STEERING
POWER STEERING ASSIST HAS PROBLEMS. POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND CAR THEN CAN'T BE STEERED. HAPPENS SOMETIME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. FORD REFUSES TO FIX IT. EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. THEY EVEN HAVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITES AGAINST THEM FOR IT.

THE CAR WAS RECALLED ON JUN 01,2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER16S26 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V384 SUMMARY THE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR OF MY CAR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY WIFE SINCE WE DRIVE THIS CAR EVERYDAY. (THIS DEFECT REPORT IS IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA DIRS 16E-042, 16E-043, 16E-044.) AFTER THE WHOLE YEAR, I HAVEN'T HEART ANYTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURE AT ALL. I ALSO CALLED THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT OFFER ME ANY ASSISTANCE AT ALL. IS THE MANUFACTURER GOING TO SIT ON THE RECALL UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS ON ME AND MY WIFE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, IN 2015 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I'M DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR STARTS HESITATING THEN STARTS BUCKING LIKE CRAZY AND CONKS OUT. I START THE CAR BACK UP AND IT DRIVES FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST RECENTLY GOT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND TURNING LANE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD CROSSING OVER 2 LANES & STARTED TO PROCEED AS THE CAR STARTED HESITATING, SLOWED DOWN AND CONKED OUT. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CALLED FORD TODAY TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS STILL A COVERED ITEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR A ONE TIME FIX, WHICH I ALREADY HAD. SO NOW IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF A DEFECTIVE PART?? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THE COMPLAINTS ARE STILL ROLLING IN ON THE MILAN'S AND SEVERAL OTHER FORD VEHICLES.

"TAKATA RECALL" - 16V-384 I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I HAVE INQUIRED TWICE SINCE AND JUST CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WHO SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND TO CALL THE FORD HELPLINE. I JUST GOT OFF THE FORD HELPLINE AND THEY SAID THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I DID EXPRESS TO FORD THAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. THE PERSON ON THE FORD HELPLINE WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS "EDDIE" SAID THAT FORD HAD DECIDED THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER AND THEY HAD NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING SO THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE ACCORDING TO FORD. I INQUIRED AS TO WHY ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS RECALLED AND NOT THE DRIVER AIRBAG OR THE SIDE AIRBAGS. HE SAID THOSE OTHERS MAY BE FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. I THINK THAT THIS HAS TAKEN TOO LONG AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. WHAT IS BEING DONE BY THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE TAKATA CORRECT THIS PROBLEM???

ENGINE
I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A TRIP AND MY CAR STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. I WOULD BE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IT WOULD JUST CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET INTO THE SERVICE LANE AND RESTART THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER 7 TIMES OF THIS HAPPENING IN ABOUT AN HOUR, I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A TOW. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MERCURY CARS IN MY MODEL YEAR DUE TO FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS SO WIDESPREAD, FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WOULD COVER A THROTTLE BODY REPAIR FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR WOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH THE LISTS AND ESTIMATED THE REPAIR AT $500-$700. THIS IS COMPLETELY CRAZY TO ME BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY HAPPENS TO CARS LIKE MINE AND HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE COMPANY AT NO COST. I BELIEVE I SHOULD ALSO RECEIVE THAT BENEFIT. I TALKED TO THE COMPANY AND HAVE LODGED A FORMAL COMPLAINT, AND I WILL ALSO BE SENDING A LETTER BECAUSE THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. STALLING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 70+ IS DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED HAD I BEEN HIT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
AS I WAS PREPARING TO EXIT A PARKING LOT, DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND TURNING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. I WAS STILL IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH AT FIRST. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO FINALLY GET IT TO LATCH. LATER THAT EVENING WHEN MY HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM WORK, HE NOTICED THE SAME DOOR WAS OPEN, AS MY CAR SAT PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. AGAIN, IT TOOK A FEW TRIES FOR HIM TO GET IT TO LATCH CLOSED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, EVERY TIME THAT I HIT A LARGE BUMP OR HAVE TO ENGAGE THE ABS SYSTEM BY HAVING TO STOP VERY QUICKLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SO SOFT THAT EVEN TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER GOING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED, I HAVE TO PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SO THAT I CAN COME TO A FULL STOP. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF, BUT IT TAKES AT LEAST A FEW HOURS AND SOMETIMES UP TO A DAY OR MORE. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN ALL ANY DRIVING CONDITION (CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, DRIVEWAY, ETC...), AND AT ANY SPEED (AS LOW AS 5 MPH). I RECENTLY READ THAT 2007-2009 MODELS WERE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON, AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 2010 MODEL WAS ADDED TO THE LIST BECAUSE I FEEL VERY UN-SAFE DRIVING MY CAR SOMETIMES, AND THE ABS SYSTEM IS SUCH A VITAL COMPONENT TO A SAFE DRIVE. ALSO, AFTER READING THE NEXT PAGE, THE MOST RECENT INSTANCE HAPPENED JUST YESTERDAY (5/21/17), BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY OF 2011. MY MECHANIC HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT, SO HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE CONTROLLER IS THE FAULTY PART. CAN YOU PLEASE PUT A RE-CALL OUT ON THIS??

WHEELS
I JUST NOTICED THAT I NOW HAVE A MISSING WHEEL STUD AND LUG NUT ON BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEELS. THIS CAR DOES HAVE THE 17" STEEL WHEELS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STUDS BREAKING BACK IN 2011, 11S23, AND ACCORDING TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE STUDS WERE INSPECTED AND LUGS NUTS WERE REPLACED BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2011. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 86,805 MILES ON IT. THE LAST TIRE ROTATION WAS JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO AT 75,114 MILES AND WAS DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AT THAT POINT I PAID TO HAVE ONE OF THE FRONT WHEEL STUDS REPLACE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS STRIPPED OUT.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE DASH INDICATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH GREAT EFFORT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER RE-STARTING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WORKED. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR WAS STARTED THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK INDICATING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN.
