Electrical System Problems of Mercury Milan - part 2

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.

Was driving home on the expressway where the speed limit is 65 and vehicle wouldn't go over 55 with rpm's at 3000. All the while having the wrench idiot light on. Hoping there is recall because I can't afford a new vehicle or even for it to be fixed.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 71,000. Djr.

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.

The left rear brake light is not functioning. This light is not a normal incandescent bulb. It is an led that is not owner-serviceable. The only fix is that the entire taillight assembly needs to be replaced by the dealer at a cost of approximately $400. Any buyer's expectation is that when a light bulb burns out, we should be able to replace it ourselves for fifty cents. Since this 50-cent item is now unexpectedly $400, the net effect is that all owners will continue to drive around with two of three, one of three or no brake lights at all. This should be an immediate 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.

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.

Turned my car on one morning and a wrench indicator light came on followed by the check engine light upon driving to my repair shop to get problem looked at noticed a significant decrease in acceleration power and vehicle was in "limp mode" my mechanic told me. Looked up the issue and found it was a common issue with my make and model and that a complaint has been submitted for a recall of the throttle body on my vehicle and many others so I am submitting my complaint to help get this issue put into recall status as the part is fairly expensive and I don't believe we as a consumer should have to pay out of pocket for a defect from faulty parts installed on the vehicle at the factory.

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.

The passenger side led brake light assembly is constantly illuminated as if the brakes are applied but they are not. Makes a safety hazard as it is distracting to drivers that are following and they may misjudge my braking. This is the second assembly that I have had go faulty. The first was the day I bought it but the dealer replaced the $400 part for free.

The drivers side brake light has intermitent operation. The lamp cannot be replaced like a regular turn signal lamp.

Traveling to army national guard drill during the early morning hours is when this occured. I was going speed limit while turning right onto an onramp which leads to the highway. There was a weird vibration in the sterring wheel and it failed and could not be turned back from the right position. I am strong and I could not move it. This malfunction cause my car to smash into a tree. I was knocked out, head injruy, and very bad back/shoulder injury. I was taken by 911 to the hospital and I have been treated for multiple things. Ford is yet to repond to anything or to offer some sort of settlement for this which is absolutly their fault. I have got a lawyer to keep sending demands to Ford. Now, I saw on the news that this is actually a problem they are now finding out about and claiming no one has been seriously hurt from it. . . Well this is not true as I did. I am also seeking a negligence claim because a week prior, they replaced a faulty transmission in my car which also could have lead to this. Hopefully your agency does some serious investigation.

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!!.

I purchased a Mercury Milan with 13k miles on it. This vehicle was a certified pre-owned car with a full warranty. After driving it 10k miles, the right rear tail light does not work and the whole right rear taillight assembly must be replaced. This part in not under warranty and will cost $219. To replace. This seems to be a recurring problem for Ford based on owner comments and should be recalled and replaced by Ford at no charge to its customers. This is definitely a safety hazard as the person behind you will not see any lights indicating you are stopping or slowing down.

I am the owner of a 2011 Mercury Milan less than four years old and with almost 25,000 miles on it. Recently the left rear tail light / brake light assembly burned out on me. I took my car to a local Ford dealer and they told me that there is no way to repair the tail light / brake light assembly, and that the solution is to replace the tail light / brake light assembly. I had it replaced for over $400. 00 I am disappointed in the life span of this important piece of safety equipment. I am also disappointed that Ford would design this important piece of safety equipment in such a way that it cannot be repaired. I would like the federal gov't to look into this issue.

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.

When the headlights switch is in the on or paking lights only, the right and left brake lights come on at full brightness. When brakes pedal is depressed, there is no change in brightness of right and left brake lights and the center rear brake light illuminates. When this was taken in for a required NY state inspection, the vehicle failed due to this issue. The mechanic working on the vehicle has stated that this is a very common issue with this year, make and model. Dealer has been contacted and stated the cost would be in excess of $1,000 to repair this issue. This is a safety issue that is most likely to lead to rear end collisions and is common in several different vehicles of this year, make and model. Manufacturer should be recalling vehicles of this year, make and model to repair this issue.

While pulling out of a parking lot into the street, the electronic throttle body failed, putting the car into a "safe mode" with extremely limited power. Was able to use reverse to move car back into parking lot. I know that this exact issue (loss of power due to electronic throttle body failure) has caused a recall for some Ford and Mercury models, including the Milan, but it does not yet include my car's model year. From my experience, the recall should be expanded.

