2006 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CD PLAYER BROKE AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO USES THE CAR. THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON AND A FAULTY THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED....ALL TO THE TUNE OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I PURCHASED THE EXTRA PROTECTION INSURANCE BUT OF COURSE NONE OF THIS WAS COVERED. NEVER WOULD BUY A MERCURY AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE. SHE COULD UNLOCK THE DOOR BUT SHE HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. IN SEPTEMBER 2010, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK AND THE PASSENGER COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR USING THE HANDLE TO GET OUT. SHE WAS ABLE TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HANDLES AND DOOR LOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH 10% OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT DETERIORATE/CLOUD AND REDUCE LIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE LENS. RESULTING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. ARE MANUFACTURERS REQUIRED TO HAVE LIFE OF VEHICLE LENS? WHAT HAPPENED TO GLASS LENSES? NO RECALLS FOR CLOUDED LENSES? VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. ARE YOU MISSING SOMETHING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES? I SEE THIS ON MORE CARS THAN I CAN COUNT. MANY MANUFACTURERS, MODELS AND YEARS. CAN YOU HELP MILLIONS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE AUTO OWNERS? *TR

DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. VERY INCONVENIENT! *TR

DEFECTIVE LATCH DOOR ON MERCURY MILAN 2006 . 26,000 MILES. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING IN A SHOPPING CENTER ALTHOUGH ELECTRONICALLY LATCHED .WE TAPED THE DOOR TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO A DEALER . THIS CAR IS DRIVEN BY ONE PERSON "SOLO" VERY RARELY THE PASSENGER SIDE IS USED. UPON DRIVING TO THE NEAREST DEALER I T WAS FOUND THE LATCH WAS BROKEN , AND APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE RED FLAGGED. I T MEANS THAT THE NEWER PART THAT ARRIVED TWO WEEKS LATER WAS REDESIGNED FOR THIS MODEL CAR AND THE OLDER PART WERE NO LONGER IN USE.. I DO BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT A DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY INVOLVING A PASSENGER AND ALSO INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES IN PARALLEL LANES. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN V-6 PREMIER PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2009 WITH LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO CAR FAX SHEET, NO ACCIDENTS, NO PROBLEMS WITH CAR. DROVE OFF LOT ELECTRONIC READER INDICATED 23 MPG AND 27 MPG AVERAGE. ONE MONTH AGO MPG WENT DOWN TO 16.5 AND MPG AV 18.5!!! THEN WENT BACK UP A BIT TO 18.5 MPG AND NOW IT IS AGAIN 16.5 MPG. I AM FURIOUS AND WILL BRING BACK TO COLONIAL NISSAN IN FEASTERVILLE WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. HUGE MPG DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE US EPA MPG AND THE CURRENT HORRIBLE MPG WORSE THAN MY 1993 NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH IS 20 MPG! IS IT THE ETHANOL IN THE GAS? IS IT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS/AIR RATIO? ALSO, NOTICED PEDAL ACCELERATION ISSUE. LATELY NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION... CAN PUSH PEDAL AND NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION FOR TOO LONG A TIME. WHAT IS GOING ON???? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FRAUD. THANK YOU. IF IT IS SIMPLY AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SOFTWARE THEN I'M OKAY WITH THAT BUT IT THE MPG IS THIS BAD I'M TRADING IT IN... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS CRACKED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE; SHE HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEEDED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. SHE ALSO CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD NO OPEN RECALLS, THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 4DR MERCURY MILAN. WHILE I ACCELERATE THERE IS A THUMPING SOUND WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE JUMP. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AT TIMES THERE IS A THUMP/JERK OF THE VEHICLE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES.

THE KEY TO MY MERCURY MILAN WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS, AND ONE DAY I WAS SIMPLY UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT AFTER PARKING. I CALLED MY HUSBAND, AND UPON HIS SUGGESTION I TRIED TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF (GENTLY), SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK, AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, ETC., BUT TO NO SUCCESS. AS THE LOCKING MECHANISM (FOB) IS ACTUALLY ON THE KEY, I HAD NO WAY OF LOCKING THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ON A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OPEN YET, BUT I WILL TAKE IT IN ON MONDAY. UNTIL THEN, I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT CANNOT BE LOCKED WITHOUT AN EXTRA KEY, AND IF SOMEONE BREAKS INTO MY VEHICLE THEY NEED ONLY TO TURN THE KEY AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS IS ENORMOUSLY UNNERVING TO ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR
