2007 Mercury Milan service brakes problems

“Brakes going to the floor twice, almost unable to stop the second time - almost crashed. This vehicle’s brakes were recalled per Ford. Cleveland Ford dealer in Cleveland TN agreed to fix it, then changed their minds a couple days later and said they weren’t required to fix it because they couldn’t replicate the problem. Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga agreed today to fix it, taking it there tomorrow. We’ll see.”

“I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.”

“TWO RECALLS ONE ON DRIVERS AIR BAG. AN ONE ON THE BRAKES! DON'T WANT TO DRIVE BECAUSE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME TO PARK IT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. RECALL IS FOR THE SAME INJURY OR DEATH! BRAKES R HAVING TO PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SOMETIMES TO STOP. AFRAID IT WILL ONE TIME NOT STOP ALL TOGETHER. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE NO PARTS. WHAT'S CAN I DO?”

“MY [XXX] VEHICLE IS UNDER TWO RECALL NOTICES. ONE IS FOR FAULTY BRAKES, THE OTHER FOR A FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA NEEDS TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS COMBINATION OF DEFECTS. RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED THE ABS PROTECTION THE SYSTEM COULD FAIL POTENTIALLY CAUSING A CRASH AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS COULD KILL THE DRIVER AND OTHERS IN THE CAR. UNLIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL, THIS DEADLY COMBINATION RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. RECOMMEND NHTSA ORDER FOMOCO TO PROVIDE SUITABLE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION TO AFFECTED CAR OWNERS UNTIL RECALL REPAIRS CAN BE EFFECTED. *TR”

“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.”
