2008 Ford Fusion complaints

I BELIEVE MY BRAKES ARE APART OF RECALL I JUST SAW ON WGHP FOX NEWS. MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR.

MY CARS ABS LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT IS SOFT AND I HAVE TO PUSH IT HARD TO STOP

AFTER THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGES ONE TIME THE BRAKES GO SOFT AND MUSHY. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL NOT RESET AND GO BACK TO NORMAL. IT MAKES TRYING TO STOP VERY DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE.

PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AIR BAG COVER HAS SEPERATED EXPOSING FOAM INSULATION AND EXPOSES AIR BAG POCKET. THIS OCCURRED IN 2014 GRADUALLY OVER TIME. MILAGE OF VEHICLE IS 65K.

WHILE DRIVING ON LIGHT SNOW COVERED ROAD THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND HAD TO PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR. IT CONTINUED FOR MANY MORE MINUTES BEFORE REGAINING PRESSURE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER, $1500 LATER STILL HAVING ISSUES. *TR

MULTIPLE MECHANICS. NO REMEDY TO FIX SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO STOP SAFELY. NO SPECIFIC EVENT OCCURRED TO CAUSE THIS. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. I'M GOING TO BE FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE I CAN NOT AFFORD RIGHT NOW.

THE BRAKES SUDDENLY GO SOFT WHEN STOPPING ON UNEVEN SURFACES. THE BRAKES ALSO HAVE GONE SOFT WHEN BRAKING IN A TURN.

WHEN BREAKING SUDDEN MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE GROUND AND WON'T STOP. IT HAPPENED WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND BREAKING AND HAS OCCURRED IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. I HAVE HAD MY BREAK PADS, ROTORS REPLACED, ALL LINES CHECKED FOR PRESSURE NO LEAKS. THE CAR MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS IF WE FALL IN THE WRONG SITUATION. FORTUNATELY THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. TODAY THE BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE BUT YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO USE THEM AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING ON SNOWY/ICY ROADS MY ABS BRAKES TOOK HOLD WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT MY BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. THEY SEEMED TO BE SOFT. MY PEDAL GOES FURTHER TO THE FLOOR. NOT AS MUCH PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. I HAVE CONCERN THAT WHEN I AM ON SNOWY ROADS MY BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO BE REACTING LIKE THEY SHOULD. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN GO "SOFT" WHEN DRIVING ON SLIPPERY OR UNEVEN SURFACES. THE BRAKES DO NOT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE TO PUT IT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO STOP. EVEN THEN IT FEELS THAT IT WILL NOT STOP IN TIME. DURING OUR LAST SNOW STORM IT WAS COMPLETELY UN RELIABLE. I DO NOT CURRENTLY FEEL SAFE OR THAT THEY RE WORKING CORRECTLY AT ALL. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW. YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS ENGAGE WHEN YOU USE THE BREAKS BUT IT NEVER GOES BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS PRIOR TO THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE BRAKES. *TR

MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE ABS ENGAGES MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP AT A SAFE DISTANCE. IF YOU MANAGE TO STOP THE CAR & PUMP THE BRAKES MANY TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD GAIN ALLOWING YOU TO STOP. HOWEVER THE NEXT TIME THE ABS ENGAGES THE PEDAL SOFTENS & GOES TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. A FRIEND WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. SEE NHSTA NUMBER 10876335.

STARTING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, THE BRAKES STARTED ACTING EXTREMELY WEIRD. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND PUSH IN THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES LIKE A SPONGE AND WONT STOP. AT FIRST WHEN YOU PUSH IT, IT STARTS TO BRAKE, BUT THEN QUITS WORKING AND REQUIRES YOU TO PUSH IT TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL USUALLY GO ON 1-2 WEEKS, AND THEN WILL START WORKING LIKE NORMAL. ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS EACH MONTH, THE BRAKES ACT UP AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WONT STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER YOU ARE GOING 15 MPH OR 60 MPH. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME, ANY PLACE, ANY SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS INTO A DEALERSHIP, WHICH THEY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WOULD FIX. $400 LATER AND NOTHING FIXED. *TR

