2009 Ford Fusion complaints

WE HAVE TWO SAFETY RECALLS ON OUR 2009 FORD FUSION DATING BACK TO DECEMBER 2019! ANY IDEA OF WHEN THESE WILL BE ADDRESSED AS FORD SAYS WORKING ON A SOLUTION!!

OVER THE LAST YEAR, I'VE GOTTEN A DOZEN RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THE AIRBAG. USDOT, BMV, VIOCC, NHTSA, ETC..... I'VE CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY. THEY WON'T DO THE RECALL WORK. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY'RE WAITING FOR FUNDING FROM CORPORATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED CAVALIER FORD GREENBRIER (1515 S. MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320; (757) 424-1111) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED. FORD IS NOT TRYING TO GET ANYTHING DONE WITH THIS AND IT IS FOR BREAKS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS AND WAS INFORMED BY EACH THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

RECALL FOR REPAIR OF HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT VALVE WAS IN DEC. 2019. BRAKE FUNCTION IS AFFECTED. MFG RECALL #19S54; NHTSA RECALL #19V904 REMEDY WAS ANTICIPATED IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. AS OF 3/10/2021 "RECALL INCOMPLETE; REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND NORMALLY.

BRAKE SYSTEM'S HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WAS RECALLED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR OR TAKES EXCEPTIONALLY LONG TIME TO STOP. BARELY AVOIDED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THIS WAS RECALLED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY FORD! THE CAR MAINLY SITS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I AM AFRAID TO USE IT. HOW CAN THEY NOT FIX A BRAKE RECALL (MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN) AND GET AWAY WITH IT? MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS OCT 2020 BUT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR.

BRAKE TRAVEL INTERMEDIATELY DROPS TO THE FLOOR AS DESCRIBED IN FORDS BRAKE RECALL THAT WAS ANNOUNCED IN 2019. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO PROBLEM FOUND. FORD STATED THEY WOULD HAVE A FIX FIRST QUARTER OF 2020, IT IS NOW MARCH 2021 AND THEY HAVE NO FIX YET. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAS BEEN PARKED. I NEED A RESOLUTION TO THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT WAS RAISED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MANKATO FORD (1935 MADISON AVE, MANKATO, MN 56001, (507) 387-3454) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PUSHED THAT VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE HER BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND FAILED TO STOP HER VEHICLE. SHE REPEATEDLY MASHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND DID NOT. SHE WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45-50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WAS DRIVING CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE CITY AND HAD BEEN RAINING. SHE WAS NOT FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY OR GOING TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS. HER BRAKES FAILED. EVEN THOUGH FORD SAYS THIS VEHICLE IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE RECALL, IT IS NOT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNTIL FORD CAN DO THE ISSUED RECALL FOR THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE VALVE. THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AS OF THE DAY I'M TYPING THIS COMPLAINT. RECALL NUMBER 19V-904. I HAVE MADE STATE FARM AWARE AND THEY ARE PERFORMING INVESTIGATIONS. I HAVE HIRED AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS NOT AT FAULT. I HAVE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FORD AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL. SHE WAS CITED IN THE ACCIDENT AND THERE ARE CLAIMS FOR INJURIES AND DAMAGES.*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*DT - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT RECALL (#19S54) ON A 2009 FORD FUSION ([XXX]) THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM RANDY MARION SAV-A-LOT IN HICKORY, NC ON 12/12/20. ON 01/01/21, TWENTY DAYS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED, MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR NOT ONLY MY SON, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP AS HE PUMPED THE BRAKES AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH IS CLONINGER FORD IN HICKORY, NC. WE WERE TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL, ANY REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID FOR BY US BECAUSE A 'REMEDY WAS NOT YET MADE AVAILABLE BY FORD', HOWEVER, THEY WERE ABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, PUT NEW PARTS ON IT & REPAIR THE BRAKES. FORD HAS NOT "RELEASED A BULLETIN". SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BRAKING ISSUE WHEN ABS ENGAGES BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD THE BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THEN DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE LOCAL DEALER LARSON FORD (1150 OCEAN AVE, LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701) WAS CONTACTED AFTER NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) WAS RECEIVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

