general problems of the 2007 Mercury Milan

I was driving down a main road when the car just lost power could not accelerate. Pulled over to the side had to use e brake to stop. Turn off car try to turn it back on and it would not start only dash lights came on. Check engine. Had it towed. Mechanic diagnosis 1 of the back coils went bad along with ecm/pcm. Fried the coil on the plug fuse as well. Very dangerous and scary when your driving in traffic about 50 miles per hour. Car has 74,000. No warning light came on before this car has been maintained by Ford with oil changes and multi point inspects. This seems to be an issue with Mercury Milan but no recalls???.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle dropped out of overdrive and jerked forcefully. The contact stated that the engine reved and the speedometer fluctuated up and down from 0-120 constantly. The vehicle jerked back and forth each time the engine was started and when shifting into drive and reverse. The contact believed the throttle control cables were failing because, while idling, the vehicle reved up to 2 rpms. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 111,656.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. The contact stated while traveling approximately 35 mph, the vehicle began to lunge forward without warning. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who diagnosed that six ignition coils, six spark plugs, and the DC computer needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired but did not rectify the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure and current mileage was 33,000.

While first driving my car from a standstill, I noticed the "wrench idiot light" on. The car seemed to buck as it went through it's gears. Also, the speedometer registered "0" at this time. Upon entering the highway, the car would not go into what I think is 4th gear. Several times, the car lurched forward and then throttled back to a low rpm, before responding to the gas pedal. Eventually, I could run at 55 mph @ 3000 rpm's, but it wouldn't shift any further, even when I went faster. At this time, the speedometer needle finally registered my true speed. A couple of times, the rpm's suddenly shot-up and then the engine throttled back. However, the car felt like it should have gone into it's final forward gear but couldn't. On local roads. It shifts extremely hard into it's gears. The whole time, the car's "wrench" light was on.

Prior to the incident described the car was acting perfectly fine and had never died or been difficult to start. On the morning of sept 23rd I got in the car I started it and it died immediately. I started the car again and drove for approximately 1 block and it died again. I restarted it and it drove a couple more blocks and when I stopped at a stop sign it died again. After this the car would start but would shut off as soon as I put the car in gear. Every time the car died the check charging system light would come on. The car was towed to the local Ford dealer. The dealership ran the computer which indicated the electrical throttle body was bad. When the dealership removed the faulty throttle body they could not find any damage that would cause it to go bad. They explained that it must be a faulty part. When the throttle body was replaced a code indicated that the mass air flow sensor was also bad. The dealership could not find damage on the sensor either and explained that the throttle body going out blew the sensor.

Incident occurred as driver of Mercury Milan 2007 awd premier vehicle was driving on the highway at a speed of around 50-45mph. The car began to shudder and vibrate. Vehicle dash lights and engine cut out completely in the middle of driving, driver managed to make it safely to the side of the road. Car was towed to nearby auto service facility. Upon inspection the pcm module was found to be defective. The pcm module shorted out all 6 ignition coils and dumped fuel into the cone of one catalytic converter stopping it from working. Further investigation showed that the pcm module is a documented problem for a variety of makes and models of Ford/Mercury cars. The pcm module was also on backorder from multiple locations. The mechanic also made extensive inquiries about the current pcm module and the backordered pcm (with new drivers and programming). The mechanic was informed that placing the old pcm in the car would result in similar electrical components being compromised because of the faulty version of the pcm. Total bill resulted in $3600, gross safety hazard for the car shutting down on a busy highway. It is my hope that Ford begins to evaluate this as an issue and push it to the recall list before someone gets seriously hurt. Lastly, the back ordered part meant the car was not available to drive for over a month.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that the wires connected to the spark plugs overheated and transmitted an incorrect code to the vehicle processor. The dealer repaired the vehicle and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 82,344.

Driver was pulling into a parking space at the car dealer. Vehicle was almost stopped when it surged forward and hit the corner of the dealership office building.

Less than 30000, miles air conditioning went out and was charged to repair it, air bag sensor light comes and goes but never fixed or repaired. Was in a 30 mile a hour head accident, and air bags never deployed. . . . . . Driver window motor out 2 times. . . Battery went out after 2 years and was charged 140 to replace a 80 dollar battery. . . . Trade it off now or deal with these issues!.
