I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE 2009 MERCURY MILAN. IT USUALLY STARTS AS HAVING TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES FAIRLY QUICKLY (EITHER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKE IN EMERGENCY, OR STOPPING OVER A DIRT ROAD OR SLOWING OVER A SPEED BUMP). THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL ACTIVATE THE ABS (PUMP 3-4 TIMES) AND DEPRESS CLEAR TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ACTUALLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND UNTIL I HAVE THE BRAKE LINES BLED THERE IS 0 PRESSURE IN MY BRAKE PEDAL (PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO TO FLOOR WITHOUT COMPLETELY STOPPING THE CAR). I RECENTLY HAD THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REPLACED WHICH ONLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME AND HAVE JUST HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING "SEEMS FINE" AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM. CLEARLY THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!

BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND CAR FAILS TO STOP OR TAKES PROLONGED TIME TO COME TO A STOP. IF YOU PUMP BRAKE PEDAL REPEATEDLY THE PEDAL WILL STIFFEN BUT GRADUALLY GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. RECENTLY HAD DEALER INSTALL NEW BRAKE FRONT AND REAR AND THIS HAS NOT ABATED THE PROBLEM. PRINTED DOCUMENTATION FROM NHTSA WEBSITE AND MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION. DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NOTHING FORMAL HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BRAKING PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING BUT PERIODIC FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL & SLOWED DOWN FOR THE SPEEDBUMP. I STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY BUT THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO MISS THE DRIVEWAY & TURN INTO THE YARD. AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP SO I SCREAMED AT MY HUSBAND "JAMES I CAN'T STOP THE CAR!" HE YANKED THE HANDBRAKE UP BUT IT DIDN'T STOP OR SLOW DOWN AND THE ENGINE MADE A CONTINUOUS HIGH PITCHED RACING SOUND. WE CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE, DAMAGING IT & BREAKING MY LEFT ARM! THE CAR WAS TOTALED. ALL THIS OCCURRED IN JUST A MATTER OF SECONDS. FORTUNATELY OUR FAMILY WAS IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOUSE AND WEREN'T INJURED.

TAKATA AIRGAB INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL: FOR OVER 1 YEAR, THERE HAS BEEN RECALL 16V-384 WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW, THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE PARTS ARE BANKRUPT. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WHAT ADDITIONAL STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS?

TAKATA RECALL HAVE WAITED ALMOST A YEAR TO HAVE THESE FIXED. DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THESE TO FIX IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO ME OR A PASENGER? I AM TIRED OF THEM PUTTING ME OFF I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED NOW.

TAKATA RECALL.I CALLED THE FORD GARAZE NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS AIR BAG NEEDING REPLACED AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME THE PART IS ON ORDER AND CANT GET IT IN..MY AIRBAG HAS BEEN SEPARATING AT THE SEAM AND IM CONCERENED THAT IT WILL EXPLODE WITH MY CHILD IN THE FRONT SEAT

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE, IN MARCH 2017, FROM FORD, THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED. WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER WHEN I NEEDED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. 8 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO LETTER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM IN. ON THE AIRBAG RECALL.COM WEBSITE, IT SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL SINCE JANUARY 2017.

I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. TWO MONTHS AFTER NOTIFICATION I WENT TO THE OXMOOR FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE TIME TO HAVE CAR FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS IN. OVER A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I HEARD NOTHING. PLEASE NOT2 I AM BABYSITTING MY YOUNGER GRANDCHILDREN AND USE MY CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE BEEN BACK SEVERAL MORE TIME TO TALK TO THEM. (AND PHONE CALLS) WHICH I AM TOLD OVERTIME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. OVERTIME I AM TOLD THEY HAVE ME ON THEIR LIST BUT OVERTIME I GO THEY NEVER HEARD OF ME. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING PUT OFF. P>S> I GOT AN OFFER TO BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM.

TAKEDA RECALL UNABLE TO GET IT FIX NO CALLS TO GET IT REPLACE CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVERS/PASSENGERS SAFETY

TAKATA RECALL - MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG HAS NOT GONE OFF AS YET.

WHILE EXITING ONTO RAMP FROM EXPRESSWAY ON WET PAVEMENT, I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR. I DROVE OVER A SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AS A RESULT, I NEEDED INCREASED DISTANCE TO STOP MY CAR. MY BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL SOMETIME LATER.

