Brake Light On problems of the 2011 Mercury Milan

Both brake lights when out, and went in for replacement bulbs after waiting in the dealership for 7 hours I was told that the led brake lights were defective and it would be well over 1,000 to fix. I purchased an extended warranty that they say covers nothing!!!! (currently have a broken d riverside door handle). I purchased the car used last may, within 3 weeks I had transmission issues which were covered by the warranty, then the door handle, now brake lights. I feel these lights should be part of a recall becuz who has over 1,000 dollars to replace led brake lights??? I'm very upset and disappointed. . . . Also broke and can't afford this repair. . . . . . Please help!!!!!!!.

The driver's side brake light began flickering after the car was parked. I was also informed after this was noticed that it flickers (gets brighter) while driving. The passenger brake light also stayed brightly illuminated last year, and I was told it would be over $500 to replace the light assembly. Fortunately, my vehicle sustained an accident and the passenger light was damaged further and replaced. Now a defect is occurring on the driver's side.

Brought the car for state safety inspection. Inspection failed because brake lights would not increase brightness when brakes applied and headlamps on. Lights appear ok when headlamps not on. Car is unsafe to drive when headlights are required. Ford says not covered under warranty or under extended warranty. Could cost nearly $1000. 00 to repair. Online forums seem to indicate it is a common problem. Afraid to drive the car for fear it will happen again and I won't know until someone runs into me.

The left rear brake light is not functioning. This light is not a normal incandescent bulb. It is an led that is not owner-serviceable. The only fix is that the entire taillight assembly needs to be replaced by the dealer at a cost of approximately $400. Any buyer's expectation is that when a light bulb burns out, we should be able to replace it ourselves for fifty cents. Since this 50-cent item is now unexpectedly $400, the net effect is that all owners will continue to drive around with two of three, one of three or no brake lights at all. This should be an immediate safety recall.

I was made aware of my tail light not functioning when I applied the brakes. When I tried to replace the bulb, I soon learned that the brake light is led and a sealed unit, making it virtually impossible to repair. The replacement unit is astronomically expensive, prices between $150-$350 used. If the unit had a replaceable bulb, then I wouldn't even be writing this. I understand that nothing will most likely be done about this, but it is worth noting that this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

I bought my Milan at a used Ford dealer when the car was 2 years old. When I was driving off of the lot my husband was following me and noticed that the brake light on the passenger side was out. One year later the brake light on the other (driver) side is out. The car is no longer under factory warranty and the dealer said it would cost total of 417. 00. This obviously is a safety issue that should be addressed.
