While driving my 2010 Mercury Milan, the steering suddenly went out, making the vehicle extremely difficult to control. I almost hit another car because I could not steer properly. This was a serious safety concern, and I believe the steering issue needs to be investigated immediately.

I was driving on the freeway and the steering began to stiffen. I got to my destination and decided to check the tires for any ice or snow, thinking that might be why it was difficult to drive but there was no buildup. I made it home and parked the car. The next day, I can't even turn the steering and a warning comes up that says service power steering and advancetrac.

UNKNOWN When air temperature drops below 50 degrees radio console does not function. Display is locked with only the words "Mercury Milan". Now the electrical system is not functioning. I know it isn't the battery- I had it replaced within the past 4 months.

Oct 2019 I went to My dealer to have a tire pressure sensor replaced due to a warning message. The sensor was replaced but the warning message remained. The mechanic did further checking and said I needed a smart junction box which can affect many things such as lights turn signals heat seat belts etc. Ford said they could not repair my car because they could not get this part. I recently inquired if it was available and there is still no ETA for this part. I had to pay them up front even though none are available. Is there a way that you can get this part expedited at Ford or issue a recall as it affects warnings and safety components. This part has to be programmed by the dealer so I do not think a salvage yard part is feasible not really sure.

The passenger rear tail light has gone out on my 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid. Just had the left one replaced 5 months ago to the tune of $900 and the dealership is asking for the same for this one. Seriously, a $900 tail light?

For years I have sporadically gotten a "Power Steering Sensor Fault" displayed when I would start the car. You could barely turn the steering wheel. In searching the Owner's Manual, owners are advised to turn off the ignition, wait briefly then restart the car (how this issue got into the Owner's Manual and could not be addressed and eliminated, I don't understand). This would correct the fault and the power steering would function normally. Fortunately it never happened while driving. In the last week this display was occurring more frequently until on 5/16/21 it would not go away and I could not drive the car. Today, 5/20/21 I got it towed to the local Ford dealer. The situation will probably not be diagnosed until next week. From reading everything on the internet, this is a routine safety concern, and a recall for the control module has been issued on the 2011-2015 Milan models. Unfortunately my car is 2010 and is not included in the recall. Aren't we talking about an identical control module as to those that have been recalled?? Then why wouldn't the federal safety agency not be concerned about this very similar safety issue??!! I'm thankful this didn't happed to me while driving!