I RECEIVED THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY CONCERNING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER NOTIFICATION FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PART AND INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AUTO NATION IN MARIETTA, GEORGIA, A NUMBER OF TIMES TO DETERMINE THE STATUS OF THIS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. CONSIDERING THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THEY DESCRIBE IN THE RECALL NOTICE, I CERTAINLY THINK THAT THIS HAS DRAGGED ON MUCH TOO LONG, AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DANGER OF DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY.

I CALLED A FORD DEALER FROM YOUR SITE TO GET THE AIR BAGS FIXED FROM THE RECALL BUT THEY SAID THEY AREN'T READY YET AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE? SO I HAVE FAULTY AIR BAGS IN MY CAR BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO GET THEM FIXED YET? I AM CONFUSED...HOW CAN I GET THIS RECALL FIXED?

AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK-BRAKE-ASSISTED BRAKING MANEUVER, ON BOTH WET AND DRY ROAD SURFACES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT, AND REQUIRES EXTRAORDINARY PRESSURE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH WET ROAD SURFACES (FOR EXAMPLE, DURING OR AFTER RAIN) AND DRY ROAD SURFACES (FOR EXAMPLE, ROUGH SURFACES OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES IN THE ROAD). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGULARLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR. WHILE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AREN'T USED REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING, THE 5-6 TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED IN THIS TIME FRAME HAVE INCURRED THE PROBLEM. AFTERWARDS, I HAVE TO APPLY MUCH MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS DURING NORMAL STOP-AND-GO TYPE SITUATIONS ON BOTH WET AND DRY ROAD SURFACES.

THE AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WHEN CONTACTING THE FORD DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE COMPANY MAKING THE AIRBAGS HAS GONE BANKRUPT AND THERE IS NOT A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FOR THE DEFECTIVE ONE IN THE VEHICLE. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILL A PASSENGER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THE WAY IT IS AND FORD DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THIS RECALLED NEW PART WILL BE COME AVAILALBE.

TAKATA RECALL HAS JUST BEEN EXPANDED AGAIN AND THE DATE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL PROBABLY BE EXTENDED AGAIN. WHOEVER WILL LISTEN AT NHTSA; I'D LIKE TO SHOW A PIC OF A SMALL KEVLAR 29 FILLED BLANKET I HAVE INSTALLED OVER MY CARS PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG. SINCE FORD ISN'T DOING ANYTHING VERY SOON I FEEL THIS WILL HELP TOWARD REDUCING THE CHANCES OF A THROAT OR HEAD TRAUMA DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAN YOU GET THIS PICTURE TO ANYONE INTERESTED AS THERE'S MILLIONS WITH THIS RECALL IN LIMBO. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT RECALLED - YET, BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR COULD BE PRODUCED CHEAPLY.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE WAITED OVER A YEAR NOW, AND FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE MY POTENTIALLY LETHAL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR, NOR DO THEY (AS OF 7/6/2017) EVEN HAVE A PROJECTED DATE THE PART/S WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE.

ABS BREAKS FAIL TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS WHEN MY WIFE HIT AN UNEVEN SURFACE PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY. THE BREAK PRESSURE REQUIRED HER TO FLOOR THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED. MY WIFE PUMPED THE BREAKS TO GET THE VEHICLE'S BREAK PRESSURE BACK TO NORMAL. WE ARE CONCERNED AND DON'T WHEN THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WE ARE VERY FEARFUL AT THIS POINT. WHAT IF SHE WAS GOING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED OR APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD IN BURLINGTON NJ AND CARSENSE OF WESTAMPTON NJ BOTH PLACES TO GO TO EACH OTHER. FORD IN LUMBERTON GAVE ME THE FORD 800 NUMBER WHICH I CALLED BUT THEY PROVIDED ME WITH EMPATHY BUT NO SOLUTION. IF I DRIVE OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE THIS EVENING IT'S POSSIBILITY MY BREAKS COULD FAIL AGAIN. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES ACTION AGAINST THIS HIDDEN DANGER.

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD THAT WAS SLIPPERY DUE TO ICY CONDITIONS. I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN A CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT AFTER THE INCIDENT THE BRAKES WENT"SOFT" AND I HAD TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE AND PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO BRAKE ADEQUATELY. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPERS BUT FIXED THEM. WHEN THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM HE PUT IN A NEW FACTORY MASTER CYLINDER WHICH ALSO DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. HE THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. MY CAR IS STILL NOT BRAKING PROPERLY.
