer any good will program or rectify the situation. .i have 115,000 miles and i was told that the warranty was only 5 yrs. /60,000. I have read several complains on the 2010 mercury milan premier series
Steering does not turn. It came without warning. I turned on the car to go to work to find out it doesn't work. Can't turn left and can't turn right . It is very very hard to turn the steering wheel. It's been like this for almost a month. This is the only car i have and i'm afraid i might crash going to work all because of the steering wheel not working. I wonder if anybody has been killed (hope to god not) by this malfunction it needs to fixed asap
Rack and pinion malfunction - the power steering went out on my vehicle as my daughter was driving on a city street and approached a right turn.an inspection by my local ford dealership proved that the rack and pinion had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.there is a recall on the 2011 year, and with all the complaints that are on file for the 2010, i do not understand why the recall does not effect this year as well.
Power steering assist / service advance track came on with no power to steer while driving.
Approximately 3 months ago i got into my car to go to work.i drove the vehicle on the city side streets to get to the highway that i travel to work. The trouble light indicator came on indicating poor steering and the vehicle did seem to be steering incorrectly. I returned home and drove my wife's vehicle to work. Next day i went out to check to see if there was a problem.i started up my vehicle and tried to drive the vehicle out of my parking place.the power steering won't work at all. Now i do not have a vehicle to get to work.there has been a recall on the 2011, 2012 mercury milan for this same problem. Why hasn't there been one for the 2010????
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the steering became difficult to turn with the advance trac and power train warning lights illuminated.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed and repaired.
"takata recall" on my way home from work white smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe then the check engine started flashing really fast then stopped. I made it as it as far as my street then the check power steering/ advanced tran warning flashed and as i turned in the driveway the power steering completely gave out and flashed service power steering now. I just purchased this car and i am making payments now i have to fix my power steering. Wow
Power steering failure,difficult to handle,light on.
My cars power steering sometimes won't work when i start the car. It will work after i turn car off and restart it. I saw on the internet that this a common problem. I called ford and he says the recall does include my car. I don't understand why my car is not included in the recall.lately it is happening more often.
I drive a 2010 mercury milan. I've had no problems whatsoever within the last three years driving this vehicle. Yesterday (01/21/21) & without warning the service power steering message popped up on my dash board just as i made it to the store. I turned my car off and back on and had no power steering. I could not turn the wheel at all!! my car isn't drivable right now. I hope there's a recall on this vehicle. I just paid the vehicle loan off days ago.
My 2010 millan with only 45,000 miles on it, wife was driving when power steering shut down causing her to drive off the road before she could stop it. Went to google to see if anyone else had issues, saw recall: 15s18 was issued but for only 2011 millans plus. All error codes were same aslisted on recall,dealer is charging me 1400 dollars and then told me if car had been 1 year newer, would have been covered 100%. Just wondering if you could help and see if issue also effected same car being just 1 year older, thanks for any help
As i was driving my car, the vehicle steering became hard to steer and within minutes, the steering became non-existent. I had to put on hazards in order to avoid an a car from hitting me and to try to get to a safe place with pretty much no steering power.
Well for starters its throwing a code saying that i have a small fuel leak some where and the 2 is one day i had a flat and after i changed the tire the power steering went out and not only that but the car has a heavy vibration in it and while driving it want to take off either left or right which ended up with me running off the road twice already
Takata recallplus others for mercury milan 2010 manufactured in 02 and 03/2010. Vehicle was in motion all the time the errors occurred.
My wife was driving the car and pulling into a parking lot when the service advantrac message popped up on the dash and she lost all steering control. Fortunately she was able to get the car stopped before hitting anything.i have noticed the last couple of days when cold starting the car and taking off in it the steering has been fighting back when trying to make a sharp turn. I thought it just had something to do with the cold temperatures and the power steering fluid. The car has around 149,000 miles on it.i was not in the car when all this happened so i can't give any more details than this at this moment.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. When the ignition was started, the power steering failure indicator illuminated. The dealer was unable to locate a failure. Shortly after, the failure recurred several times and the power steering seized completely. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the electronic power steering module failed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and no repairs were made. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Lose of power steering completely while driving on highway. Service advancetrac light comes on as it happens. I luckily avoided the car in front of me.
While driving the power steering has went out several times.at the time the dashboard indicator would say "power steering assist fault" and shortly after that say "service advancetrac".upon research i have noticed there has a been a recall for the 2011-2015 mercury milan models but not the 2010.i have found a ton of others with my vehicle experiencing this problem with the mileage ranging from low to high.this is a very unsafe situation to experience with your family in the vehicle and have this happen.this needs to be added to the other model milians recalls.
After having my oil changed and tires rotated, my 2010 mercury milan began to pull to the right. After a few days, the (service power steering now) indicator came on, and after turning the car off and back on, there was no power steering.this is absolutely a safety issue. Ford is not recalling the 2010 model even though the electric power steering components are identical.a very expensive repair, and don't understand why 2011 mercury milan owners are more valuable than 2010 owners. Feels like discrimination.on a fixed income, don't know how i am going to pay for repairs. Please ford, 2010 mercury milan owners need you.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 40 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering assist and service advancetrac warning indicators illuminated.

Power steering assist fault keeps popping up and it's super hard to turn and it's unsafe for my family
Power steering failure: my power steering failed while driving and the advancetrac light came on. My wife was making a turn on city street when the failure happened.we have 87000 miles
While attempting to make a turn in an intersection the power steering suddenly failed on the car.vehicle was traveling at approximately 15mph at the time of the incident.afterwards the "power steering failure" and "service advancetrac" lights were displayed.incident nearly resulted in an accident.this is a serious safety issue.upon investigation i have found that the same issue occurred on the 2011-2012 mercury milan with the same part as the problem (steering motor sensor) that resulted in a recall for those model/years.as it is the same part it should fall under this same recall, however it doesn't.this part is contained within the rack and pinion system requiring replacement of the entire system at a cost of $1800-$2000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the service power steering and the service advancetrac warning lights became illuminated. Then the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.
Heading to work. Advance track may. Pops on. Then service power stearing. Steering wheel felt a little tight. But it was still drivable. Made it to work, once shift was over. I went to back out and the wheel wouldn't turn at all. Come to.find out this has been a big problem. On the 2010's. All.seem.to.be happong with an the last 12-18 months. Along with the previous (furl rank recall, and the current air bag recall.) this things should be taken off the road! that's too many major issues. Come on ford! i guess it will take a big accident for anything to really happen.....
"power steering assist fault" would display on my lcd screen on my car.i would normally turn it off my vehicle and turn it back on and it will work fine.now, the warning come out everytime i start my car leaving my unable to use it.i have read hundreds of complaints on different websites. I don't know what else we need to do to have ford issue a recall for this.
Multiple power assist steering failures encountered. Steering becomes extremely stiff and difficult to turn vehicle. Most occurred when starting vehicle
While driving, as i turned the steering wheel the turn was slow to respond and turning back to straight driving position, steering wheel was extremely hard to turn which almost caused me to hit a parked car. After parking (which took extreme effort and arm/shoulder pain) and starting again, automatic steering ability had failed and indicator light read "service power steering now".the car can not be driven because it is too hard to turn steering wheel and for fear that the lack of power steering will cause an accident.i also noticed that there has been numerous similar complaints posted on the internet with the same problem and concerns. Please add my vehicle in the recall list so that not only i and my family will be safe but also anyone else that may be on the road who can be involved in an accident caused by the inability to maneuver safely due to no power steering capability.according to ford's motto "built for the road ahead", i can't get to the "road ahead" safely without power steering.
Picked my car up at my wife's job who was using it. In the parking lot, started the car and when i went to turn, the steering locked up and received a "power assist fault" notification on the dash.
No power steering,called dealer and they what $80 to tell me i have no power steering and might cost$1800 to repair.so many reports of this why haven't they recalled these.
January 15 2016 i was driving my 2010 milian, went to make a left turn and my steering went out, then my dashboard lit up saying service power steering and advance trac system needs attention,then my passenger front tire blew. Ive seen where the 2011 milian has had a recall on this same issue that my 2010 milian is now having, i havent been able to drive my car since january and i still have 3 years of payments on a car i can't drive. So please send out a recall notice for the 2010 milian so i can start driving my car again.

I was traveling at night, at a speed of 30 mph. I heard a bell and looked at my dash and saw a message that said powertrac service now. I pulled over to a parking lot, restarted my car, and at this point.... There was no power steering. Thank god my husband was with me. I couldn't even turn the wheel myself. I was lucky that our children were not in the car. There is to many of these same issues listed within the last month. Oh and by the way, i had my car serviced (at the dealership) yesterday and was told my car was great! wondering what in the world is going on .
Driving up icy curve up hill, service power steering now came on.vehicle lost all steering locked and ran off road.now it's in a super human steering mode in my driveway where its been since the incident.was being driven by my daughter with my other 4 elementary students on icy roads in alaska.ford is willing to kill families i see.72,000 miles.called dealer and said send me all information from my scan.never heard back from kendall ford in anchorage.
On 2/1/17, steering went out. Almost hit co-worker's parked car. No warning message or signal of any kind. Didn't understand what happened. Turned car off and then back on. Operated without incident. On 2/3/17, steering went out again. This time, "service power steering" message displayed followed by "service advance trak system".turned car off and back on.operated well enough to drive to local ford dealership, where i was told that i would need a new rack and pinion ($2,800). Looked online to discover that this is a known safety issue by ford as they recalled the 2011 and 2012 milans for the same problem.my 2010 has the same components! there was a class action lawsuit filed against ford in 2015 for this very same complaint.both nhtsa and ford need to step up and recognize the 2010 has the same safety hazard and its owners should receive the benefit of the same recall (#15v340000) that was issued for the 2011 and 2012 models.the consumer requested to be reimbursed for the repairs.

