2010 MERCURY MILAN Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle body and the throttle body injectors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

I have a 2010 mercury milan premier thats power steering went out I found out the part has been recalled on the 2011 model but not the 2010 model and it's the same exact part so now the 2011 has been recalled but not the 2010 and I'm out over 600 dollars + to fix it

The vehicle just slowed to a stop. I just nursed it to a repair shop!

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE A WRENCH EMBLEM APPEARED ON MY DASH WARNING PANEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. IN THE LAST INSTANCE THE VEHICLE THEN DROPPED SPEED FROM 45 MPH TO 5 MPH AND RAN VERY ROUGHLY. I THEN PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE CURB AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE THEN DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUE. I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL AND FOUND THE INDICATOR WAS A THROTTLE LINKAGE MALFUNCTION. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY BUT THIS DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE. LUCKILY FOR ME THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AS WITHOUT WARNING MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. I CHECKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT FOUND NONE. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

CAR LOOSES ALL POWER ENGINE SHUTTERS AND SPUTTERS VERY DANGEROUS! THROTTLE BODY CODE CAME UP WITH MY MECHANIC TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW . HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES THIS PAST MONTH FORD TOLD ME A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS AT FAULT THAT HAS BEEN FIXED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT OF CAR BASICALLY SHUTTING DOWN ..LIMP MODE FOR SAFETY ??? FORD ! YOU DRIVE THIS CAR 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN LIMP MODE IGAGES PRETTY SCARY !! YOUR GOING TO KILL PEOPLE !

VEHICLE STALL WHILE SITTING AT LIGHT - CAR IN DRIVE. CAR NEEDED TO BE RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GAS AND ACCELERATE. LET CAR SIT FOR AWHILE, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED. OTHER TIMES WHILE IDLE - CAR IN PARK, ENGINE SURGES. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY OTHERS.

THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, STARTED UP. ABOUT A MILE LATER IT STALLED AGAIN...NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON... THEN COMBUSTED INTO FLAMES AND BURNT TO THE GROUND.*DT*AS*DT*JB

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY THERE IS A JERK IN THE CAR, THE TRIANGLE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS PULL OVER WHEN SAFE, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, AND WE CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. WE PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR, AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A TRIP AND MY CAR STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. I WOULD BE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IT WOULD JUST CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET INTO THE SERVICE LANE AND RESTART THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER 7 TIMES OF THIS HAPPENING IN ABOUT AN HOUR, I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A TOW. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MERCURY CARS IN MY MODEL YEAR DUE TO FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS SO WIDESPREAD, FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WOULD COVER A THROTTLE BODY REPAIR FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR WOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE...

TROTTLE ACUTATOR STUCK IN CLOSED POSITION AS THE CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH, PRESSED THE ACCELARATOR BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING,ENGINE WAS AT IDDLE, AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR ABOT A MINUTE AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME AFTER A FEW RESTARTS I HOOKED UP MY COMUPTER TO READ THE OBD CODE THAT CAME ON !! IT WAS CODE P2112 , WITCH IS THE TROTTLE ACUTATOR MODULE !! AFTER RESETING THE OBD CODE IT WAS WORKING FINE ON THE DRIVEWAY. I'LL TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE LATER. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE TROTTLE ACUTATOR ON THE TROTTLE BODY !!! A DESIGN FLAW IS VERY POSSIBLE, AND IT PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. A RECAL SHOULD BE IN...

I WAS DRIVING ON 495 TOWARD SILVER SPRING/GEORGIA AVE. AND THE CALL JUST LOSS ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE CAR CRUISED AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR. AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND HAD TO WORK MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON 8/23/2016 FOR DIAGNOSIS. THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS REPORTED TO NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED WITHOUT A RECALL. LET ME TELL YOU, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY REAL BUT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SOMETHING MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STALL AND DECREASE IN SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR AS WELL. I WENT TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO I DID THAT. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR LATER THE SAME THING STARTED TO OCCUR. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY DID AN UPDATE, HOWEVER ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD BECAUSE I AM UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. RECENTLY NOW ONLY THE BATTERY AND THE OIL CANISTER COMES ON, BUT WHEN IT STALLS OUT NOW IT JERKS REALLY HARD GOING FORWARD THEN STALLS OUT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR....

INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIVITY AND ISSUE WITH THROTTLE. CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE RECEIVED IT IN NOVEMBER 2010. INTO WALKER FORD CLEARWATER 4 TIMES RECORDED - 2 OTHER TIMES NOT. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REPLACED THROTTLE BODY 11/12 AND COMPLETED RECALL 13B17 (6/2014) BUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUES PERSIST. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED AT LEAST 4 TIMES THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND THE ISSUE.

INITIALLY IT BEGAN AS REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE WRENCH/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT, I WOULD GET SURGES OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD. THE CAR REMAINED DRIVABLE, BUT CLEARLY UNSAFE. I COULD NOT WITH ANY CONFIDENCE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I DO DAILY. *TR

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A ENGINE AND WRENCH ICON SHOWED UP ON THE DASH LIGHTS. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON 4 OCCASIONS. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN, IT RAN FINE AGAIN. THIS WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO O'MEARA FORD AT 7:00 A.M. ON OCTOBER 13, 2014. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD NEED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND CAME TO A STOP, AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO RUN OR IDLE. IT WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS REPLACED. I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD SO NO INJURIES, HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. *TR

ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. *TR

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE MILAN THROTTLE BODY FOR OVER A YEAR. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE COMPUTER JUST NEEDS REPROGRAMMED. AFTER I LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP MY CAR USUALLY HAS A HARD FAILURE JUST LIKE IT DID BEFORE (LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, CAR ROLLS TO A STOP). I CAN COMPLETELY TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND IT RUNS FINE AGAIN FOR A WHILE AND THEN DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WILL ONLY KEEP REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER. THEY HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY 2 TIMES BUT AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. FORD HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND WHICH IS ONLY WHAT THE CODES SAY (REPROGRAM COMPUTER OR REPLACE THROTTLE BODY). I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP TAKING MY CAR IN EVERY WEEK TO GET REPROGRAMMED. FORD HAS...

MY CAR STALLED SUDDENLY IN MODERATE 35 MPH TRAFFIC ON 8/16/14. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHILE I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR AS THERE WAS NOWHERE TO PULL OVER. ON 8/17/14, MY CAR STALLED SUDDENLY AFTER TRAVELING .5 MILE FROM HOME (AT APPROX. 20 MPH), SO I RETURNED TO MY HOUSE. ON 8/18 AT 7 AM, I SPOKE TO SHEEHY FORD IN RICHMOND, VA, AND WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR THROTTLE BODY REPAIR TO OCCUR ON 8/19 UNDER THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" 13B17. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT IN DANGER OF GETTING STRANDED, SO I HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO WORK ON 8/18. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON 8/18 WHILE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH. RATHER THAN REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WHICH THEY DID HAVE IN STOCK, FORD MERELY RECALIBRATED THE POWERTRAIN SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT LIT WHEN I DROPPED OFF THE CAR FOR...

I PURCHASED MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN LAST YEAR IN JULY 2013. THIS WEEKEND I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A LOUD THUMPING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, ON IGNITION, GEAR CHANGING AND ACCELERATION. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. IT WAS NEVER WELDED, WHICH I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MEANING THIS WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. MY ENGINE HAS MOVED 2 INCHES FORWARD, THE TECHNICIAN MOVED MY ENGINE WITH HIS BARE HAND BACK AND FORWARD. BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEEL AXLES ARE BROKEN DUE TO THE PRESSURE OF THE ENGINE NOT BEING SECURED WITH THIS SUBFRAME. I'M NOT REALLY GREAT WITH CAR REPAIRS KNOWLEDGE, BUT EVEN I KNOW THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH MY CAR DURING PURCHASE AND THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS QUOTED...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN MY CAR JOLTED. THEN FROM THERE IT DECELERATED VERY FAST. I PUSHED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH NOTHING HAPPENING. I QUICKLY WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE BUT DUE TO BEING IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE I ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 CARS. AS I PULLED OVER IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO STALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE GAS IT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE... EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR. I SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AND IT...

