"TAKATA RECALL" JULY 2016 FORD SENT ME A LETTER THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND THEY WILL BE LETTING ME KNOW WHEN TO TAKE IT IN TO GET IT REPLACED. RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY ( 1 AND 1/2 YEARS LATER) FROM FORD THAT THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AND WHEN AND IF THEY COME UP WITH A FIX THEY WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN TO GET IT FIXED. THEY ALSO STRESS THAT NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS THEY CAN BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THE AIRBAG IF IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THEY FORGOT TO MENTION IS THE TRADE IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS NONE. IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE SO THE DEALERS CAN NOT RESELL IT SO THEY DON'T WANT IT AS A TRADE. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO EITHER BUY BACK THE VEHICLE OR TELL THEIR DEALERS TO GIVE A SPECIAL TRADE VALUE. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT TRADE IN AND I CAN NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. EVER TRY GOING ON A DATE AND SHE HAS TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT? I GUESS FORD IS TELLING US NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN THE FRONT SEAT SO WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED THEY CAN SAY THEY TOLD US NOT TO SIT THERE. VW GOT THE ROYAL SCREWING BECAUSE OF THE DIESEL RIGGING AND THEY WERE MADE TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLES OR GIVE THE OWNERS MONEY. NOBODY DIED FROM THAT SCREW UP. FORD IS GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.

I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTRY ROADS WITH SNOWY CONDITIONS, AND WHEN I STARTED BRAKING TO MAKE A TURN,ABS ENGAGED BECAUSE OF SLIPPERY ROADS, IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER I EXPERIENCED A LACK OF BRAKING POWER /A SOFT SINKING BRAKE PEDAL WITH LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER. THIS IS A TRAFFIC SAFETY HAZARD, UPON DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM , THE ABS CONTROL MODULE, OR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY HAS A STICKING VALVE IN THE ABS SYSTEM, ROUTING THE BRAKE FLUID THROUGH THE ABS SYSTEM INSTEAD OF TO THE BRAKES, WHERE IT SHOULD GO. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS, AND FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR OWN COMPANY THE ABS CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED AND REPLACED

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN YODER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE THE AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AND THE IMPORTANT RECALL STATUS AFFECTING HIS 2007 MERCURY MILAN VEHICLE. *LD UPDATED 12/13/2017*JS

WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE DOWN A SNOWY DRIVEWAY THE ABS ENGAGED BRIEFLY. MOMENTS LATER, I HAD TO BRAKE TO ALLOW AN ONCOMING CAR TO PASS, AND THE BRAKES WERE SUDDENLY VERY SOFT, PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS ONTO A CURB TO AVOID COLLISION. THE BRAKES REMAINED VERY SOFT AND SPONGY, THOUGH THEY IMPROVED A BIT WITH PUMPING.
