I got into the car with my one month old granddaughter and her mom and my son, the car hesitated to start, got on the expressway and tried to pick up speed and the car goes only to 55 speed and it don't pick up so I had to get off the expressway with my family because the car wasn't acting right, . Then the next thing I know the check engine light came on and the airbag came on and that tool bar on the left hand side of the dash board came on. As well as the check engine light, this is a 2006 Mercury Milan premier , I heard a lot of clicking while I was driving back home, when I tried to turn the car hesitate and another car almost hit me and my family and one month old granddaughter. I reach out to Ford and was told that they didn't have any recall in the system for my car . I don't know what to do this is so wrong , these are some of the codes that has come on the car as well p0403, p0161,p0155,p0141,p0135,p0102, p0020,p0010,p0179,p1489,p0443.

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.

Hard shifting between gears from 30 mph to 60 mph. Have to pull over sometimes. Very dangerous when entering the freeway or needed acceleration or reduction in speed in traffic situations. Have had Ford update computer with no results.

This happens with more frequency. The car studers when accelerating from a complete stop. Feels like the front tires are struggling to grip the road when the road is in fact dry and front tires are in good condition. Also tried to start and the engine started and then stalled. I had to do this three times before it started.

While driving on a 4 lane highway, my car jerked and the wrench warning light can on and no acceleration while I pressed the gas pedal. I was able to get the car to coast to safety and when I stopped the car is was jerking back. I turned the car off for a few minutes and turned it back on, it started up and ran fine. This incident happened again today while driving in town, not once but twice while I was driving 15 mph and the 2nd incident today about 30 mph. Both of these times I was able to get off the road safely, and got the car to restart and make it home 45 miles away. I am afraid to drive my car, that in heavy traffic, this could cause a serious accident.

Vehicle had two throttle body codes and lost power in two days took to c&c Ford and they won't change the part until untill the code comes up again under the Ford replacement policy does someone have to die!!.

Vehicle has very harsh jerky shift changes between 2-3 gear, took to dealership was told software upgrade was needed, after driving about a week, issue reoccured. Returned back to dealerahip was told car needed db transmission because transmission gears were worn.

Power steering recall: Ford motor company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Ford escape and Mercury mariner vehicles manufactured August 18, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. I called Ford motor company regarding my vehicle 2010 Mercury Milan premier because I had to have my power steering replaced on my vehicle. The dealership stated that I would have to call Ford and inform them that my car should be listed in the recall. When I called I was transferred to customer relations. The woman was very rude and kept repeating the same thing over and over. I explained to her I understand the protocol I just want to make sure that information regarding the call will be submitted about my vehicle power steering was serviced on my Milan and if there was anything further that I could do regarding my vehicle possibly being in the recall. Her tone of voice was very rude and she didn't seem to care about my concern. I am considering purchasing a Honda vehicle. When my power steering went out it was four occurrences 3 times on the freeway and once leaving from work. Not only was my my life and danger but the other drivers and my family members who were in the vehicle with me. So to speak with someone who does not care about my concern is very upsetting and I do not want to drive anymore Ford/Mercury vehicles.

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.

As I was driving my car, the vehicle steering became hard to steer and within minutes, the steering became non-existent. I had to put on hazards in order to avoid an a car from hitting me and to try to get to a safe place with pretty much no steering power.

I was driving on the highway at about 45 mph when engine seemed to gradually lose all power. I steered the car onto the shoulder of the road to get out of traffic and subsequently turned the car off and then re-started it, at which point it seemed to drive okay but at times still felt like it might stall. The check engine light came on, as well as the wrench light and traction warning light. The wrench and traction lights went off eventually but the check engine light continues to be on. A few days after the initial incident I was at a stop sign near my house in the vehicle and when I went to accelerate through from the stop sign there was practically no acceleration. I was able to turn around and drive back to my house but only at a speed of less than 5mph the whole way (approx 1/4 mile). As I had to go up a small hill to get to my house, the car did not have enough power to get all the way up the hill and I had to pull over again and re-start the car, at which point I was able to make it the rest of the way home.

The car has a defective throttle body actuator which is causing the car to have no acceleration or unexpected acceleration at various times.

I was driving down the hwy when my wrench light came on. All of a sudden, I lose power and can't get past 45 mph and the tachometer goes into the red. I shut off the car, call a tow truck and have it towed to the Ford dealership. They did a diagnostic and said the my 2 and 4 gears are gone and that I would need a new transmission to the tune of $7200. The car only has 89,000 miles on it and after researching online, I found that Ford has been having issues with this particular transmission.

Vehicle traveling at 55mph and wrench light came on. Vehicle engine did not stall but dropped rpms and would not respond to pressing the excelerator. Vehicle slowed to a crawl onto tne shoulder of the highway. After putting car in park and shutting off engine and then starting up again the wrench light went off and the car ran fine. This has happened several times in the past few days even on the interstate with heavy traffic behind me. . . I have almost been rearended several times while I was trying to get off the road out of traffic!!!.

I was driving on the highway going about 70mph when my car jolted. Then from there it decelerated very fast. I pushed on the gas and nothing it felt like it was in neutral with nothing happening. I quickly was able to get into the breakdown lane but due to being in the high speed lane I almost got hit by 2 cars. As I pulled over it felt like the car was about to stall. I shut the car off and waited. I turned it back on and it drove fine. About 2 months ago I had stopped at a stop sign and when I went to drive my car again felt like it was in neutral no matter how much I pressed on the gas it did not go anywhere. . . Even though it was in the drive gear. I shut it off and turned it on and it was fine. My car feels like it hesitates and bucks sometimes when I am driving also. This seems extremely dangerous seeing as I was almost in an accident yesterday on the highway. I was told I needed to see if my VIN was part of the campaign recall to get this fixed. I will say if I find out its not part of the recall even though its listed in it then I will never by a Ford or Mercury every again because it shows they could care less about how dangerous something is and its fords fault no fault of mine!.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Mercury m1lan. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle sputtered when the gas was applied and then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle did restart after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who could not diagnose the vehicle because the codes were lost when the vehicle is restarted. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000. Rg.

