DRIVING AND LOST ALL BRAKES. WENT TO THE FLOOR AS I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL WEATHER IN IOWA. THIS WAS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, I AM THANKFUL IT HAPPENED TO ME AND NOT MY 17 YEAR OLD. AS A SINGLE MOM WITH NO INCOME AT THIS TIME, THE CAR NOW HAS BEEN PARKED FOR 3 MONTHS. SO I HAVE HAD TIME TO DO SOME RESEARCH: THE BRAKE FLUID WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF BRAKE FLUID LEAK. I DID FIND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE PLASTIC ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER IF CORRODED, THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS BEING SUCKED INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, LEAVING NO SIGNS OF IT LEAKING. I ALSO FOUND BY DOING A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE WEB FORUMS: THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER 2008 FORM FUSION OWNERS. AND IF YOU PAID ATTENTION BY SIMPLY LOOKING AT VIN NUMBER, ALL OF THE CARS WERE PRODUCED ON THE SAME LINE, IN THE SAME PLANT, AT THE SAME TIME FRAME. AND WERE ABOUT 100 CARS APART CONSECUTIVELY DOWN THE LINE. I HAVE HAD A MASTER MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTICS: THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER BOTH NEED REPLACED. ALSO A MISFIRE WAS HAPPENING. HAVE YET TO BE DETERMINED IF THIS CAUSES THAT. WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL I GET THE BRAKES FIXED. I DON'T KNOW HOW I, A 38 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM FROM IOWA CAN SEE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OBVIOUS RECALL FROM YOU AND FORD. BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT MY CHILD'S NOR MY LIVES ON THE LINE FOR YOU TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR HIND ENDS TO SEE THE OBVIOUS.

"TAKATA RECALL" LETTER WAS MAILED OUT JULY 2016 FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL 16S26. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NEVER MAILED ANOTHER LETTER STATING THE PART IS AVAILABLE TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED FIVE STAR FORD OF PLANO UPON RECEIPT OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE AND WAS ADVISED ANOTHER LETTER WILL BE SENT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. NO 2ND FORD MOTOR COMPANY LETTER HAS BEEN RECEIVED. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? THE INITIAL LETTER IS ATTACHED.

WHEN BRAKING ON A BUMPY ROAD, BRAKES BECOME SOFT/ GOES TO THE FLOOR. ABS PROBLEM. HAPPENED ABOUT 9X ALREADY. ALMOST COST AN ACCIDENT. HAVE TO RE TRIGGER THE ABS TO RESTORE BRAKE FIRMNESS.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT BY FORD IN JULY 2016. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES BUT DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND ALSO CAN NOT SELL THE CAR WITH A KNOWN DEFECT. I SUSPECT FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID THERE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE CAR IS OLD.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WHEN ABS KICKS IN. BRAKE PEDAL IS NOW SPONGY. CD PLAYER MAKES NOISES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE CD'S BUT THERE ARE NO CD'S IN IT.

TAKATA RECALL: IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2008 FORD, FUSION. IF THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED QUICKER. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A NOTICE WHEN TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE.

WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL MAY INITIALLY REQUIRE LITTLE MOVEMENT TO SLOW DOWN BUT MAY SUDDENLY STOP BRAKING AND THE PEDAL WILL DROP TO NEARLY FULL TRAVEL BEFORE BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN, AND THEN SOMETIMES AT THAT POINT BRAKE HARD. OTHER TIMES, IF BRAKING HARD ENOUGH ON THE SLIPPERY SURFACE, THE ABS WILL KICK IN, BUT AFTERWARDS THE PEDAL WILL BECOME VERY SOFT AND INEFFECTIVE. SOMETIMES, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING WILL "RESET" THE BRAKES, BUT NOT ALWAYS. ALSO, SOME DAYS WITHOUT EXPLANATIONS THE PEDAL IS SOFTER THAN OTHER TIMES. THERE IS NOT A CONSISTENT AMOUNT OF TRAVEL REQUIRED FOR THE SAME BRAKING. THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO ERROR CODES AT ANY OF THESE TIMES. THE PEDAL GOING SOFT FOR NO REASON WITHOUT AN ABS EVENT HAPPENED TODAY SO I WILL ENTER TODAY AS THE DAY THIS HAPPENED, BUT THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING OFTEN FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