DRIVING ALONG NORMALLY, RELATIVELY LOW SPEED IN THE CITY LIMITS, DRY CONDITIONS, NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR, AND INSTEAD THE PEDAL HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING OR SLOWING THE CAR. HAD TO PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE GETTING PEDAL RESISTANCE AND SLOW THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 1 YEAR, MOST RECENTLY THIS PAST MONDAY. *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL LETTER BACK IN JULY 2016 REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384. AND THE ISSUE HASN'T BEEN CORRECT TO DATE. I AM NERVOUS DRFIVING MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER AND NOW THE DASH IS PEELING AWAY FROM THE AIR BAG SITE.

WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP TO STOP. I HAD IT RESET WITH TESTER AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THE PUMP AND CONTROL MODULE ARE BAD NEED TO BE REPLACED. VERY DANGEROUS AND COMMON. 2 OTHER VEHICLES IN SHOP FOR THE SAME THING. FORD NEEDS TO A DRESS THIS.

TAKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2008 FORD FUSION WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED 6+ MONTHS AGO OF THIS RECALL. STILL TO THIS DAY I AM TOLD THERE IS NO AVAILABLE PARTS FOR THIS REMEDY! I HAVE CONCERN EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS 145000 MILES ON IT WILL THIS BE FIXED BEFORE MY CAR GOES TO THE GRAVE YARD GOD FORBID I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE GETS INJURED FURTHER BECAUSE OF THIS SUCH A BIG LAWSUIT TO BE HAD, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE 2008 AND JUST NOW WE ARE FINDING THIS OUT? SHAME ON EVERY PARTY INVOLVED INCLUDING NHTSA! WHEN WILL THIS BE REMEDIED SO I COULD HAVE PEACE OF MIND AGAIN WHILE COMMUTING IN MY VEHICLE! SO IF I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR FOR THE REMAINDER OF ITS LIFE WHO DO I BRING FORTH MY COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUIT TO GOD FORBID AN INJURY OCCURS? THIS IS SO FAR BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT IS SICKENING! LETS QUIT WITH ALL THIS VAGUE INFORMATION AND STEP UP OUR GAME AND GET THESE OLDER CARS REMEDIED SOONER THAN LATER! IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? IS IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE? WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND JUST KEEP ON DRIVING AND HOPE FOR THE BEST? YOU PEOPLE NEED TO FIND A SOLUTION AND QUICK THIS IS WAY OUTTA HAND! PLEASE ADVISE OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS I'M AM INTERESTED TO HEAR THIS....... SINCERELY CONCERNED CONSUMER! *TR

I HAVE GRAND CHILDREN THAT NEED TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE AND WITH A RECALLED TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG WITH NO TIME SET FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR

THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DASHBOARD BECAME UNGLUED NEAR THE AIR BAG AREA. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY, 2016. I HAVE CALLED FORD AS WELL AS MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STILL HAVE NO TIMELINE FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET HAD AN ISSUE, BUT I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE LACK OF PROGRESS IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD HAS KNOWN SINCE JUNE 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT HAS YET TO SEND NOTIFICATION. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL BY RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. FORD HAS AN OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF A RECALL EVEN IF PARTS ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.

RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN IGNORED BY DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER TO DATE. I RESPONDED TO THE SAFETY RECALL LETTER 7/2016 AND NOTHING MORE THAN - NO PARTS- NO TARGET DATE FOR PARTS-NO THERE IS NO ONE WHO KNOWS OR CAN DO ANYTHING MORE. JUST HAVE TO WAIT. FOR WHAT?? UNTIL THERE IS AN INJURY OR DEATH. THE ALARM HAS BEEN SOUNDED - THEN NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE ACCESS ON THE TOP OF THE FRONT DASH HAS PULLED APART AND NOW HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME.

