2007 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

CAR IS SPUTTERING AND WON'T PICK UP RPM GOES HIGH BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A DIAGNOSIS

AIR BAG IS COMING APART IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO DEPLOY. BRAKES KEEP FREEZING UP. WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE AND WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE. CHANGED COLD AND SPARK PLUGS BOTH TIMES SPARK PLUGS AND COILS WERE BURNT AT THE END AND SOME TYPE OF GOOK WAS ON THE ENDS THAT BOTH SHOPS SAID THEY NEVER SAW BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM EMITTED A GRINDING NOISE AND THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE FOR MANUFACTURER NUMBER: 19S54. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

LIGHT SNOW HIT BRAKE ABS CAME ON NEXT STOP PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR COULD NOT STOP RIGHT IT AN INTER SECTION ALL MOST GOT T BONED NO PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR CAR HAS ONLY 40.000 MILES SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS DO SOMETHING PLEASE I HAVE TO DIVE THIS CAR NOT SAFE I HOPE I DON'T KILL ANY BODY OR SOME ONE ELSE DOES YOU SHOULD REALLY TAKE CONTROL OF THIS

ABS BRAKING FAILED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED VIGOROUSLY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DURING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. THE ABS STARTED TO ENGAGE, THEN BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES WERE LOST. REPAIR SHOP REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THEN FOUND THE ABS MODULE WAS FAULTY. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS LISTING THESE MODULES AS BEING A PROBLEM

THIS MORNING WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY, ABS WAS ACTIVATED DUE TO SNOWY WEATHER. AFTER THIS, BRAKES NEEDED TO BE PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PEDAL PUSHED NEARLY TO THE FLOOR FOR CAR TO STOP. MADE IT TO WORK AFTER NARROWLY ESCAPING SEVERAL POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS AND SLIDING THROUGH A RED LIGHT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. UPON LEAVING WORK, BRAKES WERE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE FAILURE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP PREDICTABLY. ONCE I RETURNED HOME I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE ISSUE TO SEE IF OTHER MERCURY OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AS IT TURNS OUT, IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR SO MANY PEOPLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. AFTER READING SO MANY ACCOUNTS OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I DON'T WANT TO START REPLACING PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE CONTINUE ON AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST 4 RPMS. ALSO, WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHOOK WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH GOSCH FORD HEMET (150 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, 951-396-7250) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE DISCOVERED MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 13N03, WHICH WAS A FREE REPAIR FORD OFFERED ITS CUSTOMERS WITH DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE RECALL AND REFERRED HER TO THE MANUFACTURER. WHEN THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL; HOWEVER, HER VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS NO LONGER ENTITLED TO THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

MY MOM WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65-70/MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF WHILE IT WAS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HER. WE'VE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODELS, BUT NOTHING OLDER. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND THERE'S BEEN QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AGAIN, SHE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!

BRAKES GO SOFT OR SPONGY RESULTING IN INCREASED BRAKE DISTANCE/LESS RESPONSIVE. WHILE DRIVING ON ON A MAJOR ROAD I HIT A BUMP AND LOST ALL OF THE PRESSURE. THEY WERE NEVER THE SAME AGAIN. I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO BRAKE.

EXTENDED BRAKING. HAD MY ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT REPLACED DUE TO THE COMMON BRAKING FAILURE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. FORD DEALER REPLACED THE PART AND ABOUT 9MONTHS LATER THE PART FAILED AGAIN. BOTH TIMES I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NARROWLY AVOID WRECKING. REPLACING THE PART DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.
