general problems of the 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. While driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard before the vehicle stopped. The anti-lock brake system and the brake indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred five other times intermittently. Once the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the failure would stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (ed whittmeier Ford in chico, California) for diagnostic testing, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.

The brake system's hydraulic control unit ("hcu"). On several occasions while driving, the brake pedal will travel to the floor while trying to brake resulting in no braking action (ie. , vehicle not slowing). This might happen for one or two pedal depressions before there is any slowing of the vehicle. This problem has placed me in situations where I have to take evasive action to not hit a vehicle in front of me, or traveling into a controlled (with stop signs) intersection. Below there is a space to specify 'when did this happen. ' I am inputting the most recent date of this problem, but it has happened at least ten times before this.

My son was coming to an intersection of a main road from a side street and when he went to step on the break the SUV would not stop he didn't expect this and pushed down as hard as he could if stopped out in the main road lucky no one was out there. I have checked on the web and a lot of people have had the same problem it seam to be something with the electric brake system that stops the SUV. I uses mostly the regenerating system to stop the SUV not the pad only a little is use so if the system has a problem you have a danger of not stopping as quickly as expected. . . . . You may have an major problem from what I under stand there are a few thing that can cause this contition. . . .

Intermittent failure of the abs system due to broken abs exciter ring. Caused uncontrolled skidding on smooth parking lot and jittery braking in traffic conditions at about 30 mph.

Tone rings have been failing annually. This causes the brakes to pulsate, rather than come to a complete and predictable stop, and disables the anti-lock brake system until tone rings can be replaced.
