2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. CAR HAS LED BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS. BRAKE LIGHT ON LEFT SIDE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLASH WHEN HEADLIGHTS ON. CHANGED COMPLETE TAILLIGHT. ($375) PROBLEM FIXED. 13 MONTHS LATER SAME BRAKE LIGHT FAILED, BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. WIRING OK, NEEDS ANOTHER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. ANOTHER $375. *TR

IN APRIL 2013 I NOTICED THAT MY LEFT BACK TAIL LIGHT WOULD GO OUT AND COME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. EVENTUALLY THE TAIL LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT IT WAS NOT A NORMAL TAIL LIGHT THE BRIGHTNESS INDICATED THAT IT WAS A BRAKE LIGHT. EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY LIGHTS THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AS A TAIL LIGHT. NOW MARCH 2014 MY BRAKE LIGHT IN MY BACK WINDOW WENT OUT. I REPLACED THE BULB IN THIS LIGHT. TWO WEEKS AGO MAY 2014 MY TAIL LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WENT OUT AND WHEN I USED MY BRAKES THE RIGHT BRAKE WOULD BLINK LIKE A BLINKER. CURRENTLY TODAY. I HAVE A TAIL LIGHT ON THE LEFT THAT IS AS BRIGHT AS THE BRAKE, WHEN THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON I DON'T HAVE A BRAKE LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF THE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS. ON THE RIGHT SIDE I DO NOT HAVE A TAIL LIGHT OR A BRAKE LIGHT. SO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, I HAVE ONE TAIL LIGHT OUT COMPLETELY. WHEN I HAVE MY TAIL LIGHTS ON THE ONLY BRAKE LIGHT I HAVE IS IN THE BACK WINDOW. I CALLED TODAY ABOUT REPLACEMENTS AND WAS QUOTED $376.20 A PIECE! THAT IS ONLY THE PART. I DID HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN FRIEND COME OUT AND TEST THE WIRING AND NOPE NOT THE WIRING, IT IS ALL IN THE LIGHT. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP! THIS IS THE 6TH FORD WE HAVE HAD. THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE EVER HAD. IF FORD DOES NOT TAKE REASONABILITY I WILL BE TRADING IT IN FOR A TOYOTA! *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 65MPH, THE CAR LOST POWER AND DECREASE SPEED WHILE MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AGAIN PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. *TR

I HAVE MERCURY MILAN AND I HAD AN ACCIDENT. A CAR WAS TURNING AND TURNED IN FRONT OF ME I SWERVED AND HIT THE CAR THAT WAS TURNING A STOP SIGN, STREET SIGN, AND A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO DIE YET IDLED AROUND 1000 RPM. THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, BUT WOULDN'T INCREASE SPEED AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE MORE THAN 2 OR 3 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER GETTING IT OFF ROAD AND TURNING IGNITION OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000. UPDATED 7/14/14*CN

LED TAIL LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OR NOT WORK AT ALL - IN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT IT IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE - FORD WILL OFFER NO HELP WITH THIS KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT. *TT

I WAS ASKED TO PULL OVER BY A FRIEND WHO TOLD ME THE BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T ACTIVATING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CENTER AND LEFT SIDE WERE OPERATIONAL. WHEN I TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHTS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OPERATIONAL. AN OBVIOUS SYSTEM FAILURE WITHIN THE SEALED LIGHT. CANNOT REPLACE THIS LED LIGHT, THE ENTIRE TAIL LAMP UNIT MUST BE REMOVED. CHECKED WITH VARIOUS PARTS AND DEALERSHIP ($400+) SEEMS EXCESSIVE FOR A TAIL LIGHT THAT COSTS $2-3 IN AN ORDINARY TAIL LIGHT SYSTEM. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BEGINS TO LOSE POWER. THEN THE CAR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT AND APPEARS TO NOT HAVE ANY GAS GOING TO IT. THE WRENCH ON THE DASH BOARD APPEARS AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE CAR APPEARS TO NOT BE GETTING ANY GAS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED THE CAR. AFTER IT SITS FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP AND DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR AWHILE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED OR AT ANYTIME. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TAIL LIGHT FAILED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE LED ASSEMBLY CIRCUIT BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,500.
