IF AN EVENT THAT ENGAGES THE ABS HAPPENS, PEDAL FIRMNESS IS LOST AND REQUIRES 50-75% MORE TRAVEL BEFORE BRAKES WILL SLOW THE CAR. THIS PERSISTS OVER MANY STOPS AND FOR MANY MINUTES BUT ULTIMATELY PEDAL FIRMNESS DOES RECOVER. WHILE IN THE FAILED STATE THE BRAKES ENGAGE AT DIFFERING PEDAL POSITIONS MAKING STOPPING A GUESSING GAME AS TO HOW MUCH PEDAL TRAVEL AND FORCE WILL BE REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR. OUTSIDE OF THIS EVENT PERIOD THE BRAKES PERFORM AS EXPECTED.

BRAKING ISSUE. CAR VIBRATES EXTREMELY BAD WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH TO LOW SPEEDS. ALSO, IF THE CAR HITS A BUMP/DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES; THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. ALL BRAKE PRESSURE IS GONE AND TO OBTAIN IT BACK THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE 'PUMPED.' PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT BECOMES A FATALITY ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DMV STATING: URGENT SAFETY RECALL IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED! I CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP PER THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LETTER & WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE NEW AIR BAGS TO INSTALL IN MY VEHICLE. THEN I CALLED THE 866-436-7332 (NUMBER PROVIDED IN RECALL LETTER) AND WAS TOLD THEY WON'T HAVE ANY AIR BAGS UNTIL HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER

I BRAKED ON SLIPPERY PAVEMENT AND THE ABS SYSTEM WAS KICKING IN TO STOP ME AS I SKIDDED. I EVENTUALLY STOPPED SAFELY; HOWEVER, SINCE THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN VERY SOFT. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO OPERATE THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO FEEL SOFT AND I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ADJUSTED TO THE SOFTNESS. SOMETIMES I PUMP THE PEDAL TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP, AND IT HAS, BUT THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS TOO LONG.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, A CAR CUT OFF MY VEHICLE AND ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES, WHICH ACTIVATED THE ABS SYSTEM (THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERED AND QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN). AT MY EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY, HOWEVER, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY HAD ONLY 30 TO 40 PERCENT STOPPING POWER AND I NEARLY REAR-ENDED A DIFFERENT CAR. NOW, THE BRAKES ON THE CAR FEEL VERY "SOFT" AND IT TAKES PUSHING THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

2008 FORD FUSION SE V6 76,000 MILES. WE HAVE HAD AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES OVER THE LAST YEAR. AFTER AN ABS EVENT THE BRAKE PADEL GOES RIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH MINIMAL STOPPING POWER. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO OUR MACHANIC, SYSTEM CHECKED, BRAKES FLUSHED AND BLEEDED AND $$$$ SPENT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. WE WERE HOPING IT WAS RESOLVED UNTIL THE LAST INCIDENT THE OTHER DAY ALMOST RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK GOD THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD BRAKES THAT WORKED PROPERLY AS I BRAKED AND WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH A RED LIGHT!! THIS IS NOT A MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM. IT IS 100% THE ABS PUMP AND MODULE UNIT!! THE SYSTEM FAILS AND THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH! SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR A PASSANGER AIR BAG AND A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FORD!!! WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND NOW THERE IS MAJOR BRAKE PROBLEM THAT MAY CAUSE THE HAND GRENADE TO GO OFF IN A COLLISION! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY.

WHILE USING THE BREAKS HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THEN THE BREAK PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR THE CAR STILL STOOPED BUT NOT AS EXPECTED HAD TO SWERVE TO CAR AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CONDITION OF THE PEDAL GOING TO FAR DID NOT GO WAY FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP ABOUT 2 MILES. THE CONDITION WAS NOT RESOLVED UNTIL I TOOK THE CAR TO A GRAVEL LOT AND CAUSED THE ABS TO CYCLE NOW THE CAR IS BACK TO FULL PEDAL.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAS CONTACTED ME ABOUT MY 2008 FORD FUSION IT HAS A RECALL WITH THE AIRBAGS THAT COULD KILL OR SERIOUSLY INJURED OR ME OR ANY OF THE PASSENGERS IF IT DEPLOYS, MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON I BOUGHT IT AT ONTARIO SALES IN LOCKPORT NEW YORK, WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR THE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND I SHOULD BE GETTING A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO 2017

