| 2011 | ENGINE | ON TWO OCCASIONS ON THE SAME DAY (7/17/13), ONCE AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 15 MPH) AFTER TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND LATER THE SAME DAY AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2011 MERCURY MILAN WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR LOST ADEQUATE POWER OTHER THAN TO ESSENTIALLY COAST TO REST. ONCE AT REST, IT WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE IDLING. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF ONLY TO COME BACK ON AGAIN AFTER ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE CAR. AT THIS POINT, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR DEFINITIVELY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT "SUSPECTED" IT MIGHT BE DUE TO THROTTLE BODY ISSUES (WHICH AS I UNDERSTAND IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION AS NOTED BELOW): INVESTIGATION SUBJECT : ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: FEB 21, 2013 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: OPEN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AS THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DEFINITIVELY DIAGNOSE OR REPLICATE THE ISSUE DURING IN-SHOP TESTING OR WHILE ROAD TEST DRIVING IT THEMSELVES FOR 9 MILES, THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN (LESS THAN 9 MILES AWAY).....THIS TIME AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX 65 MPH). ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. UPON RE-STARTING THE CAR, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES. WHILE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN YET (I'VE ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY SINCE ALL THIS OCCURRED), THIS ISSUE IS MOST CERTAINLY AN UNPREDICTABLE, SERIOUS DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. *TR |
| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | VEHICLE IS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN V-6 PREMIER PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2009 WITH LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO CAR FAX SHEET, NO ACCIDENTS, NO PROBLEMS WITH CAR. DROVE OFF LOT ELECTRONIC READER INDICATED 23 MPG AND 27 MPG AVERAGE. ONE MONTH AGO MPG WENT DOWN TO 16.5 AND MPG AV 18.5!!! THEN WENT BACK UP A BIT TO 18.5 MPG AND NOW IT IS AGAIN 16.5 MPG. I AM FURIOUS AND WILL BRING BACK TO COLONIAL NISSAN IN FEASTERVILLE WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. HUGE MPG DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE US EPA MPG AND THE CURRENT HORRIBLE MPG WORSE THAN MY 1993 NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH IS 20 MPG! IS IT THE ETHANOL IN THE GAS? IS IT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS/AIR RATIO? ALSO, NOTICED PEDAL ACCELERATION ISSUE. LATELY NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION... CAN PUSH PEDAL AND NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION FOR TOO LONG A TIME. WHAT IS GOING ON???? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FRAUD. THANK YOU. IF IT IS SIMPLY AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SOFTWARE THEN I'M OKAY WITH THAT BUT IT THE MPG IS THIS BAD I'M TRADING IT IN... *TR |
