MERCURY Complaints

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THERE WAS A RECALL I SEE BUT FOR SOME REASON MINE ISNT COVERED. ITS A 2010 AND JUST TURNED 70K MILES. I SEE THIS IS COMMON BUT CANT FIND A FIX ONLINE.

THURSDAY MAY 23 2019. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY VAN JUST CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VAN AND GET INTO A PARKING LOT. I SAT FOR A BIT AND TRIED IT AGAIN. IT STARTED. BUT I HAD NO POWER TO GO FORWARD OR REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUST GONE. ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAD HAPPENED. NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT .. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. I HAD JUST PULLED FORWARD FROM WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER SEAT GOES BACKWARD AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GOES ON WITH OUT USING OR PUSHING NO INSTRUMENTS

AIR BAG DIL CODE CAME UP 33. TOOK CAR TO REPAIR, COST ~$1300 TO REPLACE FAILED PRETENSIONERS DRIVER AND PASSENGER. SAFETY WAS COMPROMISED WITHOUT REPAIR AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MORE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH HAD A COLLISION OCCURRED.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED BY A PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2004. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2017 AND EXACTLY ONE YEAR LATER THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED INFORMATION THAT THE REOCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE IS A PROBLEM AFTER THE SO-CALLED FIX. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ADDITION, THE CARFAX VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT DOESN'T SHOW THE REPAIR EVER BEING DONE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 MERCURY MILAN ON 65MPH HIGHWAY ENGINE STARTED SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS REVING UP. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY. A SMALL WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE A WRENCH CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF I RESTARTED VEHICLE AND MADE IT HOME WITH LIGHT OFF. NOW EACH TIME I START TO DRIVE ANYWHERE WRENCH LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND ENGINE SEEMS TO REV UP AND UNABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. VEHICLE IS ALSO IDLING FAST. I'VE NOTED PER ONINE CONVERSATION THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES. UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS RECURRING ISSUE AS I'VE OWNED CAR LESS THAN 30DAYS.