HAVING BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY FORD FUSION. WHEN BREAKING THE PEDAL IS SINKS TO THE FLOOR, REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER BLEED THE BRAKES AND STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND FEELS SPONGEY. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE CAR BRAKES ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPONSIVE TAKES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. NOTE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING, IF I HAVE TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP AND THE ABS KICKS IN, MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND I HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL. THIS ALSO HAPPENS IF I RUN ACROSS A SMALL POTHOLE, UNEVEN PAVEMENT, MANHOLE COVER, ETC. I HAVE RAN THROUGH RED LIGHTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, INTO THE DITCH, INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN, ALL ON MANY DIFFERENT ROADS, AND DONE A COMPLETE 360 ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE RAINING ALL DUE TO THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILING. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE COME CLOSE TO A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED OF THIS WEBSITE TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS LONG AGO, WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 8/12/18 ON GENE SNYDER FREEWAY.

THIS IS RELATED TO INVESTIGATION EA 18-002. I WAS DRIVING DURING RAINY WEATHER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ABRUPTLY SLAMMED ON IT'S BRAKES AND I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES HARD AS WELL IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION. DUE TO THE WET ROAD THE ABS ACTIVATED AND MY CAR STOPPED IN TIME WITHOUT A COLLISION. AFTER THE ABS ACTIVATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND WHEN TRYING TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THEREAFTER IT TOOK MUCH LONGER FOR MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED DUE TO THE PEDAL TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON WET ROADS. I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP MY CAR IN TIME SINCE IT TOOK LONGER FOR MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN. IT WAS NOT UNTIL MANY HOURS LATER AND AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMNESS RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE WITH THE ABS IN SNOWY OR RAINY WEATHER.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE APPLIED ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED AN ABS EVENT. SINCE THAT TIME, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SOFT AND NEEDS SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, THERE IS A SLIGHT HISS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THAT CAN BE SOMETIMES HEARD. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAULTY ABS MODULE AND HCU (HYRDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT). FORD DEALER STATES THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK AND HITTING A MINOR BUMP KNOCKS SOMETHING OUT OF PLACE OR STICKS. THAT PREVENTS MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO WORK AT ALL, ALLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BE PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR TILL IT FEELS LIKE YOUR FOOT IS GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR TO MAKE IT STOP. IS SOMETHING REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THE EXACT MAKE, MODEL & YEARS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH & NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.

AS TOLD TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY MY DASH IS MESSED UP FROM THE AIRBAG STARTING TO DEPLOY DURING THE RECALL. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL AND I DROVE THAT BUT NOW THAT THE INFLATOR HAS BEEN REPAIRED THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX MY DASH.

DASH BOARD IS WARPED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NO LONGER HAD THE DASHBOARD. THIS DASHBOARD IS SO WARPED IT IS AN ISSUE TO THE AIRBAGS.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN A ROAD SWITCHES FROM 2 INTO 1 EXIT LANE & 1 LANE. THE 1 CONTINUING ROAD HAS A SMALL QUICK CURVE TO IT AND THE CARS AHEAD OF ME WERE BRAKING SO I PREEMPTIVELY EASED INTO A HARD BRAKE WHILE TAKING THAT SMALL QUICK CURVE AND (I BELIEVE) THE ABS ATTEMPTED OR SUCCEEDED IN KICKING IN, BUT AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FROM BEING STIFF AND BRAKING QUICKLY TO SOFT AND BRAKING DRAMATICALLY SLOWER. LUCKILY I LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM EVEN IF I AM GOING QUICKLY AND I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND SLOW DOWN IN TIME. EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AFTER THE INCIDENT IT STILL DOESN'T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE BRAKING FORCE THAT IT HAD AT EVEN 1/3 OF THE PEDAL DISTANCE AS IT DID BEFORE. I UNPLUGGED THE ABS/TCS/HEATED SEATS/REAR BACKUP SENSOR FUSE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SURGED BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR, INSERTED THE SAME FUSE BACK IN, AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE PEDAL STILL OPERATES AS NORMAL WORKING CONDITION. THIS IS QUITE A SCARY DEFECT AS IT IS THE BRAKES FAILING/DEGRADING BECAUSE OF AN ABS COMPUTER FLAW THAT CAUSES THE BRAKES TO FAIL ONLY UNDER THE EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THEY NEED TO BE PERFORMING 100%. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FLAW THAT NO DOUBT HAS CAUSED COUNTLESS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER FLAW.

I BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART FOR 2 YEARS. MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD BUY THE CARS BACK AND HELP PEOPLE GET NEW ONES

TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROBLEMATIC. OWNED CAR FOR 9 YEARS. HESITATES TO ACCELERATE, SHIFTS VERY HARD, CANNOT CLIMB HILLS.