ROAD CONDITIONS WERE WET AT APPROX. 8A WEDNESDAY 12/1/2016. THERE WAS NO ACTIVE PRECIPITATION. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE. VEHICLE WAS IN USE APPROX. 10 MIN. IN MOTION ALONG WEST BELTLINE HIGHWAY 12/14 WHEN ENTERING THE EXIT RAMP FOR GAMMON ROAD 43.053038, -89.507010, BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO DECELERATE THE BREAKS FROM THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. THERE WAS AN ABS EVENT WHILE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING, THERE WAS A FEELING THROUGH THE FOOT OF PUSH BACK/WOBBLE/FLUTTERING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BRAKING AT THE NORMAL RATE AS THIS ROUTE IS USED DAILY/REGULARLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BY FOOT TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. ATTEMPTED TO PUMP THE BRAKE, BUT IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING/NOT RESPONDING. THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT WHERE IT IS KNOWN THAT THERE MAY BE HEAVY PASSING TRAFFIC PERIODICALLY. ATTEMPTS TO RETURN BRAKING TO FUNCTIONING STATE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE IN MOTION; WAS NOT CONGESTED; THERE WERE NO VEHICLES TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE ENTERING THE "T" INTERSECTION, ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE LANE, TURNING RIGHT, SURROUNDINGS WERE CLEAR OF TRAFFIC, NO INJURIES OR COLLISIONS TO REPORT. PULLED VEHICLE TO RIGHT-SIDE OF ROAD/BIKE PATH, VEHICLE DID STOP, BUT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. DROVE VEHICLE SLOWLY WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ENGAGED. DROVE APPROX. 1 MILE, VERY CAREFU

THE BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DURING ANY DRIVING, THE FIRST THIRD OF TYPICAL BRAKE PEDAL PRESS IS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES NORMALLY. HOWEVER THE MIDDLE THIRD DOES NOTHING ADDITIONAL TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AND THE LAST THIRD BRAKES AGGRESSIVELY. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, SERVICED THE ROTORS, REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, AND BLED THE BRAKE LINES. NONE OF THESE SERVICES HAVE CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WHERE OTHER USERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FINAL SOLUTION BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE ABS CONTROL MODULE; A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE.

RECALL ;ETTER REC'D JULY 2016. TOLD NO AIR BAGS AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AND WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY HAD. HAVE HEARD NOTHING AS OF 11-18-2016. CALLED FORD TODAY AND TOLD BY "MARY" PART NOT AVAILABLE, CAN'T PROVIDE ESTIMATE OF TIME WHEN IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

SPONGY BRAKES - THEY GO TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THEY STOP - MECHANIC SAID MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE PADS ARE FINE- BRAKE LINES HAVE BEEN BLEED AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE ISSUE. UPDATED 03/27/2017 *JS

AFTER NOTICING BRAKING ISSUES I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT TO INVESTIGATE WHAT THE ISSUE MAYBE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND THEN AFTER REPLACING NOTICED AIR GOING INTO THE LINE. AFTER NOTICING THE SOUND OF AIR THERE WAS AIR LINES AFTER THE FLUSH. IT WAS DETERMINED A FAULTY ABS SENSOR

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384) JULY 2016 FROM FORD. TODAY IS NOVEMBER 7, 2016. NOTICE OF REPAIR SCHEDULE AND FIX FOR OF DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS NOT TIMELY AND HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE YET.

TOOK CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO STOP. DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS THE REAR BRAKES, REPLACED THEM. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. TOOK BACK A COUPLE MOS LATER, DEALERSHIP STATED FRONT BRAKES & ROTORS, FIXED. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. TOOK CAR BACK AGAIN, DEALERSHIP STATED MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED IT. TOOK BACK AGAIN, NOW THEY STATE IT'S THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IN THE ABS SYSTEM. NEED TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO STOP.

ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT THE LEATHER ON THE DASH LIFTED THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE CAP HOLDING THE AIR BAG. I COULD NOT GET IT TO SLIP BACK SO NOW I HAVE AN OPENING ON THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG. I DID TAKE IT TO FORD THE SAID IT WAS NOT GOING TO OPEN UP ALL THE WAY UNLESS I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE FIXED BUT I FEEL THAT THIS WAS NOT A COINCIDENT THAT THE LEATHER LIFTED. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY AND SOMEONE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WILL BE HURT. I KNOW THE CAR IS AN OLDER MODEL BUT I KEEP THIS CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION.