HAVE HEARD ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND THE AREA WHERE THE AIRBAG IS , IS COMING APART.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND IT SEEMS THAT IT WILL BE MONTHS BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED. NOW THAT I KNOW, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE A RENTAL UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS REMEDIED. MY DEALER (SORENS FORD - BROOKFIELD, WI) INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AUTHORIZE A RENTAL UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE REPAIR. IS THERE ANY OTHER RECOURSE THAT I MAY HAVE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO WARING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BUT BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS NOT A NEW RECALL AND ALL FORD WILL SAY IS THAT THEY ARE WORKING TO GET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM..WITH NO IDEA OF WHEN THIS MIGHT BE TAKEN CARE OF..THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED..AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT UNTIL I OR MY LOVED ONES ARE INJURED THAT I CAN NOT EVEN ENTER A COMPLAINT?

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AFTER GOING OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AFTER ABS ACTIVATION. THIS OF COURSE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONDITION WILL PERSIST BUT CAN TYPICALLY BE TEMPORARILY CORRECTED BY PERFORMING A PANIC STOP THAT CAUSES THE ABS TO ACTIVATE. I AM A FORMER ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN, SERVICE ADVISOR AND CURRENT ASSISTANCE SERVICE MANAGER FOR VARIOUS MANUFACTURER AT A DEALER LEVEL. THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY ORIGINATES FROM ONE OR MORE VALVES INSIDE THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT STICKING. YOUR AVERAGE CUSTOMER/CONSUMER WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT THIS CONDITION OCCURS AND ACCIDENTS HAVE OBVIOUSLY ALREADY HAPPENED AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. YOU'RE AVERAGE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE THIS CONDITION AND LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT. MY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR WHICH I GAVE TO HER AND THANKFULLY HARDLY DRIVES. AFTER WORKING FOR GENERAL MOTORS DURING THE IGNITION SWITCH DISASTER AND THE DOZENS OF RECALLS THEY RELEASED AFTER I WOULDN'T BE UPSET TO NEVER SEE ANOTHER RECALL AGAIN. HOWEVER THIS IS A FAULT WITHIN A VEHICLE I FIRMLY BELIEVE SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. THIS AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF NOT JUST THOSE IN THE CAR BUT THOSE OUTSIDE THE CAR AS WELL.

AFTER EACH TIME THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL BECOMES SOFT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. THE PEDAL FEEL STAYS SOFT FOR DAYS, SLOWLY RETURNING TO NORMAL. THE CAR WILL STILL STOP, HOWEVER, DURING THESE TIMES, JUST TO SLOW MY CAR, THE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WITH SUBSTANTIALLY MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL.

WENT TO WORTHINGTON FORD IN LONG BEACH OVER A YEAR AGO (EXACT DATE NOT SURE) AFTER GETTING AN AIRBAG RECALL LETTER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE AIR BAGS REPLACEMENTS FOR MY CAR AT THE TIME. I CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL NO REPLACEMENT. I SERVICE MY CAR THERE ALL THE TIMER AND THEY NEVER CHECKED ABOUT THIS. OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE THERE FOR THE SAME RECALL AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED ME IF THE PART WAS IN. STILL WAITING. WHEN ARE THESE AIRBAGS GOING TO COME IN?

BRAKES ARE SPONGY AND INTERMITTENTLY DO WORK AT ALL ..HAVE REPLACED CALIPERS TWICE AND BLED THE LINES ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AIR BAG ON PASSENGERS SIDE IS COMING APART IN DASH. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED AND THE DOORS LOCK THEMSELVES EVEN WITH KEY IN IGNITION RUNNING. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL, RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 AND HAVE NOT YET AS OF 3/27/17 HAD RECALL FIXED. DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO GET INJURED DUE TO MANUFACTURE INABILITY TO REMEDY SAID RECALL.

MY IGNITION COILS HAVE MELTED AND FRIED THE PCM. LONG STORY SHORT IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY GOING 50MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. UNFORTUNATELY, FORD HAS YET TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE. THIS ISSUE COSTS THOUSANDS TO FIX AND SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY FORD. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP COMMENTED THAT THEY THOUGHT THE IGNITION COIL MAY HAVE MELTED BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD.

