What owners say
Interior component of interior driver's door handle snapped preventing driver from opening the door while inside the car. This plastic connector broke when operator placed standard force on handle to open the door.
Inside driver door handle brakes easily due to plastic construction. Happened on my car at 72,000 miles and twice on my son's car. Potential hazard in not being able to escape vehicle in an accident.
Door handles keep breaking and locking mechanisms always malfunction. Either won't lock or won't unlock. Keep replacing but parts are all plastic. Also door on drivers sude the thing to hold it open also plastic and broke. Has been happening fo several years now. First time I just thought I'll replace part and I'm good. But even my sons 2010 does the same thing. $200 in a shop for 1 door handle repair

2007 mercury milan. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle door handles, latches and locks malfunction- has to open doors manually. Consumer seeks reimbursement for repairs. *smd updated 07/18/2017
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.
