My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway I got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as I was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as I was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while I was driving from one second to the next I got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.
2010 Mercury Milan fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 138, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall . We were notified years ago, still passenger side air bag not replaced. Now ford is telling us not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. Ford had ignored all our correspondence. It's rediculous, will never purchase another ford product.
I received a recall notice for my vehicle and I looked it up with my VIN number and it said I had a recall on my vehicle. I'm uploading the notice
Rear passenger side tail light stays illuminated even while brake paddle is engaged... Basically I have no brake lights... Also fuel recalls still hasnt been done on my vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While stationary, the vehicle leaked fuel onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to kaiser miller ford in collegeville, pennsylvania. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part for the repair was on backorder for the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 170,000.
Fuel tank & canister purge valve recall - 15s34 recall - vehicle was inspected for recall in august 2016 and passed the recall and the recall was closed by ford. In july 2017, the vehicle had a check engine light and message to check fuel tank inlet that would come on and go off in. The check engine light code was related to the evap system. Vehicle was taken to the same ford dealership that performed the recall in 2016. The canister purge valve failed and the fuel filler pipe had leaks and needed replacement. The ford dealership submitted a 360 claim for the parts and labor. The 360 claim was denied because the car was outside the 7 years of service and the dealership would not warranty the claim because the recall had already been closed.
Engine light was on and intermittently smelled gas or got fuel fill check indicator. Upon diagnostic mil p0455 and p0457. Canister purge valve had to be replaced paid $300. Going through my records I found that on april 5,2016, I had a recall 15s34 fuel tank and canister purge valve inspection completed. There was no evidence of cracks or leaks so only recalibration was completed. Now less than 10,000 miles later a replacement was needed. Awaiting review for a refund from ford dealership
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the check fuel warning indicator illuminated and there was an abnormal fuel odor. The vehicle was taken to auto zone were it was diagnosed that the canister purge valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to the quirk ford dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck would need to be replaced. A year prior to the failures, the vehicle was taken to be repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was inspected and found to have no leaks. The software was updated. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While operating the vehicle, the service light would illuminate. After refueling, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel purge valve was faulty and would erroneously remain open. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 MPH, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When I got home after a few restarts I hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! It was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! After reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! A design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for ford !!! I have read too many complaints about the same problem. My car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 20 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the code for the fuel system indicated to inspect the fuel tank and vmv valve. An evaporation test was also performed. The technician reprogrammed the computer; however, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed a second time. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,006.
Stalls (approx 10 MPH) then sudden surges. The vehicle keeps moving, but at drastically reduced speeds. After sitting for some time the check engine light or wrench symbol goes away. Afterwards driving back to stalling (approx 10 MPH) then sudden surges.

I received a recall notice (15v‑793) from ford in january 2016 about the canister purge valve, vapor canister, gas tank, and power control module on my 2010 mercury milan. I took it to the ford dealer and they did an electronic test and said it was ok. One month later the check engine light came on and the code said the problem was the prior recalled canister purge valve. Took it back to the dealer and they did their electronic test again and said it was the gas tank fill tube valve. Four days later the check engine light came on again and the codes again said it was the canister purge valve. This time the dealer did as I asked them and mechanically checked the valve, and discovered that it and the vapor canister had failed. However, ford will not cover the repair. Is this allowed? I will mail a letter with more detail. After researching the issue, this particular valve commonly failed by sticking open or closed and the only way to detect it, was to do a mechanical test by taking the hoses off and checking for pressure or vacuum. The dealer did not perform the test properly. Updated 05/31/16.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that when fuel was pumped into the fuel tank, the fuel spewed back out of the tank and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the purge valve cracked, causing the fuel tank to leak. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
While passing three semi trucks in the third lane of a highway at 70 MPH, the engine power cut out. Navigating across three lanes of highway through multiple vehicles was terrifying. My life was placed with in jeopardy, yet the ford motor company refuses to recognize its throttle body control problem as a safety issue.
