| 2010 | ENGINE | VEHICLE STALLED AND THEN STOPPED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. RE-STARTED, TRAVELED SHORT DISTANCE, AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR MANY TIMES WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTIONS, PULLING ON HIGHWAY RAMPS, AND PULLING OUT OF INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT TO FORD (MERCURY) DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPEAT PROBLEM. NO CODE READING. CAR CONTINUED TO REPEAT PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES - NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO OBD CODES ON READER. CAR FINALLY STOPPED COMPLETELY. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS THROTTLE BODY. PART IS ON BACK ORDER - 6 MONTHS ANTICIPATED SINCE SO MANY (TOGETHER WITH FORD FUSION) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEE FROM NHTSA COMPLAINTS THAT AT LEAST 35 HAVE BEEN REGISTERED ON MILAN. FORD SEEMS TO IGNORE THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OR TO TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. STARTED JUST AFTER PURCHASE (31,000 MILES). NOW HAD 41,000 MILES. *TR |
