SERVICE BRAKES
EXACT SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED IN 2007-2009 MERCURY MILAN. BRAKES ARE SUPER SOFT AFTER I HAD BRAND NEW BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS PUT ON AND HAD THE LINES BLED FOR ANY AIR IN THEM. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THIS ISSUE A FEW TIMES WITH ONE BEING ALMOST DEADLY. I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY 55 MILES AN HOUR ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I TRIED STOPPING AND THE BRAKES BASICALLY GAVE OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH AND ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK FROM IT. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO BE SUPER SOFT AND IT REQUIRES A LOT OF DISTANCE TO MAKE SURE MY CAR STOPS ON STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN TIME. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I BASICALLY CANNOT DRIVE MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE ROAD AND DROVE OVER A POTHOLE. AS I PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL, THE PEDAL VIBRATED AND WENT "SOFT." I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL IN A ABOUT 15-30 MINUTES, BUT AFTER THE THIRD TIME, THE BREAKS STOOD "SOFT."

WELL MINE IS A 2010 AND IT ALSO HAS THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS INSIDE AN ATTACHED GARAGE WITH CHILDREN BUCKLED INTO THEIR CARSEATS. MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT. I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR WAVING BYE TO THE KIDS. WHEN MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR, WE HEARD AN ODD SOUND, THEN SAW SMOKE AND FLAME COMING FROM BETWEEN THE CARSEATS. WE GOT THE KIDS OUT, AND I CALLED 911 WHILE MY HUSBAND POPPED THE TRUNK AND PUT THE GARDEN HOSE ON THE FLAMES. THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS ON FIRE. WHEN FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED, THEY SPRAYED FIRE RETARDANT FOAM ON THE CAR AND PUSHED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE. THE FIRE BURNED THROUGH THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.
