Started car for a drive after oil change/ disconnect battery for terminal cleaning and reconnect. Upon acceleration, could not get car to shift unless let off gas. Shifts hard, did not shift 3 and 4 gear until acceleration of at least 55 mph, then 70 in 4th gear. On highway seemed to want to slow down. Upon parking, let it idle. Car flashed engine light, wrench and curvy road. Idling was rough, as if vacuum was not working. Turned car off and then on. Wrench disappeared and curvy road but engine light on. Checked codes. Only threw one code not related to problem. Unable to drive this way. So many complaints but no recalls. Never buying a Ford again. Looks like time for foreign car.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and would not pick up speed upon pressing the acceleration pedal several times and the failure progressed. The vehicle also independently surged forward while the contact had the brake pedal applied in another instance. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who provided a tune up, changed the spark plugs and cleaned the injectors but the failure recurred. The contact stated that while pulling out of the drive way at 5 mph the vehicle continued to be slow to pick up speed. The contact had to ensure force was applied to the brake pedal to ensure the vehicle did not move. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer who diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000. Dyd.

Put my car into park and my key refused to come out of the ignition. I tried numerous times to put my car in park/drive to see if the ignition will unlock, but it is not communicating that it is in park (steering wheel will not lock, I also can't turn the key backwards and put into auxiliary mode. It wouldn't be a bad thing if I didn't live in the city. Besides the fact that the stupid drivers side door latch is busted too which is a security issue along with a safety issue. Can't a consumer rely on a car manufacture to issue parts that don't break or malfunction. . . I see online that lots and lots and lots of people have this issue. . . As this is a major concern, why is there no recall? why should I have to pay out of pocket to get this fixed when it is a known issue? maybe its time to buy a chevy.

When switching lanes on a highway at 45 mph, attempted to accelerate but car which is an automatic would not shift. Had to get to shoulder to get car slowed down and get it to shift into gear. After that incident it would only drive in the lower drive gear not in the normal drive gear. After car had been parked for 30 minutes, the car would work in normal drive gear but still did a hard pop to shift gears with a hard acceleration. Mechanic determined that the transmission will go into neutral and than pop into gear. Ford is aware of issue as had issued a technical service bulletin on correcting the issue. A transmission with only 70000 miles should not be shifting into neutral by itself which creates a potential for an accident especially on a highway that may not have shoulders for the driver to move its now slow vehicle out of traffic.