FORD IS IGNORING THE RECALL ON THE ABS BREAKS. #19V-904. THEY SIMPLY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THESE CARS AND THE NHTSA IS LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS. ITS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED

THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING RECALL FOR THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM THAT CAUSES BRAKES TO NOT SLOW DOWN MY VEHICLE. I NOTICE THIS MORE WHEN IT RAINS OR IS ICY OUTSIDE. RECALL REMEDY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE READY FIRST QUARTER OF 2020; I HAVE GONE THROUGH MORE SETS OF BRAKES AND BRAKE PADS ON THIS VEHICLE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP REMEDY THIS AND NO FORD DEALERSHIP CAN GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER REGARDING WHEN THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE. ONGOING ISSUE FOR NEARLY 3 YEARS NOW.

THE BREAK PEDAL WILL TRAVEL 2/3 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I CAN NEVER TELL IF THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP OR NOT.

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO THE MANUFACTURER RECALL: 19S54. HOW ARE THESE PARTS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2021? IT'S NOW IN THE WINTER MONTHS IN NORTHWEST OHIO AND I CAN'T EVEN BRAKE MY CAR SAFELY IN THE SNOW AND/OR ICE. I NEED TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK AND MAKE ANY OTHER TRIPS, BUT I CAN'T DO IT SAFELY!! WHAT CAN YOU DO TO FIX THIS ISSUE? CAN YOU REFUND ME MY BILL IF I TAKE THIS INTO A SHOP?

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V904. "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BEAVAILABLE LATE FIRST QUARTER 2020". FORD HAS NOT RECIEVED THE PARTS AND OR NOTIFIED ME. I JUST CHATTED WITH THEM ON LINE ABOUT THIS. HERE IS A COPY OF THE CHAT RESPONSE FROM FORD REPRESENTATIVE: "CARISSHA AT 13:07, DEC 15: BASED ON OUR RESOURCES, IT APPEARS PARTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2021 FOR RECALL 19S54 DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FUNCTION. ". THIS IS ALMOT 1 YEAR LATE TO GET THE PARTS. NO UPDATES TO NHSTA WEBSITE THAT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE. AS A GENERAL SIDE NOTE. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE WITH THE RECALL NOTICE ANY INFORMATION THE CONSUMER CAN DO TO THEIR VEHICLE TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF HE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IF POSSIBLE. EXAMPLES 1) WEEKLY CHECK OF BRAKE FLUID, 2) FUNCTION OF DEVICE BEING RECALLED IE TRUNK OR HOOD LATCH... THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.

I HAD THE ABS HCU FAIL. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS. HOWEVER A YEAR LATER FORD STILL DOESNT HAVE TO PART. IS THIS TIMELY? WHAT IS REASONABLE TIME? WHAT AM I TO DO, BUT DRIVE A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM? FORDS SOLUTION IS I PAY TO FIX IT AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME WHAT THEY FEEL IS ADEQUATE. I AM A BIT CONFUSED. DO THEY HAVE THE PARTS? I HAVE THEIR REFUSAL LETTER TO FIX IT AND TEXT THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME TO FIX IT.

BEING IN MOTION THE 15 OF NOVEMBER 2020 I EXPERIENCE AN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL FAILURE SAME AS STATED IN THE JANUARY AND OCTOBER 2020 FORD RECALLS. BECAUSE THE HIGH RISK OF A CRASH MY CAR WAS TOWED THE 18 OF NOVEMBER FOR REPAIR TO MCCOY MILLS FORD IN FULLERTON, CA (PHONE 714-5265501, INVOICE 986572) WHERE THE SERVICE ADVISOR DANIEL INZUNZA CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. WHO DID NOT APPROVED ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THE REQUIRED SPARE PARTS OF THE RECALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL FIRST Q OF 2021 AND SPITE OF THAT FORD MOTOR CO. DID NOT AUTHORIZED A RENTAL CAR. COMPLAINT I REQUIRE AN ASSISTANCE OF A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE SPARE PARTS THAT WERE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE IN 1ST Q OF 2020 WON'T BE UNTIL 1ST Q OF 2021 AND I CAN NOT DRIVE MINE DUE THE HIGH CRASH RISK FOR THE PRESENT EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL FAILURE

AS I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE MAIN IN AND OUT OF THE COMPANY, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN DUE TO THE BREAKS GOING OUT OR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO A LARGE BOULDER. 3-4 DAYS PREVIOUSLY I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON BRAKE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THE NOTICED SAID THAT DUE TO COVID THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX OR PARTS TO REPAIR THE RECALL.

I HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD AND LOSS TOTAL CONTROL OF MY BRAKE SYSTEM, FEELS AS IF I'VE HAD TO PUSH BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

ON THE AFTERNOON OF NOVEMBER 16, 2019, I WAS TRAVELLING THROUGH A SUBURB OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. THE ROAD IS A 4 LANE ROAD, TWO IN EACH DIRECTION. IT IS HEAVILY TRAFFICKED. I WAS TRAVELLING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE HEADING WESTBOUND. TRAFFIC TO THE RIGHT WAS COMING TO A STOP, AS A CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE LANE WITH IT'S FOUR-WAY FLASHERS ON. THE LEFT HAND LANE WAS SLOWING TO A STOP AS A CAR WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO COME TO STOP. MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND I HAD USE BOTH FEET TO HOLD THE BREAK DOWN. AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AND ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS GETTING OLD. MY CAR DID NOT STOP, DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS. AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF THEM - THE ONE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE ON ALL CARS INVOLVED. A MONTH TO TWO MONTHS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY ANTI-LOCK BREAK SYSTEM AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AS THE INSURANCE CLAIM PROGRESSES, I WAS ADVISED BY MY ADJUSTER THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS ACCIDENT TO NHTSA.

19S54 RECALL . SPOKE WITH FORD AND TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. BREAK PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. BEEN ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP THAT FORD WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL FIRST QUARTER OF 2021. IF I WANT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM NOW IT WILL BE $1,300.00 THAT I MAY OR MAY NOT BE REIMBURSED. THE RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR OVER A YEAR, THEY ONLY HAVE THE PARTS IF YOU PAY FOR THEM. PLEASE ASSIST

