2010 Mercury Milan Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle body and the throttle body injectors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

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.

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.

The vehicle just slowed to a stop. I just nursed it to a repair shop!

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), WHICH SHE RECEIVED.

TL* 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.

I M DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH 70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE SPEED REDUCES AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, WRENCH ICON SHOWS UP.

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.

TL* 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.

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.

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

THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT GOES ON INDICATING A SUPPOSED ENGINE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ENGINE PERFORMS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THIS SPORADIC FAILURE OCCURS. IT HAS REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND THE TROUBLE CODE THAT HAS BEEN LOGGED IS P2112, WHICH RELATES TO A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERING SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND MODELS (INCLUDING 2010 MERCURY MILANS) WITH THIS STYLE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE WARRANTY REPORTEDLY COVERS THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT UP TO TEN YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR USES THE SAME THROTTLE THROTTLE BODY AS OTHER AFFECTED MILANS, MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THOUGH IT SHOULD BE. NOW IT SEEMS THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET FORD TO COVER THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM ON OTHER, VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL, VEHICLES. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER. ALTHOUGH I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE REDUCED ITS SPEED DRASTICALLY AND COULD NOT EXCEED ABOUT 10 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A PARKING LOT AT VERY LOW SPEED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS RESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS REAPPEARED. THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, I WAS A FEW BLOCKS FROM A FORD DEALER. I VERY CAREFULLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY SLOW UNRESPONSIVE SPEED TO THE DEALER.THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT FORD INFORMS ME IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THEIR CUST. SATISFACTION #13N03 EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS, SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, SAME DIAGNOSTIC CODE, SAME FAILURE AND SAME PART FIX AS THE VIN'S THAT ARE COVERED IN THIS PROGRAM. FORD CANNOT TELL ME (OR SHOULD I SAY 'WILL' NOT TELL ME) WHY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR 'SATISFACTION' PROGRAM. THIS WAS A $400 REPAIR.
