general problems of the 2010 Mercury Milan - part 1

Check engine light is on mechanic says it's a fuel tank issue.

I collided with three parked vehicles and my airbags did not deploy causing me to hit my head.

Started my car up and it said power steering failed. . I cut the car off and waited then it went off. . . As I was headed to work the airbag light came on for the passenger side. . I pulled into the store turned the car off a while and started it back up the light went off before leaving work the power steering message popped back up I once again turned off the car for a while. . . I manage to make it home but a mile from my house the airbag light once again came on. . Please check into this. . I love my life and the life of my loved ones driving like this is very dangerous and this is my only means of transportation.

My check engine light came on and was checked and the fuel vapor canister purge valve is not operating properly.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that the fuel inlet and check engine warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline), which she received. The vehicle was serviced by holman Ford (3641 NJ-42, turnersville, NJ 08012, 888-449-0296), but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and stated that nothing could be done since the vehicle had already been serviced. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Well for starters its throwing a code saying that I have a small fuel leak some where and the 2 is one day I had a flat and after I changed the tire the power steering went out and not only that but the car has a heavy vibration in it and while driving it want to take off either left or right which ended up with me running off the road twice already.

My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway I got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as I was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as I was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while I was driving from one second to the next I got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.

I received a recall notice for my vehicle and I looked it up with my VIN number and it said I had a recall on my vehicle. I'm uploading the notice.

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 the check fuel warning indicator illuminated and there was an abnormal fuel odor. The vehicle was taken to auto zone were it was diagnosed that the canister purge valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to the quirk Ford dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck would need to be replaced. A year prior to the failures, the vehicle was taken to be repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was inspected and found to have no leaks. The software was updated. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part for the repair was on backorder for NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 170,000.

Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 mph, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When I got home after a few restarts I hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! it was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! after reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! a design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for Ford !!! I have read too many complaints about the same problem. My car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.

Stalls (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 mph) then sudden surges.

Takata recall . We were notified years ago, still passenger side air bag not replaced. Now Ford is telling us not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. Ford had ignored all our correspondence. It's rediculous, will never purchase another Ford product.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. While operating the vehicle, the service light would illuminate. After refueling, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel purge valve was faulty and would erroneously remain open. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was inspected per NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system) in April of 2016, but was no longer eligible for the repair. The contact indicated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 108,000.

The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system gasoline) and stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to repair the vehicle. The dealer (stevens jersey city Ford, 740 NJ-440, jersey city, NJ 07304) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

While passing three semi trucks in the third lane of a highway at 70 mph, the engine power cut out. Navigating across three lanes of highway through multiple vehicles was terrifying. My life was placed with in jeopardy, yet the Ford motor company refuses to recognize its throttle body control problem as a safety issue.

(1) may 5, 2015: in traffic 65mph on MA rt3s, engine "blubbered" then died in left lane. Succeeded not being hit by vehicles, parked on shoulder. Wrench light lit. Engine finally started and ran ok after 15 minutes; (2) June 6, 2015: pulling into 99 restaurant, quincy, MA, car suddenly died, wrench light lit. Car was not completely within the lot. Car pushed into lot with the help of three males. Car started after c. 12 minutes. ; (3) June 24, 2015: exiting betsy's diner, falmouth, MA on rt28 in traffic, car blubbered then died, wrench light lit. Black Dodge ram narrowly missed us! car started with 3-5 minutes; (4) October 2, 2015: on MA tpk, I-90w in fast traffic, car lost power, blubbered, then died in front of the charlton state police station. Engine re-started within 12 minutes, ran roughly for a few minutes, then cleared, ran ok; (5) October 7, 2015: 1315, engine shook then died two blocks after leaving car wash on centre street, quincy, MA, wrench lit. Narrow street. Lit the hazard flashers, exited car. After 15 minutes re-entered car which started after 3 attempts; (6) October 7, 2015: 1405: within a block after leaving our house, the car engine again blubbered then died, wrench lit. Pulled to the curb, sat for five minutes. Car was restarted. Three times I have brought my Milan to our local automotive guru who attached his scanner and conformed 2111 code and 2112 codes (2). I purchased the car from enterprise sales rentals at 24,000 miles, now 58,000 miles. Never have received a recall notice of any type. Research indicates a number of tsbs related to throttle body issues but no notice from fomoc or local dealer. There is potential for being killed in this car. How to get the car properly repaired?.

