Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2010 Mercury Milan owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

The contact's father-in-law owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that upon refueling the vehicle, her father-in-law noticed that fuel was leaking on the rear passenger side tire. The contact's husband then verified that fuel was leaking from the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank was fractured and needed to be replaced. The dealer diagnosed and determined that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken for State Inspection, where it was diagnosed with evaporated emission system leak related to the canister purge valve. The contact's husband replaced the canister purge valve; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. …

Well for starters its throwing a code saying that I have a small fuel leak some where and the 2 is one day I had a flat and after I changed the tire the power steering went out and not only that but the car has a heavy vibration in it and while driving it want to take off either left or right which ended up with me running off the road twice already

I collided with three parked vehicles and my airbags did not deploy causing me to hit my head

I received a recall notice (15v-793) from Ford in January 2016 about the canister purge valve, vapor canister, gas tank, and power control module on my 2010 Mercury Milan. I took it to the Ford dealer and they did an electronic test and said it was OK. One month later the check engine light came on and the code said the problem was the prior recalled canister purge valve. Took it back to the dealer and they did their electronic test again and said it was the gas tank fill tube valve. Four days later the check engine light came on again and the codes again said it was the canister purge valve. This time the dealer did as I asked them and mechanically checked the valve, and discovered that it and the vapor canister had failed. However, Ford will not cover the repair. Is this allowed? I will mail a letter with more detail. …

Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 MPH, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When I got home after a few restarts I hooked up my comupter to read the OBD code that came on !! It was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! After reseting the OBD code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! A design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed. A recal should be in the works for Ford !!! I have read too many complaints about the same problem. My car has 32,000 miles and is a 2010 year.

While driving my car on the interstate in a construction zone the engine lost all power and dropped to around 1000 RPM no matter if I pressed on the accelerator or not. I was nearly rear-ended by a semi and there was no emergency lane for me to pull the car over to. It costed for about 3/4 of a mile until I could pull behind some orange barriers. After shutting it off and calling roadside assistance I restarted the car and it was fine. I took back roads home without incident. The next day while going 65 on the interstate it happened again but I was prepared for a problem and was able to get to an emergency lane to turn the car off. It restarted fine and drove fine again until the next day when it happened at 20mph on a city street. The dealer has had it for 3 days now and have not identified the issue.

My steering wheel completely went off in the freeway I got a sign on the dashboard to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel stopped working as I was driving in the freeway. After getting this fixed less then a year later the same issue happened as I was driving my steering wheel just locked and it was very difficult for me to steer my car to a safe place. This is the second time this happened the first time being on the freeway and this second time driving in the streets both times it happened while I was driving from one second to the next I got a message to service steering wheel now and then my steering wheel automaticly locked and it made it extremely difficult to manuever the car to a safe place. Both times my children were in the car and it was a very scary thing to go through.

Fuel tank & canister purge valve recall - 15s34 recall - vehicle was inspected for recall in August 2016 and passed the recall and the recall was closed by Ford. In July 2017, the vehicle had a check engine light and message to check fuel tank inlet that would come on and go off in. The check engine light code was related to the EVAP system. Vehicle was taken to the same Ford dealership that performed the recall in 2016. The canister purge valve failed and the fuel filler pipe had leaks and needed replacement. The Ford dealership submitted a 360 claim for the parts and labor. The 360 claim was denied because the car was outside the 7 years of service and the dealership would not warranty the claim because the recall had already been closed.

First of all this has happened on several occasions. Driving down the interstate the car will stall and begin to shake and puts a wrench icon on the dash, the vehicle has no response to the acceleration pedal. I have to pull over and sh u think the car off a few minutes and then go again. It has also happened several times while pulling across traffic from a stop, one time nearly getting me hit from oncoming traffic. It is impossible to tell when or where this will happen. I have called Ford and was denied a repair because my VIN was not on the recall list for the throttle body even though it has the same problem as the ones covered. I have had the diagnostic test and received codes that match as well.
