2009 Ford Fusion complaints

DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) HAS FAILED. HAVING THE REPAIRS DONE AND WILL COST $1600.

TAKATA RECALL LOCAL DEALER SAYS NO PARTS AVAILABLE I RECEIVED LETTER IN MAY 2018, REPEATED CALLS RESULT IN "NO" NOW ITS JANUARY 2019!

WITH ANTISKID ACTIVATED TRYING TO STOP IN AN EXPEDITED MANNER FROM 30MPH BRAKES LOST ALL PRESSURE. PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. WITH NORMAL BRAKING THEY WORK JUST FINE. TESTED BRAKES ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND SPEED DOES NOT MATTER. WHEN THE ANTISKID TRIES TO STOP THE CAR YOU LOOSE ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AND CAR CONTINUES TO TRAVEL FORWARD WITH NO BRAKING. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE CAR. THERE IS NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON AT THIS TIME OR DURING THE EVENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FELT SPONGY. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,900. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE SLOWING ON A HIGHWAY TO TURN ONTO A SIDE ROAD, THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. THE ABS ENGAVED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT, AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. NEARLY ALL BRAKING ABILITY WAS LOST.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL BECAUSE IT HAS A PASSENGER TAKATA AIR BAG. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CHECKED WITH MY DEALER, SHEEHY FORD IN GAITHERSBURG, MD ABOUT THE DATE MY VEHICLE WILL BE RECALLED. THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION AND NO ADVICE FOR ME EXCEPT TO CONSIDER TRADING THE VEHICLE IN. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO ME.

WHILE IN MOTION THE BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR AFTER HITTING AND UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES (POTHOLE, R/R TRACKS) WHILE BRAKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT STOP TILL AFTER THE DESIRED STOPING LOCATION OR AFTER PASSING THROUGH STOP/RED LIGHTS, OR NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFETY MAKE A DESIRED TURN. AFTER SAID EVENT IT TAKES DAYS SOMETIMES WEEKS FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO RETURN TO 'NORMAL' FEEL. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO FEEL SPONGY AND THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED FURTHER DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED TOM HOLZER FORD AT 248-474-1234 (LOCATED AT 39300 W 10 MILE RD, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48335) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY UNABLE TO OBTAIN SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL FOR OVER ONE YEAR. EVERY CALL TO THE DEALER IS REBUFFED WITH THE MESSAGE THAT I MUST BE A CRANK OF SOME KIND FOR WANTING THIS RECALL SERVICE TO BE DONE. AIRBAGS ARE IMPORTANT AND THEY SHOULD FIX THEM IN A REASONABLE TIME, NOT MAKE ME WAIT YEARS WITH AN UNSAFE PRODUCT.

AFTER HITTING A PIECE OF ICE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN AND DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO, HOWEVER SINCE THIS HAPPEN MY BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO'S TO THE FLOOR BARELY STOPPING MY VEHICLE, THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEM, BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG AS BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD NOT BE THAT SOFT AND GO TO THE FLOOR. I LOOKED THIS UP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WITH OTHER FORD FUSIONS AND FOUND THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD FUSIONS, ISN'T THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS NO LIGHT TO INDICATE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS OR MY PEDAL WOULDN'T BE GOING TO THE FLOOR.

I HAVE BRAND NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON. A FEW WEEKS AGO ON A SNOWY DAY I HAD TO ENGAGE THE ABS SYSTEM. AFTER THAT I HAVE A VERY SOFT SPONGY BRAKE FEEL TO MY BRAKES. IT IS TAKING FULL ENGAGING OF BRAKES TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP NOW. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS SAFE.

CAR LOST BRAKING PRESSURE WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW/ICY CONDITIONS IN SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY 2018. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED FAULTY ABS HCU, BUT SOMEHOW "RESET" THE SYSTEM WHEN WORKING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CONSEQUENTLY CHOSE NOT TO REPLACE THE UNIT. DROVE WITHOUT ANY BRAKING ISSUES UNTIL DRIVING AGAIN RECENTLY IN SNOW/ICY CONDITIONS, AND SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED. UNPREDICTABLE, REDUCED BRAKING CONTINUING IN ALL SURFACE CONDITIONS AND SPEEDS SEVERAL DAYS AFTER PROBLEM WAS REINTRODUCED. PEDAL CAN TRAVEL NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WITH DECREASED STOPPING POWER, BUT PUMPING THE BRAKES CAN SOMETIMES TEMPORARILY REINTRODUCE NORMAL BRAKE PEDAL "TRAVEL." PROBLEM APPARENTLY KICKS IN WHEN ABS IS ACTIVATED BUT PERSISTS AFTERWARD.

THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME SOFT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELLED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE SLOWING FOR AN INTERSECTION ON A WET ROAD. IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED PROPERLY. THE BRAKES REMAINED SOFT AFTER THAT AND ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

DURING ACCELERATION, TYPICALLY GETTING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN LET OFF. PROBLEM IS MOMENTARY AND STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE AND TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL. HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF.

AFTER AN ABS SITUATION WHEN SLOWING ON A SLICK ROADWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR DANGEROUSLY REDUCING BRAKING PRESSURE INCREASING STOP TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TOOK AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS PUMP AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND FOLLOWED UP BY A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

AFTER DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS ON A CITY STREET, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WE COULD NOT STOP. WE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES MANY TIMES. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ABS HCU HAS FAILED.

DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION, THE ABS RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, SEVERELY LIMITING MY ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOY THE BRAKES AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE 5 DAYS AGO. ROAD CONDITIONS DON'T SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. IT IS OCCURRING IN WET AND DRY CONDITIONS AND ON BOTH PAVED AND ROUGH ROADS.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE TAKATA RECALL (PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR) IN FEBRUARY 2018. IT IS ALMOST DECEMBER 2018. IF THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY IS THE RECALL STATUS STILL LISTED AS: "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE"?? WHEN WILL A REMEDY BE AVAILABLE??

MY WIFE BRAKED ABRUPTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTERWARD, NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR BEFORE SHE COULD STOP. SHE SAID IT SEEMED LIKE THE PEDAL HAD LOST ALL FUNCTION.

BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR AFTER ABS INITIATED (SKID ON ICE). REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO STOP VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID IS FULL AND MASTER CYLINDER IS NOT COMPROMISED

TAKATA INFLATORS I BOUGHT MY FUSION IN 2013 . MAYBE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER ONE DAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF THE BLUE. MY CAR WARRENTY AT THE I BELIEVE EXPIRED. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGE I BELIEVE $99 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I MAYBE WRONG I MAY NEED TO FIND THE REPORT FROM BACK IN 2014 BUT I BELIEVE THEY SAID IT WAS A BAG AIR INSTALLED IN ON PASSENGER SIDE AND IT WOULD BE 900 TO FIX. I SAID NO BECAUSE I WAS A STUDENT I COULDN'T AFFORD THAT. I HAVE JUST ACCEPTED THE FACT IT WAS NO GOOD. I THEN SEE THIS RECALL I GOT NOTIFIED ON AND IT GOT ME WONDERING. SO I JUST WANTED TO SEND THIS TO BE NOTED UNDER MY VIN.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR SINCE 2009, WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT IS SERVICES ON REGULAR INTERVALS. RECENTLY, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO AGGRESSIVELY BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION ON A BLIND CORNER DURING TRAVEL ON A HIGHWAY. THE ABS KICKED IN DO TO WET, SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. SINCE THEN, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SOFT AND REQUIRE ME TO NEARLY FULLY DEPRESS TO SAFELY STOP. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON RESPONSE TO ABS ACTIVATION IN THIS VEHICLE.

AFTER BRAKING WHEN THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED THERE IS A LOSS OF PRESSURE IN THE CAR'S BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH FORCES THE DRIVER TO PRESS MUCH HARDER ON THE PEDAL TO BRING IT TO A STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY "SOFT" AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME BUT ALWAYS OCCUR AFTER THE ABS HAS BEEN ACTIVATED . THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS BUT THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE REPORTED IT.

THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BECOME SOFT OR SQUISHY AND I MUST PUSH IT HARDER FOR THE CAR TO STOP. THIS STARTED AFTER I HIT THE BRAKES WHILE IT WAS RAINING. MY CAR SLID BUT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP AS I MANUEVERED AROUND A STOPPED CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME AND THE TRAFFIC CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT AHEAD. THIS SOFT BRAKE PEDAL HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AFTER BRAKING ON BUMPY ROADS OR IN THE SNOW. THE FIRMNESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS COME BACK IN ALL PREVIOUS OCCASIONS BUT HAS NOT YET IN OVER A WEEK IN THIS CURRENT SITUATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A NOTICE MONTHS AGO CONCERNING THE RECALL. I CALLED TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS. ONE IN OZARK MO AND ONE IN SPRINGFIELD MO. BOTH ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A RECALL. BOTH SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS. NEITHER DEALERSHIP EVER CALLED ME TO INSTALL NEW AIRBAG.I THEN RECEIVED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SETTLEMENT. I AM ENTERING THE DATE OF 9/5/18 BECAUSE IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS WAS THE DATE OF THE PRELIMINARY APPROVAL HEARING.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 6 MONTHS FOR PARTS ON RECALL 18V046. ONLY TO BE TOLD EVERY MONTH THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NOT SURE THIS IS THE VENUE TO COMPLAIN

WHILE BRAKING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE BREAK PEDAL SUDDENLY LOST PRESSURE PREVENTING THE BREAKS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. I ROLLED PAST THE CORNER, THIS WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT. I LIFTED MY FOOT PUMPING THE BREAKS, IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE PRESSURE. I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT AT LEAST 80% OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. THIS LASTED ABOUT 12 HOURS. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT IT WILL COME AND GO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY HAVE ALREADY CAUSED ACCIDENTS BUT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES IT'S HARD TO FIND IT. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM FORD!

AS I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) AFTER GOING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT THE BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS BUT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. I WAS GOING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BUT AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON THE BRAKES HAD POWER AGAIN.

BRAKES FAIL AND GO TO FLOOR RANDOMLY DESPITE REPAIRING EVERY KNOWN PART ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER TWICE THIS WEEK.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR ABOUT THE RECALL, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE IT GOES OFF BY ITSELF. I CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE LETTER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR IT. THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. THAT WAS AROUND JANUARY OF 2018.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2009 FORD FUSION IN 2012.. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 MORE NOTICES SINCE THEN. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS FOR THE RECALL YET AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN A SOLUTION. IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. I EXPECT EITHER MY AIRBAGS BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY OR FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS A DIFFERENT CAR, CONSIDERING THE AIRBAGS AREN'T SAFE.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW WITH A MONTH BETWEEN INCIDENCES. I STOPPED ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE ON A CITY/TOWN STREET, AND THEN THE BRAKES LET GO A LITTLE AND WE'RE SOFT THE REST OF MY DRIVE. THE SECOND TIME I HEARD AND FELT A VIBRATION AS THE BRAKES STOPPED HOLDING AND I HAD TO PRESS HARDER. BOTH TIMES THE BRAKES HAVE EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO NORMAL, TWO HOURS LATER THE FIRST TIME AND 24 HOURS LATER THE SECOND. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THOUGH IT IS FINE NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN THE BRAKES WILL STOP BEING EFFECTIVE. I DO A LOT OF DRIVING AND I LIVE IN A HILLY PART OF THE COUNTRY THAT GETS SNOW IN THE WINTERS. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRUST MY CAR BRAKES WILL NOT GIVE OUT ON ME ALL OF A SUDDEN.

PROBLEM WITH BRAKES, SPONGIE, GOING TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BRAKES ROTORS AND CALIPERS THE WHOLE WAY AROUND THE VEHICLE. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ONLY 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MECHANIC TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT WHY DOES IT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN 2 ACCIDENTS DUE TO BRAKES FAILING. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED AND HOW CAN I HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. IT IS WORSE WHEN IT IS WET OR RAINING OUT. ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKES GO TO FLOOR AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP EVEN WHEN PUMPING THE BRAKES.

HOWEVER I HAVEN'T HEAR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE RECALL. I EVEN CHATTED WITH ONE OF THE AGENTS OF FORD, SHE SAID THE MODEL IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 10 MONTHS FROM THE CHAT NOW.

TAMARA RECALL
