2008 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM ENGAGED DUE TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THE CAR DUE TO DECREASED BRAKING POWER. THIS CONDITION OF DECREASED BRAKING POWER CAN LAST SEVERAL DAYS OR WEEKS BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THERE IS AN ABS DEPLOYMENT AND THEN THE REDUCED BRAKING RETURNS AGAIN.

TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE ROAD I WAS STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AFTER TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE CONGESTION CAUSED TRAFFIC TO STOP AGAIN. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO BRAKE THE BRAKES DIDN'T ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED IN A SAFE AREA AND CALLED FOR A RIDE. ONCE THE CAR SAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS IT WAS DRIVEN HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR THAT CAME INTO MY LANE IMPROPERLY. MY BRAKES ENGAGE PROPERLY AT THAT MOMENT BUT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE THIRTY MINUTE DRIVE MY BRAKES DIDN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL REPEATEDLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY.

TAKATA RECALL. UNABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SEAT. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED DEC 2017 AND AM STILL WAITING. I WANT TO SELL MY CAR BUT I'M SURE THE VALUE WILL BE DECREASED IF A PASSENGER CAN'T SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THIS WILL BE READY.