As i was driving down the street, i heard a chime noise i looked down at my dash and my car said service advancetrac and service power steering. I noticed my power steering was starting to slowly go out. As i reached my destination, and then started my car to leave, my car now said service power steering now, and serviceadvancetrac. At this point my car had no power steering at all, leaving me stranded hours from home.
Complete loss of power steering the recall has been done for 2011-2012 fusions and 2011 milans . My 2010 milan has the same exact parts and i can find all the same complaints of the steering going out on the 2010 year vehicals. I can't believe the nhtsa let ford get away with when there is definitely a safety problem with the steering.i have had the problem both when just starting and while driving. These cars are not safe. It has happened many times to lots of people
While making a right turn (low speed) power steering cut out. Power steering fault warning came on immediately. I have noted many similar complaints for these cars.
Power steering!!!! on 03/07/17 my steering went out. Car veered off into oncoming highway traffic and nearly missed a head on collision!! no warning message or signal of any kind. Didn't understand what was happening. Drove home and disconnected battery for an hour and steering worked again. Left out of my drive and as i started to turn unto road the steering went out again. This time, i hit my property fence and now have a front bumper that is smashed!!! "service power steering" message displayed followed by "service advance trak system". Looked online to discover that this is a known safety issue by ford as they recalled the 2011 and 2012 milans for the same problem. My 2010 has the same components! there was a class action lawsuit filed against ford in 2015 for this very same complaint. Both nhtsa and ford need to step up and recognize the 2010 has the same safety hazard and its owners should receive the benefit of the same recall (#15v340000) that was issued for the 2011 and 2012 models. Please please lets all start a second class action lawsuit for us 2010 mercury milan owners that are being screwed by big corporate heads and trust that they will be paying to fix my steering and my front bumper and they should be glad it's not my life they could be paying for from the first time i nearly escaped a headon collision.
Multiple times now the steering column locks up and power steering.fails while driving. The latest time was in a parking lot. This is a very dangerous situation. The last time was 1/30/2021.
While driving the car the power steering suddenly stops and the car becomes extremely difficult to drive.this is a very dangerous situation and has happened three times in the past 2 months.it has also occurred several times previously, but it seems to be getting worse.very dangerous!
Traveling to army national guard drill during the early morning hours is when this occured.i was going speed limit while turning right onto an onramp which leads to the highway.there was a weird vibration in the sterring wheel and it failed and could not be turned back from the right position.i am strong and i could not move it.this malfunction cause my car to smash into a tree.i was knocked out, head injruy, and very bad back/shoulder injury.i was taken by 911 to the hospital and i have been treated for multiple things.ford is yet to repond to anything or to offer some sort of settlement for this which is absolutly their fault.i have got a lawyer to keep sending demands to ford.now, i saw on the news that this is actually a problem they are now finding out about and claiming no one has been seriously hurt from it...well this is not true as i did.i am also seeking a negligence claim because a week prior, they replaced a faulty transmission in my car which also could have lead to this.hopefully your agency does some serious investigation.
I was driving my 2010 mercury milan.i had a flat tire.now the "service the advance track" and the "service the power steering" warning message will not turn off and the car no longer has power steering.this is a recall issue on the 2011 milan.the 2010 has the identical part.why is the defect a recall on the 2011 milan and not on the 2010?it is the same defective part.
There was no prior warning or problem with the car at all. I just started the car for work and immediately there was no power steering. A warning message appeared "power steering assist" and advanctrac. I turned the car off and restarted after a minute with no change. I repeated this several more times lengthening the time interval with no change. I tried the next morning and the problem still persisted. I had the vehicle towed into the dealership and after their evaluation they stated the problem was the power steering gear and would need a total replacement at a cost of $2200.00. In 40 years of driving i have never had a power steering issue, period. There is a recall for this very problem on similar vehicles but not mine. I am writing to report that the current ford recall does not encompass all affected vehicles.
Power steering went out while driving on a very busy road with warning to service power steering now, service advancetrac. My boyfriend had to drive us home since the steering was too hard for me to drive.
Power steering assist failure light came across dic while driving on interstate. Tried to slow down and pull over but couldn't turn steering wheel. Shut car off and restarted at car and warning light wasn't there and steering worked.
My 20 year old son was driving our 2010 on the street when all of a sudden the car lost its power steering. He had a very difficult time steering the car and was very close to crashing the vehicle. He was in a high traffic area at the time of thei issue. He could have injured himself or died because of this problem,he was able to, with great difficulty, get the car off of the road. He was very lucky!! this is a serious safety issue. The vehicle had 2 lights that displayed: 1. Service power steering now and 2. Service advancetrac. It is still displaying on the dash and there is no power steering, therefore the vehicle can not be driven.. It is my understanding that this is a very expensive repair!! this car is only 8 years old and is in excellent condition. I have been told that the 2011 milan had the same problem and that there was a recall for the issue. I have also been told that the 2010 has the exact same system (electric power steering) as the 2011,but it was not recalled. How can that be?? is it less of a safety issue based only on the year? so it's ok for 2010 drivers to be injured but not the 2011 owners. I am a single mother and do not know how to deal with problem. Please look into it asap.
For the last year, the power steering assist on my 2010 mercury milan will randomly turn off while driving the car and prior to starting the car.i can turn the car off, wait and the power steering assist will re-activate.
I was driving down a main road at 25mph and the power steering went out.the light indicator came on and the dash read automatic power steering failurei could have been on a major highway going 65 and crashed and or killed.i am reporting this as it should be recalled!!!! i only had this car 11 months!i can fix it but am now too afraid that something else will happen.i need to know how to file a lawsuit as this had taken a told on my well being.
Steering column locks while turn making it impossible to turn the steering column.there are 168 recent complaints describing a similar problem.with the last occurrence, the charging system light illuminated along with the abs light, traction control light.restarted the car several times and could not steer at all.paused a few minutes, restarted the car and the steering was very loose as if there was no steering control.this is very dangerous. There was a recall on model year 2011-2015.nhtsa please investigate and hold the manufacturer accountable.
The power steering in my car has failed and it is only 6 years old. The dash reads "power steering assist fault" when i turn it on and i cannot move the steering wheel. The car is still being financed, yet the steering has gone out and the cost of repair is through the roof. There has been a recall on 2011 mercury milan power steering for the same issue. Why have the 2010 not been recalled? this is ridiculous. My car is worthless and unable to be driven or sold.
For the third time in 3 years the power steering went out in my 2010 mercury milan. Ford still doesn't want to issue a recall on it and giving the 'unfortunately you will have to pay for the repair out of pocket, but keep your receipt in case a recall is issued' speech. It is unacceptable to continue to have this issue. It becomes really unsafe while driving and having your power steering go out. Steering becomes virtually impossible.not everyone can afford a $1,500-$2,000 car repair every year. Had i know this was going to continue to happen after getting it repaired the first time i would've saved money and gotten rid of it.
Our 2010 mercury milan has 45,000 miles.as we were backing out of our garage, a power steering assist fault message displayed in the message center, and all power steering had stopped. We had the car towed to be checked, and the whole electrical power steering mechanism had to be replaced.we learned there have been thousands of complaints with 2010-2014 models, however,the 2010 model was not included in the recall along with the 2011 and newer models. With all of the data proving that the 2010 mercury milans had the same faulty power steering, we need to know why they weren?t included.our bill to repair this was $1948.31.we are very thankful that it happened in the driveway, and not on the road where someone could have been injured.knowing that this should have been a recall, and there are other 2010 milans out there on the road with this issue is very scary. Please highly consider adding this to the recall list. We also feel strongly that we are entitled to be reimbursed for our repair.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
As i was driving through a busy freeway, my steering wheel just locked up making it very difficult for me to turn.i struggled and managed to pull onto the shoulder. I turned the engine off and turned it on a few times but it did not change anything.the fault message "power steering assist fault" and "service advancetrac" did not go away.i drove the car to the closest mechanic shop.the mechanicmentioned to me that i have to replace the steering rack and pinion and perform a wheel alignment. He also mentioned that i may have to reprogram the power steering control module.he gave me a fat estimate of $2100.apparently this same issue has been recalled by ford on their 2011-13 models but not on 2010.i was surprised to read that and reputed companies like ford does not take care of this issue for their valued (?) customers.the car is not worth putting that kind of money in it.i may just put that money as a down payment and get another car.
My 17 year old son was driving his mercury milan premier with only 96,000 miles on the road when the steering assist failure indicator came on.he pulled over and turned the car off. He called me on the phone and i instructed him to turn the car back on. At that point he lost all power steering on the car. He is lucky that this didn't happen on the highway or in the winter. I did some research and found out that this is a known problem on the electronic steering assist. Ford has issued recalls on the 2011 but 2010. The part from the dealer is 1,155 plus the labor will cost around 2100 dollars. Shame on ford for not recalling the 2010! safety should come first!! i'm filing this report with the nhtsa as this is a dangerous failure.
I have took my car in for the power steering and it's always requiring power steering maintenance, the steering wheel got stiff while driving.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. On multiple occasions, while driving various speeds, the contact heard a grinding noise in the steering wheel. Also, the power steering assist indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to dutro ford (132 s 5th st,zanesville, oh 43701, (740) 452-6334) where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that no recalls were associated with the vin. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
Power steering went out on 16 year old daughter while driving.car had to be tied and cost 1300 to fix.see recalls on 2011 milan's with same issue.car has 70k miles.feel we should be reimbursed for expense.
"service power steering now" "service advance trac"lights appeared while driving and nothing seemed to be wrong at that time and then turned back off. Turned car off and parked for over an hour. Started the car the lights flashed back on and the power steering went out. This is not covered under a recall even though the 2011 mercury milan is covered under the recall. Called ford and they said the only way to even have this covered is to pay a fee for the car to be diagnosed under the recall and have it sent in to the special service support center. They may not cover the issue, even though all the other related vehicles have been recalled for this same issue. I am still paying on my car and should not have to fork over $2000 for this to be repaired when others don't have to pay a dime for the same exact thing.
Power steering has failed multiple times on the vehicle. The dashboard displays 'power steering assist fault' and the steering wheel is locked.this occurred both when the vehicle was stationary and in motion.fortunately i was driving in a safe location each time, but had it been on a highway this would have caused a crash.there is a recall for this specific issue on 2011 mercury milans, but not on 2010 models.

The vehicle was in motion on a highway going 65 mph when suddenly the advancetrac light illuminated and a message appeared (power steering malfunction service now). I had to use great force in order to turn the wheel just to exit the highway and safely park my vehicle. The estimated cost for repairs are completely ridiculous for a person who is financing the vehicle. In addition, the later model mercury milans have been recalled for the same issue; however, the 2010 milans were somehow left out of the recall and that is completely asinine. It should be included immediately in that recall.

Power steering activ trak warning came on displaying service power steering soon will driving to the store. Less than a mile down the road the steering wheel locked up. The activ trak said service power steering now. Very dangerous. The part needs to be recalled. Obviously there is still a substantial amount of 2010's on the highway. Despite the plant that it was manufactured in the part if still faulty and then recall needs to be honored on the 2010's as well before a life is lost or someone is seriously injured from losing control.

Tl-contact owns a 2010 mercury milan - --- contact stated power steering that went out - a few weeks ago ago - going 35 mph when steering failed ---contact had called ford/mercury dealership and dealership stated 0 recalls on vehicle .... 0 recalls associated with this vin
Wife was driving car got aural warning accompanied by service power steering, and service advancetrac sys with the skidding car symbol on dash. Complete loss of power steering. There were no prior noises/steering issue that would have lead us to believe there was a problem and thankfully there were no adverse weather conditions such as snow or ice or need to avoid a collision she could barely steer vehicle.
Driving on highway at 65mph when the service power steering light comes on and the power steering goes out with stability control. It was very hard to just keep the car in the lane of the highway not to mention to turn the car. This had happen twice before with a ford dealership resetting the sensor. This time the car went into the ford shop coming out with them having to replace the power steering unit for a cost of 1700.00 but when they reported it to carfax it was only reported as an alignment and inspection! i feel that ford knows this is an issue with this model car.
My wife was backing out of a parking spot at a shopping center when the power steering went out on our 2010 milan. There were no previous warningnotifications prior to this incident. The warning lights indicated to service advance track and service power steering now. I have read that there are recalls for this problem with 2011 milan's and above but not the 2010. Were the same steering components installed in the 2010 as in the 2011 and above. I'm thankful that my wife was just in a parking lot when this took place and no on the express way. Currently at the ford dealer. Waiting to see what the cost will be to repair !!!!!does someone have to get seriously injured or die before ford will include the 2010 milan for this power steering problem.

I was in cincinnati that weekend (3 hours away from home) and as i was pulling into the parking lot of a store, the car jerked very hard and then the wrench showed up on the dash and i lost all power.i was able to coast into a parking space.i then shut off the car and waited a bit and restarted it.the wrench came off the dash and the car was working properly again.we then went about our day and as we were heading back to my nephews football game, we were driving down 4 lanes of traffic and i had just passed a slower moving vehicle when the car jerked abruptly again and i lost all power.i put my turn signal on and was able to turn off a side road.the wrench came on again.it happen the next day as we were attempting to drive back home.we tried to drive the car back home in manual and it worked just fine.i got our car into our local car dealership and they said that it was the throttle body that needed replaced.so after forking out $375, it hasn't done anything since.the reason i'm filing this complaint is that if the throttle body would've acted up while we were traveling through the hilly roads in cincinnati, we would've been in a severe car accident.this problem is a huge concern as you lose all control of the car.you have no gas and the rpm's just quiver on the dash.if i hadn't been able to pull off of the side of the road, we would've been hurt due to a car crash.this concern needs to be sent to ford/mercury as this seems to be a huge problem once i researched it.we were fortunate that this didn't happen while we were traveling 70 mph on i-75 in ohio on our way back.the problem with the throttle body needs to be issued as a recall.it is going to get someone in a very bad accident or killed. *ln

Advancetec warning comes on and power steering needs service comes on and the n you lose power steering . Have had rack and pinon replace and after 2 weeks it goes out again.
My wife was leaving her parking stall in a parking garage when the power steering quit working. She was able to stop before hitting anything. This issue is well known to occur on certain mercury milans and ford fusions. Ford offered to fix 2011 and 2012 cars but not 2010's which has the same system and fault. I would like ford to fix it.
My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway i got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as i was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as i was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while i was driving from one second to the next i got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.
Power steering assist fault. There was a recall for 2011-2015 ford fusion/mercury milan's but not 2010. My car had a $10 part that failed that broke my power steering that almost caused an accident while moving. That puts my life and others at riskit cost me $1760 to repair a $10 part because the $10 part wasn't under recall when obviously it had the same issues as the others.

While in process of a turn the vehicle lost power steering abilities.it started to retract from the turn then lost the ability causing the vehicle to go off at an angle and hit a parked vehicle.2 days prior to the accident the it was discovered that there might have been an issue that would need addressing because it felt like the vehicle lost power steering briefly.after the accident we discovered a recall for power steering problems on the vehicle but my vehicle wasn't part of that recall.there was a police report filed and a claim.we don't have the paperwork yet as this just happened.i have included pictures from the accident.
Electronic power steering system displays message on dash display, as well as service advancetrac. The first time the incident happened i was able to turn the car off and the power steering resumed when i re-started the car. This went on and off intermittently for a couple of months. Now i have no power steering at all and it is extremely difficult (near impossible) to drive safely. Ford has identified this issue in over 400k vehicles that they just released last week. I am in the military and i live in italy and have no idea how to fix this. There is an obvious chronic problem with this and it needs to be corrected. Please add my vehicle to the recall list.http://abcnews.go.com/business/wirestory/ford-recalls-423k-vehicles-power-steering-problem-31332026here is the link to the news article identifying the problem.
In april of 2014 i was driving down a major highway in phoenix, az when suddenly the power steering on the car failed and i received a warning message from the car. I had taken the vehicle to earnhardt ford in chandler, az twice prior to this incident and worked with service advisor gina prior to this incident because the power steering had also stopped working previously but would start working again a few moments after turning on the ignition so earnhardt ford was unable to reproduce the issue. After the power steering failed in april 2014, i drove the car to san tan ford in the gilbert, az area. After a few days, i was quoted a repair price of $7,000 to replace the steering rack entirely. I was told there was no way to repair individual parts in the rack and the whole thing had to be replaced. I had purchased the vehicle as a certified pre-owned car from sanderson ford of glendale, az in october of 2012 with roughly 50,000 miles on it. By the time of the incident in april of 2014, the car had roughly 98,000 miles on it and san tan ford refused to repair the car under warranty. When i contacted my salesman who sold me the car at sanderson, he said i that i should buy a pickup truck instead since that might be more reliable, and that was all he had to say about the situation. I sold the mercury milan on april 28 of 2014 and traded it in for another vehicle at van chevrolet of scottsdale, az since the repair costs closely matched the value of the milan even if it didnā€™t need repairs. In 2015, a recall was announced related to a power steering fault in mercury milanā€™s. I strongly believe my vehicle was affected by this recall.
Power steering assist failure message and service advancetrac message
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the power steering failed to operate intermittently while driving and while the vehicle was stationary. In addition, the power steering assist fault and cross traffic assist fault indicators were illuminated. The contact called bill brown ford (32222 plymouth rd, livonia, mi 48150, (734) 399-4244) and was initially informed that the vehicle was under recall; however, when she arrived at the dealer, the contact was notified that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer informed the contact that they would not repair the vehicle because it was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.
My power steering assist warning and advance trac system fault warning came on randomly for months. When they would, i'd lose power steering, but could turn the car off and on and it would reset and work fine. During those months i took it into the dealer numerous times, but nothing could be found so they would clear the codes and told me repeatedly it was a sensor misfire. I had read reviews of numerous 2010 models having the same issues but never being recalled. Last week my power steering assist fault light came on and i lost power steering completely. I was able to get it into a new auto repair place who diagnosed the entire electric power steering system as having malfunctioned and had to replace the rack and pinion, costing me over $2000. The 2011-2013 models were recalled for this exact reason. The 2010 should be as well. If i had been on backroads driving for my job, which i often am, when this had gone out, this could have been a real safety issue.
The power steering failed while i was driving and the dash indicated "service power steering". I was able to pull the car to the side of the road with great effort. I stopped the car and turned it off. After re-starting the car the power steering worked. The next time the car was started the power steering did not work indicating "service power steering now" and "service advance trac". The car cannot be driven.
My 2010 mercury milan power steering just went out for no reason. I was taking my husband to the airport and the first indicator was service power steering and when it came on and it just got tough to turn. Two days later another indicator service power steering now came on. I have researched and found out that there are plenty of people that have experience the same thing i have. They sent out a recall for the 2011s but we as owners of a 2010 are experiencing the same thing. Ford needs to sent out a recall for this problem because it can cause some serious wrecks and even death luckily i was able to drive home okay. Now i can barely turn the steering wheel so i am not driving this car.
Received a message "power steering assist fault" and the wheel became very hard to steer.did not receive a service warning and we were driving with our grandchildren in the car.very disturbing.the vehicle has about 60k miles and the steering go out?????the charge to repair is will over $2k.no warning.very dangerous!!!! must happen often because our local dealer stocks the item but any other time i had maintenance done the part had to be ordered.hummmmmmm?
I have a 2010 mercury milan this car has been in the shop many times the transmission was slipping it has left me in the middle of an intersection and the last straw was 3 weeks ago when the transmission kicked in when i was turning it popped my neck and i hit a curb. I do not feel safe in the car. One time the gas pedal stuck and i had to reach down and pull out my floor mat. Also trim parts just fall off of this thing.
Interior component of interior driver's door handle snapped preventing driver from opening the door while inside the car. This plastic connector broke when operator placed standard force on handle to open the door.

