MERCURY Complaints

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 3 YEARS THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY 2010 MERCURY MILAN. FORD STILL DOESN'T WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON IT AND GIVING THE 'UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET, BUT KEEP YOUR RECEIPT IN CASE A RECALL IS ISSUED' SPEECH. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT BECOMES REALLY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AND HAVING YOUR POWER STEERING GO OUT. STEERING BECOMES VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A $1,500-$2,000 CAR REPAIR EVERY YEAR. HAD I KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AFTER GETTING IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME I WOULD'VE SAVED MONEY AND GOTTEN RID OF IT.

IN MOTION ON A STREET A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING CAME ON, SHORTLY AFTER LOST POWER STEERING. INFORMED BY FORD IT WAS FIXED AFTER RECALL ON SEP 22ND 2014, AND IS NO LONGER VALID OR COVERED? SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN AS THE FIRST RECALL

EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT; PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNDER 11151367. MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL 19S54 AND VERY SURPRISED IT WAS NOT INCLUDED - I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL CORRECTED - PLEASE ADVISE - THANK YOU

MY ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES LOCKED UP ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR-END SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PEDAL FELT WEIRD BUT IT COULD STILL STOP. MY ABS LIGHT IS STILL ON.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK YESTERDAY ONCE FULL GAS LEAKED FROM UNDER THE WHEEL WELL ONTO THE TIRES. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION. I WAS ASKED TO MOVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE PUMP BY THE GAS ATTENDANT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND I FELT LIKE I WAS IN LOW GEAR. THE POWER SURGED CAUSING THE CAR TO BUCK AND STALL, I WAS ON A CITY STREET

THE BREAKS WHEN STOPPING THE CAR CONTINUE TO GO FORD WARD AND SOMETIMES WHEN STOP YOU CAN FEEL AIR PUSHING DOWN LIKE IT DOSES WANT TO STOP.
