2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WENT TO TAKE MY CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. WENT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED! COULD NOT TURN WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT! AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENED A WARNING SIGN POPPED ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT POWER STEERING FAILURE. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. 2010, 11 AND 12 MODELS ARE ALL HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM! ONLY ONE THEY RECOGNIZE AT THE MOMENT HAVING A PROBLEM IS THE 2011 BECAUSE APPARENTLY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT OR KILLED WITH THE 2010 AND 12 MODELS BEFORE THEY RECALL THEM! I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND FEEL FORTUNATE I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IN A PARKING LOT! I HOPE THE "INVESTIGATION" THEIR WORKING ON GOES BY QUICKLY BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT!

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHEN THE STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AS I WAS CHANGING LANES. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AND ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS SOMETHING RELATED TO A FAULT IN THE STEERING RACK, AND ASKED $6,000 TO REPLACE IT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 110,000 MILES ON IT.

THIRD TIME TAKING MY CAR IN, CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. KEEP GETTING CODE PO455, PO457 AND NOW P2119. I JUST WENT IN LESS THEN 3 MTHS AGO AND HAD THE THROTTLE BODY PCM CALIBRATION UPDATE, BAM STARTING AGAIN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO GO DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE POWER OR WHILE DRIVING GIVE IT GAS & IT JERKS. 2010 MILAN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE PULLING INTO GARAGE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ,ALL MOST HIT THE HOUSE READ IN NEWS PAPER THAT FORD HAD A RECALL AND FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING BOX BLONDES FORD IN TOLEDO SAID NO RECALL ON MY CAR.IT COST ME1790.39 TO GET STEERING GEAR FIXED.

NO POWER STEERING, CALLED DEALER AND THEY WHAT $80 TO TELL ME I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND MIGHT COST $1800 TO REPAIR. SO MANY REPORTS OF THIS WHY HAVEN'T THEY RECALLED THESE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NO LONGER STEER. MESSAGES SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE WERE DISPLAYED. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I SAW THAT THE 2011 MILAN WAS ALREADY UNDER RECALL ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FORD MODELS. THE 2010 MILAN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL AS THE ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WITH THIS MODEL. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I DO NOT HAVE $2000 TO GET THIS FIXED AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING UNTIL THE RECALL GOES THROUGH.