BRAKING ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING, TWICE LAST WINTER, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND I LOST BRAKING ABILITY TO STOP IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND IS VERY SLOW TO STOP. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF PUMPING THE BRAKE TO GET ANY PRESSURE BACK UP TO BRAKE. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE SHOPS LOOK AT IT AND HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES THEMSELVES AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE LAST SHOP HAD TO BLED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND AIR BUBBLES IN THE LINES THAT NEED TO BE BLED OUT, WHICH SEEMED TO HELP. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WHEN THIS OCCURRED BUT HAVE COME CLOSE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HE WENT TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKE PETAL, IT VIBRATES 4 TIMES AND THEN THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND HE COULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. SINCE THERE WAS A PEDESTRIAN TO HIS RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM WAS SMALLER THAN HIS CAR, HE CHOSE TO DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE THROUGH THE TWO LANES OF VEHICLES. HE ENDED UP HITTING 3 OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE OUR CAR STOPPED. AFTER HE GOT HOME, WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE CAR SINCE WE WERE CONFUSED WHY THE BRAKES FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE SEEING AS WE HAD RECENTLY PUT BRAND NEW $80 BRAKES ON OUR CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM LAST JANUARY, BUT THERE IS NOT A REPLACEMENT PART YET AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO FAULTY PARTS THAT FORD MADE THIS VEHICLE WITH AND NOW MY CAR IS TOTALED AND I DID NOT HAVE COLLISION SO BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ABS SYSTEM, I NOW HAVE NO CAR AND DAMAGED 3 OTHER PEOPLE'S CARS. THANK GOD THIS ACCIDENT WAS NOT FATAL AND NO ONE WAS INJURED TOO BADLY DUE TO THE UNSAFE ABS SYSTEM IN THE 2009 FORD FUSION.*DT*JB - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ABS SYSTEM UNRESPONSIVE,PARKING BRAKE WAS NEEDED JUST TO STOP CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD CAUSING THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO CONSTANTLY PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST HERR FORD OF ROCHESTER (4545 W RIDGE RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14626) WHERE THE DEALER TOOK A PICTURE OF THE VIN AND REFUSED TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A TEST DRIVE WAS UNNECESSARY SINCE THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO O'CONNOR CHEVROLET INC (3850 W. HENRIETTA RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14623) FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY THE UNDERWRITER AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES RANDOMLY CEASE WORKING. THIS HAS LED TO SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS, INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE HIGH-SPEED INCIDENT WHERE THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE AND NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS RECALL FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND HAS YET TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND CLAIM THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, THEY CLAIM IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT AND WILL NOT HELP EITHER. IT IS WILDLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERSHIPS CAN PRODUCE AND SELL CARS WITH BRAKES THAT RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS NO SMALL MATTER, BRAKES THAT SPONTANEOUSLY STOP WORKING ARE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ISSUES THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A CAR, AND SUCH A ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE PUBLIC, THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED US ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO FIX THE BRAKES AND CLAIMED THEY WERE COMPLETELY FIXED. WE ARE CAUGHT IN A VICIOUS CYCLE OF BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO HELP AND CLAIMING THAT IT IS THE OTHER ONE WHO CAN HELP US. THIS IS A KNOWN AND PUBLIC RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V904), AND WE SHOULD NOT BE TERRIFIED OF DYING IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE OUR BRAKES RANDOMLY GO OUT AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES KEEP DODGING RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER TO NO AVAIL, SO WE ARE WRITING TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE APPROXIMATELY 30 - 35 MPH WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES, WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES FLOORED. THE CONTACT ENDED UP CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THEIR LOWER BACK, HIPS AND NECK AREA WHEN MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD NOW LEARNED OF THEIR VEHICLE BEING INCLUDED IN TWO RECALLS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED HOWEVER, FAILED TO RESPOND WHILE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED TO STOP VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TITUS-WILL FORD (3606 S SPRAGUE AVE, TACOMA, WA 98409 (253) 475-4151) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TODAY I EXPERIENCED A FRIGHTENING DEGREE OF BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS ON A FREEWAY OFF RAMP WHICH WAS ON A DOWNGRADE. AS I WAS GOING OVER SOME MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND LOST ABOUT 80% OF THE BRAKES. I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I HAD TO PUSH MY FOOT WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR & IT DID STOP. THIS FAILURE CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 5-7MINUTES WHILE DRIVING IN STOP & GO CITY STREET TRAFFIC. I WAS READY TO PULL OVER AT A SAFE SPOT WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKES RETURNED TO FULL POWER AND CONTINUED TO WORK PROPERLY FOR THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF MY DRIVE. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN OR PASSENGERS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR REGARDING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY CAR. IT WAS DATED JANUARY 2020: 19S54 / NHTSA RECALL 19V-904. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND SEE THAT IT HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS ALREADY. WHEN I CALLED FORD ABOUT THIS NOTICE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY AN 'ALERT' AND THEY'D LET ME KNOW WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THAT WAS 9 MONTHS AGO. THE NOTICE SAID PARTS WERE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE THE LATE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. NOW THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS DEADLY HAZARD, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH EXISTS DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE! I WANT TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED NOW. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS AND PREVENT ANY FUTURE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH.

THE VEHICLE: 2009 FORD FUSION VIN #[XXX] WAS RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MY SON PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2018 FROM DRIVE NOW MOTORS, HILLSBOROUGH BLVD, TAMPA (NOW LOCATED ON FLORIDA AVE.) THE OWNER NAME IS SAM. I ADDED THE VEHICLE TO MY EXISTING INSURANCE WITH WINDHAVEN. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND TOLD US IT WAS FINE. BUT I CONTINUE TO COMPLAINED AFTER THEY MADE ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE IT STILL DID NOT WORK RIGHT FOR ME, BUT THE OWNER DID NOT WANT TO HELP US ANY FURTHER. ON APRIL 10, 2019, THE CAR WAS TOTALED WHEN MY SON LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR DRIVING INTO OUR COMMUNITY WALL. WE REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO WINDHAVEN INSURANCE; THEY OPENED THE CLAIM BUT WE HEARD NOTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. THEY DID PAY FOR THE WALL REPAIR IN OUR COMMUNITY. ALMOST A YEAR LATER, WE RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD (IN JANUARY, 2020). I CONTACTED WINDHAVEN AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE STATE (FIGA) WAS HANDLING THIS CLAIM, AND GIVEN THE 800# TO GET MORE INFORMATION. AFTER MAKING NUMEROUS CONTACT WITH THE FIGA, I WAS TOLD MY INSURANCE WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE WINDHAVEN WENT OUT OF BUSINESS; AND I HAD TO SEND AN EMAIL TO REQUEST MY CLAIM BE REOPENED AND INVESTIGATED WITH THIS NEW (RECALL) INFORMATION. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE BRAKES PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID HE WILL INVESTIGATE AND C

