2006 Mercury Milan transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving down i75s in very slow traffic. As I was approaching am accident. I noticed the car stalling or jerking a little. The wrench sensor came on in the car. I got over 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder & checked the car. I didn't see any obvious problems so I turned it off waited a few seconds & started it back up. The wrench light went off but the check engine light came on. I got off the exit & turned around to come home. The car did fine. I took the car to my local ford dealer for a diagnostic test & they said the throttle body was failing & would eventually leave me stranded. I am trying to get this issue taken car of soon. I've seen several other people with the same issues as mine online with nc cars & would like to know if there is any recall info regarding this subject. I haven't been able to work bc this is my only car & im scared to get stranded.
I was driving down the street when my car begin to a lose speed and the check engine light came on and a little wrench so I took it to the shop and I was told that it was the throttle body and I had it replaced and no the check engine light and wrench are back on and I took it back to the ford dealership and was told that ford has a recall on the throttle body that they use in the ford fusion and the milan and fusion are basically the same car and I don't want to have to shell out another 300.00 for a part that's no good they should really do a recall on the milan throttle body as well.
Transmission is slipping, car is bucking and sometimes the engine slips to a reduced speed. I have to take my foot on and off the accelerator several times before the speed will increase. This is very dangerous during rush hour.
The first incident my car was bucking and shaking. I took to dealer and they replaced the computer that ran the transmission and 3 coils. Now at 77,000 it again is having slipping issues with the transmission. These issues seem to happen at random times, but usually between 40 and 50 MPH. When you put your foot on the gas to accelerate from 40-50mph there is a loud banging sound when the transmission slips and you lose acceleration. You have to take your foot off the gas and try repeatedly again to get the car to accelerate. I almost got rear-ended by a tractor trailer when I attempted to change lanes, but could not accelerate due to the slipping problem. It took it to mechanic who had the car for 2 weeks and couldn't find the problem. Mechanic took it to ford dealer and they said they put on computer diagnostics and couldn't find a problem. I have found countless other reports on the internet of people who have the same problem and even people who have reported either having to drive off the highway due to the lack of acceleration and also of people who have gotten into accidents due to this problem of not being able to accelerate. This is a very dangerous situation to be in on the highway - not being able to accelerate!!!!! I'm worried about getting in an accident and/or getting killed.
Put my car into park and my key refused to come out of the ignition. I tried numerous times to put my car in park/drive to see if the ignition will unlock, but it is not communicating that it is in park (steering wheel will not lock, I also can't turn the key backwards and put into auxiliary mode. It wouldn't be a bad thing if I didn't live in the city. Besides the fact that the stupid drivers side door latch is busted too which is a security issue along with a safety issue. Can't a consumer rely on a car manufacture to issue parts that don't break or malfunction... I see online that lots and lots and lots of people have this issue... As this is a major concern, why is there no recall? Why should I have to pay out of pocket to get this fixed when it is a known issue? Maybe its time to buy a chevy.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercury milan. The contact stated that while decelerating from 30 MPH, the transmission knocked and slipped. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The test results showed a defect valve body on the transmission. The dealer replaced the valve body. 44,000.
Vehicle automatic transmission will attempt to downshift to lower gear on an upward hill or grade. Without warning, transmission disengages, slips, and suddenly jerks into gear causing the vehicle to lunge forward, sometimes forceful enough to possibly lose control. Many other ford vehicle models were also affected. Ford issued a technical service bulletin #08-24-1 in 2008 about the known problem, but will do nothing about it after warranty expiration.
When switching lanes on a highway at 45 MPH, attempted to accelerate but car which is an automatic would not shift. Had to get to shoulder to get car slowed down and get it to shift into gear. After that incident it would only drive in the lower drive gear not in the normal drive gear. After car had been parked for 30 minutes, the car would work in normal drive gear but still did a hard pop to shift gears with a hard acceleration. Mechanic determined that the transmission will go into neutral and than pop into gear. Ford is aware of issue as had issued a technical service bulletin on correcting the issue. A transmission with only 70000 miles should not be shifting into neutral by itself which creates a potential for an accident especially on a highway that may not have shoulders for the driver to move its now slow vehicle out of traffic.
I had to replace the brake booster,cv boots, master cylinder rotors and brakes. All to the tune of 2,000. I had no warning. No lights in the dash came on or anything. I was going down a hill and all of a sudden there were no brakes. I have had cars and drove them for over 200,000 miles and I have never had to replace all this stuff on a car. This mercury has cost me so much money. Its not like its a mercedes or bmw. Nothing on this car is cheap to get fixed. I have replaced the brakes over 20 times and the car is only 6 years old. I see why they stopped making them.
The vehicle is a 2006 4dr mercury milan. While I accelerate there is a thumping sound which makes the vehicle jump. While applying the brakes at times there is a thump/jerk of the vehicle while applying the brakes.
