What 2007 Mercury Milan owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.
I was sent an IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL April 2021. The problem has never been fixed, and it's been almost a year since it was issued, and no parts are in to fix it?

Two recalls one on drivers air bag. An one on the brakes! Don't want to drive because last time they told me to park it on the passenger air bag. Recall is for the same injury or death! Brakes r having to push all the way to the floor sometimes to stop. Afraid it will one time not stop all together. They tell me they can do nothing because no parts. What's can I do?

Ford just notified me that there is a safety recall notice 21s12 / the federal safety agency recall 21v‑158 for the driver's side airbag. The answer to "what is the risk?" is: "if an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death." and, yet, "ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle..." however, they do not have replacement parts yet for this vehicle at the mechanic shop that I have used for many years! My complaint is that I am now afraid to drive this car, my main source of transportation as a retiree widow. In addition, I am at a loss as to why this airbag was not replaced when the passenger side airbag in these vehicles was replaced back in 2018. I am just lucky that the airbag was not deployed when I had a front end collision in late 2012. I am asking that these parts be made available asap because frankly, I am disappointed in ford's response once again to this very serious situation. There is no longer any excuse for it.
My [xxx] vehicle is under two recall notices. One is for faulty brakes, the other for a faulty driver's side airbag. I believe the federal safety agency needs to carefully consider the consequences of this combination of defects. Right when you need the ABS protection the system could fail potentially causing a crash and airbag deployment. This could kill the driver and others in the car. Unlike the passenger side airbag recall, this deadly combination renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Recommend the federal safety agency order fomoco to provide suitable alternate transportation to affected car owners until recall repairs can be effected. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I noticed this vehicle has four different recalls on it and I want to check and see if it's in the records that the recalls were properly addressed and carried out on this car or if it still hasn't been done yet.
The breaks when stopping the car continue to go ford ward and sometimes when stop you can feel air pushing down like it doses want to stop.
