2006 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR AND I WAS ABOUT TO GET OUT AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE SO NOW I HAVE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THE HANDLES ON THE REAR DOOR ARE STARTING TO BREAK ALSO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN MY CAR BEGIN TO A LOSE SPEED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A LITTLE WRENCH SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND I HAD IT REPLACED AND NO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH ARE BACK ON AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD HAS A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY THAT THEY USE IN THE FORD FUSION AND THE MILAN AND FUSION ARE BASICALLY THE SAME CAR AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT ANOTHER 300.00 FOR A PART THAT'S NO GOOD THEY SHOULD REALLY DO A RECALL ON THE MILAN THROTTLE BODY AS WELL. *TR

RADIO LIGHT WENT OUT AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. *TR

THE DRIVES INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE, IT WILL NO LONGER OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING, ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN, STICK MY HAND OUT THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR,FROM THE OUTSIDE THEN KEEP THE DOOR OPEN BEFORE I CAN REMOVE THE KEY. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, CAR IS BUCKING AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SLIPS TO A REDUCED SPEED. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT ON AND OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE SPEED WILL INCREASE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DURING RUSH HOUR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR.A TOOL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND DROPPED TO 5MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. A CAR NEARLY HIT ME FROM BEHIND. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SHAKING. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER THAT RAN THE TRANSMISSION AND 3 COILS. NOW AT 77,000 IT AGAIN IS HAVING SLIPPING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE FROM 40-50MPH THERE IS A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND YOU LOSE ACCELERATION. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRY REPEATEDLY AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE DUE TO THE SLIPPING PROBLEM. IT TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO HAD THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY PUT ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED EITHER HAVING TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND ALSO OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE HIGHWAY - NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE!!!!! I'M WORRIED ABOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR GETTING KILLED. *TR

WE WERE GOING UP A HILL ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I'M TOLD IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING OF A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE DOOR APART AND DISCOVERED THAT THE MOTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 169,119. *TR

PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND MY KEY REFUSED TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK/DRIVE TO SEE IF THE IGNITION WILL UNLOCK, BUT IT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT IT IS IN PARK (STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK, I ALSO CAN'T TURN THE KEY BACKWARDS AND PUT INTO AUXILIARY MODE. IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD THING IF I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE STUPID DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BUSTED TOO WHICH IS A SECURITY ISSUE ALONG WITH A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T A CONSUMER RELY ON A CAR MANUFACTURE TO ISSUE PARTS THAT DON'T BREAK OR MALFUNCTION... I SEE ONLINE THAT LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE... AS THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE? MAYBE ITS TIME TO BUY A CHEVY. *TR
