Description of the problem	As reported by several other milan owners , which nhtsa is currently investigating, my brakes are "soft". While in motion and attempting to brake, the petal goes to the floor, leaving me to only hope my car will stop in time to avoid personal or vehicular injury. I am a retired ford engineer and know this is an fmvss, serious violation. I have taken it to three repair shops , including two ford dealers, and each has told me i need a new hydraulic control cylinder which is about a $2000 repair. This repair cost is about half the current value of the vehicle. I am hoping that your investigation will force a recall repair at little or no cost to me. I purchased this vehicle new from ford. Please advise any other actions i need to pursue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
