This recall began in june of 2016.a year and a half later, i have not been contacted by ford to have these airbags replaced.i feel this is too much time to be driving around with faulty airbags that could lead to personal injury to myself and others
Dash board around passenger air bag bubbling out, lifting up, air bag light stays on in car. Worried air bag might deploy when it's not suppose to or not deploy when i need it to.
Recall notice issued june 1, 2016 and parts are still not available to replace the passenger side airbag.this is not acceptable.is nhtsa putting any pressure on the automakers to remedy this situation?surely if they can develop a new car and have it on the market in two years, they can have one component developed and available in two years.this delay in getting airbag components to the public is totally unacceptable.
"takata recall" - i purchased a 2008 ford fusion in 2010 with only 19,000 miles.during the month of july 2013, it was a very hot summer day, 90 degrees and my car windows were shut tight. My car sat in the parking lot during working hours at least 9 hours. At this time, i had 33,000 miles on this car and my first ford vehicle purchased. I entered inside, i noticed on the instrument panel on the front passenger side the air bag had popped up along the perimeter. I was able to see the foam material underneath the airbag. Immediately, i was concerned and notified the hq ford motor company. I request to be transferred to the recall department. I asked if they had any complaints or recalls on the ford fusion front passenger airbag. Her response was "no". I informed her of the occurrence in detail and felt action must be taken immediately.i requested to please note this in file for any future calls. I had offered to send a picture of it but i was told it was not necessary.i politely asked what my options were and what steps are needed. She replied, it was not ford's responsibility and recommend i drive my vehicle to the nearest dealership. I expressed how imperative it was to forward this information. I took my vehicle to the nearest dealership, explained the safety issue and it must be taken care of immediately. I was told it was not their responsibility, the cost would be $2,500.00 out of my pocket.i was shocked!i left the dealership unhappy and disappointed. It is now 2016, i have 72,000 on my vehicle, the problem remains the same. It has not been repaired, i refuse to pay. I never received any notice in the mail. I am very disturbed by this. As it stands, there is a recall on the front passenger ip but unable to repair due to part not available?i would appreciate if someone can please help and assist me.thank you!

Takata recall - safety recall 16s26 was issued june 2016. Over a year later, no remedy has been identified and offered.
I am the original purchaser of a 2008 ford fusion with a problem with the passenger side dash buckling at the bottom of where the airbag is . This causes me concern about the airbag deploying at any time even if it is not in an accident or if needed to deploy and it fails to do so . Help !!! i am not the only ford owner with this issue .the problem first began being noticeable in 2012 and has progressively gotten worse.

Takata recall this is not a new recall and all ford will say is that they are working to get parts to fix the problem..with no idea of when this might be taken care of..this is a very dangerous situation. Nothing has happened..am i to understand that until i or my loved ones are injured that i can not even enter a complaint?
I noticed the area where the passenger side airbag is is bulging from the dash.when i went to start the car it would turn over and immediately cut out.airbag icon is lit up on dash as is the engine light.repeated efforts to start and keep going were unsuccessful.since i was on my way to work i kept trying.finally got going and traveling approximately 20 mph and the car just completely shuts down.got started again and proceeded to work and it happened again going about 35 mph.ran fine for a couple of days, back to the same old thing today with the airbag light staying on.i have read of this issue before however i could not find that report today.it is very dangerous to be traveling along and have the car completely shut down on you.ford really needs to take care of this issue.i am contemplating reporting this to a news station because it seems like they are not taking this seriously.the other reports i just read do not mention car cutting out on them or airbag and engine lights on.

About the same time my recall notice was sent the leather on the dash lifted that was attached to the cap holding the air bag. I could not get it to slip back so now i have an opening on the dash in front of the air bag. I did take it to ford the said it was not going to open up all the way unless i had an accident. I am still waiting for a recall for the airbag to be fixed but i feel that this was not a coincident that the leather lifted.i am worried that the air bag will deploy and someone in the front driver side will be hurt.i know the car is an older model but i keep this car in perfect condition.

Received recall on airbags 6 months ago and as of 1/3/2017 has not been taken care of. Ford dealership says they have not received the parts yet.also the brakes go soft when braking and have not received any recall about this problem. 2 very dangerous problems that need to be taken care of.

Takata recallthe dash where my passenger side airbag is, is starting to come apart. I have not heard from ford in over a year about this recall. I am not sure what would happen of someone pushed hard in that spot of my dash. To me it is a huge safety issue and should have already been fixed. Or they should at least stay in contact with people about this problem. I am very dissatisfied with ford on this recall.
I have tried repeatedly to obtain recall repair with various ford dealerships to no avail. I have no choice but to drive my vehicle at risk. I do not have access to use a different vehicle.
My vehicle has had an airbag recall for the front passenger (takata brand) airbag. I've received many notices for this issue since i've purchased the car (august, 2014). After calling ford multiple times, i've been told that the products have not arrived to replace the possibly damaged parts.my car has been in one accident in the past three years (roughly fall/winter of 2016). The airbags did not deploy, which is worrisome because at this point i'm unsure if it's because it wasn't necessary or because they are malfunctioning. Please advise and let me know how i can further evaluate and solve this issue. Thanks!
Takata recallwest herr ford rochester ny does not have air bags in stock and have no date for future for air bags to replace defective one.
No issues directly, i have received multiple letter from ford about the recall and they advise to do nothing. They will contact at a later time to come into to a dealer for airbags to be fixed. This has been going on at least a year maybe longer. If this is such an urgent issue, why are they not trying to fix the problem. I have not been in any accidents however; my daughter often is in the front passenger seat. If this is a recall and should be fixed, why is ford not having me come in urgently to get the airbag repaired.

I noticed the dash board around the airbag is separating about 2 months ago i tried to push the seam back down but it still puckers. Yesterday i tried to start my car and there was a continuous clicking sound coming from the dashboard and the security lock light and airbag light were flashing very fast. I just parked the car about 1 hour before and there was no problems until i came back to start it. I tried for about 1 hour but could not get it started. I have noticed there are a lot of complaints on this car and the same issues. This does seem like a recall issue. I wanted to support american made products from one of the oldest american auto makers. I am hoping you can fix this issue because i need to get the work and this is my only transportation. I live in an area where there is no public transportation. Thanking you in advance.

The dashboard in my vehicle is defective and needs to be replaced.it is warped and impacts the function of the airbag.the warped dashboard bulges in front of the airbag compartment and prevents the airbag from sitting flush in the compartment. It is obvious that if the airbag deploys, it will not deploy properly.we have discussed this with the ford dealer and have been told it is not fords responsibility to replace the dash.we recently had the airbag replaced due to a recall and the problem worsened but the ford dealer again refused to replace the dashboard. We've included three pictures to demonstrate the extent of the problem. Since the dashboard is defect and affects that safety of the vehicle, the manufacturer should replace the dashboard at no cost to us.

Takata recall. There has been a recall on the passenger side airbag on my ford fusion for over a year. The parts to replace the airbag are still not available. I feel unsafe driving my car, as there's risk of shrapnel impaling me and the other passengers in my car. The local ford dealership stated they legally cannot disconnect the passenger side airbag in my car. I fear for my safety driving my own car. It should not take this long to have my car fixed.

Takata recall-i was sent a notice in march 2017, a second in october 2017 and still the ford dealers in my area does not have the part to replace the airbag.i am apprehensive to have anyone sit in my front seat of my car.when will the part be availabl? this is very frustrating
Takata recall ... Received notice in july 2016 and still have not been notified for appointment to get repaired, i did call dealership where i purchased car a few months back and they claim that parts were not yet available. This is unacceptable!!this is a safety issue for all who occupy my vehicle as well as the million others who occupy these recalled vehicles in the event of a airbag deployment who is responsible for an injury or death. Why or what is the hold up... The car owners have a right to know, stand behind your company, maybe i should let mr. Trump know about this lol
Was not notified of any recalls on this vehicle when i purchased it. I had an accident last month and the brakes locked up and i couldn't control the steering and went careening off the roadway into a stationary sign and tow up the passenger side of my vehicle. The passenger air bag never deployed. Nor the driver air bag.
When i got in my car this morning i noticed the dash is bulging around passenger air bag.the car was parked in my driveway.
Like many other people the dash area holding in my airbag of my fusion started bulging a few months ago. At first i thought it was the trim but the whole area is bulging more each day. I am afraid to have anyone sit in the passenger seat for fear of the airbag deploying randomly. Have been advised that the only fix is to replace the dash. Since i see that countless other owners have experienced the same problem it would seem like ford would fix this.....especially since it involves the airbag which is after all a big safety issue.

