I lost all braking ability and the pedal goes to the floor. This is a Mercury Mariner Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid issue, it doesn't affect the non-hybrid models. Ford knows about this as there are hundreds and hundreds of complaints online about it and it's a $5000+ fix. I have not been able to drive my Mariner Hybrid since 2018.

2008 mercury mariner. The vehicle sporadically and intermittently brakes while driving and accelerating. This was a reported issue many years ago on these cars but ford never issued a recall even though there are a number of braking issues with this vehicle. This makes the vehicle extremely dangerous to drive if your brakes without warning lock up. I contacted the local dealer and ford corporate and they were of no help. I also filed an incident report with ford corporate #cas31601808.

Driving, coming to a stoplight, the brakes suddenly failed, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Pumping I was able to get just enough brakes to stop before colliding with the car in front of us. The service ABS and emergency brake service warning lights came on after the near collision. I took the car to a ford dealership and was told the hcu unit had failed. This is a $4,000 part that we had already replaced at 76,000 miles,. The new part failed again without warning only 22,000 miles later.

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.

The ABS hydrolic control unit has malfunctioned resulting in faulty brakes and dangerous driving conditions. I have to put the brake pedal to the ground to get any type of braking to be done. This takes extra seconds that could result in an accident if I had to suddenly brake. This seems to be a common problem and many mariners and escapes have identical problems. I would like my VIN to be added to the recall list to have this problem fixed.

Re:the federal safety agency identifier 19v904 ford internal reference number:19s54 although mercury mariners are not listed in this recall, my 2008 mercury mariner has the exact same issue, sticking ABS valve. Ford will not recognize my vehicle as part of this recall. I have had 2 different certified mechanics work on the vehicle and both mechanics have installed new brake boosters, brake pads and master cylinders. The results from their work did not resolve the issue of soft brakes. The problem began when I made an abrupt stop while driving on a city street. The brakes were never fully functional after that. I believe the situation with my mariner is identical to the issue identified in the federal safety agency identifier 19v904. I also believe that mercury mariners should be included in this ford recall.

Abs light ,regen brakes disabled and check brake system message comes on at anytime while driving. Lose braking power, causing driver to push brake very hard to stop and brake pedal sometimes goes to the floor. When car stops sometimes it won't restart for days. It has a new battery. Coolant code comes on also and the car isn't running hot. This is a dangerous problem and needs a recall. Other than that the car runs great.
