TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECIEVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION IN JUNE OF 2016. THE DEALER (LIBERTY FORD LINCOLN CANTON, LLC, 1423 TUSCARAWAS ST W, CANTON, OH 44702) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EVERY TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS. I LOSE ALL BRAKING ABILITY FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO TO NO MORE THAN FIVE SECOND PERIODS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SIX TOTAL OCCASIONS ON DIFFERENT DAYS AND MONTHS.I HAVE REPLACED MY VEHICLES MASTER CYLINDER SIX MONTHS AGO. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR. I HAVE WITNESSES THAT CAN CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON HIGHWAYS, PUBLIC ROADS, ALSO IN PRIVATE DRIVES.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE VIA US MAIL TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE? WHAT IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN AND THERE IS NO AIR BAG TO DEFLAT? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 6 MONTHS NOW.

THERE IS A HUMP IN MY DASH FROM THE AIR BAG, GOT A LETTER FROM THEM SAYING IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT AS I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS. I FEEL FORD HAS HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO FIX THIS. REALLY??? MAKE MY HUSBAND AND SON HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT???? I HAVE GROWN VERY TIRED OF LOOKING AT HUMP ON DASH FROM DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. IT IS TIME MY CAR WAS FIXED!!!!!!!!! THE HUMP BELOW AIRBAG ON DASH JUST POPPED UP GOING DOWN THE ROAD - IT WAS NEITHER EXTREMELY HOT OR COLD.

TAKATA RECALL - I REPORTED THIS ISSUE ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO. I THE DASHBOARD IS COMPROMISED, BUCKLING UPWARDS. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 NOTICES, NOTHING PERTAINING TO A REPAIR. FORD HAS BEEN NO HELP AND I HAVE FEARED FOR 4 YEARS THIS BAG INADVERTENTLY GOING OFF.

TAKATA RECALL: FIRST NOTICE JUNE 2016; STILL WAITING. IT IS GOING ON 2 YEARS. DEALER LACKS PARTS. ALL NEW CARS HAVE AIRBAGS. WHERE ARE THE SPARES FOR THE RECALL?

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING ON A BACK ROAD. HAD TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO GET TO STOP. TOOK TO FORD DEALER WHO REPORTED NO LEAKS BUT INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ABS AND ABS HCU. SAID IT HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY WITH THIS MODEL. ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE EXPENSIVE ABS MODULES. FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2008 AND 2009 FORD FUSIONS. THERE SHOULD PROBABLY BE A RECALL. DEALER DID NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING ABS MODULES AT THIS TIME SAID CONSIDERED VEHICLE SAFE.

ON 2/3/2017 I BOUGHT A 2008 FORD FUSION SEL,,FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP AN,ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WHILE DRIVING A LADY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AN WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY MY BREAKS THEY WENT ABOUT A INCH OR SO FROM THE FLOOR BOARD,WAS A VERY SCARY FEELING,THAT I PRAY NEVER HAPPEN'S AGAIN! AFTER BARELY MISSING I PUMPED THE BREAKS FOR A FEW MINUTES,THEN PEDDLE MIGHT OF BEEN ABOUT 3 TO 4 INCHES FROM THETHE FLOOR. I CALLED THE USED CAR DEALER THE NEXT MORNING TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED ,AN HE TRIED TO TELL ME IT JUST NEEDS NEW BREAK PADS AND BREAKS BLEED !. I REPLIED BACK TO HIM THAT BREAKS DONT GO FROM WORKING 1 MINUTE AN THE NEXT MINUTE TO THE FLOOR,AN I MENTIONED BEFORE THE PADS ARE THAT GONE I WOULD OF HEARD A METAL RUBBING SOUND,HE STILL INSISTED I TAKE IT TO HIS MECHANIC WHICH STILL PUT PADS ON AN BLEED THE BREAKS,WHICH DIDNT FIX,AFTER I CAME AN TO GET IT I ASKED IF IT WAS THE MASTER BREAK CYLINDER OR BOOSTER,AN HE REPLYED THAT HE JUST HAD TO PUT PADS ON IT AN BLEED THE BREAKS,.AN HE SUPPOSE TO BE A MECHANIC I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,AND HE SAID ITS READY TO GO,SO I DID A COUPLE BLOCKS AN THE BREAKS WERE THE SAME ,SO I WENT BACK TELLIG HIM THAT THE BREAKS ARE STILL GOING TO THE FLOOR SO HE SAYS HE ASKED TO DRIVE IT HE DID AN CAME BACK SAID ITS OK NOW,THAT I JUST NEED TO PUMP THE BREAKS ON IT BECAUSE IT HAD ABS BREAK SYSTEM THAT NEEDED PUMPED UP AWHILE.THATS WHEN I SAID LIKE IM GOING TO HAVE TIME TO PUMP BREAKS WHEN SOMEONE PULLS IN FRONT OF ME OR STOPS FAST! SO I LEFT AGAIN PRAYING THE B

? WAS THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED A FORD FUSION 2008 ON 2/3/2017 FROM HIM ?

SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE AFTER APPLYING BRAKES ON DAMP PAVEMENT. SPEED WAS ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. AFTER PUMPING PEDAL, BRAKES RETURNED BUT PEDAL WAS SOFT AND NEARLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. BRAKES HAVE REMAINED SOFT GREATLY EXTENDING BRAKING DISTANCE MAKING VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FORD TECHNICIAN, THE OPINION WAS POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE AND NEEDED TO BE FOLLOWED UP. THIS INCIDENT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL WITH A UTILITY POLE AND THANKS TO A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE AND QUICK THINKING, AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH A POSSIBLE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONTACTED DEALER 3TIMES IN THE LAST 1 1/2 YEARS. DEC 2017 SAID DO NOT USE PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL FIXED WE'LL STILL NOT FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD DEALER DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX. IT HAS BEEN SINCE JULY 2016 THAT I WAS NOTIFIED OF RECALL. DEALER CLAIMS THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX.IT IS NOW MARCH 2018. DANGEROUS. HAS CAUSED DEATHS.

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS FARTHER DOWN BEFORE STOPPING ...

WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 72 IN VONORE TN AREA AND SLOWED DOWN TO TURN LEFT -BRAKES DIDN'T "GRAB" AND CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE DON'T LOSE ALL BRAKE BUT DOWN TO LIKE 10%. NEVER RETURNS TO NORMAL UNLESS I FIND A PARKING LOT TO REVERSE AND THEN SLAM ON BRAKES HARD - WAS TOLD TO DO THIS BY BRAKE MECHANIC.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS VERY OLD (JUNE 2016) AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. ARE THERE ANY INTERIM FIXES THAT CAN BE USED? ARE THERE ANY ESTIMATES ON WHEN THIS RECALL WILL BE ABLE TO BE RESOLVED ON MY VEHICLE? WHAT ARE MY LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES IF I PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO PEOPLE?

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES ARE VERY "SPONGY". WHEN TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY I ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION! THE PEDAL WENT PRACTICALLY ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE TO PREPARE MYSELF TO STOP WHEN I NEED TO AND I STAY A DISTANCE AWAY FROM OTHERS BECAUSE I AM SCARED THE BRAKES WON'T STOP ME! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THIS IS SO SCARY AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE!

MY DASHBOARD IS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. IT IS GETTING SO BAD THAT NOW IT IS SEPARATING FROM WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS AT. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT I HAVE IN THE PASSENGER DOOR AN IMPLODED AIRBAG THAT HAS CAUSED A BUBBLE IN MY DOOR. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY FORM OF ACCIDENTS FOR EITHER OF THESE ITEMS TO OCCUR. AS FOR MY AIRBAG THAT HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR 21/2 YEARS AND HAS YET TO BE HANDLED, YET MY BROTHER IN LAW AND MY COUSIN HAVE BOTH HAD THEIR CARS FIXED (NOT FORDS) WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

BEEN EXPERIENCING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE (E.G., RUNNING UP ON VEHICLES AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS). TWO DAYS AGO, WIFE UNABLE TO STOP IN PARKING SPACE - RAN UP AND OVER THE STOP-BLOCK. I CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND BRAKE PEDAL MOVES SLOWLY TO FLOOR UNDER CONSTANT FOOT PRESSURE. DEALER SAYS HCU NEEDS REPLACING.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHICH ENGAGED THE ABS. AFTER ABS ENGAGED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME MUCH LOOSER, WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ALMOST TOUCH THE FLOOR AND REQUIRED MUCH LONGER DISTANCE FOR THE CAR TO STOP FOLLOWING THIS EVENT. IT APPEARS THIS FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS DUE TO THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAUSING FOR VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS IN THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED IN JUNE 2016 THAT THERE MIGHT BE A RISK OF HARM DUE TO PASSENGER AIRBAG. I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING IT REPLACED. I JUST CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE PART BECOMES AVAILABLE I WILL BE NOTIFIED. THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG AND I AM SO NERVOUS ABOUT MY PASSENGERS SAFETY MY KIDS ARE NOT ABLE TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

TAKATA RECALL - HAS BEEN ABOUT 18 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT A MONTH AGO THAT THE PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018 AND STATED NOT TO HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT WHICH IS PLACING A HARDSHIP ON MY FAMILY BECAUSE QUITE OFTEN I NEED TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HER THAT THEY HAD FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. AS PART OF THE INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A BRAKING TEST WHERE HE DROVE THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES HARD. FOLLOWING THEIR DOING THIS, THE BRAKES ARE MUSHY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO STOP.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO ON MY AIRBAG. AFTER A YEAR THEY ARE STILL TELLING ME THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND YOU CAN NOW SEE WHERE IT IS STARTING TO DEFLATE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. NOW MY DASH IS DEFORMED AND A PART OF THE AIRBAG IS VISIBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!! I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT BUT I REFUSE TO PAY ANYTHING DUE TO IT BEING A RECALL. THEY NEED TO FIX MY AIRBAG AND MY DASH FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK THEY PRETTY MUCH TELL ME I AM CRAZY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT MESS THE DASH UP. PLEASE HELP!!!!