Takata recall - there is no remedy for this issue at this time and i would like this issue resolved. I have been waiting for 2 years formy car to get fixed. That is too long. Using a rental car in lieu of fixing my car does not work for me.i fear for my life and for the life of any passengers in the car. Ford should replace my car with a similar vehicle that doesn't have this problem. To date the airbags have not been used nor have they failed.
Dashboard around the airbag and defrosting agent is bulging and coming apart. I feel that this would be a malfunction if the airbag were to be deployed causing serious injury or death.
I have had to replace the transmission, the head gasket, drive shaft and carrier barrings. When i had the vehicle fixed i was told i need a new gas tank as well. My passenger side airbag compartment is rising up from the dash and i am concerned it will deploy even without an accident to initiate the deploy. Called ford motor company and they were not willing to help in any way. I purchased the car in 2013 and have had problems from the start with no help from ford. Thank you.

Re:nhtsa recall number16v384; manufacturer recall number16s26in two more days, i will have been waiting for two years for the defective airbag inflators in my 2008 ford fusion to be replaced. The vehicle spent its first 7.5 years in the hot and humid hell that is central texas, which should make this vehicle a priority for replacement of its defective airbag inflators. Ford takes the easy way out and points the finger at takata, leaving drivers and passengers risking their lives.can you please prod ford to find another supplier of inflators and get busy replacing the fedective inflators in vehicles from hot & humid areas?

Takata inflatorsmy car has not been safe no one can sit in the passenger seat i'm making payments for two years over 5000 to be driving unsafe vehicle neither takata or ford give me a resolution to this matter the passenger airbag is lifting up the sensor is sometimes on and off on the dash board
Dashboard peeling back in front of passenger side airbag.very common issue for 2006-2009 fusions which ford refuses to acknowledge as a safety issue or offer repair without significant cost to owner.dashboard peels back and bubbles in front of where passenger airbag deploys and may cause interference with airbag operation.this is not an isolated incident or result of improper care by owners, the problem is too widespread.this should be a recalled item or fix.
I did not get any recall information for the car had no idea my airbags was on recall i need them fixed hoping it's not too late. I have noticed my airbag on my passenger side is starting to come out. Hope this matter can be taking care of before something happens.

We have had some colder than usual days and when i start my car, the air bag light stays on. Once i get to my destination and shut the engine off and restart it, the light goes off.
Takata recalli received the first notice in june 2016. It's 2018 and nothing has been done to remedy my car. I just received a new notice telling me not to allow anyone in my front passenger seat. I'm pregnant and have a 2 year old. This is me and my husband's only mode of transportation. Ford has the parts, they just don't want to pay upfront. They need to give us a lender vehicle or allow us to get the repair immediately. I would even pay for the repair upfront if i knew i'd be reimbursed. They can't just tell 2 years after the first notice, 'hey don't drive your car' to try to get rid of any liability. It's ridiculous. They've been putting my family in serious danger for years and it is despicable and should be illegal.
Takata recalli called ford to schedule an appointment to replace the recalled air bags over a year and a halfago. I have called since thenand still no one has gotten back to me to replace the "death trap" airbag. Does someone in my family have to die in order to have the airbag replaced?

The dashboard had begun to slightly bulge and has now peeled away from the passenger side air bag. After researching online, this appears to be a very widespread issue, of which ford has no remedy in place for except replacing the entire dash. For a car with relatively low miles over the course of ownership, this seems like an issue that should be corrected. I have no way of knowing how it may affect deployment of the air bag, and i'm not sure i want to find out.

Dash is bulging around passenger air bag; my car is always parked under our 3 sided enclosed car port year round. This just puffed up one morning when i was getting in car - noticed. Noprevious indicator. Its big now and i worry air bag will "come loose" my car not on recall list but it should be... This is dangerous. Suppose a passenger leans forward and grabs it.. Not good situation... And dealer / ford should stand by a warranty of some sort. This comes up out of the blue.. I've not been in accident... Car has extremely low mileage...