While driving at approximately 60 to 65mph, the car lost power and decrease speed while maintaining control of the vehicle, pull to the side of the road, car was still running and after turning off and restarting and entering the highway again problem persisted with the same results.

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.

I felt a big jolt as I was pulling out of my neighborhood. It felt like I hit something. My son even got out of the car and looked underneath. Then the next day, as I was pulling out of a grocery parking lot, it was revving up but wouldn't go, like it wasn't in gear. I stopped, put it in park for a minute, then back to drive. It started going but happened again at the next intersection. Third day, I took it to the dealership, and they said it needed a computer update. Luckily, I do have an extended warranty, so there was no charge. That was two days ago, and it seems to be okay for now, but I'm so afraid to drive it in heavy traffic, and I'm hesitant now every time I have to pull into traffic when leaving the store or my neighborhood.

Transmission erving out between 45-55 miles per hour and would not shift into higher gear. This was also causing it to idle rough when at a stopped position. Lately it will hit an area in the transmission where it will wind the transmission out to 5500 rpm's and not shift.

My 2008 Mercury Milan stalls and accelerates rapidly when driving. I have to place my feet on the brakes and gas at stops because the engine increases power and the car actually jumps at times without my foot being on the pedal. There is no warning before this rapid acceleration and I have actually almost hit other cars because of this defect. My vehicle stalled a couple of days ago and I took it to a local dealership and I was informed that I needed to replace the following items. 1. Power train control module 2. Ignition coils 3. Spark plugs 4. Throttle body I called Ford's customer service and explained that the car was dangerous to drive and I was informed that it was nothing the company could do to assist me.

Driving down the road power steering was lost and control of the vehicle was lost causing to hit a curb damaging rack and pinion tie rod ends, wheels and tires and alignment.

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.

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.

I was driving on the freeway at about 60 mph when my car suddenly lost all drive power without warning. I managed to coast to the snow-covered right shoulder. When I put the vehicle in park, it was shuddering and the engine warning lights were on. I turned the car off for a minute and then turned it back on. The car seemed to drive ok then, but I immediately took it to the dealership and learned that the diagnostic codes indicated a failure in the throttle body. If this is a faulty part it should be recalled. I feel I was lucky to be able to get my disabled car off the road without incident. The next person may not be so fortunate.

I was driving down the highway traveling at approximately 50mph when the car suddenly started to lose power and I was not able to accelerate--car was coasting. The wrench light came on at the same time as well. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. The car started to sputter as it slowed down and eventually lost all power/stopped. I turned the car off, and was able to start back up again. . . Very confusing and annoying.

While first driving my car from a standstill, I noticed the "wrench idiot light" on. The car seemed to buck as it went through it's gears. Also, the speedometer registered "0" at this time. Upon entering the highway, the car would not go into what I think is 4th gear. Several times, the car lurched forward and then throttled back to a low rpm, before responding to the gas pedal. Eventually, I could run at 55 mph @ 3000 rpm's, but it wouldn't shift any further, even when I went faster. At this time, the speedometer needle finally registered my true speed. A couple of times, the rpm's suddenly shot-up and then the engine throttled back. However, the car felt like it should have gone into it's final forward gear but couldn't. On local roads. It shifts extremely hard into it's gears. The whole time, the car's "wrench" light was on.

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.

I was driving on a highway, felt a jerk in the engine, and was no longer able to accelerate. The engine continued to run and all electrical components (lights, radio, etc. ) were operational, but the car would only decrease speed so I stopped the car on the shoulder. I noticed that the engine stuttered considerably while idling and would not respond to the throttle. The wrench warning light was illuminated on the dashboard. I shut the engine off and called for a tow truck. The tow truck driver arrived after 20 minutes and was able to drive the car onto the flatbed. Some ability to drive forward had returned but I was wary. I had the car transported to a Ford dealership and the service technician identified the throttle body as the culprit ($425 to repair). I've learned subsequent to my experience that this problem is quite common with 2009 - 2011 Mercury Milans. The throttle body repair is covered for 2 years. I'm concerned that this problem may repeat.

Car idle at stop sign, accelerated into highways to make a left turn, loss of power, engine accelerating, but car moving very slowly, stalled. I pulled the car over on the side of the road, and turned the engine off. When I restarted the car a few minutes later, I was able to drive home without any problem. Then, a few days later, as I was on the way to flow auto in winston-salem, nc, about 6 miles from my home, the car stalled during another left hand turn from a stoplight. I purchased this car less than 3 months ago. It had 36,205 miles on it at purchase. Flow auto says the problem is the throttle drive and it isn't covered under the warranty. Within 90 days of purchase, I have to pay $662 for a repair that has been reported thousands of times by owners of Ford focus and Mercury Milan owners, since the car was produced.

Driving near 55 mph on local highway and applying pressure to gas pedal to accelerate. Felt and heard a 'clunk'. Vehicle immediately lost ability to accelerate with pressure applied to gas pedal. Exited to shoulder. Noticed yellow service (wrench) indicator light was on. Put the car into park and turned off ignition. Re-started vehicle; service indicator light did not come back on. Put the car into drive and re-entered traffic flow. Did not have an incident in another 30 miles of driving. Took the vehicle to dealer for diagnosis. Dealer diagnosed problem as requiring new throttle body. Very dangerous situation.

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.

Car stalled 3 times - car was purchased on 10/5/13.
