The 2007MERCURYMILAN carries 505 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 22 crashes, 6 fires, 9 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 MILAN is air bags with 230 filings, followed by service brakes (113) and vehicle speed control (18). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 5 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 22 investigation files overlapping the 2007 MILAN. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The wrench light came on in the car and my OBD sensor will not pick up a code on what it could be. I was driving it yesterday to merge onto a highway when suddenly I couldnât pass 15 mph and was stuck witch cars beeping and zooming around me. I had to shut the car off wait and turn it back on. The amount of complaints Iâve seen about the same exact issue happening to people in the same exact car is ridiculous to not be a recall. I am almost certain itâs a throttle bottle issue. This needs to be looked into and investigated before ford comes across a lawsuit.

I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.

Rear windshield tint has hundreds of bubbles, making it impossible to see especially when dark. Theres been many instances where I have not been able to use my car when itâs dark because of the danger. And if itâs raining, I have absolutely no visibility. Thereâs no words to accurately describe how dangerous this is. I canât back out of anywhere. The pictures will speak for themselves.

I was sent an IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL April 2021. The problem has never been fixed, and it's been almost a year since it was issued, and no parts are in to fix it?
We got the recall letter for the 19S54 anti brake Hydrolic Control Unit. We took my 2007 Milan and they did the text and replaced the cap for the brake fluid. They did the test and said it past on June 26, 2021. On July 2, 2021 I had no brakes. I had it towed to the ford dealer in Forest Grove Oregon. The Manager of service Jeff said the hydrolic control unit failed. He let Ford Corporate know and gave him info. He asked for a work order number so he could order the part. Corporate has never gotten back to him. My husband has called corporate 2 times and the 2 different ladies we spoke with said they find it odd that this is being a problem. The second lady we spoke with tried to get us a manager on the line to speak to. None of them answered their phones. She called Jeff at our for dealer and told him she could not get a manager to answer their phones or email. She told us someone would get back to us. The second call was on Aug 12. How do we get this take care of?
