TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL

"TAKATA RECALL" CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.

ON 02-09-2017 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT TO TURN RIGHT ON A TWO LANE RURAL HIGHWAY THAT HAS THE MAX SPEED OF 55 IS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS PULSATING AND SPONGY AND THEN IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARDER TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO THE INTERSECTION. I TRIED PUMPING IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD BRING THE PEDAL BAKE UP BUT IT NEVER DID. AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STAYED THAT WAY UNTIL I GOT IT HOME. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OF ANY KIND FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD PEOPLE COME IN BEFORE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING FORWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD (RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET). I CAME UPON AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION WHEN I NOTICED A CAR COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE, I THEN ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. RESULTING IN MY CAR HITTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS LOST PRESSURE 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY ALL IN THE SAME WINTER CONDITIONS (SNOW AND ICY ROAD) AND WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, WITH NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. 1 OF THE PREVIOUS TIMES I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR THE CAR TO STOP COMPLETELY THE OTHER 2 TIMES TOOK AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP. WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE I IMMEDIATELY PARK MY CAR, THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS IF NOT LONGER.

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.

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDDLE WILL GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE PEDDLE GOES SOFT AND GOES TO FLOOR AFTER THE ABS HAS BEEN USED. PEDDLE HAS TO BE PUMP UP TO GET BRAKING BACK. DOES NOT CORRECTS PROBLEM FOR IT WILL REOCCUR IN A FEW DAYS. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE NOTICED WHILE BREAKING THE PEDAL GOES SOFT. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS WE CHECK BREAK FLUID LEVEL WHICH IS ALWAYS GOOD. WHEN HEARING ABOUT THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS A DEFECT WITH THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM.

AFTER ABS ENGAGED, BRAKE PEDAL SUNK TO FLOOR ON SUBSEQUENT STOPS. FOUND CAUSE ON INTERNET. CONCENSUS WAS THAT THERE IS A DEFECTIVE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS IS A BIG TIME SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER WANTS 1,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. FORD SHOULD COVER THIS REPAIR AS A RECALL.

TWO OCCURRENCES OF FAILED BRAKES. THE FIRST OCCURRED IN A HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION ZONE GOING OVER THE ROUGH ROAD. VEHICLES IN FRONT HAD BEGUN TO SLOW IN FRONT OF ME, REQUIRING THE BRAKES TO BE APPLIED. AFTER AN ESTIMATED HALF SECOND OF INITIAL BRAKING, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND LOST NEARLY ALL BREAKING CAPACITY. AFTER LETTING OFF THE PEDAL AND REAPPLYING SEVERAL TIMES THE BRAKES RECOVERED ENOUGH TO SLOW THE CAR. ESTIMATED SPEED AT TIME OF INITIAL BREAKING WAS 50-55 MPH. THEY DID NOT FULLY RECOVER TO FULL CAPACITY UNTIL A SEVERAL MORE BREAKING CYCLES. THE SECOND OCCURRED WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROUGH TURN LANE ADJACENT TO THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH. AFTER A MOMENT OF INITIAL BRAKING, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HAD ZERO BRAKING CAPACITY. THE CAR CONTINUED TO COAST AS I WAS APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT CAUSED THE CAR TO RUN THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 55-60 MILES AN HOUR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALER, DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.

I DRIVE A 2007 MERCURY MILAN, AND I EXPERIENCED A LOW BRAKE PEDAL AFTER AN ABS EVENT. I WAS TRAVELING 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. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION, THE CAR HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING SOFT AND HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP WITHOUT ADDITIONAL EFFORT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT SAID TO FIND A SPOT TO GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED AND FORCE A RAPID BRAKING SITUATION TO GET THE STUCK SPOOL VALVES IN THE ABS UNIT TO RELEASE. I DID THIS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I DID THIS SO THAT THE CAR COULD BE FUNCTIONAL BEFORE GOING TO THE COLLISION SHOP FOR REPAIRS. AT THE COLLISION SHOP, I ASKED FOR THE CARS BRAKE SYSTEM TO BE INSPECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS ABS UNITS ISSUES, AND EVEN BROUGHT IN A COPY OF THE ONLINE RESEARCH I HAD DONE. THE FORD DEALER THAT DID THE COLLISION REPAIR DID NOT FIND ANY BRAKE ISSUE TO CORRECT. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER WITH A RECENT SNOWFALL THAT HAD LEFT OUR AREA ICY, THE CAR'S ABS UNIT WAS CALLED ON FOR A SLIP CONDITION WHILE STOPPING. MY DAUGHTER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS EVENT WHEN IT OCCURRED, AND I TOLD HER I WOULD BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT INSPECTED IT. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN, THE CAR WAS AGAIN FINE. I AM WANTING THIS ISSUE TO BE PUSHED FORWARD TO FORCE FORD TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIR THE CAR, SINCE IT HAS SHOW TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES OF WHAT I WOULD CALL BRAKE FAILURE.

