There is a serious brake light malfunction on 2010 Mercury Milan's that Ford dealerships are charging owners up to $1000 to fix, even on cars that are barely out of warranty! on these vehicles, when the headlights are on, the brake lights are continuously on, whether or not your foot is on the brake pedal! hundreds of complaints are flooding the internet with this problem and Ford is turning a blind eye to it! and, there is no recall!! we just found out we had this problem today after taking our car for its first ever inspection in the Delaware lanes (which it failed due to the malfunction). This is a huge safety hazard. Owners of these cars are basically riding around with no indication of braking when their lights are on and no knowledge that they have a problem. People are going to be getting rear-ended in large numbers. Is it going to take people getting injured and/or killed like in the recent GM ignition key fiasco before Ford takes any action? something needs to be done.

I was in the middle of making a left turn, when my engine suddenly stalled. I lost all acceleration in the middle of my turn, while oncoming traffic was approaching. My check engine light came on with code P2112. I had to pull over, shut the car completely off, and it was fine for only a few more miles. The problem is ongoing and the vehicle is not safe to drive on a highway. Intermittently, at speeds of 30 mph and higher, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and showed signs of throttle body failure. The consumer stated all the symptoms he experienced, were consistent with the NHTSA action number PE13003. Also, the brake lights did not activate, when applied. Updated 11/05/13
