| 2010 | ENGINE | I PURCHASED A 2010 MERCURY MILAN IN DEC OF 2012 WITH 26000 MILES. A FEW WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS EMISSIONS. THEY REPLACED THE CAR BATTERY AND SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE CAR. ALL THEY EVER ASK ME IS DO I ALWAYS GO TO THE SAME GAS STATION OR IF IT HAPPENS AFTER I GET GAS AT WHICH I ANSWERED NO. IT'S NOW BEEN LESS THEN A YEAR SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON 5 TIMES. I'M SURE IF I TOOK THE CAR IN AS SOON AS THE LIGHT CAME ON IT WOULD BE MORE TIMES BUT I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME AND SCHEDULE AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A LOANER RIGHT AWAY SO AT TIMES IT TAKES ME OVER A MONTH TO TAKE IT IN. THIS IS A HASSLE AND ALL I GET TOLD IS THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THEY RESET THE LIGHT BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME BACK ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND AT THIS POINT I'M THINKING IF LOOKING INTO LEMON LAW. HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM? I HAD A 2007 MERCURY MILAN IN THE PAST AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MAKES A NOISE AS IF IT WERE SHIFTING VERY HARD ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT. IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION AND DASHBOARD LIGHT ILLUMINATES. PULLED VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RPM NEEDLE BOUNCED AS CAR LUNGED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO KNEW BASED ON MY DESCRIPTION A POSSIBLE CAUSE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, DIAGNOSTICS PROVED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR MADE. RESEARCH PROVED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. IT WAS A VERY FOGGY MORNING AND SEVERAL MULTI CAR ACCIDENTS HAD BEEN REPORTED. HAD I BEEN ON BUSIER STRETCH OF ROAD AT THE TIME OF THE BREAK DOWN I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED WITH SLOWING DOWN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY EVIDENT CAUSE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND REFUNDS MADE TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE. *TR |
