2007 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

THE ABS SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE BRAKES ARE VERY SPONGY, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS BRAKING AT 40 MPH AND HIT A MILD BUMP IN THE ROAD TRIGGERING THE ABS TO ACTIVATE BRIEFLY. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENTLY SPONGY EVER SINCE, AND NOT CONSISTENTLY SPONGY RENDERING THE BRAKES UNPREDICTABLE AS WELL AS INTERMITTENTLY UNRESPONSIVE. THE BRAKE FLUID IS FINE, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS NOT LEAKING, AND THE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ABS PUMP/ACTUATOR ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN WILL THESE BE REPAIRED AFRAID OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FLAT, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY HOME AND KEPT HEARING NOISES WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. I TOOK THE EXIT FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD; WHILE I WAS ON THE ACCESS ROAD SLOWING DOWN TO THE SPEED LIMIT, THE PASSENGER REAR BRAKE LOCKED ON ME. I MADE IT TO A COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 100 FEET FROM THE LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. AFTER TURNING ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR AT A SLOW RATE TO THE STRIP MALL ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE AWAY. I CALLED FOR A TOW, BUT ALL THE ONES I REACHED OUT TO HAD AN APPROX. WAIT TIME OF 2 HOURS AND THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED IN 1 HOUR. WHILE DECIDING WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR, I NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM HOME AND DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR ONWARD. I TOOK THE CAR AT A SLOW RATE TO TRY AND ENSURE NOTHING HAPPEN. WHEN I TURNED ONTO MY STREET, THE PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE ABS LIGHT TURNED OFF. I DROVE THE LAST FEW FEET HOME AND CALLED A TOW THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP IN QUEUE TO BE WORKED ON.

2007 MERCURY MILAN, CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN DRIVING THRU WET SURFACE. ABS PROBLEM, CANNOT STOP THE CAR IN TIME.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION DECEMBER 2017 ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CAR CAN BE FIXED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS TODAY AND THE RECORDING STATED PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL EARLY SPRING 2018. TMSEVEN MONTHS IS A LONG TIME NOT TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN YOUR FRONT SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM MERCURY IN 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL. I CONTACTED APPLE VALLEY FORD LINCOLN IN APPLE VALLEY MINNESOTA (PHONE: 952-431-5900) AND THEY TOLD ME NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME A DATE WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! ADDITIONALLY THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE UNTIL THE AIRBAGS ARE REPLACED. I NEED THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY OR A LOANER CAR. I'VE DRIVEN AN UNSAFE CAR LONG ENOUGH.
