MERCURY Complaints

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH SOFT BRAKE PEDAL THAT WENT TO FLOOR NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY MECHANIC CHECKED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND COULD NOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TODAY (07-11-2018) TO WAYNE LINCOLN MERCURY TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO KEEP HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE LOST ALMOST ONE WEEK OF WORK AND THE MECHANIC STILL HAS NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING MY BRAKES TO FAIL. UNABLE TO BLEED THE BRAKES, ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. NOW WAITING ON WAYNE LINCOLN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ALREADY REPORTED THE CONDITION TO FORD AND LEARNED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT YOU AND FORD ARE ALREADY AWARE OF.

I EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME SITUATION AS NUMEROUS OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED: IN JULY 2018 I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD. I BEGAN BRAKING TO STOP ST A RED LIGHT, WHILE BRAKING THE CAR WENT OVER SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT AND IMMEDIATELY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR STOPPED IN TIME BUT THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP WAS MUCH GREATER THAN USUAL AND THE CAR ONLY BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. AFTER I STOPPED AND BEGAN DRIVING THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM QUITE WARY AND NOT CONFIDENT IN THE BRAKING SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS HAD BEEN AN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! THIS SITUATION MUST BE ADRESSED BY FORD AS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. 1,000'S OF THESE VEHICLES ARE IN THE ROAD AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH RESULTS FROM THIS MALFUNCTION.

"TAKATA RECALL" ERNEST MCCARTY FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR ... THE SERVICE WRITER SAYS THAT FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED HIM TO REPAIR .

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. UPON STARTING THE CAR, AT THE MOMENT I TURNED THE KEY THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

TAKATA PLUS NUMEROUS OTHER RECALLS: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, "CONTAMINATION ON INTERNAL MOTOR CONTACTS OF THE THROTTLE BODY" REAR TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED, ARM REST REPLACED AS IT BECAME DETACHED, BATTERY REPLACED AT 23K MILES AND DOES NOT HOLD A CHARGE AND CONSISTENTLY NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. THIS HAPPENED AT A LIGHT IN A MAJOR AND VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I WENT AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED. IT ADDITIONALLY OVER EXCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO DEALER AS THE CAR DIED DUE TO FAILED THROTTLE. *TT
