POWER TRAIN
MY MOM WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65-70/MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF WHILE IT WAS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HER. WE'VE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODELS, BUT NOTHING OLDER. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND THERE'S BEEN QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AGAIN, SHE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!

STEERING
WAS DRIVING MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN WHEN MY DASHBOARD SHOWED A SERVICE ALERT "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". I PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER MILAN FOR POWER STEERING BUT NOT THE 2010. I CANNOT AFFORD $2000 WORTH OF WORK ON A CAR THAT'S VALUED AT $4000. WHEN I HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR OVER THIS, I WILL NOT BE LOOKING AT FORD BRANDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, BRAKES FELT SOFT AND CAR WOULDN'T STOP. SHE WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT LOW SPEEDS AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FORD SAYS IT'S DUE TO A FAULTY ABS MODULE WHICH SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT NO SAFETY RECALL. ISSUE ALSO AFFECTED TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND PREVENTED HYBRID FROM STAYING IN EV MODE WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. FORD CHARGING OVER $1,200 TO REPLACE ABS MODULE.

STEERING
POWER STEERING STOPPED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. I NOTICED MANY 2011 MILIAN'S MANUFACTURED JUST ABOUT THE MINE WAS BUILT HAVE THIS MAJOR RECALL. WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN MY DOES NOT COME UP WITH THE VERY COMMON RECALL. I COULD HAVE INJURED MY BABY AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS SERIOUS! WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE?

SERVICE BRAKES
SOFT PEDAL RELATED TO THE ABS HYDRAULICS UNIT. FORD AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS. SOMETIMES BRAKES GO OUT COMPLETELY THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ALREADY. COME INVESTIGATE OUR CAR AND YOU WILL FIND YOU EVIDENCE PROVING THE SOFT PEDAL IS RELATED TO FORDS ABS NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS NOT MY ONLY COMPLAINT...

STEERING
POWER STEERING ACTIV TRAK WARNING CAME ON DISPLAYING SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON WILL DRIVING TO THE STORE. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE ACTIV TRAK SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. VERY DANGEROUS. THE PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS STILL A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF 2010'S ON THE HIGHWAY. DESPITE THE PLANT THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE PART IF STILL FAULTY AND THEN RECALL NEEDS TO BE HONORED ON THE 2010'S AS WELL BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST OR SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM LOSING CONTROL.

STEERING
"POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" COMES ON WHILE BACKING 2010 MERCURY MILAN OUT OF THE GARAGE LOCKING MY STEERING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT GARAGE (MINOR ACCIDENT, THANKFUL). UPON RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THERE HAS A BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2011-2015 MERCURY MILAN MODELS BUT NOT THE 2010. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE MILEAGE RANGING FROM LOW TO HIGH. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FAMILY. 2010 MILAN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE 2011-2012 RECALLS. DANGEROUS TO LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING WHILE DRIVING, THIS COULD BE FATAL ON EXPRESSWAY SITUATIONS.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING JUST QUIT AND THE "POWER STEERING FAULT" COMES ON THE DASH. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE FORD ELECTRIC PS ISSUES AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED AS TO WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE FORD IS OPERATED.

STEERING
MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AFTER ROTATING THE TIRES. THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" INDICATOR CAME ON AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I TORE MY ROTATOR CUFF TRYING TO STEER THE CAR. FORD IS NOT RECALLING THE 2010 MODEL EVEN THOUGH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING COMPONENTS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 2011 WHICH IS RECALLED. A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY 2011 MERCURY MILAN OWNERS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN 2010 OWNERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
SEVERAL YEARS BACK, I HAD A NEAR FAILURE OF MY BRAKES WHEN ROLLING DOWN A HILL TOWARD A RIGHT TURN AT THE BOTTOM.( I THINK IN RETROSPECT THAT BECAUSE OF MY HITTING SOME BUMPY PATCHES ON THE TURN LANE THE BRAKES ATTEMPTED TO ACTUATE ABS). I HAD SUFFICIENT BRAKING, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, TO ROLL TO A STOP. POPPING THE HOOD, I FOUND THE CAP ON THE BRAKES FLUID RESERVOIR WAS AJAR. I REFITTED IT AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. (IN RETROSPECT, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A "FAILURE" OCCURRED IN THE RESERVOIR CAP, BUT WAS INSTEAD A CONSEQUENCE OF OTHER MALFUNCTIONS IN THE SYSTEM. SOME TIME LATER, I HAD ANOTHER FAILURE, WHICH NEARLY RESULTED IN A CRASH. I LIMPED TO GARNET FORD, AND HAD REPAIRS DONE, TOTALING ABOUT $1200. THE CAUTIONARY I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE REP WAS FOREBODING: REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY THEN CLAIMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS SUFFICIENT. (IN RETROSPECT, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE LEAST TAKING THIS ACTION THEN AND THERE: AN AUTOMOBILE WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT OUGHT NOT HAVE DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE BRAKES). LAST MONTH I HAD TO HAVE BRAKES REPAIRED, AS A RESULT OF PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM MY WIFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND EXPERIENCING MUCH THE SAME THING AS HAD OCCURRED TO ME THE FIRST INCIDENT. FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE SERVICED, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW MY ABS WARNING LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON, AND I AM GETTING A ROUGHNESS TO BRAKING AS IF THE FRONT BRAKES ARE WORN DOWN: THEY ARE NOT. I AM RETURNING TO THE MECHANIC WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE, BUT IT IS SUGGESTIVE OF A BUILT-IN DEFECT, WHICH IS TREMENDOUSLY HAZARDOUS, AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF FORD TO IGNORE THIS DEFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ARE SOFT. SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW IF IM GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING. I GOOGLED IT AND THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS MYSELF. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP AND I JUST ABOUT CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT'S NOT SAFE.
