STEERING
WENT TO TAKE MY CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. WENT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED! COULD NOT TURN WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT! AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENED A WARNING SIGN POPPED ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT POWER STEERING FAILURE. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. 2010, 11 AND 12 MODELS ARE ALL HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM! ONLY ONE THEY RECOGNIZE AT THE MOMENT HAVING A PROBLEM IS THE 2011 BECAUSE APPARENTLY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT OR KILLED WITH THE 2010 AND 12 MODELS BEFORE THEY RECALL THEM! I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND FEEL FORTUNATE I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IN A PARKING LOT! I HOPE THE "INVESTIGATION" THEIR WORKING ON GOES BY QUICKLY BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT!

I JUST WENT IN LESS THEN 3 MTHS AGO AND HAD THE THROTTLE BODY PCM CALIBRATION UPDATE, BAM STARTING AGAIN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO GO DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE POWER OR WHILE DRIVING GIVE IT GAS & IT JERKS. 2010 MILAN

STEERING
WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHEN THE STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AS I WAS CHANGING LANES. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AND ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS SOMETHING RELATED TO A FAULT IN THE STEERING RACK, AND ASKED $6,000 TO REPLACE IT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 110,000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE
THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT GOES ON INDICATING A SUPPOSED ENGINE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ENGINE PERFORMS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THIS SPORADIC FAILURE OCCURS. IT HAS REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND THE TROUBLE CODE THAT HAS BEEN LOGGED IS P2112, WHICH RELATES TO A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERING SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND MODELS (INCLUDING 2010 MERCURY MILANS) WITH THIS STYLE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE WARRANTY REPORTEDLY COVERS THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT UP TO TEN YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR USES THE SAME THROTTLE THROTTLE BODY AS OTHER AFFECTED MILANS, MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THOUGH IT SHOULD BE. NOW IT SEEMS THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET FORD TO COVER THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM ON OTHER, VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL, VEHICLES. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NO LONGER STEER. MESSAGES SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE WERE DISPLAYED. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I SAW THAT THE 2011 MILAN WAS ALREADY UNDER RECALL ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FORD MODELS. THE 2010 MILAN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL AS THE ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WITH THIS MODEL. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I DO NOT HAVE $2000 TO GET THIS FIXED AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING UNTIL THE RECALL GOES THROUGH.

STEERING
STEERING DOES NOT TURN. IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING. I TURNED ON THE CAR TO GO TO WORK TO FIND OUT IT DOESN'T WORK. CAN'T TURN LEFT AND CAN'T TURN RIGHT . IT IS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ALMOST A MONTH. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE AND I'M AFRAID I MIGHT CRASH GOING TO WORK ALL BECAUSE OF THE STEERING WHEEL NOT WORKING. I WONDER IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN KILLED (HOPE TO GOD NOT) BY THIS MALFUNCTION IT NEEDS TO FIXED ASAP

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON , CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND LOST POWER AND SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVE DOWN THE SHOULDER TO A REST STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE I'M THINKING IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND A LIGHT CAME ON WHICH I HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE AS WELL AS TWO CONSOLE MESSAGES THAT READ "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC." MY STEERING BECAME NOTICEABLY HEAVIER AS I DROVE AND THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT AND SLOWLY WITH GREAT EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO ANGLE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT. THERE WERE NO NOISES. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A NEAR BY AUTO SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED A FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND QUOTED ME $1750 FOR REPAIR.

STEERING
WHILE AT COLLEGE MY SON CALLED AND SAID THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN HIS CAR. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHICH REFERRED ME TO A DEALER SINCE THEY WHOLE STEERING GEAR SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE COMPUTER WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED. THIS IS GOING TO BE BETWEEN 1800-2500 REPAIR. I FOUND THIS SITE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MODEL WIDE ISSUE. I AM HOPING THAT THE RECALL ON THE 2011 AND 2012 WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2010.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS IN MOTION OR IT WILL SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS INCIDENT ALSO OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGH SPEEDS, SUCH AS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEED VARIES AS IT HAS ALSO OCCURED IN TOWN DRIVING. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON.
