2008 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES QUICK AND FAST IT WILL ENGAGE AND START WORKING. WHEN I SLOWLY PRESS THE BRAKES THEY DO NOT ENGAGE UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF MANY PEOPLE. AS I SEE ON THE INTERNET 100S OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. SO WHY HAVEN'T A RECALL BEEN DONE YET? I GUESS SOMEONE IMPORTANT HAVE TO GET KILLED BY THIS DEFECT IN ORDER FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO MAKE THIS ISSUE KNOWN AND DO A RECALL QUICK! ITS NOW SAFE AT ALL AND I DON'T THINK THE CAR OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 74,900 MILES ON IT!!! SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A RECOMMENDATION @ [XXX].

ON MY WAY TO WORK YESTERDAY MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN WHILE BRAKING ON AN UNEVEN/ROCKY PIECE OF ROAD. IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, MY BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY SOFT. I HAVE PUSH THE BRAKES DOWN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO ENGAGE AT ALL. I PROCEEDED ONTO THE HIGHWAY NOT KNOWING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG AND THE FIRST TIME I TRIED USED THE BRAKES I NEARLY SLAMMED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE TODAY, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE BRAKES ON MY MODEL OF MILAN (AS WELL AS FUSIONS FROM THE SAME YEAR), AND THEY MADE NO OFFER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

BRAKE FAILURE. DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND SLOWING IN PREPARATION TO TURN LEFT I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES ENGAGED. I WAS ON A DRY FAIRLY SMOOTH ROAD.

THE BRAKES FAILED. DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A SUBURBAN STREET THAT WAS DRY, COMING DOWN A HILL WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP FOR A YELLOW LIGHT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE ENGAGING THE BRAKES.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED A NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO, JULY 2016. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE ALLOWING US TO GET THE REPAIR. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND I WANT THE RECALL REPAIR DONE ASAP. WHY DO WE HAVE TO PUT OUR LIVES AS RISK FOR SO LONG AFTER BEING NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL. IT'S ALMOST SEPT 2017 AND STILL NO WORD ON BEING ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED.

APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT MY VEHICLE CROSSED A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. WHEN I HIT THE ROUGH SPOT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER BRAKING AS INTENDED. VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AT THE TIME OF THE INDECENT. THE LOSS OF BRAKES CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW BECOME INTERMITTENT BUT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE ABS AND OCCASIONALLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO SOFT AND FEEL AS IF THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES.
