Description of the problem | I have a mercury mariner hybrid 2006. Coming up to red light and vehicle suddenly had no brakes, the pedal would not push in either. No lights had ever come on and no warning signs were ever received. The car was in great condition and was regularly taken care of and had preventable maintenance. Upon failure to brake i had to maneuver the vehicle in dangerous conditions just to avoid an accident. Lucky for me this time did not result in an accident or injury. After replacing the master brake cylinder (as per ford recommendations) i again had the same problem. This time, narrowly avoiding crashing into my other vehicle which was in my driveway. This was again, without any notice or warnings. Now, by researching online i find that this problem is existing and mercury / ford will do nothing about it because no serious injury has occurred yet? I can't afford to replace the hcu, so i will be trading in for another type of vehicle... Sad to say. I would have stayed a loyal customer, if not for the sour taste in my mouth. |
