2008 Mercury Milan Brakes Problems

“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.”

“I applied my brakes to make a turn on an uneven street and next thing you know I have soft brakes and have to pump my breaks 2 or 3 times to stop. This has been an ongoing problem 2016. How many more complaints are needed before there is a recall on the hcu unit that every one keeps mentioning also...when will the passenger air bags come in for repairs”

“I was driving on the highway and had to slam on my brakes to avoid another car that came into my lane improperly. My brakes engage properly at that moment but for the remainder of the thirty minute drive my brakes didn't engage properly. The brake pedal repeatedly went all the way to the floor and would not engage correctly.”

“After a car pulled out in front of me I was forced to slam on my brakes. After this incident, during which time ABS did activate, I had very little pedal. I brought my vehicle into a local repair shop and the cause was determined to be (incorrectly) the master cylinder. The brakes were also bled and the ABS system scanned, but the problem persists.”

“Brakes are very spongy in all actions. The brakes have been bled, have new brake pads and there are no leaks in the system. I have read other Mercury milans and ford focus have the same problem, brake pedal going too low to the floor board. I feel that this could develop into a future safety problem. Thank you for your attention in this matter.”
