2006 Mercury Milan complaints

TAKATA RECALL BEEN WAITING SINCE I GOT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016 FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME TO SCHEDULE A APPT FOR REPAIR WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE

"TAKATA RECALL" RECALL ON AIR BAGS BUT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED SAID THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO FIX IT CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TWICE, TOLD AGAIN NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. WENT TWICE TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. RECEIVED RECALL ON JULY 15, 2016

TAKATA RECALL 16V384000 DATED JUNE 2016. DEALER HAS NO PARTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY RESPONSE IS PASSIVE, UNCARING AT BEST. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO USE AND IMPOSSIBLE AND IMMORAL TO SELL. NHTSA NOTICE NOW STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT ORDERED A DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 27, 2017 FOR ALL CLAIMS. CAN STATUS OF REPLACEMENT BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY BE INVESTIGATED AND EXPEDITED?

TAKATA RECALL,RECEIVED A POST CARD FROM TK HOLDINGS EXPLAINING ABOUT THE CHAPTER 11 THAT WAS FILED.,IT STATES TO CONTACT YOUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND NEITHER ONE COULD HELP BECAUSE FIRST THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE POSTCARD UNTIL,THEY STARTED GETTING CALLS ABOUT IT. SECOND, THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS, ONE SAID THEY WOULDN'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT TO GET THE PARTS.SO IT SOUNDS LIKE TO THIS WAS VERY DISORGANIZED THROUGH THIS COMPANY AND MERCURY FORD , NO COMMUNICATION TO THEIR DEALERS. WHAT DO I DO NOW TO GET THE AIRBAG AND GET IT INSTALLED.. THE DEALERSHIP NEAR ME SAID, THEY ARE SORRY BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND THEY WERE SORRY BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AND I WAS THE 10TH PERSON THAT CALLED THEM TODAY ABOUT THIS POST CARD. THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE FOR MY VEHICLE .

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JULY 2016 (OVER ONE YEAR AGO) AND FORD HAS STILL NOT MADE AVAILABLE A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH AND FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A REPAIR EVEN AFTER YEARS OF KNOWING THE EXTREME RISKS THEIR PRODUCT MAY CAUSE.

IN MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE THE BRAKES HAVE SUDDENLY GONE "SOFT", MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BREAK. ONE TIME THE DRIVER WENT OVER A BUMPY AREA IN THE ROAD AND TWO OTHER TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN THE ROADS WERE WET. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN REAR-ENDING ANOTHER CAR. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE DRIVER WAS HEADING NORTH ON GOVERNOR'S SQUARE BOULEVARD TOWARDS E. MAGNOLIA DRIVE IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY AND THE ROADS WERE WET. THE DRIVER WAS WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MPH. AS THE DRIVER APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT WAS RED. WHEN THE DRIVER HIT THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT "SOFT" AND SHE HAD TO PUSH IT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO CONTINUING BRAKING. THOUGH THE CAR WAS SLOWING, IT WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP BEFORE THE REACHING OTHER CARS AT THE INTERSECTION. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE CAR REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR WHICH THEN PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT. THE DRIVERS OF THE 2 OTHER VEHICLES STOPPED, POLICE CAME, AND A CRASH REPORT WAS ISSUED. WE DETERMINED IT WOULD BE BEST TO LEAVE THE CAR PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE DETERMINED IF THE BRAKES WOULD RECOVER. WHEN WE RETURNED THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, THE DRIVER IS NOT DRIVING THE CAR. IN THE PREVIOUS 2 OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PROBLEMS, WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST TIME, NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND (DATE COULD BE PROVIDED WITH AUTO RECORDS). THE SECOND TIME (AROUND MAY 2017), IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A MASTER CYLINDER

I RECEIVED A NOTICE BACK IN JANUARY SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG NEEDED REPLACING AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO SET UP A DATE AND TIME TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, BUT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE SOLVED. I AM VERY CONCERNED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STOPPED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT.

TAKATA INFLATORS- I HAVE CONTACTED ADVANTAGE FORD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD CALL FORD HEADQUARTERS OR MERCURY HEADQUARTERS BUT THEY DIDN'T IT WOULD HELP. THIS CAR IS NOW MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND IS SITUATED IN FLORIDA WITH HOT WEATHER YEAR ROUND. I AM SCARED EACH TIME I DRIVE IT THAT I OR MY PASSENGER WILL BE INJURED BY THIS UNSAFE AIRBAG SITUATION. IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE ON TAKATA TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS OR AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE THE CAR MANUFACTURERS PRODUCE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND GO AFTER TAKATA FOR EXPENSES.

WE RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHEN DO WE GET THE AIRBAGS REPAIRED?

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOWS SIGH OF A RAISE IN THE FRONT PART OF THE ENCLOSURE TOP. IT SHOWS WHITHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STOPPED.