TAKATA RECALL WAITING FOR A PART FOR ALMOST 2 YEAR. IF SAFETY ISSUE WHY THE DELAY? FORD TELLS ME TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE THE SOLUTION.

BRAKE PEDAL FADE. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN PANIC TYPE REFLEXES. HAVE HAD ISSUES NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IN ALLOTTED TIME. HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT SEEMED TO HAVE "CORRECTED" ITSELF. RECENTLY HAVE HAD SNOWY, WET ROAD CONDITIONS AND ISSUE HAS COME BACK. VERY UNSAFE, COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH. READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED FOR BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK, NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS IN THE FORD, BUT ALSO FOR ANY VEHICLES AND/OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE AREA WHEN BRAKE PEDAL FAILS. MILEAGE ON SAID VEHICLE IS 142,977. NOT SURE OF DATE WHEN FIRST HAPPENED. PEDAL FADE WHEN AT STOP, TRYING TO STOP, CITY ROADS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BASICALLY ANYTIME BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED.

UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP, THE BRAKES FAILED AND IT TOOK EXTENDED DISTANCE TO STOP CREATING A HAZARDOUS EVENT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. SINCE EVENT OCCURRED, THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY AND IT TAKES EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE TO STOP. AFTER RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS I WAS INFORMED IT IS THE ABS MODULATOR FAILING. I CALLED FORD TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF THE COMPLAINTS, BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE GIRL I SPOKE TO SUGGESTED GOING TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS TEST PERFORMED. SHE ALSO KEPT RESTATING THE AIRBAG ISSUE. I REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. SHE RESPONDED SAYING SHE WOULD TRANSFER ME, HOWEVER, SHE JUST REDIRECTED ME TO THE MAIN MENU.

TAMARA INFLATORS WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR

I FINALLY GOT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPLACED IN THE FORD FUSION AFTER LIVING WITH 'SOFT BRAKES' FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN AN ABS EVENT OCCURS, THE PEDAL GOES SOFT IMMEDIATELY AFTER, AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. FORD SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THIS DEFECT BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT.

AFTER AN ABS BRAKING EVENT THE BRAKES BECOME SOFT AND HIT FLOOR, GREATLY INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE AND FORCE NEEDED TO BREAK AND SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE CAR. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION "PE 16-017"

IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 MY BREAK PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN'S PRESSED. IT WOULD BREAK AFTER I PUMPED MY BREAKS BUT BREAKING WAS STILL COMPROMISED. I REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED MY BREAKS, CHECKED FOR LEAKS TO NO AVAI. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE'S COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT SUSPECTED THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS ISSUE CAN ONLY BE HANDLED BY FORD DEALERSHIPS. NO HARSH BREAKING OCCURRED TO CAUSE THE ISSUE AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAILURE (I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT). I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO MINE AND I COULD'VE SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF OR OTHERS DUE TO THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL- THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD MOTORS IS TELLING ME THE COMPONENTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 6-12 MONTHS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT IS FORD DOING TO EXPEDIT THESE NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS?

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE AIR BAG SOME TIME AGO YET IT HASNT BEEN REPAIRED YET. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST CHECKED THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL AND FORD SAYS IT IS STILL WAITING FOR PARTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S BEEN 18 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WENT OUT. IT NEEDS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BUT IT COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME AND MAY AFFECT MY ABILITY TO SELL OR TRADE THIS CAR!

TAKATA RECALL - I AM WAITING TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED ON RECALL. THIS WAS A MANDATORY RECALL CONCERNING THE TAKATA AIR BAGS

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE IN JUNE 2016. IT'S 2018 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY MY CAR. I JUST RECEIVED A NEW NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I'M PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD. THIS IS ME AND MY HUSBAND'S ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. FORD HAS THE PARTS, THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY UPFRONT. THEY NEED TO GIVE US A LENDER VEHICLE OR ALLOW US TO GET THE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD EVEN PAY FOR THE REPAIR UPFRONT IF I KNEW I'D BE REIMBURSED. THEY CAN'T JUST TELL 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST NOTICE, 'HEY DON'T DRIVE YOUR CAR' TO TRY TO GET RID OF ANY LIABILITY. IT'S RIDICULOUS. THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER FOR YEARS AND IT IS DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

SEPTEMBER 8 WE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT AND OUR CAR WAS TOTALED THE AIR BAGS NONE OF THEM EVER WENT OFF, EVEN THE POLICE AND PARAMEDIC WERE CONCERNED, AND BEING A NURSE I AM VERY CONCERNED, WE WERE GETTING OFF BYPASS AND ANOTHER CAR HIT US. WE WERE REAR ENDED
