Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.

Risk. A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle entered limp mode and failed to accelerate as intended. The transmission ran poorly, making it difficult to merge, and the contact expressed concern regarding a potential crash. Following the failure, the hill brake assist turned off. The brake pedal bumper and stop pad fractured, causing the vehicle to enter limp mode. The contact called the dealer and was informed that a diagnostic test was required to determine the cause of the failure. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

On XXX, while my 2014 Ford Fusion was moving, the left-front door latch failed and the door became unsecured. As a result, I partially fell from the moving vehicle. This was an actual occupant safety event and created a significant risk of serious injury. After the incident, I took the vehicle to Richmond Ford Lincoln for inspection and repair. On XXX, the dealership performed a door-latch recall repair. The dealership service order, SO #XXX, identifies the repair request as “DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT 20R01 - L/F DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.” The service order identifies the cause as “recall” and documents the correction as “performed recall replaced latches.” The parts listed include a door latch and cable assembly, and the invoice total was $0.00. The dealership's documentation therefore confirms that a door-latch recall repair was required on this vehicle. The recall repair occurred eight days after the XXX incident. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident in connection with Ford Fusion door-latch recalls and related programs and determine whether the XXX failure represents a failure of a recalled component, a prior recall remedy, or another safety defect. I request that NHTSA review the recall and campaign history associated with VIN [XXX], the specific door-latch program applicable to this vehicle, whether the failed latch had previously been repaired or replaced, and whether additional investigation or corrective action is warranted. The vehicle was repaired on XXX. I have

I had a recall on my 2014 ford fusion se regarding powertrain control module software update. I took my vehicle in to Athens ford 6/8/26 to have this fixed then on Friday my car lost power while driving, would not go l, then when I cut it off & back on it was like it went in to failsafe or limp mode. I called Athens ford 5 times on Friday & got no answer, 3 on Monday with no answer then found the number of the lady I dealt with in June. If I paid to have it towed there they could run diagnostics on it she said bc the mobile technicians couldn’t come out and do it. So I log in to my ford account and it showed this recall on the recall I had done it June. I screenshot it and sent it to her and she said it didn’t show it I needed to contact customer care. They told me the same thing that it didn’t show it. So I done a screen recording today of me logging in to my ford account and this is what it showed. Sent that to her and all they can respond is contact customer care. So I’m reaching out with this proof of what it shows and that being exactly what my car done and ford refusing to help me. I ruptured my acl and had surgery and have drs appt and physical therapy twice a week and this is the “courtesy” I get from ford Joni Spikes 7067654293 I have the screen recording but I can’t attach it for some reason

Took car in May to hemborg ford they replaced my brake bumper it was on recall. Took car back on August 3 of 2026 brake lights staying on. Had them recheck the recall again thought it might be that. I was told it was not the issue. I needed to change out brake switch and had to pay diagnostic fee so a total of just under 300. My brake lights stay on while driving my car and when we park the car. they had my car 3 days then picked up my car on August 5 Drove it home and immediately noticed still having the same issues.Brake lights on even after I Called dealer and brought car back in. They kept my car 2 more days then I received a call it would be 200 for a brake flush they were confident that it would fix the light issue. And now we would we have to pay for another repair. A brake flush for brake lights staying on didn’t make sense. We felt we were being upsold for something we didn’t need and they had no answere for us! We declined the second repair and picked up car on 8/07/2026 and still the brake lights are staying on while driving the car. We woke up to looking out our window and noticed lights were on . Mind you the car had not been driven for hrs and the lights turned themselves on while car was parked. Skip to Sunday driving home from in laws and dash lights up. It says hillside assist and yellow wrench pops up. I fear my daughters safety and feel it is unsafe now. Called Ford to make a complaint. But meanwhile I have a car that we need but feel unsafe to drive. Our c

The backup camera is faulty and will sporadically stop working. Sometimes it will stop working in the middle of backing up. When it doesn't work the screen will either go black, flicker on and off, show a reversed image, or show an image with blue lines through it. This has put my safety at risk multiple times as I've been backing up and suddenly the image will disappear. We've taken the car into an independent service shop. They were unable to solve the issue and their only solution was to replace the system for $600. There was no warning before this started happening, however it does seem to be getting worse as time goes on. It only works about 10% of the time now.

All brake lights are stuck on after turning the car off.

My backup camera is malfunctioning and Ford denied to fit it through their 15 year extended warranty on backup cameras.

They back up camera works when it wants to

Backup camera doesn’t work.

SUBJECT: URGENT COMPLAINT: Deceptive Practices/Misrepresentation & Services Not Rendered (Woodhouse Ford of Omaha) I. Actionable Safety Issue Summary This complaint concerns fraudulent billing and dangerous misrepresentation by Woodhouse Ford of Omaha, which claimed a vehicle's 3rd rack and pinion system was "safe" on 2/19/2026 after a known safety issue, following a previous failure. They further charged $219.22 for unrendered/improper ABS programing repairs that was not successful because the electric rack and pinion is defective on 3/5/2026 and fabricated invoice records to shift liability.

III. Nature of the Dispute 1.Safety Hazard/Misrepresentation (2/19/2026): Service Manager Jeremy Sullivan and Tech Anthony Rubio stated the vehicle’s rack and pinion was "safe" despite a prior failure.
