  Brake pedal going almost to the floor once, then later did so again and almost didn’t stop, almost crashed.

• 12/29/2022· SERVICE BRAKES

  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.

• 12/29/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS WAS FAULTY. THE ABS MODULE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S UPDATED MODULE AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

• 12/29/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 MERCURY MILAN.IN JANUARY OF 2013 ONE OF MY FRONT WHEELS HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING WHICH CAUSED THE ABS SYSTEM TO ENGAGE. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH WERE BOTH COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SAID THAT MY FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE RUINED AND ALL MUST BE REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE PRICE TAG FOR THIS WAS $604.51. I WAS TOLD IF I GOT THE WORK DONE ELSEWHERE I WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY. SO I PAID THE $604.51. IN JUNE 2016 WHILE GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL I HAD TO BRAKE LIGHTLY WHEN ONE OF MY FRONT WHEELS HIT A SMALL POTHOLE, THE ABS ENGAGED AND AGAIN MY BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 MILAN'S AND FUSIONS. THE ABS PUMP IS DESIGNED POORLY AND THE VALVES TEND TO STICK AFTER AN ABS EVENT. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2007 AND CHOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS TIME THE COST TO FIX IT COST $112.80. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THE 'HCU/ECU' UNIT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A PRICE OF $1900. I AM SURE THAT THIS PRODUCT DEFECT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED BY FORD. I'VE PAID A TOTAL OF $717.31 FOR A PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR THE BETTER PART OF NINE YEARS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THESE CHARGES. I WROTE A LETTER TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ONLY TO GET A GENERIC LETTER BACK STATING THAT I NEED TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER IF I HAVE ANY CONCERNS. I DID THIS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT ANYONE CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET WHEN I DESCRIBED TO THEM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MILAN. I SAW A RECENT ARTICLE THAT FORD IS BEING INVESTIGATED SO I DECIDED TO WRITE TO YOU ABOUT THIS! *TR

• 12/29/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  I DRIVE A 2007 MERCURY MILAN, AND I EXPERIENCED A LOW BRAKE PEDAL AFTER AN ABS EVENT. I WAS TRAVELING AT 25 MPH AND WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT WAS CHANGING TO RED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AND SLID ON A PATCH OF ICE. MY ABS KICKED IN AND IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS MY BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, HOWEVER, I FELT VERY UNSAFE. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE WAS A SPLIT SECOND OF PRESSURE AND THEN THE PEDAL WOULD FALL TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, HOWEVER, MY STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED GREATLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET WHERE I WAS GOING BUT I PARKED THE CAR AFTER AND REFUSED TO DRIVE IT. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT AFTER A DAY THE PEDAL CAME BACK AND SEEMED TO BE OPERATING CORRECTLY. I HAD A BRAKE MAINTENANCE DONE, AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I ASSUMED MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE REPLACED ALL PADS AND ROTORS, SO WHEN THIS EVENT HAPPENED AGAIN I KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. I LOOKED AROUND A LITTLE BIT AND IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HAD THE ABS PUMP REPLACED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND SO FAR IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING. THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED THE PUMP MADE THE CAR GO INTO AN ABS EVENT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STAYED STIFF. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE FIX OR NOT, BUT IT BROUGHT MY BRAKE PEDAL BACK FOR THE TIME BEING. I SINCERELY HOPE NHTSA INVESTIGATES. FINDING YOURSELF WITH A LOW BRAKE PEDAL IS TERRIFYING, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. *TR

  SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE NOTICED WHILE BREAKING THE PEDAL GOES SOFT. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS WE CHECK BREAK FLUID LEVEL WHICH IS ALWAYS GOOD. WHEN HEARING ABOUT THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS A DEFECT WITH THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM.

  12/9/16 AFTER ABS ACTIVATED ON ICE, THE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW IT TAKES SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BRAKES TO STOP QUICKLY.

  LOST MY FRONT BRAKES AFTER HITTING POTHOLE ON ONE OCCASION AND HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN WET WEATHER WITH MINOR BUMPS, FIGURED OUT THAT I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF TO RESET COMPUTER AND PUMPED MY BRAKES AS IF I JUST CHANGED THEM AND THEY CAME BACK.THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO MADE SOME CALLS TO DEALERS WITH NO ANSWERS AND MY MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE THEN

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  IN TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD ON SLIPPERY SURFACES. BOTH TIMES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AND STOPPED ME, BUT IN EACH CASE THE NEXT TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT SOFT, NEARLY TOUCHED THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKING WAS LESS EFFECTIVE. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON A STREET.

