Continuing phone call ref.# 326373:(did not have all information in front of me to continue). 12/12/2019 took car to firestone tire and automotive and wanted them to check my brakes because something was not right with them. The put new brakes and rotors on front and back. Problem was car was hesitant in stopping, then would "grab." while driving, if I had to use brakes, car would not immediately resume speed after brakes released. Rpm's go way up, mpg drops to "0," then car accelerates. It is very hesitant in picking speed back up. Twice I took car to shop to have them check it out.(4/13/20 and 9/1/20) could not find anything. No problem came up on computer. No engine light. I believe recall #19s54/the federal safety agency 19v‑904 responsible. Received recall notice january 2020. I have called local ford dealership to see if parts available to fix and was told (also on website) they would be available probably last part of first quarter of 2020. Now last part of third quarter and no parts. Afraid car will "stall" in traffic and cause accident.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury milan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not shift past 4 rpms. Also, when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jerked and shook while accelerating. The contact also stated that the vehicle shut off while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine, traction control, and transmission warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the throttle body was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact spoke with gosch ford hemet (150 carriage cir, hemet, ca 92545, 951‑396‑7250) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact informed the dealer that she discovered manufacturer recall number: 13n03, which was a free repair ford offered its customers with defective throttle bodies. The dealer informed the contact that they were unaware of the recall and referred her to the manufacturer. When the contact spoke with the manufacturer, the contact was informed that they were aware of this particular recall; however, her vehicle was out of warranty and was no longer entitled to the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 126,000.
Issue with PCM being short circuited. Resulting in having to replace ignition coils, fuel injector and PCM. Vehicle was in the process of accelerating, stopped accelerating, and started running terribly. Kept cutting off and check engine light flashed and eventually stayed on.
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???
Electronic throttle body (etb) malfunction. Car revs but fails to catch. Check engine and wrench lights came on. Once car started moving pedometer did not work. Warranty on this part for 2009-2014 models has been extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles. The warranty should cover all model years as this is a potential problem before on vehicles manufactured before 2009.
Vehicle engine light and wrench light comes on. Vehicle RPM's goes up causing vehicle to slow down on expressway. If you stop and restart the vehicle, it resets and drives normal. A couple times a day this happens.
