Owners have filed 251 complaints
about the 2006 Mercury Milan with NHTSA between 2006 and 2026.
The largest single group is the airbags.
Across this model's run it ranks 5 of 6 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 23
Against the median year of the Mercury Milan. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 25
4.8% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 17
10% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

NHTSA crash tests
The agency crash-tested this model year itself. These are its own
photographs and star ratings.
These stars come from the pre-2011 crash test programme. NHTSA
rebuilt the programme for the 2011 model year and states that
ratings either side of that change are not comparable — so do
not read these against a 2011-or-newer car's stars.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2006 Mercury Milan
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 2006 Mercury Milan
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 2021029274,737 units in Canada
Airbag
Issue: On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective Action: Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
Recall 201966554,292 units in Canada
Brakes
Issue: On certain cars, a problem with the hydraulic control unit for the anti-lock brake system (ABS) could cause increased brake pedal travel. Safety Risk: Increased brake pedal travel could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the ABS module assembly. The system will be flushed with DOT 4 brake fluid, and if necessary, the hydraulic control unit will be replaced. Dealers will also replace the DOT 3 reservoir cap with a new DOT 4 cap.
Recall 2019005300,898 units in Canada
Airbag
Issue: On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator replaced. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected. Additional note: This recall supersedes recalls 2016-347 (Ford Safety Improvement Program 16S26), 2017-024 (Ford Recall 17S01) and 2018-035 (Ford Recall 18S01). Vehicles repaired under the previous recalls do not require repair under this recall.
Recall 20163475,867 units in Canada
Airbag
Ford Canada is conducting a voluntary Safety Improvement Program involving passenger airbag inflators in certain vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in certain high humidity areas of the United States equipped with Takata airbags. Ford will replace the driver or passenger inflator on affected vehicles, depending on the vehicle involved. Owners who believe their vehicles may have been originally purchased or registered in the states of New Jersey, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands should contact a Ford dealer. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Note: This Safety Improvement Program is superseded by recall 2019005 (Ford Recall 19S01). Please see <a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&&rn=2019005">recall 2019005</a> for more information.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE THE BRAKES HAVE SUDDENLY GONE "SOFT", MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BREAK. ONE TIME THE DRIVER WENT OVER A BUMPY AREA IN THE ROAD AND TWO OTHER TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN THE ROADS WERE WET. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN REAR-ENDING ANOTHER CAR. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE DRIVER WAS HEADING NORTH ON GOVERNOR'S SQUARE BOULEVARD TOWARDS E. MAGNOLIA DRIVE IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY AND THE ROADS WERE WET. THE DRIVER WAS WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MPH. AS THE DRIVER APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT WAS RED. WHEN THE DRIVER HIT THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT "SOFT" AND SHE HAD TO PUSH IT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO CONTINUING BRAKING. THOUGH THE CAR WAS SLOWING, IT WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP BEFORE THE REACHING OTHER CARS AT THE INTERSECTION. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE CAR REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR WHICH THEN PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT. THE DRIVERS OF THE 2 OTHER VEHICLES STOPPED, POLICE CAME, AND A CRASH REPORT WAS ISSUED. WE DETERMINED IT WOULD BE BEST TO LEAVE THE CAR PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE DETERMINED IF THE BRAKES WOULD RECOVER. WHEN WE RETURNED THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, THE DRIVER IS NOT DRIVING THE CAR. IN THE PREVIOUS 2 OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PROBLEMS, WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST TIME, NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND (DATE COULD BE PROVIDED WITH AUTO RECORDS). THE SECOND TIME (AROUND MAY 2017), IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A MASTER CYLINDER AND THAT WAS PART WAS REPLACED AND THE REPAIR COMPLETED. BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND INCIDENT, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY REDONE AS REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR. SO, THE CORRECTION WORK PERFORMED AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE, WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 MERCURY MILAN ON 65MPH HIGHWAY ENGINE STARTED SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS REVING UP. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY. A SMALL WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE A WRENCH CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF I RESTARTED VEHICLE AND MADE IT HOME WITH LIGHT OFF. NOW EACH TIME I START TO DRIVE ANYWHERE WRENCH LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND ENGINE SEEMS TO REV UP AND UNABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. VEHICLE IS ALSO IDLING FAST. I'VE NOTED PER ONINE CONVERSATION THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES. UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS RECURRING ISSUE AS I'VE OWNED CAR LESS THAN 30DAYS.
