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.

Abs braking failed when brake pedal was applied vigorously while driving on a city street during slippery conditions. The ABS started to engage, then brake pedal went to the floor and brakes were lost. Repair shop replaced brake master cylinder but then found the ABS module was faulty. There are many reports listing these modules as being a problem

This morning when getting on freeway, ABS was activated due to snowy weather. After this, brakes needed to be pumped several times and the pedal pushed nearly to the floor for car to stop. Made it to work after narrowly escaping several potential accidents and sliding through a red light due to brake failure. Upon leaving work, brakes were still not functioning properly. The failure made it impossible to stop predictably. Once I returned home I decided to google the issue to see if other mercury owners have had this issue. As it turns out, it is a massive problem for so many people. I cannot believe there hasn't been a recall yet. After reading so many accounts of accidents due to this issue I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle. I don't want to start replacing parts only to have the issue continue on as many other people have reported.

Extended braking. Had my ABS hydraulic control unit replaced due to the common braking failure with this model year. Ford dealer replaced the part and about 9months later the part failed again. Both times I was traveling at highway speeds and narrowly avoid wrecking. Replacing the part does not fix the problem.

When stopping on an icy/snow covered city street and the ABS kicks in the brakes either stop working or become soft. In the winter of 2018 the brakes stopped working altogether, I had them serviced and was told the ABS pump did not function properly. I had them serviced again today 2/28/19 and it was the same issue, ABS pump did not function properly.

When I apply my brakes and my ABS kicks in I lose brake pressure and it takes longer to stop the vehicle. The vehicle is in motion in snowy or rainy conditions, this happens only when ABS is engaged. This also happened last year, 2017, I should have reported this last year as well.

I was braking on a slippery road and the ABS activated. The brake pedal then became very soft. If I pump the brakes the pedal then feels normal unitl any subsequent activation of the ABS brakes and the pedal goes to the floor and the car is difficult to stop. The brake fluid level is fine and no brake lights come on - however in a panic stop this could lead to the vehicle not being able to stop.

Last month, in september 2018 I was parking my car, and braking to do so. I went over a small pot hole in the road. Later when I went to drive it the brakes were squishy and went to the floor to stop. This problem seemed to get better, but then last week I had another driver pull in front of me and had to drive off the road to avoid a collision as the brakes did not engage properly. Now they go all the way to the floor to brake. I bought this car used back in june, asked the dealer representative about the brake issues when my airbag was fixed, and he said he knew nothing about it. The vehicle has 33,000 miles on it as the previous owner was an elderly woman. I know this is an ABS issue. My mechanic told me there is an investigation but right now this would cost like 1000$. - and from what I am reading it could just happen again. Please do something.
