I needed my brakes (all 4) done, and noticed when I stepped on my emergency brake the SUV would not stop and barely slowed, after getting it back from dealer which I informed of th e brake, I tested the e brake agiain and all though it now grabbed the car would still move forward in drive with no applied preasur to the gas. I took it back and told them the e brake still did not work right , that it would not pass inspection(keeping the SUV from moving at 1100 rpms). This is what was told to me all Mercury Mountaineers and Ford explorers had this problem with the emergency brake and it can't be helped, he told me he could bring out a brand new one and it would do the same. I asked what about inspection- it won't pass he said bring it to them for inspection and they would pass it . "not good!" what can be done about this? if it is true all suvs explorers and Mountaineers are like this they should be recalled don't you think. ?.

When approaching stop sign, at intersection, vehicle accelerated when brakes were applied, causing a collision with the car in front of mine. The brake pedal was depressed all the way to the floor, and the engine roared as if accelerating. We have had one other similar incident in which the vehicle accelerated while braking. Dealer explained that driver had foot on brake and accelerator at same time. In second incident, I am sure that I had my foot only on the brake. Dealer examined vehicle after each incident and could find nothing wrong.

Consumer was traveling on a road less than 20mph and applied brakes, and vehicle kept on going. Vehicle stopped when she was at bottom of hill. There were no warning signals. This incident happened twice. Dealership was aware of problem.

While parking at a right angle on a steep hill overlooking a busy road, the car almost at a standstill, the driver's foot on the brake, the car engine suddenly started screaming, the gas pedal depressed on its own and the car surged forward over a concrete parking curb and mowed down a tall palm tree. My daughter-in-law would have been killed if not for hitting the tree, as she had already taken off her seatbelt and opened her door - we were so close to a standstill. The tree stopped the car from going over a very steep hill at a high rate of speed onto traffic on the road below. The replacement value of the tree is not yet known. I have since discovered via channel 4 tv in uk, and dateline nbc that this is a known problem with this vehicle and people have been killed, as my daughter-in-law and I would have been if not for the palm tree. I have now had the cruise control disabled on the vehicle so that I can drive it, as I can not ethically trade it in and let someone else buy it when I know it has a problem. I hope that by registering this brief complaint that it will help you to influence Ford Lincoln Mercury to acknowledge the fault recall these vehicles. Thank you.

We have had this vehicle in to two different dealerships at least 6 times for the same problem. They now say that rotors are below specs, and that someone has turned them to get them that way. All brake parts on this vehicle are original and have only been serviced by a registered Mercury dealership. I ahve talked to the Mercury customer assistance department two times also about this problem. We cannot get anywhere but they now say we must rebuild the brake system on the front of this vehicle at our expense. The original problem was a grinding dragging noise from the front that has went on for over 6 months. We are just seeking satisfaction and for Mercury to correct their problem.

At low speeds abs would kick in, and consumer could feel pulse in brake pedal. Mechanic said that rotors rusted and delaminated.

When the brakes were applied pedal became hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has not been able to duplicate or correct the problem.

While driving at 30 mph and applying the brakes, pedal was hard and wouldn't go down. Consumer rear ended another vehicle.

When the brakes were applied the pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has repaired the vehicle three times prior to this incident.

When coming to a stop the brakes resisted, causing the truck to jump the curve. The vehicle has been at the dealer for repair of the brakes.

Brakes: pulled out of driveway under 5mph pedal went to the floor, vehicle would not stop and hit a car. Had vehicle towed to the shop and they can't find any problems. This is the second time has had this problem. Ak.

The truck came to a stop, the owner hit the brakes but the truck kept going, and driver slammed on the brake and hit another car, and went through a stop sign. The engine was racing the entire time with his foot was on the brake.

On four ocassions when brakes were applied they exhibited minimum braking ability/abs did not activate on any occasion.

The brake system has had problems ever since purchase. I am writing this defect report to waht can be done and so other drivers of similar vehicles do not go through the hassles I've bee through. Thank you.

Vehicle driven in forward and comes to a stop (I. E. - at a stop sign, toll booth, or traffic light) will stall/hesitate without warning when attempting to proceed forward again. This has happened multiple times since we purchased the vehicle new. Vehicle was taken to several different dealerships in three states and they say "Ford/Mercury is aware of the problem but at the current time there is no fix. " radio when tuning would not pick up any radiostations due to radio not hooked to antenna. Door molding on drivers side door came loose and prevented the door from being opened more than three inches. Driver was not able to enter drivers side door to drive vehicle. Rear windshield wiper engine burned out and rear wiper did not work. Brake stuck when attempting to place vehicle into gear after initial start of engine.

Owner states that while driving vehicle at 60mph and taking foot of gas the vehicle did not slow down, owner noticed that vehicle was gaining speed while approaching other vehicles. Owner had to use brakes consistently to stop vehicle.

Whe brakes are applied brake pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Consumer has gone through Ford's dispute resolution board.

The problem I,m reporting has happened twice and I refuse to drive vehicle after the last incident . After coming to a stop , the vehicle moves ahead and as hard as you brake the faster it moves . Has almost caused 2 accident the both times its done it . My fears are the dealership (manufacturer ) will not own up to the severity of the problem . Would like to know my legal rights concerning this problem and also report what I believe is a very dangerous situation .