When braking to slow down or get to a stop the brake pedal pressed down but the car didn't seem to stop as quick as it should have.a while later, when having to brake quickly, the car hit another vehicle infront of it. The accident took place on a city road. No police report was filed because the other car's bumper had minor damage unlike my car which the front & hood of has substantial damage.the repair estimate for me was about 4k dollars which is higher than i can afford.
I had just dropped my wife off at the door of the high school and went to park the car.as i was pulling into the parking space, i put my foot on the brake.instead of slowing down to park, the car accelerated as if i had my foot to the floor on the accelerator.it happened so fast.i hit a concrete post.the car was still accelerating after i hit the post until i took my foot off of the brake.i then put my foot back on the brake and shifted the car into reverse.it worked like it should have.nobody was hurt.the car had almost $3000 worth of damage.this isn't the first time this has happened to us.this is the first time the car was damaged.the other times the car accelerated like this, we thought we were doing something wrong.so we didn't turn it in.we have been driving for at least 25 years and never have had this happen to us before.we figured that we couldn't possibly have our foot touching the brake lightly and have the accelerator to the floor.somebody could have been killed or hurt seriously.the car isn't safe to drive.the ford garage is stating that they couldn't find anything wrong.i contacted ford motor company and they said they were concerned about our safety.they aren't willing to do anything.
My driver door inside handle is inoperative.i have to open door from outside handle.this means either someone has to open door for me from outside, or i roll down my windows to pull on the handle.the lock / unlock electronic button works, as well as the manual lock/unlock handle on the driver's door.however, this only allows locking latch (on the side of the door, see picture) to be able to release.so what happens if i am in an accident and the window is broken or i am in a panic to get out?i can't get out of the car by myself. Furthermore, i have to hit the unlock button for the outside door to be able to unlatch the lock(someone is trying to get me out, and i am dazed and can't open myself, nor understand to hit unlock to allow rescuer to help).i wanted to bring to the dealer i purchased the car from for evaluation.i was informed since my 2010 mercury milan has 80,600 miles, it is out of warranty, and since there is no safety recall on file, i must pay $100 technician inspection fee.then there would be the charge for fixing it.

Driving on highway at 65mph when the service power steering light comes on and the power steering goes out with stability control. It was very hard to just keep the car in the lane of the highway not to mention to turn the car. This had happen twice before with a ford dealership resetting the sensor. This time the car went into the ford shop coming out with them having to replace the power steering unit for a cost of 1700.00 but when they reported it to carfax it was only reported as an alignment and inspection! i feel that ford knows this is an issue with this model car.
Having problems with power steering and electronic stability.wet road the car would slide on curve roadsin snow the car looses power and won't barely moves rpm go down.the steering wheel won't move in reverse sometimes.tires get worn out every 4 to 6 weeks wires show to tire on the in side .steering don't lock when car is off and key out.car sales me to take key out while its in gear.and car can be shift in gear and steer when key is not in. Didn't do this when i got it.once and a while power train light comes on and its stuck in low gear.

The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 25 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to operate. The contact stated that the power steering and traction control indicators illuminated. The local dealer (jorgenson ford, 8333 michigan avenue, detroit, mi 48210) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.
The sensory restrain system (ae5z14b321a) went bad on a car that has sat for most of its life. I received the car from my grandma with around 8000 miles on it. This we bad with about 11900 miles.i researched this and found out this was a common part going bad. There was never recalls done because the part went bad with most people while under warranty. This one part and labor cost me almost 1000.00.1000.00 for a part that was commonly breaking. But because it sat for so long the warranty ran out and i am left with a huge expense to a part that was commonly breaking. To what went wrong.the airbag light came on, wrench light, service advance trac light and traction control light came on. I am 6 months pregnant and have a 2 year old in my car and i got told that this caused all security features to be turned off. If i was to be in an accident my family and i would of not been protected. But this is a common part going bad but no one said anything because they went bad when everyone had warranty.
The door handle broke so that when seated in the vehicle, you are unable to get out.this part failure is on the drivers side door.
Nothing has happened yet , i'm just shocked to know that they haven't came up for a remedy for the airbag recall. If something happens to my daughter who drives this car everyday i don't know what i would do. My children are my life !
The car stalled on the highway, started up. About a mile later it stalled again...no warning lights came on... Then combusted into flames and burnt to the ground.*dt*as*dt
When driving at high speeds on the freeway there is a jerk in the car, the triangle warning light comes on that says pull over when safe, the engine shuts off, and we can no longer accelerate. We pull over, turn off the car, and then turn it back on.
I was driving on 495 toward silver spring/georgia ave. And the call just loss acceleration without warning.the engine and wrench lights illuminated on the dash.the car cruisedat about 5 miles an hour.an extremely dangerous situation to say the least.i was in the middle lane and had to work my way over to the shoulder.i'm taking the car to the ford dealership on 8/23/2016 for diagnosis.there appears to have been complaints reported to nhtsa about this problem and the case was closed without a recall.let me tell you, this problem is not only real but extremely dangerous.something more needs to be done.
I was at a store for a while i came outside i crank my car put the car in reverse simultaneously the traction control light the abs system light came on along with the power steering going out i did see. This is all the symptoms of a recall but it is not associated with my vin number now the dealership that has my vehicle has service three other recalls where is servicing three other recalls that has told me that now i will have to pay $3,500 for a rack and pinion replacement and whatever this recall causes for my brakes
"takata recall" on my way home from work white smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe then the check engine started flashing really fast then stopped. I made it as it as far as my street then the check power steering/ advanced tran warning flashed and as i turned in the driveway the power steering completely gave out and flashed service power steering now. I just purchased this car and i am making payments now i have to fix my power steering. Wow
This is the 2nd time i am having issues with the throttle body. I brought the car in, in 2015 for the exact same problem.i'm driving along and the car starts hesitating then starts bucking like crazy and conks out.i start the car back up and it drives fine until the next time it does it again.this is very dangerous and almost recently got me in an accident.i was in the left hand turning lane of a very busy road crossing over 2 lanes & started to proceed as the car started hesitating, slowed down and conked out. I almost got hit by oncoming traffic.i called ford today to find out if it was still a covered item and was told it was under the customer satisfaction program for a one time fix, which i already had.so now it's my responsibility to pay for the repair of a defective part??this should have been a recall.the complaints are still rolling in on the milan's and several other ford vehicles.
#1:shortly after purchasing the milan the car began to just shut down while i was driving. I would have to coast to the side of the road, wait a few minutes & then it would restart. I again had it taken to the service center and they had to replace the throttle body. Now i am having this same problem again. This problem has began again. I again took it to the service center & they couldn't fix anything because they said that they couldn't get the car to mimic the problem.i have 2 young children and during one of the failures i was traveling on a rural country road with nowhere to pull off due to stone mountains on each side of the road. I had to wait in the middle of the road a few minutes until the car would cooperate and start again. This a serious safety issue. We all could've been killed and nobody would ever be able to figure out what happened because according to these technicians the car is fine. It needs to be known that the car is not fine and is dangerous to the drivers and other individuals on the road alongside these cars. #2:also, shortly after purchasing the milan i was having trouble getting it started in the morning. The car would simply not start, wouldn't even try to turn over, the message board would say service advance trac the other electrical components in the car worked fine, the car couldn't be "jumped" either. After a few hours it would start up fine. Took the car to the service center and they reprogrammed the keys and now a year later i am having the same problem. Since the center states they cannot get the car to mimic this problem when the car is at the center they haven't fixed anything. At least once a week i have this happen and have to use an alternate means of transportation.my car now has 38,000 miles on it but these problems have been happening since about 24000. Help ford adopt some of the aspects of "our credo values" by j&j!
Takata inflators : i picked up my 2010 mercury milan after being advised of the recall and was told my vehicle could not be driven i received a call today after 2 months stating my car was ready as i arrived to the dealership i returned the rental and tried to start my own car and could not the vehicle was jumped and i left dealer turned into traffic and could not accelerate as the car was seized up into 2nd gear the belts have possible dry rot brakes have corrosion from the car being stationary all the time waiting on parts. I returned to the dealer where i was told many cars are having numerous issues and they could not help me and i was then left to drive my unsafe vehicle home
I was driving along on the highway and i felt my car stall a little, then my speed started slowing down automatically.the wrench symbol came on the dashboard so i pulled over and the car shut off.i was able to start the car and i started driving again but my car wouldn't let me go over 40 miles an hour so i pulled over again.i was only 5 miles from home so i was able to drive my car home.we took it to a ford dealership and they ran tests on it and i was told the throttle body needed replaced.they said it was covered under my warranty however they didn't know when they could get the part for me because it was out of stock.i did my own research and found that there is a possible recall on the throttle body for my type of car.waiting to get my car fixed.
It's been pulling hard and jerking the car lot was supposed to fix it and never has i don't know what to do and it always smells like it's overheating
Driver side door handle is broken and will not open from the inside of the car.i have to lower the window to reach outthe window to reachthe outside door door handle to open the door.
Power steering assist fail at 133000 miles. I was just starting my car
When driving, the car feels like it shifts gears, the wrench light comes on and engine power is lost. After pulling over, turning off the engine and restarting, the car drives normally. This happened multiple times in one day. Dealer reprogrammed pcm and it was fine for two months. Same thing happened on june 21, 2012. This is potentially life threatening problem because it has happened at highway speeds in rush hour conditions. Many consumer reports of same symptoms can be easily found on internet by searching for "electronic throttle control."when i took car to dealer after most recent occurrence, they said their were no codes showing so there was nothing to fix. Ford needs to investigate why this is happening and recall/fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured because of this problem!
Door handles braking on driver/passenger doors. Having difficult time rolling window up/down in driver's side. Checked online, and this appears to be a common problem.
I drove down my driveway, turned left to pull into my garage. As i approached the door opening, turning, slowing, with my foot on the break and before straightening the wheel, it seemed like the car had a mind of its own.i could not stop it.my foot was firmly on the break pressing with all my strength.the car did not stop until it hit the side of the garage door opening.
Went to open the driver side door and wasn't able to open frominside. I had to roll the window down to open door from outside handle. I find this to be a hazard if an emergency would have occurred. My car was in off position after parking and removing key out of ignition.
My car has stopped numerous time in the middle of a busy expressway and has almost resulted in a accident. I had two small children in my vehicle at thetime, my car continues to stop many times and i attempted to get the problem solved but i cannot since there is a severe back order on mercury milan throttle body. Therefore i am forced to drive in unsafe conditions because of a mass problem that is obviously going on with ford/mercury vehicles.
After coming to a stop and turned the corner, there was no power.pulled over and shut the car off and waited a few minutes and restarted.the wrench light that was on, shut off once the car started up.took it into the dealer.they could find nothing wrong after a diagnostic test.do not feel secure in driving as wonder when this will happen again.
While traveling at 55mph my vehicle stalled, lost all power and came to a stop at the side of the road.it was restarted several times each time with the wrench symbol illuminated.was only able to drive home at 45mph and the car bucked and stalled two times.will be calling ford for repair.luckily i signed up for the extended service plan when i purchased this vehicle as a certified pre owned car at the dealership.this is obviously a throttle body issue which i will be explaining to the tech's when i bring it in for repair.and more importantly, this is a major safety issue for the occupants of this car and other cars involved if an accident were to occur.
My 2010 mercury milan would not exceed 15 miles per hour and did not respond to the gas pedal.the engine and transmission light were lit on my dashboard
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated and jerked with the illumination of the maintenance and check engine lights. The vehicle was taken to independent mechanic where it was advised that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Commuting home from work the gas pedal became unresponsive, the entire began running very rough, and the red wrench symbol illuminated on my drivers display.coasted to a safe spot to pull off, turned off the car let it sit for a minute or two, restarted the car, the display was clear, gas pedal response was good, and engine sounded normal.drove home without further incident.four days later a similar incident, contacted my ford garage, described the problem and made an appointment for a diagnostic.diagnostic came back with the throttle body diagnosis, the parts are on back order with no estimated receiving date.will cost just under $500 to repair, 3 months out of bumper to bumper coverage, just under 27k on the car.not covered under the extended power train coverage because it is a sensor/ electrical problem.i am 7th or 8th in line for the part when it becomes available at my local dealership.
While driving around 60 mph on a major highway the car suddenly would not continue to accelerate and i came to a stop. This was a very dangerous situation. I put the car in park and shut it off. I turned it back on and it took a few seconds to start. I drove away again only to have the exact same thing happen about a mile down the road.
Pulling on to a busy street the vehicle lost all power. We were nearly rear ended and had to deal with an agitated driver. The vehicle would idle but had no power. This allowed us to move to the side of the road. After a period of the time the vehicle was restarted and performed normally. Although this problem happened repeatedly before we made it home. Autoserv, 40 e main st., tilton nh confirmed that is was a defective throttle body. Contact with the ford regional rep. Showed that of the 3 year / 30,000 mile bumper to bumper this vehicle had 22,000 miles and 3 years and 2 weeks. Thus there was no ford restitution.personally, with my experience above, i believe this is a very serious safety concern.
Wrench light came on and car started shaking and sputtering and would not advance and i almost got rear ended.i feel this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.also the engine light came on. Thank you
I was passing another car. I began to increase my speed. The reading of my speedometer began to decrease & my car began to stop pulling, as if it had lost its energy. I pulled over to side of road.pressed on the gas pedalto idle up car. Nothing happened. Turned car off & back on.car began to drive normal for about 5 days.then it happened two more times in one day.next, i took it to a ford dealership.they stated it would take about $520 to repair. I thought my platinum warranty would cover this but, unfortunately i was told it wouldn't.i just purchase this car in feb 2013.today's date is august 16,2013....not a happy customer!!!!
When trying to accelerate my car chugs and feels as if it wants to stall. I have to accelerate at a very very slow pace.
I was driving approx 60 mph on a highway. My car "jerked" forward once, and i completely lost the ability to accelerate.after moving to the shoulder of the road, my car was shaking and difficult to put in park due to the shaking.car would start up again, but did not have the ability to accelerate except in low drive.would not accelerate except in low. Had to towed to the dealership, where the throttle body needed replaced and kam reset. This is a 2010 car, fairly new.
I was driving on the highway, on my way home when my car seemed liked it stalled. The wrench image on the dash board appeared, and i coasted my car off of the highway because i was coming up to an exit. Once my car slowed down to about 10-15 mph the car seemed like it was actually jumping, or bucking and trying to drive at a very slow pace. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, and shut the care off. I restarted the car, and the samething happened with the motor running rough, and the image of the wrench on my dash appearing. I shut the car off again, and let it sit for a couple of minutes, and restarted the car while holding the throttle down, and the car seemedto function fine after that. This also happened the next day on my way to work same exact scenario just a different place on the highway.
While driving, the car was unable to accelerate and stalled.the wrench light also came on.once pulled over, i restarted the car and was able to drive it back home without further incident.

The vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection and they stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,150.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power then it stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
I have owned this vehicle for the past year and a half. There have been times when initially putting the vehicle into drive or reverse, that i would notice a surge, but nothing more than that. And nothing i thought anymore about. Yesterday the car drove a couple of blocks normally, then started the same surging but this time the surging did not stop and i had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer. They told me the throttle body was stuck open and it has to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate properly and the mil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the throttle body had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 31,875.
Shortly after purchase, vehicle would 'stumble' at highway speeds (40-65). Power would recover and continue. Problem seemed to occur more often in hot weather and seemed less frequent in cooler (winter) weather. Dealer could not duplicate but performed recall 10b15c.problem worsened with loss of power without warning at anywhere between 35 - 65mph with 'wrench' appearing on display. Shutting car off and restart after a couple/few minutes returns power with no illumination of wrench or engine symbol. Power loss now occurring on each trip and has occurred repeatedly within short time (minutes) of first failure. If engine dies repeatedly, engine symbol illuminates and codes p2111 and p0685 have been found. Engine now dies both at highway speeds and at idle. Researched web for codes and found that throttle body is a likely problem.contacted dealer(s) who stated any repairs would be at customer's expense.
I was traveling on a highway 6-29 going 65mph then the check engine light came on, engine lost power, and i was unable to accelerate. I coasted to the side of the highway and stopped. After 20 seconds i restarted the car and was able to get within one mile of my home before it happened again. On 6-30 i dropped the car off at the dealership and on the way to the dealership, it happened again. This time i was on a busier highway and i almost caused an accident while trying to get to the side of the highway eventhough i had my four way flashers on. Ford has a back order of the throttle housing that has to be replaced and it will take two weeks to get the new part. My car is unsafe to drive but the dealership and ford will not authorize a loaner or rent without me paying full price for one. We have a second vehicle so it was not that big of a deal but if we didn't have a second vehicle we would have had to drive the car with this safety issue or rent a car at full cost with no assistance from ford. Ford is making a new throttle housing and not using the old faulty part. This is causing the delay in having parts to fix this issue. Ford knows of the problem but has not issued a recall and all the cost falls on the owner of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart after two attempts. The failure recurred on two other occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. The vin was unavailable.
I was driving on the highway going about 70mph when my car jolted. Then from there it decelerated very fast. I pushed on the gas and nothing it felt like it was in neutral with nothing happening. I quickly was able to get into the breakdown lane but due to being in the high speed lane i almost got hit by 2 cars. As i pulled over it felt like the car was about to stall. I shut the car off and waited. I turned it back on and it drove fine. About 2 months ago i had stopped at a stop sign and when i went to drive my car again felt like it was in neutral no matter how much i pressed on the gas it did not go anywhere... Even though it was in the drive gear. I shut it off and turned it on and it was fine. My car feels like it hesitates and bucks sometimes when i am driving also. This seems extremely dangerous seeing as i was almost in an accident yesterday on the highway. I was told i needed to see if my vin was part of the campaign recall to get this fixed. I will say if i find out its not part of the recall even though its listed in it theni will never by a ford or mercury every again because it shows they could care less about how dangerous something is and its fords fault no fault of mine!
Approximately one year ago, while driving at highway speed on a three lane interstate, my car stalled.i was able to steer it off to the shoulder and turn off the car.it then restarted and there has been no problem since, until yesterday.driving at approx. 45 mph, the car again stalled.again, i managed to get the vehicle off to the side of the road, turned it off and then back on.i was close to home so decided to try and limp home.i did eventually make it home but with numerous stalls, slowing of traffic and even through an intersection near a busy school at bus time.i stopped traffic numerous times and was not able to accelerate beyond 10-15mph.this morning, i am told by the mechanic that the problem is the throttle body.apparently, there are no replacement parts available since many other vehicles are also in need of this part. I am home from work today, arranging for rental or courtesy cars, and i am told it will be approximately $500-600 to repair!i have owned this car for only 1-1/2 years.
I was driving on the freeway at 65 mph and the car seemed to stall. I lost power and coasted to a stop. I could push the accelerator to the floor and the car had enough power to crawl forward. I turned the key off and that cleared the problem. However the problem came back a few days later. Again i turned the key off and the problem cleared. After this happened a second time i took the car to a friend who owns a mechanics shop. He hooked up the car to his computer and he retrieved a code for the problem. After receiving the code i called the dealer i bought the car from and the service department told me the code was for the throttle body. The dealer told me ford would not cover the replacement of this part. About a week after the initial occurrencei lost power again and i turned the key off, the problem cleared but only long enough to drive another mile and it happened again and again and again. Luckily i was in town and i found the closest mechanics shop to take it too.
Sudden loss of acceleration or ability to drive.immediate display of icon showing mechanical problem.towed to dealer, where throttle body failure was diagnosed.this incident occurred on a treacherous stretch of i-40 entering north carolina, where shoulder is very narrow, and we barely escaped injury and/or death.
Car started to slow down sputter lose power no throttle response had to pull off busy rush hour traffic.waited about five minutes restarted car. Went to ford they could not duplicate problem. Searched internet found several similar conditions resulting in faulty throttle body asym. Happened again twice, very dangerous back to dealership they found faulty throttle body, guess what part on national back order need to drive car two to three weeks with this condition not too safe.car has 2.5 engine auto trans.
Driving thru town at approx 30 mph the vehicles warning lights flashed for check engine and the throttle control warning (wrench) illuminated.the vehicle would not respond to any activation of the gas peddle and drifted to idle power.not understanding what went wrong, i shut the car down and restarted it to clear the faults.i re-entered traffic and proceeded about 50 ft before it happened again.i proceeded to follow the same reset process and was able to limp the car home. The car was towed away and repaired by replacing the electronic throttle body.research shows that since 2004 ford has known that this problem exists and that the engine design default is to bring the car down to idle power.internet chat boards have stories of this happening on highways at high rates of speed.ford claims there is no recall because the government (you guys) have not required them to do so despite the failure mode, and public safety implications, being exactly the same as nhtsa action number pe13031.ford fixed the problem recently but did not scrap old defective inventory and refuses to fix those suspect parts on our roads.they have calculated the costs and choose to risk public safety instead of a recall.
When driving at high speeds on the freeway there is a jerk in the car, the triangle warning light comes on that says pull over when safe, the engine shuts off, and we can no longer accelerate. We pull over, turn off the car, and then turn it back on.
Passing another vehicle when my car suddenly stalled. If it wasn't for the quick thinking of the car i was passing, who sped up, i would have not had time to pull back into my lane in time to avoid a collision with an oncoming car. I had to pull off the road and put the car in park and restart it. It ran fine after that. Unfortunately, this stalling and rough running has happened on several occasions. From what i have read, it looks to be a problem with the throttle body. As you can see, this can be very dangerous when it happens at the wrong time. I never know when it will happen as there is no warning.
With no warning, vehicle appeared to stall out which resulted ina limp home or reduced power mode; after the third circumstance we took vehicle to the dealer for replacement of the throttle body and motor asy.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated without manual force and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.
While driving on a country road at 50 mph on mon. May 27th, the car seemed to stall, the gas pedal didn't work & we had to pull over asap. After stopping & restarting the car, we were able to proceed home.at the time, i thought it was a fluke.then on may 30th it happened again on my street going around 30 mph, so i called the dealer and they said i could come in the next day. Later that same day, i was in rush hour traffic on rt 22(busy highway) & it happened while i was going 60 in the left lane,this was very scary as it was difficult to get over to the shoulder with so much traffic.i took my car to the ford dealer on friday may 31st & they said there were no alerts on the car, that they would do a software upgrade that would hopefully fix the issue.the receipt they gave me listed that a throttle body was needed, & it was on back order. I have been trying to minimize using the car, but on june 15th i had to go to my niece and nephew's dance recital in south nj. While driving home on 295 (major highway) going around 65 the car died again.i was able to proceed after restarting the car, but didn't make it home again without it happening another time. I was making a left turn at an intersection light and the engine died. Thank god it wasn't a wider intersection or i would not have been able to coast through.at this point this car is unusable and is a death trap waiting to happen.i called another dealer, and the part is on back order there as well. This is clearly a major problem with defective throttle bodies in the 2010 milan that should be recalled, i would like to know how this problem will be rectified.the proof is in the fact that they cannot make the part fast enough to fix the broken cars.the two dealers i dealt with are aware of this widespread problem, obviously due to a manufacturing defect with the throttle body assembly. I have <60k miles.
Unintentional acceleration 2010 mercury milan hybrid.
Traveling on the freeway during rush hour at approximately 70mph when my 2010 mercury milan began losing speed, in spite of pressing accelerator to the floor. Got the car to the emergency lane and turned it off. Waited approximately three minutes and restarted engine and all was well again. This problem has happened each day for the last three days--nearly killing me on saturday. Could not get it in anywhere for diagnosis because of the weekend. Did internet search and find this site, which has more than 250 complaints of the same problem!!!!!! i even called a ford dealership and the service representative told me that it sounded like a fuel filter. C'mon ford, you know there is a problem, here. I am going to the dealership tomorrow, monday, and will insist on this problem being fixed without any cost to me. I urge everyone to call ford at 800-392-3673. This is a very dangerous defect. There is no warning before the car loses all acceleration.
My wife was driving this car on the nj garden state parkway at 65 mph in the express lanes when the vehicle started running bad and lost power. This was a dangerous condition to lose power at that speed. She pulled the car over to side, shut off engine, then restarted and was able to move vehicle about a mile and get off the parkway at exit 117 to route 35 south. The car again started to run bad and she pulled into a ford dealership near this exit. The ford dealer had to replace the throttle body which went bad. This took 5 days as there is a national shortage for this part.#ds7z9e926d. It is evident that ford has a serious problem with this part breaking down on thousands of cars as i see other customer complaints on the internet. I contacted ford corp. In detroit and was told not under warranty on my car. This needs to be a recall. I worry that this part is defective, won't last long and will have to be replaced again in the future. I worry about another breakdown at high speed--very dangerous condition.
I wasdriving with the cruise control set at 60mph and the car popped and lost speed and the car would barely stay running. I pulled off the road ( during rush hour) and shut the car off. I re-started the car and it ran correctly.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate despite the accelerator pedal being depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection. The contact was advised that the throttle body failed but did not have a clear diagnosis how it failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Driving to work one morning my car appeared to stall without warning on the incline of a viaduct. It slowed dramatically without me braking, so there were no brake lights to warn other drivers. I was fortunate the driver behind me was paying attention and did not run into me. I made an emergency maneuver to get off the road, and called aaa for a tow. While on hold with aaa, i restarted my car. It appeared to be working normally, so i went to work without incident.later in the day my car seemed to stall again on the way to lunch. This was in a remote area with no other traffic. Again it restarted, and worked fine on my return to work.while driving home it happened a third time in a construction zone. I had to pull over near huge rollers that were leveling newly laid asphalt. Luckily it started again and i merged back into construction traffic and drove home.i called the ford dealer i bought the car from. They told me over the phone it sounded like another bad throttle body. I got a ride to work the next day, and took it in as soon as i could get an appointment. The ford dealer replaced the throttle body, and i have had no problems since.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph and attempting to park in a parking lot, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle accelerate independently. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a light post then the vehicle violently went backwards due to the impact approximately 6 feet. The engine and the radiator were punctured due to the impact causing the vehicle to be undrivable. The contact went to a doctor where it was confirmed she sustained neck and minor bruising. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 182,000.
While driving, the throttle would lose the ability to send fuel to the motor thus causing no acceleration ability.i was required to pull off of the road and turn the vehicle off and restart it.the check engine light and throttle light came on.the vehicle needed an new electronic throttle body.
I was traveling at a high rate of speed (70mph) when my engine began to "stall out" on me causing a rapid deceleration. I would say it stalled, but it did not 100% cutout, rather it went into thelowest limp mode on the engine. Luckily, since it was a busy time of night (approximately 6pm), i was in the right hand land and was able to pull off before being rear ended...though it would almost inevitably happened had i been in any other lane. I was near an exit and coasted slowly in the limp mode and made it to a parking lot, where i turned off my car and popped the hood to examine the issue further. The oil was within range and belts were ok. Just as i was finishing the coasting, i saw the "wrench" light illuminate. After checking the engine, i was able to re-start my car and drive home without incident. I looked up the issue online & found many others with the same issue.i ordered oem replacement parts that took about a week to arrive.over the course of that week, the issue occurred several more times and happened more and more frequently.i avoided highways altogether for safety concerns.i contacted ford who told me i could have it repaired at my cost at a dealership (since i was a few thousand over the powertrain warranty).i bought oem parts & did the repair myself and the issue has not happened again since.this is the exact issue listed in nhtsa action number: pe13003.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact also mentioned that the failure recurred several times.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the throttle body had carbon build up inside. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact was driving 25 mph when the engine stalled with the illumination of the check engine warning lamp. The vehicle was repaired and diagnosed as having a faulty electronic throttle body. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 30000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle overheated and the driver's side brake light constantly illuminated on a different occasion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the throttle body and radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to a private mechanic who found that the tail light needed to be replaced. The vehicle was being repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle began to independently decelerate without warning. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. The vehicle resumed normally upon restarting. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the electronic throttle body would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.updated 8/19/13
While operating the vehicle under normal conditions the vehicle would stall out and lose power resulting in rapid decrease in speed and create unsafe driving situations. Car would still be running but pressing the gas would not result in acceleration. Turning vehicle off and restarting again would sometimes remedy problem but problem increased in frequency and severity, even happening to my wife while driving the vehicle on the highway at speeds in excess of 60+ mph traveling through bridge/tunnel system in local area.
The rear right exterior light burned out. There are supposedly led lights. Dealer notified me that the cost of the part was approximately $450.00 and that did not include labor. This is a safety issue and ford refuses to pay anything. This car is a 2010 mercury milan. It is my first ford product. I have been a loyal toyota driver before their but wanted to buy an american car. This is after the throttle body had to be replaced. How can they justify this?
While traveling at approx.70 mph on the highway the vehicle, a 2010 mercury milan premier, lost ability to accelerate. While vehicle was idling at 1000rpm there was no acceleration at the gas pedal. Vehicle pulled to side of road, placed in park and restarted. This condition happened eleven times on a 22 mile commute from work.approximately every eight minutes.as traffic was very heavy this was a very dangerous situation.vehicle has just over 36000 miles.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle decelerated without manual force and stalled with the illumination of the maintenance light. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis where it was stated the throttle assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
My vehicle was towed at my expense to a shop. The verdict was a 'throttle body' issue. This vehicle went into the 'limp home' mode with no warning. I would challenge the president of ford to attempt to limp this vehicle just 5 miles on any busy road in the nation in this mode. Apparently, judging by my research,it is an ongoing problem and widespread. As of right now the vehicle is unusable, since the parts are on 'indefinite back-order' awaiting some sort of release of parts. The vehicle is stuck at a dealership, no fix date in sight until the part (or substitute part) becomes available. This leave me with no transportation (i'm disabled currently) and no recourse. Even if i find a currently available replacement part, without whatever fix is needed, my faith in the vehicle is gone. Faith in all ford vehicles i might add. The ride home was dangerous at the crawl speed it will do, especially with the lurching at times.
I was driving down the freeway at 65 mph, when the check engine and transmission light came on and the car immediately started to decelerate and i was not to give the car gas to get out of the way of moving traffic. After turning the car off and turning the car on again, the car seemed to have reset itself and the car started working properly again. A couple of months later, now at 41000 miles, the car is having this problem more frequently and is unsafe to drive. I took the car to a dealership to see what was wrong with the car when they stated to me that the throttle body kept getting stuck closed. I feel this should be looked into further as a problem with the throttle body should not be going out for a car that is still practically brand new.
I was driving to work with the cruise control set at 55mph. The car suddenly lost power and throttle response. There was a wrench warning light lit up on the instrument panel.had no choice but to pull the car over to the shoulder.i turned off the car and restarted it. The wrench light disappeared and i had throttle response. I drove it 3 more miles down the highway and the car did it again. I pulled to an off ramp and took the car by city streets back home.i later took the car to my fathers shop where they hooked up a handheld 'scanner' to it and was unable to pull the wrench light code.i tooled the car back home and parked it and started driving my truck. I had my mechanic buddy bring his mac tool scanner to my house and we hooked it to the car and he was unable to pull the code. So we drove the car with the scanner hooked up and waited for the car to act up again. It acted up again on the highway. We pulled over and got a code saying the "tac is stuck open".i believe it to be a bad throttle body assembly.i researched this on google.
Takata inflators : i picked up my 2010 mercury milan after being advised of the recall and was told my vehicle could not be driven i received a call today after 2 months stating my car was ready as i arrived to the dealership i returned the rental and tried to start my own car and could not the vehicle was jumped and i left dealer turned into traffic and could not accelerate as the car was seized up into 2nd gear the belts have possible dry rot brakes have corrosion from the car being stationary all the time waiting on parts. I returned to the dealer where i was told many cars are having numerous issues and they could not help me and i was then left to drive my unsafe vehicle home
Driving 55 mph car powers down and yellow wrench warning light goes on. Car will not accelerate. Immediately pull over to prevent from getting rear-ended. Let car sit for ten minutes and restarted. Car traveled .25 miles before powering down once again. Brought it to dealership who said it was the was electronic throttle body. 650 dollars later the problem was fixed. I see that this has affected a multitude of ford vehicles. Unfortunately, one of them was mine. Ford needs to issue a recall for this part. Someone could seriously be hurt when traveling at a high rate of speed and losing engine power.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact pulled the vehicle over and restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls and referred him to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 55,000. The vin was unavailable.
At highway speeds the vehicle would have a total loss of power forcing a pull over and shutting car down waiting and restarting.the maintenance symbol(wrench) would go away and car will run smooth till next occurrence.found out that there have been electronic throttle body failures resulting in engine stall and or surge while driving.these ford vehicles are also having multiple led tail light failures due to defect.400.00 a piece for whole lens is only way to replace defective lamp.
While driving on a straight flat highway at 55 mph the throttle suddenly revved up and remained revved up as i removed foot from gas pedal visually checked that it was in drive and that the cruise control wasn't on, and it was in drive and cruise was t turned on.i tapped the gas pedal, then tapped 3 quick times, tapped the brake pedal and about 2-3 seconds after i tapped the brake pedal it quit revving up and it went back to normal, decelerated because i didn't have my foot on either pedal. I continued to drive it and haven't had any other problems.
Initially it began as reduced power to the engine and the wrench/check engine light illuminating. However, after that, i would get surges of power to the engine and the car would jump forward. The car remained drivable, but clearly unsafe. I could not with any confidence continue to drive the car especially on the highway which i do daily.
My car sped up while i had my foot on the brake i just got it stopped before i hit a truck the first time. The second time i was pulling into my garage to park my car when it sped up and i took the center section between my doors before i got it stopped. It done $3299 to the garage and $2600 to the car. Fordchecked it out for two hours and could not find anything wrong.
Driving along, all of a sudden my car slowed, my gas pedal became unresponsive (would not accelerate), the rpm's would not even go to 1000, would stay below that. When i placed the car in park, the motor began to shake. As soon as the car lost speed the wrench light came on. After stopping and turning off the car and restarting, the wrench light was gone and car ran fine. This happened to me 3 days in a row at different speeds, different miles in between occurrences. Took the car to my trusted mechanic ( after second occurrence), they could not find the problem. After the third occurrence i took it to the ford dealership and they knew what the issue was right away and fixed it in less than an hour and proceeded to charge me $171.00 for the throttle body and $330.00 in labor for an hour of work. Please keep investigating as this is very dangerous and seems to be a common problem with this car. I was on a highway twice and was fortunate to get into a middle turn lane before being rear ended. It was a close call and very scary as i was powerless to do anything but stop the car on a very busy road and pray to not get in an accident. It is unfair that i had to pay almost $600 to replace a defective part. The manufacturer should be responsible.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the vehicle shook with a jerking motion and shut off. The wrench warning icon and the check engine light simultaneously illuminated when the failure occurred. The vehicle restarted within a minute but operated for an unpredictable time and distance. The contact cleaned the throttle body and started the engine but it shut off again.the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 45,000. Updated 11/5/13the consumer purchased the part, and installed it himself. Updated 11/12/13
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the check engine soon and wrench warning icon was illuminated. Aditionally, the contact stated that she had received a customer satisfaction directly related to failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the throttle body was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000 and the current mileage was 19,000.
The first incident occurred while traveling on a highway going almost 60 mph when the cruise control stopped and the car slowed and when you pushed the gas petal it did nothing. We slowed and tried to pull to the side of the road, as the car was almost to a stop it started jerking and sputtering almost dying. We put it in park and turned the engine off. We turned the engine back on and it started just fine then this same thing continued to happen every few miles. Check engine light was on so we took it in to have a computer hooked up to see what was wrong but the check engine light had turned off so they were unsure. The problem seemed to just go away for about a week and then it happened again and we got it in and hooked up to a computer and got the codes which we were informed meant we needed the throttle body replaced and it was a common problem with these cars and to contact a ford dealer. Since this last incident it has happened multiple times causing us to not be able to drive the car even a few blocks without it happening 3-4 times. We are now without a vehicle as it is not only unsafe to drive but very inconvenient to have to stop and go a million times to make a short drive. This is ridiculous and from all i have researched it a huge problem for many owners of these and similar cars! this is dangerous and should be recalled and those with issues should not be responsible for making these repairs!
Panel light came on,"service power steering now" while driving,had towed,reset, did the same the next day while driving. Replaced gear and pinion, next day the same problem occurred, almost had a wreck. Car has 117,000 miles.no the traction light come on. Had reset ,same problem. Advance auto had codes c1277,c1963,p1450,p0456
My car has stopped numerous time in the middle of a busy expressway and has almost resulted in a accident. I had two small children in my vehicle at thetime, my car continues to stop many times and i attempted to get the problem solved but i cannot since there is a severe back order on mercury milan throttle body. Therefore i am forced to drive in unsafe conditions because of a mass problem that is obviously going on with ford/mercury vehicles.
Vehicle loss of power to gas pedal on interstate 3 times...had to pull over and turn off then restart.electronic throttlebody code p2111.
Driving on freeway when vehicle acceleration became unresponsive. Pulled over to the side of the freeway and could tell engine was still running but not well. Turned vehicle of using the key and restarted the engine. It was a little hesitant to start - it took 5-6 seconds of the key being turned for it to start but had no problems after until the next occurrence. This occurred around 5-6 times until i could get it to the dealership with no regard for speed/road conditions/driving conditions. One moment it was fine the next it had no acceleration.
While commuting to work on the highway, the engine started bucking and hesitating, then went into an idle. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, shut the engine off for about 20 seconds. When i restarted it, it took longer to actually start. I drove for another 5 minutes and it happened again. This time i pulled over, turned the engine off and waited a couple minutes before restarting. I was able to drive to the dealer on side roads at no more than 35 mph without another incident. The mechanic told me the throttle body needed to be replaced and it is on backorder until mid-july - 5 weeks away! furthermore, since it is not on recall, they won't pay for a loaner.
Pulled out of driveway, attempted to accelerate, engine sputtered the no power.able to restart engine, attempted to accelerate again, engine sputtered again then completely lost power.engine check light came on and remained on.
I was driving about 65 mph on the freeway, when all of a sudden my car starts shaking. I tried to get off the freeway but the car had no power so i tried to move to the shoulder as quickly as possible, bad idea. As my speed is decreasing rapidly there is cars honking and trying to move around to avoid hitting me. I get to the median, between and exit and the freeway, and turn off my car. I turn on my car again and as i tried to get onto the freeway the car wont let me pick up speed and it starts shaking again. I was stuck in the median for around 10 minutes before traffic got clear enough for me to enter the lane as slow as possible, being that every time i stepped on the gas to get in the lane it would start shaking. To me this is a dangerous problem and can't believe it is not a recall. I hope something is done about this issue because for the money they charge us for these cars they could at least make a car that wont crap out so soon!
I work for the drug enforcement administration and my official government vehicle a 2010 ford mercury milan stalled while driving on the highway at approximately 60 to 65 per hour. The car stalled and i had to pull over. I took the vehicle to the mechanic and was advised that there is a problem with the throttle body which causes the vehicle to stall. The part is on back order with ford and a internet search for this problem is pretty wide spread. The stalling of a vehicle traveling on the highway is a serious hazard to the public. I don't know if this problem has been addressed with the ford motor company.
Vehicle stalls out , no rpm's, over $400 in repairs to an item that should last a lifetime in a vehicle, i understand this is a common problem in ford fusion and mercury milan's. The electronic throttle body should be a recalled item. This could cause an accident if vehicle stalls on a major highway.
My family and i were driving on the highway at 70ish mph, and all of a sudden, it was like the car went into neutral, had zero power at all. We tried to coast to the side of the road, and ended up getting ran off the road and into a ditch due to heavy traffic and heavy rain at the time it failed. We are ok, no one was injured, but i am highly upset at the ford motor company. My wife said she was so glad i was driving when it happened, because she felt she would have lost control and had a severe wreck. Our 2 year old daughter was with us when this happened =-(
Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 mph, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When i got home after a few restarts i hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! it was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! after reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! a design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for ford !!! i have read too many complaints about the same problem.my car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.
Driving 2 weeks ago, going 45 mph and the accelerator stopped working. Engine was running and i could still safely pull it over to the side of the road.i turned the vehicle off and then back on and it worked again.since there were many areas of non-safe roads to pull over, i decided to have it towed home. It has driven fine ever since, until today, going 55mph, on the interstate, accelerator stops working.i safely pulled over, turned off and restarted engine.i safely drove to my nearest ford dealership where they say it is the throttle sensor.why is this not eligible for recall yet as i read these many, many pages of posts on the same thing? i have to wait until november for the part as it is on backorder. No safe car to drive until then.

