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.

Continuing phone call ref.# 326373:(did not have all information in front of me to continue). 12/12/2019 took car to firestone tire and automotive and wanted them to check my brakes because something was not right with them. The put new brakes and rotors on front and back. Problem was car was hesitant in stopping, then would "grab." while driving, if I had to use brakes, car would not immediately resume speed after brakes released. Rpm's go way up, mpg drops to "0," then car accelerates. It is very hesitant in picking speed back up. Twice I took car to shop to have them check it out.(4/13/20 and 9/1/20) could not find anything. No problem came up on computer. No engine light. I believe recall #19s54/the federal safety agency 19v‑904 responsible. Received recall notice january 2020. I have called local ford dealership to see if parts available to fix and was told (also on website) they would be available probably last part of first quarter of 2020. Now last part of third quarter and no parts. Afraid car will "stall" in traffic and cause accident.

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.

Pulled 2008 milan in parking lot, put in park, engine began to race, tapped gas pedal, engine returned to normal. Car started fine, driven short distance, I stopped at stop sign. Put foot on gas pedal, car began 'limp home' mode, was able to pull to curb. Wrench light appeared. Shut car off a few minutes.started fine, wrench light on, was able to drive few blocks to get home. Next day started engine 3 times, each stalling within seconds. Never had issues with car. Purchased precertified in 2011, 52,0000 mi. On it. Will own 7 yrs. May 2018. I put 1000 mi. Yrly. On car. Odometer now under 59,500. On 3/9/18 car towed to dealership (where I purchased it). Car sat in lot 10 days before looked at. Finally, checked and diagnosed. Installed new throttle body. Re-tested. Problem. Installed new accelerator. Re-test. Problem. Codes appearing. I contacted ford motor co. In michigan.told to keep calling dealership. I've spoken to numerous staff already & asked for loaner car. Not granted. I did internet research & found lawsuit against ford about 'limp home' mode involving throttle body & computer sensors defect on ford, mercury & lincoln brought on by nccc. Ford not forced to recall this defect involving 1.6 million cars. Many internet sites have shown complaints with this issue. It is a major safety hazard! Numerous owners wrote to validate car repaired only to experience same 'limp home' incident return. Stories involve highway driving when loss of acceleration occurred. Someone has to be killed by this manufacturing defect before it's back to forcing ford to own up to neglect to make a profit. My experience leaves me without a car, cancellations of appts, relying on cabs or friend to shop.this is a serious safety issue. It's now 4 weeks without a car. Am told warranty expired. Can I please be directed to proper government agency with jurisdiction to help me resolve this?
