This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Milan. The contact stated that she became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the braking system was flushed with DOT 4 fluid, and a new brake fluid reservoir cap was installed; however, the contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but went down to the floorboard and failed to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she engaged the electronic parking brake, and the vehicle stopped. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving, and there was a stopping distance delay. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the brakes were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
The wrench light came on in the car and my OBD sensor will not pick up a code on what it could be. I was driving it yesterday to merge onto a highway when suddenly I couldn’t pass 15 mph and was stuck witch cars beeping and zooming around me. I had to shut the car off wait and turn it back on. The amount of complaints I’ve seen about the same exact issue happening to people in the same exact car is ridiculous to not be a recall. I am almost certain it’s a throttle bottle issue. This needs to be looked into and investigated before ford comes across a lawsuit.
Brakes going to the floor twice, almost unable to stop the second time - almost crashed. This vehicle’s brakes were recalled per Ford. Cleveland Ford dealer in Cleveland TN agreed to fix it, then changed their minds a couple days later and said they weren’t required to fix it because they couldn’t replicate the problem. Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga agreed today to fix it, taking it there tomorrow. We’ll see.
Brake pedal going almost to the floor once, then later did so again and almost didn’t stop, almost crashed.
I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.

We got the recall letter for the 19S54 anti brake Hydrolic Control Unit. We took my 2007 Milan and they did the text and replaced the cap for the brake fluid. They did the test and said it past on June 26, 2021. On July 2, 2021 I had no brakes. I had it towed to the ford dealer in Forest Grove Oregon. The Manager of service Jeff said the hydrolic control unit failed. He let Ford Corporate know and gave him info. He asked for a work order number so he could order the part. Corporate has never gotten back to him. My husband has called corporate 2 times and the 2 different ladies we spoke with said they find it odd that this is being a problem. The second lady we spoke with tried to get us a manager on the line to speak to. None of them answered their phones. She called Jeff at our for dealer and told him she could not get a manager to answer their phones or email. She told us someone would get back to us. The second call was on Aug 12. How do we get this take care of?
The car will lose speed and I have to try to get off the highway with out being slammed by other vehicles it is extremely dangerous and I have seen lots of people are having the same problem PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WE GET KILLED

FORD JUST NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 21S12 / NHTSA RECALL 21V-158 FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. THE ANSWER TO "WHAT IS THE RISK?" IS: "IF AN AIRBAG INFLATOR EXPLODES, SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." AND, YET, "FORD HAS NOT ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE..." HOWEVER, THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS YET FOR THIS VEHICLE AT THE MECHANIC SHOP THAT I HAVE USED FOR MANY YEARS! MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR, MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AS A RETIREE WIDOW. IN ADDITION, I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THIS AIRBAG WAS NOT REPLACED WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THESE VEHICLES WAS REPLACED BACK IN 2018. I AM JUST LUCKY THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED WHEN I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION IN LATE 2012. I AM ASKING THAT THESE PARTS BE MADE AVAILABLE ASAP BECAUSE FRANKLY, I AM DISAPPOINTED IN FORD'S RESPONSE ONCE AGAIN TO THIS VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY EXCUSE FOR IT.

I was sent an IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL April 2021. The problem has never been fixed, and it's been almost a year since it was issued, and no parts are in to fix it?
TWO RECALLS ONE ON DRIVERS AIR BAG. AN ONE ON THE BRAKES! DON'T WANT TO DRIVE BECAUSE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME TO PARK IT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. RECALL IS FOR THE SAME INJURY OR DEATH! BRAKES R HAVING TO PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SOMETIMES TO STOP. AFRAID IT WILL ONE TIME NOT STOP ALL TOGETHER. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE NO PARTS. WHAT'S CAN I DO?
MY [XXX] VEHICLE IS UNDER TWO RECALL NOTICES. ONE IS FOR FAULTY BRAKES, THE OTHER FOR A FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA NEEDS TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS COMBINATION OF DEFECTS. RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED THE ABS PROTECTION THE SYSTEM COULD FAIL POTENTIALLY CAUSING A CRASH AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS COULD KILL THE DRIVER AND OTHERS IN THE CAR. UNLIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL, THIS DEADLY COMBINATION RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. RECOMMEND NHTSA ORDER FOMOCO TO PROVIDE SUITABLE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION TO AFFECTED CAR OWNERS UNTIL RECALL REPAIRS CAN BE EFFECTED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I HAVE TO PRESS MY BRAKES EXCESSIVELY TO GET THEM TO WORK AND THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. RECALL 19S54 WAS ISSUED BACK IN DECEMBER 2019 AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT NOW THERE IS SNOW AND ICE AND MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP.
Rear windshield tint has hundreds of bubbles, making it impossible to see especially when dark. Theres been many instances where I have not been able to use my car when it’s dark because of the danger. And if it’s raining, I have absolutely no visibility. There’s no words to accurately describe how dangerous this is. I can’t back out of anywhere. The pictures will speak for themselves.
