What owners say
Check engine light came on, took to my machanic.dignostic read out indicated something to do with air pollution device( he did not know which one) until he looked at the car. Now I have a wrench light on and the car does not want to stay running, smells " rich running" and will hardly go down the road. Not too long ago I had problems with the door lock system also, was relocking doors after I locked them. I have complained since day one that there was something not right with the electrical system on this car. I think whatever is wrong with the engine now is all tied into everything.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 mercury milan. The contact stated that the driver's side front interior door handle became detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.
Interior door handle will not open vehicle on driver's side door making it impossible to exit vehicle without crawling over console and exiting from passenger seat or opening window to access exterior door handle. This is a safety issue. As the same thing happened to my husband's ford fusion 2010 hybrid (which cost over $200 to repair at the dealership), I believe there is an issue with the manufacture/design/integrity of parts in these vehicles. In addition, there are numerous complaints on the internet ford/mercury forums citing the same problem.
The passenger side door stopped locking, now the drivers side door stopped locking this morning when I brought it to the mechanic. Also the door handle inside on the drivers side has now failed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 mercury milan. The contact stated while exiting the vehicle the drivers side door handle cracked and became loose. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that the door handle needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 21,000. ....updated 06/18/12
