Tail Light Switch problems of the 2011 Mercury Milan

Ive had loss of power steering . When car comp reset I had power steering again. Power steering rack was just replaced Feb 2017 tail light replaced. . Flickered on n off like strobe light. Airbag light on.

Right rear tail light not working propery. Running light (right bottom) is working but all other leds have failed. This is a replace all part costing over $300. This has happened on my other Milan - luckily before the warranty ran out. Seems to be an issue with this model and can be a safety hazard.

Break lights stayed on /illuminated when head lights were on thus having no break lights at night. Luckily , my husband was following behind me in his vehicle and noticed I had no break lights. Dealer replaced both tail light assemblies due to an electrical short. ($1100) this is dangerous driving at night. Manufacture needs to recall their faulty tail lights.

I was made aware of my tail light not functioning when I applied the brakes. When I tried to replace the bulb, I soon learned that the brake light is led and a sealed unit, making it virtually impossible to repair. The replacement unit is astronomically expensive, prices between $150-$350 used. If the unit had a replaceable bulb, then I wouldn't even be writing this. I understand that nothing will most likely be done about this, but it is worth noting that this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

Led tail lights failed for the second time. The cost of the replacement tail lights is astronomical at 376. 00 each. There was no collision, no water intrusion. They just failed.

Passenger side tail light went out. These are led's and not suppose to burn out. In looking for this problem with Milan's on the internet I found a number of incidents referring to the same thing. Cost of repair is $400 plus. Called Ford customer service and they know nothing about this problem.

The tail lights doesn't come on when the night lights come on. The brake lights are faulty as well. The brake lights flicker. They just went out.

Was stopped by a policeman because he said my right taillight was going crazy, blinking, acting wrong for a braking process. I had no indication that my right tail light did not work and also that my right signal light did not work. There is no indication that the blinker was not working. Prior to being stopped by the policeman, I had a driver shake their head at me when I was trying to change lanes to a right lane and she would not let me in to exit right. I did not know that the right signal was not working. This is an extremely unsafe condition because the car doe not register any indication that the light is not working for the brake and also for the signal. In addition, Ford will not replace these light assemblies without charging for them, which cost $500 each. It is not a simple bulb replacement, but instead an entire tail light assembly for $500. I had mine replaced but only because the dealer argued with them and I had to pay $100 deductible for my extended warranty. The dealer told me that if the left tail light goes out, this cost will not be covered by Ford and I will have to pay the entire cost of $500. Just the fact that this is a serious safety issue, I would think this would be a recall event. This tail light issue is also occurring on other Ford cars, including the Lincoln mkz.

Sarting in September of 2013 on our mecruy Milan the right tail light was blinking like a strobe light when the headlights where on. ( tail light on, brake light flashing) this lasted for a few weeks then seemed to disappear, starting a few weeks ago the blinking returned on the right side followed by the left side. Currently the right side is non useable (tail light and brake light are both on all the time) left side stopped working completely this last problem has progressed quickly it all stopped working in just a few days. I went to the dealership to get it fixed they told me it was going to be about 1000. 00 to fix the two tail lights.

Right rear tail light started flickering bright to dim. After a couple of days it went out completely. Was replaced under extended warranty - but cost would have been over $350 dollars which makes it cost prohibitive for some I am sure (why should a "bulb" going out cost so much to fix). Very poor design and even worse manufacturing of part.