Driving on highway when i was no longer able accelerate in my 2010 mercury milan.the car began to jerk and the throttle control/transmission light came on. I turned car off and on and then could drive a few more miles when it repeated the scenario above.i was able to drive it to dealership.it did that a total of 6 times on the way to dealership and eventually both the throttle control & the service engine soon light was on.dealership fixed my car, replacing the throttle body but charged me saying the problem was not under any warranty.
Intermittent electrical connectivity and issue with throttle.car has had problems since we received it in november 2010. Into walker ford clearwater 4 times recorded - 2 other times not.service department has replaced throttle body 11/12 and completed recall 13b17 (6/2014) but the same exact issues persist.service department stated at least 4 times that they cannot replicate the issue or find the issue.called customer service week of october 14, 2014 and was assigned [xxx](866-631-3788 - ext [xxx]) who we talked to at length and send a follow up email (october 16, 2014) . Called twice and not returned our calls. [xxx].said she would be back to us in a few days with a solution and have a service department prepared to fix the car.it has now been over 15 days since the original conversation.we are afraid to drive the car because,it has sudden reduction of engine power, revs into a high gear with no movement while traveling at 30-55 mph, and twice has died in the middle of intersection.same issues as described in nhtsa action number pe13003.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Intermittent problem which occurred at variable speeds (25 mph, 40 mph, 60 mph) with rapidly increasing frequency in the week before the throttle body was replaced. While driving, the engine seemed to shift out of gear. However, there was no increase in rpm in response to the accelerator. Pulled to side of road with very low rpm, the vehicle was turned off and then restarted each time without problem.
I was driving approximately 50 mph. The car began to slow down, and itjerked and hesitated and began to decelerate as it continued the jerking and hesitation. The carwould not respond to the accelerator at all. Continued to jerk and slow down and the engine and transmission were not functioning properly. I pulled in to a gas station and stopped the car.
Throttle body went bad.car unable to accelerate.was able toget car to dealer after shutting off and turning back on several times which resets affected parts.four other 2010 milans at the dealership for the same problem.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The vehicle was moved to the shoulder where it was shut down and restarted. The vehicle resumed normal function. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred one week later. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Driving down the highway through town and vehicle died multiple times in the middle of the street causing me to narrowly avoid an accident with my three small children in the car. Upon further inspection of the throttle body assembly, i discovered that the problem is a $20.00-$60.00 electric motor that ford uses to run the throttle body the throttle body is not strong enough to do the job for a very long period of time causing the throttle body to go out at around 50000 - 60000 miles. I was a mechanic for ford for 7 years before joining the army and have seen this issue with this exact model throttle body plenty of times. Ford could easily sell the replacement electric motor for the price listed above, but instead they prefer to price gouge their customers by forcing them to pay over $200.00 for the whole new throttle body assembly. Also according to our local ford parts dealer it is such a common part that needs replaced that the keep 3-4 on hand at all times.
I was traveling 70 mph when my car stalled out, the wrench light came on and i had to coast to safety.this happened again the next morning going approximately 10 mph.car was towed to dealership and it was diagnosed as the throttle body control.
While driving at 50-60 mph the car would start to slow and thentherewould be no throttle response, this happened 4 times in 40 miles, and luckily i was able to pullof theroadwithnoproblems.afterthe car sat for 5-10 minutes i was able to get it goingandthenabout 10miles laterit wouldhappen again.got itto a forddealer and found outit isa bad throttlebody.this partis on national back orderwithno ideawhenavailable.had torenta car to get homethatday at a costof $200.
I was trying to enter the freeway on the ramp when the car lost power. No throttle was present and the engine was slowly idling but very roughly.pulled over and turn ignition off. It started right up as if nothing was wrong. The problem occurs every 2 - 3 weeks but gets worse and harder to keep engine running properly after occurrence. Now check engine light comes on along with the wrench and the engine completely shuts off.the vehicle is now in the shop for $600 throttle body replacement.
I was rolling up to a red light. The traffic light turn green, i stepped on the gas pedal and there was no response i turned and coasted into a store parking lot. The engine kept on running at a very low rpm. It was idling.i just spent &300 on a new throttle body and motor assembly.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was shut off and restarted, and operated as designed. Later while the contact was completing a turn, the failure recurred and the wrench warning icon illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but the cause for the failure was undetermined. The mechanic stated that the failure could have been contributed to the gasoline being used in the vehicle. The failure later recurred and the vehicle was diagnosed as the electronic throttle body needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 107,000.
This has occurred several times now. I will be driving and the car will suddenly stall and decrease in speed. There have been several times that i have almost been hit by another car as well. I went to ford and they told me my throttle body needed to be replaced, so i did that. Approximatelya year later the same thing started to occur. I took it back and they said they did an update, however about two months later the same issue occured. I took it back to ford because i am under warranty and they kept my car for 4 days and said they could not find the issue.recently now only the battery and the oil canister comes on, but when it stalls out now it jerks really hard going forward then stalls out. It is very dangerous and i am afraid to drive my car. I called ford as well and they said there was nothing that they can do. It's sad to see other people are experiencing the same thing and they won't do anything i will never buy a ford again.
I was driving approximately 55 mph. Without warning the car felt as if had jumped out of gear, there was no throttle response. The car began to slow rapidly, a following vehicle had to avoid rear-ending me. The car jerking and hesitating was able to be gradually moved to a location where i could exit the road. The car would not respond to the accelerator at all. The orange wrench symbol appeared in my dash console. After thinking about it for a couple minutes, i turned the engine off, restarted, the problem had corrected itself. The prior day, while braking behind a car, foot on brake, neither foot near or on throttle, the car lurched forward with the throttle overpowering the brake for a second or two causing me to have to apply the brake more aggressively.i did not think about this too much, but after this occurrence this morning i wonder if the two events are related.i called the dealer, while he would not confirm the fact, it seems to be a recurring problem on this issue, a lot of people are complaining on the internet about the issue.i suppose the most telling point is that if the part most likely to be a problem, is indeed bad, and does not respond to just a cleaning, they cannot replace it because the part is on backorder. I asked if there was a recall, the dealer would not comment. The problem is most likely to occur again.it is a safety issue, and should be addressed in a recall before someone is killed, if it has not already happened.
Driving 65 mph on highway and car lost all power and yellow wrench light illuminated on dash.with car in limp mode pulled over to service lane. Car towed to local ford dealer.dealer replaced defective battery but found no codes stored in computer. Dealer test drove vehicle and reported no problem. Three days later same incident (loss of power and wrench light). Shut vehicle off and restarted it and engine had normal power l with wrench light extinguished.drove vehicle to local ford dealer and left it there for more diagnostics and repair.very dangerous condition and feeling for all engine power to be gone unexpectedly.
Intermittently, when vehicle is in motion, wrench light comes on and vehicle begins to decelerate.once vehicle is pulled over to safety, vehicle needs to be shut off.afterwards, the vehicle may be restarted and the wrench light disappears and the vehicle drives normally for a few more miles.then, the issue comes back again.to get anywhere from a to b, the vehicle will need to be pulled over to safety and shut off and restarted each time the wrench light comes on and the vehicle begins to decelerate.
I was in the middle of making a left turn, when my engine suddenly stalled. I lost all acceleration in the middle of my turn, while oncoming traffic was approaching. My check engine light came on with code p2112. I had to pull over, shut the car completely off, and it was fine for only a few more miles. The problem is ongoing and the vehicle is not safe to drive on a highway. Intermittently, at speeds of 30 mph and higher, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and showed signs of throttle body failure. The consumer stated all the symptoms he experienced, were consistent with the nhtsa action number pe13003. Also, the brake lights did not activate, when applied. Updated 11/05/13
Vehicle lost speed for no reason. The accelerator pedal had no response but the motor stayed at idle. Still had brakes, steering and other functions but no ability to accelerate. The vehicle did have a check engine light come on (wrench icon) at the dash.
I was merging onto a highwaygoing about 60 mph. My car suddenly went into an idle and the wrench icon came on in the indicator dash. Luckily, i was able to pull over to the shoulder and no vehicle was behind me. I turned off the car and was then able to accelerate. Later in the day, i was again driving on the highway at about 65 mph. When the same thing happened. I then went directly to a ford dealer. They immediately knew what the problem was and said ford had extended their warranty on this problem to 120,000 miles. This is ridiculous! i am sure someone will and probably have been fatally injured because of this issue.there needs to be a recall!!
Surging while driving on urban street, check engine light came on, mechanic said code 2111 shows. Code indicates malfunctioning throttle body.
Driving at highway speed limit with cruise on there was a loss of cruise control, no throttle response and the "wrench" light came on.i was able to pull off the highway.engine was running roughly, turned it off immediately.no cell phone service in the area so i could not get a tow truck.restarted the car. Operated fine to get home 10 miles.was taking it to the nearest dealer 30 miles from home when the same thing happened. I'm glad i did not have my children with me during these incidents. After viewing internet videos and reading on many internet sights this seems to be a problem with many mercury milans.ford needs to recall and fix the problem that causes this.
While at highway speed using cruise control on a slight upgrade, engine suddenly lost power and returned to idle and wrench warning light illuminated.after stopping, it was noted that engine was still running at idle but there was no throttle control.after ignition was shut off for a few minutes, vehicle was restarted and throttle control was found to be normal.dealer diagnosed likely problem as throttle body, which would be covered under drivetrain warranty but ford subsequently advised it was not covered.further, owner was advised part was on indefinite nation-wide back-order with no known availability date but that vehicle was drivable in the meantime with the risk that problem could recur with increasing frequency.
At dusk on saturday september14,2013 travelingnorth bound on 6 lane interstate i-55 in far left lane at 67 mph with cruise control on the car began to slow rpm returned to idling speed under 800 rpm and was unresponsive to accelerator pressure. The traffic was heavy and i was lucky to be able to move across lanes and reach the shoulder before car had slowed to 5 mph.the wrench light came on. Shut off the car restarted it and accelerator was responsive began to accelerate to merge back on to highway and again lost power. Shut off car again and acceleratingvery slowly was able to reach an exit about 1 mile away before car again lost power.called for a tow back home as vehicle was unsafe.car taken to dealership september 16th for repair and the throttle body needed to be replaced.i learned on line that this seems to be a common problem with certain ford and mercury products but there has been no recallto fix this defective part which puts the driver and passenger in grave danger when the throttle body malfunctions .luckily i was in a fairly populated area and cell phone service was available. I fear what could have happened if traffic had been even heavier or been in a more remote area. These products should be recalled as they present a serious safety issues for drivers.
I was on fl turnpike at 70 mph,traffic very heavy .i lost power and had to coast to the shoulder from left lane . Almost got ran over ,but thank god i didn't .i cut the motor off.restarted it .i got my speed up to 70mph .it surged a few times .ran ok too home . This could be a life or death thing . I wonder if anyone has been hurt because of this . I will call ford today and get it fixed .
I was driving with my infant in the car and it suddenly slowed to 20 mph in heavy traffic. Luckily i was able to get into a turn lane and then it died. I was very fortunate that the suv behind me did not hit me. He slammed on his brakes and laid on his horn. Very scary. The dealership says it is the throttle body, which is on national back-order and they do not know when it can be fixed. They have 5 others right now with the same issue.
The car lost all acceleration on the highway.i was driving 65 in the middle lane and had to get over to the shoulder with no way to accelerate. The wrench warning light appeared on the dash.turned the car off and restarted it and it worked fine for three days.took it to the dealership and it is the throttle body going bad.this costs $420.00 to replace.this is a terrible hazard as the only thing you can do is hope to coast to the shoulder of the road safely.
Throttle body failed without warning. Car immediately lost power and had no accelerator response and would only idle. This would have been dangerous had the vehicle not been in an area where it was immediately safe to pull over. Throttle body was changed, the second time it's happened to this vehicle.
Car looses all power engine shutters and sputters very dangerous! throttle body code came up with my mechanic took it to ford dealership they will not replace it i'm scared to drive it now . Has happened 6 times this past month ford told me a wheel speed sensor was at fault that has been fixed with no improvement of car basically shutting down ..limp mode for safety ??? ford ! you drive this car 70mph on the highway when limp mode igages pretty scary !! your going to kill people !
When i press the accelerator the car stalls out, or goes "limp".this has happened several times. When i turn the car off and restart it the car runs fine for a minute.took it to ford they said it was the throttle body part.
I was driving down the highway traveling at approximately 60mph when the car suddenly stalled and i was not able to accelerate. The wrench light came on at the same time as well. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. The car started to shake a lot as it slowed down. I turned the car off, and was able to start back up again. The very next morning while traveling a 50mph on a different highway the same thing happened again. I took it to the dealership to have a diagnostic run on the car as i had no idea why it was stopping. As i was about to turn into the dealership traveling at 25mph it stalled again. The result of the diagnostic test was there was a code stored in system of the electronic throttle body.it was giving a code for being stuck open when it should not have been. It was a failed component. After further internet research there is an open nhtsa investigation action number pe13003 (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13003&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true) for this exact issue. I would like my vehicle to be added to the investigation as this is a serious safety defect with my vehicle that could have caused me bodily harm or death. It needs to be addressed and the part recalled.

