Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2006 Mercury Milan

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Milan. While operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor illuminated intermittently. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. Also, while driving, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the transmission would slip when shifting gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 84,000.

As I was trying to pick up speed from 35 mph my car started to slow down an my check engine light came on. I immediately took it the mechanic to get the diagnostic test ran on it. It showed that I had a bad ignition coil and spark plugs. I bought the coil from Ford and when I got it put in my car 3 minutes later that same coil I bought exploded again! ima mechanic called Ford they said it was a recall on this cars pcm. I've read about this problem from numerous people. Ford needs to do something about this!!!.

While driving at 40-50mph and then trying to accelerate to pass or go uphill the transmission would cluck out of gear and then slam back in violently. It was so violent that it snapped the transmission torque mount. When it does this the car lunges forward with loss of power and then snaps back when it slams back into gear. I took it to a transmission specialist and after consulting with sonnax technical support, the only solution is to replace the valve body and update the pcm/tcm with the latest software. However, they did say that there was no guarantee that this wouldn't happen again because aisin/Ford have not figure out how to fix the issue with the valve body, they keep throwing updates at the problem but buy then damage has already been done and Ford wont do anything about it. This is not just a consumer complaining, this is a consumer that believes that this is a safety issue and aisin/Ford should step up and recall this valve body and fix the issue at no cost to the consumer because they knew that there was a problem with that transmission but ignored it and kept throwing updates at it instead of doing the right thing and recalling it and fixing it. I should not have to pay to fix a faulty part with something that is not guaranteed to work. Ford step up and do the right thing.

While getting on the highway car stalled would not pick up speed nearly causing an accident was told I need a new tcm and pcm and will require coil replacement. According to maintenance schedule transmission flush and fill due at 90,000.
