What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2009 mercury milan. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the brakes were spongy, but good. One month later, the failure recurred while driving approximately 35 MPH. As a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. The crash also affected three other vehicles. The driver's side air bag deployed. A police report was filed. The driver sustained injuries that did not require medical attention.
After the anti-locks are used in snow the brake pedal goes almost to the floor. The car will still stop but slowly. To get the braking back to normal I had to brake hard in reverse and forward many times to get the breaking back close to normal. When the anti-locks are used again the same thing happens again. The petal goes back to the floor.