The contact merged to the shoulder and restarted the engine. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected where the vehicle was diagnosed with throttle body issues. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where the failure was unable to be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for repairs. The vehicle was taken not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
On 12 september i went to take off from a light and the car had no acceleration, and the wrench light came on in control panel...i was able to coast to the shoulder on other side of intersection and placed the car in park and turned it off.when i turned the car back on it started fine and the light was no longer on.it was about two weeks later on 27 september was driving to work on a 2-lane road going about 45 mph and the car lost all acceleration and the wrench light came back on.there was not much of a shoulder to pull off on but found a spot and placed car in park and turned it off.i smelled a slight burning smell so waitedlittle bit longer than last time and turned the car back on.it started up and the light was no longer on and it drove fine.i took to a mechanic on saturday morning and told me the diagnostic couldnot produce a code because the incident could not be replicated but believed it was the throttle body and needed a replacement.
While commuting to work the engine suddenly lost all power while traveling approx 50mph on rt 9a in ossining ny. Fortunately i was in thr right lane but did not have enough time or momentum to completely pull off the road. A state farm sponsored help truck arrived anf pushed me to the side. At my husband's suggestion he looked to see if leaves had clogged the intake/air filter. It did not . Then he disconnected the hose to the throttle valve and when he pushed it with the screwdriver the engine regained power. I turned around to try and meet my husband at a midway point. The engine shut down again but after restarting, it regained power. I switched cars with my husband and he sprayed the throttle valve with carburetor cleaner and headed home. The car stalled out on him but he was able to roll into a gas/convenience store in garrison ny and sprayed it again. Once home in cold spring he cleaned out the assembly as good as he could and the car worked well for the next 2 weeks. While visiting hungary for a family illness, my son used the car and reported that it began to stall out on him but unstuck? and he was able to return home. The car was brought to freedom ford in beacon ny this morning for repair since it is not safe to drive in nyc commuter traffic.
While driving on interstate at 70 miles per hour, the car jerked and the car immediately decelerated. The throttle warning light came on and we had to maneuver through multiple lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder.the car was idling very rough.parked the car and turned off the ignition.restarted the car and it ran fine for 2 days, when it occurred again, this time we were driving at 40 miles per hour.it has since occurred 5 more times, mostly at highway speeds, during rush hour.this has occurred both with the air conditioner running and when it was off.we have come very close to being rear-ended multiple times,we were not in safe situations and this is our only vehicle.i am unable to afford a rental car and the dealership will not provide us with a safe vehicle.
While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle appeared to stall and the wrench indicator showed on the dash. The vehicle had no power and idled very rough. After pulling off the road i shut the car off and restarted it, the indicator light was still on and i had no throttle. The only way i was able to get the vehicle to move was to clear the code using a code reader. This allowed me to get the vehicle safely home. I was able to drive it to the dealer however, since i cleared the code to make the vehicle operational they would not correct the issue because their diagnostic equipment didn't see anything wrong. Even with me providing them the code that was indicated (p2112) and offering to provide them the tsb that was issued and the nhtsa #.

A police report was filed but there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that there was no chance the vehicle could have surged. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure occurred again while the contact was driving in reverse; the failure resulted in another crash. Another police report was filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was again taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500. The current mileage was approximately 3,000.
While driving at a speed of 55 miles per hour on november 2, 2013, and at a speed of 50 miles per hour on november 4, 2013, my 2010 mercury milan abruptly stalled and i had to pull over instantly on both occasions in order to prevent being hit from behind. On these two occasions, the car had to be re-started. I brought the vehicle in for service as soon as possible on wednesday, november 6, to correct the problem, which was a defective throttle body that had to be replaced. The throttle body was no longer under the general warranty and not included in the power train warranty.

In order for the vehicle to stop, the brake pedal had to be depressed numerous times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I was driving down the high way at 55mph and the car started to slow down on its own and would not accelerate at all. I pulled the car over to a complete stop and the rpm gauge was bouncing up and down rapidly and the vehicle was violently shaking. Once i turn the car off i waited a few minutes and started it back up and everything was fine, no engine light, no shakes, nothing. I got back on the road and 15 minutes later it did the same thing. I barely made it back home due to the fact it was spitting and sputtering and causing traffic to slow down when it stalls and now i'm out of a vehicle due to the fact it cost soo much to fix. Code was p2111.

