2010 FORD FUSION Service Brakes Problems

Ford claims no recall but my Hydralic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip control unit/module. My petal is sinking. Did an ABS bleed and problem continues. Could this part be in my car and I just haven’t got a recall

I am reporting a serious safety defect in my vehicle. While driving, the power steering suddenly failed without any warning, resulting in complete loss of steering control. At the same time, the brake warning light, ABS light, and traction control light illuminated, suggesting possible failure of critical braking and stability systems. This incident placed my safety and the safety of others at immediate risk, as the vehicle could not be steered properly and essential safety features may have been disabled. The problem persists, as the vehicle continues to have no functioning power steering and the warning lights remain on. The defective components are available for inspection, and the issue has been reproduced consistently since the initial failure. Given the severity of this malfunction and the danger it poses, I am requesting that a recall be issued to address this defect.

Unintended acceleration event. Entered vehicle, put my foot on the brake, cranked it, held in that position while seatbelting. Engine had a VERY loud revving sound. Within seconds vehicle moving backwards on its own. Foot still on the brake, had not touched gas pedal, had not touched gear shifter, and was still sitting straight forward with my foot on the brake and confirmed gear shifter in park. The car quickly accelerated backwards faster and brake pedal had no effect on stopping or slowing vehicle. Went approx. 30’ across parking lot and only stopped because we hit truck parked behind us. Quickly turned off engine and removed keys. Shifter still shows Park. Careful driver. No history of accidents. I found there were several thousand reported events of unintended acceleration (Ford vehicles 2002 to 2010). Ford tried to explain many as driver error or floor mat touching the gas pedal. My mat was clipped down, as designed, with no all-weather mat on top of them, and my foot did not leave the brake pedal. AI says revving as described is "classic behavior of failing Electronic Throttle Body on 2010 Fords", "Surging without touching the pedal and known defect are extremely common". Says if "Worn or failing shifter linkage/bushings vibration form high revving could make it slip into Reverse". Ford has a 19S54 recall for AntiLock Brake Systems (not notified), where "A normally closed valve may be stuck open, which may result in extended brake pedal travel". Ford reports on similar vehicles "lunging" was due to deposits in the throttle body. Ford has installed brake override on vehicles after 2010 but that doesn't protect people driving older vehicles. Please look at combo of factors that could cause this. Disappointed to read Ford purged customer acceleration reports prior to hold 5 yrs and an expert they provided at trial was someone sheltered from all research Ford had on this issue so he pushed "driver error" as the case. Clearly not here.

When Applying Brakes the Brake Pedal application of Foot Pressure Travels to the Floor before Slowing the Vehicle. Can the Manufacturer Repair this Safety Problem emmediately ?

So this has happened three times in the span of a year. When applying the brakes the brake pedal it would go to the floor and several dash lights would come on(service advance trac, wrench light, abs light and parking brake light). As this would happen, we would pull off as safely and quickly as possible and shut the car off. But once we start the car again, everything is fine. When this situation happens, there is a very very high possibility of hitting someone. With doing research and talking to a local mechanic. It is doing the exact same thing as the Safety Recall 19S54 Certain 2006-2010 Model Year Fusion/Milan/MKZ/Zephyr Vehicles Equipped with Anti-brakes. HCU failure. But running my VIN it does not show it being recalled but my vehicle is a 2010 Fusion hybrid.

Brake pedal goes to floor and stopping time is poor. Brake inspection leads to fault as possibly master cylinder or HCU. Master cylinder replaced and issue not resolved. The date range and manufacturing location matches NHTSA recall 19V904000 related to HCU valve issue but my VIN is not indicated. The vehicle is from the Hermosillo plant inside the date ranges indicated.

Was driving down parkway when came up on my exit it was hard to make the turn to even go up. The exit ramp the power steering light and the advanced track light and brake system. Light all came on flashing across the message screen one after another. Thank god I was able to get vehicle pulled over to shoulder and had it towed home. Also needs airbags replaced due to recall! I have contacted two local Ford dealers trying to get an appointment. Also messaged one through their website. On the phone calls I was placed on hold until the phone to shut off. Tried to call back and they just said please hold and put me right back on hold and I’ve never received a message back.

On [XXX] when leaving a shopping center parking lot, the brake system suddenly failed. I was able to press hard on the foot brake to stop the vehicle near the middle of the intersection. I pulled over to a parking space and replicated the issue. The car was towed to West 40 Auto Care on 284 Montvue Lane in Frederick, MD. Today, they told me they could not fix the issue. I made an appointment with the Ford Motor Company on 1 Waverly Drive for 9/15. I drove the car home slowly (about 1 mile) with the emergency lights on and going about 10 mph. Pressing hard on the foot brake will slowly stop the car. ABS icon and Service Advance Trac appear on the dashboard. Yesterday, the brake and wrench lights were also on. The footbrake does not go all the way to the floor. This issue is of course dangerous and might have caused an issue if I had to brake suddenly on a busy road at a higher speed. The issue appears to correspond with the link at [XXX] and summarized at [XXX] . I did not previously receive a recall issue in 2020.

ABS control module valves stuck open and or closed. Leading to no brakes/ brake pressure. Same issue and part that was recalled on 2006-2009.5 models. Issue has been inspected by Ford dealership in Tigard Oregon (Landmark Ford/Lincoln). Part was removed and sent to a 3rd party shop to be rebuilt per Landmark Ford and was unable to do so. There was 2 or 3 dash lights that came on along with no brakes. The issue first happened [XXX]. Dealership told me they had another vehicle in the shop at the same time with the same issue. Luckily the issue presented itself the morning of [XXX] as my wife was attempting to back out of her parking spot. She was able to pull the e-brake before the car got away from her.

There is a recall date on this car dating back 2021. I bought this car in 2024. The recall problems was never addressed or fixed. This had created an electrical error in the car, given no airbags, and windows do not roll, nor does it give accurate reads on tire pressure. Unbeknownst of all this, a tire popped nearly cause me to wreck on I-5 early 2024. I have documentation supporting the sale of the car, the replacement of tires, oil changes, repairs & towing incurred all on behalf of this car. I would not have bought it knowing there was a recall that was not addressed. This car is a rebuilt title that has been in accidents.

Hydrologic control and abs unit failed. Ford addressed the issue but did NOT include ever vin that was affected. Almost got into an accident and crashed when my brakes completely failed from a defective part. The problem has been confirmed by a independent service, no warning light or messages. Many other people with this issue that were not covered by the lackluster recall.

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion. Two days ago I was backing out of the parking lot and I had to brake hard to avoid a fast moving car zooming past behind me. After that I noticed the brake was very mushy and I have to press the brake almost to the floor to get the car to stop. I did some research on the internet and found out it was a common problem with Ford fusion between 2006 and 2010 and there is a safety recall 19S54 for the 2006-2010 Ford Fusion. Ford also has an internal Customer Satisfaction program 21N11 that covers the repair of the said issue. However, the recall only covers cars manufactured between February 22, 2006 through July 15, 2009 and my car was manufactured in Dec 2009 and was not included on the recall list. Obviously the problem was not fixed for Ford Fusion manufactured after the 7/15/2009. I have seen many similar complaints on the net and some have indicated that they have filed NHSTA complaints for the same issue. I contacted Ford and see if they will fix the problem with my car as a goodwill gesture even though my car was not on the recall list. They absolutely refused to take responsibility. I think it is a serious, serious safety issue for the driving public and Ford should be told to extend the 19S54 recall cut off date to cover any vehicle that experienced this ABS/HCU braking problem and fix this manufacturing defect.

My brakes failed but I had them changed twice and that wasn’t the problem I had the cylinder change and still no brakes when I bought it it had some issues with the brakes going to the floor

Unknown, I was driving in my wheel stop moving , it’s saying now power steering wheel, for my breaks, it keep saying check brake system

I got a letter from ford awhile ago about my brakes. I brought it in then they stated I was fine. But you have to push my brake peddle all the way to the floor of the car to make my vehicle stop. I feel this is VERY UNSAFE for me and my family, And also others around me if something where to happen do to this problem. We have done multiply things to try to correct the problem with no luck.

While merging onto the interstate the brakes abruptly failed. They didn't respond at all then responded weakly with several attempts. The mechanic said the abs failed.

Brake pedal suddenly got "soft" - pedal has to be pressed further before braking begins and requires more pressure for the same amount of braking prior to the issue. Mechanic replaced brake pads and rotors and master cylinder. This did not correct the problem. Rear brake pads/rotors are wearing abnormally fast. Symptoms are consistent with malfunction of the hydraulic control unit for which there is a recall from Ford Motor Company. Although this vehicle model year (2010) is included in the recall period, my VIN number is not included. There are numerous anecdotal stories on search results for this problem where many Ford Fusion owners have the same problem and also are not included in the recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal, the pedal felt soft and extended to the floorboard. The brake pedal was pressed multiple times to stop the vehicle. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced that same failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 175,000.

abs brake system service and advance tract system fault codes/ sign shown on the dash. i was driving 40 mph at the brake peddle had no fed back or pressure and the peddle went to the floor i had to use low gear and E-brake to stop. the vehicle is currently in the auto shop waiting to be worked on.

On [XXX] my car exhibited a problem where the brake pedal was mushy and had to be pushed half way down to stop the vehicle. It felt very unsafe as it happened suddenly and stayed like that. Since I felt unsafe, I took it to my nearest mechanic local shop. He told me that it can be a Master Cylinder issue first and then the HCL. I looked online and found an old recall on Ford fusions 2006-2010 model with recall number 19S54 (DOT Brake Fluid and Anti-Lock Brake System Function). I checked my VIN and there was no recall for my vehicle. It was strange since my vehicle build day was very close to the date mentioned on the recall. On 12/4/2024 at 7:45 AM PST (10:45 EST), I called Ford Dealer (Colley Ford Service) and described the issue and told them about the recall. They did some research and told me my vehicle is NOT covered. On 12/4/2024 at 8:00 and 8:30 AM PST (11:30 EST), I called the customer relations at Ford. They provided the same response and told me that no recall is on my vehicle based on my VIN. That was a bit frustrating given that my vehicle was showing very similar issue and as safety concern. I also discussed this recall with my mechanic. I told my mechanic to go ahead with the repairs he believes is appropriate for my car to ensure my safety. My mechanic inspected it and told me that its either a Master Cylinder problem or the Hydraulic Brake Control Unit (HCU) or both. He first changed the Master Cylinder and flushed Brakes with DOT 4 Ford recommended. That did not fix the issue. Next, he changed the HCU and that fixed the problem. To me, this indicates that with high probability, my vehicle exhibited same problem as what it was shown within the recall notice. I need this to be investigated and I need Ford to be accountable for this issue and pay for my repair expenses as my car has a very close build date and is from the same plant and is a Fusion. I have uploaded a picture of the bill I paid the recall sample. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC

Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. Very soft. Needs new abs module but this vin is not affected by the recall. Should be included. I have another 2010 fusion that had the same issue and ford fixed it with the recall. Recall needs to be expanded

As I was driving the vehicle, my ABS and all other brake service lights came on. I stopped driving the car except to take it to the dealership to be assessed and repaired. I had to have a new HCU and ABS module installed as well as brake fluid flush. After driving it off the lot I realized I had to push the brakes all the way to floor and it was still slow to stop. I took it back to the dealership and they bled the brakes again. It still doesn't brake as well as it did before incident. I had these repairs performed in Jan 2024 and recently found out that in April 2021 there was a recall for this same exact problem. I was never notified by mail as I usually am for recalls. I paid for these repairs out of pocket and believe this should have been covered under the recall from 2021. I feel this could've turned out much worse if I had continued driving the car. I would like this to be further investigated as to whether this falls under the recall.

Brake pedal randomly drops to floor, spongy brakes. Took to local dealer. My vin number is NOT part of recall. No parts are available.

Under normal driving conditions, I have experienced extended brake pedal travel while braking, accompanied by the activation of the ABS, brake, and traction control warning lights. This issue has recurred multiple times over the past year while driving at speeds up to 65 mph, typically lasting for several days until the warning lights reset and hydraulic/regenerative braking is restored. The failure of the hydraulic braking system poses a significant threat not only to my safety but also to the safety of everyone on the road. Without reliable brakes, the ability to stop effectively is compromised, increasing the risk of accidents and endangering both myself and others nearby. Most recently, this problem persisted for over two weeks. The vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealership, which determined that the ABS module had failed and required replacement. The vehicle is available for further inspection upon request. This failure of the ABS module could be linked to the same issue previously recalled in the gas model of the Ford Fusion (Ford Motor Company Recall No. 19S54), where the DOT3 brake fluid causes a normally closed valve to remain stuck open in the brake system’s hydraulic control unit (HCU). Alarmingly, the Ford Fusion hybrid model was excluded from this recall, despite exhibiting the same dangerous braking issues. In November 2018, the NHTSA recommended a safety recall for this concern due to its serious nature. Ford’s "Customer Satisfaction Program 21N11" acknowledges the gravity of the situation but excludes hybrid models, placing the financial burden of essential repairs on owners. I urge the NHTSA to take immediate action to address this safety issue for all affected vehicles, including the Ford Fusion hybrid, and implement a recall to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.

I left my driveway and all of a sudden my abs light came on , I can't remember what it said like and system fault.i pulled over stopped turned car off and back on light hasn't come on since. Then weeks later I was driving and had to brake suddenly to avoid an accident and my breaks gave way. I tried pumping them but they went to the floor and stopping took longer. I pulled into a parking lot stopped.i put it in park, shit off then on they worked fine. But Everytime I apply my brakes when going over bumpy rail road crossings my breaks go to the floor and I can barely stop. Even severe bumps in road when I try to stop causes it.it happens Everytime I go over tracks since the first incident to the point I'm now scared of them.I had a mechanic look at it he said my fluid wasn't low,checked the lines n hoses no leaks. He said fluid was a bit odd in color. He then bled my brakes and replaced fluid.they seemed okay then for 2 months everything was fine til I went over railroad tracks and brakes went soft again. Now they feel softer then before at normal stops but no lights and no abs warning light has come on. He is stumped. I bought this car in 2013 but never did receive a recall notice in 2019 for the brakes or hydraulic.i think my car should be included if that is the problem.

Cylinder two the brass fitting came out of the transmission, no power when trying to accelerate, for whatever reason the front driver wheel rubs and messes up the tires, the pcm will throw a wrench symbol from time to time.

When braking, if the ABS is triggered, the brake pedal begins traveling almost to the floor with significantly less braking ability. This seems to align with a known issue (ABS Valve Malfunctions and Stays Open) that has already been recalled in other models.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) malfunctioned causing the brakes to give out while I was driving the vehicle. Luckily I was on a residential street and I was able to safely pull over, but it could have caused a major accident had it not happened in that location. After taking it to two auto-shops, both concluded that it was a problem with the ABS system. There is an open recall for the 2010 Ford Fusion for the same exact issue (Recall number: 19S54), however it does not cover the Hybrid model, even though it is the same exact issue. In order to stop the vehicle, I need to press down on the brake pedal very very hard and use the emergency brake. It is not safe to drive, and it is a substantial and costly problem with the vehicle to repair. I would like my car to be part of that recall program, or at least be able to be recalled for this issue in which there is already an open recall, except not for my specific variety of the 2010 Ford Fusion. I have had to get my car towed several times in order to transport it, as again, it is not safe to drive!

I am experiencing long brake pedal travel similar to recall 19S54, yet my car has not been recalled.

When stepping on the brake pedal, it goes all the way to the floor. I have to pump the brake and then sometimes, it will stop. There were no warning lights. The brakes were replaced but the problem still happened. I had my car towed to the closest Ford dealership. They replaced the Master Cylinder and it still happened. They have now replaced the HCU. My VIN number was not included in the recall NHTSA Campaign #19V904000 which was for EXACTLY what was happening with my car.

Applying brakes on wet pavement. ABS brakes failed. Brake peddle went to floorboard. Braking over uneven surfaces,suchas a speed bump, will also cause ABS to fail, with brake peddle going to the floorboard.

WHEN TRYING TO STOP , EVEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, TAKES A WHILE TO STOP! CONTACTED FORD BEFORE FILING THIS REPORT AND SEARCHING IN INTERNET FOR RECALLS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THERE WAS A REPORT BY CR, THAT ON FORD FUSION MODEL AND FEW OTHER MOTHERS, FORD HAS RECALLED ABOUT 600000 CARS, BUT DIDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH A RECALL CODE FOR A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM VALVE THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY! Summary Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly. BUT EVIDENTLY IT DOESN'T COVER 2010 MODELS, PERHAPS SOMEBODY SHOULD LOOK INTO IT, SINCE THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THANK YOU

Couldn't move steering wheel all of a sudden, drove to store and when I got back in my car, I couldn't turn the wheel and had to get it towed. Nothing happened or changed on the way to the store. When car was first bought, steering would lock up while driving on highway and almost caused accidents multiple times.

there is a recall for 2010 ford fusion for the abs hydraulic control unit release date December 18, 2019 nhtsa campaign number 19v904000 i found this recall after my 2010 ford fusion experienced brake pedal to floor with almost no stopping power. i called the local dealership vogler ford of carbondale il and they told me my vin # is not part of this recall even though im experiencing the exact reason the recall was issued. ford motor company of dearborn they were of no help and was told to contact nhtsa the vehicle is still having the same braking issues

Brakes are spongy and need to be pumped to stop vehicle in a timely manner. Brake fluid flush, brake pads and rotors did not solve the problem. The 2010 Ford Fusion SE has a recall dealing with a similar issue, but my specific VIN is not a part of the mass recall. No warning lamps or messages came on, but the brake pedal almost goes all the way to the floor to stop the vehicle. My safety and another cars safety were at risk because my brakes do not respond quickly enough to come to a complete stop if someone drives out in front of me or if I am simply coming to a stop at a red light or parking. I will be taking my car to the nearest Ford dealership in the next 2 days to have the braking system inspected and confirmed.

Traction control system warning along with notification to check advanced break system. Below is the diagnosis from dealership. This matches with known issue for safety recall 19S54. My car was manufactured approximately 20 days after the window for this recall however it is the exact same issue. Dealer would not repair under recall nor Ford as a goodwill repair. DIAGNOSE AND REPLAC HCUY AND HIDRAULIC MODULE CODE B1342

ABS MODULE IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS HAPPENING TO NOT JUSY MY VEHICLEHOWEVER MANY AS I CAN SEE ONLINE AND WHEN FORD IS TOLD SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT THEY SAY ITS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I ALMOST GOT IBTO A VERY BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE BRAKES WENT TO BEING OK TO SPONGY AND HAD TO PUSH TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THIS CAR. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS OR IT WILL END IN SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OR DYING BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION.