AIR BAG PASSENGER SIDE LITE COMES ON...SLIGHT BUCKLE ON DASHBOARD WHERE AIR BAG DEPLOYS

RECALL HAS BEEN UNDER EFFECT FOR OVER A YEAR AND YET, THEY CANNOT REPLACE MY AIRBAG. MY SON IS UNABLE TO SIT IN THE FRONT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT IS TAKING TOO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED FORD AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAIL AND HAD NO ESTIMATED TIME ON REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS MY 6TH ATTEMPT TO GET A REPLACEMENT SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (PILSON FORD, 2000 LAKE LAND BLVD, MATTOON, IL 61938, (217) 234-2397) WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT SUPPLIED THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS FOR MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED MONTHS LATER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS PROTRUDING OUTWARD FROM ITS ORIGINAL STRUCTURED POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR, DATED JULY 2016. IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR NOW AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF THIS PIECE, AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES THAT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS FLAWED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY, SHOULD IT RUPTURE, AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR AND STILL "NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE". PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT A REPLACEMENT PIECE FOR THIS TO BE AVAILABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

WHEN I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION, MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN AND MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST BRAKING POWER. I PUSHED EVEN HARDER ON THE PEDAL AND IT SEEMED LIKE I HAD BRAKES BUT NO POWER TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, PUMPED THE BRAKES TWICE AND RESTARTED. THE PEDAL WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE FINE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED BACK IN 2014 THAT I HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS NEEDING TO BE FIXED. I CONTACTED FORD AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME IN. WHEN I GOT THERE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO DO IT AND SAID THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD ONCE THAT PART CAME IN. I CALLED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE I HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS WORKING WITH BUCKEYE FORD IN LONDON, OH. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE CONTACTED ME BY NOW.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR, EXTREMELY UNSAFE, VERY POOR STOPPING ABILITY

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A LETTER ON JULY 2016 FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY TO BE NOTIFY THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. ALSO BACK IN 2011, THE SUMMERS WERE VERY HOT. WHEN I WALKED TO MY CAR AFTER WORK.. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BUBBLED UP, DOWN BY THE BOTTOM HALF OF WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET MY OIL CHANGES AND OTHER UP KEEPS ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD . FORD SAID TO ME THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID , THEY COULD TRY TO FIX IT BUT THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD WORK. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $300.00 BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE GLOVE BOX OUT AND DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG AND CROSS ARE FINGERS THAT IT HOLDS ONCE THEY BASICALLY GLUE IT. WELL, WHEN I GOT THIS RECALL, IT PUT ME TO THINKING IF THIS RECALL HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS BUBBLING UP LIKE IT DID. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND GET PRETTY GOOD TRADE-INS FOR THEM , NOW BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT OR POSSIBILITY HAVING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE TRADE-IN WILL BE DOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT THAT I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. PEOPLE THAT RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ASK ME IF THE AIRBAG WILL ERUPT WHILE THEY ARE SITTING THERE. I TELL THEM , THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T. (ENCOURAGING WORDS, RIGHT). I'M SENDING YOU THE LETTER I RECEIVED ABOUT THE RECALL BACK ON JU

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED YET, THANK GOD! RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER IT IS NOW NEARLY A YEAR LATER AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING, AND ON OWNER.FORD.COM/TANAKA IT STILL SAYS "STATUS: 12 - RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I'VE BEEN DRIVING IN FEAR ANY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT - KNOWING THAT IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE SENDING METAL FRAGMENTS SHOOTING INTO ME AND MY PASSENGER. HOW IS IT OK THAT THIS IS LEFT "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE?" HOW IS IT OK TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN DANGER WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR? ARE THERE NOT RENTAL CARS THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME IN THE MEAN TIME? I'M TIRED OF WAITING, I'M ABOUT TO MOVE OUT OF THE STATE, AND WILL BE UNABLE TO RECEIVE THE LETTER SAYING IT IS FIXED. WHO KNOWS IF I WILL EVER RECEIVE A LETTER ANYWAY? THIS IS DISGRACEFUL AND HORRIBLE AND FRIGHTENING. I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION UNLESS THIS IS FIXED NOW.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED MY NOTICE FROM FORD IN JUNE OF 2016 THAT MY 2006 MERCURY MILAN HAS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG - RECALL # 16S26. TO DATE I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM FORD THAT REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. MY LOCAL DEALER TELLS ME AIR BAGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, BUT FORD HAS NOT RELEASED ANY FOR THE RECALL. AT WHAT POINT WILL NHSTA DO SOMETHING TO FORCE FORD TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL. IF THEY HAVE PARTS FOR SALE - WHY AREN'T THEY BEING USED FOR THIS RECALL? TAKATA AIRBAGS CAN BE LETHAL.

"TAKATA RECALL" - RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016... BUT IT STATED THAT A 2ND NOTICE/LETTER WILL BE SENT WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE AND THEN CAN CONTACT A DEALER FOR REPAIR... MEANWHILE, NOW WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THAT I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, HOPING THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T SHOW...

"DOOR HANDLES" - ARRIVED AT WORK AND WHEN I PULLED ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE TO EXIT CAR, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICK SOUND AND HANDLE WOULDN'T WORK.. FELT LOOSE.

I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN ON LIMITED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR REPAIRING THESE DEFECTS. THIS IS AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY INFORMING ME OF SEATBELT ISSUE AFFECTING MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO LOCAL LINCOLN//MERCURY/FORD DEALER, PARTS NOT YET AVAILABLE SIX MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, I AM RELUCTANT TO USE THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS AN OLDER VEHICLE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN REGION, WHEN MIGHT I EXPECT THE PART(S) TO BE AVAILABLE?

WELL WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS ON THE HIGHWAY, WE WENT TO PASS A CAR THAT WAS SLOW. WE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE (BECAUSE EVERYONE IF FLYING THROUGH THERE). BUT, AS THAT HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SENT THE RPMS TO A REALLY SCARY AREA WHERE WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. LUCKILY, THEY CAME BACK DOWN BUT AS WE WOULD DRIVE UNTIL IT STOPPED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE FIGURED OUT IF WHEN THAT HAPPENED IF WE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR A WHILE THEN. SO, TO ME IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE WE WENT TO AN AS-E CERTIFIED SHOP AND HAD THE COMPUTERS FLASHED THEN REPROGRAMMED AND IT STILL DOES IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR
