Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving down the turnpike about 65 MPH car began to slow and would not accelerate past 40 MPH even with gas pedal pressed fully - slow to pick up any speed after braking. Wrench lights came on dash. Very dangerous. I see this is an issue (throttle body) with later models too. Repair should be covered on this year as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10945449, filed 2017-01, 79,000 miles“Was driving down the interstate at 65 MPH, vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and engine and throttle/power train indicator lights illuminated on the dash. Had to pull off on the side of the highway. I turned off the vehicle and turned it back on, I was able to drive the vehicle home at 40 MPH, but the indicator lights remained on.”
NHTSA complaint #10759828, filed 2015-08, 56,000 miles“I have a 2010 Mercury milan. This has been an intermittent problem: sometimes the car feels like it does a hard gear shift--the wrench light comes on and the car loses power. I still have power steering and power brakes but pressing on the gas does nothing. If I turn off the engine and restart, it is fine--sometimes for a few minutes and sometimes for a few months.”
NHTSA complaint #10648307, filed 2014-10, 74,000 miles“As I was driving, chime sounded and service power steering and service advancetrac message displayed and warning lights illuminated. I pulled over and turned off vehicle and did a quick check under hood and under vehicle. When I found nothing I restarted vehicle and proceeded to re-enter roadway, chime once again sounded and service power steering now and service advancetrac now messages and lights illuminated but now all power assist to steering was lost making for a very dangerous situation.”
NHTSA complaint #11082243, filed 2018-03, 113,000 miles“While merging into traffic on the interstate, my car (2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid) suddenly lost power and displayed the check engine light as well as the wrench symbol light . I activated my emergency lights and exited the interstate at the next exit. After turning off the car and waiting for 5 minutes, I restarted the car. Only the check engine light was still displayed. After testing the power of the car in the parking lot and it seemed okay, we went back on the interstate to return to our hotel. …”
