2011 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING FOR POWER ADVANCE FLASHED ON THE CAR. IT GOT HARD TO STEER SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AT 99,000 MILES. THEY SAID THAT A NEW STEERING GEAR IS NEEDED AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THE COST WOULD BE AROUND 1500.00 THEY TOLD ME. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STEERING IN JUNE OF 2015 IVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH OF 2015, MY CAR WASNT UNDER RECALL WHICH IT NEEDS TO BE CAUSE THERE ARE OTHER MILANS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 15S18.

FUEL TANK AND PURGE VALVE RECALL. VEHICLE IN MOTION. LEAVING A STOP SIGN FROM A COUNTRY HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING. DIFFICULT TO RESTART.

I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO WARNING. THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT, SO I TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER SHIP. AT 77,000 MILES, THE WARNING FOR POWER ADVANCE FLASHED ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT I NEED A NEW STEERING GEAR IS NEEDED AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $1767.00. THIS NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL, SINCE THIS IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER MERCURY OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PSCM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ALL THE TIME WHILE VEHICLE IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING, INSTEAD OF ONLY TURNING ON WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED DOWN. IN NOVEMBER I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BEGIN TO FLICKER WHILE PARKED. SINCE IT IS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE LED LIGHTS, THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, A ROUGHLY $410 REPAIR. FOR AS OFTEN AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER 2011 MERCURY MILAN OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, YOU WOULD THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALREADY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYING ON IS DISTRACTING AND VERY BRIGHT TO OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND ME.

THIS MADE THE STEERING BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN. BECAUSE OF THIS MY WIFE WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK. THANK GOD THE DRIVER OF TRUCK WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING MY WIFES VEHICLE. MY WIFE IS 120. LBS THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN STEER THIS VEHICLE IN MANUAL MODE. THE NICE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK HELPED MY WIFE BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE INTO PARKING LOT AND PARKING IT. SHE WAS SHOOK UP BUT NOT INJURED. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2011 MILANS BUT MY WIFES CAR IS NOT IN THIS RECALL. I DONT UNDERSTAND IF A PART IS BAD WHY ARE SOME COVED FOR THE PROBLEM AND NOT OTHERS. I HAVE APPOINTMENT TOMORROW MORNING AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD WILL COST ME $400 -$500 TO FIX.

BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN OUT, AND WENT IN FOR REPLACEMENT BULBS AFTER WAITING IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR 7 HOURS I WAS TOLD THAT THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND IT WOULD BE WELL OVER 1,000 TO FIX. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY SAY COVERS NOTHING!!!! (CURRENTLY HAVE A BROKEN D RIVERSIDE DOOR HANDLE). I PURCHASED THE CAR USED LAST MAY, WITHIN 3 WEEKS I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHICH WERE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, THEN THE DOOR HANDLE, NOW BRAKE LIGHTS. I FEEL THESE LIGHTS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL BECUZ WHO HAS OVER 1,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE LED BRAKE LIGHTS??? I'M VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED....ALSO BROKE AND CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR......PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