Lug nuts are all stripped or broken. Check engine light, check fuel fill inlet message, poor driving all around, lack of power. Brake calipers broke off and brake pads fell out. Power steering locks up every once in a while

The brakes on my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid, occasionally stop working, and the brake pedal, Has to be pushed harder and further than usual for the brakes to engage. This creates an extremely dangerous situation for anyone driving the vehicle, and any other vehicles sharing the roadway near my vehicle. The vehicle was not involved in an accident, but very easily could’ve been. After the first time this happened, I replaced the brakes on my vehicle, however, that did not fix the issue. Upon further research, I found there was a Ford safety recall (19S54) on 2010 Ford Fusions for this very issue. The problem I am having, is caused by a valve within the brake system's hydraulic control unit sticking open, forcing the driver to push the brake harder and further than usual for the brakes to engage. Ford recalled more than 600,000 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years for the previously mentioned problem under Ford safety recall number 19S54. My vehicle is having the exact issues addressed in Ford safety recall 19S54. For whatever reason, my Ford Fusion is not listed as an eligible vehicle to be fixed under Ford safety. Recall 19S54 even though it falls within the make model and year of vehicles affected under the recall. I’m assuming my vehicle isn’t eligible simply because it may have been manufactured in a different plant than the one listed on the recall? However, I am experiencing the exact same, extremely dangerous, safety issue documented in the recall, and my vehicle otherwise fits within the parameters. This issue has created an extremely dangerous situation for my family, and others on the roadway. I would appreciate your help in getting the issue fixed under Ford safety recall 19S54. I already spoke to Ford customer service, and the representative stated they couldn’t do anything unless NHTSA advised them the issue needed to be taken care of. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Anti-Lock brakes controller failed. Cannot brake without car shaking violently. Causes safety issues with controlling vehicle during stop ABS light came on Manufacturer (Ford) has not been able to get the (chip) for over 1 year

ABS and anti skid light are on and those systems don't function. ABS control module is bad and Ford has a recall on this but the VIN for this vehicle doesn't fall under this recall for the same exact model year and part on other recalled cars. All cars with this issue should fall under this recall.

The brakes are acting in the same manner described in the previous recall issued by this agency. My vehicle was manufactured at the same plant as the previous recall for the same problem. I am at a loss as too what it will take? Will it take more loss of life? Get off your ass and do something!! Thousands of people are experiencing the same problem open your eyes and do something!

There was no incident this happened after. It literally just started a couple months ago out of nowhere. I tried to diagnose it myself. But the code was b-1342-e0 which is an ECU fault. I paid for a diagnostic to find out it was actually the ABS module sending the fault code to ECU. After some research, it appears 2010 fusions had a history of this ABS issue. Not sure why there is no recall, seeing as this could be a life threatening issue.

The Fusion has been worked on twice now replacing cylinders, however it was recently discovered that the issue is with the ABS Hydraulic Control unit. The car's pedal would push almost to the floor making the stopping power hazardous out of nowhere. After research on this unit, it appears it was a recall for many Fusions but not specifically for this mode. I am filing a complaint as it appears our specific model has the same issue but is not covered under the recall. We have spent over $1000 to get this replaced and seeking a refund.

Advance Trac light and brake light came on without any notice and lost ability to brake. Was able to use parking brake to avoid any collisions. There have been 0 issues before this that would have given me any advanced notice of this. After a Google search I found that this is apparently a known and fairly common issue with these cars.

Brakes lose power --- depress all the way and there's no braking power. Almost got into a serious car crash since I literally could not stop (except for using the ebrake). Check engine light is on. This seems to be an incredibly common and dangerous issue with the older Ford Fusions (I have a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid). Only 105k miles. Dealer recommends replacing ABS Module (among other things).

The hydraulic control module/ABS control unit has malfunctioned, causing the brake pedal to become spongy. The pedal is not firm, and I need to press the brake pedal all the way down to get normal braking force. With normal functioning brakes, you press the pedal down 25%; however, I must press down 75% until I even begin feeling the car slow down. There were no warning lights, and this problem has existed for two years. I have replaced the brakes and bled the fluid multiple times, but the problem persists. I have had very close calls with other drivers where I have not had enough time to stop due to having to press the brake pedal all the way down. This problem is constant and occurs whether I drive in the city or on the highway. The city is especially dangerous due to frequently having to stop for traffic signals or suddenly stopping for pedestrians or other vehicles on the roadway. I have not had this issue officially diagnosed by a dealership; however, my vehicle is available for inspection. I have experienced symptoms similar to those of many peers with the same vehicle. My peers have changed the master cylinder, brakes, and flushed brake fluid many times, yet the problem has persisted and has been diagnosed as a hydraulic control module/ABS control unit issue that requires replacing the unit. A recall was issued for select 2010 Ford Fusions regarding this issue; however, after checking on the NHTSA and Ford websites, my vehicle is not eligible for a recall despite experiencing similar issues. I hope by bringing this to your attention there can be a new recall issued to encompass all 2010 Ford fusions and associated models experiencing the same issues, as having functional brakes is extremely important for not only the safety of the vehicle occupants but also for others using the roadway. I hope the NHTSA, in collaboration with Ford, will work in the best interest of the public's safety to swiftly address this issue before any unfortunate accidents occur.

Brakes have same systems as discribed in 19S54 recall but my vehicle is not listed as needing that recall!

I was driving the vehicle and it started beeping. I looked at the dashboard and multiple lights in relation to the brakes were on or flashing such as the brake light, abs, service advancetrac, traction control etc. The main issue was I was driving and the vehicle had some sort of glitch and all the lights for the brake system came on the and vehicles brakes did not work. The brake was soft and if depressed it went down to the floor. Luckily no cars were ahead of me and I was able to pull the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. After researching this, this was an issue for these model vehicles, but I thought this was addressed on my particular vehicle. This is a common issue with these cars and has happened to many of the vehicles as reported on various consumer report and the NHTSA. This issue is documented in the TSB-09-22-11 as well as 19S54 Recall. I shut the car off and turned it back on and the lights went away and it worked. Car was towed the dealer and they were unsure and I also reached out to Ford Motor Co but they were unwilling to help.

Never had issues with my car since I had it. But over the past year the cars brakes, if you keep your foot on the pedal, over time it will slowly go closer to the floor. I could stop, but the brakes felt squishy. Biggest problem though is my brakes were working fine, no warning lights, nothing.. Park car turn it off, go into store, come back out and my brakes are not working. The pedal goes right to floor. I had to use my emergency brake to stop. I took car to shop and they said the ABS control module needs replaced. This is a common issue with the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrids.. But there doesnt seem to be a recall on it. He even said when he checked the information there is a recall on that ABS control unit, but when you call Ford, they say my particular VIN number is not covered. This is nonsense, because I am having the same identical issue with the other Ford fusion and cars that have this same exact part in it. When I went to go pick up my car, now the brakes are working. It makes no sense. Will they go out again on me at any given time? This is a major concern and danger to me and those around me if they go out while I am driving. Please make FORD include this VIN number make and model be recalled for the repair. Thank you

After the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) was engaged, the braking system was spongy, in that the pedal would almost reach the floor before the brakes started working. It has happened several times, but has gotten worse recently, three times in the past six months. One time it happened when I went over a speed bump. I have to be extremely careful when this happens. Once the vehicle sits overnight it seems to clear up. I try not to use the ABS, but it is winter now and this morning someone pulled out in front of me, and I had to use the brakes aggressively. Again, the braking system became spongy. I am hoping by the end of work today it has been remedied for now. After it happens, I am extremely careful about following other cars, for fear of hitting them. It takes longer to stop because of this. I bought the car through the Military overseas program and finding somebody to look at an American car in Korea has been hard. Something is wrong with the ABS.

Hi. I’m the owner of 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. VIN: [XXX] Recently, I almost got crushed while I was driving, because I suddenly could not use brakes…this is happened because of the known ABS issue with this car (I called my mechanic, he diagnosed the issue and it is with ABS Module and it is under a recall and should be fixed by a dealer). However, when I got my car to the dealership, I was surprised that it is not a recall for a Hybrid version of Ford Fusion my year and I have to pay from my own pocket almost $5,000 for part and labor. I do not understand why, it is unfair. This is the known issue for a very long time for so many people. It should be recalled and fixed. You can die while you’re driving!!! Here is one of the topics on a forum about this issue: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Brakes Failing brakes Not yet No No Going over bumps the ABS got actuated and the brake pedal went to the floor, was mushy. There is a recall but our car does not fall under the dates. Our car manufactured 05/10

The vehicle loses all brakes while driving. With multiple warning lights coming on to include brake light, traction control. The problems completely match ford's current recall number 19s54 which this vehicle was not included in. This issue is intermittent.

The component that has failed is the ABS antilock brake pump. Many Ford fusions of the same year (2010) have a recall for this. However, according to my vin, there is no recall. The antilock brake system completely locked up while driving there were no prior incidents. No brake lights no inclination that the antilock brake pump had any issues. When the antilock brake pump stopped working, it almost caused a serious accident. It was as if, though we were hydroplaning we had no control over the Car. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the car went directly into a field. There was myself, my daughter, my son, and a friend four week old baby in the car!! my son is still having nightmares even though this happened a couple weeks ago! He is autistic and eight years old. This is extremely scary. I had absolutely no control over the car The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The problem has been reported to the dealer however, even though I have a 2010 it is not reported for a recall. The vehicle component has been inspected by a licensed mechanic. There were no previous morning signs no dash lights no issue with the ABS system at all. The car has been maintained regularly. The car has not been fixed because we didn’t know what the problem was until last week.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the brakes became inoperable. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Mileage: 160,000

ABS Advancetrac system failure results in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop

Hit pot hole and the brake peddle went most of the way to the floor and never changed. It now has a very low peddle. No brake fluid leaks.

Took my vehicle in on 09/01/2023 for the recall # 19S54 ABS HCU Valve Concern. Prior to this, there were no warning signs and my brakes worked fine. My car failed the test. They replaced the part that was recalled. Since then, my car has no brakes. Brakes go to the floor, making it nearly impossible to stop in time or even in an emergency. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. The dealership has had the car for over two months with no resolution. I need answers.

The brakes quit working without warning. My foot went straight to the floor before engaging any sort of resistance and the emergency brake was needed to bring the car to a complete stop. I’ve checked the VIN lookup, and there IS a recall for this exact same car, same year and everything, but for some reason my VIN isn’t pulling it up.. it matches the recall currently in file for the 2010 ford fusion brake problems. How do we get ford to expand their recall to actually include all defective vehicles??

On August 31, 2023, my car had break services that included all four breaks replaced and serviced at Ford dealer Oxnard, CA. Today, 9/27/23, on the way to the doctor's office on the local street, about half a block's distance to a Stop sign, the Traction Control System light flipped on and the breaks turned loose and started speeding up toward a women pushing a baby carriage crossing the street. The breaks didn't respond so I quickly turned to the turning lane to avoid hitting that woman and baby carriage. What I wanted to know is, normally, when the TCS fails, the car speed would slow down. But in my situation, the car, as if had a mind of its own, speeding up toward that woman crossing the street pushing a baby carriage! Is the speeding caused by the TCS suddenly turning loose while I had my foot on the break, so released its energy, or is the 2010 Ford Fusion can be installed remote control and remotely manipulated by someone with malicious intention to cause injury? Since this type of situation can impact many drivers and could cause serious injuries to drivers and pedestrians, I ask for a investigation into what could have caused this danger, so to prevent it from happening again. Thanks much! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My brake pedal went soft after an ABS event and feels soft, it suddenly did this and I almost crashed. It has happened before, but the brakes went back to normal.

All of the ABS and parking brake lights come on and won't go off. We took it to a Henderson Ford, and they said our Anti-Lock Brake Module failure. They have to order a new part and it will be a long time before to get the part. I heard there was a recall on 2010 ABS Brake system, but when I put in VIN number it says there is no recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. On two separate occasions when we started the vehicle the ABS, traction control, and the brake light warning lights came on. After putting the vehicle in drive and moving forward slowly (less than 10 mph) in a parking lot the dashboard warning lights remained on and the brake pedal was almost completely ineffective when depressed despite being pushed to the floorboard. The vehicle rolled to a stop in one instance and in the other the vehicle was stopped with extreme pressure on the brake and using the emergency brake lever. After the first incident we had the vehicle brakes inspected by an independent mechanic who replaced the brake fluid. After the second incident we brought the vehicle to a Ford dealer who charged $200 to conduct an inspection. This inspection showed the problem to be “code U3000 in the ABS system. Internal failure of the module needs HCU unit and module” repair. Cost estimated to be $4130 and despite this issue being identical to the issue that prompted a recall of other 2010 Fusion Hybrids (NHTSA Campaign ID #19V904000; NHTSA Action #EA18002) the dealer stated that the VIN was not included in the recall and would charge us the full quoted cost to repair an obvious critical, life-threatening safety issue. The failure mileage was 133,700.

Longer than normal brake pedal travel and harder pressure are needed to stop the car. Since it is 122,259 miles, I decided to replace the brakes as a preventative maintenance program. I replaced the rear calipers, all four rotors, all pads, and then had even less brake pedal. I replaced the master cylinder, which still had less brake pedal travel. I towed the car to a local independent mechanic shop, and they also replaced the master cylinder and brake lines, but still no brake pedal. They found evidence of the ABS module being bad and an active warranty for the same year, make, and model and told me to go to the dealer. I called the dealer, and they said there was no recall on my vin, but there is one for other fans of the same year, make, and model. The car will be towed to the Ford dealer, who said they will replace the ABS module, flush the fluid, replace it with a new DOT 4 fluid, and reprogram the controller. They told me to save receipts so that when it gets to be part of the recall, I can try for a refund. Can we do something so that this problem does not kill someone? The brakes go out or fail terribly without warning, and I am thankful I was driving and not my young daughter, who would not have been able to control and stop the car.

I had a short ABS event, as in the ABS system activated for a few seconds while I was driving. About 3-5 minutes later, I arrived at my destination, and turned off the car. 3 minutes later, I started the car & began to drive, and about 200-300 yards later the car made a warning sound and the majority of the warning lights on the dashboard lit up. I gently applied the brake and found it to be "mushy". I ended up having to apply significant force and push the brake nearly to the floor and the car very slowly decelerated. I parked & turned off the car & checked the brake fluid level which was fine. I saw nothing visibly wrong, so I started the car again and the exact same scenario repeated itself. I was able to park the car again & have it towed to a ford service center. They have confirmed that the ABS system has failed. Because this matches the description of the ABS recall for 2010 Ford Fusions, I believe it is the exact same faulty part and that my car should have been part of the recall. I plan to hold on to the component so it will be available for inspection. Of note, this exact same failure happened to my car once before, in 2015. I had an ABS event, then parked briefly, then my brakes failed in exactly the same manner. However after I stopped the car & parked it overnight that time, the car resumed normal operation. The following day, I took the car to the local ford service center who claimed there were no error codes present and that nothing had gone wrong with the car, which was clearly frustrating and false, but I had no recourse as the error did not repeat at that time.

While driving went to stop and brakes did not work. Put the petal to the floor and all the ABS lights came on. Took it to a brake specialist and they said all the components of the brakes are good but something in the electrical or computer system is causing them to not work. There is a recall on this issue on the non hybrid version of this vehicle. The hybrid needs to be inculded.

After a hard braking incident, my cars brakes are spongy and abs doesn't work anymore.

shortly after starting vehicle, all the warning lights pertaining to brakes light up. Brake pedal goes nearly to the floor, and there is a very noticeable loss in braking power. Possibly related to Safety Recall Notice 19S54 / NHTSA Recall 19V-904

When driving my brake system (ABS) lit up on the dash and I had to put additional force on the brakes in order to stop. There was no warning that occurred prior to the dash warning coming on. I took the car to Krieger Ford service department and they could not locate any issue with the brake system. They released the car back to me and it remained parked for 3 days. On the 4th day I tried to drive the car and the same alerts happened again. I took the car back to Ford and later they found that the ABS module and applicable parts had failed. When I asked about the recall, the service center said there were no recalls available for my car.

ABS module. Potential safety risk. Huge lawsuit waiting to happen.

Getting check break system, ABS, and service advancetrak on my dash cluster. No codes thrown with OBD reader. Breaks will not fully apply unless I slam them down to the floorboard. Iv seen recalls on over 600,000 fords. I asked ford about my car and they said my specific vin wasn’t showing any recalls but I know there is a recall for this as there are many claims online. My car is unsafe to drive and I would like to get it fixed under recall so I don’t have to go out of pocket for something that seems like a common Ford fusion hybrid issue.

Intermittent failure of brake system. While driving the brakes stopped working. Needed to push brake pedal to ground and/or use parking brake. Turned off car. Waited 30 seconds. Started car again and brakes worked. Worked fine for ~ 1 week and then occurred again. Worked fine for ~1 year and then period of not working.

Vehicle is not stopping properly. Additional pressure is needed to the brake peddle in addition to pumping the brakes to get it to stop. New brakes and rotors were installed to try and correct the problem but it appears to be related to the NHTSA Campaign 19V904000 ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU). The 2010 Fusion was included in the recall buy my VIN for my 2010 Fusion was not included. This seems to be a common issue based on other reports. The recall needs to be expanded to prevent accidents. This is a major safety concern.

In regards to this particular issue surrounding the 2010 Fusion: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/2010-ford-fusion-abs-module-recalls-explained My VIN: [XXX] The recall involves replacing the hydraulic control unit to fully restore the function of the ABS for Fusion assembled up to July of 2009. Mine has the exact issue specified, assembled in the exact same plant in Mexico, but was confirmed to be assembled in April 2010. Because of this my Fusion was excluded from the benefits of a free recall service, and the dealership was charging me $2,836 for the ABS module, hydraulic control unit & labor combined. I've since already purchased the two parts & I'm waiting on the labor to be conducted. Is there any way you guys can work with Ford to expand the recall? I'd LOVE to be reimbursed for this. It seems like an oversight by Ford, and it seems unfair that I have to drop nearly $3,000 on the exact same issue that's free for so many others. I can't stress enough, the issue mentioned in that article is the exact issue I've had, and it was born out of the same plant. Thank you so much for your time! My phone number is [XXX] if you'd like to speak there; you're always welcome to leave a voice if need be. : ) INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While driving the car the brake system failed to respond adequately....it was very loose and required pushing the breaks to the floor to fully stop the vehicle. upon having it towed to the ford dealer they said it was the Master Cylinder and the Hydraulic Control Unit. I then checked for recalls and found that my make and model year had been recalled for the exact problem, but was told that it was VIN specific and that mine was not impacted. As mine was made in the same plant as those in the recall I believe that the recall should have been more wide spread and clearly other vehicles that were made there are having the exact same problems.

problems with the ABS not working. taken to a mechanic. Brake master cylinder problem and replaced . leaking rear brake fluid. all causing no brakes.

