2010 Mercury Milan Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE ADVANCED 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.

TL* 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. *TT

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY. WET ROAD THE CAR WOULD SLIDE ON CURVE ROADS IN 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.

"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.

TAKATA INFLATORS - WE RECEIVED A NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO THAT REPLACEMENT WOULD BE IN SPRING 2017. WAITED AND CALLED SEVERAL TIMES - NOW A SECOND LETTER IT IS SPRING 2018. THE DESIRED OPTION IS FOR PASSENGERS IN FRONT SEAT NEEDING TO SIT IN BACK SEAT - DIDN'T SPEND ALL THIS MONEY, WAIT THIS LONG ONLY TO WAIT SO MORE - WHAT ARE OPTIONS TO GET THIS DONE SOONER SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS.

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!

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.

My head lights are NOT sufficient. It does not have the option for 2 bulbs. I have changed out the bulbs 3 times while owning this vehicle and from the first night I drove it after owning it, I noticed the lights where very off. I drive around town and on dark roads where there is NO Road LIGHTS at night with my head lights on Bright and I DO NOT get brighted back. I have hit an animal due to the lights not being bright. I fear driving the car at night or where it's to dark because the light assembly is not proper. No warning lights.

AS I WAS DRIVING, CHIME SOUNDED AND SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND DID A QUICK CHECK UNDER HOOD AND UNDER VEHICLE. WHEN I FOUND NOTHING I RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO RE-ENTER ROADWAY, CHIME ONCE AGAIN SOUNDED AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOW MESSAGES AND LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BUT NOW ALL POWER ASSIST TO STEERING WAS LOST MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

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.

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.

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.

AT 71,000 MILES VEHICLE DEVELOPED FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THIS LEAD TO CAR ENTERING "LIMP HOME" MODE. OCCURRED IN BUSY TRAFFIC EXPOSING PASSENGERS TO POTENTIAL RISK - NO INJURY OCCURRED.

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