HAD NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS INSTALLED NOV 2017. DURING RUSH HOUR GOING 25 UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH (AS FAST AS I COULD SAFELY GO WITH TRAFFIC), I WAS REAR ENDED. BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CRASHED INTO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER REPAIR (NEW FRONT END), BRAKES WILL STILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON OCCASION, AND ARE VERY JUMPY-LIKE IT'S STOPPING THEN RELEASING RAPIDLY. 3 SHOPS HAVE FOUND NO ISSUES.

FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS TURNING A CORNER, HIT ROUGH PAVEMENT AND THE ABS ENGAGED. THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AFTERWARDS. THE SECOND INCIDENT, WHILE SLOWING AND HITTING A ROUGH PATCH ON THE ROAD, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED. WHEN I BRAKED FOR THE INTERSECTION, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.

BRAKES GO MUSHY IF STOPPING ON ROUGH SURFACE, STRAIGHT LINE, NO ICE OR SNOW. SPONGY PEDAL REMAINS UNTIL CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE.

ON OR ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2018 ON THE COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AS I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKES WEREN'T THERE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO THE FLOOR BOARD, I BEGAN PUMPING THE BRAKES TO STOP AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK BACK ROADS TO GET OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AT EACH STOP SIGN. AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN I COASTED FROM ABOUT TWO BLOCKS TO A BARE CRAWL ANTICIPATING THAT WOULD HELP ME ACTUALLY STOP - IT DIDN'T - MY VEHICLE CONTINUED SLOWLY PAST THE 4 WAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND A VEHICLE THAT HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY ON THE RIGHT STOPPED TO LET ME CONTINUE AS I WAVED AND EXPRESSED I WAS SORRY THE BEST WAY I COULD. I MADE IT HOME AND CALLED THE TIRE/BRAKE SHOP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. I THEN DROVE THE SAME ROUTE TO THE TIRE/BRAKE SHOP AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED, NEW CALIPERS, ETC. THE AUTO REPAIRMEN STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER VALVE WAS COMPROMISED AND TO WATCH FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND THE NEXT TIME WOULD REQUIRE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE I HAD ACCESS TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY.

WHENEVER THE CAR HITS ROUGH ROADS, THE BRAKES LOSE EFFECTIVENESS AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES DRASTICALLY. FORTUNATELY, THERE HASNT BEEN A COLISION CAUSED BY FAULTY SYSTEM. RECENTLY, 25 JUNE 2018, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THIS CAR ENTERED INTO A FISH-TAIL ENDING WITH A 180 DEGREE SPIN. THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY TO THE FLOOR AND IT APPEARED AS IF THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN.

WHEN BRAKING MY BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING. I HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE EVEN AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 25 MPH. THE RESULT IS A STOPPING DISTANCE THAT IS DOUBLED FROM ANY OTHER VEHICLE WITH ABS I'VE EVER DRIVEN. IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AND MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, I HAVE REPLACED BRAKE CALIPERS, PADS, ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE FLUID FLUSH AND BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE ONLY OTHER REPAIRS THAT CAN BE MADE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IS REPLACING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND ABS PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE, ONCE THESE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WILL BE IN EXCESS OF $2500.

BRAKE FAILURE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP MY CAR AT A CITY INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL, UPON APPLICATION, TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE BRAKES ENGAGING. I IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BEGAN TO PUMP THE PEDAL, WHICH EVENTUALLY ENGAGED THE BRAKES SOFTLY. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER CAR. FOR A LITTLE WHILE AFTER THAT THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO BE VERY SOFT, REQUIRING MUCH MORE PEDAL TRAVEL THAN NORMAL.

THIS HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVE RECALL SINCE JANUARY OF 2017. IT IS NOW JUNE OF 2018 AND THERE STILL ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! A YEAR AND A HALF IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET NEW PARTS FOR SUCH THING!

I KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES AND I TAKE IT IN, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. I HAVE A LOT OF LETTERS AND PAPER WORK.

BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS TO GET RECALL FIXED ON THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WITH TAKATA STILL NO SOLUTION. AND THEY SAY THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. I GUESS FORD IS IN NO HURRY TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD AN ABS EVENT,WHEN BRAKING AND RUNNING OVER BUMPS OR POTHOLES, WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THEN REMAINS VERY SOFT . I HAVE HAD THE LINES BLED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE BRAKES, EVEN AFTER BEING BLED ARE VERY SOFT AND I MUST CONTINUALLY PUMP THEM TO STOP.
