I was driving down a main road when the car just lost power could not accelerate. Pulled over to the side had to use e brake to stop. Turn off car try to turn it back on and it would not start only dash lights came on. Check engine. Had it towed. Mechanic diagnosis 1 of the back coils went bad along with ECM/PCM. Fried the coil on the plug fuse as well. Very dangerous and scary when your driving in traffic about 50 miles per hour.car has 74,000. No warning light came on before this car has been maintained by ford with oil changes and multi point inspects. This seems to be an issue with mercury milan but no recalls???

The 2006- 2012 mercury milan and ford fusion are very likely to loose power steering and brakes. Due to the the way the belt tensioner is mounted on the engine is it very common that the bolt holding the pulley in place will snap causing accesories to shut off due to the belt falling off, ford will not take care of it, myself and hundred of others are having this issue as I went to forums online and found alot of people have the same issue, these are very safe dependable cars until this started happeing to all of us, if you are unsure as to if you should believe, start a poll with the owners of vehicles mentioned and others made by ford motors, its found to be very common.

2007 mercury milan premier began running very rough while traveling down a busy county road. The roughness appeared to increase when the engine was under load. I called my mechanic and was instructed to bring the car by for a computer analysis. Approaching the shop, no more than 4 miles since onset of problem, I began to smell a strong electrical burning. Upon lifting the car's hood the electrical burning smell was overwhelming and smoke was streaming from the #4 cylinder ignition coil. Carefully removing the coil revealed feet upon feet of unraveling and burning coil wire, along with rubber from the coils spark plug boot smoldering and dripping molten rubber down the hole... This could have turned out to be a very dangerous condition... If the car had been driven any further, I truly believe an open flame would have broken out... I was relieved that my wife or children weren't driving the car at the time.. My mechanic says the PCM computer possibly shorted out and may have damaged the other coils as well. The car will now have to be towed to a mercury dealer for a very expensive repair.. I was told there is no recall for this very dangerous condition on a mercury milan, however it's sister model, a ford fusion, does have a recall. This leaves me very frustrated and most likely broke...

This happens with more frequency. The car studers when accelerating from a complete stop. Feels like the front tires are struggling to grip the road when the road is in fact dry and front tires are in good condition. Also tried to start and the engine started and then stalled. I had to do this three times before it started.
