2008 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE RECEIVED THE NOTICE 2 YEARS AGO AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE SOMEONE SITTING UP FRONT, AND WHEN WILL THIS BE DONE? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS FIXED.? OTHER CARS WERE DONE, BUT NOT MERCURY'S, WHY?? THE ONE PORTION OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT IS RAISED UP A LITTLE. I M WORRIED A GOOD BUMP WILL SET IT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL - TODAY ,JUNE 5TH, RECEIVED A FORD AIRBAG RECALL LETTER . 3RD ONE OVER LAST 3 YEARS . SO - I CALLED MY DEALER ( AGAIN ) ' NO PARTS . CALLED TO GET THE 'UP TO $ 30 / DAY RENTAL ( NO RENTALS ) ,,, WHEN ? ' WE DON'T KNOW ' . TRIED TO COMMUNICATE VIA THEIR RECALL WEBPAGE . CHAT DOESN'T WORK . NO AVENUE TO GIVE FEEDBACK . CONVENIENT FAQ'S DON'T COVER OBVIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHEN , RENTAL CARS . DON'T ALLOW EMAIL INPUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT A FORM '- ONLY TO BE ' TOLD ' THAT IT IS NOT OPERATING. DO YOU - DOT - EVER GO TO THEIR RECALL WEBSITE ( AS A ' CUSTOMER ') ? DO,YOU EVER REVIEW FORDS RECALL LETTERS TO US ( BIG CLAIMS , WEB REFERENCE , CARING WORDS ) ,,,, BUT, DOES NOT WORK ! NO PARTS , NO RENTAL CARS ,, NO REIMBURSEMENT .. WHEN MORE FORD OWNERS ( MINE IS A MERCURY MILAN ) GET HARMED ,, WE , THE CITIZENS WILL ORGANIZE ARTICLES , LAWSUITS ,, SITE DOT MANAGEMENT .. DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLKS DRIVING AROUND IN UNSAFE VEHICLES . EVEN YOUR OWN FORM ASKS ABOUT CRASHES , MILES AT CRASH ,,,, ETC, , ,, THIS IS A DANGEROUS RECALL INPUT .. CC : MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL : WASHINGTON POST ; WALL STREET JOURNAL - MR. MCGURN ; EXEC MACRO .

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED JULY THAT THE AIRBAG WAS DEFECTIVE, I BELIEVE 2 YEARS IS MORE THEN ENOUGH TIME TO REPLACE IT. NOW I ALSO MY CAR IS OLD AND WORTH AS MUCH AS AS SOME AS THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS BUT IT HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AND I LOVE THE WAY IT RUN. BUY I DONT LIKE THE WAY I CANT PUT NO MORE THEN 4 PEOPLE IN 5 PERSON PASSENGER CAR EITHER THEY GET IT FIXED OR GIVE ME LONER UNTIL THEY DO

OTHER CAR FAILED TO YIELD AT STOP SIGN. MY CAR HIT THE SUV IN THE DOOR AREA. MY FRONT END AND HOOD ARE DAMAGED. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

BRAKES ARE EXCESSIVELY SOFT, BUT THERE IS NO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES AND NO LEAKS. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD, PRESSED BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP; IT JUST SLOWED, BUT WOULD NOT ENTIRELY STOP. THIS PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER. IF I CANNOT TRUST MY CAR TO FULLY STOP, IT MAY ROLL INTO AN INTERSECTION AND BE HIT BY CROSSING TRAFFIC, OR I MAY REAR-END ANOTHER VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION.

ABS COMPUTER GOT FRIED AND NEEDED $2000 REPAIR. CAR HAS HAD INTERMITTENT HARD BRAKE PULL TO LEFT SINCE PURCHASE IN 2008. JUST HAD TO REPLACE FRONT CALIPERS AND ROTORS AT COST OF $680.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (PARK CITIES FORD/LINCOLN, 3333 INWOOD ROAD, DALLAS, TEXAS 75235) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. *TT *TR

ABS HCU BYPASSES AFTER ABS EVENT AND DOESN'T RESET CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO FLOOR AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED JULY2016 ABOUT THE RECALL OF AIRBAG. SINCE THAT TIME...I HAVE BEEN CALLING DEALERSHIPS...MY RONT DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE IS SEPARATING WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I SEPARATES MORE AND MORE...I NEED TO SEE THAT THIS AIRBAG IS REPLACED ASAP... STARTED OUT SMALL LESS THAN HALF INCH TO AT LEAST 6 TO 8 INCHES WIDE . HAVE PHOTOTS BUT THEY ARE TO BIG OF FILE TO ATTACH. CAN SEND SEPARATELY UPON REQUEST. NEXT THING WILL BE NOTIFYING MY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN TO GET THIS ADDRESSED.

PULLED 2008 MILAN IN PARKING LOT, PUT IN PARK, ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE, TAPPED GAS PEDAL, ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL. CAR STARTED FINE, DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCE, I STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL, CAR BEGAN 'LIMP HOME' MODE, WAS ABLE TO PULL TO CURB. WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. SHUT CAR OFF A FEW MINUTES.STARTED FINE, WRENCH LIGHT ON, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FEW BLOCKS TO GET HOME.

I'VE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS STAFF ALREADY & ASKED FOR LOANER CAR. NOT GRANTED. I DID INTERNET RESEARCH & FOUND LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD ABOUT 'LIMP HOME' MODE INVOLVING THROTTLE BODY & COMPUTER SENSORS DEFECT ON FORD, MERCURY & LINCOLN BROUGHT ON BY NCCC. FORD NOT FORCED TO RECALL THIS DEFECT INVOLVING 1.6 MILLION CARS. MANY INTERNET SITES HAVE SHOWN COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! NUMEROUS OWNERS WROTE TO VALIDATE CAR REPAIRED ONLY TO EXPERIENCE SAME 'LIMP HOME' INCIDENT RETURN. STORIES INVOLVE HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED. SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT BEFORE IT'S BACK TO FORCING FORD TO OWN UP TO NEGLECT TO MAKE A PROFIT. MY EXPERIENCE LEAVES ME WITHOUT A CAR, CANCELLATIONS OF APPTS, RELYING ON CABS OR FRIEND TO SHOP.THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S NOW 4 WEEKS WITHOUT A CAR. AM TOLD WARRANTY EXPIRED. CAN I PLEASE BE DIRECTED TO PROPER GOVERNMENT AGENCY WITH JURISDICTION TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS?