Brake pedal goes to the floor , it doesn't want to stop. If you pump it , the pedal comes up. I had them bled and performed the bleeding prosses with scan tool. They worked good for a day.

The vehicle would randomly loose the ability to stop / brake pedal would loose the ability to control brakes and would go all the way to the floor. After pumping the brakes the vehicle would gain some ability to slow down. Ford Dealer in Gallatin, TN had to replace the brake master cylinder and hydraulic control unit bleed system in order to fix the problem otherwise the car would have been completely unsafe to drive. The scary part was that there were no lights or dash notifications to alert us or the ford dealership that the problem even existed. Also, the car only has 74K miles on it. We put new tires on it last year and got new brake pads the year prior. There seem to be a recall for Ford Fusions for some 2010 models, but ours did not make the list according to the vin number and specs. But I think the problem sounds very similar. Thanks for your help.

On April 1, 2023 me and my family where coming down the mountain when we noticed the brakes where going to the floor . My husband had to pump the brakes in order to have good brakes. This is a safety issue to us and others cause if someone was to slam on brakes we wouldnt have time to stop. Yes it has been inspected I took it to ford place in Mount airy NC on April 11, 2023 and they said HCU failed , it failed at 300,000 miles. No they were no warning lights or anything when this happened and still no lights and still need a HCU in it .

The brakes did not engage until the last inch or so, and that nearly caused a crash. The hydraulics had failed with no warning at all.

Frequent failure of electric brake assist. Failure occurs without any prior warning and despite sufficient brake fluid being in master cylinder reservoir. Alarms and notices appear on the driver display panel as the brakes are failing. Can occur at start up or while actively driving the auto. Occurs across all temperature ranges and weather (moisture) conditions. Adversely affects driver's ability to safely use brakes to stop the car. NHTSA issued safety recall applicable to non-hybrid Ford Fusions for the SAME issue and the SAME model year as my car. Mechanically, the electric brake assist systems are IDNETICAL in non-hybrid and hybrid variants of 2010 Fusion. Attached photo illustrates notices that appear on driver display panel when brakes fail.

At parking lot speed, the brake pedal went nearly to floor during stopping. All lights came on the instrument panel. Required the use of emergency brake to bring the car to a stop.

i have done a brake job recently replacing the rear brakes and repaired master cylinder. Car has been inspected by a mechanic who says they have done everything they could and the brakes are not working properly. The brakes have to be pressed all the way to the floor and will not stop. FSA 19S54 is a recall he says was never done and suggested I go to dealer to have it done; however, when I make the attempt to the dealer says that only the air bag and the throttle are under recalls and that is all they can fix. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL # FSA 19S54 states that in some of the affected vehicles, a chemical reaction between aged DOT 3 brake fluid and the zinc plating inside the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) may result in a gel formation. A normally closed valve may be stuck open, which may result in extended brake pedal travel. This seems to be what is happening. I am taking to San Antonio's Northside Ford as soon as I can to do the airbag recalls(Ford's number for these recall is 21S12, 18S01, 16S26, 18S34, 19S01 & 21S05.) and the throttle ( recalls that Ford told me about. I do not understand why when I Google recall that I see the airbags recall for driver and passenger side and the ABS hydraulic brake recall but do not see the one Ford said about the throttle. At the very least the information could be passed down throughout your system. Other recalls, 11 total, need to be addressed if not already. I happen to know Northside Ford actually attempted to charge me for some of these things as I still have that invoice with the recommendations. the Kelly Blue Book (KBB) link where I received most of my information is https://www.kbb.com/ford/fusion/2010/recall/?vehicleid=248463 My car essentially has no brakes and every possible cause has been addressed with no solution. The mechanic noticed these very important recall have never been addressed with this vehicle. This ABS hydraulic recall MUST be the only factor left.

Loss of braking with out warning Pedal went to floor Qualified mechanic first said it was master cylinder which was replaced but still no brakes googled every one saying same thing its the abs modulator valve Surprised no recall on these for this year model when others have been recalled whats going waiting for people to die driving these things

My brakes went totally out as I was backing out of my driveway and all the abs light lit up. When I tried to press the brakes they went all the way to the floor and barely stopped. Once I turned the car off and on it went away. But a few hours later it came right back I took to the dealership they said the ABS failed. Part has been on back order

The brakes don’t grab. They go almost to the floor and it takes a lot longer to stop. We have owned this car for 10 years and it is a continued problem. We take it to the mechanic and they can’t find anything wrong with it. We tap on the hydraulic brake control unit which makes the brakes work again. We finally found a recall for Ford fusions where the valve inside the hydraulic brake control unit can stick open and cause increased stopping time. Our fusion is a 2010 but does not fall into the criteria for the recall. I think the recall needs to be expanded.

The recalled item that was suppose to have been fixed malfunctioned. The ABS brake modulator had malfunctioned leaving me with pretty much no brakes. One minute I had brakes the next nothing. My car was taken to Monroe the week before for tires. They noticed nothing wrong I had also put new brake pads on. The car should of not had its brakes just go out like it did. Had I been on the highway or driving over 30 i wouldn't of been able to stop. I could of died from a recalled item that was suppose to have been fixed so i would of never ended up in the situation I was in. No brakes barely able to stop going less than 10 miles at a traffic circle. Luckily God was on my side, it wasn't busy at the intersection and I didn't have to stop. If I did I would of smacked right into the other vehicle since I didn't know my brakes weren't working correctly. They where there then nothing. Foot went right down to the floor still barely did anything to stop. Slowed the car down very very minimally. The repair shop was a nightmare. Ford of Greenwiche had my car for over a month. When they said it was fixed it wasn't. We where also charged by them for the replacement of the brake modulator which was a defect by the company that we shouldn't of been charged for. Also numerous things where done wrong by thos company and I feel that no one should ever have to go through what I did with them. The lack of care, putting the repair off, lack of organization, faulty repair-just to name a few. I would like restitution for my time and the cost of the repair for the ABS modulator. The car was taken to Monroe before ford for this problem. My boyfriend who is a licensed mechanic has stated as well that this part should not of malfunctioned this way and it should be covered by recall.

When driving, the ABS failed. The breaks depressed to the floor and the parking break was needed to fully stop the vehicle. The ABS light, track control, and service break lights were illuminated. The car was taken to the dealer and they said that the hydraulic control unit needs to be replaced. While there is a recall for this part for other 2010 ford fusions, my vin number is not covered. A formal complaint was made with Ford but no response has been received. It seems like there are many complaints about the same issue for Fords that are somehow not covered under the recall.

This vehicle has been in our family since new and all recalls and service has been done on schedule. Currently only have 75K miles on it. On January 19, 2023 I was driving the vehicle in question and had a warning pop up saying Check Brake System and Service AdvanceTrac at the same time I lost my brakes and the vehicle lost power but not total power. No warning was given prior to this happening. I was able to stop the vehicle after pushing the brakes all the way to the floor and putting the car in neutral. I was luckily in my neighborhood after driving home in heavy traffic. I was able to get the car to my driveway and after restarting the car the warning went away and my husband drove the vehicle and did not have the issue. I found that Ford had a Customer Service Satisfaction internal recall back in 2010 on this vehicle for the exact same problem. The fix was applied back in 2010. I just recently brought the car in for another recall for a battery firmware update which I believe could have messed with the fix that was applied back in 2010. I called Ford and they stated there was nothing they could do. I can't get into a ford dealership for them to look into this for another 2 weeks. If other vehicles received this same firmware update for the battery they may incur the same issue and someone could be hurt or worse killed if they panic and don't know what to do. I had a hard enough time stopping the vehicle and I knew what to do but luckily I was not in traffic when it happened. I found an article written by Consumer reports back in Feburary 2010 stating the same issue. Vehicle is available for inspection at any time.

I was driving. Went to stop for a stop light. I pushed peddle down. It went down 90% before I had any resistance. With the last 10% I was able to slow the car before a crash. All of the lights on the dashboard turned on, including the brake light. I turned off the car and pulled the key. I put the key in and restarted, while still sitting in the roadway. I was able to drive it less than a mile to the fire dealer. They tell me the ABS module is not working. I see there is a recall on ABS modules for other 2010 ford fusions, but not mine.

While driving at about 15 mph my dashboard ABS system failed light turned on as well as to traction failure and warning brake system maintainace light. I pressed on brake pedal and no braking was felt resulting in the car not stopping. I let it glide till it stopped I turned the car off and on and all the same warning lights were on I pressed on the brake while in drive mode and pedal to floor.

2010 Fusion Hybrid. One owner. The car had multiple warning lights come on, including "Check Brake System" "Service Advancetrac" and "ABS" as brake pedal collapsed to floor while driving in normal highway conditions. This was not an anti-lock brake hard stop incident. it was a normal easy braking situation with no advance warning of brake system failure. Vehicle has always been maintained in correct condition. Have photo of dash lights from incident. Pulled over after near collision, took dash photo, turned car off. Upon restarting, the brake pedal was normal level and firmness again. Carefully drove to nearest repair shop who could not find a cause nor repeat the failure. Local Ford dealer and VIN search indicates this vehicle is NOT covered by 19S54. Nonsense.

ABS module sticking brake pedal soft Must press hard to stop , brake feel like they don’t work ABS Lights come on traction control disengagement Took to mechanic for verification.

After Antilock brake activation the brake peddle fades and have to push brake peddle to floor. Have to push on pedal to get car to stop. It only happens after try to stop on a slippery surface such as ice and snow. Pedal will return back to normal after about 20 or 30 minutes. I feel this is not a safe condition, it could end up with me getting into an accident when the pedal fades to the floor. I did notice that there was a recall for certain 2006-2010 Ford fusions but apparently my vehicle isn’t a part of that. I plan on taking the vehicle to my local dealership to get it repaired. I will also argue my case to the dealership as to that my vehicle should fall within that recall as it is exhibiting the same issues as the recall is stating. This has occurred on multiple occasions and only after my antilock system activated.

Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010 ||| ABS module error. Yes. ||| Total brake failure while driving; car ignored me pushing brake pedal. ||| No. They performed a diagnosis and ran the ABS module through testing software but found nothing wrong. They test drove it and found nothing wrong. ||| Ford service center, yes. Others no. ||| No obvious symptoms occurred prior to the incident. The car did feel like it was responding ever so slightly differently to my braking for a couple months prior to the total brake failure, but it was so slight I thought it was just in my head. There were no warning lights or anything that would lead me to believe that something was wrong with my brakes. ||| FULL INCIDENT: I was leaving a parking lot and drove up a short ramp to merge onto the highway. When I got to the top of the ramp the ramp curved downwards towards the highway, and I pressed on the brakes to stop the car so I could check for traffic. I was at a 90degree angle to the traffic. The car completely ignored me pressing on the brakes and continued to coast towards the highway; which was about 4ft in front of me; and I pressed on the brakes again and nothing happened. I saw a red brake light on my dashboard and heard loud beeping noises from it, I put the car in Park, which stopped the car, then I pulled the E-brake and turned the car off and called for a tow truck. When the car was restarted by the tow truck driver the issue went away. The tow truck driver was able to drive and brake just fine, and there were no warning lights for him. The dealership found nothing wrong with the brakes or ABS module. There is a recall out for the ABS module for the model & year of my car (Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010) for ones made in Mexico. There was no recall for this module performed on my car because it was not made in Mexico, despite having the same reported issue.

Total brake failure, with pedal going to the floor. NHTSA safety recall 19S54 for hydraulic control unit does not apply according to McDavid Ford of Fort Worth because of build date afterward. Recall should be extended since this is a common safety hazard for vehicles built after the recall cutoff of 7-15-09. Very dangerous not to issue a mandatory recall. Also, the air bag replacement has been delayed for probably more than a year. It's time for NHTSA to get serious about addressing these glaring safety problems in the Fusion ASAP. Please do your job.

The car has multiple warning lights come on, including "Check Brake System" "Service Advancetrac" and "ABS". The car still brakes but only with much more force and brakes much more slowly. At first it was intermittent but now is stuck in this form. Ford has done a recall for my model (19S54) but my car was built 5 months after the last ones. It was manufactured in the same factory. Based on research, the fix seems to be replacing the ABS module and flushing out the brake fluid. I hope that the recall will eventually extend to later-built cars like my own.

Brakes stopped working. ABS and Brakes lights flashed on when hitting brake from reversing out of parking spot

Front brake calipers are seizing up and getting so hot they smoke (could potentially cause fire). This heat destroys the brake rotors and pads. The car wobbles when this is occurring. This is the second time in two years the rotors, brakes, calipers and brake lines had to be replaced. Mechanic has replaced all components again and has determined the ABS module is sticking, which will not allow the new brake system fluid to bleed. Mechanic determined the ABS module is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. This car is mostly highway driven.

Power Brake failure. Pedal needs to be pressed to the floor for brakes to engage. Dealer confirmed a Hydraulic Control Unit failure. This is the same problem that resulted in model 2010 Ford Fusion recalls. Ford is stating the recall doesn’t apply to our VIN but its the same issue and they want us to pay $3000 for the repair.

My granddaughter was starting her car and the brake just stuck. It would not go down or move. 2010 ford fusion Hybrid this happen approximately last Wednesday, n November 9, 2022. I have done research and it's a record issue with the ABS SYSTEM failing in the Fusion, plus all the above recalls. Ford want 1800 00 to repair this issue. No crash thankfully.

On my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid the ABS module and brake system warning lights all turned on at once at random, and the brakes stopped working properly. The vehicle is not drivable. I see there has been some recalls for this for 2010 non hybrid fusions, but this is a seriously dangerous issue for the hybrids also!

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be depressed to the floorboard to stop the vehicle, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who indicated that the braking mechanism was faulty and needed to be replaced. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Mileage: 85,000

The brake system failed while vehicle was in operation on a highway travelling at 65 mph. While not completely nonfunctional, all advanced braking features such as ABS and power brakes were immediately disabled and only pressing the brake pedal completely to the floor would slowly bring the vehicle to a stop. Other drivers around my vehicle as well as myself were in danger, as I was at that time suddenly unable to stop the vehicle normally. If a sudden traffic stop were required or a situation requiring ABS encountered, a collision would have been extremely likely. I brought the vehicle to a service center the same day the issue occured. The dealer confirmed that many fault indicators were actively lit on the dashboard, the brakes were not functioning correctly, and error code "U3000" was stored on the vehicle's onboard computer. After performing extensive diagnostics, the dealer recommended that the ABS/Brake Control Valve Module be replaced. I put an order in for the component (part number BE5Z2C219H) on 01JUN2022 but as of 19OCT2022, the part is still not available due to being waitlisted. I was told that I was number 600+ on the list to receive this ($645.25) part as this exact component is currently part of a large recall that the manufacturer says my vehicle doesn't qualify for. As mentioned, there is a recall for my exact vehicle model, year, and plant of manufacture but I am told that my VIN is not in the range covered by this recall--even though it presents the exact symptoms and it seems that the same component has been determined to be at fault. That recall is: 19S54 - Certain 2006-2010 Model Year Fusion/Milan/MKZ/Zephyr Vehicles Equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems - DOT 3 Brake Fluid and Anti-Lock Brake System Function The vehicle is available for inspection anytime as it has been undrivable now for almost 5 months.

After taking my car in for the recall on the Hydraulic system on the brakes which it them for ever to send out the second letter for the repairs. During the waiting period I had to leave the road to keep from hitting someone because of brake failure. I have notify Ford Motor Company of the problem right after they sent the first letter. I had damaged to my car that they refused to help with. They sent me a form to sign that said I would not hold Ford Motor Company responsible or Ford Techs should they damaged the RCM when removing to send to their labs. Which I refused to sign because I did talk to a mechanic that worked Ford motor. He stated that the slight wrong move or bump could damaged the main board and it was an very expensive part. Ford Motor Company resolution to fix the recall problem was to bleed out the DOT 3 brake fluid and replace it with DOT 4. I still have brake issue if I am driving in the rain or hit a bump in the road. Now I am having a problem with brake fluid leaking since they switched the fluid. I am going to have a mechanic check to see were the leak is coming from. We own this car 10 years and was satisfied with the car and kept it when we purchased an SUV. Good motor in the car. After dealing with Ford Motor Company about the accident with my car and the other recalls I regret we did not trade it in, but I would have more regret selling it to someone knowing that it could be a danger to their life as it was mine. Even though the car does have a good motor I will never purchase another Ford or purchase and make of any car from any Ford dealership due to the way Ford Motor Company handle my brake recall that cost me money to have the repairs to my 2010 Ford Fusion.

RE: From my complaint earlier. I took my car to a mechanic to find out why I was losing my brake fluid. The mechanic said the leak was coming from the ABS Box. ( Hydralic) this was the problem Ford Motor Company had a recall for, Their quick fix DID NOT take care of the problem by switching to DOT 4 brake fluid. I still had some brake issues after I took it in for the recall. When it is raining I still had the issue of my brakes failing or if I hit a bump in the road I had brake failure at times. Ford Motor Company took a cheap way out thinking this would solve the problem. I had to leave the road in the pass causing damage to my 2010 Ford Fusion. Today I am very angry with Ford Motor. They should have replaced Hydraulic brake system in the vehicle instead of playing games with people lives. Ford Dealership told me the part would cost $600. Ford Motor Company should be held accountable for their lack of interest of fixing the recall the correct way.

Braking failure and lights associated with it are currently on in the dash. Dealer says I need a new ABS Module and HCU. Around $2,000 worth of parts to fix it. This recall was first issued 3 years ago and Ford still has not found a solution apparently.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to stop as needed. The contact depressed the brake pedal extremely hard to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the ABS valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The failure mileage was 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

Brake pedal goes to floor with very minimal braking. ABS light and Brake lights come on along with Service Advancetrac. This appears to be the EXACT same issue as 19V90400 (Ford recall 19S54) but Ford Service says vehicle is not part of the recall. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED before someone dies! Ford dealer states that Ford Parts has placed a "STOP SALE" order on HCU's to fix the problem.