Driving down the car stalled and sputtered pulled over and it restarted fine drink half mile and did it again almost go hit by a car this tim I happen 5 months ago and I was almost rear ended was told my Ford dealership that is the throttle body Ford issued a extended warranty but will not replace it unless the car fails which I think is bs if my family is hurt I'll be filing suit against Ford and the dealership.

While driving my car on the interstate in a construction zone the engine lost all power and dropped to around 1000 rpm no matter if I pressed on the accelerator or not. I was nearly rear-ended by a semi and there was no emergency lane for me to pull the car over to. It costed for about 3/4 of a mile until I could pull behind some orange barriers. After shutting it off and calling roadside assistance I restarted the car and it was fine. I took back roads home without incident. The next day while going 65 on the interstate it happened again but I was prepared for a problem and was able to get to an emergency lane to turn the car off. It restarted fine and drove fine again until the next day when it happened at 20mph on a city street. The dealer has had it for 3 days now and have not identified the issue.

First of all this has happened on several occasions. Driving down the interstate the car will stall and begin to shake and puts a wrench icon on the dash, the vehicle has no response to the acceleration pedal. I have to pull over and sh u think the car off a few minutes and then go again. It has also happened several times while pulling across traffic from a stop, one time nearly getting me hit from oncoming traffic. It is impossible to tell when or where this will happen. I have called Ford and was denied a repair because my VIN was not on the recall list for the throttle body even though it has the same problem as the ones covered. I have had the diagnostic test and received codes that match as well.

The vehicle suddenly stalled while driving at highway speeds (55mph) in heavy traffic. Rapid deceleration and many dashboard lights came on. I was able to change to the right lane and then bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder safely, avoiding an accident, as the car was in rapid deceleration and stepping on the gas was unresponsive. There was no acceleration, or engine noise or response when I stepped on the gas pedal while in drive position and the key in the on position. I turned the car off for several minutes, wondering what to do. I then turned the key back on, and the car was able to drive. I took side roads home and then scheduled an appointment at the selling manufacturer dealership. The defect was in the throttle body? they would not cover the $500 repair under the new vehicle warranty (out on time), the $1700 extended warranty I purchased (not covered part), the emissions warranty (not covered part) or the hybrid warranty ( not covered part), or any recall, or goodwill service plan or service bulletin repairs. Then I found out there was a settlement with the NHTSA for similar incidents that Ford agreed to extend the warranty on the throttle body for 150,000 miles or 10 years. (this vehicle is a 2010 with just over 20,000 miles. They said it is not covered under the settlement because it a hybrid and they were not included in the settlement. I think that this premature failure of an item that they will replace if defective in 150,000 miles or ten years as part of a settlement to avoid a recall and associated public disclosure, should be covered under the agreement. I have the part from the dealer. Even though there are fewer hybrids on the road as a statistic, it only takes one failure to cause a tragic result. I can send the part for investigation to determine if there were not enough suppliers and parts identified prior to the settlement.

I was merging onto a highway going about 60 mph. My car suddenly went into an idle and the wrench icon came on in the indicator dash. Luckily, I was able to pull over to the shoulder and no vehicle was behind me. I turned off the car and was then able to accelerate. Later in the day, I was again driving on the highway at about 65 mph. When the same thing happened. I then went directly to a Ford dealer. They immediately knew what the problem was and said Ford had extended their warranty on this problem to 120,000 miles. This is ridiculous! I am sure someone will and probably have been fatally injured because of this issue. There needs to be a recall!!.

Immediately after entering a main highway, the engine seemed to die yet idled around 1000 rpm. The dash lights came on, the engine sputtered, but wouldn't increase speed and vehicle wouldn't move more than 2 or 3 miles per hour. After getting it off road and turning ignition off for a couple of minutes, it started and drove fine.

Throttle body failed without warning. Car immediately lost power and had no accelerator response and would only idle. This would have been dangerous had the vehicle not been in an area where it was immediately safe to pull over. Throttle body was changed, the second time it's happened to this vehicle.

While traveling at 55mph my vehicle stalled, lost all power and came to a stop at the side of the road. It was restarted several times each time with the wrench symbol illuminated. Was only able to drive home at 45mph and the car bucked and stalled two times. Will be calling Ford for repair. Luckily I signed up for the extended service plan when I purchased this vehicle as a certified pre owned car at the dealership. This is obviously a throttle body issue which I will be explaining to the tech's when I bring it in for repair. And more importantly, this is a major safety issue for the occupants of this car and other cars involved if an accident were to occur.

