general problems of the 2010 Mercury Milan - part 1

I was driving on the freeway and the steering began to stiffen. I got to my destination and decided to check the tires for any ice or snow, thinking that might be why it was difficult to drive but there was no buildup. I made it home and parked the car. The next day, I can't even turn the steering and a warning comes up that says service power steering and advancetrac.

The electric power steering has failed again this will make it twice in 18 months the last time it cost 1800 dollars to fix it know that only some of the 2010 Mercury Milans are on a recall list unfortunately mine is not on that list why because it is absurd that I should I have to make this repair for 1800 dollars again you cant safely drive this car it takes everything I have to turn the steering wheel.

Unknown when air temperature drops below 50 degrees radio console does not function. Display is locked with only the words "Mercury Milan". Now the electrical system is not functioning. I know it isn't the battery- I had it replaced within the past 4 months.

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan premier thats power steering went out I found out the part has been recalled on the 2011 model but not the 2010 model and it's the same exact part so now the 2011 has been recalled but not the 2010 and I'm out over 600 dollars + to fix it.

Power steering fault. Steering wheel locks up.

Oct 2019 I went to my dealer to have a tire pressure sensor replaced due to a warning message. The sensor was replaced but the warning message remained. The mechanic did further checking and said I needed a Smart junction box which can affect many things such as lights turn signals heat seat belts etc. Ford said they could not repair my car because they could not get this part. I recently inquired if it was available and there is still no eta for this part. I had to pay them up front even though none are available. Is there a way that you can get this part expedited at Ford or issue a recall as it affects warnings and safety components. This part has to be programmed by the dealer so I do not think a salvage yard part is feasible not really sure.

Driving and steering fault showed on dash. Steering failed became dangerous to control vehicle.

The passenger rear tail light has gone out on my 2010 Mercury Milan hybrid. Just had the left one replaced 5 months ago to the tune of $900 and the dealership is asking for the same for this one. Seriously, a $900 tail light?.

For years I have sporadically gotten a "power steering sensor fault" displayed when I would start the car. You could barely turn the steering wheel. In searching the owner's manual, owners are advised to turn off the ignition, wait briefly then restart the car (how this issue got into the owner's manual and could not be addressed and eliminated, I don't understand). This would correct the fault and the power steering would function normally. Fortunately it never happened while driving. In the last week this display was occurring more frequently until on 5/16/21 it would not go away and I could not drive the car. Today, 5/20/21 I got it towed to the local Ford dealer. The situation will probably not be diagnosed until next week. From reading everything on the internet, this is a routine safety concern, and a recall for the control module has been issued on the 2011-2015 Milan models. Unfortunately my car is 2010 and is not included in the recall. Aren't we talking about an identical control module as to those that have been recalled?? then why wouldn't the NHTSA not be concerned about this very similar safety issue??!! I'm thankful this didn't happed to me while driving!.

Power steering hydraulic locked on me twice while driving first time I was on express way and hit wall 2nd time I knew what was about to happen and of course steering locked and I almost crashed again this needs to be addressed because my research shows me folks have died from this but because it's not enough deaths it won't be recalled this is crazy why recall 2011 that has same part and not 2010.

I was driving the short distance home when my vehicle began to shake back and forth. The error light came on stating that the power steering needed to be checked. When I turned off the car and turned it back on, the car no longer allowed the power steering to drive. The electric rack and pinion for my 2010 Mercury Milan needs to be replaced. There have been several recalls for the same problem with other Mercury Milans but my particular car does not have the same recall even with the same occurance.

Driving on parkway in huntsville alabama when the power steering default light come on and couldn't steer it at all and memorial parkway is always very busy. Couldn't even get in a turning lane to get off of the parkway. Took me two hrs to drive 10 miles and finally got it into the parking lot at the maintenance shop. Like to have never got it to a shop. Imagine a 72 yr old elderly lady trying to enter the parking lot of a maintenance shop. I really need some help to replace a power steering.

The car stalled on the highway, started up. About a mile later it stalled again. . . No warning lights came on. . . Then combusted into flames and burnt to the ground.