WHEN BRAKING HARD OVER A POTHOLE ON A CITY STREET, BRAKES ARE LOST AND PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES RETURNED BUT HAS BEEN LOW AND SOFT EVER SINCE. A MECHANIC SUGGESTED THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) AND/OR AN ABS VALVE. ALSO, HE RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE HCU, WHICH IS OVER $550 FOR THE PART ALONE.

I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH COLORADO ON A PAVED BUT FAIRLY STEEP GRADE ROAD. A CAR BEHIND ME WAS TAILGATING SO I PULLED OVER TO A DIRT PATCH TO LET THEM PASS. PATCH WAS ROUGH SO THE ABS ACTIVATED. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ABS ACTIVATION AND SHUTOFF, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT. IT REQUIRED PUSHING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET ANY BRAKE STOPPING POWER. HAD I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AT ANY POINT, OR NOT IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I COULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO A TREE. PEDAL STILL REMAINS SOFT AND REQUIRES PUSHING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL BRAKE NORMALLY BUT IT STILL GOES SOFT. IF I SLAM ON THE BRAKES THEY WORK NORMALLY FOR A MOMENT, BUT THEN GO SOFT AND SPONGY AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE LAST TIME AUTO-CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON AND PUMPING THE BRAKES HARD, BUT NOT THIS TIME. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AS WELL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL!

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL IN JULY ABOUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I'VE BEEN VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR EVERY SINCE. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE IS BEING RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL: I DO NOT THINK THAT ENOUGH PRESSURE IS BEING APPLIED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY CAR SHOULD BE PULLED AND A RENTAL CAR PROVIDED AT NO COST. THAT WILL GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM FASTER. I DO NOT HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE AS I NO LONGER ALLOW A PASSENGER TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS IMPACTED ON MY VEHICLE. GROUND ALL VEHICLES IMPACTED AND SEE HOW FAST THEY GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH. TAKE THE GLOVES OFF AND GET TOUGH!

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN COMING TO A RED LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. SINCE THEN IT HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED THE BRAKES OVER AND SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WE STARTED DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN AND THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SPONGY SO WE TOOK IT BACK AND HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID IT WAS THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX FOR US AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE AS YOU COULD NOT TELL IF THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO WORK OR NOT, A VERY SCARY SITUATION. WE ARE CONTACTING FORD TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP US WITH THE COST AS TO ME THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WE ALSO COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR A MONTH OR SO WHILE IT WAS BEING DIAGNOSED. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WEATHER ON HIGHWAY/GRAVEL/CITY STREETS OR BUMPS THIS VEHICLES BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY ARE VERY SOFT TO PUSH AS IF THERE WAS AIR IN LINES,YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE BRAKE PEDDEL TO THE FLOOR TO STOP AND PRAY THAT YOU DO STOP. I HAVE SPENT $$$ TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... ONE DAY IM NOT GOING TO STOP IN TIME MY KIDS OR MYSELF AND ANYONE KR ANUTHING INVOLVED IS GOING TO BE HURT. THIS PROBLEM IS WORSE IF THE ROAD IS WET BUT IT IS STILL A CONSTANT PROBLEM ON AN EVERY DAY BASIS. I HAVE HAD WORKERS FROM FORD AND OTHER SHOPES TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED, AS I HAVE TRIED AND SPENT $400+ AND STILL WONT FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS THE ABS MODULE FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS.

I HAD UNLOCKED MY DOOR VIA THE AUTOMATIC LOCK SWITCH TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I WENT TO PULL THE INDOOR DRIVER'S SIDE LATCH TO EXIT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN, SO I DISENGAGED THE LATCH. THE LATCH THEN BROKE/POPPED OUT WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT. I CAN NO LONGER EXIT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE.

ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, IMMORAL DECISIONS MADE BY FORD IN WAITING EIGHT YEARS TO NOTIFY ME ABOUT DRIVING A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR FOR MANY YEARS. IF THERE ARE LAWS TO FOLLOW IN NOTIFYING YOU OR THE CONSUMER WHEN A MANUFACTURER DISCOVERS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT IN A PRODUCT THEY OFFER, THEN THEY MOST HAVE BEEN VIOLATED IN MY CASE AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS CASES. FOR EIGHT OR NINE YEARS I HAVE OWNED AND MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LISTED. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DETERMINE WHEN DID FORD KNOW ABOUT THEIR CARS HAVING DANGEROUS AIR BAGS.TAKATA HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS FOR YEARS. WHICH PEOPLE KNEW. DID THESE PEOPLE FOLLOW YOUR LAWS CONCERNING NOTIFYING NHTSA, CONSUMERS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICES? I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 IN JULY OF 2016 AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR EIGHT OR NINE YEARS. IF YOU FIND THE TRUE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS THEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT NO VIOLATIONS OCCURRED. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY FORD OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS MUST VIOLATE NHTSA CODES, CONSUMER RIGHTS, PRODUCT SAFETY CODES AND MANY OTHER CODES. WHEN NATIONAL FORD EMPLOYEES CAN NOT GIVE APPROXIMATE DATE TO GET UNSAFE CAR REPAIRED TO THE NEAREST MONTH AND THEY DO NOT RETURN CALL AS PROMISED, THEN IF NO CODES ARE VIOLATED THEN SURELY THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF UNETHICAL OR IMMORAL DECISIONS MADE OVER THE PAST NINE YEARS. SO AGAIN I ASK. WHEN DID FORD KNOW OF THE PROBLEM? WHO KNEW? BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT LAWS WERE VIOLATED? IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT "STATIS

"TAKATA RECALL" - I PURCHASED A 2008 FORD FUSION IN 2010 WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES. DURING THE MONTH OF JULY 2013, IT WAS A VERY HOT SUMMER DAY, 90 DEGREES AND MY CAR WINDOWS WERE SHUT TIGHT. MY CAR SAT IN THE PARKING LOT DURING WORKING HOURS AT LEAST 9 HOURS. AT THIS TIME, I HAD 33,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND MY FIRST FORD VEHICLE PURCHASED. I ENTERED INSIDE, I NOTICED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THE AIR BAG HAD POPPED UP ALONG THE PERIMETER. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE FOAM MATERIAL UNDERNEATH THE AIRBAG. IMMEDIATELY, I WAS CONCERNED AND NOTIFIED THE HQ FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I REQUEST TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ON THE FORD FUSION FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. HER RESPONSE WAS "NO". I INFORMED HER OF THE OCCURRENCE IN DETAIL AND FELT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY. I REQUESTED TO PLEASE NOTE THIS IN FILE FOR ANY FUTURE CALLS. I HAD OFFERED TO SEND A PICTURE OF IT BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT NECESSARY. I POLITELY ASKED WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE AND WHAT STEPS ARE NEEDED. SHE REPLIED, IT WAS NOT FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY AND RECOMMEND I DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I EXPRESSED HOW IMPERATIVE IT WAS TO FORWARD THIS INFORMATION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, EXPLAINED THE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, THE COST WOULD BE $2,500.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. I WAS SHOCKED! I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP UNHAPPY AND DISAPPOINTED. IT IS NOW 2016,

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR ARE VERY SOFT DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ABS STUCK VALVE. THE SOFT AND SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL IS ALL THE TIME UNLESS THEIR PUMPED A FEW TIMES.

DRIVER DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. MUST ROLL DOWN POWER WINDOW REQUIRES IGNITION ON OR ENGINE RUNNING TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. (NO SECURITY OR THEFT PROTECTION) EGRESS FROM CAR IMPOSSIBLE FROM INSIDE DRIVER SIDE. EXIT VIA PASSENGER DOOR BLOCKED BY CENTER CONSOLE. LOSS OF IGNITION LEAVES DRIVER STRAANDED INSIDE VEHICLE.
