LOW BRAKE ENGAGEMENT FOLLOWING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM EVENT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. AFTER THIS EVENT, I WOULD NEED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN MORE THAN IT SHOULD NEED TO BE PUSHED IN ORDER TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. TOM HOLZER FORD IN FARMINGTON HILLS, MI REPLACED A HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE UNIT AS WELL AS A FRONT RIGHT LOWER SIDE CALIPER PIN THAT WAS FROZEN.
FORD AIR BAG RECALL. FORD UNABLE TO REPAIR IN A REASONABLE TIME. AFTER YEARS OF EARNING TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND NOTING NONE WERE AVAILABLE, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM MY STATE DMV TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED. I CALLED FORD TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTIME TO DO THE WORK UNTIL 1 OCTOBER. I CONSIDER THE YEARS OF WAIT AND THEN REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL 6 WEEKS NOTICE TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT UNREASONABLE.
TAKATA RECALL. I KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES FROM FORD MO. CO., I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN, THEY WANT ME TO SIGN A WAIVER THATS SAYS, THERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE WHILE THE CAR IS IN THERE POSSION.THE LETTER FROM FORD SAYS WE WILL BE GIVEN A LONER CAR TO USE, THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS NO !. IF THE MECHANIC DOES DAMAGE THERE NOT RESPONSIBLE, IF ITS LOST ARE STOLEN, BACKED INTO WHILE SITTING ON THEIR PROPERTY, BROKEN INTO, THERE NOT RESPONSIBLE !!! *TT *TR
TAMARA RECALL FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 2 YEARS. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SPONGY BRAKES. I BRAKED OVER A POTHOLE AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND HIT THE FLOOR! I NOW HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO WORK. I GOT MY BRAKES FLUSHED AND THEY WENT BACK TO NORMAL. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I HAD TO BRAKE HARD DUE TO ABRUPT STOP ON THE INTERSTATE. IT TOOK ABOUT A WEEK TO GET THEM BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS.
WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THEY START WORKING. THIS HAPPEN ONCE DURING WINTER WHEN I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND AFTER A WEEK OR SO IT FIXED ITSELF. BUT SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AS I WAS BRAKING AT A LIGHT I HIT A POTHOLE AND IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN AND HAS NOT REPAIRED ITSELF. I READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS TYPE OF CAR FACES WITH THE ABS SYSTEM.
ON AUG 8, 2019 MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CROSSED OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I PRESSED MY BRAKE AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I HAD AN 'EMPTY' FEELING IN MY BRAKE PEDAL. I COULD PRESS THE BRAKE PADDLE COMPLETELY DOWN WITHOUT MUCH RESISTANCE. HAD MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS CHECKED NEXT DAY BUT ALL 100%. LEARNED THAT THE HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) UNIT WAS AFFECTED. A KNOWN FORD FUSION FAILURE AND COSTLY TO REPLACE!!! RECALL FORD!!!
ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED ON A GRAVEL ROAD WHEN BRAKING. BRAKES ARE NOW SOFT AFTER ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED. LIKE SO MANY OTHER FUSION OWNERS, THIS IS A HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MALFUNCTION.
SERVICE BRAKES GOES TO THE FLOOR UPON NORMAL BRAKING CAUSING A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE
SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL, BRAKES SEEM TO START TO GRAB THEN PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND I'M SCARED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CAR HAS 93K MILES. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD
HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A BRAKE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES PADS. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED, THE BRAKES STILL FELT OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO STOP COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC WHO THEN REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC, HE LOOKED OVER THE AIR AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY I WENT TO DUNPHY FORD WHERE THE GREETER STAYED HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE I FINISHED EXPLAINING THE COMPLETE ISSUE. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS THE HCU (WHICH OF COURSE WAS ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE) SO I HAD IT REPLACED. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR IT FELT FINE FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS. THE. THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED THE CAR TO FORD, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE REAR ROTORS. I ASKED HOW COULD THEY MISS THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED THE HCU, THERE WAS NO ANSWER. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THAT NIGHT I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING OFF, MY BRAKES NOW MADE A VERY LOUD SQUEALING SOUND AND SORT OF CLANKING SOUND EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. WELL I CHECKED EVERY TIRE AND FOUND ONE OF THE LUG NUTS WAS LOOSE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. CALLED THEM AND HAD HE CAR & BRAKES LOOKED OVER ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY TIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS AND 'BUFFED' THE ROTORS. THE BRAKES STILL MAKE A PRETTY LOUD SOUND WHEN I BRAKE BUT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT TH
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET THIS TAKATA AIRBAG FIXED. WHEN I CALL A FORD LOCATION ( LOCAL DEALERSHIP/CUSTOMER SERVICE) THEY TELL ME MY CAR HAS BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY FUSION ANYWHERE FOR THIS RECALL FIX. I HAVE MADE OVER 30 PHONE CALLS TO FORD. THERE IS A VIN NUMBER MIX UP IN THE FORD SYSTEM. ANOTHER CAR WAS REPAIRED USING MY VIN#. MY AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. FORD TELLS ME THAT IT HAS. PLEASE HELP!
ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE TO NOW. WHENEVER THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES (HARD BRAKING TO DUE SNOW/ICE OR OBSTRUCTION AVOIDANCE), IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES INCREDIBLY SPONGY OR NON-EXISTENT AND BRAKING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ENGAGING THE HAND BRAKE. I'VE HAD THE PADS, ROTORS, REAR CALIPERS, AND SLIDE PINS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PULL OVER ANS SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART IT TENDS TO WORK UNTIL YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE COME UP. .
LOW BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A HARD STOP
MY STEERING IS HARD TO TURN SO.E TIME AND MY SEAT. WILL NOT PULL UP IN MY CAR AND GAS I SOME TIME SMALL GAS
BRAKES GO NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE ENGAGING AND STOPPING VEHICLE. SPONGY. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER WITH NEW, NO HELP. REPLACED ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT WITH USED UNIT, AND NO HELP, BUT SUSPECT THE REPLACEMENT UNIT IS FAULTY ALSO. VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP WELL.
BREAK PEDAL BECOMES SPONGY AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE. CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLACE THE MASTER BREAK CYLINDER, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE NEXT MOVE IS TO REPLACE THE MCU. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE SIMILAR REPORTS HERE TO MINE. I'M VERY CONCERNED THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS REVEALING ITSELF TO BE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY TO FORD CONSUMERS.
MY BRAKES GO OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY WHEN THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BUMP THAT I MIGHT HIT ON THE ROAD. FIRESTONE HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, BRAKE FLUID, AND MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE RESEARCH I DID SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ABS MODULE. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN ONLINE FORUMS WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NOT A FORD RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM?
TAKATA RECALL THE REPLACEMENT R- SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED AFTER 1 YEAR RECALL WAITING. NOW THE INSTALLED AIRBAG SHOWS YELLOW FOAM TYPE COMING OUT FROM ACCROSS THE TOP OF THE AIR BAG ON THE DASH BOARD. NOTIFIED COCCIA FORD- THEY SAID DRIVE IT IN TO BE CHECKED ON MONDAY MAY 20 2019-SAID-OK TO DRIVE IT.
I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING TO FORD MECHANICS OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOS ANGELES OF THIS BRAKING-PROBLEM SINCE SOMETIME AROUND 2014! I HAD EXPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN MOTION (DRIVING THE CAR) AND I WOULD BE PASSING THROUGH A ROUGH SECTION OF STREET (MANY POT-HOLES) AND WOULD NEED TO BRAKE DUE TO TRAFFIC, AND THEN I WOULD LOSE PRESSURE ON MY BRAKING-PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FIVE-YEARS (AT LEAST I RECALL 6 TIMES)'ONE OF THOSE TIMES I ALMOST HAD A BIG ACCIDENT, LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING ON A NON-HIGH-TRAFFIC STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET WHERE NO-CARS WERE PARKED'LUCKILY. SO, IN SOME OF THIS OCCASIONS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (QUICK LANE TIRE & AUTO CENTER THAT WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP) AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION ABOUT THE BRAKING PROBLEM. 'WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AND GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH OF THE STREET (UNEVEN STREET WITH POTHOLES AND OTHER POSSIBLE STREET HOLES) AND WOULD NEED TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WOULD LOSE PRESSURE AND GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR''SO THEY WOULD ONLY ADJUST THE BRAKES AND THAT WAS IT. 'THIS PAST MAY 4 2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH OF THE STREET I HAD TO BRAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE (TO THE FLOOR)!! LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO POINT TO THE HCU ABS LOOSING PRESSURE WHEN GOING THROUGH ROUGH SECTIONS OF A STREET AND APPLYING THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT WE STILL DO NOT K
BRAKES GO TO FLOOR. NO LEAKS, MASTER CYLINDER IS OK, ROTORS PADS ARE NEW.
TAKATA RECALL, NOT GETTING DONE, I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR MORE THEN 5MOS TO GET THIS RECALL DONE, 3 TIMES THE DEALER (DELACY FORD) HAS TOLD ME THEY ORDERED THE PART AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT COMES IN..NEVER GET A CALL, I HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH MORE BROKEN PROMISES. THEY EVEN CALLED A SECOND DEALER (BASIL FORD) AND SAID THAT DEALER WOULD CALL ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, 3 WEEKS LATER, STILL NO CALL.
THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM 2011 TO NOW. WHENEVER THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES (HARD BRAKING TO DUE SNOW/ICE OR OBSTRUCTION AVOIDANCE), IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES INCREDIBLY SPONGY OR NON-EXISTENT AND BRAKING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ENGAGING THE HAND BRAKE. I'VE HAD THE PADS, ROTORS, REAR CALIPERS, AND SLIDE PINS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO MATTER WHAT PARTS I THROW AT MY CAR, NOTHING SEEMS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE.
DRIVING THROUGH TOWN ON A SUNNY DAY WHEN THE LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME TURNED RED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP. AFTER THE BUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND I WAS FORCED TO ROLL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I WAS TERRIFIED. THANKFULLY, I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL REMAINED SPONGY. IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS ABOUT 30% BRAKING POWER. I HAD A TOTAL BRAKE REPLACEMENT LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO. PADS, ROTORS, BLED THE LINES, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS.
TAKATA RECALL I HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 3/28/19 WE HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 3/26/19 A CAR HIT US AT A RED LIGHT TOTALED THE CAR THE AIRBAG HIT ME IN THE CHEST BRUISES AND CUTS . I WAS THE PASSENGER MY HUSBAND THE DRIVER HE LACERATIONS MOSTLY . I ALSO HAD BROKEN ANKLE ON THE RIGHT FOOT AND A SPRAIN ON THE LEFT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. CAR WAS IN MOTION.
THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 3-4 YEARS AGO. MY WIFE WAS BRAKING AT A STOP LIGHT AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN WHICH THE BREAK PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A FULL STOP EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A LOT LONGER TO DO SO. SHE PULLED OVER AND I HAD TO PICK HER UP AND TOOK THE CAR INTO A LOCAL BREAK REPAIR CHAIN. BY THE TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT THE BREAKS WERE WORKING FINE AGAIN. WHEN WE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED SINCE THE LOCATIONS INDICATED WET OR DIRTY BREAK FLUID CAN CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES TO MY WIFE AND SHE DECIDED SHE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. I THEN STARTED DRIVING AND AGAIN IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO IN WHICH I WAS BREAKING AND RAN OVER A MANHOLE COVER THE BREAKS WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER BREAK SPECIALIST FRANCHISE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR OR ON THE INTERNET ALTHOUGH THE BREAKS PEDAL HAS BECOME SOFT AND HAS REMAINED THAT WAY. BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED AGAIN FOR BEING DIRTY. MY BREAKS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE SOFT AND WILL REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN BRAKING AND HITTING A BUMP BUT APPEARS TO BE ONLY WHEN THE BUMP HITS THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. I NEED TO GET MY BREAK PADS REPLACED NOW AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T FORD RECALLED THIS PRODUCT OR DOING ANYTHING TO
WHILE DRIVING IN TO WORK ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD COME OFF. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP TO GET FIXED. EACH TIME IT WAS THE IDLER PULLEY BOLT BEING BROKEN. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THERE IS A LOUD CLINKING SOUND AND THE CAR GROWLS.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT UNLIKE THE OTHER TIMES MY PEDAL HAS NOT COME BACK ON WEEK # 2 OF BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 09 FUSIONS. WHEN WILL WE GET A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL STARTED TO MOVE IN A NORMAL MOTION THEN VIBRATED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS ALMOST MADE ME REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS IT. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SOFT EVER SINCE. UPON LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT STILL DOES NOTHING. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.
TAKATA RECALL - AFTER RECEIVING WRITTEN NOTICES OF THE RECALL, I APPROACHED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE REPAIR (KOONS FALLS CHURCH FORD). I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MAKING AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVING THE PART ORDERED TO ONLY BE TOLD "THEY DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF IF". I CALLED TODAY, AFTER I WAS TOLD THE PART SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED A WEEK AGO, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN IT WOULD COME IN. AND THAT "GIVEN THAT THE COMPANY'S RECENTLY GONE OUT OF BUSINESS" I SHOULD EXPECT IT TO BE QUITE A WHILE. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ONLY IMPACTED MY PASSENGER SIDE AND TO NOT SIT THERE.
AFTER EMERGENCY STOP BRAKES BECAME SOFT, THEY WOULD PUMP UP BUT WOULD NOT STAY UP. HAD CAR REPAIRED NEW HCU VERY COSTLY (1500 DOLLARS) I SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS

NOW IT'S BACK, AFTER I HAD TO BRAKE IN THE SNOW AT A LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY ARE BACK TO BEING SPONGY AND I HAVE TO PUSH DOWN FURTHER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

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.
