I was driving about 30mph on a straight city road & the steering became difficult.

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…

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…
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…

Rear LED taillight malfunctions. Cost to replace is nearly $400.00. This seems a very height cost to maintain a necessary and legally required piece of safety equipment.
While driving fellow motorist advised my left rear light not operating. Visit to dealer confirmed and price to repair $400 plus labor. That seems a bit high to replace a light bulb! Forget it I will drive until ticketed. However just before my 3 yr warranty was up it happened but on the right rear exterior. That…