I am the original purchaser of a 2008 for fusion. The dashboard around the passenger side airbag has been peeling up and presenting possible airbag malfunction risks/aesthetics problem for around a year now. I have taken it to the dealership i purchased it at and been told it is not covered under the extended warranty i have, no action was taken to repair the defect.
Takata recall in june 2016 i received a recall notice from ford (16s26) on a takata passenger. As of oct 2017 there has been no solution provided. Last week i got a notice saying that takata is ending all claims on dec 27 when i called takata and ford, neither company could tell me what to do other than to wait for a pending solution. So if the airbag goes off and causes an injury after dec 27th i have no recourse. Since the terms of the document they gave me indicate that i can submit a claim for future incidences i tried going to the website to do so but the link to fill out the claim for is not working.
The dashboard is bulging it doesn't look good and it doesn't feel safe. I wonder if it would activate correctly at an impact during an accident or if it would activate while riding down the road. It started on the right side passenger and it has slowly moved to the left side driver. This started happening over 2 years ago and it's slowly become worse. Ford needs to be held accountable for the fix this is cosmetic but it also is functional with the airbag right behind it where it started.

Illegal, unethical, immoral decisions made by ford in waiting eight years to notify me about driving a dangerous unsafe car for many years. If there are laws to follow in notifying you or the consumer when a manufacturer discovers a serious and dangerous defect in a product they offer, then they most have been violated in my case and hundreds of millions of consumers cases. For eight or nine years i have owned and my wife has driven the vehicle listed. I would like you to determine when did ford know about their cars having dangerous air bags.takata has been in the news for years. Which people knew. Did these people follow your laws concerning notifying nhtsa,consumers and other government offices?i received safety recall notice 16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384 in july of 2016 after driving this car for eight or nine years.if you find the true answers to my questions then it is difficult to believe that no violations occurred.the actions taken by ford over the past eight years must violate nhtsa codes, consumer rights, product safety codes and many other codes. When national ford employees can not give approximate date to get unsafe car repaired to the nearest month and they do not return call as promised, then if no codes are violated then surely that is an example of unethical or immoral decisions made over the past nine years. So again i ask. When did ford know of the problem? who knew? but more importantly what laws were violated?in closing i would like to say that "statistically speaking"i find it very difficult to believe that a car could go eight or nine years with a defective product (especially a takata air bag) and all codes especially related to timely notifications to you and the consumer were met.thank you[xxx]psi have a 2008 ford fusion sitting in the garage for three months for sale if you know any one who would buy a ford?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall:i received a recall notice from ford about a year ago and to warn about passenger side airbag recall and to avoid having passengers sit in the car due to danger of injury or death due to flying parts of airbag in a collision.ford still has not replaced the airbag and the dealer says that ford has not released any parts to replace the airbag.i believe it will be one year in july.can ford be forced to replace these airbags soon?or provide a buy-back option for the car in case they cannot repair it?especially after 1 year?thank you!

"takata recall" the door handle on the care is broken which enables me to get out of the vehicle. Which to me is considered a death trap. I have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside or have someone open it for me. My air bag is also raising out of the passenger side. This scares me. On hot days i fear that it may just explode due to the heat. Which may be a hazard to others and i.
Takata recall. We received a recall notice from ford motor company in july 2016 they still do not have the parts. The letter says the car is dangerous to a passenger. Two year wait for a dangerous issue is terrible! no one will do anything about it.
Ford motor company sent me severalrecallnotices. When i responded to have the recall done by their mobile unit, they complied .i had no issues with my airbag light in the dash prior to the recall being performed. After the air bag recall was performed, the airbag light came on and stated on. I called ford motor company and notified them of the issue. I was told i had to bring vehicle in to be diagnosed for a fee of 129.00 dollars. Again i had no issues with my air bag light prior to the recall being performed.
Passenger side airbag compartment on the dashboardis bulking at any given time the air bag may deploy.
Takata recallthe recall happened in 2016 and there is still no remedy as of 11/20/2017.this is absolutely unacceptable.
Takata recallit's been more than two years since the recall was issued. With a recall for something causing explosions in passenger faces remaining unresolved, this is absolutely not resolved a timely manner! i am not writing about some other incident involving the subject of the recall, but about the recall itself remaining unresolved.do we have any other recourse? not driving a vehicle for above two years is extremely unacceptable, as is a known risk of explosion!

