I WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, AND WHEN WAS NEARING A STOP SIGN I PRESSED THE BRAKE. IT STARTED OUT TIGHT, THEN SLOWLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD BY A REPAIR SHOP THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, AND IS VERY COMMON IN THIS MODEL.

TAKATA RECALL. DESPITE BEING NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEATH TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THE CASE OF DEPLOYMENT, I AM TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THAT THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME FRAME FOR THEIR AVAILABILITY. SO I AM STUCK DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF TAKATA BOTH IN DESIGN AND IN REMEDIATION OF THEIR GRAVE ERROR. TK HOLDINGS SENT ME A POSTCARD URGING THAT I GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED AS TAKATA HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ACTUAL WAY TO DO SO. SO I CONTINUE TO BE STUCK DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO MANUFACTURER NEGLIGENCE.

SERVICE BRAKES
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 ##