FORD HAS ISSUED AN ADVANCE RECALL NOTICE 19S54 (NHTSA 19V904) WITH INTERIM SUGGESTION OF BRAKE FLUID FLUSH, RESERVOIR CAP REPLACEMENT, AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) TESTING AND REPLACEMENT IF NECESSARY. THE ISSUE IS THAT SOME RECOMMENDED BRAKE FLUIDS HAVE CORROSIVE AGENTS THAT DEGRADE THE HCU AND CAUSE IT TO STICK OPEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD INCREASING THE RISK OF ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE WITH NO ACCIDENTS, BUT IT IS VERY SCARY AS THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUMPED TO WORK PROPERLY. I CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD AGENT WHO HAS DECLINED TO PROVIDE THE RECOMMENDED INTERIM SOLUTION WITH FREE PARTS AND LABOR AS RECOMMENDED ON THE ADVANCE NOTICE. SINCE THE FIRST TIME MY ISSUE HAPPENED WAS PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE AND RESOLVED ITSELF (INTERMITTENT) QUICKLY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN MY VEHICLES SINCE. I DID NOT CONTACT THE FORD DEALER IMMEDIATELY AS I HAD ACCESS TO AN EXTRA VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE LOST THAT ACCESS AND NOW NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SECOND RECALL NOTICE THAT WAS PROMISED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE FOR FINAL SOLUTION. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR INTERIM RESOLUTION AND NEED FORD TO HONOR THE LANGUAGE OF THE ADVANCE RECALL NOTICE SO I FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. BOTH TIMES I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES WAS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. HOWEVER, MY SON EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WHILE ON HIGHWAY DRIVING. I CONFIRMED THE IS

2009 FORD FUSION. HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YEARS. PERIODICALLY, I WOULD NEED TO HIT THE BRAKES HARDER THAN NORMAL TO AVOID SOMEONE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. WHEN I WOULD HIT THE BRAKES HARD, I WOULD LOSE ABOUT 80%-90% OF MY BRAKING ABILITY FOR SOMETIMES DAYS. IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE AND I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SURE I LEFT 100+ YARDS IN FRONT OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AFTER IT HAPPENED. I FINALLY SEE THE 19S54 RECALL COME OUT, AND I WAIT, AND WAIT FOR PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. FINALLY, MONTHS LATER, I HAD THE BRAKES GO COMPLETELY OUT ON ME YESTERDAY 09SEP2020 AND I THEN DECIDED TO CALL FORD ABOUT IT, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL AND STATED THERE WAS NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME BUT THAT IT WAS NOT A CONDITION THAT WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. I DISAGREE. THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AND THEY JUST EXPECT ME TO PAY THE $1,600 RIGHT NOW TO HAVE IT FIXED AND MAYBE GET REIMBURSED LATER. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT UPFRONT KNOWING THERE IS ALREADY A VALID RECALL IN PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON FORDS PART, NOT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOMMODATIONS MADE. AFTER PAYING FOR THE DEALER TO "DIAG" THE PROBLEM, THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE ABS HYD UNIT, CALLED FORD BACK, THEY STILL DIDN'T CARE AND ACTUALLY HUNG UP ON ME FOR STATING THAT I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNSAFE ENOUGH TO NOT WANT TO DRIVE. I WILL BE TAKING THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

BRAKES STARTING GOING TO THE FLOOR ON BUMPS. STARTING HAPPENING FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW ABS SENOR INSTALLED. I DID A REFURBISHED ONE WITH A THREE YEAR WARRANTY IN ORDER TO SAVE SOME MONEY. IT STILL COST @$550.

REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR IN 2016 WITH A REFURBISHED ONE THAT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS 30 MINUTES FROM HOME WITH 3 KIDS AND A DOG IN THE CAR GOING DOWNHILL IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN.I HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1030 TO PUT IN ANOTHER FLAWED SENSOR BECAUSE THEY "HAVE NOT RELEASED THE PARTS" FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE READY IN MARCH. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH FORD (CASE CAS27456010) AND THE BBB (CASE FRD2022027). MEANWHILE I AM CAR-LESS WHILE IT SITS IN THE DEALERS LOT. I JUST SUBMITTED ANOTHER REPORT TO YOU ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT IN 2016.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY BUSINESS ROAD OF 40 MPH MAX WHEN I WAS REQUIRED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOPLIGHT AHEAD. AS I SLOWED I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL CHUGGED AND PROCEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE FLOORBOARD. LUCKILY THE STOPLIGHT HAD CHANGED TO GREEN AND THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME ADVANCED. KNOWING THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL IN CASE I NEEDED TO PULL THE PARKING BRAKE. AS I WAS NEARING A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITHIN A QUARTER MILE FROM MY HOME, I SLOWLY ADVANCED MY VEHICLE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON TO MY HOME. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY. WE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE IN THIS CONDITION. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE NOTICE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED PER FORD (UNTIL NOVEMBER!!)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED WINNER FORD (250 HADDONFIELD-BERLIN RD, CHERRY HILL, NJ 08034, (856) 428-4000) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020 HOWEVER, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM AGAIN, THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE REMEDY WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AS OF AUGUST, OF 2020. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DECLINE IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO PUMP THE BRAKES AFTER COMING TO A STOP, TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROTORS IN THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AT THE SAME DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY FOR RECALL 19V-904. THERE WAS NO FIX OFFERED AT THAT TIME. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TODAY, WHO SAID THERE IS STILL NO FIX OR PARTS AVAILABLE. WITH A RECALL NOTICE LIKE THIS INVOLVING A BRAKE PEDAL POTENTIALLY GOING TO THE FLOOR, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT CALLED SUBURBAN FORD OF WATERFORD (6975 HIGHLAND RD, WATERFORD TWP, MI 48327), AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2009 FORD FUSION HAS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEM IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK STOP EVENT. I RECEIVED THE 19V-904 RECALL NOTICE, HOWEVER FORD IS NOT SUPPLYING THE PARTS TO THE DEALER. FOR THIS REASON, I CAN NOT GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. MY FUSION EXHIBITS A SEVERE LOW BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK STOP IN THE WINTER, AND IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK STOP EVENT. I'M AFRAID I WILL END UP IN AN ACCIDENT, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WON'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS OF THIS WRITING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA PUT SOME PRESSURE ON FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO GET THE PARTS TO THEIR DEALERS SO WE CAN HAVE OUR VEHICLE REPAIRED. WE'VE WAITED A COUPLE YEARS FOR FORD TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL NOTICE FROM JANUARY 2020 STATES THAT "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE LATE FIRST QUARTER 2020." IT IS NOW EARLY THIRD QUARTER, AND STILL NO PARTS. FORD EITHER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR TIMELY REPAIRS, OR SHOULD BE FORCED TO OFFER A FULL NADA RETAIL BUYBACK OF THESE CARS.

ON MY 2009 FORD FUSION: THE BRAKES STARTED GETTING SOFTER AND TAKING LONGER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I HAVE PULLED AND TESTED THE MASTER CYLINDER THE BRAKES ARE FINE AND ARE NOT LOW, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN BLED, WENT THROUGH 2 LARGE BOTTLES OF DOT 3 FLUID, CALIPERS TESTED, BUT THE BRAKES ARE STILL SOFT AND WILL NOT CATCH UNTIL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I WENT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY ELUDED TO THE IDEA THAT THERE WAS A FIX FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE ABS VALVE, I GOT THERE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX AND THE RECALL ISSUE HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASHES AND IT WOULD NOT CAUSE MY BRAKES TO GO SOFT. I CORRECTED HIM AND SAID IT HAS CAUSED CRASHES AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRAKES. I CANNOT ORDER A NEW ABS MODULE, NO PARTS COMPANIES HAVE THEM. SO THE CAR BARELY STOPS AND STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON HITTING A BUMP WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ABS CEASED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