WHILE TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY WHERE THERE WAS A MANHOLE COVER WHICH CREATED A MINIMAL BUMP IN THE ROADWAY, THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP AS NORMAL. SINCE THEN THE BRAKES ARE VERY SPONGY AND LOW TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER DRIVING AGAIN BUT THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN IT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND BRAKING WHILE GOING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE ENTERING A FREEWAY ONRAMP. A MECHANIC SAYS IT IS DUE TO THE HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT.

TAKATA RECALL 16S26. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS AIR BAG RECALL IN JULY, 2016. NOW IT IS MARCH, 2017 AND STILL NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. THIS IS TAKING ENTIRELY TO LONG FOR THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE AIR BAGS WORK CORRECTLY.

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD IN JULY 2016 ABOUT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE NOTICE STATED THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN TO BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER IT IS NOW MARCH 2017 AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING MORE FROM FORD AND I AM STILL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

ONCE MY ANTILOCK BRAKES KICKED IN THIS WINTER, MY BRAKE PEDAL NEVER WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IT IS VERY MUSHY AND SOMETIMES WHEN GOING SLOWLY DOWN A SMALL INCLINE (I.E. EXITING A PARKING LOT), OR OVER ROUGH ROADS, IT IS HARD TO BRAKE. IN 2015 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED - MY ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN ONCE DURING WINTER AND MY BRAKES WERE MUSHY. EXCEPT THAT TIME, CARX DID A FREE BRAKE EXAMINATION, COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM AGAIN. THIS TIME, IN 2017 I TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND SO FAR, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. CARX THINKS I NEED A WHOLE NEW HYDRAULIC CYLINDER UNIT FOR ABS AND/OR MASTER CYLINDER.

BRAKING IS SOFT. MUST PUSH BRAKE PEDAL NEAR TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES, THEY TIGHTEN UP. THIS STARTED AFTER I BRAKED SUDDENLY GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. MECHANIC SAYS THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT. I SAW SEVERAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS THAT MATCH MY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND HAD TO SWITCH INTO THE TURN LANE, WHICH HAD TONS OF CARS IN LINE. SO I STARTED TO PUSH DOWN ON MY BRAKE, WHICH NEVER HAD TO BE PUSHED DOWN VERY FAR TO ACTIVATE. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST TO GET ANY REACTION. I SWERVED OUT OF THAT LANE AS I WAS NEARING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE NEXT CAR IN THE TURN LANE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE LANE I SWERVED BACK INTO. I THOUGHT I HAD LOST MY BRAKES. THE NEXT DAY THEY WERE STILL JUST AS BAD SO I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER TO GET IT LOOKED IT AS I WANTED MY BRAKES BACK. THEY HAD SAID IT WAS THE HYDRAULIC CONVERTER UNIT AND IT WOULD COST A PRETTY PENNY. SINCE EVERY CAR NEEDS BRAKES, I HAD TO PAY THE PRICE(OVER $1,500). THE EMPLOYEES THERE HAD TOLD ME THIS CAR HAD BEEN HAVING THESE ISSUES AND MAY BE GETTING A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 140 COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM SO I'D LIKE TO ADD MY INSTANCE TO THAT TOTAL. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT AS IT WAS VERY CLOSE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE INVESTIGATION WOULD CONCLUDE SINCE THERE'S SO MANY INSTANCES WITH THIS SAME OCCURRENCE AND PEOPLE COULD GET THERE MONEY BACK FOR WHATEVER REPAIRS THEY HAD TO PAY FOR.

I WAS COMING TO A STOP FROM A NORMAL SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY BREAK PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE NEXT LANE TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO PUMP THE BREAKS SEVERAL TIMES TO COME TO A STOP. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE BREAK MASTERCYLINDER BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ABS MODULE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REPAIR. I CAN CURRENTLY STOP MY CAR WHILE DRIVING BUT MY BREAK PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE TO BREAK FROM A SIGNIFICANTLY FURTHER DISTANCE.

CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND BRAKES FEEL SOFT AND SPONGY. AFTER THE CAR STOPPED THE CAR STARTED GOING FORWARD WHILE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP MOVING. SOMETIMES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED NOW IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE TO USE MORE THAN NORMAL FORCE TO GET THEM TO STOP THE CAR IN TIME. NO LEAKS FOUND AND FLUID LEVELS LOOK GOOD.
