2007 Ford Fusion complaints

THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH MY 2007 FUSION BRAKES OCCURRED JUNE 23, 2016. I WAS GOING DOWN A SIDE STREET NEAR MY HOME ABOUT 20 MPH IN THE DAY TIME WHEN I NOTICED A WOMAN TUMBLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM HER BICYCLE. I STOPPED SUDDENLY TO AVOID RUNNING OVER HER. I STOPPED TO HELP HER BUT AFTERWARDS AS I CONTINUED ON MY WAY I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE VERY SQUISHY. I HAD TO PRESS EXTRA HARD AT EACH INTERSECTION TO GET THEM TO STOP. I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED AT BRAKES PLUS. I WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE BRAKES FLUSHED.

BETWEEN 55-65K THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT/MUSHY AND SPORADICALLY WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR/FIREWALL WHEN TRYING TO STOP; SOMETIMES ROLLING THROUGH A STOP SIGN OR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT FIRST, IT WAS SPORADIC; THEN, THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE PUMPED EVERY TIME BEFORE STOPPING OR THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO TRAVEL AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR/FIREWALL. EVENTUALLY PUMPING THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I HAD A MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO BRAKES AT ALL THAT WOULD GO RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD NEW ROTORS AND PADS INSTALLED AND BLED THE BRAKES BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING AND DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM I BOUGHT AND INSTALLED A USED HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FROM THE IDENTICAL MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL AS MY CAR. I COULD NOT AFFORD A NEW UNIT AT $880.00 DOLLARS PLUS TAX AND DEALER INSTALLATION $$$$. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE AFTER THE USED HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WAS INSTALLED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK BREAKING EVENT A VALVE IN THE UNIT REMAINS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND CAUSES THE SOFT BREAKING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN GARNERS FERRY IN COLUMBIA, SC ON A RAINY DAY IN JUNE, TOWARDS WHERE IT TURNS INTO DEVINE ST., AND AS I PASSED THE TARGET (SHOPPES AT WOODHILL, 6090 GARNERS FERRY RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29209) I STARTED ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE ROAD IS DOWNHILL. AS I STARTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO BE SLOWING. I TOOK A SECOND TO GLANCE DOWN AND MAKE SURE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE. I WAS SO I PANICKED AND STARTED STOMPING THE BRAKE. I FELT THE CAR SHAKING AND VIBRATING THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED BUT I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR BEFORE REAR-ENDING AN SUV AT FULL SPEED IN MY FORD FUSION ON THE GARNERS FERRY/DEVINE ST. AND ROSEWOOD/WILDCAT RD. INTERSECTION. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED TOTALING OVER $1,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN COLUMBIA, SC ON DEVINE ST. DECEMBER 6, 2016, IT STARTED RAINING. I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT ME INDICATE THEY WERE GOING TO TURN SO I TRIED TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL TOUCHED THE FLOOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING. I STARTED TO SLIDE, AND BEFORE MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MOMENTS LATER THE CAR BEHIND ME COLLIDED INTO THE REAR OF MY CAR,

ON JUNE 29, 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 13 TOWARDS HIGHWAY 71 IN OHIO NEAR BELLVILLE. I BEGAN TO ATTEMPT TO STOP AT THE SECOND STOP LIGHT BEFORE THE HIGHWAY PASSED OVER 13 AND MY BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. I HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE BRAKE FAILURE FOR THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES AND WANTED TO HELP. I WAS SITED FOR THE ACCIDENT, BUT MY BRAKES WERE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. I NEVER HAD CONTACT WITH THE WOMAN I HIT BECAUSE MY CAR ROLLED THROUGH BOTH INTERSECTIONS, I HAD TO USE THE GRASS MEDIAN TO SLOW THE CAR BEFORE USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. THE CAR ROLLED ABOUT 1,600 FT BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. I CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION WITH TIME AS I NOW LIVE IN TEXAS.

MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING WITH IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WHEN I BRAKE THE CAR'S BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND SO I REAR ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I EVEN TRIED TO AVOID THE VEHICLE BY GOING OUTSIDE THE LANE, BUT BRAKES DELAYED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016, BUT THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE AND A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS CAR FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS WITH A HAZARDOUS AIRBAG AND 6 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE... THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING OR AFTER BRAKING QUICKLY AND HARD, BRAKE PRESSURE/RESISTANCE IS LOST--NOT COMPLETELY, BUT DISARMINGLY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES ONCE TO FEEL MORE PRESSURE/RESISTANCE. MY FUSION HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I'M PRETTY SURE I REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF HARROLD FORD IN SACRAMENTO CA YEARS AGO AND THAT I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES FUNCTION AS THEY SHOULD. GIVEN THAT REPLY, I ASSUMED THAT THIS IS A SIDE EFFECT OF ABS BRAKES. I AM REPORTING THIS COMPLAINT NOW BECAUSE OF THE RECENT MEDIA REPORTS THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT.. THE DATE SHOWN IN "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED. IT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE 10+ YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR. THE CAR IS OWNED BY MY EMPLOYER, CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU FEDERATION. *TR

ABS FAILED TO STOP MY CAR.