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55MPH) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. RAPID DECELERATION AND MANY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER SAFELY, AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, AS THE CAR WAS IN RAPID DECELERATION AND STEPPING ON THE GAS WAS UNRESPONSIVE. THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION, OR ENGINE NOISE OR RESPONSE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL WHILE IN DRIVE POSITION AND THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION.I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, WONDERING WHAT TO DO. I THEN TURNED THE KEY BACK ON, AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. I TOOK SIDE ROADS HOME AND THEN SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SELLING MANUFACTURER DEALERSHIP. THE DEFECT WAS IN THE THROTTLE BODY? THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE $500 REPAIR UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY (OUT ON TIME), THE $1700...

IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO DIE YET IDLED AROUND 1000 RPM. THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, BUT WOULDN'T INCREASE SPEED AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE MORE THAN 2 OR 3 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER GETTING IT OFF ROAD AND TURNING IGNITION OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SPUTTERING AND WOULD NOT ADVANCE AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS WELL. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A LOT AS IT SLOWED DOWN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WAS ABLE TO START BACK UP AGAIN. THE VERY NEXT MORNING WHILE TRAVELING A 50MPH ON A DIFFERENT HIGHWAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR AS I HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS STOPPING. AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TRAVELING AT 25MPH IT STALLED AGAIN. THE RESULT OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS THERE WAS A CODE STORED IN SYSTEM OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS...

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STOP WORKING PROPERLY. THE WRENCH LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I DECIDED TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND TURN OFF THE CAR. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 4 MILES. THEN, WHEN IT WAS TIME TO DRIVE IT UP A HILL, IT DID THE SAME. *TR

VEHICLE IS RANDOMLY STALLING OUT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT STARTS VIBRATING AND MAKING CLUNKING NOISE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHETHER SITTING AT A LIGHT TAKING OFF OR DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS CAR IS LITERALLY FALLING APART AND I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT A YEAR. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER MERCURY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, FELT A JERK IN THE ENGINE, AND WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC.) WERE OPERATIONAL, BUT THE CAR WOULD ONLY DECREASE SPEED SO I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE STUTTERED CONSIDERABLY WHILE IDLING AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED AFTER 20 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ONTO THE FLATBED. SOME ABILITY TO DRIVE FORWARD HAD RETURNED BUT I WAS WARY. I HAD THE CAR TRANSPORTED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE CULPRIT ($425 TO REPAIR). I'VE LEARNED SUBSEQUENT TO MY EXPERIENCE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON WITH 2009...

CAR IDLE AT STOP SIGN, ACCELERATED INTO HIGHWAYS TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE ACCELERATING, BUT CAR MOVING VERY SLOWLY, STALLED. I PULLED THE CAR OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THEN, A FEW DAYS LATER, AS I WAS ON THE WAY TO FLOW AUTO IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC, ABOUT 6 MILES FROM MY HOME, THE CAR STALLED DURING ANOTHER LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOPLIGHT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. IT HAD 36,205 MILES ON IT AT PURCHASE. FLOW AUTO SAYS THE PROBLEM IS THE THROTTLE DRIVE AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PURCHASE, I HAVE TO PAY $662 FOR A REPAIR THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED THOUSANDS OF TIMES BY OWNERS OF FORD FOCUS...

I PURCHASED A 2010 MERCURY MILAN IN DEC OF 2012 WITH 26000 MILES. A FEW WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS EMISSIONS. THEY REPLACED THE CAR BATTERY AND SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE CAR. ALL THEY EVER ASK ME IS DO I ALWAYS GO TO THE SAME GAS STATION OR IF IT HAPPENS AFTER I GET GAS AT WHICH I ANSWERED NO. IT'S NOW BEEN LESS THEN A YEAR SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON 5 TIMES. I'M SURE IF I TOOK THE CAR IN AS SOON AS THE LIGHT CAME ON IT WOULD BE MORE TIMES BUT I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME AND SCHEDULE AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A LOANER RIGHT AWAY SO AT TIMES IT...
