Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury milan. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the contact was advised that the spark plugs, the throttle body and the power train control module (PCM) were replaced. The failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
My car suddenly lost power and the wrench light came on, at the stop sign I shut the car off and restarted and it was gone. This happened intermittently until recently the car shutters and dies in rush hour traffic when you slow or come to a stop. It also loses power and accellerates very slowly. Now the wrench light is always on and the car surges when driving. I understand others are having trouble with this very issue. All my milage is highway miles as I drive 160 miles round trip per day. The throttle bodys are very expensive and a definate safety hazard as the trouble just kicks in at any given time and the sudden loss of power occuring during bumper to bumper is a safety concern. I have maintained my car and tried to keep it like new. I think the issue needs to be addressed and the throttle bodys need to be recalled.
While first driving my car from a standstill, I noticed the "wrench idiot light" on. The car seemed to buck as it went through it's gears. Also, the speedometer registered "0" at this time. Upon entering the highway, the car would not go into what I think is 4th gear. Several times, the car lurched forward and then throttled back to a low RPM, before responding to the gas pedal. Eventually, I could run at 55 MPH @ 3000 RPM's, but it wouldn't shift any further, even when I went faster. At this time, the speedometer needle finally registered my true speed. A couple of times, the RPM's suddenly shot-up and then the engine throttled back. However, the car felt like it should have gone into it's final forward gear but couldn't. On local roads. It shifts extremely hard into it's gears. The whole time, the car's "wrench" light was on.
I was leaving work (5/23) on my way home when my car out of no where started to sputter. I pulled over and turned it off. I waited a few minutes and restarted the vehicle. It seemed fine so I drove it home. That evening my husband came home and started it to see what the issue was and it sputtered and shimmied again. Took the car to dealership on friday (5/24) so they could diagnose it. I was informed that it was the coils and the PCM had to be replaced I am still without my car because ford has yet to ship the part. It is my understanding that the PCM is on sales hold. It is now june 11th. This is not the first time my PCM was replaced. This is getting to be a costly situation and I need to know what ford is going to do about this. They know there is a problem that effects the fusion, taurus, edge, lincoln zephyr and mk and mkx, mercury milan and sable.
My mercury milan, I started noticing multiple problems of my air bag back in 2010, that as I first start the car, that the air bag light on the control panel would be on, after about 15-20 minutes it would then go off, but now on all the time due to a module under the passenger seat. The 2nd problem is of my transmission, while in traffic, alot of stopping and starting, I noticed my transmission seems to slip out as if I'm in neutral, I've seen there was a recall or talk of it for this problem of some of the newer models, but the year for 2007, there is nothing for it, so this problem started well before the years that were listed, this concerns me as if I needed to move out of the way for some odd reason, specially while having family in the car, there'd be now way of doing so quickly if desired, and would absorb an impact of any .so the 2 items listed concerns me as a consumer for "safety reason" specially when driving my children or grandchildren with me.
Driving on interstate at approximately 75 MPH on 11/16/2011 when vehicle suddenly lost power, engine still running but no response to accelerator. Fortunately there was minimal traffic and I was able to coast and exit the highway into a truck stop. Vehicle was towed to a station that identified a throttle actuator shutdown. System was reset but no other problem could be identified at that time. The same thing happened on 6/15/2012, traveling at approx. 40 MPH on a back road, no other traffic, was able to safely pull to the side. Vehicle mileage at time of second incident was approx 100,040. Vehicle was towed to a dealership where the part to be replaced was identified. My concern is this represents a potential safety hazard were this to occur on a busy highway. There is also a hard jarring of the transmission when the throttle shutdown occurs.
Car always shifted hard at 2500 RPM's. But got progressively worse. Took to wayne lincoln mercury (where I had purchased the car new) they tested the car and said nothing was wrong. Brought car back at about 53,000 miles with same complaint they said it was a motor mount. Had it checked at local garage they said motor mount was fine.power train warning light came on trans started to slip trans fluid almost black.car had extended warranty but dealer refused to honor because car didn't have 70,000 mile servicing done. Took to local trans shop transmission completely rebuilt car was fine for two weeks. Power train light came on trans started to slip brought car back. They rebuilt trans again. Power train light on again car jerked in reverse,back to tranny shop said it was slipping again. Shop didn't want to take chance with current transmission rebuilt another trans and installed in car. Week later same problem car in shop again.has been going on for six months.can't drive car at all.
12/12/2010--the transmission is slipping as I left my grandson birthday ,I bought the car last month it only has 19,800 miles on it.
I bought my 2007 mercury milan premiere in nov of 2007. I have not had any real problems until about 3 weeks ago. On a friday we were driving to my kids doctors and noticed that the gears were slipping a little bit. On the way back it got worse. So we took it in to a friends transmission shop and he had told us that the tranny was gone, bad history. So he had my car for 8 days putting a rebuilt tranny in it. We got it back on the 8th night and started driving home and noticed that it was not shifting properly. So we took it back and the axle seal had gone bad. So another day and a half of my car being in the shop. We had the car back for almost a week and I was driving it to the store and the RPM's went way up to 6500 and wasn't moving. So I pulled over. Waited 3 hours to be towed. So come to find out my tranny is out again and they now have had my car for 5 days. They also told me that 3 other milans have been in for tranny work. I have dish out $1650 for a rebuilt tranny and $480 for a rental. I now have a rental but thankfully the tranny place is paying for it.
The bearing on the drive line of my 2007 milan is bad and the car has about 29000 miles. It has been over a month since I took the car to a ford dealer to get fixed. The dealer can't get the replacement part from ford.
After obtaining the 2007 mercury milan i4 premiere, I have had transmission problems with the 5-speed automatic, inasmuch that it "jerked" when putting it into reverse and wouldn't operate beyond 3rd gear. After taking it into the dealer, costa mesa lincoln mercury, the first time the problem appeared remedied for a couple of days, then returned. I took the vehicle back into the same dealers service, where it has been for over a month. I made my second and third payments while it sat in service. At this point, the entire transmission has been replaced, the controller, solenoid, etc. When I picked it up the second time, I didn't even make it back to the freeway when the same problem appeared again, so I immediately returned the car a third time to service for the same problem. Please note that I have no problem with the dealer, this is a problem from the factory. The dealer had a ford factory service rep. Out for three consecutive days, and when asked how to fix the vehicle he replied, "replace it." the dealer is saying that to replace it will still take another 3 weeks or so. I feel this ridiculous, because the car has been at the dealers service dept. More than I have had it to enjoy, while still being required to make payments. Ford/mercury had better remedy this, to my satisfaction, quickly!
