2010 Mercury Milan service brakes problems

“The safety recall 19S54 is affecting my vehicle. It was made at the same plant at the approved date range as the other vehicles on the recall list but it seems my vehicle wasnt added to the list because it is a hybrid but it has the same exact issue as the non hybrid models”

“Whenever the car engine isn't warm and I slam on the brakes, they barely respond. I have replaced the master cylinder, abs hydraulic module, brake booster, calipers, pads, and rotors, and it still has about 20% normal braking power when the engine is cold. Just got it back from the dealership again. Dealer said no vacuum leak found, no leaks found, abs module checks out fine, and said the check valve passed diagnostics. The problem remains. This has been ongoing for several years now. May have contributed to an accident in 2023. Not sure as my wife was driving. When the engine is warm, the brakes work perfectly.”

“My name is [XXX] and I own a 2010 Mercury Milan. I bought it on [XXX] from an 84 year old woman who take good care of it. It had 91,000 miles which were mostly hwy miles. She kept records of all her oil changes. After having it for almost 3 years and keeping up with it myself, on February 27,2024 in the morning I put brake fluid in the car. I had brake pads and rotors done on the car in August 2023. On the evening of [XXX], my son and I took a ride to the local 7/11 which is 5 minutes away. While driving home and coming to the traffic light at the beginning of my neighborhood the light turned red. As I proceeded to stop my foot went all the way to the ground and I had no brakes. I had to go through the light because i could not stop. The car was flying down the road because it is a very steep hill. I tried to pull the emergency brake and nothing happened. I was nearing the end of the road going 40 MPH due to the hill. I thought I was going to hit my neighbors house at the bottom of the hill. My son grabbed the steering wheel to turn it and I went up on my curb, across my lawn and crashed into a storage tent on my driveway. My car was wedged inside the tent…”

“On May 10, 2024, as I was rounding a sharp curve, I applied brakes to slow down, but there were no brakes. In fact the brake pedal went to the floor. I had to use emergency brake to stop and gain my wits. I turned around and slowly drove home (about 0.5 miles) and used e-brake to stop and park in front of house. On May 21 I had vehicle towed to dealer. They found that the brake pedal was still against floorboard, but when they started vehicle, it came back up to normal position and was working fine. They could not duplicate the loss of brakes. My vehicle was manufactured within the date range of a TSB regarding hydraulic control unit and DOT3 brake fluid corrosion, but dealer says VIN not applicable to TSB. I am thinking of paying for new HCU anyway, just for my family's protection. I would like my VIN to be included in TSB repair.”

“Power brake failure, brake pedal goes to the floor, vehicle rolls forward and backward while in park, ABS warning and Trac system warning lights are on and also Brake Service warning light.”

“The brake system went completely out. The brake pedal has no pressure and goes all the way to the floor. When looking online there are 197 complaints after reading through the first 9D all of them were about the ABS control module. All other repairs regarding to the brakes have already been made with the problem still not being fixed. there were no warning signs of this happening. The brake switch just went out when driving home one day. This has all been diagnosed by a private mechanic. The only thing left to change or repair is the ABS control module.”
