2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TWICE WHILE TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEED, IT DROPPED INTO WHAT APPEARED TO BE A LIMP HOME MODE. A RESTART RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO SOMEWHAT NORMAL OPERATION, BUT IT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING JUST EVER SO SLIGHTLY, ROUGH. *TR

ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 70 AND 80 MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ON ONE OCCASION THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY. NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED OTHER THAN "LIMP MODE LIGHT" WHEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE GOES TO IDLE. UPON SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING, VEHICLE BEHAVES AS NORMAL WITH NO INDICATOR/WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP TO GET CHECK ENGINE CODES, VEHICLE SHOWS NO ERROR CODES. *TR

ENGINE GOES LIMP. THROTTLE BODY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. FORD HAS REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL TWICE AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. FORD WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY OTHER PROBLEMS AND KEEPS WANTING TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. MOST OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE GOING UP A HILL. IF I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RE-START, THE ENGINE IS NO LONGER LIMP. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER 6 MONTHS, MULTIPLE (>20) TIMES. *TR

WITH NO WARNING, VEHICLE APPEARED TO STALL OUT WHICH RESULTED IN A LIMP HOME OR REDUCED POWER MODE; AFTER THE THIRD CIRCUMSTANCE WE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASY. *TR

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN THE CAR ENGINE SEEMED TO STALL OUT. IT WAS SURGING A BIT, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB, BUT COULD CONTINUE TO FEEL THE ENGINE SURGE AS I WAS STOPPING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME NORMALLY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. *TR

DRIVING FREEWAY AT 77 MPH WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. MANAGED TO GET CAR OVER TO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND TRIED TO GET OFF RAMP BUT WOULDN'T MAKE IT. NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND FELT LIKE IT WAS STILL RUNNING AT IDLE. STEPPED ON GAS BUT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN DRIVE OR PARK. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED TWICE BEFORE I COULD GET RESPONSE FROM STEPPING ON GAS. THEN TOOK OFF LIKE NOTHING WRONG. VERY DANGEROUS AND LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. HAD ONE OTHER INCIDENT WITH CAR DOING SAME THING BUT WAS SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. *TR
