MERCURY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND FAILED. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,141.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I COULDNT SEE THE ROAD. THEY NEVER CAME BACK ON. I WAS ON A CITY STREET

GOT A TICKET FOR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BEING OUT. NEXT DAY FOUND OUT BRAKE LIGHT IS $300 THAT IS INSANE THIS IS NOT A HIGH END VEHICLE. AN LED LIGHT IS THE CHEAPEST LIGHT EVER INVENTED. IF FORD DOESN'T MAKE THIS A RECALL I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN .....TOTAL RIPOFF!

TAIL LIGHT RECALL. LED LIGHTS HAVE A SHORT AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT REMAIN ILLUMINATED AS IF APPLYING THE BRAKE

PURCHASED THE 2008 MERCURY MILAN USED IN 2011. FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ANTI LOCK BRAKES, SO THE FIRST TIME ON WET PAVEMENT APPROACHING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL JIGGLED WHEN BEING PRESSED, CONCERNED THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. BRAKE PEDAL FROM THAT INCIDENT STAYED LOW FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL POSITION WHEN PRESSED. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN PRESSING BRAKE OVER POTHOLES, IN WET CONDITIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS RECENT EPISODE HAS LASTED FOR MORE THAN 10 DAYS WHICH CAUSED ME TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER REPAIR AND TO DO RESEARCH WHICH LED ME TO ENUMERABLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLES DEFECT. I HAVE READ POST OF THOSE WHO HAVE SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED AND STILL EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM, WE ARE A ONE CAR FAMILY AND I AM NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO INVEST MONEY AND NOT GET THE RESULTS OF HAVING RESOLVED. THIS ISSUE (ABS) REGARDING THE 2008 MERCURY MILAN IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER.

HEADLAMPS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. FORD DEALER SAYS ONLY WAY CAN FIX PROBLEM, WHICH IS AN INVESTIGATION, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION # 14N01, IS FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE OCCURRING WHEN IT IS CHECKED.