BRAKE PEDAL WILL RANDOMLY GO TO THE FLOOR, LOSING ALL BRAKE CONTROL. WHEN PEDAL IS PUMPED, I REGAIN BRAKES, BUT HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS. IT USUALLY DOES IT WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LOCAL FORD DEALER FOUND NO BRAKE PROBLEMS WHEN INSPECTED.

BRAKES ARE MUSHY AFTER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, MONTHS AGO, AND THE MUSHY FEELING WENT AWAY IN A FEW DAYS. THE PROBLEM JUST HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL MUSHY A DAY LATER. THE FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO SNOW ON THE ROAD. THE SECOND TIME DUE TO MOSS AND RAIN ON A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY ON A STEEP HILL.

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE CITY. HE WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AT SLOW SPEED AND AS SOON AS HE CAME OFF THE SPEED BUMP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. HE GOT OUT AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS OR OTHER PROBLEMS AND FOUND NONE. HE TESTED THE BRAKES DRIVING SLOWLY AND THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE, SO HE DROVE IT HOME. WE HAD IT CHECKED BY OUR MECHANIC BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE.

I WANTED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 8/07 AND HAVE HAD A FEW MECHANICS CHECK THE BRAKES. IF I HIT MY BRAKES GOING OVER A BUMP THEY WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. MOST TIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE HOURS FOR THE BRAKES TO RETURN TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS; WITH THE LAST ONE HITTING THE BRAKES AND NOT KNOWING A BUMP WAS THERE, I HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES HAS BEEN GOING ON CONTINUOUS . RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FOR TARKATA AIRBAGS STILL NOT HAD THEM REPAIRED

THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS MODULE AND ABS PUMP, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD THIS MORNING AT 40 MPH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO DECELERATE NORMALLY OR COMPLETELY STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I PUMPED THE BRAKES FEVERISHLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND HIT THE FLOOR QUICKLY. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN SO EARLY IN THE MORNING, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO SLOW MY SPEED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND TURN RIGHT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED BEFORE ON THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY, INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO WET, SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. I NOW FEEL SOMETHING IS TRULY WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

AFTER CHANGING ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD ALL AROUND ON VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR . CAR WILL STOP BUT NOT WITHOUT SOME ADDITIONAL PUMPING AND ALLOWING MORE TIME TO STOP

THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS 12/16/2016. AFTER ABS ENGAGES FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, BRAKES GO SOFT AND THERE IS NO BRAKING POWER UNTIL THE FLOOR, WHEN THEY FINALLY ACTIVATE. PUMPING THE BRAKE ITSELF A FEW TIMES CAN TEMPORARILY HARDEN THE BRAKES. WHAT FIXED IT THE PREVIOUS YEAR [UNTIL ANOTHER ABS EVENT] WAS DOING A FEW HARD EMERGENCY STOPS AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS IS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF TO DO IS TAKE THIS TO A DEALER EVERY TIME IT ACTIVATES AND HAVE THEM BLEED THE ABS/BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS INTO THE DEALER, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, IT'S THE HCU UNIT THAT IS LEAVING A VALVE OPEN. BRAKES HARDEN UP AGAIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND PUT IN PARK. AGAIN, THERE IS VERY LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER UNTIL WELL AFTER THE PEDAL IS NEARLY FULLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD DATED JULY 2016 REGARDING A SAFETY RECAL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH IS LESTER GLENN FORD 900NJ-35 OCEAN TOWNSHIP, NJ 07712 732-201-2167 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY TOLD ME THE PART (AIRBAG) WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS IT WAS IN STOCK. I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES AND I CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. ITS BEEN 5 MONTHS! I WORK FOR A LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND ALL THE CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME AIRBAG ISSUE HAVE BEEN GIVEN RENTAL CARS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR SAFETY AND THOSE EFFECTED ARE GETTING THEIR AIRBAG FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. WHY ISNT FORD DOING SOMETHING, I MEAN ITS NOT A BROKEN RADIO OR NAVIGATION ERROR, ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME!

AFTER HITTING THE BRAKES AND ENGAGING THE ABS SYSTEM, THE BRAKES HAVE NOW GONE "SOFT" AS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAS NOT RESET ITSELF AND THE BACKSIDE VALVE REMAINS OPEN. I NOW MUST PRESS THE BRAKES ABOUT 90% OF THE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR EVERY TIME IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP APPROPRIATELY. AFTER SOME BASIC RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 07 AND 08 FORD FUSIONS. THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIGURE OUT A SURE FIX AND ANY SUGGESTED FIX IS VERY COSTLY WITH NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS???? VERY UNSAFE!!

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED MY 1ST RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD DATED JULY 2016. AUG 24, 2016 I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE UNDER PRODUCTION AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE 4TH QUARTER 2016. I CALLED FORD 10/18/2016 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE STILL ENGINEERING THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS. I WAS GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION IN AUGUST, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED IF FORD IS DOING ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THIS. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGER, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR, AND IT IS HARD TO PAY FOR THE NEW CAR. MEANWHILE I CANNOT SELL THE FORD BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. SO PLEASE BE HONEST WITH ME, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL?
