2010 MERCURY MILAN HYBRID Complaints

SERVICE STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. IT COST ME $1780 TO REPAIR. RECALL ON THE 2011 BUT NOT THE 2010, SAD SITUATION.

MY STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS PARKING MY VEHICLE. I'M FORTUNATE THAT NO CARS WERE NEXT TO WHERE I WAS PARKING BECAUSE THE CAR WENT INTO THE NEXT PARKING SPOT WITHOUT MY CONTROL. I SEE THAT 2011 MERCURY MILAN HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. I WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I WAS DRIVING AND DROVE ONTO SOME UNEVEN PAVEMENT. I HIT A BUMP AT 40 MPH. I WAS COMING OFF OF AN INTERSTATE ONTO AN EXIT RAMP AND HAD TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. I HAD TO PUMP IT UP TO STOP. IT IS STILL A SOFT PEDAL.

TAKATA INFLATORS, FUEL TANK MAY CRACK DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAY CAUGHT UNDER GAS PEDAL POWER ASSISTED STEERING. RECALL NOTICE # 16S26 NHTS A RECALL 16V-384

TAKATA RECALL. PURSUANT TO SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S01/NHTSA RECALL 18V046, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE OUR CAR SINCE JUNE 5, 2018, ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO. ALTHOUGH WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO A RENTAL CAR, IT IS A PROBLEM NOT TO HAVE USE OF OUR OWN VEHICLE AND IS AN ONGOING INCONVENIENCE. WHEN WILL THE REMEDY BE AVAILABLE?

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT 30 MPH. THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND TIE RODS WERE REPLACED 3 MONTHS/3,000 AGO FOR THE SAME EXACT FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE MILAN 2010 FOR THIS ISSUE JUST LIKE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE MILAN 2011 AND FUSION 2011/2012. SEE INITIAL COMPLAINT # 11081366.

AS I WAS DRIVING, CHIME SOUNDED AND SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND DID A QUICK CHECK UNDER HOOD AND UNDER VEHICLE. WHEN I FOUND NOTHING I RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO RE-ENTER ROADWAY, CHIME ONCE AGAIN SOUNDED AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOW MESSAGES AND LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BUT NOW ALL POWER ASSIST TO STEERING WAS LOST MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE JUNE 1, 2016 RECALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG, I HAVE GONE TO BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED. I ALSO HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH CALLS ON MANY OCCASIONS. IT IS NOW DEC. 2017 AND I SPOKE WITH THE FORD CORPORATION TODAY AT 800-392-3673 AND THEY TOO SAY I STILL MUST WAIT. I JUST WANT MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH I'M SURE OTHERS HAVE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. ANY HELP IS MOST APPRECIATED. 16V384 NHTSA RECALL MANUFACTURE RECALL NUMBER 16S26

2 BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON DASH. BRAKE PEDAL SOFT AND WENT TO FLOOR. VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER . ALMOST ROLLED THROUGH INTERSECTION. 76 YEAR OLD LADY (MY MOTHER) TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR. TAKING TO DEALER TOMORROW.

CAR WAS HAVING NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 30 SECONDS AFTER I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND FLASHING THE WARNING SIGN 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC'IN YELLOW LETTERS AND THEN A MINUTE LATER IT BEEPED AND SAID 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW' IN BOLD RED LETTERS. I PARKED MY CAR AT WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO BUDGE. HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED.
