2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED. VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER FOR MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THE CAR. SHE WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS. THE EFFORT FOR STEERING WAS INCREASED GREATLY AND COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. SHE MANAGED TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE 2011 MERCURY MILAN #15V340000 THAT IS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED TO RESOLVE ISSUE.

POWER STEERING FAILURE: MY POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS MAKING A TURN ON CITY STREET WHEN THE FAILURE HAPPENED. WE HAVE 87000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE DASHBOARD STATED " SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". AFTER PULLING OVER AND CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT POWER STEERING TO A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR THERE FOR A FEW DAYS, I STARTED IT UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I AM CONCERNED DRIVING THIS CAR GIVEN THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING FAILURE: MY POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DRIVING THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE AWARE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT REFUSE TO OFFER ANY GOOD WILL PROGRAM OR RECTIFY THE SITUATION. . I HAVE 115,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 5 YRS. /60,000. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINS ON THE 2010 MERCURY MILAN PREMIER SERIES

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN IN AN INTERSECTION THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED ON THE CAR. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. AFTERWARDS THE "POWER STEERING FAILURE" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED. INCIDENT NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. UPON INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ON THE 2011-2012 MERCURY MILAN WITH THE SAME PART AS THE PROBLEM (STEERING MOTOR SENSOR) THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR THOSE MODEL/YEARS. AS IT IS THE SAME PART IT SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS SAME RECALL, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T. THIS PART IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AT A COST OF $1800-$2000.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PURGE VALVE CRACKED, CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

GOT A TICKET FOR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BEING OUT. NEXT DAY FOUND OUT BRAKE LIGHT IS $300 THAT IS INSANE THIS IS NOT A HIGH END VEHICLE. AN LED LIGHT IS THE CHEAPEST LIGHT EVER INVENTED. IF FORD DOESN'T MAKE THIS A RECALL I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN .....TOTAL RIPOFF!

TAIL LIGHT RECALL. LED LIGHTS HAVE A SHORT AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT REMAIN ILLUMINATED AS IF APPLYING THE BRAKE