Left rear brake light. It works part of the time and then it does not work. Stopped several times for it not working, then it would start. Not the entire brake light is out. Part of it still lights up. This has been happening since I bought the car used about 4 years ago.

I was putting my car in park and the lights flickered a few times the car lock and unlocked a several times. I cut the car off and when I tired to open the door I count open it or let the windows down. No windows or doors would open. I waited 5 to 10 minutes. I turned the car own and all the doors and windows worked except drivers door. Unable to open drivers door from inside. I have to rule down window to open driver door.

I was in motion merging onto a two lane highway. I ran over two consecutive manhole covers while lightly braking to see if it was clear. But when I went to brake because it wasn't clear to merge onto the highway I had barely any brake! thankfully the car in front of me was able to merge or I would have hit him. After that I had a very soft brake pedal. Left it in a parking lot until after work. So hours later, the brakes seemed fine. But I didn't trust it. Had it towed and Ford told me it was the abs hcu and ecu and that they are known for this problem. Especially after traveling on a rough roadway. I had to go back to the road the next day because I couldn't remember it being a rough road. Then I saw the two consecutive manhole covers. I ran them over in my husbands truck and sure enough, even his truck jolted from them, enough for the abs to engage. This is a horrible issue and I'm amazed that Ford has not made it a recall yet! what will it take!? the repair was quite expensive. And I was out of a car for two whole weeks! it took almost a week for the part to come in. Not sure if that was the dealers bs or Ford not having the parts readily available for an issue they already know exists. This has not been my first Ford product but it sure may be my last!.

Rear passenger side tail light stays illuminated even while brake paddle is engaged. . . Basically I have no brake lights. . . Also fuel recalls still hasnt been done on my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power while driving highway speeds. The engine stalled and the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was scheduled for an appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was included in a customer service program concerning the electric throttle body replacement. The contact was uncertain if the voluntary service campaign from the manufacturer would provide a solution. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

A few weeks ago, I had a hard time steering my car at an intersection. When I tried steering, the car would shake as I turned. Although the roads were wet, my tires are relatively new, so I new it wasn't the traction. I turned off the electronic steering assistance and it started turning again. A few days ago, I was turning, the roads were damp, but not wet and I had my steering assist on (it goes on by default). When I tuned, the car went the opposite way of the direction I was turning. I had to turn off my steering assist in order to regain control of my car. There were no alarms, notice or alerts on my control panel. Also, when it's been a hot day or a cold day, the car won't start.

Electronic throttle body (etb) indicator is illuminated. I have a sudden loss of power while driving, my accelerator stops working or has extremely limited power, and my engine idles roughly.

Tl takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that the transmission wrench icon remained illuminated for months. The dealer (natchez Ford Lincoln, 14 sgt prentiss dr, natchez, ms 39120, (601) 445-0076) refused to provide a solution and suggested that the vehicle be diagnosed and repaired. The contact stated that there was a remedy for an unknown transmission recall that was not performed on the vehicle; however, the dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per the recall. In addition, the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The dealer stated that parts were unavailable. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Took car in to Ford dealer for servicing per recall 15s34 on 4/27/16. Dealer notified me that brake lights are; ". . . . Stuck on when parking lights or headlights are on -- they work if headlights are off . . . . ". (see noughton Ford aurora, CO invoice # focs418452). This is a hazard!!!!!.

January 15 2016 I was driving my 2010 milian, went to make a left turn and my steering went out, then my dashboard lit up saying service power steering and advance trac system needs attention, then my passenger front tire blew. Ive seen where the 2011 milian has had a recall on this same issue that my 2010 milian is now having, I havent been able to drive my car since January and I still have 3 years of payments on a car I can't drive. So please send out a recall notice for the 2010 milian so I can start driving my car again.

The tail light assembly burned out after an unusually short period of time, they are led type and lasted only 5 years. Led's with this short life span should be considered defective as there are numerious incidents being reported about this problem.

The driver's side break light is hyderactive when my headlights are on. When the headlights are off the break light works fine. This seems to be a popular issue with many Mercury milians. The part was 377. 00 to replace it and I have no had the car a full year. Also my driver's side actuator in my headlight went as well. My first car purchased ever and it was Ford and I have had nothing but issue with the car. Disappointing.

