2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES. AT THE TIME THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR WOULD SAY "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT SAY "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". UPON RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THERE HAS A BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2011-2015 MERCURY MILAN MODELS BUT NOT THE 2010. I HAVE FOUND A TON OF OTHERS WITH MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE MILEAGE RANGING FROM LOW TO HIGH. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE OTHER MODEL MILIANS RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND DID NOT LOCK THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED HUNTERSVILLE FORD AT 704-875-6547 (LOCATED AT 13825 STATESVILLE RD, HUNTERSVILLE, NC 28078) AND WAS QUOTED A HIGH COST FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE DOOR HANDLE WAS REPLACED AT AN AFFORDABLE COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH ON A CURVY CITY STREET AND A ERROR MESSAGE TO SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON ALERTED ME. BEFORE I COULD GET A QUARTER OF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE APPEARED, WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THAT MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP QUOTED ME UPWARDS UP $1250 FOR THE REPAIR. MY CAR HAS ROUGHLY 84,000 MILES ON IT. IF THEY ARE RECALLING THE 2011 MODEL FOR THIS REPAIR THEN OBVIOUSLY THE 2010 SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL IF IT HAS THE SAME MALFUNCTIONS, PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES. THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I CAN'T AFFORD SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY, IN MAY 2018, STATED THAT PARTS WERE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD QUARTERS OF 2018. WITH THE FOURTH QUARTER COMING TO A CLOSE, I HAVE BECOME INPATIENT. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT TO BE UNABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS SAFELY IN MY VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING IN SNOW AND ICE GOING DOWN A HILL WHEN MY ABS ACTIVATED. SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR. ONCE THAT HAPPENED IT TOOK TWICE AS LONG TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME. BLED THE BRAKES, SAME THING PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR. CHANGED THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP, BLED THE BRAKES AND USED A SCAN TOOL TO BLEED THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP. THEN REBLED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THEN CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER BLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT PEDAL HITS THE FLOOR. HOWEVER THIS TIME I HAVE NO BRAKES. I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IN ALMOST 2 MONTHS. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $1500 DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS FIXING AND RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR MILAN'S AND FUSIONS OF SIMILAR YEARS.

WHEN DRIVING IN MOTION PASSENGER REAR BRAKE LIGHT IS ON AT NIGHT AT ALL TIMES....GOT PULLED OVER AND TICKETED. WHEN HOME I COULD NOT RECREATE THE EVENT AT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD WITH THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON. CAR HAS ONLY 29,000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING STOP WORKING WHEN IM DRIVING THANK GOD I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT YOU CANT TURN THE STEERING UNLESS YOU APPLY STRONG FORCE ON IT THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE OTHER DRIVERS

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). LAWRENCEVILLE FORD LINCOLN MERCURY (2920 BRUNSWICK PIKE, LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING WAS GONE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUS TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE 2011 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME UPWARDS OF $2000 TO REPAIR. WHEN I DECLINED, THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND IT WORKED AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE CAME ON.

HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS NOTICES FROM FORD ABOUT AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I RECEIVED THE LAST NOTICE REQUESTING I CONTACT MY DEALER.LOU FUSZ FORD, CHESTERFIELD, MO, AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION IN THE NOTICE ABOUT NOW BEING ABLE TO ORDER MY NEW AIRBAGS FOR THE MILAN. I JUST CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE ORDER PLACED FOR THE NEW AIRBAGS AND CANNOT LOCATE ANY ORDER ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. THIS IS NOW GOING ON 2 YEARS WAITING FOR THE FIX . EVERYDAY OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR.
