2007 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN 2016 ON A WINTRY DAY I HAD AN ABS EVENT AND THE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. IT CAME UP AGAIN BY ITSELF HOURS LATER. JANUARY 10TH 2017 HAD ANOTHER ABS EVENT AND THE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. IT COST ME $387.00 TO FIX IT. THE ABS SYSTEM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I URGE YOU TO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. TAKATA RECALL FORD SENT ME A LETTER STATING I HAVE TAKATA BUT THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT.

TAKATA RECALL/ WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JULY 2016 ADVISING OF THIS RECALL. THE LETTER STATED WE WOULD BE ADVISED BY FORD WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. TO THIS DATE WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR AND WE NEED TO USE THIS FOR OUR DAILY NEEDS. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP WHAT WE CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

ROADS WERE SNOW COVERED AND WHEN WENT TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE ABS DID NOT KICK IN BUT HAD NO BRAKES. PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES BUT PEDAL WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS AS REPORTED BY MY MOTHER.

WHEN WE PRESS ON THE BRAKES, WE NEED TO PRESS VERY HARD ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. WE PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HELPED IN THE PASS BUT NO LONGER, WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE TAKEN TO A FEW GARAGES AND SAID BRAKES ARE FINE. TODAY IT'S AT A FORD DEALER BEING CHECKED OUT. THIS IS OUR DAUGHTERS CAR FOR COLLEGE SHE IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT, SHE SAID IT REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO STOP, AND GETTING MUCH WORSE. YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THIS HAPPENS ON BACK ROADS AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. ALSO GETTING OFF HIGHWAY WHEN I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THIS STARTED IN APRIL OF 2016 AND GETTING WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN ICY ROAD, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND LOST BRAKING - PUMPING THE BRAKES HELPED RESTORE BRAKING ENOUGH TO GET IT TO REPAIR SHOP 1 BLOCK AWAY - REPLACED ABS BRAKE CYLINDER AT COSTS OF MORE THAN $1000 DEC 2015. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT DECELERATE THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 04/05/17*LJ** UPDATED 09/14/17*LJ *JS *AS

I WAS DRIVING FORWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD (RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET). I CAME UPON AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION WHEN I NOTICED A CAR COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE, I THEN ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. RESULTING IN MY CAR HITTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS LOST PRESSURE 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY ALL IN THE SAME WINTER CONDITIONS (SNOW AND ICY ROAD) AND WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, WITH NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. 1 OF THE PREVIOUS TIMES I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR THE CAR TO STOP COMPLETELY THE OTHER 2 TIMES TOOK AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP. WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE I IMMEDIATELY PARK MY CAR, THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS IF NOT LONGER.

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO SOFT WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOFT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS IN WINTER 2015/2016 AND BRAKE WAS SOFT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED DUE TO SNOW ON THE GROUND. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE BRAKES WENT BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER AGAIN THIS WINTER 2016/2017 THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED IN DECEMBER 2016 AND THE BRAKES WENT SOFT AND CONTINUE TO BE SOFT TO DATE. I HAVE TO DOUBLE PUMP MY BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS BUT CONSIDER THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
