NHTSA Complaint #11398982 — 2008 MERCURY MARINER

MY VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING, NEEDING THE PEDAL TO BE PRESSED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT STOPPED. I CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T. THE BRAKES PERIODICALLY WOULD WORK PROPERLY, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. I STOPPED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE 2008 MERCURY MILAN WAS RECALLED FOR THIS DEFECT, HOWEVER, MY 2008 MARINER WASN'T ON THE LIST TO BE RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP ADDED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WAS ON BACK ORDER. I STILL DRIVE THE CAR BUT CAUTIOUS WHENEVER I NEED TO BRAKE.
