MERCURY Complaints

YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. CAR LURCHED AND ACCELERATED ERRATICALLY, PARTICULARLY WHEN GOING UP HILL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS LABORING. MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND DIAGNOSTIC CODES. HE CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, ANDTHE CAR LURCHES AND CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE ERRATICALLY. WHAT AM I TO DO? I FEEL THAT THIS IS HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND I NOTICE I AM NOT THE ON LO Y ONE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE FORD ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY RETROACTIVELY FOR ANY REPAIRS I HAVE TO MAKE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING THE RECALL HAS BEEN DONE FOR 2011-2012 FUSIONS AND 2011 MILANS . MY 2010 MILAN HAS THE SAME EXACT PARTS AND I CAN FIND ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS OF THE STEERING GOING OUT ON THE 2010 YEAR VEHICALS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA LET FORD GET AWAY WITH WHEN THERE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM BOTH WHEN JUST STARTING AND WHILE DRIVING. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TO LOTS OF PEOPLE

WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES MY CAR HAD A WHINING NOISE AND ACCELERATED NOT RESPONDING TO MY EFFORTS TO STOP.I AVOIDED THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND ALSO TO THE RIGHT OF ME BY MOVING TO THE TURNING LANE TO STOP MYSELF FROM HITTING ANYONE ELSE. HOWEVER TO POSSIBLY AVOID ANOTHER ACCIDENT, I CROSSED OVER TO THE OTHER TRAFFIC LANES ON ORDER TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WAS STILL INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH TOTALED MY CAR.

MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT FOR NO REASON. I WAS TAKING MY HUSBAND TO THE AIRPORT AND THE FIRST INDICATOR WAS SERVICE POWER STEERING AND WHEN IT CAME ON AND IT JUST GOT TOUGH TO TURN. TWO DAYS LATER ANOTHER INDICATOR SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW CAME ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING I HAVE. THEY SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THE 2011S BUT WE AS OWNERS OF A 2010 ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEEDS TO SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUS WRECKS AND EVEN DEATH LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME OKAY. NOW I CAN BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SO I AM NOT DRIVING THIS CAR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LOSES ALL POWER STEERING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 MERCURY MILAN WHICH HAVE ALL THE SAME PARTS WHY WOULDN'T THEY RECALL THE 2010 MILANS? THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHERE THE POWER STEERING WILL JUST GO OUT THAN WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT WORKS AGAIN. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD TRUST MY WIFE OR CHILD DRIVING THIS CAR.
