My head lights are NOT sufficient. It does not have the option for 2 bulbs. I have changed out the bulbs 3 times while owning this vehicle and from the first night I drove it after owning it, I noticed the lights where very off. I drive around town and on dark roads where there is NO Road LIGHTS at night with my head lights on Bright and I DO NOT get brighted back. I have hit an animal due to the lights not being bright. I fear driving the car at night or where it's to dark because the light assembly is not proper. No warning lights.

So my ABS and Traction control lights came on while driving, my steering wheel became stiff, and I had ZERO brakes. I almost hit another vehicle. After being able to pull over and safely park without hurting myself and child or anyone else, I had my husband come get my car. He said that when opening the break fluid cap it was sucked down. It "fixed" itself after the cap was fixed. After a few weeks, my 16 yr old was driving and it happened to her, she pulled over, called me. I came to get her and done what my Husband said, shutting the car off, turn the break fluid cap off see if the rubber part was sucked down, and it was , to push it back up, check fluid , put cap back on, restart car. This happens every 2-3 weeks. Driving down a very steep Canyon in Colorado I feared my breaks going out on me. I looked this issue up and there is a RECALL on 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrids just NOT for particular VIN. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

Was not able to drive my car because you had to press the breaks all the way to the ground in order for the vehicle to attempt to stop. A recall was issued for the hydraulic breaks in 2019 and no parts were available for almost a year. Car has been at the dealership being repaired since August 12, but now they are telling us that the hydraulic breaks issues has caused the break master cylinder to fail - leaving the car unsafe and undrivable but they are expecting us to pay for the replacement of the master cylinder when the dealership openly admitted this was directly caused because of the recall

Our torque sensor needs replacing. McFarland Ford in Exeter said that the torque sensor was repaird via recall at First Ford in Fall River, MA 2014. We have NEVER had a problem with steering. First Ford in Fall River informed me that if we brought the vehicle in for an oil change, any recall item would have been checked, and if they found no problem with it at that time, it was reported, and that ended the recall status for our vehicle. Please, we need your help. My husband is 83; I am 70. This whole thing smells. How can checking something we had no problem with cancel a recall status on our vehicle. There was no warning. Our vehicle worked fine. We got in the next morning, and the steering wheel wouldn't turn.
