Filed Nov 17, 2020 · Steering · 87,217 miles · AZ · crash

For the last year, the power steering assist on my 2010 mercury milan will randomly turn off while driving the car and prior to starting the car. I can turn the car off, wait and the power steering assist will re-activate.

Vehicle stall while sitting at light - car in drive. Car needed to be restarted. This happened multiple times in a row and finally was able to gas and accelerate. Let car sit for awhile, restarted and it stalled. Other times while idle - car in park, engine surges. I believe this is the throttle body issue previously reported by others.

My wife was leaving her parking stall in a parking garage when the power steering quit working. She was able to stop before hitting anything. This issue is well known to occur on certain mercury milans and ford fusions. Ford offered to fix 2011 and 2012 cars but not 2010's which has the same system and fault. I would like ford to fix it.

I was on my way back from a trip and my car stalled out multiple times. I would be going at highway speeds and it would just cut out. I was able to safely get into the service lane and restart the car with no problem, but then it would happen again. After 7 times of this happening in about an hour, I eventually pulled over and waited for a tow. I did my research and found out that this is a common issue with mercury cars in my model year due to faulty throttle body issues. Because the problem was so widespread, ford issued an extended warranty that would cover a throttle body repair for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first. Based on this information, it seemed like my car would be covered. However, after taking it to the dealership, they claimed that it would not be covered because my VIN doesn't match the lists and estimated the repair at $500-$700. This is completely crazy to me because it obviously happens to cars like mine and has been fixed by the company at no cost. I believe I should also receive that benefit. I talked to the company and have lodged a formal complaint, and I will also be sending a letter because this is just not acceptable. Stalling on a highway going 70+ is dangerous and I could have been seriously injured or even killed had I been hit.

First of all this has happened on several occasions. Driving down the interstate the car will stall and begin to shake and puts a wrench icon on the dash, the vehicle has no response to the acceleration pedal. I have to pull over and sh u think the car off a few minutes and then go again. It has also happened several times while pulling across traffic from a stop, one time nearly getting me hit from oncoming traffic. It is impossible to tell when or where this will happen. I have called ford and was denied a repair because my VIN was not on the recall list for the throttle body even though it has the same problem as the ones covered. I have had the diagnostic test and received codes that match as well.