Power steering recall: ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 ford escape and mercury mariner vehicles manufactured august 18, 2006, through september 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input.i called ford motor company regarding my vehicle 2010 mercury milan premier because i had to have my power steering replaced on my vehicle. The dealership stated that i would have to call ford and inform them that my car should be listed in the recall. When i called i was transferred to customer relations.the woman was very rude and kept repeating the same thing over and over. I explained to her i understand the protocol i just want to make sure that information regarding the call will be submitted about my vehicle power steering was serviced on my milan and if there was anything further that i could do regarding my vehicle possibly being in the recall. Her tone of voice was very rude and she didn't seem to care about my concern. I am considering purchasing a honda vehicle. When my power steering went out it was four occurrences 3 times on the freeway and once leaving from work. Not only was mylife and danger but the other drivers and my family members who were in the vehicle with me. So to speak with someone who does not care about my concern is very upsetting and i do not want to drive anymore ford/mercury vehicles.
First brake light and tail light on drivers side light up once in awhile did not know was out till friend told me , cost to repair led light is $400 for part have not repaired yet, while driving at any speed car will shut down to limp mode ,dealer stated $550 to repair and replace throttle body , both are serious safety items that could result in being rear ended,out of warranty so ordering a throttle body and replace by ourselves for it stalls out continuously , recall should be ordered on both the tail light assemblies and the throttle body as both are a common problem on these vehicles.
Electronic throttle body stuck open and vehicle went into "limp mode". I was forced to coast to the side of the road, and shut off the vehicle. After a few seconds, i restarted the vehicle, and within five minutes, the same thing happened. I have had the car parked ever since because i feel that this is unsafe, as when this occurs, i have no ability to accelerate, i just have to hope that the cars behind me are paying attention.
My car stalled suddenly in moderate 35 mph traffic on 8/16/14.i was nearly rear ended while i had to restart my car as there was nowhere to pull over.on 8/17/14, my car stalled suddenly after traveling .5 mile from home (at approx. 20 mph), so i returned to my house.on 8/18 at 7 am, i spoke to sheehy ford in richmond, va, and was given an appointment for throttle body repair to occur on 8/19 under their "customer satisfaction program" 13b17.i was told that i was not in danger of getting stranded, so i had my husband follow me to work on 8/18.the car stalled again on 8/18 while traveling at 40 mph.rather than replace the faulty part which they did have in stock, ford merely recalibrated the powertrain since the check engine light was not lit when i dropped off the car for service, even though i notified them twice of the multiple incidents (via phone on 8/18 and in person on 8/19).i have filed a complaint with ford since the contaminated internal motor contacts of the throttle body remain in my vehicle.

First time this happened i was pull out into a 4 lane road and the car just shook and had no power. 2nd time i was going 70 on highway and the car lost all power. Almost had semi in rear end. 3rd time i was on side street at 4 way stop. Car lost all power after going. All times the wrench light came on then the engine light. Had 2 mechanics look at it and said bad throttle. This is an expensive part not cover any longer. Seen all complaints on it. Should be recalled dangerous.*ln
Throttle body defect --the problem began july 14 and happened several times.it was finally fixed by july 31.the vehicle began to lose power, mostly after stopping at an intersection and making a turn to the right or left.it happened once while driving straight and slowing down for a school zone.in most cases, i was able to coast to the side of the road, turn off the car, and restart.the wrench light came on in each incident.thankfully, i did not have to go onto a highway before i was able to get the car to the dealer for repair.after they figured out what was wrong, it took about 2 weeks to get the part.it was very frightening for the car to stop in the middle of an intersection, especially when turning left!this is a potentially very dangerous defect, and these cars should be recalled so that the company is responsible for the repair.most of my driving is done at village speed limits of 25 to 30 mph.even at those speeds, it is very frightening for the car to suddenly stop in the middle of an intersection.i am still very hesitant to take the car out on the highway.even after repair, it sometimes feels like it hesitates and might lose power.
Driving about 40-50mph in traffic, the car suddenly jerked, felt like a hard gear-shift. The green wrench light & orange engine light came on and the throttle was unresponsive. The car still had power but no acceleration, engine sputtered, had to pull off the road while coasting, car was idling very rough so was shutdown. I was able to restart it but the problem recurred four times the next two days. Stopped at advance auto parts since it was early evening, they pulled dtc p2111 "throttle actuator control system stuck open" from car's computer and he says the throttle value is sticking. Scheduled service at world ford dealership where car was purchased just four months prior. I was told the throttle body needed replacing "this is very common, we replace them all the time" he said. I purchased a powertrain extended warranty with the car that states it covers the "throttle valve" among its covered parts but the service man first says that's different than the "throttle body" (my understanding is the throttle valve is the plate inside the throttle body that opens/closes controlling airflow to the manifold, it that is "stuck open", it should be covered). He then says he doesn't even know what a "throttle value" is and says it will cost approx $350 to repair. They obviously know this is a problem and are taking advantage of their customers replacing the faulty parts.
While driving home from work on the highway at 65mph my car just stopped throttling and lost power dropping me to like 5mph the lil wrench light came on on the left then went off yet i still had no power. So i immediately turned on the hazzard lights and tried to make it to the side of the road through traffic and turned the car off after a few minutes i tried to start the car and it came on like normal to my surprise so i started to drive only to have it happen again and again before making it home. I literally just purchased the car 2 months prior and its been at the dealership, as they try to talk to ford about the problem and how to get it corrected for the past month!
I was driving down a main street heading directly into the free way interstate. Once i approached the interstate i was caught the light.... I then began to take off once it turned green. I reach about 20mph and my car jerked and the wrench icon came on. I then noticed i had no power and no where to go because my car never got a good speed... I almost got hit twice and held up traffic... How embracing seeing that i have a perfectly nice car.once i got it home( which took 3hrs driving at 10mph and cutting off) i took the car to my auto shop and informed me on a recall for this problem.... But guess what? the dealership said not for me car....if their is a recall on this part.. What makes my car different.? so i ended up paying $300 bucks in repairs, losing $200 work day.... Total loss....$500 on a part that is on recall... This is bull...
Engine goes limp. Throttle body control light comes on. Ford has replaced the throttle body control twice and the problem keeps coming back. Ford will not consider any other problems and keeps wanting to replace the throttle body control. Most often happens when in reverse going up a hill. If i place the car in park and turn off the engine, then re-start, the engine is no longer limp. Thisproblem has occurred over 6 months, multiple(>20) times.

I've experienced several instances of my vehicle stalling while in motion at various speeds (30-65 mph). At the dealership it was determined that the problem is with the throttle & the part is on back order. It is my only means of transportation & cannot get it repaired. Despite the low mileage, i am being told that this is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This issue is not due to wear & tear but to a manufacturer's mechanical failure. Why is the consumer responsible for the repairs to a preexisting problem in these cars?
Vehicle stalls out at random times.goes into limp home mode.seems to be a common problem with throttle body.would be nice if ford fixed this and got parts out.
While driving my 2010 milan at the speed of 55 mph, the car shook slightly and the wrench light appeared.the car began to lose power - i was able to steer with no problem.i could not accelerate.i shut the car off - and started it again.the first time it started with no problem.within driving 4 more miles, the same thing happened again.this time i was driving 25 mph.it happened seven more times before the check engine light came on.each time when i tried to start my car, it kept turning over before it would start.i waited for an hour on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck.when the tow arrived, the car started just fine - the check engine light was still on.this is extremely dangerous!i was driving in rush hour traffic and was almost rear ended on the highway.again when it occurred in town, there was no where for me to coast off to the side of the road, i had to stop in traffic to restart me car.
Electronic throttle body failed as i was driving on the interstate.car lost all throttle control, idled down to 1000 rpm, and rapidly decelerated in heavy interstate traffic.had to pull over immediately.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled sporadically. The check engine light illuminated after the failure occurred.

The failure and current mileage was 104,000.
I had stopped at lights and after accelerating up to apprx 45mph the car become unresponsive when pushing on gas.my first thought was my transmission had went out.i coast over to the shoulder and then the car begin to vibrate and run rough so i shut car down.the "wrench " light came on. I had car towed in and after 3 days and the dealership talking to ford it was decided it was going into the "limp" mode.the fix was a new throttle body.the throttle body part was backed ordered. Per the dealership there was a change on the throttle bodt part due to issues and was back ordered.parts took about 2 weeks to get and car was repaired and i have been driving for 2 weeks with no issue. I do understand that the car has 80000 miles on it but i seen on the internet where the circuit board and this throttle body had been a on going complaint.
Driving down highway car went into limp mode. Had to pull over restart car. Was good for a while now its doing it 2-3 times just driving a couple miles. If car is left idling sometimes it just dies on its own. Trouble code p2111 comes up. Wanted to change the throttle body but they are on national back order.
Was driving approximately 35 mph. The car began to slow down, and it jerked and hesitated and began to decelerate as it continued the jerking and hesitation. The car would not respond to the accelerator at all. Continued to jerk and slow down and the engine and transmission were not functioning properly.this has now occurred 3 different times in the last two weeks - twice at speeds around 35-40 mph and once at 65 mph. Took it to ford dealership.they say that it is definitely related to the throttle body.waiting to get a new throttle body from ford; but there are none to be had across the whole country.
Driving on the interstate at about 70 mph, the engine lost power and would not accelerate. The wrench light came on. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, although there were a couple close calls since it was rush hour. Theengine stuttered some but did not die, even though i could not accelerate or go faster than 3mph or so. I turned the car off, waited about 20 seconds, then turned it back on. When turning it back on, it took longer than usual to turn over, but started, and the wrench light did not come back on. I continued my drive home like normal and there were no problems. I went out the same evening on a 15 minute drive, and the same incident happened twice. Once when stopped at a stoplight, once going 30mph. After i made it to my destination, and tried going home about 1.5 hours later, on the same 15 minute drive, i had no problems. I'm told its throttle body issue, which is very common in 2010 mercury milans. It is very dangerous to lose power, especially when it seems to happen at random times. I hope there is a recall soon so i can get my money back on repairs since this is obviously a defect.
I would like to know why nobody has done anything about this throttle body problem. If you look online and you will see how many complaints there are about the same problem. I would like this to be on the recall list so all of the ones that own this car will not have to pay anywhere from 300-500 to get it fixed. This is a safety problem i was driving on i295 going about 6mph and i lost all throttle control , i'm in the far left lane and had no where to go so i'm coasting to the right shoulder and all most got hit 4 times. I would say this is a really important safety problem. I read about 35 of the same problems online and i haven't seen anyone from your company or ford comment on this are they waiting for someone to get killed before anything gets done to fix this. I will be calling monday morning to see what you or ford will do about this problem if nothin is done i will contact a lawyer and the news media. We were almost killed and something needs to get done at fords cost not the people who thought they had a safe car.
Car suddenly stalled in intersection with cross lane traffic and on mass transit trolley track. Move to other side of intersection and restarted fine, then stalled again on highway multiple times.pulled vehicle over each time and it restarted, yet stalled again after a short amount of time. Check engine light was on steady (non-blinking). Had vehicle towed to ford dealership would indicated the throttle body was bad and must be replaced.

While driving at approximately 45 mph, i lost throttle response, the engine assumed idle rpms.fortunately there was a place i could pull over and call for a roll back to take the car to the ford dealer.the throttle body assembly was the culprit and was subsequently replaced.
While driving at approximately 58 mph on 7/20/13 the wrench light came on, the car lost power. The car was still running but there was no reaction in power when pushing on gas pedal. Pulled the car over, put in park, it was still running, with a slight shake, turned car off waited several minutes before starting.when started the car ran fine and the light was off. Two days later, 7/22/13, this happened again while i was making a turn from a stop sign. Same thing pulled over, restarted, light was off, drove fine. Few days later, 7/25/13, car went in for oil change and tire rotation and i had them see what they could find out. Up until this point the car has ran fine, no issues, and i love the car. I was informed that it was a throttle body issue and is on back order for one-two months. I then drive the car with no issues for several days. Once again on 7/30/13 the same thing happens this time at about 35 mph, is fine once started back up. Same thing on 8/1/13. On 8/4/13 i was on my way home going approximately 55 mph and this happens, i was able to get off to the side of the road quick enough that it didn't interfere with the traffic behind me. I got down the road and was trying to turn onto my road and this happens again and i am now in middle of lane for oncoming traffic, i manage to get it going and finish turn just for it to happen again and i was almost rear ended by person turning onto road. I then let the car sit for several hours before i had to run an errand, i was only able to make it three houses down before this happened again. This is an extreme safety issue, i am luck in that i live in a rural area, but there is enough traffic or when going to work, that this could cause a bad accident causing injury not only to myself or another driver but to the children in my car.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power and a wrench symbol illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Engine intermittently fails to accelerate when depressing accelerator, threw engine code p2111.this problem appears to be temporarily corrected by turning car off, then back on.this incident has occurred at both high speeds & around town driving. Also noted that the days of occurrence, the outside temperature was over 90 degrees.
While driving on the highway, my car stopped accelerating and the rpms did not budge even when i stepped on the gas. A few seconds later the front end of my car (which i am assuming was the engine) began sputtering. A service light also appeared which is the one that is shaped like a double-sided wrench. I pulled off of the road and turned off the engine. I turned the engine back on a few minutes later and it started without any problems. I took my car into a ford dealership an hour after and they could not find anything wrong. They plugged in the computer and it did not detect any issues. I asked them to pop the hood to see if they could notice any obvious discrepancies but they refused to. They stated that they could not do anything for me because the problem was not currently happening.
Driving in city traffic when the car began to stall. Almost rear ended by the car behind me.wrench light came on and the car stopped.i turned it off and then back on and was able to creep to a shoulder when it stalled out again.$500 repair and $55 tow.my mechanic told me the ford motor co. Was well aware of the problem and that it has been happening when the mileage gets around 50,000 miles.this is inexcusable.i'm going to sue them in magistrates court on monday.
Driving car started to shake acted like it wanted to die check engine light came one and little wrench lightthis happened out of the blue no warning or anything one second car running fine the next will not accelerate?
Driving on expressway at 65 mph, and vehicle lost power, coasted to side of road.engine was vibrating/shaking a lot.the wrench symbol was lit.i shut the vehicle off.waited just a short time, about 30 seconds and started and it seemed okay.i continued home, about 10 miles without another problem.it also happened another time, just driving about 10 mph, when i pulled out of my driveway.i believe the engine quit, i was able to restart it, and back into my driveway.i remember seeing the wrench light and the battery light.again, there was a lot of shaking of the engine.
While traveling at a speed of 70mph an heading south on i69 in my 2010 mercury milan 2.5l premier, my vehicle jerked and started shaking with my rpm's jumping from 800 to 1100.the check engine light turned on and so did the wrench light.i turned on my hazards and made my way to the side of the road.i shut off the vehicle and restarted it and the warning lights turned off.i started on the road again and at about 45 mph it did the same thing.i got off at the next exit and went to autozone to get the code pulled.it was code p2111, throttle circuit in the open position.i did a google search and found out this is an extremely dangerous and common problem with this vehicle and the mercury mariner, ford focus, and ford escape with the same engine.i called the dealership and they literally laughed at me and informed me that the throttle body is on national back order and there are currently 7,000 of these orders awaiting to be filled.the dealership also informed me that the manufacturer of the throttle body and ford are currently trying to give an updated part number which means that they are making a new part to fix this problem.this leaves me with a three year old car completely useless sitting in my driveway.this should be a recall as any car that just shuts off while you are on the freeway is extremely dangerous if you do not know what to do in that situation.
On june 1 the vehicle got stuck at 4 rpm's while driving on a highway and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle did not respond.a week later the vehicle again did not accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed while attempting to enter a highway. The vehicle sputtered and stalled out. Vehicle was turned off and back on with no other problems.on june 18 the vehicle sputtered & stalled leaving a parking lot.the vehicle was turned off and restarted 4 times, but this time the vehicle would not respond when accelerator was pressed.each time accelerator was pressed it sputtered and died. Vehicle was towed from the scene and problem was diagnosed as a throttle body failure.