NOW SINCE YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG ON 2007 MERCURY MILAN NOW I WANT TO DRIVE SAFE SO ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME MONEY THAT I'VE SPENT ON MY 2007 MERCURY MILAN TO GET A VEHICLE THAT HAS NO RECALL SO I CAN DRIVE SAFE TODAY CUZ I'VE HAD AT 4 TIMES A VERY CLOSE CALL AN HEAD-ON COLLISION NOW I WANT SOME ANSWERS TODAY CUZ I WANT TO DRIVE SAFE TODAY OK MY FRIENDS I'LL BE WAITING.

IN TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD ON SLIPPERY SURFACES. BOTH TIMES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AND STOPPED ME, BUT IN EACH CASE THE NEXT TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT SOFT, NEARLY TOUCHED THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKING WAS LESS EFFECTIVE. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON A STREET.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP ON A CITY STREET, AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR REQUIRING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. EVEN DOING THIS, WE WOUND UP IN AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED. I HAVE A SERVICE ORDER FROM THE PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP DESCRIBING WHAT WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM.

BREAK PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY WITH VERY WEAK BRAKES. BELIEVE THIS TO BE ABS PUMP PROBLEM AFTER READING UP WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM (EXCEPT ABS PUMP) THUS FAR AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?

12/9/16 AFTER ABS ACTIVATED ON ICE, THE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW IT TAKES SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BRAKES TO STOP QUICKLY. ALSO, IT CAN START TO ROLL BACK WHEN STARTING THE CAR IF THE BRAKE PETAL ISN'T FIRMLY PRESSED DOWN. CAR AT FORD DEALER NOW. THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WHICH ISN'T BEING MANUFACTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FLOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING COLD TEMPERATURES OR AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

I LOOSE ANTI LOCK BRAKES COMPLETELY/PARTIALLY WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY. THE BRAKES BECOME VERY "LOOSE" MEANING ALL THEY WAY TO THE FLOOR. I NOTICED THIS STARTING LAST YEAR, THEN AGAIN THIS YEAR.

ROADS WERE SNOW COVERED AND WHEN WENT TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE ABS DID NOT KICK IN BUT HAD NO BRAKES. PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES BUT PEDAL WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS AS REPORTED BY MY MOTHER.

EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR, THE FIRST TIME WAS LAST WINTER. IT WAS A LITTLE SLIPPERY ON THE ROADS SO I WAS NOT AT ALL GOING FAST, COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BRAKING, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES KICKED IN, MADE A LITTLE NOISE, I STOPPED AND THEN WENT ON MY WAY. THE NEXT TIME I CAME TO STOP AFTER THAT I COULD BARELY STOP AND HAD TO PRESS MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO DO SO. IT WAS LIKE IT WANTED TO STOP AT THE NORMAL TIME BUT THEN RELEASED A LITTLE TO HAVE MY FOOT GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THEN STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD AUTO PLACE, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE BUT THEY BLEED THE BRAKES AND DID SOMETHING ELSE THAT ACTUALLY FIXED IT. FAST FORWARD TO THIS YEAR DECEMBER, SAME THING, TURNING INTO A STORE PARKING LOT, SO AGAIN GOING SLOW, SLIPPERY OUT, ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICK IN. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED LAST YEAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO PARK I ALMOST CRASHED RIGHT INTO THE FRONT OF THE STORE BECAUSE I WAS NOT PREPARED TO NOT STOP ON TIME. I WAS ABLE TO STOP FINALLY, SCARED TO DEATH. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND TRIED WHAT THEY DID LAST TIME BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. AROUND THIS SAME TIME I CAME ACROSS THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIVE RECALL ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE, FORWARDED IT TO THE LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERSHIP I GOT MY CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD YES THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS AND HAVE HAD TO REPAIR SEVERAL ALREADY THIS WINTER BUT SINCE IT IS NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. IT INVOLVES THE HCI (HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT) AND ECI (ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT). SO NOW I'M STUCK, STILL SCARED UNTIL THIS RECALL HAPPENS OR UNTIL I CAN COME UP WITH THE $900+ THEY SAY IT WILL COST.

WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER BRAKING (LIGHT OR HEAVY) CONDITIONS OVER ROUGH OR UNEVEN SURFACES, SUCH AS A MANHOLE COVER, OR ON SLIPPERY ROADS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS INCREASES THE DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR, HEIGHTENING THE CHANCE OF A CRASH. SPECIFICALLY- THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CIRCUMSTANCES OVER A ROUGH OR SLIPPERY SURFACE AT LESS THAN 30MPH, AT THIS TIME THE ABS ENGAGES (SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATELY/TOO CONSERVATIVE APPLICATION OF ABS), AND IT FEELS AS IF AIR IS INJECTED INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BY THE ABS PUMP AT THIS TIME (NOT 100% SURE IF THAT IS WHAT IS OCCURRING, BUT THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE), AS THE PEDAL WILL BECOME EITHER VERY SOFT (POOR BRAKES WITH HEAVY BIAS FRONT TO BACK THROUGHOUT THE PEDAL TRAVEL) OR GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR (NO BRAKES). IF THE BRAKES ARE PUMPED IN A PANIC MODE RAPID SUCCESSION AFTER THIS "NO BRAKES" CONDITION, THE PEDAL WILL INCREASE IN STIFFNESS SOMEWHAT, BUT STILL ONLY WHAT I WOULD CHARACTERIZE AS 30% BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. BARELY ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP IN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. AFTER THIS ABS PUMP CYCLING, THE PEDAL WILL ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT BRAKING "FEEL" WITH EVERY SINGLE SUBSEQUENT BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION CYCLE. SOMETIMES THE REAR BRAKES ENGAGE FIRST, NOT SLOWING THE CAR SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH W/OUT THE FRONT BRAKES, FORCING INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED, THEN THE FRONT BRAKES ENGAGE SUDDENLY AND UNSETTLE THE CAR. THIS BRAKING CONDITION LASTS INDEFINITELY AFTER THE ABS PUMP CYCLING EVENT. EVEN IF THE BRAKES ARE BLED BY A FORD OR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED MECHANIC, THE CAR IS SUBJECT TO THIS SAME BEHAVIOR UPON THE NEXT CYCLING OF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 201K MILES, AND HAS BEEN EXHIBITING THIS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR SINCE APPROXIMATELY 75K MILES. DATE OCCURRED FIELD ON THIS WEBPAGE IS MOST RECENT TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER MANY YEARS.

TAKATA AIR BAG ON PASSENGER FRONTAL IS DEFECTIVE. WALLACE LINCOLN 5555 S US HWY 1 FT PIERCE FL 34982 PHONE # 772-461-6060 WILL NOT ORDER A AIR BAG FOR MY CAR . I BROUGHT IN THE NOTIFICATION FORD SENT ME AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO HAVE THREE OF THEM FOR THEM TO ORDER A AIR BAG,

WENT OUT TO CAR TO START BEFORE LEAVING TO GO TO WORK NOTICE THAT THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. GOT OUT THE VEHICLE POP THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND SEEN THAT THE BELT HAD COME OFF THE PULLEYS THE BELT IT'S SELF WAS NOT BROKE BUT OF THE PULLEYS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN THIS YEAR THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO THE CAR TO JEFFY LUBE TO HAVE IT LOOK AT BECAUSE THE BELT WAS SQUEALING THEY CHECK IT OUT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOLT HAD BROKE OFF AND HALF OF THE BOLT WAS STILL STUCK IN THE HOLE. I HAD THE BOLT AND PULLEY REPLACE THEN. THE SECOND TIME I HAS SITTING IN MY CAR WITH IT ON IN PARKING LOT AND I HEARD SOMETHING POP I GOT OUT POP THE HOOD AND NOTICE THE BELT WAS OFF THE PULLEY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE PULLEYS WAS NOT FITTING PROPERLY IN THE SPACE WHERE IT BELONGS SO IT WAS LOOSENING ITSELF AND THE PULLEYS WAS COMING A LOOSE FROM ITS POSITION ALLOWING THE BELT TO COME OFF I HAD IT FIX. SO THERE HAS TO BE A DEFAULT PROBLEM WITH THE PULLEY OR BOLT OR THE HOLE THAT THE BOLT GOES IN IF THE BOLT KEEPS BREAKING OFF I'M TIRED OF REPLACING THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE TO PAY FOR TOWING, LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR SHOPS I'M PRETTY SURE THIS TIME IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM I JUST HADN'T HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TODAY YET SINCE IT JUST HAPPEN I SEARCH TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM HADN'T SEEN ONE YET

I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING AND THE ABS ENGAGED. THEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. EVENTUALLY THE BRAKE PEDAL CAME BACK TO NORMAL BUT I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE PEDAL. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED DURING RAIN (NOVEMBER '16) WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. DURING ACTIVATION, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. NEARLY SLID INTO INTERSECTION. FOLLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR, THE PEDAL CONTINUED TO BE SOFT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. HAVE TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES TO IMPROVE THE SOFTNESS, BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP VERY MUCH. TAKING TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY AS CAR HAS BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, IT TRAVELED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A HYDRAULIC PUMP FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) MALFUNCTION. CAR REVS BUT FAILS TO CATCH. CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS CAME ON. ONCE CAR STARTED MOVING PEDOMETER DID NOT WORK. WARRANTY ON THIS PART FOR 2009-2014 MODELS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER ALL MODEL YEARS AS THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM BEFORE ON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE 2009. *TR

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE MANUFACTURER PROMISED TO REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE THE FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG.