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER BRAKING (LIGHT OR HEAVY) CONDITIONS OVER ROUGH OR UNEVEN SURFACES, SUCH AS A MANHOLE COVER, OR ON SLIPPERY ROADS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS INCREASES THE DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR, HEIGHTENING THE CHANCE OF A CRASH. SPECIFICALLY- THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CIRCUMSTANCES OVER A ROUGH OR SLIPPERY SURFACE AT LESS THAN 30MPH, AT THIS TIME THE ABS ENGAGES (SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATELY/TOO CONSERVATIVE APPLICATION OF ABS), AND IT FEELS AS IF AIR IS INJECTED INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BY THE ABS PUMP AT THIS TIME (NOT 100% SURE IF THAT IS WHAT IS OCCURRING, BUT THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE), AS THE PEDAL WILL BECOME EITHER VERY SOFT (POOR BRAKES WITH HEAVY BIAS FRONT TO BACK THROUGHOUT THE PEDAL TRAVEL) OR GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR (NO BRAKES). IF THE BRAKES ARE PUMPED IN A PANIC MODE RAPID SUCCESSION AFTER THIS "NO BRAKES" CONDITION, THE PEDAL WILL INCREASE IN STIFFNESS SOMEWHAT, BUT STILL ONLY WHAT I WOULD CHARACTERIZE AS 30% BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. BARELY ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP IN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. AFTER THIS ABS PUMP CYCLING, THE PEDAL WILL ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT BRAKING "FEEL" WITH EVERY SINGLE SUBSEQUENT BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION CYCLE. SOMETIMES THE REAR BRAKES ENGAGE FIRST, NOT SLOWING THE CAR SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH W/OUT THE FRONT BRAKES, FORCING INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED, THEN THE FRONT BRAKES ENGAGE SUDDENLY AND UNSETTLE THE CAR. THIS BRAKING CONDITION LASTS INDEFINITELY AFTER THE ABS PUMP CYCLING EVENT. EVEN IF THE BRAKES ARE BLED BY A FORD OR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED MECHANIC, THE CAR IS SUBJECT TO THIS SAME BEHAVIOR UPON THE NEXT CYCLING OF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 201K MILES, AND HAS BEEN EXHIBITING THIS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR SINCE APPROXIMATELY 75K MILES. DATE OCCURRED FIELD ON THIS WEBPAGE IS MOST RECENT TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER MANY YEARS.

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  I LOOSE ANTI LOCK BRAKES COMPLETELY/PARTIALLY WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY. THE BRAKES BECOME VERY "LOOSE" MEANING ALL THEY WAY TO THE FLOOR. I NOTICED THIS STARTING LAST YEAR, THEN AGAIN THIS YEAR.

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER HOTTING A RUT OR POTHOLE, OR THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

  SHORTLY AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION, THE CAR HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING SOFT AND HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP WITHOUT ADDITIONAL EFFORT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT SAID TO FIND A SPOT TO GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED AND FORCE A RAPID BRAKING SITUATION TO GET THE STUCK SPOOL VALVES IN THE ABS UNIT TO RELEASE. I DID THIS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I DID THIS SO THAT THE CAR COULD BE FUNCTIONAL BEFORE GOING TO THE COLLISION SHOP FOR REPAIRS. AT THE COLLISION SHOP, I ASKED FOR THE CARS BRAKE SYSTEM TO BE INSPECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS ABS UNITS ISSUES, AND EVEN BROUGHT IN A COPY OF THE ONLINE RESEARCH I HAD DONE. THE FORD DEALER THAT DID THE COLLISION REPAIR DID NOT FIND ANY BRAKE ISSUE TO CORRECT. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER WITH A RECENT SNOWFALL THAT HAD LEFT OUR AREA ICY, THE CAR'S ABS UNIT WAS CALLED ON FOR A SLIP CONDITION WHILE STOPPING. MY DAUGHTER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS EVENT WHEN IT OCCURRED, AND I TOLD HER I WOULD BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT INSPECTED IT. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN, THE CAR WAS AGAIN FINE. I AM WANTING THIS ISSUE TO BE PUSHED FORWARD TO FORCE FORD TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIR THE CAR, SINCE IT HAS SHOW TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES OF WHAT I WOULD CALL BRAKE FAILURE.

  WHILE FIRST DRIVING MY CAR FROM A STANDSTILL, I NOTICED THE "WRENCH IDIOT LIGHT" ON. THE CAR SEEMED TO BUCK AS IT WENT THROUGH IT'S GEARS. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED "0" AT THIS TIME. UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO WHAT I THINK IS 4TH GEAR. SEVERAL TIMES, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN THROTTLED BACK TO A LOW RPM, BEFORE RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL. EVENTUALLY, I COULD RUN AT 55 MPH @ 3000 RPM'S, BUT IT WOULDN'T SHIFT ANY FURTHER, EVEN WHEN I WENT FASTER. AT THIS TIME, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FINALLY REGISTERED MY TRUE SPEED. A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE RPM'S SUDDENLY SHOT-UP AND THEN THE ENGINE THROTTLED BACK. HOWEVER, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO IT'S FINAL FORWARD GEAR BUT COULDN'T. ON LOCAL ROADS. IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD INTO IT'S GEARS. THE WHOLE TIME, THE CAR'S "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS ON. *TR

THEY ALSO STRESS THAT NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS THEY CAN BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THE AIRBAG IF IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THEY FORGOT TO MENTION IS THE TRADE IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS NONE. IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE SO THE DEALERS CAN NOT RESELL IT SO THEY DON'T WANT IT AS A TRADE. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO EITHER BUY BACK THE VEHICLE OR TELL THEIR DEALERS TO GIVE A SPECIAL TRADE VALUE. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT TRADE IN AND I CAN NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. EVER TRY GOING ON A DATE AND SHE HAS TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT?

IN ADDITION, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A RENTAL CAR AS THE RECALL NOTICE STATES I CAN OBTAIN SINCE ALL RENTALS FOR THIS RECALL ARE RENTED OUT ALONG WITH THE FACT I HAVE A TEENAGE DRIVER WHO CANNOT GET A RENTAL CAR AT HER AGE.

  BREAK PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY WITH VERY WEAK BRAKES. BELIEVE THIS TO BE ABS PUMP PROBLEM AFTER READING UP WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM (EXCEPT ABS PUMP) THUS FAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?
