I have been notified by Ford Motor Company several times about the recalls on my vehicle. One recall is for airbags. I went to the closest dealership new my small town and thought they issued the fix, only to learn later that they just disconnect the airbag light. The second recall is for the brakes, I have been calling since January of 2021 to request a service date only to be told they have no knowledge of the recall. On march 30,2021 I finally got a service date and express to the representative on the phone to assure that she knew it was for the break recall 19S54, she assured me the knew. I took off work that morning for by service appointment only to be told that they did not have the equipment to fix the issue. I was told to call other dealerships and turned away. I called 4 surrounding dealerships with in a 50 mile radius only to be told no one can perform the procedure. I then called ford Customer Relationship Center for assistance. She called one other dealership that said they could not fix the issue as well. April 2020 I receive a letter from Ford Motor Company saying Parts are now available to repair you vehicle. Called dealership 5/17/2021 they still cannot fix issue nor have any information on who can. HELP! Ford Motor Company, How can I get the recalls fix if none of your dealerships in my area are capable of repairing them?

As I was driving my vehicle, there will constantly be a loss of braking pressure in the brake pedal during my daily travels. At times I would hear the air huff as I broke into slowing down my vehicle or having to make a complete stop I would have to switch lanes to decrease my speed if possible or begin to break serval cars away to come to a complete stop because there was a lack of brake pressure . I was only informed of this recall last year in november after driving the vehicle for serval months. After months of contacting serval dealerships and consistently being told that the part was not available. Or being directed to the manufacturer for answers to still to be told to contact the dealers again to no avail there was still no parts made available. It has been a constant worry on the safety of my life and those who enter my vehicle. There has only been one moment while driving my vehicle where I felt immediate danger. While driving on the highway when traffic came to an abrupt stop and the only way I did not crash my vehicle going at 45 MPH was by swerving into the next lane to slow down. This should not be a continuous issue when the safety of not only myself but other drives on the road at at stake.
For several years, I have not been able to trust my brakes. If I hit a bump I will lose my brakes, and have to keep pumping them the get them to stop. If I hit another bump, it seems to put them back to normal. However, over the course of the last 2 years my brakes have gotten steadily worse. At this point, they do not want to stop me at all. 01/19/2021 I almost had a serious accident driving down base (a country road), I was driving around 35 miles an hour but was slowing down because I knew the stop sign was up ahead. I came to the stop sign and had no brakes. A car was coming and I kept pulling the steering wheel to the right and I was finally able to get the car pulled to the side of the road.by a ditch. No one was hurt luckily, but it could have been much worse. My brakes have been recalled, since january of 2020 and I have had problems with them since 2017. But no one could figure out what was going on. I do have the documentation from don meyer ford showing where I took my brakes in explaining that my brakes were bad. They explained to me the cost of getting new brakes but also told me that I would have to pay and then I may get reimbursed or I may not. I do not have that kind of money to pay for new brakes at this time. Not only do I drive this car back and forth to work, I raise my granddaughter who also rides in this car with me. Please see attached invoice from where I had my brakes checked, also first recall date jan 2020 and second recall dated oct 2020. I do have a case # that I filed with ford motor company it is cas-283-77206 and I talked to ron. I called to see if I replaced the brakes would I be reimbursed, and was told probably not. This is my only mode of transportation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also attaching the service billing from where I first told them about my brakes and both recalls

I received a recall notice in january 2000 recall #19s54/the federal safety agency recall 19-904. I have called numerous times to have this recall corrected on my car and I called again this week january 2001and they still do not have the parts to correct the problem, in think this to long they tell me another 3 months before they can fix the problem. They did tell me they could fix it however I would need to pay for it. I feel waiting a year and 3 months to correct this problem is unheard of. I have over $800. That I have already paid to correct the problem. My brake pedal and gas pedal are the same position and need to be very careful driving this car what ever help you can give me is welcomed [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have had the brakes repaired on my daughter's car twice in one year. She can no longer drive the car because the brakes are so bad.

Now inspection is due and I still can not get the brakes fixed in order to get the car inspected and pay for the taxes/registration. What do I do?

I received a safety recall notice (19s54) in january 2020 for my 2008 mercury milan. This notice indicated a potential issue with the brakes on my vehicle. I am experiencing a problem exactly like what is described in the notice, and have been having this issue for a long time (years). The official notice from ford/lincoln indicates "parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020." we are well beyond the end of first quarter 2020, and I have heard nothing further regarding the issue. Our family is less than comfortable continuing to drive the vehicle, so this information is sorely needed. It also reduces the value of my vehicle to have an outstanding recall with no known remedy in sight. I would request the federal safety agency intervene and require ford/lincoln/mercury to provide, at a minimum, an update to customers. If ford is able to continue producing new vehicles and selling them, that is clear evidence that the covid-19 pandemic is not a valid excuse for no action on this issue.
Rec letter january 2020 for vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti lock braking system may be stuck open increasing the risk of a crash. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. I am requesting a rental since it has been over 6 months since I have driven my vehicle.
