general problems of the 2008 Mercury Milan - part 1

In March 2021 I received important safety recall from Ford advising me that the airbag inflator might explode in the event of a crash and may cause injury or death to the driver or passengers. My daughter still drives this car, why have they not followed up and replaced this part?.

I have been notified by Ford motor company several times about the recalls on my vehicle. One recall is for airbags. I went to the closest dealership new my small town and thought they issued the fix, only to learn later that they just disconnect the airbag light. The second recall is for the brakes, I have been calling since January of 2021 to request a service date only to be told they have no knowledge of the recall. On March 30,2021 I finally got a service date and express to the representative on the phone to assure that she knew it was for the break recall 19s54, she assured me the knew. I took off work that morning for by service appointment only to be told that they did not have the equipment to fix the issue. I was told to call other dealerships and turned away. I called 4 surrounding dealerships with in a 50 mile radius only to be told no one can perform the procedure. I then called Ford customer relationship center for assistance. She called one other dealership that said they could not fix the issue as well. April 2020 I receive a letter from Ford motor company saying parts are now available to repair you vehicle. Called dealership 5/17/2021 they still cannot fix issue nor have any information on who can. Help! Ford motor company, how can I get the recalls fix if none of your dealerships in my area are capable of repairing them?.

The contact owns a 2008 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that he had initially received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags) and had the vehicle serviced at a dealer. Despite the recall repair, the passenger’s and driver’s side air bag warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the abs warning light was also illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had yet to experience a brake failure despite the warning light. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21v158000 (air bags) and 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the parts for the recall repairs were unavailable. The manufacturer had been notified of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I got into a car crash and my air bags did not come out when I got into a car crash.

My vehicle has been the subject of two recalls with no action on the part of the manufacturer to fix the problems. On 1/21/20 I took the vehicle in to the dealer, hertrich capitol, 1127 south dupont highway, dover, DE, because the brake pedal was soft. I was charged $58 for a brake inspection and was told they could not duplicate the problem. No mention of the recall or a fix was mentioned. Two recalls on this vehicle, for airbag and brake problems have been left unresolved for years. I am the original owner of this vehicle purchased at this location.

The air bags have been fixed. Sometimes when I apply my brakes they are soft and I have to apply more pressure to stop. When this happens I drive really slow because I don't know if I'm going to be able to stop in time. I have not kept track of how many time this has happened. At least 5 times in the last 6 months. Twice I went to my mechanic and they bled the brake line to get it fixed. Winter is here and I hope this does not cause a wreck because you expect us to wait until you get the parts. I have no other transportation and need my car.

Takata recall we've been told about this recall and have not been told what to do about it. We need to know what to do because my wife has had people ride in her car. We don't want to be sued or have anyone die because of this airbag issue. Please tell us what to do here. Thank you.

Takata too! I drove Milan to stop sign. As I went forward, went into 'limp home' mode (found term while researching). 1st time this ever happened. No forewarning! I was able to get car to crawl to the curb. Saw orange wrench light up. Shut off engine. When I restarted, I was able to drive short distance home. Next day, tried 3 times to start. It started, but quickly stalled each time. Towed to my mechanic. He checked computer, saw there was a problem. He doesn't do that work. Told me wrench and engine light come on. Towed to Ford dealership on Friday. It is now 9 days there, and day 11 will be Monday 3/19/18. I spoke 3 times to service dept. (same person), and am being told they are backed up with work, and haven't looked at my car yet. Each convo he says what day they should get to it, but have lied so far. So, not diagnosed yet. I have never received any notice from Ford about this possibly becoming an issue with my car. Also, I never received notice about 'takata recall'. I saw it on the internet and alerted service dept. To check that too. I was told they have to see if my car has that type of airbag. I researched and saw the Ford consumer program 13n03. That investigation involves 2009-2013 Milans. Extended warranty 10 yrs or 150,000 miles. I know this is the problem with my car. I bought it may 2011 with under 52,0000 miles on it. Not even 7 yrs yet, and I have under 60,000 miles on it because it's only for local driving. It's the only vehicle I have and I can't get rental car help thru insurance unless my car was in an accident. Ford won't help on a loaner car either. Now, I believe Ford has a protocol they are following to 'get out' of any free repairs. The nccc suggests phoning 1-800-392-3673 if I never received letter, but that phone number is Ford! seriously? should I bother? this is in staten island, NY. Beware! can I please get any help on what to do?.

