Vehicle lost most engine power. Could only be driven at low speed. Turned ignition off and then re-started. Vehicle then seemed ok until it did it again......and again and again. Took vehicle to dealership where they replaced some valve and gave the car back to us. Car did not make it 2 miles before it exhibited the initial problem. In other words "they fixed nothing for the price of around $500.00." the vehicle is now going back to the de.... Stealership.

Driving on a straight away the vehicle suddenly makes a noise as if it were shifting very hard although it was not. Immediately lost acceleration and dashboard light illuminates. Pulled vehicle to the side of the road and RPM needle bounced as car lunged but would not accelerate. Called for roadside assistance and my dealer's service department who knew based on my description a possible cause. Vehicle towed to dealer, diagnostics proved throttle body needed to be replaced. Repair made. Research proved that this is a known problem but no recall has been made. It was a very foggy morning and several multi car accidents had been reported. Had I been on busier stretch of road at the time of the break down I could have easily been killed with slowing down suddenly and without any evident cause. A recall should be issued and refunds made to those who have already experienced this failure.

On 10/3/13 while driving home in heavy traffic on the interstate my 2011 milan with 44,000 miles on it sputtered and died at freeway speed. Still had electrical power and the wrench warning light on the dash was lit up. I was able to coast to the shoulder and stop the vehicle. Once restarted the car went three days before again dying on the interstate in heavy traffic, after doing some research I discovered this was a common problem with ford throttle bodies on several makes and models. 10/12/13 I purchased a new throttle body from my local ford dealer and installed it the same day. I test drove the vehicle and it appears that the new throttle body fixed the issue and also another symptom I had been noticing, it was a very slight hesitation in the transmission in all gears.

I made a left turn from a complete sign. In the middle of the intersection, the car decelerated and the wrench symbol on the dash came on. As I pulled over, the car started shaking and cut off. I had my children get out of the car because I was unsure of what was going on. I turned the car off, took the key from the ignition. I waited about 5 minutes and then restarted the car. I started and everything was ok. On 9/25/13, this happened while I was driving on a straight road. 9/28/13 - it happened while driving 65 MPH on the interstate. 9/30/13 - after filling the car with gas, on a major road. 10/1/13 - just driving. 10/8 - making a left turn . There is not a warning before it happens.

Driving at highway speed, I lost the ability to use the throttle. The engine ran, but did not respond to the pedal. I was forced to pull the car over, in traffic, and restart the car. Once the car was restarted, I was able to accelerate.

I was on the interstate going 70 miles an hour and the engine just quit this was the second time it had happened the first time I had my grandaughter and 2 great grandchildren in the car with me and was going 60 miles an hour and the engine just stopped could not give it gas pulled over to the side of the road and shut the car off and started it back up and made it home. The second time I was on the interstate going 70 miles and hour again had to pull over to the side stop vehicle and restart, thank god I was not in the traffic at columbia missouri in the traffic while taking my grandaughter to the doctor. The third time it happened I was taking my daughter to columbia to the doctor and again it quit while going 70 miles an hour had to pull off the busy highway and stop the car. It happened a 4th time on my husband while taking my daughter to the hospital on his way to columbia this is within 5 weeks so it is happening about one time a week both our daughter and grandaughter will be making regular trips to the hospital and I also travel a lot with the grand children who are 4 years old and 6 months old they are in this vehicle daily, and it scares me that I may not be able to get out of the way when going at these speeds and what if I'm passing another car and it just dies and I can't get out of the way? Ford motors is aware of this problem why not fix it, before someone gets killed, we take drunk driver off the road, but this is just as dangerous. For safety do I need to just park it in garage, our golf cart is more dependable, should I just park this vehicle which I just purchased I can't afford another one we are both retired we have 2 ford vehicles at this time and drove our last ford truck for over 10 years.
