MERCURY Complaints

TAMARA INFLATORS RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MARCH 2017 A BOUT A RECALL HAVE NOT HEARD ANY FROM THEM IN ALMOST A YEAR I AM DRIVING WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS WHEN WILL THEY HONOR THE RECALL

TAKATA RECALL MY ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND IF I DRIVE IT WITH THESE LIGHTS ON I SMELL MY BREAK PADS BURNING. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND IT WOULD COST ME UPWARDS OF $5,885.00 TO REPLACE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FORD ESCAPES. (WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME VEHICLE. IF THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS MAYBE ITS WORTH LOOKING INTO ON DOTS PART. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE CONSIDERING MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I CAN TURN MY SUV OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND START IT AGAIN UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE. BUT WHEN I FIRST GET IN THE VEHICLE AND START IT THE LIGHTS DO IN FACT COME ON. PLEASE HELP ALL CONSUMERS WITH THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALREADY ON FORD/MERCURY'S HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.

THIS HAS BEEN A DANGEROUSLY RECURRING ENGINE ACCELERATING PROBLEM WHILE AT REST OR MOVING/COMING TO A STOP ON STREETS OR HIGHWAYS BUT ALWAYS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE OR HOLD IN PLACE. THE BRAKES WON'T STOP IT, ONLY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING WORKS. BARELY AVOIDED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, SO FAR. MY FORD DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE SYSTEMS AND MY FOOT PLACEMENTS WITH OUT FINDING A PROBLEM OR A SOLUTION. THERE ARE OVER 30 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM IN YOUR DATABASE, SOME WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, HOW CAN THIS ISSUE BE ESCALATED BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION IN JUNE OF 2016. THE DEALER (BOB WONDRIES FORD, 400 S ATLANTIC BLVD, ALHAMBRA, CA 91801) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

THE REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE AND HASN'T BEEN FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE RANGER PICKUP DRIVERS ARE TOLD TO COME ON DOWN FOR REPAIRS BUT OUR CAR STILL DOES NOT HAVE AVAILABLE PARTS.

I DID RECEIVE A LETTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO REQUESTING TO TAKE MY CAR INTO FORD CONCERNING THE DRIVER AIR BAG AND OTHER THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED AS WELL. ALL THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED EXCEPT FOR THE AIR BAGS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED IN STOCK THAT WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED. AS OF TODAY PLANTATION FORD HAS REACHED OUT TO US, NOR HAS FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE ONLY REASON WHY THIS CAME TO MIND WAS THAT WE HAD AN HIT AND RUN YESTERDAY, AND THE AIRS BAGS DID NOT WORK. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

POWER STEERING PROBLEM INTERMITTENT STEERING SEEMS TO CHANGE FROM MANUAL STEERING WHEN TURNING MAKING VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN WILL THIS GET CORRECTED? RECALL WAS IN JANUARY 2017, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN MARCH 2017 AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY OFFERED.

2004 GRAND MARQUIS. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENTS FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS RELATED TO A SAFETY RECALL. *LD CONSUMER SENT ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THE REIMBURSEMENT HAD BEEN PROCESSED, BUT THE CONSUMER DID NOT RECEIVED THE PAYMENT. *JS

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE PARKING OF A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY SHE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE ALMOST CRASHED BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE CAR AS SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. RECEIVED TWO ERRORS (1) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND (2) SERVICE ADVANCEDTRAC. FROM WHAT I'M RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODEL BUT THE 2010 EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE THE SAME COMPONENTS...? CAR HAS 76K MILES.
