What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mercury milan. The contact was driving 10 MPH when the vehicle accelerated abnormally as he depressed the brakes and shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who ran a diagnostic test but could not duplicate the failure. The dealer kept the vehicle for two weeks with a flight recorder hooked to the engine, but they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified who stated he has to take the vehicle to the dealer for them to inspect the failure.
On two occasions on the same day (7/17/13), once at low speed (less than 15 MPH) after turning into a parking lot and later the same day at 65 MPH on the highway, my 2011 mercury milan went into "limp" mode with the wrench light illuminated on the instrument panel. The car lost adequate power other than to essentially coast to rest. Once at rest, it would not move and the engine began to shake violently while idling.
