About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Under load (acceleration into traffic), the transmission does not engage, stuck between gears causing the car to redline and go nowhere. Also, noticed stuttering in shifting of the car at certain gears. Does this very intermittently, but when it does, it could have been in dangerous situations if I was trying to merge into traffic. Ford service was unable to replicate, but it has done it a half dozen times since the first time I bought the car.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the transmission would not shift gears. While driving it was difficult to tell which gear the vehicle was in and the rpms increased rapidly. The contact released the accelerator pedal which lowered the rpms. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the vehicle was operating normally. The failure mileage was 11,000. Updated 05/05/11 updated 5/2/11 the consumer stated from a dead stop up to 45-50 mph, the transmission would automatically shift into 6th gear. Updated 05/26/11. Updated 07/12/11 updated 1/11/11

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan this car has been in the shop many times the transmission was slipping it has left me in the middle of an intersection and the last straw was 3 weeks ago when the transmission kicked in when I was turning it popped my neck and I hit a curb. I do not feel safe in the car. One time the gas pedal stuck and I had to reach down and pull out my floor mat. Also trim parts just fall off of this thing.
