When you release the brake pedal the car doesn't move as if the brakes are still being pressed. When you gently touch the gas pedal you hear a noise and then the car starts moving forward slowly. The car also does this while driving by applying the brakes occasionally when not necessary.

There is currently a recall for ABS but my vehicle is not included although it has the same issues as the other cars that are being recalled.
Extended brake pedal travel several times almost causing accident; previously reported under 11151367. My VIN should be included in recall 19s54 and very surprised it was not included - I am scared to drive my car until corrected - please advise - thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard causing the distance to be extended. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to (bommarito ford located at 675 dunn rd, hazelwood, mo 63042, (314) 895-0600) and was diagnosed. The contact was informed that the hcu valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 87,163.
When pushing on the brake pedal the brakes, at times, do not grab as they are supposed to. I've pushed the pedal to the floor and kept moving. This does not happen all the time, but it is reoccurring. This event has happened to me at lest three times.
Ref to complaints # 11173378, 11301848, 11301849. Update: january 2020 recall # 19v904 was issued in december 2019 for the ABS pump issue. I was notified this month (jan 2020) that fusions, mke's, zepher's and milan's for model years 2006 thru to model year 2010, was issued for vehicles manufactured until july 15th 2009. My 2010 milan was manufactured on 07/24/2009 and is not included in the recall. For most of the last year, I have not let my wife drive this vehicle if there is rain, mist or snow on the roads because of this defective ABS brake system. As you can expect I'm outraged that this could happen.

Immediately after the ABS brake system activated, my brake pedal went to the floor and I went thru a red light. My research indicates that this is a common issue with the ABS pump/module. My vehicle was in motion on a busy street and fortunately didn't hit a car at the intersection, when I went thru the red light. I was told to go to a ford dealership to have the defect confirmed. I called the closest ford dealership and they want $129 to do diagnostics to confirm my brakes aren't working before they can confirm.

I have had 6 accident with this car. I have all the info, reports, tickets, repairs and so on. And the file is about 1/2 and all the maintenance on the upkeep. Please contact me at my e-mail [xxx]. I am really looking for some reimbursement on some of the expenses that has incurred during all this. I am on a fixed income and it was a gift from my mom when she passed away. She wanted me to have a safe car and this car has been nothing but unsafe. Please help me get my monies back. I have called after ever accident and no response, after the second accident I would not take on the expressway and do not exceed over 45. My car always took the most damage because it went under the car. No one ever got hurt. I kept my distance and it still happened. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that after shifting the vehicle from park into drive, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that a bi-directional scan tool was needed to bleed the braking system. Additionally, the brake master cylinder and ABS control module were replaced; however, the repairs did not correct the failure. Lakeland ford (1430 w memorial blvd, lakeland, fl 33815, (863) 682-1100) was contacted, but was uncooperative in getting the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
While my wife was driving the car, brakes felt soft and car wouldn't stop. She was in a residential area at low speeds and was able to coast to a stop. She restarted the car and everything was fine. Ford says it's due to a faulty ABS module which seems to be a known issue, but no safety recall. Issue also affected traction control system and prevented hybrid from staying in EV mode when accelerating at low speeds. Ford charging over $1,200 to replace ABS module.
I was driving and brake pedal started slowly losing pressure I replaced brake calipers and rotors and still have the same problem I believe it is to be the ABS brake system I'm not sure how to go about replacing this or what to do to file for a recall
The brakes are soft. Sometimes I don't know if im going to be able to stop in time. I replaced the master cylinder and bled the brakes and nothing. I googled it and there has been multiple complaints from people with the same year make and model as myself. Driving on the highway the other day I had to make a sudden stop and I just about crashed into the vehicle in front of me. It's not safe.
While in motion, the antilock brakes will randomly lock up, increasing stopping distance significantly enough to cause a car accident
For the past several months, the brake pedal has been intermittently low and now is very low all the time. My understanding is that this is a common problem with the hydraulic ABS valve unit that does not allow full pressure to reach the calipers, resulting in the low pedal. It is not the master cylinder. My research has shown that this is a broad problem with the mercury milan and the ford fusion. This needs to be investigated as a significant safety issue because it is a safety issue. It is a very common problem and can result in a suddenly unexpected increase in stopping distance and result in accidents, injury, and death.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact stated that the vehicle leaked fuel and there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to oxmoor ford lincoln (100 oxmoor ln, louisville, ky 40222, (502) 426-2500) where it was diagnosed that a new fuel tank was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer also found that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. New brakes were installed; however, front brakes were installed instead of rear brakes. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed as it traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the emergency brake had to be engaged to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the master cylinder was replaced, but would not bleed. The vehicle was then towed to knox ford (461 s dixie blvd, radcliff, ky 40160, (888) 433-4805) where the contact was informed that the booster and master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the cost of the repair would not be free of charge. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.
Tl* the contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2010 mercury milan. While driving 30 MPH, the brakes failed to engage when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the driver rear ended another vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.
I was driving in snow and ice going down a hill when my ABS activated. Suddenly the brake pedal hit the floor. Once that happened it took twice as long to stop the vehicle. Brought the vehicle home. Bled the brakes, same thing pedal hit the floor. Changed the ABS hydraulic pump, bled the brakes and used a scan tool to bleed the ABS hydraulic pump. Then rebled the brakes. Same result pedal goes to the floor. Then changed the master cylinder bled the master cylinder and bled the brakes. Same result pedal hits the floor. However this time I have no brakes. I have to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. I have not been able to drive the vehicle on the road in almost 2 months. I have spent almost $1500 dollars and countless hours fixing and researching this issue. I have noted that many others are having similar issues with their milan's and fusions of similar years.

