The brake system went completely out. The brake pedal has no pressure and goes all the way to the floor. When looking online there are 197 complaints after reading through the first 9D all of them were about the ABS control module. All other repairs regarding to the brakes have already been made with the problem still not being fixed. there were no warning signs of this happening. The brake switch just went out when driving home one day. This has all been diagnosed by a private mechanic. The only thing left to change or repair is the ABS control module.

When starting to drive 2 days ago multiple braking warnings went off on the vehicle, including Advance Trac warnings. The vehicle became extremely difficult to stop, requiring high pressure on the pedal. It was able to be stopped safely as there was an empty parking lot nearby. It was taken to a Ford Dealership (Tri-County Ford) and diagnosed with a failure of the ABS Control Module. The part was confirmed by the dealer to be the same as in NHTSA recall # 19V904000 (Ford recall 19S54). Repair cost $1220, dealer advised calling Ford. I then called Ford who informed me that my specific VIN was not covered under the recall. There were no issues or warnings prior to this event. The worst part is that this is the second time such an serious incident has occurred with my vehicle which could have harmed or killed me or others. In 2019 the Power Steering failed spontaneously on the car while driving and again, the 2011 Milan Hybrid was covered but not my specific 2010 VIN (I filed a separate NHTSA complaint and sent a letter to Ford yet there were multiple reports prior, and multiple similar reports since then, sadly). I have now experienced two major safety events with the vehicle. Thankfully I was very fortunate to walk away from both (at a combined cost of $3000), yet these should have been corrected by Ford and covered under recalls. I am an emergency medicine physician who takes care of people injured in motor vehicle accidents. Shame on you, Ford and NHTSA for failing to correct either problem and for keeping similarly unsafe and unrepaired cars on the road! Make sure the correct vehicles are covered with these recalls and if not and additional reports come in, it is your duty to expand them to keep the public safe!

I was driving and my Hydrolic control unit failed

- Naugatuck, CT, USA

So my ABS and Traction control lights came on while driving, my steering wheel became stiff, and I had ZERO brakes. I almost hit another vehicle. After being able to pull over and safely park without hurting myself and child or anyone else, I had my husband come get my car. He said that when opening the break fluid cap it was sucked down. It "fixed" itself after the cap was fixed. After a few weeks, my 16 yr old was driving and it happened to her, she pulled over, called me. I came to get her and done what my Husband said, shutting the car off, turn the break fluid cap off see if the rubber part was sucked down, and it was, to push it back up, check fluid, put cap back on, restart car. This happens every 2-3 weeks. Driving down a very steep Canyon in Colorado I feared my breaks going out on me. I looked this issue up and there is a RECALL on 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrids just NOT for particular VIN. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

The brakes failed to stop my car a week ago. A warning brake light appeared at the same time. It happened on a street near my home before I pulled onto the highway. No one was behind me. I shut engine off and when it restarted, I was able to brake, turn around, and return home. I had car towed to repair facility who examined the brakes and determined the brakes needed software update that only Ford could do as per a recall that just appeared. I had the car towed to Ford dealership where it now sits waiting to be worked into their schedule. This had also happened a year prior backing out of my driveway. Repair facility examined the brakes then, but found no issue as brakes began working again. Other than these 2 incidents, the brakes have been operating correctly. The car is available for inspection at Ford dealer in Lenoir City. TN.

Brake failure related to recall 19s54 which my vehicle vin number was not included. All brake warning lights came on and traction control lights came on as well as brake pedal going to floor and unable to stop in time going over railroad tracks. Almost causing me to crash thru railroad crossing gates as train was approaching. I used emergency brake to stop vehicle. Lights remained on and very little brake peddle stoping now. Ford says vehicle is not one of the vin numbers included in recall yet it is the same problem. Car needs to be flushed with dot 4 brake fluid brake fluid cap needs replacing and HUD needs to be replaced for stuck ABS valve.

Tail and brake light for the second time has failed. A safety function of this nature should not be this difficult to fix and replace. The item should be available and affordable. You literally have to take out a lone to get it fixed. So now I can't go to work or anything else with this vehicle. This is supposed to be an affordable car. So the only way for me right now to fix is park it. I hear one person say " well it's not like a wheel falling off " I said tell that to the person behind me. With all these distractions now, between phones and other fancy options on cars. I'm a truck driver so I know how important these warning devices are. It is time to set a new standard in how safety items get replaced availability and cost should never be an issue.!!!!!!!!! With out question.

An ABS warning light appeared on dashboard. When I was slowing to stop, the brake pedal started going to the floorboard. I was able to stop by almost standing on brake pedal. Ford dealership could find nothing. I checked brake fluid, fine. Light on dashboard were out. Was repeating sporadically, took to another mechanic whose assistant almost went through wall of shop. After code said ABS module, replaced. Problem repeated. Currently at another Ford dealership (4weeks waiting on hydrologic control module). Other Mercury Milan Hybrid have been recalled, why not this one?

While braking for bumps and pot holes the brake pedal goes to the floor resulting in no brakes for a few seconds. Brake pedal returns after pumping the brake pad.

- Horatio, AR, USA

At least once a month, when I pull out of my driveway and press the brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor and the car doesn't stop. This happened again on August 3rd, 2021. I have had it to the dealer for this issue and paid to have the ABS valve replaced out of pocket. Ford said the recall "didn't cover my VIN #" and they will not reimburse me. Despite having that part replaced, at significant expense, the issue still happens fairly frequently. Driving the car around the block slowly, repeatedly pumping the brakes, is the only way to temporarily resolve the issue.

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan. There is an open recall on the hydraulic brake system for over a year without a remedy. I am nervous to drive long distances or sell it because of what might happen. There has been no communication from Ford.

At night, as my son was approaching a 4 way stop on a city street in slick, icy conditions, ABS kicked in and locked up and slid through the stop sign. Since that time, the ABS has not worked. The brakes sill work, but you have depress it nearly all the way. Took it to the mechanic last week, and said hcu valve was sticking and not closing. Noted their was a recall on this for early manufactured model NHTSA #19V904.

I don't have brakes and the ABS and brake light is on.

- Stockbridge, GA, USA

My Mercury Milan has 124,000 miles on it and I just experienced the soft brake problem while parking my car in the garage at a slow speed and the pedal went to the floor. Now when I drive the vehicle, the pedal goes almost all the way to the floor to stop now and has not returned to normal. I called Ford direct after contacting my local dealership, and they told me that my car does not fall with in the date range from manufacturing (6 mos) for the Ford issued recall number 19S54. They basically told me this is an owners expense now. Clearly the Bosch hcu parts Ford installs are defective and and they should cover the cost. I just received an estimate of almost a $1000 to replace the hcu and flush the break system. I am at a lost for words in how I feel about this.
