2006 Mercury Milan Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“As I was trying to pick up speed from 35 MPH my car started to slow down an my check engine light came on. I immediately took it the mechanic to get the diagnostic test ran on it. It showed that I had a bad ignition coil and spark plugs. I bought the coil from ford and when I got it put in my car 3 minutes later that same coil I bought exploded again! Ima mechanic called ford they said it was a recall on this cars PCM. I've read about this problem from numerous people. Ford needs to do something about this!!!”

“The first incident my car was bucking and shaking. I took to dealer and they replaced the computer that ran the transmission and 3 coils. Now at 77,000 it again is having slipping issues with the transmission. These issues seem to happen at random times, but usually between 40 and 50 MPH. When you put your foot on the gas to accelerate from 40-50mph there is a loud banging sound when the transmission slips and you lose acceleration. You have to take your foot off the gas and try repeatedly again to get the car to accelerate. …”

“Well we were driving through the appalachian mountains on the highway, we went to pass a car that was slow. We stepped on the accelerator and it tried to shift into overdrive (because everyone if flying through there). But, as that happened the transmission slipped and sent the rpms to a really scary area where we thought it was going to blow up. Luckily, they came back down but as we would drive until it stopped. A couple months later we figured out if when that happened if we pulled over turned the car off let it sit for a minute then turn it back on and it would work fine for a while then. …”

“Put my car into park and my key refused to come out of the ignition. I tried numerous times to put my car in park/drive to see if the ignition will unlock, but it is not communicating that it is in park (steering wheel will not lock, I also can't turn the key backwards and put into auxiliary mode. It wouldn't be a bad thing if I didn't live in the city. Besides the fact that the stupid drivers side door latch is busted too which is a security issue along with a safety issue. Can't a consumer rely on a car manufacture to issue parts that don't break or malfunction... …”

“I was driving down the street when my car begin to a lose speed and the check engine light came on and a little wrench so I took it to the shop and I was told that it was the throttle body and I had it replaced and no the check engine light and wrench are back on and I took it back to the ford dealership and was told that ford has a recall on the throttle body that they use in the ford fusion and the Milan and fusion are basically the same car and I don't want to have to shell out another 300.00 for a part that's no good they should really do a recall on the Milan throttle body as well.”
