MERCURY Complaints

ON JANUARY 19, 2021, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I LOOKED AT THE MESSAGE CENTER ON MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN AND THE MESSAGE SHOWED "POWER STEERING FAULT". I PULLED BACK UP INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. I SEE WHERE THIS IS A RECALL ON MERCURY MILAN 2011 AND AFTER. PLEASE CONSIDER RECALLING THIS ON THE 2010 MODELS AS I SEE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS HAPPENING TO THE 2010 MERCURY MILAN. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVING A WRECK.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRUST MY BRAKES. IF I HIT A BUMP I WILL LOSE MY BRAKES, AND HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING THEM THE GET THEM TO STOP. IF I HIT ANOTHER BUMP, IT SEEMS TO PUT THEM BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 2 YEARS MY BRAKES HAVE GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE. AT THIS POINT, THEY DO NOT WANT TO STOP ME AT ALL. 01/19/2021 I ALMOST HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DRIVING DOWN BASE (A COUNTRY ROAD), I WAS DRIVING AROUND 35 MILES AN HOUR BUT WAS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE I KNEW THE STOP SIGN WAS UP AHEAD. I CAME TO THE STOP SIGN AND HAD NO BRAKES. A CAR WAS COMING AND I KEPT PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.BY A DITCH. NO ONE WAS HURT LUCKILY, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN RECALLED, SINCE JANUARY OF 2020 AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM SINCE 2017. BUT NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I DO HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION FROM DON MEYER FORD SHOWING WHERE I TOOK MY BRAKES IN EXPLAINING THAT MY BRAKES WERE BAD. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THE COST OF GETTING NEW BRAKES BUT ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AND THEN I MAY GET REIMBURSED OR I MAY NOT. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO PAY FOR NEW BRAKES AT THIS TIME. NOT ONLY DO I DRIVE THIS CAR BACK AND FORTH TO WORK, I RAISE MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO ALSO RIDES IN THIS CAR WITH ME. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED INVOICE FROM WHERE I HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED, ALSO FIRST RECALL DATE JAN 2020 AND SECOND RECALL DATED OCT 2020. I DO HAVE A CASE # THAT I FILED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY IT IS CAS-283-77206 AND I TALKED TO RON. I CALLED TO SEE IF I REPLACED THE BRAKES WOULD I BE REIMBURSED, AND WAS TOLD PROBABLY NOT. THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM ALSO ATTACHING THE SERVICE BILLING FROM WHERE I FIRST TOLD THEM ABOUT MY BRAKES AND BOTH RECALLS

I HAVE TO PRESS MY BRAKES EXCESSIVELY TO GET THEM TO WORK AND THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. RECALL 19S54 WAS ISSUED BACK IN DECEMBER 2019 AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT NOW THERE IS SNOW AND ICE AND MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP.

THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR LEAVES YOU WITH NO BRAKES. THIS IS DUE TO THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE FAILING SAME AS OTHER ONES IN FORD AND MERCURY'S BEING RECALLED. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WITH MARINERS AND ESCAPES ARE HAVING IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. DOES MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE? THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS.
