The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that the fuel tank fractured and leaked fuel. The contact stated that the vehicle had been at an independent mechanic for four weeks now. The vehicle was taken to legacy Ford (413 industrial blvd, mcdonough, ga 30253, (770) 914-2800) one year ago to be repaired per an unknown recall. The dealer stated that there was no failure with the vehicle and diagnostic testing did not reveal a code regarding a vapor lock failure that may have damaged the fuel tank. The contact began to smell a fuel odor on September 25, 2019 and she noticed a huge puddle of fuel on the driveway. She took the vehicle back to the dealer and was shown the stress crack on the fuel tank. The dealer acknowledged that the failure was from the recall repair a year earlier; however, they would have to charge the contact for the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted, but the dealer and contact had not heard back. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

Takata recall. We were notified years ago, still passenger side air bag not replaced. Now Ford is telling us not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. Ford had ignored all our correspondence. It's rediculous, will never purchase another Ford product.

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.

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.
