1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2018

Takata too! I drove Milan to stop sign. As I went forward, went into 'limp home' mode (found term while researching). 1st time this ever happened. No forewarning! I was able to get car to crawl to the curb. Saw orange wrench light up. Shut off engine. When I restarted, I was able to drive short distance home. Next day, tried 3 times to start. It started, but quickly stalled each time. Towed to my mechanic. He checked computer, saw there was a problem. He doesn't do that work. Told me wrench and engine light come on. Towed to Ford dealership on Friday. It is now 9 days there, and day 11 will be Monday 3/19/18. I spoke 3 times to service dept. (same person), and am being told they are backed up with work, and haven't looked at my car yet. Each convo he says what day they should get to it, but have lied so far. So, not diagnosed yet. I have never received any notice from Ford about this possibly becoming an issue with my car. Also, I never received notice about 'takata recall'. I saw it on the internet and alerted service dept. To check that too. I was told they have to see if my car has that type of airbag. I researched and saw the Ford consumer program 13n03. That investigation involves 2009-2013 Milans. Extended warranty 10 yrs or 150,000 miles. I know this is the problem with my car. I bought it may 2011 with under 52,0000 miles on it. Not even 7 yrs yet, and I have under 60,000 miles on it because it's only for local driving. It's the only vehicle I have and I can't get rental car help thru insurance unless my car was in an accident. Ford won't help on a loaner car either. Now, I believe Ford has a protocol they are following to 'get out' of any free repairs. The nccc suggests phoning 1-800-392-3673 if I never received letter, but that phone number is Ford! seriously? should I bother? this is in staten island, NY. Beware! can I please get any help on what to do?.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2014

My 2008 Mercury Milan stalls and accelerates rapidly when driving. I have to place my feet on the brakes and gas at stops because the engine increases power and the car actually jumps at times without my foot being on the pedal. There is no warning before this rapid acceleration and I have actually almost hit other cars because of this defect. My vehicle stalled a couple of days ago and I took it to a local dealership and I was informed that I needed to replace the following items. 1. Power train control module 2. Ignition coils 3. Spark plugs 4. Throttle body I called Ford's customer service and explained that the car was dangerous to drive and I was informed that it was nothing the company could do to assist me.
