2008 Ford Fusion complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2008 record →
THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE HCU UNIT NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THAT WITH NHTSA. THIS NEW COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS MADE ON DECEMBER 18TH OF 2019 AND NOW OVER A YEAR LATER FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER ON 01/08/21 AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE HCU UNIT IS DEFECTIVE BUT THEY TOLD ME FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS OVER A YEAR AFTER IT WAS RECALLED. I'M SURE FORD HAS BUILT A LOT OF CARS AND TRUCKS IN THE LAST YEAR AND HAS SOLD A LOT OF PARTS SO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THEY CANNOT GET THIS PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ENGAGES AND MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUMP THE PEDAL TO GET IT BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD ENGAGE. THE FORD DEALER I TOOK IT TO HAD ME SIGN A PAPER SAYING THAT THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE BAD BUT FORD WON'T FIX IT AND THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ME GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE LAST LINE OF THE CIRCLED AREA ON THE ROCK RIVER FORD RECEIPT STATES THAT.
MY STATE AUTO REGISTRATION INCLUDED A RECALL FROM 12/19/2019. WHEN I WENT TO GET FURTHER DETAILS FROM HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS IT SAID FORD IS WORKING ON A FIX?? THIS IS FROM OVER A YEAR AGO - IS THERE A REPAIR AVAILABLE OR NOT? THANK YOU
FORD MOTOR COMPANY SENT ME SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES. WHEN I RESPONDED TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE BY THEIR MOBILE UNIT, THEY COMPLIED . I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DASH PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED. AFTER THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED ON. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO BRING VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED FOR A FEE OF 129.00 DOLLARS. AGAIN I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED.
THERE SEEMS TO BE AN OPEN RECALL CONCERNING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. FROM YOUR DESCRIPTION PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FIRST QUARTER 2020. IT'S NOW DECEMBER. SEEMS LIKE FORD IS TAKING TOO LONG TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

I CHECKED THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND IT SAYS THE HYDROLIC CONTROL VALVE FOR THE BRAKES IS STUCK OPEN AND FORD COMPANY HAS YET TO HAVE A REMEDY FOR IT
BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND BRAKES DON'T WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE SUDDENLY.

WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING, IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS NO BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS AS AN EXTENDED BRAKE.MANY TIMES I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD THE BRAKE PADS, BRAKE ROTORS, CALIPERS AND NOW THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED WITH A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH AND THIS ISSUE STILL REMAINS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED UNDER THE RECALL REGARDING THE ABS MODULE. I CALLED SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NO HELP EITHER.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 161,000 MILES ON IT. BETWEEN DECEMBER OF 2019 AND APRIL, 2020, I EXPERIENCED 3 INCIDENTS WHERE IF I HIT A POTHOLE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, AFTERWARD THE PEDAL WOULD SINK LOW TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRED AGGRESSIVE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON THESE 3 OCCASIONS, IF I PARKED THE CAR AFTER A FEW HOURS THE PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JANUARY 2020 ADVISING OF THE SAFETY RECALL (NOTICE # 19S54, NHTSA RECALL # 19V-804) STATING THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020.

RESEARCH SHOWED IN JAN, 2020 THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE HCUS THAT CAUSES BRAKES TO GO TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED AND OXMOOR FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIME, BUT THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE FORD HAD NOT PROVIDED THEM PARTS. THIS CONTINUED FOR 6 MONTHS AND CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED. IN JULY AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT WITH OXMOORE FORD IN LOU, KY WAS MADE FOR JULY 13, 2020. THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF ON SUNDAY NIGHT TO BE WORKED ON MONDAY MORNING. APPROX 4 HOURS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT TIME, DEALER CALLED AND SAID CAR WAS READY. WHEN WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ADVISED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. WE REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK, INFORMED THEM IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AND DEMANDED IT BE REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT GET PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL AND DOUBTED IF THEY COULD FIX IT FOR MONTHS. WE THEN INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE CAR UNTIL IT'S REPAIRED AND THAT WE WERE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE US TRANSPORTATION BOARD AND SEEKING AN ATTORNEY. AT THE TIME OF FILING THIS REPORT, DEALERSHIP HAS YET TO RESPOND. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT FORD RE: THIS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS.

MY WIFE REAR ENDED SOMEONE. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES TO FORD FOR TWO YEARS.

THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE BROUGHT TO A CONTROLLED STOP. *TR

DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG AND DEFROSTING AGENT IS BULGING AND COMING APART. I FEEL THAT THIS WOULD BE A MALFUNCTION IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO BE DEPLOYED CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
I RECIEVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT THE CAR WAS BEING RECALLED. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I STEPED ON THE BRAKE, IT WOULD MAKE A RUMBLING NOIE, OR VIBERATION. THATS ABOUT IT. I DID STOP AT ONE OF THE FORD DEALERS TO HAVE IT CHECKED BUT THEY WERE SO BUSY , I NEEDED TO GET HOME. VECHILE WAS IN MOTION,CITY STREETS & HIGHWAYS & I WAS BRAKING THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THAT IS IT.. I CAN'T GIVE YOU A DATE, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR TILL I RECIEVED THE RECALL PROBABLY SOMETIME IN 2019!
AFTER THE RECALL OF THE AIR BAG. I NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH ON. AFTER THE DEALER FIX MY AIR BAG IT WOULD TURN AND OFF MOST OF THE TIME BUT AFTER TAKING THE CAR BACK TO GET IT CHECK THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON THE DASH BUT AFTER A FEW MONTH THE LIGHT IS ON NOW AND IT WON'T TURN OFF THE DEALER SHIP WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOW IT'S ON ALL THE TIME EVEN IF I'M STOP OR MOVING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
