2009 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL & SLOWED DOWN FOR THE SPEEDBUMP. I STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY BUT THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO MISS THE DRIVEWAY & TURN INTO THE YARD. AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP SO I SCREAMED AT MY HUSBAND "JAMES I CAN'T STOP THE CAR!" HE YANKED THE HANDBRAKE UP BUT IT DIDN'T STOP OR SLOW DOWN AND THE ENGINE MADE A CONTINUOUS HIGH PITCHED RACING SOUND. WE CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE, DAMAGING IT & BREAKING MY LEFT ARM! THE CAR WAS TOTALED. ALL THIS OCCURRED IN JUST A MATTER OF SECONDS. FORTUNATELY OUR FAMILY WAS IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOUSE AND WEREN'T INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN FORD DEALER IN SAINT PAUL AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA AIRGAB INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL: FOR OVER 1 YEAR, THERE HAS BEEN RECALL 16V-384 WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW, THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE PARTS ARE BANKRUPT. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADDITIONAL STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS?

TAKATA RECALL HAVE WAITED ALMOST A YEAR TO HAVE THESE FIXED. DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THESE TO FIX IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO ME OR A PASENGER? I AM TIRED OF THEM PUTTING ME OFF I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED NOW.

I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. TWO MONTHS AFTER NOTIFICATION I WENT TO THE OXMOOR FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE TIME TO HAVE CAR FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS IN. OVER A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I HEARD NOTHING. PLEASE NOT2 I AM BABYSITTING MY YOUNGER GRANDCHILDREN AND USE MY CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE BEEN BACK SEVERAL MORE TIME TO TALK TO THEM. (AND PHONE CALLS) WHICH I AM TOLD OVERTIME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. OVERTIME I AM TOLD THEY HAVE ME ON THEIR LIST BUT OVERTIME I GO THEY NEVER HEARD OF ME. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING PUT OFF. P>S> I GOT AN OFFER TO BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE, IN MARCH 2017, FROM FORD, THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED. WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER WHEN I NEEDED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. 8 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO LETTER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM IN. ON THE AIRBAG RECALL.COM WEBSITE, IT SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL SINCE JANUARY 2017.

TAKATA RECALL.I CALLED THE FORD GARAZE NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS AIR BAG NEEDING REPLACED AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME THE PART IS ON ORDER AND CANT GET IT IN..MY AIRBAG HAS BEEN SEPARATING AT THE SEAM AND IM CONCERENED THAT IT WILL EXPLODE WITH MY CHILD IN THE FRONT SEAT

TAKEDA RECALL UNABLE TO GET IT FIX NO CALLS TO GET IT REPLACE CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVERS/PASSENGERS SAFETY

WHILE EXITING ONTO RAMP FROM EXPRESSWAY ON WET PAVEMENT, I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR. I DROVE OVER A SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AS A RESULT, I NEEDED INCREASED DISTANCE TO STOP MY CAR. MY BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL SOMETIME LATER.

TAKATA RECALL - MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG HAS NOT GONE OFF AS YET.
