Brake pedal is extremely soft and requires pressing almost to the floor for the car to stop. Changing pads and rotors, replacing brake fluid, and bleeding brake system does not help.
Was leaving my church parking lot going straight up the isle doing maybe 15 miles per hour when a car backed out right in from of me. When I slammed my brakes on the peddle went to the floor with no response. I pulled my emergency brake to stop with just a few inches. This is the third time it has happened. If I slowly apply pressure to the peddle it stops normally. After replacing brake pads, rotors, and bleeding all 4 lines multiple times it hasn't helped and this past Sunday 1-6-2019 was a very close call. I researched the issue online and came across 42 other complaints of the same thing on another site.

On 4 occasions, while in motion (3 times while coming down a hill and hitting a speed bump in apartment complex and 1 time on the interstate after hitting a small pot hole in a construction site) I hit the brakes and after hitting the "bumps" my brakes "went out" for about 20 feet where the brake pedal floored and didn't decrease the speed of the vehicle at all. When the brakes start working again, my car begins to skid forward until I let go of my brake pedal. The pedal feels like the abs kicks in. In addition, over the past 6 months, roughly, my brakes have become very "soft", requiring alot more pressure to stop my vehicle. I just had my brake pads and rotors replaced and that did not correct the problem at all. Nothing else was said to be wrong with my brakes during the service appointment.

Mushy brakes both while stationary and in motion ~ twice in 2016. Front and rear brake pads were replaced on 01/18/2016. Abs control module was replaced on 12/23/2016.
I drive a 2007 Mercury Milan, and I experienced a low brake pedal after an abs event. I was travelling at 25 mph and was approaching a traffic light that was changing to red. I applied the brakes to stop and slid on a patch of ice. My abs kicked in and immediately afterwards my brake pedal fell to the floor. I was able to continue driving, however, I felt very unsafe. When pressing the brake pedal there was a split second of pressure and then the pedal would fall to the floor. I was able to stop, however, my stopping distance increased greatly. I was able to get where I was going but I parked the car after and refused to drive it. This same thing happened to me about a year ago, but after a day the pedal came back and seemed to be operating correctly. I had a brake maintenance done, and everything looked fine. I assumed maybe it was a fluke. Since that time I have replaced all pads and rotors, so when this event happened again I knew it had to be something else. I looked around a little bit and it appears I am not the only one having this issue. I had the abs pump replaced about a week ago, and so far it seems to be working. The mechanic that replaced the pump made the car go into an abs event and the brake pedal stayed stiff. I do not know if this is the fix or not, but it brought my brake pedal back for the time being. I sincerely hope NHTSA investigates. Finding yourself with a low brake pedal is terrifying, especially in winter.
When I pressed on the brake to stop there was a cracking sound then the brake pedal went to the floor. When I drove forward and pumped the brakes they were almost normal. Had a mechanic check it out and brakes were normal to him. Did it three more times. We had pads routers and one galiper on the back tires replaced. Also bled all 4 brakes. Was ok for a few days but started again. This happened on the highway and on country roads. Also had the tires rebalanced and aligned but nothing changed. I'm afraid to drive it.

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!!!.
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.
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 ##.
