2 Other Fuel System problem of the 2007 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 05/05/2023

The wrench light came on in the car and my obd sensor will not pick up a code on what it could be. I was driving it yesterday to merge onto a highway when suddenly I couldn’t pass 15 mph and was stuck witch cars beeping and zooming around me. I had to shut the car off wait and turn it back on. The amount of complaints I’ve seen about the same exact issue happening to people in the same exact car is ridiculous to not be a recall. I am almost certain it’s a throttle bottle issue. This needs to be looked into and investigated before Ford comes across a lawsuit.

11 Other Fuel System problem of the 2008 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 03/06/2018

Pulled 2008 Milan in parking lot, put in park, engine began to race, tapped gas pedal, engine returned to normal. Car started fine, driven short distance, I stopped at stop sign. Put foot on gas pedal, car began 'limp home' mode, was able to pull to curb. Wrench light appeared. Shut car off a few minutes. Started fine, wrench light on, was able to drive few blocks to get home. Next day started engine 3 times, each stalling within seconds. Never had issues with car. Purchased precertified in 2011, 52,0000 mi. On it. Will own 7 yrs. May 2018. I put 1000 mi. Yrly. On car. Odometer now under 59,500. On 3/9/18 car towed to dealership (where I purchased it). Car sat in lot 10 days before looked at. Finally, checked and diagnosed. Installed new throttle body. Re-tested. Problem. Installed new accelerator. Re-test. Problem. Codes appearing. I contacted Ford motor CO. In michigan. Told to keep calling dealership. I've spoken to numerous staff already & asked for loaner car. Not granted. I did internet research & found lawsuit against Ford about 'limp home' mode involving throttle body & computer sensors defect on Ford, Mercury & Lincoln brought on by nccc. Ford not forced to recall this defect involving 1. 6 million cars. Many internet sites have shown complaints with this issue. It is a major safety hazard! numerous owners wrote to validate car repaired only to experience same 'limp home' incident return. Stories involve highway driving when loss of acceleration occurred. Someone has to be killed by this manufacturing defect before it's back to forcing Ford to own up to neglect to make a profit. My experience leaves me without a car, cancellations of appts, relying on cabs or friend to shop. This is a serious safety issue. It's now 4 weeks without a car. Am told warranty expired. Can I please be directed to proper government agency with jurisdiction to help me resolve this?.

Failure Date: 09/08/2016

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.

27 Other Fuel System problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 07/18/2015

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.

I got over 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder & checked the car. I didn't see any obvious problems so I turned it off waited a few seconds & started it back up. The wrench light went off but the check engine light came on. I got off the exit & turned around to come home. The car did fine. I took the car to my local Ford dealer for a diagnostic test & they said the throttle body was failing & would eventually leave me stranded. I am trying to get this issue taken car of soon. I've seen several other people with the same issues as mine online with nc cars & would like to know if there is any recall info regarding this subject. I haven't been able to work bc this is my only car & im scared to get stranded.

30 Other Fuel System problem of the 2011 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 07/30/2014

Vehicle lost most engine power. Could only be driven at low speed. Turned ignition off and then re-started. Vehicle then seemed ok until it did it again. . . . . . And again and again. Took vehicle to dealership where they replaced some valve and gave the car back to us. Car did not make it 2 miles before it exhibited the initial problem. In other words "they fixed nothing for the price of around $500. 00. " the vehicle is now going back to the DE. . . . Stealership.

31 Other Fuel System problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 07/10/2014

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.

32 Other Fuel System problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 06/11/2014

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.

33 Other Fuel System problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 06/02/2014

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!!.

34 Other Fuel System problem of the 2009 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 05/31/2014

While driving often times my vehicle reduces speed drastically, while pressing on the gas. This is very dangerous especially when on the highway because of the sudden reduction in speed. Most of my driving is done on the highway. It takes a long time for the vehicle to pick up speed again. Also it does this when I am stopped at a red light which is also a concern for me with my child in the car. I tried to get this problem diagnosed but it drives fine while at the mechanic shop. My vehicle has been doing this since my purchase with only having 42,000 and some miles on it. My vehicle has only about 60,000 and still does this. This problem needs to be fixed.

35 Other Fuel System problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 04/23/2014

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.
