Brakes Failed problems of the 2007 Mercury Milan

Brake failure when trying to stop at any speed including city or highway. When pushing down on pedal to slow down or stop the pedal continues to go down to floor and feels like brake pedal pulses and makes a odd noise like a gurgling and air leaking and when pumped a few times the pedal comes back to normal and I dont think it would stop if the vehicle was needing to stop in a hurry.

While driving normally on highway brakes failed , pedal went to floor no braking . Pumped brakes pedal height came back up and seemed to work normally after . Scared to death , no confidence in brakes . Happened today 2/27/2020 . Received recall notice on brakes last week . Needs fixed now.

This morning when getting on freeway, abs was activated due to snowy weather. After this, brakes needed to be pumped several times and the pedal pushed nearly to the floor for car to stop. Made it to work after narrowly escaping several potential accidents and sliding through a red light due to brake failure. Upon leaving work, brakes were still not functioning properly. The failure made it impossible to stop predictably. Once I returned home I decided to google the issue to see if other Mercury owners have had this issue. As it turns out, it is a massive problem for so many people. I cannot believe there hasn't been a recall yet. After reading so many accounts of accidents due to this issue I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle. I don't want to start replacing parts only to have the issue continue on as many other people have reported.

I have received 2 notices from Ford date 1/2020 an10/20, each advising of a recall regarding the brakes. Each time , the parts are not in and I must continue to drive a vehicle that is totally unsafe. Sometimes when I hit the brakes, the pedal goes straight to the floor like there is an air pocket. I am concerned about my safety and the safety of others should these brakes fail.

Tl takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the pedal had to be pumped because the brake system failed to engage to stop the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle slid forward and the contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not included in any brake recalls or NHTSA action number: pe16017 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. While driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes failed and the brake pedal became stuck to the floorboard. Immediately, the contact placed the vehicle into neutral and coasted to a nearby parking lot. The contact restarted the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal several times in an attempt to correct the recurring failure. Towne Ford (3535 southwestern blvd, orchard park, new york 14127, (716) 662-6500) was contacted and stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Just purchased this car used. 91, k miles. Brakes failed on me. I turned around in a parking lot making a sharp left turn and pulled back out onto the road. I was only about 20 yards from a stop sign. When I approached the stop sign, my breaks went to the floor and we went straight through the intersection, unable to stop. I pumped them like crazy and we slowed to a stop about 4 car lengths from the stop sign.

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.

Following an abs event, the brakes fail immediately. The brake pedal goes completely to the floor. It is terrifying and highly dangerous. It has happened for years but only occasionally, but when it does you find yourself in a life and death situation. Following an incident the brakes start to work again. I brought it to the attention of my local dealership and they said, that they couldn't duplicate the situation. Look around the internet and there are many people who have experienced this problem, both on Mercury Milans and on Ford fusions. The problem seems to be a faulty hcu (hydrolic control unit).

Brakes fail following an abs event. Brake pedal becomes soft and sinks to the floor. If brakes are pumped repeatedly they can be returned to normal - but then fail again upon a subsequent abs event. Tried having brake fluid flushed and rebled -temporary solution until next abs event. This failure is life endangering - this car is unsafe. Google the web this car and the fusion have repeated complaints of this type of failure.