On approximately August 25, 2022 I noticed that my brake pedal had to be depressed further than usual, so I took it to a mechanic, who diagnosed hydraulic problems and did considerable repair work. That appeared to resolved the issue, but the problem recurred about September 7. The mechanic then identified a "silent recall" for replacement of a part in the automatic braking system -- # 19V904000. When I scheduled my vehicle for the driver airbag recall work, I was told my particular 2010 Ford Fusion was not eligible for the brake repair, even though my car's symptoms axactly match the description for #19V904000. I paid $450 for the work my mechanic did, but the problem was not resolved; and my Ford dealer says they can't repair it, either.

After driving the car normally, parking, and leaving the car for about 30 minutes, upon restarting the car, the Service Autotrac, anti-skid, ABS, and brake warning lights illuminated. The brake pedal travels nearly to the floor with no braking. Car had no braking unless I stomped on the pedal which locks up the brakes to stop. No trouble codes in OBD II. Car has 166,000 miles. I looked on You Tube, and this is a COMMON PROBLEM with Ford passenger cars and F-150s.

While approaching a stop sign I pressed on the brake pedal and the vehicle did not slow down. At the same moment the "Brake System" warning light came on. When I pressed the brake down as hard as I absolutely could, the vehicle finally began to slow ever so slightly, but I still was not able to slow at a reasonable rate for only going 15 miles per hour, and ended up passed the stop sign. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. After getting my vehicle towed to the nearest Ford service center, they returned with a quote to replace the ABS Module. After doing a quick search on the internet I found that there is a recall for that exact part, for the same year and model of my car, a 2010 Ford Fusion. However, when the Ford service center looks up my VIN, they say that it is not a match for the recall and therefore aren't responsible for the issue.

Drove on freeway 33 miles with no issues with brakes. Picked up my son and then going down hill of where we live No Brakes!! All brake faults lit up on dash. Restarted car several times still no brakes. I had to use emergency brakes to stop Aug 29 2022

Spongy brakes. Occasionally the pedal goes to the floor and the vehicle will not stop as it should.

No symptoms prior to failure. As I was driving, brakes went out. ABS warning lights came on along with other brake malfunction lights. I have to press the pedal down 90% of the way for the brakes to engage at all. It has happened twice now. The first time, the codes were reset and the car worked until the second time. Now the brakes don't work. Mechanic says the ABS Module needs replaced.

While driving my 2010 Ford Fusion, on five separate occasions (two times less than a week apart) and over the last five months, while stopping for traffic lights, traffic or pedestrians the brake pedal travelled just inches from the floor and extra effort was needed in attempt to activate the brakes hoping to come to a complete stop. On two jarring instances collision was avoided only by swerving the vehicle to keep from hitting a wayward pedestrian and the other instance was with another vehicle backing out in a mall shopping center. On all five occasions there was an associated amber ABS light on the dash, a sudden drop in brake pressure and severely degraded to no braking power during application. The brake fluid reservoir is appropriately filled with the manufacturer specified DOT 3 brake fluid and there are no leaks in the system whatsoever. I’ve been told at the Ford dealership that my vehicle will not be able to be inspected or seen by appointment for a little over 2 months (late Oct 2022). I’ve contacted Ford’s customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and they stated that my VIN# is not included in the recall: 19S54. It’s apparent that my vehicle is experiencing all of the identical issues which prompted the Ford recall 19S54. Please assist so the Ford Fusion community can resolve this issue before another catastrophic event occurs.

About July 13th 2022, I was driving to town with my children. The car's warning sounded and displayed a mechanic's wrench. Moments later while approaching the intersection a few hundred feet away, I had no foot brakes. I was able to use the hand brake and stop before running the busy cross traffic going 50+ mpg. Had I not reacted as fast I did, there would have been a three-car incident at the intersection threatening all of our lives. Had the car towed to the repair shop and they confirmed that the abs module and brake booster was no longer functioning and needed to be replaced. They were unable to perform that repair, so I then had it taken to a dealership for a second opinion, and they had the same conclusion. Apparently, this is such a problem that the abs module part is backordered with no estimated stocking date. Now I've been out of a car for over a month. Kendal Ford of Marysville Washington recommended repairs. 1. HYBRID BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (EEC TEST, PINPOINT TESTS) (NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS, BRAKE/TRACTION CONTROL/WRENCH...) Fail 2.

I own a 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. The ABS light, the Brake light, the Service Advancetrac, the Wrench, Etc. all were illuminated when the car on. While attempt to brake the brake pedal was depressed and I have to push hard on the pedal in order to make the car stop. I took the car to The Ford Store Morgan Hill (17045 Condit Rd. Morgan Hill, CA 95037 408-816-2332) and was informed that the failure might related to NHTSA campaign number: 19V904000 (Servive Brakes, Hydraulic). However, the VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that when attempting to depress the brake pedal, it would touch the floorboard. The brakes service warning light had illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who replaced 2 calibers and the brake pads but the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another certified mechanic who stated that the calibers had blown the brakes on the vehicle due to a lift failing to close causing brake fluid to get inside. The entire ABS system needed to be replaced however the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

Brakes are exhibiting issues with long brake pedal travel and sponginess. This has started within the last few weeks where it is off and on but is continuous now. The dealer has the vehicle and diagnosed it as an issue with the HCU or ABS system. My mom was driving it and had difficulty stopping the vehicle due to long brake pedal travel. I saw there was a previous recall 19S54 on the same year model that was produced at the same plant. However Ford will not fix it since the production date was two months after the original affected date. The campaign ended with vehicles produced up to July. Hers was produced in September. Since the dates were not the same they would not cover it even if it was the exact same issue on the recall.

On occasion, the brake pedal goes to the floor and car does not stop. Red triangle warning light comes on. Parking brake is needed to stop car. I have taken it to ford dealer, and problem was not repeated during their test drive.

After going over a rough patch of pavement on the road, I felt the brakes give out and completely reach the floor almost as if there was no pressure in the pump. Now, the brakes go all the way down when trying to brake and it still stops the car but it shouldn't do that. I've read others online had the same issue with the brakes.

Power steering pump tire pressure monitor advancetrac

Out of nowhere, my brakes malfunctioned with the pedal sinking low to the floor. Several lights went off including check brake system, traction control and ABS. This issue seems to be exactly related to a current recall involving ABS on 2010 Fusions but doesn't appear to apply to the Hybrid model. The issue is intermittent.

There is a recall for some vehicles manufactured near the time of this particular vehicle’s manufactured date for the ABS control unit. The valves stick causing unsafe breaking conditions. This particular vehicle exhibits the same behavior as described in the recall but this VIN is not showing up as one of the recalled vehicles for this problem. It is recall 19V904000 issued on December 12, 2019.

The breaks pedal on my Fusion just goes straight to the floor and can barely stop the car when its in drive and not giving any gas. A recall was issued on this model of a car but my car wasnt included for some reason. I am having the same issue with the ABS as the recall. Do your job NHTSA and make ford recall it on all fusions before someone dies. Ive already spent a ton of money on replacing all the brake pads, rotors, master cylinder and now have to replace the ABS system.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, it traveled to the floorboard causing the emergency brake to have to be used. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Mileage: 70,000

The same problem as safety recall19S54. My brake pedal went mushy and falls under the same exact problems that the safety recall is for. My vehicle however is not included in the recall

When driving I am having to push my break peddle to the floor in order for my breaks to finally activate and begin to slow the car down if breaks will work at all at time. This is intermittent but is happening more often and has almost causing multiple wrecks. I was told it is the Hydraulic Control Module by a multiple professionals. This is also recalled on 2010 Ford Fusion models but does not include vehicle at the moment.

I believed my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid MFG date: 08/09 fall under Recall NHTSA 19V904000. However, I did not receive any letter notification and/ or notice. I called the dealership and they’re asking for $200 something for diagnose then go from there. Is there anyway can confirm that my car under the recall so I get fix without any charge? I’m leaving on budget, cannot afford on anything else. Please find the attached pictures.

I was driving down the road the other day in my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid and my brakes suddenly didn't work. I got the big red flashing message on the dashboard to check the braking system. I had to really stomp on the brake pedal to get it to stop. Very concerning. I had a mechanic come to me and first checked the brake fluid which was still full. But he said it was thicker than it should be, gel like. He then ran the computer scan on it and found that the brake control system showed a fault indicating a valve stopped working or was stuck open or something. He checked it for an open recall suspecting it would be covered by the Ford 19S54 recall and only found some airbag recall issue. But the recall, that was issued just a few years ago, didn't come up because apparently it only covered vehicles made up through July 2009. Mine was made in I think November 2009. Not that many months apart and given that it exhibited the EXACT same behavior as the recall indicates, it seems it really should be extended to cover my car.

Hello, Around 3 years ago, I found out that Ford had a recall on 2010 Fusion for the brakes but my VIN # was not included. About a year and a half ago, I took my car to the shop because my brakes and rotors needed replaced. The mechanic called me to say even though they were all replaced, i still have to push the pedal to floor to stop but there was a recall on your make and model and to contact Ford. I then told him that when I checked a few years ago, it did not qualify. He then called Ford himself and was told the same thing. It cost us almost $900 to repair. Now only a little over a year later, the brakes are very bad and I’m asking that you please relook at VIN #’s. It scared me so bad today when I had to suddenly stop and all I heard was grinding and almost rear ended the car in front of me. It made me want to email you to find out if my car can fixed. This problem also causes wear and tear to happen faster because I should not have to replace them already after a short this period of time. Can you please re evaluate my car for the recall and also assistance with repairing the brakes and rotors? I do have the receipt from a licensed shop showing the repair I did already I can send too. Please advise. Thank you so much in advance for your time and help. I truly appreciate it!!

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while his spouse was driving 35 MPH, the vehicle experienced brake failure. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

I was driving and tried to stop and all my light came on dealing with my breaks. I replaced the brakes pads and that didn’t work. So I took it to the shop and they said that my ABS is out

About a month and half ago, I began experiencing issues with my brakes. They just would need to be pressed on more than the norm. I had the front brake pads replaced and still experienced the problem. I then took it to my local mechanic and they stated that the ABS module was faulty and needs to be replaced. I have experienced near crash incidents because of this.

Braking system just went down in middle of coming to stop sign. All lights for entire brakes system displayed. Abs went down. advance trac lights, wrench lights, Brake lights, Abs Lights, Anti slip lights, and no power in system to barely stop. Almost went into intersion before stopping with brakes to the floor.

I was driving one night leaving my aunt’s house , as I’m exiting her apartment complex I noticed my car was rolling into the car while my foot was on the brake. I started to pump the brakes and nothing happened. I put the car in reverse and i mashed the brake to floor so I could stop the car. Once I put the car back in drive to exit, I started to proceed down the street and I came to a stop sign but my car too entirely too long to stop. There were no lights on in the dash. There was brake fluid in the car. The brake pads were in perfect condition. The brakes failed without any warning. I have changed the brake pads and bled them. I have replaced the master cylinder. I found out that there isn’t any issue with the booster. I replaced the ABS control module, nothing has changed. Still no brakes. I found out that this issue was fixed before I bought this car from the previous owner in late 2020 & it costed them about $1500 to fix. The car is not even worth that much. I did research and I found out that this is a common issue among 2010 Ford Fusions and there was a recall on the car back in December of 2019. Ford Motor Co. started sending letters out in January of 2020, obviously the recall window was not open very long. I contacted Ford about this issue and the only thing I was told was take it to the dealer and I’m like how when I can’t drive the car. Also, I’ve called every Ford dealer to ask for an quote to see how much it is to fix the issue and I was told I cannot receive an quote unless they can physically look at the car. I really how Ford does another recall before someone gets killed in a crash or seriously injured. This is totally ridiculous and I am disgusted with car.

The brake pedal went almost all the way down before brakes engaged. The brakes did not seem as effective in stopping. There was a risk of rolling into traffic or crashing into another car because I could not stop. Several warning lights come on including messages to "inspect brake system" and "Service advancetrac". A ford dealership has inspected the car and recommends replacing the Hydraulic Control Unit and the ABS Module. They say it is not covered under any recall.

I was driving my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and as I was approaching a red signal light I applied pressure to my brakes and seen my dash alert me of my ABS system failing and my advanced Trac needs to be serviced due to my brakes not working properly I was almost involved in a serious collision. i had to pull on my e brakes to prevent injury, in result off I pulled off into the nearest lot and called a tow truck to take me and my vehicle to the dealership I was given a crazy repair charge and i was doing some research and i seen a recall for this issue, however i was advised that my VIN does not have any recalls. This is unsafe and needs to be addressed.

I got warning messages for my brake system and AdvanceTrac system which is the ECS in 2010 Ford Fusion. This resulted in an almost complete loss of braking power. For the second time in the past 4 months, I've gotten simultaneous brake warning lights and service advancetrac warning lights when travelling <15mph. It also happened once about 3 or so years ago. This has resulted in an almost complete loss of braking power. I fully depress the brake pedal and the car barely slows down. I had to pull the ebrake the first time so I didn't roll through a stop sign into an intersection. It is incredibly dangerous. What if I was going faster? What if there was heavy traffic, a child in the street? If I was in a parking lot? This is death or injury waiting to happen. After turning the car off and on again, the warning lights go away and the brake system is back to normal. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. There is a recall for 2006-2010 Ford Fusions for a sticking ABS valve but my car was not included in that recall. Ford needs to recall ALL 2010-2012 Fusions for this problem.

While driving the brake pedal will go all the way down and not braking the car, I have to press harder to start slowing down Brake pedal has almost no pressure and its really hard to break, I read there was a recall over this issue on some cars, but I have not received any recall notice regarding this

A sudden problem happened when to make the brakes on our 2010 Fusion Hybrid work the pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor. No warning lights came on until the problem surfaced. The warning lights say to check the AdvanceTrac system and the Brake sytem. The car was suddenly unsafe to drive, because if we had to brake quickly we would not be able to do so. A local Ford Service Shop said the HCU and ABS systems need replacing and will cost at least $2,400. This issue is similar to one that was subject to a recall, but our vehicle was not included in that recall. The car is at the Ford shop awaiting parts for repair.

No break pressure. I haven't been able to drive the car for about 2 year. Spent to much money trying to get it fixed. Booster x 2, master cylinder x 2 and abs modulator. Fusion has 83000 miles.

Car is a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With no prior warning, brakes went out and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with almost no stopping power whatsoever. Dealer wants $2000 for ABS Module and HCU replacement. Ford has a warranty on this for some 2006-2010 models, so I don't know why my car is not covered under this warranty if it's happening to my car too.

Brake pedal go's soft and down to the floor after ant-lock brakes are activated. Dealer may have unstuck a valve when bleeding the brakes which temporarily fixed the issue until anti-brakes were activated again and the brakes were soft again.

When I went to deploy the brakes, they would not activate until I pushed the pedal hard and all the way to the floor. The dashboard lights then lit up indicating an ABS issue. The braking distance went from normal to 4-6 times further as a result. I almost hit the truck in front of me. This happens intermittently and without any notice. I called the local Ford dealership and asked about the situation. They said there was no recall on 2010 Ford Fusions for braking issues. So, they will not cover expenses related to any repairs. I researched recalls and found that the braking system in 2010 Ford Fusion is supposed to be covered under a recall. I also have not received any recall notice related to braking on my 2010 Ford Fusion, as part of the recall. The Ford internal reference number for this recall is 19S54. The NHTSA identifier is 19V904.

Brake system failure.

I recently took in my car for the soft pedal recall. I never had any of the issues that were affecting some however now, I am getting problems similar to the soft pedal. When stopping it feels like the brake goes in quite a few inches before actually engaging to slow the speed. This is become very dangerous with the recent snow, it's almost impossible to predict the correct pressure to slow down my speed without sliding. There are no warning lights or any indicators prior to the failure.

On Dec 6 this vehicle suddenly lost all braking power , even when the brake pedal was pushed to the floorboard, This happened immediately after the car was driven onto rough payment when exiting a service station after gasoline purchase. The driver was able to bring the vehicle to a stop at curbside without collision or injury. The pavement was dry (no rain) on the day of this incident,. The car was towed to our local ford dealer,. The service technician performed a brake inspection as specified in the repair manual and could not reproduce the problem. The mechanic did not inspect the antilock hydraulic control unit even though we requested such inspection at time of service, This incident is simlar to the hydraulic brake unit failure as described in NTSB recall campaign 19VY904000/ Safety Recall 19WS54. Eiigibility for this recall ended with cars that were manufactured through7/15/2019. Our vehicle was manufactured at THE SAME Hermnosillo, Mex with load date Q8/14;/2009, just missing the recall window by a few weeks. REQUESTED ACTION: EXTEND CLOSING DATE FOR RECALL WINDOW SO OUR DEFECTIVE BRAKES CAN BE REPAIRED ATB NO COST.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact pulled into a parking lot, restarted the vehicle, and pumped the brake pedal several times for the brakes to function as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The contact researched online and linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

Mileage: 83,000

ABS Valve failed - failure was exactly as described in Ford Fusion Recall 19S54 (extended braking period, unsafe ability to brake quickly, as brakes are depressed and then require further braking in order to stop vehicle). Thankfully, my 16 year old son mentioned the problem with decreased braking performance and immediately upon driving, I took it to be looked at because it was clearly not safe to drive. The ABS valve was detected as the problem, the recall was identified and it was towed to a Ford dealership to inspect. Upon running the VIN, they determined that though the vehicle was made in the same plant as the 19S54 recalled vehicles FOR THIS PART/ valve being stuck open, and being a 2010 Ford Fusion, it was not included in the recall. No one from Ford has been willing to even discuss resolution options. The car is currently undriveable because of the unsafe nature of the failure and the cost to repair is more than the value of the vehicle, putting undue burden on the owner for a known part failure, not to mention the known safety risk. I have talked to the Ford Customer Service department (Jessie: Employee #2079462) and Fuller Ford, Cincinnati, OH. No resolution or concern for the safety of this vehicle has been expressed by Ford leadership or locally, despite the danger this car presents with this part failure (that has already been acknowledged by Ford and NHTSA)

This link is to a video of my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid that chronically experiences break system failure. This problem seems to be an electrical malfunction as the break system resumes working when the the alerts disappear from the dash. I purchased this Ford in December 2020 and began experiencing this problem in January 2021. This has been an ongoing issue for me and I have taken the Fusion Hybrid to Sunnyvale Ford once for this issue this year without a successful solution to what the malfunction is for my car. After researching this problem online, it was found thousands of fusions are experiencing this problem under a recall for the hydraulic unit for the breaking system. Ford continues to say my vehicle's vin doesn't have a break system recall. However, this very dangerous break system failure malfunction continues to resurface and remains a safety issue. Please see the video of my break system failure in the link below: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pmi7MMFC8fS81Ab56 [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing a 7-10 feet stopping distance delay. The warning message "Reset Brake System" was illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000

3 days ago when coming to a stop light, my brakes was not working properly and when it was not going to come to a stop I pressed really hard on the brakes (There was no cars in front of me but if there was I would definitely hit them) and than I felt my brakes going all the way down to the floor. Every since than when I am driving I have to press really hard on the brakes for a long time before it comes to a stop.

