2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRACTION AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. CAR LURCHED AND ACCELERATED ERRATICALLY, PARTICULARLY WHEN GOING UP HILL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS LABORING. MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND DIAGNOSTIC CODES. HE CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, ANDTHE CAR LURCHES AND CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE ERRATICALLY. WHAT AM I TO DO? I FEEL THAT THIS IS HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND I NOTICE I AM NOT THE ON LO Y ONE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE FORD ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY RETROACTIVELY FOR ANY REPAIRS I HAVE TO MAKE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING THE RECALL HAS BEEN DONE FOR 2011-2012 FUSIONS AND 2011 MILANS . MY 2010 MILAN HAS THE SAME EXACT PARTS AND I CAN FIND ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS OF THE STEERING GOING OUT ON THE 2010 YEAR VEHICALS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA LET FORD GET AWAY WITH WHEN THERE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM BOTH WHEN JUST STARTING AND WHILE DRIVING. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TO LOTS OF PEOPLE

MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT FOR NO REASON. I WAS TAKING MY HUSBAND TO THE AIRPORT AND THE FIRST INDICATOR WAS SERVICE POWER STEERING AND WHEN IT CAME ON AND IT JUST GOT TOUGH TO TURN. TWO DAYS LATER ANOTHER INDICATOR SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW CAME ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING I HAVE. THEY SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THE 2011S BUT WE AS OWNERS OF A 2010 ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEEDS TO SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUS WRECKS AND EVEN DEATH LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME OKAY. NOW I CAN BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SO I AM NOT DRIVING THIS CAR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LOSES ALL POWER STEERING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 MERCURY MILAN WHICH HAVE ALL THE SAME PARTS WHY WOULDN'T THEY RECALL THE 2010 MILANS? THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHERE THE POWER STEERING WILL JUST GO OUT THAN WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT WORKS AGAIN. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD TRUST MY WIFE OR CHILD DRIVING THIS CAR.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE THAT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL SO THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 - 2012 MERCURY MILAN #15V340000 BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2010. THIS IS A COSTLY $1800 REPAIR IN WHICH OTHERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE IN THE MILAN.

THIS IS THE 2ND $400 REAR TAIL LIGHT I'VE PUT ON THIS CAR. IT HAS LED LAMPS AND THE WHOLE LIGHT HAS TO BE REPLACED. WORKS FINE WITHOUT HEADLAMPS ON AND NOT WHEN THEY ARE OFF. THIS CAN RESULT IN GETTING REAR ENDED!!!!! FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL THIS. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET. AND A 9.5 OUT OF 10 ON NHTSA. REPLACING A $2 BULB WITH A $400 LED IS DUMB.

MY DRIVER DOOR INSIDE HANDLE IS INOPERATIVE. I HAVE TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS MEANS EITHER SOMEONE HAS TO OPEN DOOR FOR ME FROM OUTSIDE, OR I ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS TO PULL ON THE HANDLE. THE LOCK / UNLOCK ELECTRONIC BUTTON WORKS, AS WELL AS THE MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY ALLOWS LOCKING LATCH (ON THE SIDE OF THE DOOR, SEE PICTURE) TO BE ABLE TO RELEASE. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE WINDOW IS BROKEN OR I AM IN A PANIC TO GET OUT? I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR BY MYSELF. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE TO HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON FOR THE OUTSIDE DOOR TO BE ABLE TO UNLATCH THE LOCK (SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET ME OUT, AND I AM DAZED AND CAN'T OPEN MYSELF, NOR UNDERSTAND TO HIT UNLOCK TO ALLOW RESCUER TO HELP). I WANTED TO BRING TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM FOR EVALUATION. I WAS INFORMED SINCE MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN HAS 80,600 MILES, IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND SINCE THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL ON FILE, I MUST PAY $100 TECHNICIAN INSPECTION FEE. THEN THERE WOULD BE THE CHARGE FOR FIXING IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION ASSIST FAILED. A WARNING INDICATING THAT I SERVICE THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY APPEARED. INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR BOTH POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL APPEARED. UPON TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM DID NOT RESOLVE.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT FROM A CITY STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN WENT OUT. IT STARTED WITH A WARNING ON THE DISPLAY "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" ALONG WITH THE WARNING BELLS. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BUT MADE IT SAFELY INTO A PARKING SPOT. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" ALONG WITH THE WARNING BELLS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE POWER STEERING GEAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT HAD FAILED. SPOKE TO THE DEALER AS THERE WAS IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ITEM BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN 2011 MILAN. THE COST WAS OVER $1700 TO REPLACE.
