2010 Mercury Milan brakes problems

I have had the milan 2010 into ford 6 times because the engine lost all power without warning:no lights;brakes;steering. I have witnesses. It has happened in all types of conditions: stop and go traffic; merging onto a freeway. The last time black smoke came from under the hood. The car was in the shop for 6 weeks. A week after it was so called "repaired" the problem occurred again. I started a "lemon law" complaint in march 2012. My mother became fatally ill and died and I could not complete the claim.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but almost went to the floorboard. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who referred the contact to the dealer. The contact called the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided.