Brakes stopped working, pedal went to floor, ABS warning appeared. Took it to repair shop, replaced front and rear pads and rotors, but brakes still did not work, ABS warning again. Took it to dealer who confirmed faulty ABS control unit. Dealer said this car is not covered by a recall of same or similar part in late 2019 as this car is a hybrid and the recalled ones are not. Brakes now work but without power assist. Car has 100,000 miles on it.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF A BRAKE ISSUE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #19V904000. HAVE HAD VEHICLE EXAMINED AND DIAGNOSED AT PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT ALL LIKELY CAUSES OF ISSUE INCLUDING MASTER CYLINDER AND AIR IN SYSTEM, WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. FORD DEALER SAYS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT IT CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MUSHY WITH EXCESSIVE TRAVEL PRIOR TO ENGAGING. IN A PANIC STOP SITUATION WOULD LIKELY NOT STOP THE VEHICLE.

There is an existing recall (19V904000) for my model year Ford Fusion vehicles for the ABS control module. The recall is vin specific. The risk is that a valve in the control unit fails to close and the vehicle looses its ability to stop. My vehicle’s ABS control module has failed due to this sticking valve. I believe my vehicle should be included in the recall due to it having the exact same part as the recalled vehicles and the part failing. Ford is unwilling to fix the problem under the recall.

ABS module malfunctioning consistent with previous ABS module recall despite the car not being on the recall list. Brakes went out as I was turning into a parking lot, nearly hitting the car in front of me. Brake System maintenance light came on and despite changing worn out front brakes and calipers the lights remain on and the pedal requires pressing down on the brakes all the way to the floor to engage the brakes.

I am filing a complaint because Ford has not addressed the open recall regarding the ABS brake issue in a timely manner. This recall was opened in December 2019 with parts expected to be available late first quarter 2020, according to the recall bulletin. Here it is almost 1.5 years later with no resolution. Here is the recall I am referring to: Dec 18,2019 Manufacturer Recall Number19S54 NHTSA Recall Number19V904 Recall Status Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available

brakes faded away to nothing. I put on new master cylinder and could not bleed brakes. took it to dealer they had trouble bleeding brakes and returned car to me with brakes way down to floor saying it's o k. abs hydraulic control unit malfunction? varney ford newport, maine so# 70000

brakes kept fading and going further to floor. changed master cylinder and could not get brakes back by bleeding. abs modual?

Unknown. Ever since I owned the vehicle it has had this soft braking pedal. I've found out it's the ABS module.

When traveling at any speed I have to press on the brakes harder and press the pedal further and it take the vehicle longer to stop.

My brakes have failed three times between November of 2019 and May of 2020. The first incident was while I was backing out of our garage. Without warning, my brakes failed causing me to come to a very slow stop, almost hitting our brick fence. After the brakes failed, the entire dash lit up red. I immediately put the car in park and left it there until the tow truck came to take it to the brake shop. The brake shop inspected it and stated that all the components looked fine and that they could not duplicate the problem. When I went to pick up the car, the mechanic was backing it out of the bay and the brakes failed again. Because they were not sure what would cause it to happen since all the components appeared in good condition, out of precaution, they replaced the master cylinder and bled the brake lines. The car performed well until May of 2020, when they failed again, only this time the car was in drive. My husband had just pulled out of the school parking lot, so he was already at a low speed, but the brakes failed as he tried to stop. As in my experience, the pedal went to the floor before coming to a stop and then the dash lit up in red. He drove the car home and we then had it towed to the dealership. The dealership indicates that there was nothing visibly wrong with the vehicle and they could not replicate the problem, but because the car had 6 codes regarding the brake system, they would need to replace the master cylinder, the module HCU, ABS module, brake booster, and then reprogram the brake system. I've contacted Ford Customer Relations as there were recalls regarding the brake systems on other Fusions, but they can't do anything for me because the car's VIN is not showing any recalls except the airbags. The dealership indicated that I would have to do all of the above repairs or they wouldn't do any at all, as it was a safety issue.

While driving (Luckily) at lower speeds of about 15mph on two separate occasions, lights illuminated on the dashboard (Brake light, Service Advancetrac, and ABS) and the brakes hardly worked at all and had to stomp on them to get the car to slow, who knows what could have happened at highway speeds or traffic. I also have read of HUNDREDS of other reports of the same issues happening at highway speeds as well. There has been a recall so far referencing "19V904000" Though this does cover some of the affected models, the dates should be extended because the same issue covered in this recall is happening to HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS more customers needing the same parts replaced. So in my opinion this is the same issue as the recall and there is plenty of proof and we should look out for the safety of the customers as well as the families on the road traveling.

Out of the clear blue the car Failed to Stop unless pump brakes several times , my Daughter was driving and almost wrecked and made it home safely. Upon safety and recall investigation there was a recall 19S54 Brakes Hydraulic failure for 2010 Ford Fusion however Vehicle Vin was not included. i tried to order the part my self but it could not be sold to me. Ford dealership tried to order the part and could not get it. Called Ford relations and they stated the vehicle needed to be taken to Ford Dealership to be diagnosed to see if the HCU is bad and if so the dealership file an internal claim to cover under the recall. Vehicle was taken to Sames Ford Bastrop TX 78602 and diagnosed that the HCU was bad and met the recall requirements. Internal Paperwork was filed. Part was ordered and arrived 2 weeks later. Vehicle was in the Ford Dealership shop and tech was performing the Air Bag recall at the time. I called to check status and service Center said I would get a call from the service director. Service Director called and told me one of the tech wrecked my car because of the brakes issue since the HCU module was not installed yet. Service director told me they would cover the labor but Ford refused to pay for the HCU module. This clearly meets the Safety recall and now the Dealership has to fix the car from the wreck caused by this recall. I called ford relations and they told me there is nothing they can do to add my vehicle to the recall claim. They stated I would need to write a letter to Ford Consumer Affairs about my situation. My stance is Ford should pay 100% , the dealership diagnosed and now wrecked my car because of the HCU failure and have not had my vehicle in 3 weeks!

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at 35 mph and attempting to make a left turn, the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle went over a curb and into a grass field where the vehicle struck a tree which caused damage to the front undercarriage. There was no warning light illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. There was no medical treatment at the scene however, the contact went to see a doctor the next day for neck and lower back pain. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact was concerned that the failure was related to the recent recall repair that was performed on the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 180,000.

OVER A DOZEN TIMES, BEGINNING MARCH 2021, WITH ABOUT 109000 MILES, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND AT TIMES AT A STOP LIGHT (THE CHECK BRAKE/ ALL TRAC LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON, BUT IF THE RADIO IS ON, IT IS NOT HEARD). THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALMOST ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER, BUT IN ALL OF THE INCIDENTS I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN HARM'S WAY. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED, ON MOST OCCASIONS THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL FOR A WHILE (SOMETIMES, THIS HAS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THIS "FIX" WORKS). HOW CAN THIS HAZARD NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH ALMOST 200 COMPLAINTS? THANK YOU.

AFTER A BRAKING EVENT IN WHICH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, THE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT/SPONGEY AND SINKS TO THE FLOOR MORE THAN IT USUALLY WOULD. THE CAR CAN STILL STOP, BUT IT REQUIRES A MUCH LARGER APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL (75% PUSHED IN VS 30% FOR EXAMPLE). THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ONE EVENT OCCURRED WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATED DUE TO ICE ON THE ROAD, THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED DUE TO BRAKING WHILE HYDROPLANING (ABS WAS ACTIVATED). AFTER THE MOST RECENT EVENT IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT, I WAS ABLE TO GET NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY BY REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE STATIONARY. THE PRESSURE DID NOT GRADUALLY BUILD IN THE PEDAL AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IF THERE WAS AIR IN THE LINE, IT WAS LIKE FLIPPING A SWITCH - ONE PRESS WAS SPONGEY AND THEN THE NEXT WAS NORMAL. I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO GET THE PEDAL BACK TO NORMAL BY BRAKING HEAVILY TO CAUSE THE ABS TO REENGAGE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THIS EXACT CAR FOR THIS EXACT YEAR BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT (MEXICO) BUT THIS SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY ABS UNIT IN WHICH THE VALVES GET STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE FLUID TO CIRCLE THROUGH THE UNIT RATHER THAN APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED. THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY THE PEDAL GOES BACK TO NORMAL - THERE IS NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM OR ANYTHING, THE VALVE IS GETTING STUCK OPEN AND THEN BECOMING UNSTUCK. THE RECALL NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE IS 16V250000. THIS VEHICLE IS CLEARLY EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THE VEHICLES IN THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL AND IS THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, AND IS ALSO BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

FUSION BRAKES BECAME VERY SPONGY LAST YEAR CALLED THE DEALER, TOOK CAR IN THEY REPORTED "RESETTING THE BRAKE SENSOR", AND BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING SATISFACTORY. 2 WEEKS AGO, PROBLEM RETURNED ON A TRIP OF 500 MILES, THOUGHT BRAKES WERE LOOSING FLUID, CHECKED FLUID WAS FINE. PUMPED BRAKES IN PARK VERY HARD X 5-10 REPS X 3 SETS , BRAKE PARTIALLY RETURNED. ARRIVING HOME BRAKES FUNCTIONED FAIR. NOW PAST 2 DAYS UNABLE TO RESET BRAKES AND THEY ARE VERY SPONGY, VERY RISKY FOR TRAVEL AND PERFORMING UNEXPECTED STOPPING. FORD SERVICE REPORTS SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE UNDER RECALL SOME ARE NOT?? I WILL REDRESS THIS WITH DEALER THIS WEEK. NOW STEERING FAULT IS SHOWING UP, LOOSES ASSIST WHILE DRIVING , MAKES PARKING AND AVOIDANCE MANEUVERING DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. AGAIN SOME VEHICLES UNDER RECALL NOT MINE ??

I WAS AT A PARKING LOT AND WAS PULLING OUT IN REVERSE WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING BACKWARDS WITHOUT STOPPING BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I PULLED THE E-BRAKE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN AND I WENT TO AN EMPTY ROAD AND TESTED MY BRAKES AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I WENT REVERSE MY BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. I TESTED IT AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE HOURS AND IT WORKED FINE BUT SOON AFTER THAT IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU).

PRESSED ON BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ALARM CHIME SOUNDED. THE DASHLIGHTS FOR ABS SYSTEM AND SKID CONTROL LIT UP ALONG WITH WARNING TO HAVE ADVANCE BRAKING SYSTEM SERVICE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE IN NON EMERGENCY SITUATION BUT JUST BARELY AVOIDED REAR END CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20-25MPH. PULLED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED OFF KEY AND THEN RESTARTED. DASH CODES CLEARED AND CAR OPERATED NORMALLY SINCE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NHTSA RECALL COVERS THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME FORD MODEL VEHICLES AS MINE BUT MY VIN IS EXCLUDED. PLEASE EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY VIN

PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT JUNE 2020. ABS & TRACTION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ENGINE START. BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IS LONGER THAN NORMAL IN ON ROAD USE. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS FORD RECALL NO.19S54 BUT THIS (FUSION HYBRID) CAR ISN'T COVERED.

Mileage: 125,000

THE VEHICLE ABS MODULE FAILED AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES, RESULTING IN DELAYED AND MORE DIFFICULT BRAKING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT BRAKE PROPERLY AND HAS RESULTED IN DOCUMENTED ACCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FORD RECALL #19S54 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 19V904000. THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES EXHIBITED THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THE RECALL, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT A SLIGHTLY LATER DATE (< 2 MONTHS AFTER THE AFFECTED-PARTS END DATE). UPON CONTACTING FORD, THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE THE VEHICLE IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS. WE ARE ALERTING NHTSA THAT MORE 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID VEHICLES MAY BE IMPACTED OTHER THAN THE ONES CAPTURED IN THE INITIAL RECALL.

Mileage: 80,000

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. MY WIFE DROVE IT A FEW MONTHS LATER AND HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE FORD STORE SAN LEANDRO DEALER LOCATED AT 1111 MARINA BLVD, SAN LEANDRO, CA 94577, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

MY FORD FUSION 2010 HYBRID HAS A BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY INDICATE A BRAKE SENSOR FAILURE, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ODDLY ENOUGH, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND BACK ON, WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SO WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IF I EXPERIENCE THIS SENSOR FAILURE/4 ODDLY ENOUGH, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND BACK ON, WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SO WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IF I EXPERIENCE THIS SENSOR FAILURE/FAULTY I HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND HOPE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 70+ ON THE INTERSTATE. IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD ONE TIME AS I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND HAD ALMOST CAUSED ME TO FLY OFF OF THE RAMP, AS I WAS NOT READY TO HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, JUST TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. I CAN PROVE THIS WITH VIDEO FOOTAGE AS WELL FOR EVIDENCE.

Mileage: 140,000

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND BRAKING ON SNOW COVERED, WET AND/OR BUMPY ROADS, THE BRAKES WILL MOMENTARILY FAIL AS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES WAY DOWN TO NEAR THE FLOOR BEFORE RE-ENGAGING THE BRAKES. THIS RESULTS IN TEMPORARY LOSS OF BREAKING AND GREATER STOPPING DISTANCE THEN INITIALLY INTENDED AND HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHILE BREAKING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE. THE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED DOWN MUCH FARTHER THEN NORMAL.

Mileage: 95,000

THE BRAKES FEEL STUCK AND SLOW RESPONDING, WITH EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. ALSO THE "CHECK BRAKE" LIGHT APPEARS. MATCH THE SYMPTOMS FOR FORD FUSION RECALL 19S54, AND WAS ALSO BUILT IN HERMOSILLO, MEXICO, AND YET BECAUSE MY CAR IS A HYBRID, MY CAR IS NOT TECHNICALLY RECALLED, DESPITE HAVING THE SAME, HIGHLY DANGEROUS ISSUES.

Mileage: 100,000

I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES FOR A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, MY DASH LIT UP WITH SEVERAL BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS AND I HAD TO USE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOST MOST OF BY BRAKING ABILITY AS WELL AS REGENERATIVE BRAKING. CHECKING THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON FORD FUSIONS BUILT IN MEXICO DURING THE TIME FRAME THAT MY FORD WAS BUILT IN MEXICO USING DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID AS MINE USES. THE RECALL(NHTSA #19V-904 FORD #19S54) STATES THAT IT IS NON-VIN SPECIFIC. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THE VIN # OF MY FORD DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL??? I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID TOO THAT THE VIN # DISQUALIFY 'S ME FROM THIS RECALL AND COULD NOT TELL ME WHY. I WAS TOLD TO SET UP AN APPT. WITH A DEALER, DEALER , PAY THEM 130.00 FOR AN ANALYSIS, AND THEN FORD WOULD ADD IT TO THEIR DATABASE OF PROBLEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION. THE RECALL STATES ABS MODULES ARE HAVING VALVE PROBLEMS BUT FORD HAS LIMITED THEIR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PROBLEM TO CERTAIN MODULES. PER THE RECALL I TALKED TO THE GAVE THEM THE DATA ON MY ABS LABELS BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHICH DATE CODE,ETC IS COVERED BY FORD. ANOTHER CALL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN A SCRIPTED RESPONSE OF WE DON'T KNOW WHICH MODULES ARE COVERED AND WHY MY CAR IS NOT. ESCALATING TO THE "MANAGER OF CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS ANOTHER BRICK WALL, THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME THE SPECIFICS OF THE MODEL/SERIAL#, EVEN THE PART NUMBER OR DATE CODE OF THE MODULES COVERED SO THAT I CAN VERIFY WHAT I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. FORD HAS PUT BLINDERS ON TO THE FACT THAT MORE ABS MODULES HAVE PROBLEMS THAN THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE IDENTIFIED. CHECKING THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY OTHERS WERE TREATED TO THE SAME DENIAL THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED!!

Mileage: 175,000

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45,THE BRAKES WAS QUICKLY DEPRESS TO STOP FROM HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT. WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP THEN HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT HALF WAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HAVING AN INCIDENT.THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.MOST OF THE TIME IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BREAKING.AFTERWARDS STOPPING AND BRAKING DISTANCE WAS NORMAL. THIS CONDITION IS .LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN FEAR THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP IN TIME.THE TIME WAS DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY CITY STREET.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. OVER THE YEARS, AFTER A HARD BRAKING INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE'S ABS SYSTEM WOULD SIGNAL 'ERROR' IT WOULD THEN CLEAR ANYWHERE FROM A MINUTE OR SO TO UP TO A DAY OR MORE. ON THE MOST RECENT HARD BRAKING INCIDENT, THE ABS WHEN INTO ERROR MODE AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS HAS NOT CLEARED THE ERROR. I NOTED THAT THERE IS A RECALL #19V90400 FOR MY MODEL MAKE AND YEAR BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. IT SEEMS ODD SINCE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ABS ERROR ISSUE AFTER HARD BRAKING, TO THE POINT OF SLIGHT TIRE SCREECH, FOR LITERALLY THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE FORD FUSION 2010 BOUGHT USED AND DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS NOW. FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW THE BREAK GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND GETS OUT OF CONTROL, BREAK FAILURE APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. YOU TOTALLY FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CRUSH WITH THE CAR INFRONT OF YOU. IN MY CASE I HAVE TO TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AND WHEN I RESTART THE ENGINE AND DRIVE AND IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS REALLY VERY DENGEROUS IF IT IS IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND IN DRIVING BETWEEN CARS. WHEN I SEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE I FOUND A CBS NEWS ON YOUTUBE PUBLISHED DECEMBER 2019 THAT FORD WAS IS RECALLING FORD FUSION FROM 2006 TO 2020 ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL MADE WITH THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME THAT TO FIX THE CAR AND KEEP THE RECEIPT FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DOES NOT STOP QUICKLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I CAME UP ON MY TURN AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN. THE BRAKES STARTED TO APPLY AND THEN WENT SOFT AND THE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOORBOARD AS I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS AFRSID THAT I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SAFELY MAKE THE TURN. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO SLOW DOWN, BUT I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP AS THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FULLY STOP THE CAR. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS ABOVE MINIMUM, BUT FILLED TO MAXIMUM AND TRIED TO BLEED BRAKES. DROVE HOME VERY CAUTIOUSLY. REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH DID NOT FIX BRAKE PROBLEM. RESEARCHED PROBLEM FURTHER ONLINE AND FOUND RECALL ON 2006-2010 FORD FUSION, HOWEVER THE BUILD DATES DO NOT INCLUDE THIS CAR BY APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS. OUR FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO HONOR THE RECALL FOR THIS REASON. HAVE ALSO READ OTHER CLAIMS OF 2011 FORD FUSIONS ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT THE RECALL DID NOT EXTEND FAR ENOUGH TO PROTECT OTHER FUSION OWNERS FROM THIS TERRIFYING SAFETY HAZARD. CONSIDERING TAKING THIS MATTER TO LOCAL MEDIA AS WELL.

