“My Mercury Milan, I started noticing multiple problems of my air bag back in 2010, that as I first start the car, that the air bag light on the control panel would be on, after about 15-20 minutes it would then go off, but now on all the time due to a module under the passenger seat. …”

“My mom was driving on the freeway at 65-70/MPH and all of a sudden the car jerked and shut off while it was rolling down the road. There was no warning! She could have been killed! The car suddenly lost acceleration power and the wheel locked up on her. We've checked to see if there has been any recalls and apparently there's a recall for the 2011 models, but nothing older. However, I have read multiple forums and there's been quite a few people that have had this issue. Again, she could've been killed!! Something needs to be done!!”

NHTSA complaint #11245076, filed 2019-08, 118,000 miles

“My car suddenly lost power and the wrench light came on, at the stop sign I shut the car off and restarted and it was gone. This happened intermittently until recently the car shutters and dies in rush hour traffic when you slow or come to a stop. It also loses power and accellerates very slowly. Now the wrench light is always on and the car surges when driving. I understand others are having trouble with this very issue. All my milage is highway miles as I drive 160 miles round trip per day. …”

“We were northwest bound on the ohio turnpike just before rt 11 south of youngstown. Travelling 70 MPH, the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. The motor continued to run, but the car would not go more than 5 or 10 MPH. The yellow wrench light on the left side of the instrument panel illuminated and remained until the motor was turned off. After sitting on the side of the highway for about an hour, the vehicle was started and the yellow wrench light was gone. Aaa advised me to take the next available turnaround and return home which was about 70 miles away. …”

“The bearing on the drive line of my 2007 Milan is bad and the car has about 29000 miles. It has been over a month since I took the car to a ford dealer to get fixed. The dealer can't get the replacement part from ford.”
