2008 Mercury MILAN Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1070974
Internal NHTSA #	10594697
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	MERCURY
Model	MILAN
Model Year	2008
File date	23/11/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle went over a slight bump when braking and the abs engaged for a second or two. The brake pedal went to the floor and had to be pumped very hard to get the vehicle to eventually stop. The brake pedal remained very soft and close to the floor thereafter. The brakes would work, but the pedal was not nearly as responsive as before the incident. The dealer found no codes triggered, replaced the rear calipers, added brake fluid and bled the brake system. The pedal was a little more normal and the brakes worked. The same thing happened again about 6 months later. This time the dealer said there was a code triggered that said the abs control unit needed to be replaced at a cost of about $1,200, and the master cylinder may also have to be replaced at a cost of about $350. I did a google search to see if other owners of milan's or tauruses reported similar problems and found many complaints about the same thing. This is a serious and expensive safety defect with these vehicles. Is there any hope the manufacturer will pay for the repairs?