MY WIFE SAID SOMETIMES HER CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP AND THE PEDAL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. A FEW DAYS AGO A CAR IN FRONT OF HER MADE A SUDDEN STOP SO SHE HAD TO HIT BRAKES AND HER PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR SO SHE HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE CAR HAD NO BRAKES WITH PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING SO I TOOK IT TO LONG LEWIS FORD IN HOOVER AL. THEY CHARGED TO BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH DIDN'T CHANGE NOTHING....STILL NO BRAKES. NEXT, THEY SAID THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER I INSTALLED COULD BE DEFECTIVE SO THEY CHARGED TO PUT ON ANOTHER ONE....THEY SAID THAT THE CAR DOES HAVE BRAKES BUT PEDAL STEAL NOT RIGHT BECAUSE THE PEDAL GOES HALFWAY TO THE FLOOR. THE GUY MIKE CALLED AND SAID THAT THE CAR HAS BRAKES BUT THE SHOP MANAGER FEELS LIKE THE ABS PUMP IS BAD SO I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE CAR IS SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE. THEY REPLACED THE ABS PUMP AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE GREAT WHICH MEANS THE PUMP WAS BAD ALL ALONG. THE FINAL BILL WAS $2119.00 WHICH BLEW MY MIND. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE THERE WAS A RECALL ON A 2010 FORD FUSION AND IT WAS ONE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD BUT MY CAR VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. I TRULY FEEL LIKE ALL THE 2010 FUSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY.

THIS ISSUE IS THE EXACT SAME AS WHAT THEY RECALLED BY MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

REQUEST TO ADD VIN # TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID#: 19V904000. BRAKE PEDAL ALWAYS WENT DOWN MORE THAN NORMAL. IN JUNE 2018, HAD REAR BRAKE PADS, CALIPER AND ROTORS REPLACED. OCTOBER 2018, HAD FRONT ROTORS REPLACED, MARCH 2020 HAD REAR BRAKE, CALIPERS AND ROTORS REPLACED AGAIN. MECHANIC BLED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT ESTABLISH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, BUT TESTED AND THERE WERE NO LEAKS. MECHANIC SAID THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO BE REPLACED THIS OFTEN, THE FLUID IS NOT GETTING WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD SERVICE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THEM TO BLEED THE BRAKES WHEN I JUST HAD A MECHANIC DO IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED THEM TO EXPLAIN, BUT SINCE THE VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL, THEY ARE NOT HANDLING THIS ISSUE PROFESSIONALLY. IT IS THE VALVES WITHIN THE HBS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT THAT IS PROHIBITING THE VALVES FROM CLOSING PROPERLY WHICH IS WHY MY MECHANIC COULD NOT PRESSURIZE THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE SYSTEM. THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND; THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS VIN# BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL SO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THEY WILL NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKES ANYWAY AFTER REPLACING THE VALVES IN THE HCU. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN EVERY DAY, AND SAT IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME FROM 2018 TO MARCH 2020. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF WORK DONE. THIS IS A SCHOOL CAR AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK MY CHILD BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE.

INTERMITTENTLY SHOWS BRAKE/ADVANCED TRACTION FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED VERY HARD WHEN IT IS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. SOMETIMES THE FAILURES ARE SEVERAL MONTHS APART AND USUALLY GO AWAY AFTER ONE OR TWO RESTARTS. TODAY THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR IT BY RESTARTING THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOW HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER ONCE MORE. I AM NOT BLAMING THE DEALER AS THEY HAVE DONE WHAT THEY CAN. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION SHOULD HAVE BEEN RE PAIRED BY NOW. TODAY'S PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH ON A CITY ST. IN THE PAST IT MOSTLY HAPPENED WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED.

WHILE DRIVING ON I85 IN ATLANTA AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME WILL BRAKE SUDDENLY CAUSING ME TO JAM MY BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. INSTEAD OF STOPPING OR SLOWING THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD AND I ALMOST REAR END THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ALL FOUR ROTORS, BRAKES AND CALIPERS. ALL TO NO EFFECT. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT WILL PULL TO ONE SIDE DURING BRAKING OR FEEL AS IF IT IS GRABBING ONE SIDE THEN THE OTHER INSTEAD OF A SINGLE SMOOTH PRESSURE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE PUMP TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE WITH ANY FIRMNESS. THERE IS A ABS CONTROL UNIT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE 19V904000 BUT IS FOR PLANT SPECIFIC VEHICLES.

I STARTED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, I COASTED TO A STOP AND CALLED TRIPLE A. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE CAR OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN I CAME TO THE FIRST STOP SIGN AGAIN IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUSHING EXTREMELY HARD DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND USING THE AID OF MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER 2 DAYS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX. THE CAR NEEDED THE BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATED BECAUSE OF A GLITCH RESULTING IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT TO GET STUCK OPEN OR REACT SLOWLY.

HAD THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED AT TIRES PLUS DUE TO BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND NOW WE ARE GETTING AN ABS HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT) CODE AND THE VALVES ARE NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. WHEN I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS FORD RECALLED APPROXIMATELY 600,000 VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDED THE 2010 FORD FUSION, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NOT ENGAGE. MY SON BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A TIRES PLUS IN DULUTH, MN DUE TO THE ISSUE WHEN HE'S DRIVING.

MY VEHICLE EXPERIANCED AN ABS EVENT A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A LIGHTLY SNOW COVERED ROAD. SINCE THE EVENT THE BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, ULTIMATELY ENDING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS OUTLINED IN FORD'S RECALL 19S54, HOWEVER AFTER SPEAKING WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE PRODUCTION DATE OF MAY 2010 IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR RECALL. BEING THAT THIS ISSUE AFFECTS OTHER 2006-2010 FORD FUSION VEHICLES I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECALL. (19S54) MY LOCAL MECHANIC INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM TODAY AND CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, THAT THE ISSUE IS LIKELY BEING CAUSED BY A DEFECT WITHIN THE ABS VALVE UNIT.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION'S BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT SOFT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN AUGUST 2019. ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR, SO I HAD TO LEAVE LARGE SPACES BETWEEN MY CAR AND OTHER CARS IN ORDER TO HAVE ENOUGH STOPPING DISTANCE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO HAD TO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND INSTALL A NEW HCU. THE REPAIRS COST OVER $1400. IN DECEMBER 2019, A RECALL WENT OUT FOR 2010 FORD FUSIONS FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD TO FIND OUT IF I COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. FORD INFORMED ME THAT MY PARTICULAR 2010 FORD FUSION IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL, BECAUSE IT IS ONLY COVERING FORD FUSIONS BUILT BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2009 AND JULY 16, 2009. THEY SAID THAT MY FORD WAS BUILT ON JULY 22, 2009 (6 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL CUT-OFF DATE), AND IS THEREFORE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND THE MECHANIC HAD TO MAKE THE EXACT SAME REPAIR THAT IS PRESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. NHTSA, I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINS AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, AND WHO HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FORD THAT THEIR CAR IS NOT COVERED FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT FALLS OUTSIDE THAT VERY SPECIFIC DATE RANGE. I URGE YOU TO EXPAND THE DATE RANGE FOR THIS RECALL. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENS SUDDENLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND IMPAIRS VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE SIGNIFICANTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED ALREADY TO MANY PEOPLE, NOT ONLY THOSE WHO HAD FORD FUSIONS BUILT BETWEEN THE SPECIFIC RECALL DATE RANGE, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNLESS PEOPLE ARE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR CARS IN TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. PLEASE NOTE THE URGENCY OF THIS ISSUE AND WORK WITH FORD TO EXPAND THE RECALL DATES.

FROM 6/2019 UNTIL 1/2020, INTERMITTENT AND SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD OCCUR AFTER AN ABS EVENT, SUCH AS LOSS OF TRACTION DUE TO ROUGH ROAD (E.G. GRAVEL, POT-HOLE). THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR COMING TO A STOP IN THE CITY. BRAKING WAS SEVERELY REDUCED AFTER EVENT WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL. DURING A SNOWSTORM IN 1/2020, FREQUENT ABS EVENTS OCCURRED DUE TO LOSS OF TRACTION, AND THE ISSUE TRANSITIONED FROM BEING INTERMITTENT TO CONSTANT. EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS CONSTANT AT ALL SPEEDS (IN PARK, CITY, HIGHWAY) AND THE ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED BY DEALER AS A FAILURE OF THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU). DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF HCU AND FLUSH OF BRAKE FLUID WITH REPLACEMENT OF DOT4 FLUID AT VEHICLE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE, WITH THE SAME REPAIR PLAN, WAS FOUND BY THE VEHICLE OWNER TO BE ADDRESSED UNDER A RECALL FOR 2006-2010 MODEL YEAR FORD FUSIONS (19S54); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE OWNER'S 2010 FORD FUSION WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. FROM THE OWNER'S EXPERIENCE, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE ISSUE ADDRESSED IN THE RECENT RECALL MUST BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES, SUCH AS THE OWNER'S VEHICLE

WITHING DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, THE BRAKES BECAME NON-RESPONSIVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND PRESSING ON THE BREAK PEDAL HARDER, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY COME TO A STOP. WE WERE DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH. WE HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. IT WAS TERRIFYING. HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT WHEN CONTACTING FORD THEY JUST GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER & HASN'T REACHED OUT TO ME SINCE EVEN THOUGH MY ISSUE WAS RECENT & THE RECALL WAS RECENT. AFTER THIS HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LACK OF RESPONSE, THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD. THE REPAIRS COST US OVER ALMOST 2K.

THE VEHICLE HAS A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 18 MONTHS AND FURTHER BRAKE TRAVEL IS REQUIRED TO GET THE SAME OR SIMILAR BRAKING PERFORMANCE, OFTEN TO THE FLOOR. OCCASIONALLY, THIS BECOMES CONCERNING WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO ALWAYS SLOW OR STOP CONSISTENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, A PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS, SUCH AS OVERNIGHT OR AFTER WORK. WHEN FIRST APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE IS ALMOST NO BRAKING THAT HAPPENS. THIS IS AT SLOW SPEEDS, 1-5 MPH. EXAMPLE, APPROXIMATELY WEEKLY, WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL A FEW FEET (3-5 FEET) EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS, DEFINITELY UNDER 5 MPH. AT THOSE SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEARLY BACKING INTO VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN A FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED A HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS STUCK AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS DIAGNOSIS IS VERY SIMILAR, IF NOT THE SAME AS NHSTA CAMPAIGN 19V904000 AND FORD RECALL 19S54. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THAT RECALL DUE TO DATE OF MANUFACTURE. SINCE THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE THE SAME, PLEASE URGE FORD TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO BRAKE. SUDDENLY MY BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH. THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR IS NOT STOPPING. TO AVOID GETTING T BONED I HAVE TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. BROUGHT THE CAR TO GET FIXED AND MY ABS/ HCU UNIT FAILED. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS CRAZY HIGH. LOOKED IT UP AND FORD IS CURRENTLY DOING A RECALL FOR 2006-2010 FORD FUSIONS FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON MY BRAKES FAILED. THEY ARE NOT INCLUDING HYBRIDS IN THIS RECALL FOR SOME REASON. I WOULD HIGHLY ENCOURAGE FORD TO INCLUDE HYBRIDS IN THE RECALL AS CLEARLY IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS A HYBRID OR NOT. FORD FUSIONS FROM 2006-2010 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AT THAT POINT BECAUSE WITH NO BRAKES GOING 65 MPH, NOT GOOD!

MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE CURRENT RECALL IS FOR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR ISN'T UNDER RECALL. I AM HAVING TO PRESS MY BRAKES MUCH HARDER IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKING TO ENGAGE.

THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

Mileage: 80,000

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, IF I ENCOUNTER A SITUATION THAT WOULD ENGAGE ABS, INSTEAD OF ABS TURNING ON, THE BRAKE SUDDENLY TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. PRIVATE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. FORD DEALER SERVICE BLEED THE LINES AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE PROBLEM WAS ELIMINATED. NO CODES ARE PRODUCED.

I'VE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE ABS VALVE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. COULD THIS BE WHAT'S CAUSED MY PROBLEMS BEFORE I'VE HAD SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED MY 2010 FUSION GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY JUST DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A FORD F150. I WAS IN A TURNING LANE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WHEN WE DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND I WASN'T STOPPING, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHILE PUSHING ALL I COULD WITH A SIZE 9 STEEL TOE WORK BOOT TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING ANYONE'S VEHICLE. IT WASN'T ANY DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO BREAK A CHROME PIECE OFF MY GRILL. I'VE ALWAYS JUST ASSUMED IT WAS LACK OF MAINTENANCE OR DUE TO WET ROADS PLUS THE FACT THE CAR HAS OVER 225,000 MILES BUT THIS LAST INCIDENT THE ROADS WAS DRY AND BEING IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO TURN I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 10 MPH.

Mileage: 224,700

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR..FIRST @ 23,000 MILES BACK BRAKES FROZE UP ON ME, HAD TO HAVE BOTH ROTORS & PADS REPLACED, SINCE THEN HAD PADS REPLACED AGAIN ON THE BACK. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS TWICE, JUST THIS MONTH WITH 46,000 MILES ON MY CAR, HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS & PADS BECAUSE THEY WERE MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE ..I FEEL THE BRAKES ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING ESPECIALLY IF I'M DRIVING &#128663;

REVERSING MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE. LOST ALL BRAKES IN THE CAR. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE I ALWAYS THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD VERY LOW BRAKES. I'D HAVE TO PRESS THE BREAK VERY LOW TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. WHEN I LOST THE BRAKES I'M THE CAR I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO BAD CALIPERS AND ROTORS. AFTER REPLACING ALL CALIPERS UNDER WARRANTY AND BLEEDING THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. TOWED THE CAR TO TORRINGTON FORD AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A MASTER CYLINDER FIRST WHICH MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN A POSSIBLE HCU REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER DOESN'T CORRECT HE BRAKE ISSUE. *LN*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP AND THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND FELT SPONGY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ABS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHEN MY FUSION HITS A BUMP MY BRAKES PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I BRAKE HARD AND TURN WHEELS MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I BRAKE ON WET PAVEMENT MY BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST GOES TO THE FLOOR. WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE TO PUMP MY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE BRAKES GET BETTER IN A FEW DAYS AFTER ABS VALVES CLOSES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER TWO YEARS. THIS HAPPEN TODAY WHEN I WAS STOPPING BEHIND A CAR TO MAKE A TURN AND MY PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE I HIT THE CAR. I KNOW THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $1200 TO ME. I ALSO KNOW THIS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE FORD FUSION THAT FORD WILL NOT FIX!

MY BRAKES GOES ALL THE WAY THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING....FROM TIME TO TIME

INTERMITTENTLY MY BRAKES WILL GO OUT, MOST OFTEN THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF AND I TURN IT OFF AND TRY TO REVERSE THOUGH IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENS ON ACCESS ROADS, THE HIGHWAY, MY DRIVEWAY AND MOST OFTEN IN PARKING LOTS. MY CAR WILL ROLL AND BE COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND I CAN PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, ETC ON THE DASHBOARD ALL LIGHT UP AND MY CAR KEEPS ROLLING. I TRY TURNING MY VEHICLE ON AND OFF AS SOMETIMES EVEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK WILL NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND COME TO FIND OUT A KNOWN GLITCH FOR SOME 2010 FORD FUSIONS.

(MY DAILY PATH IS ON CITY STREETS MARKED 45 MPH. INCIDENTS GENERALLY OCCUR AT INTERSECTIONS WITH STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS; I AM CONTINUING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING) BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING DURING WET CONDITIONS, CONDITIONS WITH A DUSTING OF SNOW OR IF VEHICLE HITS A BUMP WHILE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. INSTEAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD. DRIVER MUST PUMP BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET PEDAL TO RETURN TO NORMAL POSITION AND FOR BRAKES TO ACTIVATE. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO ACTIVATE, AS IT DOES NOT FUNCTION WITH THE NORMAL CHATTERING MOVEMENT THAT AN ABS SYSTEM HAS. DRIVER CAN HEAR A SLIGHT HUM AND FEEL NORMAL PEDAL RESISTANCE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS INITIALLY PRESSED, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET, AS IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE BRAKE PADS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SOMEWHERE AROUND A YEAR OLD. TIRES ARE ABOUT 8 MONTHS OLD AND HAVE FULL TREAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 159,000 MILES WITH THE FIRST INCIDENCE OF BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENING SOMEWHERE AROUND 40,000 MILES. I WAS NARROWLY MISSED BY A SEMI TRUCK DRIVER ON FRIDAY MORNING AS I SLID THROUGH A RED LIGHT, ON A WET ROADWAY, WITH MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL WHICH HAD FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS ONLINE. PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I WILL PUT A DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW BUT IT ONLY SIGNIFIES THE LATEST DATE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS BEGAN IN NOVEMBER 2012 AND SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 45 DAYS.