Takata plus numerous other recalls: powertrain control module, "contamination on internal motor contacts of the throttle body" rear tail lights replaced, arm rest replaced as it became detached, battery replaced at 23k miles and does not hold a charge and consistently needs to be recharged. This happened at a light in a major and very busy intersection. I went and the car did not move and almost got rear-ended. It additionally over excelerated on its own. I had to get my car towed to dealer as the car died due to failed throttle.

I was driving about 40 miles per hour and then all of the sudden the car stop working properly. The wrench lit up on the dashboard. I decided to pull to the side and turn off the car. After turning off the car, I turned it on again and I was able to drive for about 4 miles. Then, when it was time to drive it up a hill, it did the same.

Advancetrac and power steering warning lights came on; lost all power steering. This is the third occurrence of the same problem. Dealer previously replaced a fuse, then the power steering unit. Will take it to the dealer for the third repair.

The tailights never changed illumination, when the headlights where on. When the headlights were not on they illuminated according to brake petal pressing. Was driving at night with headlights on nd was rear ended due to the other driver knowing I was stopping. Thr other driver was hurt along with her passenger. Next morning to vehicle in to dealership was told it needed a heaglight control swith and an rear tail light assemblies. Not bulds but assemliea as these are led. 435$ for eqch taillight and 50 for control switch.

On 5 different occasions during the past week while driving between 70 and 80 mph on the freeway the vehicle stalled and went into limp mode. On one occasion this nearly caused an accident as the vehicle stopped in the middle lane of a three lane highway. No warning lights displayed other than "limp mode light" when the vehicle engine goes to idle. Upon shutting vehicle off and restarting, vehicle behaves as normal with no indicator/warning lights. Took vehicle to shop to get check engine codes, vehicle shows no error codes.

The initial incident in November, 2013 was the failure of the passenger side rear led tail light assembly. This resulted in the brake lights not operating when the brakes were depressed. A police officer stopped the car for a warning due to the brake light failure. Mileage on the car at the time was 12,700 miles. Due to the safety hazard the repair was needed. The entire assembly, not just a single bulb needed to be replaced. Approximately 10 months later in September, 2014 the driver side rear led tail light is now malfunctioning in the same way. Brake lights are again flickering and not working when the brakes are depressed. Mileage on the car at the time of this next failure was 16,100 miles. The dealer quoted price to repair is over $450! this car is garage kept, well maintained and has not been in involved in any accidents. Ford should fix this defect under a safety recall free of charge to customers!.

Intermittent electrical connectivity and issue with throttle. Car has had problems since we received it in November 2010. Into walker Ford clearwater 4 times recorded - 2 other times not. Service department has replaced throttle body 11/12 and completed recall 13b17 (6/2014) but the same exact issues persist. Service department stated at least 4 times that they cannot replicate the issue or find the issue. Called customer service week of October 14, 2014 and was assigned jolynn legaul (866-631-3788 - ext 77722) who we talked to at length and send a follow up email (October 16, 2014) . Called twice and not returned our calls. Ms. Legaul said she would be back to us in a few days with a solution and have a service department prepared to fix the car. It has now been over 15 days since the original conversation. We are afraid to drive the car because,it has sudden reduction of engine power, revs into a high gear with no movement while traveling at 30-55 mph, and twice has died in the middle of intersection. Same issues as described in NHTSA action number pe13003.

I turned the corner today and my car suddenly lost power and sputtered and was difficult to steer. I managed to roll to the curb and front end started shaking so I immediately turned it off. Turned the ignition again and it struggled to start but did and then immediately repeated the above scenario. Fire station was on the corner and luckily three firemen saw what happened and drive down to help push my car into a culdesac. Waited 90 min for a tow to the dealer and now stuck with paying for a rental. I paid for an extended warranty and will be very upset if this isn't covered! very dangerous and I don't know that I'll feel safe driving this car anymore! a recall needs to be issued!!!!!.

When driving at any speed and unexpectedly, the car loses power and there is no warning this is going to happen. I was thankfully on an fm road when car lost power - has happened daily and this time grandkids in the car. However, am a senior citizen and have to think quickly to get off the road - this time there was no shoulder and had to poke to a turn and drift down - I have read this has been reported to Ford and they say the car still has power enough to get safely off the road and not a risk??? surely they are kidding me - this is a huge risk and I bought this vehicle in August 2013 and it if oct and has been happening for awhile - I do not think I should pay for a repair after reading how many Mercurys are affected obviously with the same exact problem - the safety risk is getting rear-ended because when it happens traffic is right behind you.
