2006 Mercury Milan transmission problems

Filed Dec 9, 2018 · Acceleration, Engine · 161,000 miles · MI

Started car for a drive after oil change/ disconnect battery for terminal cleaning and reconnect. Upon acceleration, could not get car to shift unless let off gas. Shifts hard, did not shift 3 and 4 gear until acceleration of at least 55 MPH, then 70 in 4th gear. On highway seemed to want to slow down. Upon parking, let it idle. Car flashed engine light, wrench and curvy road. Idling was rough, as if vacuum was not working. Turned car off and then on. Wrench disappeared and curvy road but engine light on. Checked codes. Only threw one code not related to problem. Unable to drive this way. So many complaints but no recalls. Never buying a ford again. Looks like time for foreign car.

Well we were driving through the appalachian mountains on the highway, we went to pass a car that was slow. We stepped on the accelerator and it tried to shift into overdrive (because everyone if flying through there). But, as that happened the transmission slipped and sent the rpms to a really scary area where we thought it was going to blow up. Luckily, they came back down but as we would drive until it stopped. A couple months later we figured out if when that happened if we pulled over turned the car off let it sit for a minute then turn it back on and it would work fine for a while then. So, to me it almost seems like its a computer issue but its not because we went to an as-e certified shop and had the computers flashed then reprogrammed and it still does it while driving.

Throttle defect -loss of power/acceleration - and - takata airbag recall. Vehicle had not been driven more than 1-2 miles, and has been parked since may due to previous airbag warning and subsequent recall. Upon starting the vehicle on 10/23/16 to move it to wash it, the vehicle exhibited extremely limited acceleration and loss of power regarding acceleration, & then sudden acceleration. Car was parked along the curb, and when started, the orange wrench light came on. Upon attempting to drive it, the vehicle experienced extremely limited power/acceleration. It took a considerable distance to reach 30 MPH. Upon reaching this speed on the highway, the vehicle accelerated very rapidly. Returned vehicle home and parked it immediately. Additionally, we received the takata airbag recall letter nearly 5 months ago, and there are still no parts available. Vehicle has less than 91, 000 miles.

As I was trying to pick up speed from 35 MPH my car started to slow down an my check engine light came on. I immediately took it the mechanic to get the diagnostic test ran on it. It showed that I had a bad ignition coil and spark plugs. I bought the coil from ford and when I got it put in my car 3 minutes later that same coil I bought exploded again! Ima mechanic called ford they said it was a recall on this cars PCM. I've read about this problem from numerous people. Ford needs to do something about this!!!

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.

While driving at 40-50mph and then trying to accelerate to pass or go uphill the transmission would cluck out of gear and then slam back in violently. It was so violent that it snapped the transmission torque mount. When it does this the car lunges forward with loss of power and then snaps back when it slams back into gear. I took it to a transmission specialist and after consulting with sonnax technical support, the only solution is to replace the valve body and update the PCM/TCM with the latest software. However, they did say that there was no guarantee that this wouldn't happen again because aisin/ford have not figure out how to fix the issue with the valve body, they keep throwing updates at the problem but buy then damage has already been done and ford wont do anything about it. This is not just a consumer complaining, this is a consumer that believes that this is a safety issue and aisin/ford should step up and recall this valve body and fix the issue at no cost to the consumer because they knew that there was a problem with that transmission but ignored it and kept throwing updates at it instead of doing the right thing and recalling it and fixing it. I should not have to pay to fix a faulty part with something that is not guaranteed to work. Ford step up and do the right thing.
