2006 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (PILSON FORD, 2000 LAKE LAND BLVD, MATTOON, IL 61938, (217) 234-2397) WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT SUPPLIED THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS FOR MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED MONTHS LATER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS PROTRUDING OUTWARD FROM ITS ORIGINAL STRUCTURED POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR, DATED JULY 2016. IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR NOW AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF THIS PIECE, AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES THAT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS FLAWED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY, SHOULD IT RUPTURE, AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR AND STILL "NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE". PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT A REPLACEMENT PIECE FOR THIS TO BE AVAILABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED BACK IN 2014 THAT I HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS NEEDING TO BE FIXED. I CONTACTED FORD AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME IN. WHEN I GOT THERE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO DO IT AND SAID THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD ONCE THAT PART CAME IN. I CALLED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE I HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS WORKING WITH BUCKEYE FORD IN LONDON, OH. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE CONTACTED ME BY NOW.

WHEN I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION, MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN AND MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST BRAKING POWER. I PUSHED EVEN HARDER ON THE PEDAL AND IT SEEMED LIKE I HAD BRAKES BUT NO POWER TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, PUMPED THE BRAKES TWICE AND RESTARTED. THE PEDAL WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE FINE.