Mileage: 159,000

TAKATA INFLATORS: MY VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR 6 MONTHS AS PART OF THE RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL WHILE WAITING FOR PARTS, BUT SINCE HAVING THE RECALL PARTS INSTALLED MY VEHICLE HAS STARTED HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD PRESSURE. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHANGED AFTER IT SAT FOR 6 MONTHS.

Mileage: 103,000

I HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WHERE THE POWER BRAKES FAILED AND WE WERE FORCED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET THEM TO WORK. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND WAS CONTACTED BY A NHTSA EMPLOYEE. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER HAD SAID IT WAS PERMANENTLY RESOLVED, WHICH I TOLD THE NHTSA EMPLOYEE. THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HIM IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS EVENING. I REPLIED TO THE EMPLOYEE'S EMAIL, HOWEVER THE EMPLOYEE NO LONGER SEEMS TO WORK THERE. IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS BACKING SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON.

Mileage: 80,000

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HIT A POTHOLE. THE BRAKES FELT LOOSE/SPONGY, AND I HAD TO PRESS DOWN ALL THE WAY FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK. I PUMPED THEM A FEW TIMES, AND IT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS RAINING A BIT THE OTHER DAY. I TURNED, AND BRAKES A LITTLE AND FELT THE ABS KICK IN. AFTER THAT, I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. I BEGAN TO BRAKE, BUT HAD TO PRESS DOWN ABOUT HALFWAY TO EVEN BEGIN BRAKING, AND ALL THE WAY TO BRAKE COMPLETELY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN, EVEN WITHOUT RAIN

Mileage: 105,000

1ST INCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR I PUMPED THE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW MY VEHICLE TO MAKE THE TURN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE TO PARK AGAIN I APPLIED BRAKES AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. SECOND INCIDENT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE 1ST WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP BUT INSTANTLY LOST PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING INTO THE INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO BE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING SPORADICALLY. IVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES & HAS COST OVER $1,000 TO POSSIBLY CORRECT THE SITUATION.

Mileage: 175,000

UNEXPECTED INCREASE OF BRAKING DISTANCE. WHEN DOING A K TURN, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP BUT THE CAR CONTINUE TO ROLLS WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO ROLL INTO A CURB. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY BUT INCONSISTENTLY. THE CAR WAS GOING LESS THEN 5 MILES AN HOUR AND TOOK MORE THEN 5 FEET TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY.

Mileage: 130,000

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I CANNOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, IF I PUMP MY BRAKES, MY BRAKES USUALLY WORK LIKE NORMAL BUT TYPICALLY I AM HAVING TO SLAM ON THEM WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME I WANT TO STOP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY STREET OR EVEN TRYING TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY.

Mileage: 92,000

VEHICLE IN MOTION, AT 35-40MPH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE 6-7 CAR LENGTHS TO COME TO A FULL STOP, SLOWLY, WITH NO LOCKING OF TIRES, NO ABS. NO ERROR CODES. SHOP #1 WENT THROUGH BRAKE SYSTEM AND SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE HCU IS BAD. FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE BRAKING DISTANCE, RESPONSE (PEDAL TO THE FLOOR) IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS SO LONG THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP STATES SINCE NO CODES ARE SHOWING, THEY WON'T PHYSICALLY TEST OR WARRANTY THE HCU. THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WITHOUT CODES, AND HAS RESULTED IN AN INVESTIGATION. RECOMMEND SPEEDING UP THAT INVESTIGATION.

Mileage: 152,000

SHORTLY AFTER THE ABS OF THE CAR WAS ACTIVATED ON LOOSE GRAVEL, MY BRAKE PEDAL FADED AND ULTIMATELY WENT TO THE FLOOR FORCING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR TO AVOID GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PEDAL BRAKING POWER IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND THE CAR REPORTS EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. MULTIPLE MESSAGES AND UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE BRAKES". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

WHEN TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOWERS TO FLOOR AND IS SLOW TO STOP THE CAR. CAR CONTINUES TO TRAVEL WITH FOOT ON THE PEDAL. ALL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER ARE STATING THAT BRAKES ARE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO PROBLEMS TO FIX BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT STOP THE CAR. EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PEDAL TO LOWER TO THE FLOOR AND BE SLOW TO STOP THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. PADS ARE GOOD, ROTORS ARE GOOD, BRAKE FLUID GOOD, NO LEAKS, BRAKE LINES ARE GOOD, NO AIR IN LINES, MASTER CYLINDER IS GOOD. ACCORDING TO SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS AND FORD FORUMS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AND FAILURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SO, THE QUESTION IS...WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL?

Mileage: 112,000

WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT AND TRANSITIONING TO A DIRT ROAD, THE HCU UNIT HAS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO HAVE NO BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. I WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAUSED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 7 BUSINESS DAYS WITH NO CONCRETE REPAIR IN SITE. TO DATE THE ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR NOT INCLUDING THE HCU IS $1,500 JUST IN LABOR TO TRY AND FIND THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 210,000

DURING MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE I EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING AND UNANNOUNCED LOSS OF BREAKING POWER. I WAS SIMPLY COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LOST TOTAL BREAK RESPONSE. I NARROWLY MISSED CAUSING A ACCIDENT WITH STOPPED TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING RESPONSIBLY IN A LIGHT DRIZZLE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM TOLD THE ABS MODULE SENSED LOSS OF TRACTION IN AT LEAST ONE TIRE SO IT KICKED ON. THIS ONLY MADE THE SITUATION A PANIC STOP. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BREAKING POWER WAS ONLY ABOUT 10% OF THE NORMAL FEEL. AFTER THIS EVENT THE BREAKS NEVER REGAINED THEIR POWER AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO SERVICE. THE SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THIS IS SOMEWHAT COMMON AND THEY COULD FIX THE ISSUE, $1600 LATER I HAVE A NEW ABS MODULE AND THE BREAKS WORKS BETTER BUT NOT 100% OF WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES SINCE THIS EVENT AND ALL ARE THE SAME ISSUE. THE EVENT WAS SUCH A UNANNOUNCED AND TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE I WILL BE SELLING THE CAR. I AM A 35, PERFECT DRIVING RECORD, DRIVE 20K MILES+ EVERY YEAR AND NEVER EXPERIENCED A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE I WAS HELPLESS. AND KNOWING THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM IS APPALLING.

Mileage: 67,000

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR GO ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR BEFORE THEY ENGAGE. I HAVE BLED THE BRAKES, REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS AND NONE OF THESE ACTIONS RESULTED IN IMPROVED PERFORMANCE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS POSTS THAT THE ABS PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. I AM TROUBLED BY THIS AS MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY SPEED IN ANY CONDITION I.E. DRY, WET, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN LONGER BRAKING DISTANCES AS THE ENGAGEMENT IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE TAKEN NO ACTION WHATSOEVER.

DRIVING DURING A SNOWSTORM,I WENT TO USE THE BRAKES. THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN AND SINCE THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL. MASTER CYLINDER IS GOOD AND BRAKES HAVE BEEN BLED.

Mileage: 138,000

WHILE TURNING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET THE BRAKE PETAL PULSED AS IF THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKES BEING PRESENT. PUMPING THE BRAKES RESTORED A LITTLE OF THE PEDAL PRESSURE. AFTER THAT THE BRAKES REMAINED SPONGY. WE REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLJNDER BUT WERE UNABLE TO GET ANY PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM EVEN AFTER BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINES. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PART THAT CAN FAIL WHILE DRIVING THAT CAN PHYSICALLY TAKE AWAY ALL OF THE BREAK PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM. IN RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF CASES OF PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM WITH THEIR FUSION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THAT ONE OF THE VALVES IN THE ABS CONTROL MODULE CAN STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION CREATING A LOOP IN THE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THE FLUID TO CIRCULATE INSTEAD OF PRESSURIZING THE WHEEL CALIPERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WOULD TAKE TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN KENNEDY FORD OF CONSHOHOCKEN (1403 RIDGE PIKE, CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428, (610) 279-1700) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION'S BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BEGAN GETTING SPONGY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND REMAINED LIKE THAT INDEFINITELY. THE PEDAL WOULD HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR BRAKING PRESSURE TO KICK IN. I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ONE ONE DAY GOING ABOUT 20MPH AND THE BRAKES BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AFTER MULTIPLE DEPRESSES TO SLOW FOR A SPEED BUMP. I ENDED UP STOPPING THE CAR WITH THE HAND BRAKE. THIS WAS ON NOVEMBER 28TH 2018. THE BRAKES HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED MY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE SYSTEM. THAT DID NOTHING. AFTER FURTHER ANALYSIS THEY CONCLUDED IT'S THE ABS ASSEMBLY THAT HAS FAILED - TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THAT AS THE ABS MODULE CAN ONLY BE PROGRAMMED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I WENT IN TO GET A QUOTE, THE NEEDED ABS COMPONENTS WILL RUN ME APPROXIMATELY $1800 NOT INCLUDING LABOR COSTS. OUTRAGEOUS. I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT AND TO TOP IT ALL OF I LOST MY PART-TIME JOB I HAD DUE TO NOT HAVING A CAR TO GO TO WORK. PLEASE IS THEIR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION SE WHERE THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM LITERALLY FAILED WHILE RUNNING MY ERRANDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WHEREBY I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE "HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT" HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. READING ONLINE, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL PROBLEM REGARDING THESE PARTICULAR FORD VEHICLES AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS SINCE THEY COULD NOT STOP PROPERLY IN TIME. IT APPEARS THIS HAS / COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. CARS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP PROPERLY AND A CAR WHOSE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE COULD SERIOUSLY HURT / PERHAPS KILL SOMEONE. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF A NATIONAL RECALL WAS ORDERED BY THE NHTSA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FELT SPONGY AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLED. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FOR DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, OBVIOUSLY PADS AD ROTORS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHILE BRAKING. I DID RESEARCH AND TESTING ON THE CAR AND FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THE CAUSE IS A FAILED ABS PUMP. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE IN FORD FUSIONS AND CAN AND DOES CAUSE COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING LEADING TO ACCIDENTS. THE ABS SYSTEM THAT FORD DESIGNED AND INSTALLED IN THE FUSION HAS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT, IN THAT IF THE ABS PUMP HAS AN INTERNAL LEAK THEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE FLUID IS ALLOWED TO FLOW PASSED THE ABS PUMP, ALLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BAKING IS LIMITED OR NON EXISTENT. PLEASE DO AN INTERNET SEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED AND HAS NOT TRAINED IT TECHNICIANS TO IDENTIFY. MY CHILDREN DRIVE THIS CAR AND I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE BY DRIVING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, PEDAL WILL SOFTLY GO TO THE FLOOR ALL THE WAY AND CAR WILL NOT STOP UNLESS PUMPED A FEW TIMES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER A MONTH WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM LANG AUTOS IN LYNNWOOD, WASHINGTON. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY AND THERE WAS GRAVEL ON THE ROAD WHICH ENGAGED ABS. AS SOON AS ABS WAS ENGAGED BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR HARDLY STOPPED CAUSING ME TO RUN A RED LIGHT. I WAS ALMOST ABOUT TO RUN INTO A PEDESTRIAN. THIS IS A PERMANENT ISSUE AND I HAVE HAD ROTORS BRAKE PADS CALIPERS CHECKED. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES BLED AND TESTED FOR ANY LEAKS. IT CAME OUT NEGATIVE. MASTER CYLINDER WORKS FINE AND THERE IS NO LEAKS IN BRAKE LINE. NO LEAKS IN ANY JOINTS THAT CONNECTS TO MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS MODULE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TESTED AND SEEMS LIKE THE ISSUE COMES FROM ABS MODULE/CONTROLLER THAT MIGHT NEED A REPLACEMENT. IT IS A VERY COSTLY PART PLUS LABOR COSTS ARE HUGE. ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN DIAGNOSING CAUSE AND REPLACING PARTS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO ACTUAL COST.

I WAS DRIVE THROUGH LINE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHEN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED TO 'PUMP IT' AND IT STAYED FLOPPY. I PARKED MY CAR, SET MY E-BRAKE AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, IT WORKED AGAIN. ONE WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH I WENT TO STOP AS I WAS APPROACHING TRAFFIC AND MY BRAKE COMPLETELY FAILED, GOING TO THE FLOOR ONCE AGAIN. I TRIED PUMPING IT AND IT WAS COMPLETE TO RESPONSE LESS. I PULLED MY E-BRAKE AND VEERED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. A MESSAGE ACROSS THE DASH READ 'BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE'. WE TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY, THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, ALL VISUAL COMPUTER CHECKS WERE FINE. THE MECHANIC KEPT IT SEVERAL DAYS AND PUT OVER 30 MILES ON IT WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW AS I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

ABS MODULE SEEMS TO CAUSE RANDOM LOSS OF BRAKING -- VEHICLE STARTS BRAKING NORMALLY, THEN SUDDEN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC AND PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR BEFORE SOME BRAKING RESUMES. IT'S A RELATIVELY INFREQUENT PROBLEM ( FOUR TIMES IN 6 MONTHS) WITH NO APPARENT TRIGGER, AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN PULLING STRAIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT, STOPING FOR A STOPLIGHT, AND TURNING OFF OF A FREEWAY ONTO AN OFF-RAMP. WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING OCCURERENCES WERE DRY AND SUNNY TWICE, RAINING ONCE, AND OVERCAST AND ABOUT 50 DEG F ON THE MOST RECENT (OCT. 10, 2018) OCCASION. AN UNRELATED MATTER HAS TO DO WITH THEIR WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY HAVE A TWO-PART CONSTRIUCTION, AND THE OUTER LAYER SWELLS SO THAT IT CANNOT BE SERVICED USING THE OEM TIRE CHANGING HARDWARE SUPPLIED WITH SPARE TIRE.

I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE ABS CONTROL MODULE, ESSENTIALLY CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHEN DRIVING. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTING. THE ABS 'RESETS' ONLY TO OCCUR AT A LATER DATE AND TIME. THE ABS FAILS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS. BOTH OCCURRENCES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED TO DATE HAVE OCCURRED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES TRAVELING AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED IT AS AN ABS FAILURE WITH A REPAIR COST OF 1645 DOLLARS. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES AND HAS NO HISTORY OF ACCIDENTS OR MAJOR REPAIR.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WHILE DRIVING AND UPON START COMPLETELY LOCKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES KEEP LOCKING WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE CAR TO DRAG, SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. BRAKES HAVE BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND CALIPERS CHANGES WITH SAME RESULTS

WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS VERY SLOW TO STOP. FORD DEALER INFORMED ME IT WAS THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE. IT IS PROCESSED OF BEING REPLACED

AFTER REPLACING FRONT AND BACK BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER, CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF "SOFT" BRAKES. I HAVE TO PUSH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STOP AND DOES NOT STOP ON TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND EPS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED. THE CONTACT, A MECHANIC, CHECKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE, WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR EITHER OPENING OR SHORTING OUT. THE CODE ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION FAILURE AND THE ABS MODULE MAY BE FAULTY. HASSETT FORD-LINCOLN (3530 SUNRISE HWY, WANTAGH, NY 11793, (516) 785-7800) AND FORD LINCOLN OF QUEENS BOULEVARD (139-48 QUEENS BLVD, JAMAICA, NY 11435, (718) 657-8888) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM ANY EPS AND BRAKE RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

VEHICLE SHOWED INTERMITTENT "SERVICE ADVANCETRAK" LIGHT AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO INTO FULL ABS MODE AT LOW SPEED ON SMOOTH, DRY PAVEMENT. THE ABS PART OF THE PROBLEM CAUSED US TO MISS SEVERAL TURNS FOR LACK OF EFFECTIVE BRAKING AND, AT LEAST ONCE, TO END UP FOUR FEET PAST A STOP SIGN AND INTO THE CROSSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE FORD DEALER REPLACED THE L/R ABS SENSOR TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED 9 MONTHS AND THEN 3 MONTHS LATER. THE THIRD TIME, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PERSONALLY OBSERVE THE FINAL AND CORRECT DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BUILDUP OF RUST AND SCALE ON THE SENSOR MOUNTING POINT WHICH HAD GRADUALLY FORCED THE PLASTIC SENSOR FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM NOTCHED SENDER WHEEL UNTIL, EVENTUALLY, THE SENSOR BECAME INTERMITTENT. THE COMPUTER APPARENTLY INTERPRETED THIS AS A LOCKED WHEEL AND THEN WENT INTO FULL ABS MODE. THAT'S WHAT THE REAL MECHANIC SAID, ANYWAY, AND HIS REPAIR HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW (THE R/H SENSOR ALSO WENT INTERMITTENT FOR THE SAME REASON ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS ALSO SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED BY CLEANING UP THE MOUNT AND REINSTALLING THE ORIGINAL 2010 SENSOR). THE FORD DEALER'S MECHANIC APPARENTLY NEVER CLEANED UP THE SURFACE OF THE MOUNT ON EITHER OF HIS REPAIRS. JUST TORQUING DOWN THE NEW SENSOR WAS EVIDENTLY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WORK FOR A WHILE. THIS WOULD NOT BE WORTH BOTHERING YOU OVER BUT FOR THE RANDOM ABS PART WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO BE IN A PRETTY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION (THE STOP SIGN!). I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY OBVIOUS PATTERN OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LIGHT COMING ON AND/OR THE ABS MALFUNCTION. RUST IS A COMMON PROBLEM HERE IN THE NORTHEAST. THE MECHANIC WHO SOLVED THE PROBLEM SAID HE HAS RUN INTO SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CARS. IT MIGHT BE WORTH AT LEAST A SERVICE BULLETIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED, WHICH CAUSED DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE WRENCH AND BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED WITH FORCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY FORD PARMA HEIGHTS (6600 PEARL RD, PARMA HEIGHTS, OH 44130, (440) 888-2600) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER, BRAKES, AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

Mileage: 137,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN APPLIED. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO APPLY FORCE AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME EXTREMELY TIGHT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO SERVICED FOR A MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE OTHER TWO FAILURES PROGRESSED. THE DEALER (WORTHINGTON FORD, 2950 N BELLFLOWER BLVD, LONG BEACH, CA 90815, (562) 420-3333) WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY YET FOR THE THREE FAILURES THAT WERE EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBERS: EA17004 (STEERING) AND PE13003 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAD ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FAILURE. BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY WHEN ABS ACTIVATED DURING BRAKING ' BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO FLOOR ' WITH ONLY FAINT BRAKING POSSIBLE. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ' THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. I TOOK TO DEALER FOR RESOLUTION. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FIRST 2 TIMES. I TOOK TO DEALER THE THIRD TIME ' THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ABS HCU WAS REPLACED. REPAIR COST WAS VERY EXPENSIVE.

