general problems of the 2007 Mercury Milan

Air bag is coming apart it looks like it's about to deploy. Brakes keep freezing up. When it's cold outside and when it's hot outside. Changed cold and spark plugs both times spark plugs and coils were burnt at the end and some type of gook was on the ends that both shops said they never saw before.

Issue with driver seat power switch/motor. Driver seat only moves back not forward making it difficult to reach pedals.

I was driving in town at around 30mph. My abs warning light came on. The car started making a strange noise. Then when breaking the back breaks seemed to be trying to lock up. Then the passenger airbag warning light came on. After this happened all my gauges including my speedometer, blinkers, headlights, rpm, etc. Became inoperable. I am not able to drive the car at all due to this issue.

When driving and a pothole is struck, brakes go out completely for a few seconds. As a whole, the brakes now operate at only approx. 25% effectiveness. The issue was confirmed to be related to the hydraulic control unit (hcu) by allstate insurance CO. , woltz and wind Ford (local dealer), and apex autobody (local autobody).

Extended braking distance this is now the second time this has happened to my car, the first time was last winter. It was a little slippery on the roads so I was not at all going fast, coming to a stop sign in my neighborhood braking, the antilock brakes kicked in, made a little noise, I stopped and then went on my way. The next time I came to stop after that I could barely stop and had to press my foot to the floor to do so. It was like it wanted to stop at the normal time but then released a little to have my foot go all the way down to then stop. I took it to the local neighborhood auto place, and they didn't know what it could be but they bleed the brakes and did something else that actually fixed it. Fast forward to this year December, same thing, turning into a store parking lot, so again going slow, slippery out, anti lock brakes kick in. I didn't think anything of it because the car had been fixed last year. However, when I went to park I almost crashed right into the front of the store because I was not prepared to not stop on time. I was able to stop finally, scared to death. Took it back to the same place they still can't figure it out and tried what they did last time but it didn't work. Around this same time I came across the article about the investigative recall about this very issue, forwarded it to the Lincoln Mercury dealership I got my car from and was told yes they know what it is and have had to repair several already this winter but since it is not an actual recall I would have to pay to get it fixed. It involves the hci (hydrolic control unit) and eci (electrical control unit). So now I'm stuck, still scared until this recall happens or until I can come up with the $900+ they say it will cost.

Was driving home on the expressway where the speed limit is 65 and vehicle wouldn't go over 55 with rpm's at 3000. All the while having the wrench idiot light on. Hoping there is recall because I can't afford a new vehicle or even for it to be fixed.

I won a 2007 Mercury Milan with a 3. 0l dohc motor. I was turning onto the road I live on, started to accelerate, and it started spitting and sputtering. It felt like it was running on only a few cylinders. We had the computer scanned, and replaced the two coils that it claimed were the issue. Drove it down the road, and it still did the same thing. We then took it to a local automotive electrician, who told us that one of the the coils we didn't replace (which never showed up as bad) melted so badly, and shorted out the pcm. He replaced a few more coils, the pcm, had the computer flashed/reprogrammed. I've read all over the internet that this has happened several times with this same motor, and I'm wondering why Ford/Mercury have not bothered to issue a recall.
