2007 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

SHORTLY AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION, THE CAR HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING SOFT AND HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP WITHOUT ADDITIONAL EFFORT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT SAID TO FIND A SPOT TO GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED AND FORCE A RAPID BRAKING SITUATION TO GET THE STUCK SPOOL VALVES IN THE ABS UNIT TO RELEASE. I DID THIS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I DID THIS SO THAT THE CAR COULD BE FUNCTIONAL BEFORE GOING TO THE COLLISION SHOP FOR REPAIRS. AT THE COLLISION SHOP, I ASKED FOR THE CARS BRAKE SYSTEM TO BE INSPECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS ABS UNITS ISSUES, AND EVEN BROUGHT IN A COPY OF THE ONLINE RESEARCH I HAD DONE. THE FORD DEALER THAT DID THE COLLISION REPAIR DID NOT FIND ANY BRAKE ISSUE TO CORRECT. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER WITH A RECENT SNOWFALL THAT HAD LEFT OUR AREA ICY, THE CAR'S ABS UNIT WAS CALLED ON FOR A SLIP CONDITION WHILE STOPPING. MY DAUGHTER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS EVENT WHEN IT OCCURRED, AND I TOLD HER I WOULD BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT INSPECTED IT. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN, THE CAR WAS AGAIN FINE. I AM WANTING THIS ISSUE TO BE PUSHED FORWARD TO FORCE FORD TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIR THE CAR, SINCE IT HAS SHOW TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES OF WHAT I WOULD CALL BRAKE FAILURE.

BREAK PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY WITH VERY WEAK BRAKES. BELIEVE THIS TO BE ABS PUMP PROBLEM AFTER READING UP WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM (EXCEPT ABS PUMP) THUS FAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016 AND, DESPITE THE LETTER STATING THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY FORD MOTOR WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FURTHER. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I EXPECT PROMPT REMEDIAL ACTION.
