2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND DROPPED TO AROUND 1000 RPM NO MATTER IF I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR OR NOT. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY LANE FOR ME TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO. IT COSTED FOR ABOUT 3/4 OF A MILE UNTIL I COULD PULL BEHIND SOME ORANGE BARRIERS. AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND CALLING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY WHILE GOING 65 ON THE INTERSTATE IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I WAS PREPARED FOR A PROBLEM AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EMERGENCY LANE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT RESTARTED FINE AND DROVE FINE AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT 20MPH ON A CITY STREET. THE DEALER HAS HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER. ALTHOUGH I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE REDUCED ITS SPEED DRASTICALLY AND COULD NOT EXCEED ABOUT 10 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A PARKING LOT AT VERY LOW SPEED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS RESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS REAPPEARED. THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, I WAS A FEW BLOCKS FROM A FORD DEALER. I VERY CAREFULLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY SLOW UNRESPONSIVE SPEED TO THE DEALER.THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT FORD INFORMS ME IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THEIR CUST. SATISFACTION #13N03 EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS, SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, SAME DIAGNOSTIC CODE, SAME FAILURE AND SAME PART FIX AS THE VIN'S THAT ARE COVERED IN THIS PROGRAM. FORD CANNOT TELL ME (OR SHOULD I SAY 'WILL' NOT TELL ME) WHY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR 'SATISFACTION' PROGRAM. THIS WAS A $400 REPAIR.

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE REPLACEMENT LED ASSEMBLY COSTS UPWARDS OF $400 TO REPLACE. LED BULBS SHOULD HAVE A LIFE SPAN OF >10 YEARS. SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE NHTSA LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY PART.
