SERVICE BRAKES
DURING A WINTERY MORNING I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WENT OFF. BRAKING WAS ONLY NORMAL NOT URGENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AFTERWARDS THE BREAK PEDAL TRAVEL HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AND HAVE BECOME SPONGY. BRAKING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. SAFETY IS A BIG ISSUE HERE BECAUSE AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY BECOMING A TYPICAL ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS THIS CAR OR A FORD FUSION. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM AND SURE ENOUGH I BELIEVE THEY ARE CORRECT. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND PARTS AND LABOR COME TO ABOUT $1,700.00!!! THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL AND IF IT DOES A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BECAUSE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON SLUSHY/SLIPPERY ROADS OUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED. AFTER THAT OUR BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT. IT WENT OVER HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE WE COULD FEEL ANY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSED OUR BRAKING DISTANCE TO INCREASE EVERY TIME WE APPLIED THE BRAKES. WE HAD THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT REPLACED ON/ ABOUT JANUARY 11,2019. ON APPROXIMATELY JANUARY 29TH, 2019 WE AGAIN HAD AN ISSUE ON SNOWY/SLUSHY ROADS. WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT THE BRAKES ARE AGAIN SOFT AND STOPPING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THIS PART ONLY TO HAVE IT GO BAD WITHIN A MONTH. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR THIS PART WHY ISN'T FORD BEING MADE TO TAKE CARE OF IT? IF, AS THEY SAY, THE NEWER PARTS ARE MADE OF A DIFFERENT MATERIAL OR ARE COATED DIFFERENTLY THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING THE PART FOR CARS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER DOCUMENTATION FROM US PLEASE CONTACT US.

STEERING
I WAS TAKING ON OFF-RAMP FROM THE FREEWAY AND MID-TURN MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND IT FELT LIKE THE WHEEL LOCKED UP. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND STOP BEFORE GOING OFF OF THE ROADWAY. DASH INDICATOR MESSAGES DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION AND COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A CRASH AS IT HAPPENED MID-TURN WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THE 2011 MERCURY MILAN AND FORD FUSIONS HAVE BOTH BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE FAILURE. MY 2010 MILAN USES THE EXACT SAME ASSEMBLY AND THE REPAIR COST IS SIGNIFICANT AS I'VE RECEIVED QUOTES RANGING FROM $1600-2100. MY 2010 MILAN HAS LESS THAN 63,000 MILES AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO EXPECT THE OWNER TO PAY THESE REPAIR COSTS ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. PLEASE REVIEW THE PROBLEM AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010 MODELS WHICH AT THIS POINT WOULD ALLOW ME TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COSTS OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THIS CREATES A SIGNIFICANT HARDSHIP ON MY FAMILY AS WELL AS ANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THE 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS. IN TALKING WITH FORD CORPORATE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA MUST ISSUE THE RECALL, NOT FORD THEMSELVES. I AM SICKENED BY THIS PROBLEM AND CAN ONLY HOPE THE NHTSA WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER MY VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WENT THRU A RED LIGHT. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ABS PUMP/MODULE. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET AND FORTUNATELY DIDN'T HIT A CAR AT THE INTERSECTION WHEN I WENT THRU THE RED LIGHT. I WAS TOLD TO GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE DEFECT CONFIRMED. I CALLED THE CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT $129 TO DO DIAGNOSTICS TO CONFIRM MY BRAKES AREN'T WORKING BEFORE THEY CAN CONFIRM. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? *LN CONTACT STATED COMPLAINT WAS SENT IN ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN MOST OF THE YEAR.*JB *DT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM PULSE TO THE RECALL.*JB *JS*DT PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN DRIVEN IN SNOWY CONDITIONS.*JB

STEERING
POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2011-2015 FORD FUSION/MERCURY MILAN'S BUT NOT 2010. MY CAR HAD A $10 PART THAT FAILED THAT BROKE MY POWER STEERING THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE MOVING. THAT PUTS MY LIFE AND OTHERS AT RISK IT COST ME $1760 TO REPAIR A $10 PART BECAUSE THE $10 PART WASN'T UNDER RECALL WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHERS.

STEERING
STARTED CAR AND WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON SAYING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". AND STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THE STEERING WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED, AND IT SHOULD BE FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THEIR RECALL. MY MILAN HAS ABOUT 66,000 MILES.

INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE. ONCE VEHICLE IS PULLED OVER TO SAFETY, VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE MAY BE RESTARTED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARS AND THE VEHICLE DRIVES NORMALLY FOR A FEW MORE MILES. THEN, THE ISSUE COMES BACK AGAIN. TO GET ANYWHERE FROM A TO B, THE VEHICLE WILL NEED TO BE PULLED OVER TO SAFETY AND SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED EACH TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS LEAVING MY CHURCH PARKING LOT GOING STRAIGHT UP THE ISLE DOING MAYBE 15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN A CAR BACKED OUT RIGHT IN FROM OF ME. WHEN I SLAMMED MY BRAKES ON THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. I PULLED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP WITH JUST A FEW INCHES. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. IF I SLOWLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDDLE IT STOPS NORMALLY. AFTER REPLACING BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND BLEEDING ALL 4 LINES MULTIPLE TIMES IT HASN'T HELPED AND THIS PAST SUNDAY 1-6-2019 WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS 42 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING ON ANOTHER SITE.

STEERING
2011 MERCURY MILAN WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT AND VEHICLE WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT MOST 2011 MILANS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS FAILURE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I LOOKED UP THE FAILURE AND THE RECALL 15V340000 AND FORD'S 15S34 LISTED THE EXACT FAILURE THAT MY CAR EXPERIENCED. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THE ESTIMATED $2000 REPAIR ON AN ISSUE THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AS BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN.
