NHTSA Complaint #11280251 — 2008 MERCURY MILAN

ON OCTOBER 1ST 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT ONTO MY STREET WHEN I FELT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICK IN. WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN I REALIZED I HAD LOST BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ALMOST TO MY HOUSE SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH JUST KNOWING I'D HAVE TO START BRAKING FURTHER AWAY OR USE MY E BRAKE. I HAVE AAA SO THEY CAME AND HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE THEY STATED THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY BLED THE BRAKE LINES AND FLUSHED THEM AND FREED UP BLEEDERS. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AS NORMAL AGAIN. WELL I WAS DRIVING AGAIN YESTERDAY (NOVEMBER 14,2019)ON THE EXACT SAME MAIN ROAD AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT ONTO MY STREET AGAIN AND FELT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICK IN AGAIN AND ONCE SLOWING DOWN THAT THE STOP SIGN NOTICED THE BRAKES HAD GONE AGAIN. I CALLED UP A MECHANIC WHO STATED THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT BECAUSE WITH IT HAPPENING IN THE SAME MANNER IT SOUNDS LIKE A FORD ISSUE AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER A $100 TO JUST LOOK AT IT AND CAN'T GET ME IN FOR 5-6 DAYS. I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AND A RE CALL REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS. IT'S RIDICULOUS HONESTLY.
