2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

THE RIGHT PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS PART IS AN LED AND WAS $300 TO REPLACE. FORD SAID THIS WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE LIGHT WAS OUT. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND CAME TO A STOP, AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO RUN OR IDLE. IT WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS REPLACED. I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD SO NO INJURIES, HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, I HEARD A CHIME NOISE I LOOKED DOWN AT MY DASH AND MY CAR SAID SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING. I NOTICED MY POWER STEERING WAS STARTING TO SLOWLY GO OUT. AS I REACHED MY DESTINATION, AND THEN STARTED MY CAR TO LEAVE, MY CAR NOW SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW, AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. AT THIS POINT MY CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL, LEAVING ME STRANDED HOURS FROM HOME. *TR

TRAVELING TO ARMY NATIONAL GUARD DRILL DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS IS WHEN THIS OCCURED. I WAS GOING SPEED LIMIT WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONTO AN ONRAMP WHICH LEADS TO THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A WEIRD VIBRATION IN THE STERRING WHEEL AND IT FAILED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED BACK FROM THE RIGHT POSITION. I AM STRONG AND I COULD NOT MOVE IT. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSE MY CAR TO SMASH INTO A TREE. I WAS KNOCKED OUT, HEAD INJRUY, AND VERY BAD BACK/SHOULDER INJURY. I WAS TAKEN BY 911 TO THE HOSPITAL AND I HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR MULTIPLE THINGS. FORD IS YET TO REPOND TO ANYTHING OR TO OFFER SOME SORT OF SETTLEMENT FOR THIS WHICH IS ABSOLUTLY THEIR FAULT. I HAVE GOT A LAWYER TO KEEP SENDING DEMANDS TO FORD. NOW, I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A PROBLEM THEY ARE NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT AND CLAIMING NO ONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT FROM IT...WELL THIS IS NOT TRUE AS I DID. I AM ALSO SEEKING A NEGLIGENCE CLAIM BECAUSE A WEEK PRIOR, THEY REPLACED A FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR WHICH ALSO COULD HAVE LEAD TO THIS. HOPEFULLY YOUR AGENCY DOES SOME SERIOUS INVESTIGATION. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, THE VEHICLE STEERING BECAME HARD TO STEER AND WITHIN MINUTES, THE STEERING BECAME NON-EXISTENT. I HAD TO PUT ON HAZARDS IN ORDER TO AVOID AN A CAR FROM HITTING ME AND TO TRY TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE WITH PRETTY MUCH NO STEERING POWER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE WHEEL STUD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY NEIGHBOR INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT FULLY OPERATING BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. FORD HAS TO REPLACE A COMPLETE REAR LAMP MODULE WHICH INCLUDES OTHER REAR LIGHTS THAT STILL WORK, TO THE TUNE OF $300 TO$400. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS OWNED 50+ CARS OVER MANY YEARS AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A BRAKE LIGHT. FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE LED BRAKE LIGHTS AS A TECHNICAL/SAFETY RECALL. *TR

WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. REPLACED THE LIGHT AND SAME PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

THE TAILLIGHT FIXTURE ON MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN IS NOW BAD AND FORD WANTS $400 TO REPLACE IT. IT IS AN LED FIXTURE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BURNT OUT BY NOW. I CANNOT REPLACE THE BULB ON MY OWN, THE WHOLE FIXTURE MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
