My mom was driving on the freeway at 65-70/MPH and all of a sudden the car jerked and shut off while it was rolling down the road. There was no warning! She could have been killed! The car suddenly lost acceleration power and the wheel locked up on her. We've checked to see if there has been any recalls and apparently there's a recall for the 2011 models, but nothing older. However, I have read multiple forums and there's been quite a few people that have had this issue. Again, she could've been killed!! Something needs to be done!!

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???

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury milan. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle dropped out of overdrive and jerked forcefully. The contact stated that the engine reved and the speedometer fluctuated up and down from 0-120 constantly. The vehicle jerked back and forth each time the engine was started and when shifting into drive and reverse. The contact believed the throttle control cables were failing because, while idling, the vehicle reved up to 2 rpms. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 111,656.

I was traveling on a two lane highway going about 60 MPH with my two granddaughters in the car with me, when all of a sudden I lost power and the car began to decelerate. The wrench light came on. I pulled over to the side of the road and after calling my mechanic I turned the car off. I waited for about 5 minutes and restarted the vehicle. The wrench light went off and I was once again able to drive the vehicle. This is very dangerous if it should happen on a major freeway in rush hour traffic. Some internet research indicates that this has been a major problem with the mercury and others. I called a ford dealer who said my car was not part of the extended warranty that was part of the "customer satisfaction program" and he would not tell me any other information citing liability concerns.

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.

We were northwest bound on the ohio turnpike just before rt 11 south of youngstown. Travelling 70 MPH, the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. The motor continued to run, but the car would not go more than 5 or 10 MPH. The yellow wrench light on the left side of the instrument panel illuminated and remained until the motor was turned off. After sitting on the side of the highway for about an hour, the vehicle was started and the yellow wrench light was gone. Aaa advised me to take the next available turnaround and return home which was about 70 miles away. After we turned around, the aaa technician followed us to the next service plaza. While there he checked the vehicle's fluids and found no problems. The vehicle's diagnostic check indicated that all of the monitored systems were alright. We drove the 70 miles home without incident. I suspect electronic throttle body connectivity as referenced in ford's customer satisfaction program 13n03 to be the cause of this incident.

Was driving home on the expressway where the speed limit is 65 and vehicle wouldn't go over 55 with RPM's at 3000. All the while having the wrench idiot light on. Hoping there is recall because I can't afford a new vehicle or even for it to be fixed.

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.
