Mercury Milan slipping problems

Engine goes to 4000 at highway speed and transmission slips while driving at 70 on interstate. Won't shift unless throttle is backed way off. At low speed on 2-1 downshift, it bangs into gear jerking you out of the seat and causing possible loss of control. Only does it on slight inclines. I purchased new 11/3/2009 car only has 24,818 miles on it and has been serviced only at ford dealers.

Well we were driving through the appalachian mountains on the highway, we went to pass a car that was slow. We stepped on the accelerator and it tried to shift into overdrive (because everyone if flying through there). But, as that happened the transmission slipped and sent the rpms to a really scary area where we thought it was going to blow up. Luckily, they came back down but as we would drive until it stopped. A couple months later we figured out if when that happened if we pulled over turned the car off let it sit for a minute then turn it back on and it would work fine for a while then. So, to me it almost seems like its a computer issue but its not because we went to an as-e certified shop and had the computers flashed then reprogrammed and it still does it while driving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercury milan. While operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor illuminated intermittently. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. Also, while driving, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the transmission would slip when shifting gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 84,000.

Transmission is slipping, car is bucking and sometimes the engine slips to a reduced speed. I have to take my foot on and off the accelerator several times before the speed will increase. This is very dangerous during rush hour.

The first incident my car was bucking and shaking. I took to dealer and they replaced the computer that ran the transmission and 3 coils. Now at 77,000 it again is having slipping issues with the transmission. These issues seem to happen at random times, but usually between 40 and 50 MPH. When you put your foot on the gas to accelerate from 40-50mph there is a loud banging sound when the transmission slips and you lose acceleration. You have to take your foot off the gas and try repeatedly again to get the car to accelerate. I almost got rear-ended by a tractor trailer when I attempted to change lanes, but could not accelerate due to the slipping problem. It took it to mechanic who had the car for 2 weeks and couldn't find the problem. Mechanic took it to ford dealer and they said they put on computer diagnostics and couldn't find a problem. I have found countless other reports on the internet of people who have the same problem and even people who have reported either having to drive off the highway due to the lack of acceleration and also of people who have gotten into accidents due to this problem of not being able to accelerate. This is a very dangerous situation to be in on the highway - not being able to accelerate!!!!! I'm worried about getting in an accident and/or getting killed.

My mercury milan, I started noticing multiple problems of my air bag back in 2010, that as I first start the car, that the air bag light on the control panel would be on, after about 15-20 minutes it would then go off, but now on all the time due to a module under the passenger seat. The 2nd problem is of my transmission, while in traffic, alot of stopping and starting, I noticed my transmission seems to slip out as if I'm in neutral, I've seen there was a recall or talk of it for this problem of some of the newer models, but the year for 2007, there is nothing for it, so this problem started well before the years that were listed, this concerns me as if I needed to move out of the way for some odd reason, specially while having family in the car, there'd be now way of doing so quickly if desired, and would absorb an impact of any .so the 2 items listed concerns me as a consumer for "safety reason" specially when driving my children or grandchildren with me.

Vehicle automatic transmission will attempt to downshift to lower gear on an upward hill or grade. Without warning, transmission disengages, slips, and suddenly jerks into gear causing the vehicle to lunge forward, sometimes forceful enough to possibly lose control. Many other ford vehicle models were also affected. Ford issued a technical service bulletin #08-24-1 in 2008 about the known problem, but will do nothing about it after warranty expiration.
