5 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2016

Brakes go out after abs incident. 3 times in one year. 1st time/ icy conditions traveling at 15 mph approaching red light, abs engaged, brake pedal lost pressure and stayed to the floor for 3 hours before returning to normal. Last month, dry conditions on main city road , 50 mph posted speed, had to slam on brakes go avoid collision. Abs engaged, lost all braking ability because of no brake pressure once again. Brakes stayed out for hours, until minimal pressure returned. Replaced all pads and rotors, fluid, as well as master cylindar. 3 weeks later, dry pavement, mid turn (20 mph) lightly applied brake. Abs engaged and lost all brake pressure again. Has been 3 days and brake pressure has still not returned. After much research this is a common and reoccurring problem for this vehicle and also the for fusion model. After spending a lot of money for repairs and replacements, tests, the problem persists and returns. I do not feel safe in this vehicle with this issue!!! my son and I have been put in severe danger three times now due to a malfunctioning abs/brake system!!!.

6 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2015

Well, there have been lots of problems with my Mercury. On my trips to tennessee to care for my elderly parents, on a return trip from tennessee to florida, my car lost power steering and slowed to a crawl. I was able to manipulate my car to the side of the road where it was not overheating but would not increase in speed past 20 mph. I was able to take an exit and find an autoparts store and have the engine checked, the belt had come completely off without being broken. I had to have this replaced. I have experienced a total loss of coolant when the hose broke loose. Also, my problems with the wear and replacement of brake pads and rotors very, very frequently. This seems to be a major issue with this car. This morning, 12/8/2015, on my way to work the wrench light came on and I noticed my car jumping when slowing and changing to the lower gears and also upon accelerating, the jumping also occurred. I have contacted my mechanic and am awaiting a response.

7 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

I went over a bump and hit the brakes at the same time and the next time I hit the brakes, the pedal went all the way to the floor before even beginning to slow the car down. I've had the pads, rotors and drums replaced and had the break lines bled on more than one occasion. At one time, just repeatedly pumping the brakes would bring them back up but now that no longer works. My mechanic has done as much as he can but says the next thing is replacing the abs but he doesn't feel that is going to make a difference as he's done research into the issue and it appears that even those owners with the same issue who did have more expensive repairs done were still left with braking issues. This car has been at my mechanic's shop for 3 weeks because I'm concerned about driving it. It has now become a major safety issue for myself as well as for other drivers on the road. I've checked the recalls and it doesn't appear that there is one for this particular issue; although I've read hundreds of similar complaints. I am now stuck with a car that cannot safely be driven. Although I've noted the date to be June 2015, that is approximately the first time I had this issue. ## VIN passed ## 2008 Mercury Milan ##.