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan. The Milan is equipped with led tail and brake lights, unlike it's sibling, the Ford fusion. Recently, I discovered after being pulled over by the police that the the brake lights were not operating. I went to the dealer's service department, only to discover that the tail light/brake light/turn signal assembly is one sealed, unserviceable unit. There was no warning and leds do not burn out this quickly. To add insult to injury, Ford will not cover this under their premuimcare esp warranty, because they consider it a consumable object like tires. So on top of almost getting killed by being rear-ended in a collision, I got the privilege of paying $1000. 00 to replace both sealed assemblies. This is a common failure in these vehicles and a hazard on the road which occurs without warning. Please recall these vehicles and make Ford fix this dangerous issue. Thank you,.

Someone noticed my rear passenger tail light on my 2010 Mercury Milan was abnormally bright and that brake light did not work. So I investigate and find that I have to replace the whole assembly instead of just a bulb. Omg. I have been a loyal Ford owner since 1985. The cost to replace is over $600? unbelievable. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.

Driver side tail lamp assembly is not functional seems the led portion of the taillight assembly needs to be replaced at a cost of $400-500 from the dealer. This is the second tailight in the 2 years of ownership that it has had to be replaced. Very poor design and safety concern of mine since this is no longer a $2. 00 bulb replacement but an entire taillight assembly.

Left rear taillight does not illuminate on depression of the brake pedal. Right rear taillight flickers but fully illuminates on depression of the brake pedal. As the lights are led and encased in a housing, the replacement cost approaches $400 per unit.

Right rear tail lamp / brake light assembly inop again. This is my 3 assembly that has failed in 15 months. It is an led assembly, it costs $375. 00 for the part. You can't replace a bulb. This should be covered under a safety recall.

Driver side rear brake light staying illuminated constantly as if the brake is pressed and nearly caused crash (I had two small children sitting in the back of my Milan), had the vehicle behind me not went into the ditch a collision would have been inevitable. Please look into this problem as it has the potential to cause bodily harm and injury to the occupants. I had no idea there was a problem with constant illumination until this point. Upon scheduling an appointment at the Ford dealership and doing a little research I see this is a frequently reported problem but no recall has yet been issued nor an investigation. Also since learning of this problem this morning and observing the vehicle brake lights there is also a flicker of lights every so often.

Initially it began as reduced power to the engine and the wrench/check engine light illuminating. However, after that, I would get surges of power to the engine and the car would jump forward. The car remained driveable, but clearly unsafe. I could not with any confidence continue to drive the car especially on the highway which I do daily.

Just drove home from the dealer after buying this used 2010 Mercury Milan with 26000 miles and when I backed into my parking space I saw the reflection on the wall behind me that was no difference in the light with or without my foot on the brake. I called the dealer next day and they said to bring it back leave it for a day. I have found online that the led lights have a problem. I have not returned it yet because I live 80 miles from the dealer and need a ride home. I hope to this week.

My car stalled suddenly in moderate 35 mph traffic on 8/16/14. I was nearly rear ended while I had to restart my car as there was nowhere to pull over. On 8/17/14, my car stalled suddenly after traveling . 5 mile from home (at approx. 20 mph), so I returned to my house. On 8/18 at 7 am, I spoke to sheehy Ford in richmond, va, and was given an appointment for throttle body repair to occur on 8/19 under their "customer satisfaction program" 13b17. I was told that I was not in danger of getting stranded, so I had my husband follow me to work on 8/18. The car stalled again on 8/18 while traveling at 40 mph. Rather than replace the faulty part which they did have in stock, Ford merely recalibrated the powertrain since the check engine light was not lit when I dropped off the car for service, even though I notified them twice of the multiple incidents (via phone on 8/18 and in person on 8/19). I have filed a complaint with Ford since the contaminated internal motor contacts of the throttle body remain in my vehicle.

Rear passenger led tail light flickers intermittenty when headlights are on and brake light on this lamp illuminates though no pressure on the brake pedal. Per my research, Ford is charging customers for this repair (up to $500 per light) though it is a safety issue. Flickering light distracting to other drivers as well as unsafe as brake illuminates randomly though I am not braking.