Driving thru town at approx 30 mph the vehicles warning lights flashed for check engine and the throttle control warning (wrench) illuminated. The vehicle would not respond to any activation of the gas peddle and drifted to idle power. Not understanding what went wrong, I shut the car down and restarted it to clear the faults. I re-enetered traffic and proceeded about 50 ft before it happened again. I proceeded to follow the same reset process and was able to limp the car home. The car was towed away and repaired by replacing the electronic throttle body. Research shows that since 2004 Ford has known that this problem exists and that the engine design default is to bring the car down to idle power. Internet chat boards have stories of this happening on highways at high rates of speed. Ford claims there is no recall because the government (you guys) have not required them to do so despite the failure mode, and public safety implications, being exactly the same as NHTSA action number pe13031. Ford fixed the problem recently but did not scrap old defective inventory and refuses to fix those suspect parts on our roads. They have calculated the costs and choose to risk public safety instead of a recall.

I was driving on the highway, on my way home when my car seemed liked it stalled. The wrench image on the dash board appeared, and I coasted my car off of the highway because I was coming up to an exit. Once my car slowed down to about 10-15 mph the car seemed like it was actually jumping, or bucking and trying to drive at a very slow pace. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, and shut the care off. I restarted the car, and the samething happened with the motor running rough, and the image of the wrench on my dash appearing. I shut the car off again, and let it sit for a couple of minutes, and restarted the car while holding the throttle down, and the car seemed to function fine after that. This also happened the next day on my way to work same exact scenario just a different place on the highway.

Twice while travelling at low speed, it dropped into what appeared to be a limp home mode. A restart returned the vehicle to somewhat normal operation, but it seemed to be running just ever so slightly, rough.

Sudden loss of acceleration or ability to drive. Immediate display of icon showing mechanical problem. Towed to dealer, where throttle body failure was diagnosed. This incident occurred on a treacherous stretch of I-40 entering north carolina, where shoulder is very narrow, and we barely escaped injury and/or death.

Driving down the highway through town and vehicle died multiple times in the middle of the street causing me to narrowly avoid an accident with my three small children in the car. Upon further inspection of the throttle body assembly, I discovered that the problem is a $20. 00-$60. 00 electric motor that Ford uses to run the throttle body the throttle body is not strong enough to do the job for a very long period of time causing the throttle body to go out at around 50000 - 60000 miles. I was a mechanic for Ford for 7 years before joining the army and have seen this issue with this exact model throttle body plenty of times. Ford could easily sell the replacement electric motor for the price listed above, but instead they prefer to price gouge their customers by forcing them to pay over $200. 00 for the whole new throttle body assembly. Also according to our local Ford parts dealer it is such a common part that needs replaced that the keep 3-4 on hand at all times.

While driving on a freeway (middle lane) at ~ 50 mph the "wrench" light cane on and the vehicle slowed to 20mph. Very unsafe.

Driving freeway at 77 mph when vehicle suddenly started slowing down. Managed to get car over to shoulder of road and tried to get off ramp but wouldn't make it. No lights came on and felt like it was still running at idle. Stepped on gas but wouldn't accelerate in drive or park. Shut vehicle off and started twice before I could get response from stepping on gas. Then took off like nothing wrong. Very dangerous and lucky traffic was light. Had one other incident with car doing same thing but was sitting at traffic light.

While driving down the highway experienced a total loss of acceleration. Car still maintained an idle but no matter how many times I pressed the pedal to the floor it would not recognize me doing so. (kind of like and older vehicle with a cable just breaking). Fortunately it did not effect steering or braking but it was quite challenging to get to the side of the road. If I shut of vehicle and restarted gas pedal works fine again. I immediately contacted a master Ford tech that I know personally and he informed me that more than likely it was the electronic throttle body that there has been many complaints and replacements done on that particular engine recently in their shop. Due to the lack of funds I continued driving the vehicle and have experienced the same problem a minimum of 8 times in 3 weeks. I no longer will allow my wife to drive car until I can repair.

My 2010 Mercury Milan premier stalled - check engine came on - I was unable to move forward as it seemed it was trying to move forward but would not - had the code checked and it was p2112 - throttle actuator-control system - stuck closed permanent was the message for this code - was not expecting this at all - was driving perfect and this happened suddenly - my concern is had this happened on an interstate highway - what would I have done? from what I read this is very dangerous - and is there a recall for this safety concern?.