I was driving my mercury milan when it starting surging and then lost all power.since that date it has happened to me at least 50 more times, some worse then others.thisis very dangerous as it has happened as i have entered intersections, putting my life in danger of being hit !!i have taken it to the dealer but they said it is no longer under warranty so it would cost over $600 which i do not have.this is making me sick as now i am afraid to drive my car even though i have to in order to get back and forth from work!!

I have a 2010 mercury milan this car has been in the shop many times the transmission was slipping it has left me in the middle of an intersection and the last straw was 3 weeks ago when the transmission kicked in when i was turning it popped my neck and i hit a curb. I do not feel safe in the car. One time the gas pedal stuck and i had to reach down and pull out my floor mat. Also trim parts just fall off of this thing.
I was driving on the northway preparing to get in the right lane to exit and i lost all speed, no acceleration was possible but i still had radio/a/c, etc. I was able to get over and stop the car and when i put it in park it "sputtered" until i shut the engine off entirely. I waited a few moments and turned the engine back on and it started fine and then drove fine the rest of my drive. When i got back to work i researched this problem online and was surprised at the number of complaints for the same issue. Everyone had taken their car to a dealership or mechanic and could not figure it out. No warning lights came on in the dash. Finally after reading so many of the same complaints one car owner stated that a diagnosis resulted in code p2111 (faulty throttle body). I'm concerned about driving this car and having it happen again. I drive on a fast 3 lane highway about 20 miles each way to work and it's not always very easy to get over to safety. After seeing this has been investigated in another state i am hopeful it results in a recall so this problem can be properly addressed and fixed. Please help!
It's been pulling hard and jerking the car lot was supposed to fix it and never has i don't know what to do and it always smells like it's overheating
On august 30th, 2013, the vehicle engine would not run over 2000 rpm during a drive at 40 mph no matter how hard push the gas paddle. After pushed the brake, slowed down and stopped the vehicle, engine still would not run over 2000 rpm. Then i put the shift in parking, turn off engine (using key), restart it, the engine had choke sound and would not run over 1500 rpm. After that a gentle man helped me to park my car in his driveway. I called the dealership and had the tow truck towed the vehicle. When the incident happened, it had me, my wife and 2 children in the car, and happened when i drove the vehicle across the railroad cross. After 4 days including weekends, the dealership target the problem is the throttle body assembly.
Went approximately 1 mile after starting the car. Suddenly it started bucking and jerking and slowed dramatically. No one was behind me, or it could have caused a hazardous situation. Turned off of road. Turned the car off and restarted it. It ran normally and drove about another mile, then the bucking and jerking happened again. Took car to an area and parked it. Took car in for repair and told that the throttle body needed to be replaced.
I was pulling away from a stop sign when the car engine seemed to stall out.it was surging a bit, but would not accelerate.i was able to pull over to the curb, but could continue to feel the engine surge as i was stopping.i turned off the car and the problem seemed to resolve.i was able to drive home normally after turning off and restarting the car.
Driving at 45mph on road, maintaining constant speed, car goes into limp mode, no throttle control. Wrench light comes on. Pulled over to side of the road, put car into park and waited a few seconds, car re-ignited and was able to get home. This happened again 2 times the next day in route to the grocery store which is less than 4 miles away. It has consistently been happening nearly every time i drive it. I have stalled out at 2 intersections which is very dangerous. I just had the car diagnosed with electronic throttle body failure. 136.00 later, and i have ordered the new part, but was told it could take 2-3 weeks before they are available and that if i saved my receipt i will be reimbursed by ford/mercury at recall. I am afraid to drive the car at this point because there is no telling when it will just stall again. Really need my car to get to work!
While driving down the highway experienced a total loss of acceleration. Car still maintained an idle but no matter how many times i pressed the pedal to the floor it would not recognize me doing so. (kind of like and older vehicle with a cable just breaking). Fortunately it did not effect steering or braking but it was quite challenging to get to the side of the road. If i shut of vehicle and restarted gas pedal works fine again. I immediately contacted a master ford tech that i know personally and he informed me that more than likely it was the electronic throttle body that there has been many complaints and replacements done on that particular engine recently in their shop. Due to the lack of funds i continued driving the vehicle and have experienced the same problem a minimum of 8 times in 3 weeks. I no longer will allow my wife to drive car until i can repair.
Was driving vehicle on expressway about 60 mph in fast lane, lost all acceleration.i was still trying to accelerate and the speed was dropping and i had to cross three lanes of traffic to get to the side of the road.the wrench light was on and i turned the car off.i decided to try to move a little father up to a wider shoulder so i started the car again and the wrench light was out and it seem to run ok.i was very blessed that i moved to the side without being hit by all the big trucks and cars around me.the dealer tells me it is the throttle and i do not have extended warranty and my warranty has run out.i am very concerned as i see there are other complaints of this nature with this car.i could have been run over by a truck or caused a lot of cars to crash and kill a lot of people when this happened.i transport grandchildren four days a week in this car and i am very concerned that this has not been recalled and fixed.my last mercury i had 13 years and never had such a scare. What will it take for ford to do something about this?a rear end collision with a fire to kill a lot of people on the expressway?
While traveling at 35 mph car would not accelerate.had to shut car off and restart ran ok until stopped at intersection then car keep dying.would always restart ok but at times would have to put car in netrural and rev engine to keep from stalling.have researched on inter net and seems to be same problem with throttle body.i have taken the body off and cleaned it but problem still occurs.
6/26/2013 - driving on heavily traveled road with congestion.car started lurching and felt like it was starving for fuel.wrench symbol lit on dashboard.vehicle continued to move but at a drastically reduced rate.able to pull over with near misses with accident.stopped and restarted car, all indicators were cleared and was able to get home.6/27/2013 - symptoms happened again.
Was driving on highway and suddenly the car lost power and the wrench icon showed on the dashboard.it was like taking one's foot off the gas peddle.had to get car towed.the fault was the throttle part #ds7z9e926dthere were 2 other cars at the ford dealer waiting for the same backordered part to arrive.i never saw 3 cars at a dealer with the same problem at the same time.the part being backordered in a leading indicator the quantity of the part being replaced is running high.
Vehicle randomly sputters then the throttle completely stops working (dangerous condition at speed) and i have to coast to the side of the road while it is constantly sputtering and then have to put it in park, turn off the ignition and then turn it back on which appears to reset it.took it to dealership over a month ago and they are still waiting for the part (on back order).called ford and they finally filed a case number, but still could not give me a date for when the part will be available.fyi yesterday it happened about 7 times going to work and another 6 on the way home.
I was in cincinnati that weekend (3 hours away from home) and as i was pulling into the parking lot of a store, the car jerked very hard and then the wrench showed up on the dash and i lost all power.i was able to coast into a parking space.i then shut off the car and waited a bit and restarted it.the wrench came off the dash and the car was working properly again.we then went about our day and as we were heading back to my nephews football game, we were driving down 4 lanes of traffic and i had just passed a slower moving vehicle when the car jerked abruptly again and i lost all power.i put my turn signal on and was able to turn off a side road.the wrench came on again.it happen the next day as we were attempting to drive back home.we tried to drive the car back home in manual and it worked just fine.i got our car into our local car dealership and they said that it was the throttle body that needed replaced.so after forking out $375, it hasn't done anything since.the reason i'm filing this complaint is that if the throttle body would've acted up while we were traveling through the hilly roads in cincinnati, we would've been in a severe car accident.this problem is a huge concern as you lose all control of the car.you have no gas and the rpm's just quiver on the dash.if i hadn't been able to pull off of the side of the road, we would've been hurt due to a car crash.this concern needs to be sent to ford/mercury as this seems to be a huge problem once i researched it.we were fortunate that this didn't happen while we were traveling 70 mph on i-75 in ohio on our way back.the problem with the throttle body needs to be issued as a recall.it is going to get someone in a very bad accident or killed. *ln
The car suddenly jolted to a halt in an intersection and would not continue to move. Ford dealer stated it was a throttle body failure.
I was driving on 495 toward silver spring/georgia ave. And the call just loss acceleration without warning.the engine and wrench lights illuminated on the dash.the car cruisedat about 5 miles an hour.an extremely dangerous situation to say the least.i was in the middle lane and had to work my way over to the shoulder.i'm taking the car to the ford dealership on 8/23/2016 for diagnosis.there appears to have been complaints reported to nhtsa about this problem and the case was closed without a recall.let me tell you, this problem is not only real but extremely dangerous.something more needs to be done.
2010 mercury milan.consumer writes in regards to sudden deceleration while stepping on gas pedal.the consumer stated even though he was stepping on the gas pedal, the vehicle was shaking and lurching.the vehicle would not move any faster.the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where they replaced the throttle body and reprogrammed the pcm.
I was first in line at a red light on a 2-lane highway.when the light turned green, i accelerated and halfway through the intersection the car "lurched" and lost power.the car didn't die but there was no response in the gas pedal and a wrench symbol appeared in the dash.i made it through the intersection and to the shoulder at idle speed (with a line of cars behind me). I put the car in park and turned it off for a minute.it restarted ok, the wrench was gone and the car ran fine.i considered it a fluke until a week later when the same thing happened, except that i was traveling at 70 mph in the inside lane of the same highway. Luckily there was room to change lanes while decelerating and i pulled to the shoulder.again, it restarted fine after i turned it off, and the wrench was gone.i took the car for service at a ford dealer because losing power in traffic is a very dangerous situation and who knows when and where it might happen again.the tech found a problem with the throttle body and replaced it at a cost of about $350 parts/labor.of course, we are just outside of the warranty period at 41,000 miles.
Driving down the highway at 65 mph and i felt a slight jerk in the vehicle (similar to shifting) and the yellow wrench dashboard light came on, when i pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened.the car was still running but the accelerator did nothing.i pulled the car over, put it in park, turned it off, then back on and it was fine.after driving for another hour, the same thing happened.this is dangerous!! not having an accelerator on a 70 mph highway is not safe!after researching on the internet the same problem has happened to many milan owners.it's in the shop right now and they can't figure out what's wrong.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that while proceeding out of the parking lot, the transmission warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after she drove 2 miles, she depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle hesitated. The dealer was not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

After only 24,600 miles, the sun roof worked one day and the next day when the button was activated the sunroof began to lower the rear of the window but wounld open no further. Upon multiple tries, the raising and lowering of the rear part of the window is all it would do.when taken ot blloomington lincoln, (mn) they informed me that the motor and entire track system would need replacing.they took pictures to send to ford to see if they would honor the warranty. Gee. The vehicle is still under the 3 yr, 36000 limit.should have been a no brainer.
The taillights never changed illumination, when the headlights where on. When the headlights were not on they illuminated according to brake petal pressing. Was driving at night with headlights on nd was rear ended due to the other driver knowing i was stopping. The other driver was hurt along with her passenger. Next morning to vehicle in to dealership was told it needed a headlight control switch and an rear tail light assemblies. Not bulbs but assembled as these are led. 435$ for each taillight and 50 for control switch.
Vehicle has 45,874 miles on it today. Sunroof is not working so i had local ford dealer check out the problem. Service tech reports "found chunks of brackets laying in the track assembly. Rec replacing sunroof track. Track is not secured properly with the glass due to the damage in the track assembly. May not be safe to drive. There is also the possibility of track leaking water."the problem occurred during normal operation and if there is a safety concern as the ford technician stated, then i feel ford should cover the cost of the repair. This should not happen, especially on a vehicle with such low mileage. The ford service advisor quoted a repair cost of $2020.00 and even he said the cost is outrageous.
The lug nuts came apart after about 50,000 miles. All 20 lug nuts on my vehicle came apart. The outer, chrome covers separated from the nut. This degradation of the metal affects the integrity of the nut and could cause a serious accident or injury if the nut(s) worked their way off of the wheel(s). I first noticed the condition when the vehicle was parked in my driveway and i was attempting to remove the wheels.
Well for starters its throwing a code saying that i have a small fuel leak some where and the 2 is one day i had a flat and after i changed the tire the power steering went out and not only that but the car has a heavy vibration in it and while driving it want to take off either left or right which ended up with me running off the road twice already
Driving down hwy at normal speed and the front passenger tire flew off. 3 of the wheel studs are missing now and i have no clue where the tirer rolled to. My car slide in some bushes. No real damage that i saw (incidenthappened at night).
Beginning in august, 2012 at approx. 45,000 miles i have had 5 wheel bearings fail to date (90,000 miles)all serviced and replaced at ford agencies.

The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v574000 (wheels). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000.
I just noticed that i now have a missing wheel stud and lug nut on both of my front wheels. This car does have the 17" steel wheels. There was a recall for studs breaking back in 2011, 11s23, and according to ford customer service, the studs were inspected and lugs nuts were replaced before i purchased this vehicle in june of 2011. The car currently has 86,805 miles on it. The last tire rotation was just about a year ago at 75,114 miles and was done at the ford dealership. At that point i paid to have one of the front wheel studs replace because they said it was stripped out.
The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact noticed that the lug nuts were fractured and detached from the front wheels. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to hines park ford (56558 pontiac trail, new hudson, mi 48165), but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

No incident to report. . .yet.this complaint is re safety recall notice 11s23 (nhtsa campaign id number 11v574000.)as noted in the "remedy" section, ford notified me of the recall; on february 6th, the dealer (brandon ford in florida) inspected the vehicle and determined that replacement was necessary.brandon ford did not have the necessary parts in stock; i was told they would call when they arrived.on march 15th, still with a defective vehicle, i contacted brandon ford again and explained that i had to drive the vehicle back to michigan on april 13th.today (3/16), i was told that they still do not have the parts and don't know when they'll get them.[xxx] at brandon ford told me that i (not them, not ford) could try other dealers or call the ford customer service # (i guess i have to.)two months should be more than enough time to fix their problem.so although a "remedy" has been outlined in the nhtsa database, there appears to be no concern by ford to actually implement and no follow-up by nhtsa to verify that ford fixes the problem.i'm afraid to drive the car from florida to michigan.it needs to be fixed (without me having to call all over florida looking for a part to replace their defective part) or they need to give me a loaner car.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