(1) may 5, 2015: in traffic 65mph on ma rt3s, engine "blubbered" then died in left lane. Succeeded not being hit by vehicles, parked on shoulder. Wrench light lit. Engine finally started and ran ok after 15 minutes; (2) june 6, 2015: pulling into 99 restaurant, quincy, ma, car suddenly died, wrench light lit. Car was not completely within the lot. Car pushed into lot with the help of three males. Car started after c. 12 minutes.; (3) june 24, 2015: exiting betsy's diner, falmouth, ma on rt28 in traffic, car blubbered then died, wrench light lit. Black dodge ram narrowly missed us! Car started with 3-5 minutes; (4) october 2, 2015: on ma tpk, I-90w in fast traffic, car lost power, blubbered, then died in front of the charlton state police station. Engine re-started within 12 minutes, ran roughly for a few minutes, then cleared, ran ok; (5) october 7, 2015: 1315, engine shook then died two blocks after leaving car wash on centre street, quincy, ma, wrench lit. Narrow street. Lit the hazard flashers, exited car. After 15 minutes re-entered car which started after 3 attempts; (6) october 7, 2015: 1405: within a block after leaving our house, the car engine again blubbered then died, wrench lit. Pulled to the curb, sat for five minutes. Car was restarted. Three times I have brought my milan to our local automotive guru who attached his scanner and conformed 2111 code and 2112 codes (2). I purchased the car from enterprise sales rentals at 24,000 miles, now 58,000 miles. Never have received a recall notice of any type. Research indicates a number of tsbs related to throttle body issues but no notice from fomoc or local dealer. There is potential for being killed in this car. How to get the car properly repaired?
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.
Driving down the car stalled and sputtered pulled over and it restarted fine drink half mile and did it again almost go hit by a car this tim I happen 5 months ago and I was almost rear ended was told my ford dealership that is the throttle body ford issued a extended warranty but will not replace it unless the car fails which I think is bs if my family is hurt I'll be filing suit against ford and the dealership.
While driving my car on the interstate in a construction zone the engine lost all power and dropped to around 1000 RPM no matter if I pressed on the accelerator or not. I was nearly rear-ended by a semi and there was no emergency lane for me to pull the car over to. It costed for about 3/4 of a mile until I could pull behind some orange barriers. After shutting it off and calling roadside assistance I restarted the car and it was fine. I took back roads home without incident. The next day while going 65 on the interstate it happened again but I was prepared for a problem and was able to get to an emergency lane to turn the car off. It restarted fine and drove fine again until the next day when it happened at 20mph on a city street. The dealer has had it for 3 days now and have not identified the issue.
The fuel tank has a developed a crack. This has been examined by a certified mechanic who concluded the crack is a manufacturing defect and not the result of any sort of road debris or anything striking the tank. The mechanic indicates this type of crack is common in the mercury milan and ford fusion.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, there was a fuel odor and leaking fuel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure vehicle was 54,000.
When trying to accelerate my car chugs and feels as if it wants to stall. I have to accelerate at a very very slow pace.
The vehicle suddenly stalled while driving at highway speeds (55mph) in heavy traffic. Rapid deceleration and many dashboard lights came on. I was able to change to the right lane and then bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder safely, avoiding an accident, as the car was in rapid deceleration and stepping on the gas was unresponsive. There was no acceleration, or engine noise or response when I stepped on the gas pedal while in drive position and the key in the on position.I turned the car off for several minutes, wondering what to do. I then turned the key back on, and the car was able to drive. I took side roads home and then scheduled an appointment at the selling manufacturer dealership. The defect was in the throttle body? They would not cover the $500 repair under the new vehicle warranty (out on time), the $1700 extended warranty I purchased (not covered part), the emissions warranty (not covered part) or the hybrid warranty ( not covered part), or any recall, or goodwill service plan or service bulletin repairs. Then I found out there was a settlement with the federal safety agency for similar incidents that ford agreed to extend the warranty on the throttle body for 150,000 miles or 10 years. (this vehicle is a 2010 with just over 20,000 miles. They said it is not covered under the settlement because it a hybrid and they were not included in the settlement. I think that this premature failure of an item that they will replace if defective in 150,000 miles or ten years as part of a settlement to avoid a recall and associated public disclosure, should be covered under the agreement. I have the part from the dealer. Even though there are fewer hybrids on the road as a statistic, it only takes one failure to cause a tragic result. I can send the part for investigation to determine if there were not enough suppliers and parts identified prior to the settlement.
