2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WHILE PASSING THREE SEMI TRUCKS IN THE THIRD LANE OF A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE POWER CUT OUT. NAVIGATING ACROSS THREE LANES OF HIGHWAY THROUGH MULTIPLE VEHICLES WAS TERRIFYING. MY LIFE WAS PLACED WITH IN JEOPARDY, YET THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE ITS THROTTLE BODY CONTROL PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

NOW, THE WARNING COME OUT EVERYTIME I START MY CAR LEAVING MY UNABLE TO USE IT. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE NEED TO DO TO HAVE FORD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS.

AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT A RURAL INTERSECTION I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH, TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT FOR MY JOB. A WARNING LIGHT STATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM" AND "SERVICE ADVANCTRAC". AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE WARNING MESSAGE CHANGED TO SAY "SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM NOW". IT'S GOING TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

JERSEY CITY FORD SERVICE DEPART REPORTS THE HYBRID HARNESS BURNT OUT AND KILLED MY BATTERY. $900 FOR THE HARNESS, $185 FOR THE 84 MONTH BATTERY. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND I'M REPLACING THE HARNESS? THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A CAR PORT. WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE CAR THE PATS SYSTEM ACTIVATED, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALLED TODAY, THE HYBRID HARNESS AS TO BE SHIPPED FROM DETROIT. THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED UNDER ANY NORMAL USE....EVER. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN IT FAILED I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL POWER, STEERING, BRAKES, AND ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, GOING STRAIGHT AND ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, AT APPROXIMATELY 55 M.P.H., CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. VEHICLE MALFUNCTION AND ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 40-45 M.P.H. ON LEVEL GRADES AND 20 ON SLIGHT INCLINES.MANAGED TO RETURN CAR HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 10/26/2015.WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON AND ONLY THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. CAR ACTED NORMAL ON TRIP TO DEALER. TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT FORD HAS EXTENDED COVERAGE ON THIS PART FOR 10YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. FORD BULLETIN 13NO3. WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HYBRIDS WERE NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART NUMBER.THE COVERAGE WAS BASED ON WHERE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AND WHO THE PART SUPPLIER WAS. OH REALLY? THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT SPECIFIC PART WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE PART BIN AND INSTALLED? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO COVER ALL THE VEHICLES EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM.OR DOES IT TAKE A LARGE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE NUMBER TO GET THIS TO HAPPEN. FROM WHAT I AM SEEING, THERE ARE PLENTY OF HYBRIDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