Was leaving my church parking lot going straight up the isle doing maybe 15 miles per hour when a car backed out right in from of me. When I slammed my brakes on the peddle went to the floor with no response. I pulled my emergency brake to stop with just a few inches. This is the third time it has happened. If I slowly apply pressure to the peddle it stops normally. After replacing brake pads, rotors, and bleeding all 4 lines multiple times it hasn't helped and this past sunday 1-6-2019 was a very close call. I researched the issue online and came across 42 other complaints of the same thing on another site.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v046000 (air bags). Montrose ford (3960 medina rd, fairlawn, oh 44333, (330) 666-0711) was unable to determine when the part would become available for an extended period of time. The dealer provided the option of a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was also included in field service action number: 13n03 (electronic throttle body extended coverage). The contact also stated that when the brake pedal was depressed for three days or longer, it became more difficult to stop the vehicle and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact traveled through a red light due to the failure. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in any brake system recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available. *tt
Brake pedal goes to floor randomly. Almost ran 2 stop signs and had accident. Shop says is faulty ABS module due to leaky valves - will cost 1500.00 to repair. 110,000 mi. Why is there no recall on this safety issue from ford?
Brake failure: I was driving on interstate (55 miles per hour), and when traffic stopped, I went to put on brakes and my brakes went straight to the floor!! I kept hitting the brakes and hitting the brakes and they kept going to the floor. It was a blessing that I was able to pull over on the side of the road in the off lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I had to have my vehicle towed to a body shop. I was informed that the master cylinder and some kind of pump (asb pump) or something was bad. I could have run in the back of a vehicle and someone (including myself) could have been injured. I have googled this and there are over 700 complaints on milan brakes. Why isn't there a recall on these? !!
Please investigate the milan / fusion soft braking issue. Without notice on a turn, the brakes go to the floor. This happened in nov. 2017 and july 2018. In nov. 2017 the fluid was flush but it reoccurred. Fortunately, no one was in front of me or there would have been an accident or fatality. The car took an excessive distance to stop. This is a known problem that ford must correct before someone dies.
Faulty ABS pump causes low brake pedal, soft braking. I have almost rear-end vehicles due to the brake pedal going to the floor during normal driving. Seems to be a common fault on these fusions/milans.
I was in motion merging onto a two lane highway. I ran over two consecutive manhole covers while lightly braking to see if it was clear. But when I went to brake because it wasn't clear to merge onto the highway I had barely any brake! Thankfully the car in front of me was able to merge or I would have hit him. After that I had a very soft brake pedal. Left it in a parking lot until after work. So hours later, the brakes seemed fine. But I didn't trust it. Had it towed and ford told me it was the ABS hcu and ecu and that they are known for this problem. Especially after traveling on a rough roadway. I had to go back to the road the next day because I couldn't remember it being a rough road. Then I saw the two consecutive manhole covers. I ran them over in my husbands truck and sure enough, even his truck jolted from them, enough for the ABS to engage. This is a horrible issue and I'm amazed that ford has not made it a recall yet! What will it take!? The repair was quite expensive. And I was out of a car for two whole weeks! It took almost a week for the part to come in. Not sure if that was the dealers bs or ford not having the parts readily available for an issue they already know exists. This has not been my first ford product but it sure may be my last!
Intermittent problem with soft brake pedal that went to floor nearly causing an accident. My mechanic checked the master cylinder and could not pinpoint the problem. Took vehicle today (07-11-2018) to wayne lincoln mercury to determine what is causing my car to keep having this problem. I have lost almost one week of work and the mechanic still has not figured out what is causing my brakes to fail. Unable to bleed the brakes, according to my mechanic. Now waiting on wayne lincoln to figure out what the problem is. Already reported the condition to ford and learned this is a problem that you and ford are already aware of.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercury milan. On several occasions, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the stopping distance was increased. On one occasion, the vehicle drove through an intersection before coming to a stop. The contact, a certified mechanic, diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Brakes failing! Vehicle will stop on initial depression of brake pedal. Condition arises when once at a complete stop after initiating a braking event, if pedal is released and then re-depressed, the pedal will go to the floor and the vehicle will not stop. Condition is intermittent, but guaranteed to happen.