I was merging onto a highway going about 60 MPH. My car suddenly went into an idle and the wrench icon came on in the indicator dash. Luckily, I was able to pull over to the shoulder and no vehicle was behind me. I turned off the car and was then able to accelerate. Later in the day, I was again driving on the highway at about 65 MPH. When the same thing happened. I then went directly to a ford dealer. They immediately knew what the problem was and said ford had extended their warranty on this problem to 120,000 miles. This is ridiculous! I am sure someone will and probably have been fatally injured because of this issue.there needs to be a recall!!
Immediately after entering a main highway, the engine seemed to die yet idled around 1000 RPM. The dash lights came on, the engine sputtered, but wouldn't increase speed and vehicle wouldn't move more than 2 or 3 miles per hour. After getting it off road and turning ignition off for a couple of minutes, it started and drove fine.
Driving thru town at approx 30 MPH the vehicles warning lights flashed for check engine and the throttle control warning (wrench) illuminated. The vehicle would not respond to any activation of the gas peddle and drifted to idle power. Not understanding what went wrong, I shut the car down and restarted it to clear the faults. I re-entered traffic and proceeded about 50 ft before it happened again. I proceeded to follow the same reset process and was able to limp the car home. The car was towed away and repaired by replacing the electronic throttle body. Research shows that since 2004 ford has known that this problem exists and that the engine design default is to bring the car down to idle power. Internet chat boards have stories of this happening on highways at high rates of speed. Ford claims there is no recall because the government (you guys) have not required them to do so despite the failure mode, and public safety implications, being exactly the same as the federal safety agency action number pe13031. Ford fixed the problem recently but did not scrap old defective inventory and refuses to fix those suspect parts on our roads. They have calculated the costs and choose to risk public safety instead of a recall.
Throttle body failed without warning. Car immediately lost power and had no accelerator response and would only idle. This would have been dangerous had the vehicle not been in an area where it was immediately safe to pull over. Throttle body was changed, the second time it's happened to this vehicle.
2010 mercury milan with 3.0 liter v-6 build date march 2010. Car went into limited limp mode while it was being driven at less than 30 MPH. This has happened on three occasions. Each time the engine drops to a rough idle at 500 to 900 RPM and the "wrench" light is illuminated. Engine does not respond to throttle input. Car speed drops drastically but steering and brakes appear to operate normally. (engine is still running an close to normal idle speeds.) engine does not produce enough power to go up the slightest of inclines. After restarting, the engine the condition clears and car drives normally. Portable obdii scan tools do not indicate any dtc codes. Dealer replaced throttle body mechanism due to an intermittent short in the position sensing circuit. Dealer kept old unit due to core charge. This is a safety concern in that under many traffic conditions the car may be hit from behind or unable to move to a safe shoulder out of the traffic flow.
My wife and I own a 2010 mercury milan. One day last week, as my wife was leaving work, the car suddenly lost power, sputtered and was not able go faster than 10 MPH. The car went into the "limp home" mode. We subsequently took the car to the ford dealership where the problem was diagnosed as a "networking problem" and was told that the throttle body must be replaced! Now, I am told that there is a nationwide shortage of this part and it will be at least two weeks before the part will arrive! The dealer estimates that the repair will cost $750. I respectfully request that your agency issue a recall on these vehicles. I believe that this throttle body defect has produced a life-safety hazard and should be addressed quickly! Thank you.
