When braking to slow down or get to a stop the brake pedal pressed down but the car didn't seem to stop as quick as it should have. A while later, when having to brake quickly, the car hit another vehicle infront of it. The accident took place on a city road. No police report was filed because the other car's bumper had minor damage unlike my car which the front & hood of has substantial damage.the repair estimate for me was about 4K dollars which is higher than I can afford.
I had just dropped my wife off at the door of the high school and went to park the car. As I was pulling into the parking space, I put my foot on the brake. Instead of slowing down to park, the car accelerated as if I had my foot to the floor on the accelerator. It happened so fast. I hit a concrete post. The car was still accelerating after I hit the post until I took my foot off of the brake. I then put my foot back on the brake and shifted the car into reverse. It worked like it should have. Nobody was hurt. The car had almost $3000 worth of damage. This isn't the first time this has happened to us. This is the first time the car was damaged. The other times the car accelerated like this, we thought we were doing something wrong. So we didn't turn it in. We have been driving for at least 25 years and never have had this happen to us before. …
May 16,2020 I notice my breaks stop working.. May 18,2020 I was backing out of a parking space when I notice my breaks weren't working and had got into a car accident which messed my rear bumper and trunk up. I didn't realize my breaks were having issues until May 22,2020 when the car said 'brake fluid levels low' May 23rd,2020 I decided to purchase brake fluid which it still didn't attempt to hold anything. Car started out super loud like my brakes and rotors were going bad, once the brake fluid was in place it stopped the noise but didn't stop the car from saying level is low nor helped the brakes.
Interior door handle will not open vehicle on driver's side door making it impossible to exit vehicle without crawling over console and exiting from passenger seat or opening window to access exterior door handle. This is a safety issue. As the same thing happened to my husband's Ford fusion 2010 hybrid (which cost over $200 to repair at the dealership), I believe there is an issue with the manufacture/design/integrity of parts in these vehicles. In addition, there are numerous complaints on the internet Ford/Mercury forums citing the same problem.

I was driving forward at about 15 MPH on a snow covered road (residential city street). I came upon an uncontrolled intersection when I noticed a car coming from my right side, I then attempted to slow down and stop. While trying to slow down my brake pedal lost all pressure and went to the floor, causing an inability to slow down properly. Resulting in my car hitting the rear driver side of the other car in the middle of the intersection. My brake pedal has lost pressure 3 times previously all in the same winter conditions (snow and icy road) and while trying to slow down. I took my car to 2 different mechanics, with no issues found with the brake system. 1 of the previous times I had to use my emergency brake for the car to stop completely the other 2 times took an extended amount of time for the car to stop. …
Arrived at destination parking lot and driver door handle seemed to snap and unable to open the driver door. Crawled over the center consul to exit the passenger side. Locked car and when I returned I entered the passenger side and crawled over the consul to the driver seat. Once I got home I repeated the same exit process and went around to open the driver door and once opened it did not close. Had to bungie cord the door shut in the garage to turn off the courtesy lights and silence door ajar alarm. Next morning immediately took it to dealer.