Takaka recall: still waiting for replacement. Brakes: I was taking my granddaughter home and had to stop at a traffic light. My brake pedal went straight to the floor!! my heart was in my throat. Fortunately no-one was in front of me and I was able to stop after pumping many times. My service center said I needed a new abs system costing $1500.

We received a recall notice in the mail but we were told that they stopped making the parts.

Takata recall - I received the recall notice, dated March, 2017, instructing me to contact my dealer (mason city Ford Lincoln) for a free replacement airbag. Unfortunately, I broke my back on christmas eve, 2016 and had extensive surgery in August, 2017, so I did not make the call to the dealership where I had purchased the vehicle until January 3, 2018. At that time, the service repair person informed me that the replacement part necessary to remedy the situation had not yet been made available to him by the company. I asked specifically, "so you are telling me that there is no way you are able to obtain the part at this time to make the repair needed to make this vehicle safe?" the service person replied that was correct, that there was nothing he could do. I again restated, "so I am just supposed to continue driving around with airbags full of shrapnel?" he replied that he was sorry. Obviously, this response and complete lack of remedial options is dangerous and unacceptable. . Read more...

Takata recall the recall appears to be ongoing. I plan to move out of state requiring me to drive long distance with a passenger, a pet and my belongings. With the recall on the passenger airbag, I feel uncomfortable going forward with my move. My other option is to sell the car, but that would not be fair to the buyer. Please provide an alternate solution besides a rental car.

Takata recall 16s26/htsa recall 16v-384 notified of recall several months ago, I am afraid to have a passenger in the car due to the event of a crash and air bag rupture increasing the risk of "serious injury or death" as stated in the notice. Please provide a resolution.

I'm just now getting a recall letter stating that parts for my car have been recalled and it appears as though they have known since July 2016. Additionally it states that they have sent me a previous letter which is entirely not factual and this is the first I'm hearing about it. Also there is no fix? so how am I suppose to trust the safety of my car when they can't even fix it for me? I also find it convenient that they are just now letting me now, now that it's over the statutory time frame in which they would have to fix on their dime.

Takata recall - I called the dealership to get my car serviced for the airbag recall replacement and they stated they received a letter informing them there are no airbag parts to replace the recalled equipment due to takata filing for bankruptcy. The deadline for filing proof of claim is 12/27/2017 but no parts will be available until spring 2018, according to the letter the dealership received. I did submit a claim form on the tkrestructuring. Com/ppic page as well.

Takata recall I have contacted my carlot whom told me to contact Ford. I did so I told them of the issue and I was blown off I then proceeded to inform them that I have a family of 5 in which I need use of my passenger seat they continued to say they understand my frustration and that I would not be compensated for this inconvenience I was told by my carlot that I would have to trade my vehicle in which I would have to pay cash for I need this to be escalated to higher levels of help.

Dealer is not responsive to requests on progress with replacing takata explosive airbags.

Takara recall. Front airbags buckle during stationary mode in direct sunlight. Driver's seat airbags also buckled off track while in motion.

Tl takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Mercury Milan. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

Takata recall. Despite being notified over a year ago that my passenger airbag could potentially cause death to any passengers in the case of deployment, I am told that there are no airbag replacements at the local dealer and that there is no estimated time frame for their availability. So I am stuck driving a potential death trap due to the negligence of takata both in design and in remediation of their grave error. Tk holdings sent me a postcard urging that I get the airbag replaced as takata has declared bankruptcy, but there seems to be no actual way to do so. So I continue to be stuck driving an unsafe vehicle due to manufacturer negligence.

Takata recall: I have rcvd numerous recall warnings however when I took my car to my local dealership they said they hadn't yet received replacement airbags! now I'm receiving a notice that takata has filed for bankruptcy so I should take action! how am I supposed to take action? why aren't these airbags available so they can be replaced before a problem?.

Takata recall. When calling dealerships that are booking for replacement of takata air bags, I am told the parts are not in for the Mercury Milan and they do not know when they will be in. How long will I have to wait? I am afraid to drive the car.

"takata recall" in the last 1 1/2 year I have spent $1500 in brake issues. Brake pedal just goes soft. This is within the last 7000 miles that I have owed the car. Current miles 68,000.

Takata recall: received a letter in July 2016 for this recall. No movement from Ford. They have been contacted twice. Second concern: "soft brakes" the peddle has too much play and is a concern for stopping distance. Called Ford and they stated my vehicle not included even though I am experiencing the problem with my brakes.

The napleton Lincoln dealer in glenview said that the parts have not yet come out, so they cannot fix the airbags. They said the parts are first being sent to the south and will be coming to the midwest after.
