2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid

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. *TR

THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT GOES ON INDICATING A SUPPOSED ENGINE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ENGINE PERFORMS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THIS SPORADIC FAILURE OCCURS. IT HAS REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND THE TROUBLE CODE THAT HAS BEEN LOGGED IS P2112, WHICH RELATES TO A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERING SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND MODELS (INCLUDING 2010 MERCURY MILANS) WITH THIS STYLE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE WARRANTY REPORTEDLY COVERS THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT UP TO TEN YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR USES THE SAME THROTTLE THROTTLE BODY AS OTHER AFFECTED MILANS, MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THOUGH IT SHOULD BE. NOW IT SEEMS THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET FORD TO COVER THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM ON OTHER, VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL, VEHICLES. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MILAN HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER. ALTHOUGH I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE REDUCED ITS SPEED DRASTICALLY AND COULD NOT EXCEED ABOUT 10 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A PARKING LOT AT VERY LOW SPEED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS RESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS REAPPEARED. THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, I WAS A FEW BLOCKS FROM A FORD DEALER. I VERY CAREFULLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY SLOW UNRESPONSIVE SPEED TO THE DEALER.THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT FORD INFORMS ME IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THEIR CUST. SATISFACTION #13N03 EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS, SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, SAME DIAGNOSTIC CODE, SAME FAILURE AND SAME PART FIX AS THE VIN'S THAT ARE COVERED IN THIS PROGRAM. FORD CANNOT TELL ME (OR SHOULD I SAY 'WILL' NOT TELL ME) WHY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR 'SATISFACTION' PROGRAM. THIS WAS A $400 REPAIR.

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. *TR
