Q&A

I wish I could help as my 2006 Mercury Milan Premier is doing the same thing. The dealership tried to say that my car must have hit a slick spot while driving but this happen while I was sitting a red light, light turnt green and as I tried to drive off thie indicator light (wrench) turn on and I couldn't accelerate or move over 5 mph....

My car did the same thing last night. $460.99 to get a replacement 'electronic throttle body' from a Ford Dealership Repair Shop. It is a 2006 Mercury Milan Premier with 82,000 miles. Luckily they had the part in stock and they fixed it today. It has to do with the computer components so I don't think it's a DIY fix.

I am having the same exact issue that is described in these email threads. Happened last month 3 times on the way to a movie. Then did not happen again until today. My car is a 2011 Mercury Milan Premier V6 Automatic, with 43,000 miles on it. Taking to the shop next week.

The Milan is a hunk of junk..... I have a 2006 Milan and this wrench light thing and slowing down while driving and shuttering has all happened to this car... last year the dealership told us the motor was blown so here we go $8000.00 to have that replaced (we still owed on this car and the only option was to fix it), now its doing the same thing (less than a year later) and now they are telling us its the throttle body... Get rid of this car as fast as you can.....

I am now in the same boat. I own a 2006 Mercury Milan. It has been a great car now have 115000 miles in. Today was at a light and stopped car shuttered a bit and the orange wrench icon came on. Light turned green i stepped on gas and barely moved less then 5mph. I got into next parking lot got out to do basic check in engine and see if fluids were leaking nothing. I checked connections and fair filter all good. had battery changed 6 months ago. I got back in started it up wrench gone car drove fine next 3 miles to work. I have noticed the shifting kicking or hard shifting a bit rough. So I bough the car from my dad who is a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealer to see exactly what the wrench was. He had the service guys talk to me and first one said the light has to do with throttle body/transmission errors and they had a lot of milans come in with bad torque convertors. The upper tech asked some questions and said he believes its more then likely a throttle body issue either dirty or failing. My next step is after work to clean the throttle body and sensor and also the MAF sensor and see if this occurs again. After that said if it happens again take it in and have them try to diagnois the throttle body which is electronic which maybe going bad. I'm on the hunt now for a salvage milan to see if I can prepare for a new throttle body which I can change myself if need be. Guess have to make sure we all report at ford.com what we are finding as this seems like a recall issue with so many same issues.
