When I came to an intersection, my anti-lock brakes kicked in and malfunctioned causing the pedal to go to the floor and I lost braking power. I pushed even harder on the pedal and it seemed like I had brakes but no power to the brake system. I shut off the vehicle, pumped the brakes twice and restarted. The pedal went back to normal and I was able to brake fine.
2006 Mercury Milan brakes complaints

Brake pedal goes to floor, extremely unsafe, very poor stopping ability
While driving if the anti lock brake system is activated by a slick road surface, the brake pedal subsequently goes to the floor for several subsequent applications. We normally have to pull over and pump the brakes repeatedly to get the pedal back to normal. The brakes work normally during all other normal use.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercury milan. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when it was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately two years, but the vehicle would eventually stop. The last failure was the worst of them all. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercury milan. While attempting to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floor. The contact mentioned that the brake pedal was very soft when attempting to brake on an uneven road or when braking abruptly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on several occasions where the brakes were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I had to replace the brake booster,cv boots, master cylinder rotors and brakes. All to the tune of 2,000. I had no warning. No lights in the dash came on or anything. I was going down a hill and all of a sudden there were no brakes. I have had cars and drove them for over 200,000 miles and I have never had to replace all this stuff on a car. This mercury has cost me so much money. Its not like its a mercedes or bmw. Nothing on this car is cheap to get fixed. I have replaced the brakes over 20 times and the car is only 6 years old. I see why they stopped making them.
