STEERING
MY POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING AND ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM FAULT WARNING CAME ON RANDOMLY FOR MONTHS. WHEN THEY WOULD, I'D LOSE POWER STEERING, BUT COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT WOULD RESET AND WORK FINE. DURING THOSE MONTHS I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND SO THEY WOULD CLEAR THE CODES AND TOLD ME REPEATEDLY IT WAS A SENSOR MISFIRE. I HAD READ REVIEWS OF NUMEROUS 2010 MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES BUT NEVER BEING RECALLED. LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO A NEW AUTO REPAIR PLACE WHO DIAGNOSED THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM AS HAVING MALFUNCTIONED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION, COSTING ME OVER $2000. THE 2011-2013 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT REASON. THE 2010 SHOULD BE AS WELL. IF I HAD BEEN ON BACKROADS DRIVING FOR MY JOB, WHICH I OFTEN AM, WHEN THIS HAD GONE OUT, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING
I STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP AND SUDDENLY I HAD NO POWER STEERING. NO WARNINGS JUST UNABLE TO BUDGE THE STEERING WHEEL. CAR IS STILL SITTING AT A RESTAURANT . IF THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE WHILE DRIVING THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD CONTROL THIS CAR! THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH 2011 MILAN BUT NOT 2010 BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE IF FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS. THE 1700 PLUS REPAIR IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MOST OF US!!!

STEERING
STEERING COLUMN LOCKS WHILE TURN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING COLUMN. THERE ARE 168 RECENT COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. WITH THE LAST OCCURRENCE, THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. RESTARTED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT STEER AT ALL. PAUSED A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE STEERING WAS VERY LOOSE AS IF THERE WAS NO STEERING CONTROL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODEL YEAR 2011-2015. NHTSA PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES. AT THE TIME THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR WOULD SAY "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT SAY "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". UPON RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THERE HAS A BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2011-2015 MERCURY MILAN MODELS BUT NOT THE 2010. I HAVE FOUND A TON OF OTHERS WITH MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE MILEAGE RANGING FROM LOW TO HIGH. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE OTHER MODEL MILIANS RECALLS.

STEERING
DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH ON A CURVY CITY STREET AND A ERROR MESSAGE TO SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON ALERTED ME. BEFORE I COULD GET A QUARTER OF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE APPEARED, WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THAT MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP QUOTED ME UPWARDS UP $1250 FOR THE REPAIR. MY CAR HAS ROUGHLY 84,000 MILES ON IT. IF THEY ARE RECALLING THE 2011 MODEL FOR THIS REPAIR THEN OBVIOUSLY THE 2010 SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL IF IT HAS THE SAME MALFUNCTIONS, PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES. THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I CAN'T AFFORD SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR.

BLED THE BRAKES, SAME THING PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR. CHANGED THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP, BLED THE BRAKES AND USED A SCAN TOOL TO BLEED THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP. THEN REBLED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THEN CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER BLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT PEDAL HITS THE FLOOR. HOWEVER THIS TIME I HAVE NO BRAKES. I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IN ALMOST 2 MONTHS. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $1500 DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS FIXING AND RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR MILAN'S AND FUSIONS OF SIMILAR YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY, IN MAY 2018, STATED THAT PARTS WERE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD QUARTERS OF 2018. WITH THE FOURTH QUARTER COMING TO A CLOSE, I HAVE BECOME INPATIENT. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT TO BE UNABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS SAFELY IN MY VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING WAS GONE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUS TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE 2011 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME UPWARDS OF $2000 TO REPAIR. WHEN I DECLINED, THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND IT WORKED AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE CAME ON.