Mileage: 110,000

AT RANDOM WHEN I START MY CAR AND APPLY THE BRAKES TO SHIFT THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL ALSO NOT STOP THE CAR EFFECTIVELY FOR A LONG DISTANCE, EVEN AT 20 MPH. THE CONDITION CORRECTS ITS SELF, TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT STOP QUICKLY NO MATTER WHAT. A CAR CUT ME OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE BRAKING ABILITY TO START ABS BRAKING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD. LUCKY WHAT BRAKING POWER I DID HAVE WAS STILL ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR THAT CUT ME OFF.

BRAKE A FAILURE INVESTIGATION 2010 FORD FUSION SE 2.5L I4. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FOD FUSION SE MANUAL TRANSON HIGHWAY. ALERTED BY DASHBOARD THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. WHILE PUTTING NEW FLUID IN, NOTICED A LEAK IN DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. REPAIRED A BROKEN BRAKE LINE & REPLACED CALIPER AT DRIVERS SIDE REAR. COULD NOT GET BRAKE LINES TO BLEED PROPERLY AFTER REPAIR, RESULTING IN MUSHY PEDAL WITH DECREASED BRAKING ABILITY. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND RECEIVED A WORK ORDER STATING THAT IT NEEDS AN ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, ETC... COST OF REPAIRS = $5,000 REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND PASSENGER REAR CALIPER, AS WELL AS BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. ATTEMPT TO BLEED BRAKES EVEN WITH THE KEY IN IGNITION & CAR ON. NO AIR COMING OUT OF BRAKE LINE BUT, BRAKE PEDAL STILL NOT BUILDING PRESSURE AND GOING TO THE FLOOR. FOUND OUT THAT A VALVE IN HCU HAD TENDENCY TO STICK PROVIDING THIS EXACT RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

WHEN DRIVING, PARTICULARLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES FAIL. THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE CAR TO STOP. TWICE IT CAME REALLY CLOSE TO NOT STOPPING AT ALL. THE PADS ARE FINE, MASTER CYLINDER IS FINE AND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS FINE AS WELL. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 10 DAYS, WITH THE LAST FEW DAYS OCCURRING 3-4 TIMES PER DAY.

Mileage: 97,000

BRAKES HAVE ON TWO OCCASIONS GOT WEAKER. WHEN PRESSING ON THE PEDAL, IT WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WAS "MUSHY" FEELING. I'M AN ENGINEER AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE ABS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. I DID SOME TESTING AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT, INCLUDING SOME OFF ROAD DRIVING PUTTING THE CAR INTO SKIDS, ETC. NEITHER COULD MY MECHANIC FIND THE ISSUE. HE HAD HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS WITH 130,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC REPLACED ALL FOUR CALIPERS (NEW SHOES, ETC) AND ENSURED THEY WERE NO STICKING.THESE TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST YEAR.

Mileage: 130,000

BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR. TOOK IN TO FORD DEALER, SAID IT NEEDED AN ABS MODULE. HAD THEM REPLACE THAT, IT WAS ALMOST $1800.00, THEN BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AGAIN AND THEN TOLD US IT NEEDED A NEW BOOSTER, THAT WAS ANOTHER $800.00!! BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AGAIN, THEN TOOK BACK AND SAID CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. CANNOT TRUST DRIVING THIS CAR! SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THESE CARS. THIS IS A COMPANY CAR I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH AND FELT THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDED TO BE REPORTED.

Mileage: 130,000

AFTER THE ABS ENGAGES DUE TO BRAKING ON A SLIPPERY OR BUMPY SURFACE THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL LOSE POWER TO BRAKE THE CAR EFFECTIVELY. THE PEDAL WILL HAVE TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL ONLY SLIGHTLY SLOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY 2 OR 3 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND "PUMPING" THE BRAKES. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A FAULTY HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. A PRIOR EVENT HAPPENED WITH THE SAME RESULT WHEN JUST BEGINNING TO DRIVE ON A FLAT, SMOOTH SURFACE.

Mileage: 120,000

WHEN DRIVING BRAKES BECAME VERY WEAK ALMOST TO THE FLOOR, WE REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH STILL NO GOOD PEDAL. THEN WE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, ONCE IT WAS REPLACED IT WOULD NOT BLEED, AND STILL NO BRAKES. WE CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE FUSIONS WERE DIFFICULT TO BLEED ONCE MASTER CYLINDERS WERE REPLACED. WE SENT IT OUT FOR DIAGNOSTICS AT THE FORD DEALER AND WERE CHARGED $98.00. THEY CALLED AND SAID THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE BLEED BEFORE THEY COULD GIVE US AN EXACT ANSWER OF WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $100. THEY CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID IT NEEDED A MASTER CYLINDER. WE TOLD THEM WE JUST HAD REPLACED IT. THEY SAID MAYBE IT WAS A FAULTY PART, SO WE PICKED UP THE CAR EXCHANGED THE PART AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY OTHER THING IT COULD BE WAS THE HCU AND THAT WAS ABOUT $1600 TO CHANGE. SO 2 TOW BILLS, AND $200 LATER WE STILL HAVE NO BRAKES. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WE HAVE SEEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSIONS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ! LOSING BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS ! I WOULD LIKE A FORD REP TO CONTACT ME !

I WAS BRAKING ACROSS ROUGH (EXPERIENCE 1: MARCH 2017) AND ICY (EXPERIENCE 2: DECEMBER 2017) TERRAIN WHEN MY ABS REACTED TO THE SITUATION. AFTER BOTH EXPERIENCES, MY BRAKES BECAME "SQUISHY" AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET A COMPLETE IMMEDIATE STOP. IT TOOK LONGER TO BRAKE, AND I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK, AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE SQUISHY BRAKES REMAINED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET A FULL COMPLETE STOP NOW IS TO PUMP THE BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY AS I AM BRAKING. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE ABS PUMP GOES OFF, THE OPEN VALVE GETS STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE PUMP. PUMPING THE PEDAL HELPS, BUT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 80,000

IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT, MY BRAKES GO SOFT AND SPONGY ANY TIME THE ABS GETS ACTIVATED. AFTERWARD, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET ANY BRAKING. IF I PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES, IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY GOES SPONGY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A COLLOSAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS SEVERAL TIMES BY BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINE AND CHANGING OUT ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID, ALL TO NO AVAIL. ON SEVERAL FORD FORUMS, IT IS ALLEGEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. I AM GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED, BUT FORD HASN'T SEEN FIT TO ISSUE A RECALL YET.

FOLLOWING A BRAKING EVENT THAT ENGAGED THE ABS SYSTEM, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT OR SPONGY. AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL FULLY A FEW TIMES, THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE. ANOTHER ABS EVENT OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND THIS TIME DEPRESSING THE PEDAL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SOFT BRAKE FEELING HAS PERSISTED FOR WEEKS. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS INITIALLY A SMALL AND BRIEF DECELERATION OF THE CAR, FOLLOWED BY AT LEAST 1 INCH OF BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO CAUSE ANY FURTHER BRAKING. FINALLY, WHEN THE PEDAL IS ALMOST FULLY DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES ENGAGE AND THE CAR DECELERATES. THE RESISTANCE FELT IN THE DURING THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO CHANGE AS THE CAR WARMS UP, OR AS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CHANGES. THE RESULT IS THAT BRAKES FEEL UNRELIABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE EVERY TIME THEY ENGAGE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM BEING INVESTIGATED AS A PART OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE16017.

WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO FULLY ENGAGE BRAKES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DECELERATION BECAUSE THE PEDAL RESISTANCE CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE OF BRAKING, OFTEN INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE. WHEN IN MOTION AND DECELERATING, THE BRAKE PEDAL RESISTANCE WILL SUDDENLY BECOME SOFTER AND THE CAR WILL STOP DECELERATING UNLESS I PRESS THE PEDAL IN FARTHER. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WILL BECOME SOFT AND THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ROLL FORWARD UNINTENTIONALLY. I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. THIS ISSUE WORRIES ME WHEN I AM DRIVING IN AREAS WITH MANY STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

THE BRAKES IN MY FORD FUSION 2010 HAVE BEEN GOING LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM SUDDENLY I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. TWO MECHANICS TOLD ME IT'S A FAULTY ABS PUMP. I PARKED MY CAR BECAUSE I'M AFRAID I WOULD KILL MYSELF IF I DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S OCCURRING WITH A LOT OF FUSION OWNERS.

PARKING BRAKE FREEZES IN SNOWY WEATHER WHEN APPLIED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE. REPORTED TO DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY "FIXED" IT BUT IT STILL FREEZES. ONLY WAY TO FREE IT IS TO DRIVE AND CAUSE HEAT BUILD UP FREE THE BRAKE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD IN SNOWY CONDITIONS BECAUSE ONLY ONE REAR WHEEL IS LOCKED DOWN WHICH WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SKID SIDEWAYS WHILE TRYING TO GET THE BRAKE RELEASED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND NOW I JUST DON'T USE THE BRAKE WHICH CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PARKING ON HILLS.

THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER/HYDRAULIC PUMP AND CONTROL MODULE BECAME FAULTY AND FAILED AT ROUGHLY 43000 MILES. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY A PART THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH THIS FEW MILES AND WAS SUSPICIOUS WHEN HE CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY HAD OVER 10 IN STOCK. HE INFORMED ME THAT IN HIS 20+ YEARS HE HAS NOT SEEN DEALERS HAVE THAT MANY HIGH DOLLAR PARTS IN STOCK AND ADVISED I FILE A CLAIM WITH FORD MOTOR. I DID FILE A CLAIM WITH FORD MOTOR BUT WAS ADVISED THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY WIDER ISSUES WITH THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER/HYDRAULIC PUMP AND CONTROL MODULE ON MY MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. FORD MOTOR CASE NUMBERS- CAS-8423129 AND CAS-8428833 I NOTICED THAT MY MASTER BREAK CYLINDER FAILED WHEN I STARTED MY CAR ONE MORNING AND THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

IN AUG. 2010, WHILE LEAVING HOME ON OUR CANYON ROAD, AND ON A DOWNHILL INCLINE, I STOPPED WITHOUT INCIDENT TO LET A COUPLE OF CARS PASS ON A NARROW STRETCH. AFTER THEY PASSED I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND SLOWLY (10-15MPH) ROLLED INTO A 90 DEGREE DOWNHILL TURN. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. I QUICKLY PUMPED THE STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESULTS. I HAD ONLY 2-3 SECONDS TO REACT AND AS I BEGAN TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TURN I JERKED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND RODE AN EARTHEN BANK UP AND OVER A BOULDER THAT STOPPED THE CAR. THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS BADLY DAMAGED, TOTALING THE CAR. HAD I GONE STRAIGHT ANOTHER 4 FEET, I WOULD HAVE GONE OFF OF A CLIFF AND ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS ALWAYS PERFECTLY SERVICED AND HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY. FORD DID NOT RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT.

AS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED DOZENS OF TIMES ON SEVERAL WEBSITES, I TOO, LIKE OTHERS, EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE BY MY 2010 FORD FUSION. LIKE OTHER DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS, I TOO FOUND THAT, IN A SITUATION WHERE SUDDEN BRAKING IS REQUIRED, I EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. NORMAL BRAKING ON ROADS AND STREETS HAS NOT RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE FOR ME; HOWEVER, IN THE ONE SITUATION WHERE SUDDEN BRAKING WAS REQUIRED, MY 2010 FORD FUSION -- FULLY SERVICED SOLELY AND REGULARLY (EACH ~5000 MILES) BY FORD SERVICE TECHNICIANS SINCE ITS PURCHASE NEW IN 2009, NOW AT 81,000 MILES -- I EXPERIENCED: 1) NO BRAKING, 2) NO SLOWING DOWN, 3) NO FRONT-END-OF-THE-VEHICLE-DIVING-DOWN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED (INERTIA), 4) NO SKID MARKS ON THE DRY PAVEMENT -- JUST UTTER AND COMPLETE FAILURE BY THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION AS I DROVE AROUND A BUILDING (15-20 MPH) AND SUDDENLY SAW, BRAKED, & HIT A STATIONARY PICK-UP TRUCK ON THE ROAD. AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH, UPON ATTACHING THE 2010 FORD FUSION WITH CHAINS, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER MENTIONED THAT HE SAW BRAKE FAILURE. FOLLOWING THE CRASH, I HAD A MECHANIC GO WITH ME TO THE SALVAGE YARD WHERE MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE 2010 FORD FUSION TOWED; THE MECHANIC DID A 15-20 MINUTE INSPECTION, WITH A SALVAGE YARD EMPLOYEE WATCHING, WHICH INDICATED THAT, YES, INDEED, THE BRAKES HAD FAILED BEFORE THERE WAS THE COLLISION (THE AREA OF COLLISION ON THE FRONT RIGHT DESTROYED THE ABS AREA). WHILE THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY DEFICIENCIES IN THE BRAKE LINES, WHICH WERE CHECKED REGULARLY BY THE FORD SERVICE TECHNICIANS, THERE WAS FAILURE INVOLVING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AT THE TIME OF SUDDEN BRAKING. RATHER THAN BEING DRY OR DUSTY, THE MBC WAS COVERED COMPLETELY IN GOO. NOT A SIGN OF SAFETY OR PROPERLY-WORKING PARTS. DESPITE THESE TRUTHS, MY INSURANCE COMPANY TELLS ME I HAVE TO PAY, SINCE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. WHY NOT YET??? *TR

I PARK ON AN INCLINE SO I NORMALLY SET MY PARKING BRAKE FOR SAFETY REASONS. NOVEMBER 2014, TEMPERATURES HAD DIPPED BELOW FREEZING AND I WENT TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE TO GO TO WORK, AND I COULD TELL THAT IT DID NOT RELEASE ALL THE WAY. AS I WAS DRIVING I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS HOLDING ME BACK BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. MADE IT TO THE STOP LIGHT LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE SEIZED UP ENTIRELY. IT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO DO A BURNOUT AND IT HAD THE WORST SMELL. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED. AS THEY WERE WORKING ON IT ALL THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS THAT THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD HAD WORN DOWN TO NOTHING AND WAS GRINDING ON MY ROTOR. CHANGED BRAKE PADS AND THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AFTER DROPPING ABOUT $400 ON THE REPAIR. NOT EVEN TWO DAYS LATER THE TEMPS DIPPED BELOW FREEZING AND THE PARKING BRAKE STUCK AGAIN. FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS I DID NOT USE MY PARKING BRAKE AND HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ONLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HAD DIPPED BELOW FREEZING. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 2015, PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT BEEN USED BUT RIGHT REAR BRAKE HAS SEIZED UP, YET AGAIN, THE PAST TWO DAYS AS THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN BELOW FREEZING. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN FEAR OF THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILING AND CAUSING A COLLISION. I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

AFTER INSTALLING, I NOTICED THE ROTOR ON THE RIGHT REAR HAD A LARGE CRACK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE ROTOR JUST UNDER WHERE THE PAD HITS THE ROTOR. IT IS ALMOST CRACKED ALL AROUND. I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT TO ME, THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY; THESE ROTORS WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE FOR 48,000 MILES.

IT IS THE TYPICAL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT. IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL COMPLETELY OUT ON THE MAIN ROAD. OCCASIONALLY, I COULD TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE ME A FEW MORE MILES BEFORE STALLING OUT AGAIN. CAR WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY "JUMP" LIKE IT WAS MISSING GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SPEED WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. I BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY FOR ABOUT $400 I THINK IN SEPTEMBER 2012 AND WITHIN A YEAR IT WAS ALREADY DOING THE SAME THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE. I JUST RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FORD IN THE MAIL AND WILL GET A REFUND FOR MY PREVIOUS EXPENSE ON A NEW THROTTLE BODY. IT PRETTY MUCH SEEMS LIKE A RECALL BUT WITHOUT ACTUALLY SAYING IT IS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN BUT IF SO THEN PLEASE DO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR WITH A SHORT SHELF LIFE. I ALMOST GOT BLASTED FROM MY SIDE TWICE BECAUSE I WOULD BE TURNING OFF A 4 LANE ROUTE WITH PLENTY OF DISTANCE FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD STALL.

THE PARKING BRAKE FREEZES IN FREEZING WEATHER. YOU CAN STILL LOWER (RELEASE) THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE, THE WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH WOULD GO OFF, BUT THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE STAYS ENGAGED. THIS LEAVES THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKE HAS BEEN RELEASED WHEN IN FACT IT HASN'T. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THIS PAST WINTER. THE CAR FELT SLUGGISH AS IF IT WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING. ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING WE SMELLED A BURNT SMELL AND HEARD A METAL POPPING NOISE FROM THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL. WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE WAS BURNING HOT, THE BURNT SMELL WAS VERY STRONG, AND IT CONTINUED TO MAKE THE METAL POPPING NOISE AS IT WAS EXPANDING DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE.

HOWEVER, THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE DID NOT DISENGAGE. INSTEAD, A LOUD GRINDING SOUND OCCURRED. THE BRAKE EVENTUALLY DISENGAGED, BUT BY THIS TIME, THE BRAKE ROTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT. THIS HAD OCCURRED ONE TIME PREVIOUSLY, ALSO ON A COLD DAY WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE RIGHT REAR ROTOR HAD OVERHEATED AND BEEN DAMAGED. PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED.

THE LEFT ROTOR WAS COOL ENOUGH THAT I COULD PLACE A HAND ON IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN MOMENTARILY TOUCH THE RIGHT ROTOR. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I HAD NOT ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, AS THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED.

WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BELOW FREEZING THE PARKING BRAKE FREEZES - YOU CAN RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE AND THE PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF BUT THE PARKING BRAKE STAYS ENGAGED WITH THE DRIVER UNKNOWING THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT RELEASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE OF THE PARKING BRAKE BEING ENGAGED UNTIL THE BRAKES GET SO HOT THAT SMOKE BEGINS TO POUR FROM THE REAR WHEELS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS CAUSING A FIRE FROM ALL THE HEAT. ALSO WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT RELEASE AND YOU APPLY THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND THE SAME AS WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
