“Prior to the incident described the car was acting perfectly fine and had never died or been difficult to start. On the morning of sept 23rd I got in the car I started it and it died immediately. I started the car again and drove for approximately 1 block and it died again. I restarted it and it drove a couple more blocks and when I stopped at a stop sign it died again. After this the car would start but would shut off as soon as I put the car in gear. Every time the car died the check charging system light would come on. The car was towed to the local ford dealer. …”

“The 2006- 2012 Mercury Milan and ford fusion are very likely to loose power steering and brakes. Due to the the way the belt tensioner is mounted on the engine is it very common that the bolt holding the pulley in place will snap causing accesories to shut off due to the belt falling off, ford will not take care of it, myself and hundred of others are having this issue as I went to forums online and found alot of people have the same issue, these are very safe dependable cars until this started happeing to all of us, if you are unsure as to if you should believe, start a poll with the owners…”