In the summer of 2013 i noticed that the passenger dash was coming undone (separating from the dash and sticking up) in front of the airbag of my 2008 ford fusion. The dash is now curled up so much that i fear that it may interfere with the deployment of the passenger airbag. At the time of this complaint, there are no known statements regarding the foam vinyl separating from the dash. I would like to know if any research has been conducted to ensure that this does not affect the deployment of the passenger airbag.
I received a recall for the airbag and i contact the ford dealear but they say that the parts for airbag is not in and this was last year 2016 and i am still waiting so will be 2017.

A few years back i got into my 2008 ford fusion and i remember it being a very hot summer day. I looked over at my passenger side air bag/dash board area and part of the dash where the seam is, was sticking out. I was able to push it back in right away but now i can't. The dash above where the air bag is just always sticks out now. I figured since it was so hot that day that's why it happened. I still have never been able to get it fixed and it doesn't seem safe to me. I've looked on numerous websites and have read that many other people with the same car and year have had this issue.
Takata recallthere are no replacement parts available. I'm still making payments on the car and a baby rides in it.

The airbag for my vehicle has been recalled for almost an entire year, and the parts to fix it have not yet been made available.this is not being taken care of in a timely manner. The area on the dashboard around the airbag has significant warping, and i have been advised against using the front passenger seat.
The passenger side air bag, the dash that covers it is opening up. For a car this car that is from 2008 should not be happening . For the dash to becoming up like that to where you can see the air bag is really bad. What happens if the air bag goes off and gets suck on the tip of the open dash someone could get really hurt or even die. I did take it to the ford company and they said that i would have to pay close to 1,000 dollars to get it fix and that it would not count as a recall. I have not got it fix and i am hoping that it does not get worse as time goes on.

Takata recall the recall has been open since jun 1, 2016. There is still no remedy when i call my dealership. My other car, a honda was also affected, but was timely fixed two years ago. This is too long from ford to provide a remedy.
The dashboard on the passenger side is bulging out where the airbag is. I took it to my local ford dealer and they said airbag is at risk for deploying, because that is what is bulging... It has gotten worseyou can tell airbag is pushing on the dash. We have tried fixing it but its the bulging airbag that is the issue not the dash itself.i have researched online and have found that other peole are also having the same problem with their airbag.please recall, before someone gets hurt.

Takata recall-- my local ford dealer, heiser ford, has indicated they do not have the available parts to perform this recall, and don't know when they will.this is outrageous and i fear dangerous to my continued reliance on the airbags.how can i get this recall corrected?
The dashboard above the passenger air bag has buckeled and will not return to the original position. You can see the foam inside. I called the local dealer and was told it was not a safety issue and it has not been fixed. I had thought due to the hot weather it had buckeled and it was a rare case but as i am reading this is a common issue for ford with the 08 fusion. Hoping with more complaints this will be fixed.
Passenger side dash, leather is lifting away from dash, right under the air bag cover. Dealer said i have to replace complete dash for 1500.00i did not repair.

I was driving home from work on rt. 511or lorain street in oberlin, ohio. The light on lorain and s. Pleasant was flashing. I had the yellow flashing light i was driving 35 the speed limit and a girl with her two children did not stop for her red light and i hit her t-bone. My airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock.this forced me to grip the steering wheel with my hands and as i did this i bruised my arms, chest from the steering wheel trauma. I raised up from the seat and hit the top of my knees and they are bruised. I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital for treatment and release. I missed 3 days of work and still have pain in my muscles and trauma to my body.i have contacted ford motor co. For their response.i feel i should be compensated due to my injuries and missing work.and if i had been driving on a highway and this happened i could have been hurt worse or thrown through the windshield.there was extensive damage to my car and i have a rental for over two weeks i have to drive.i would like someone to check into ford motor co. I will seek legal counsel if this is not resolved.

It's now been 8 months that we have been driving a ticking time bomb and still no call on fixing this deadly issue !!i i just called my dealer again and have been told still no parts !!! they said they can't help me !!! i can not afford to trade this time bomb and my wife and i do not want to be killed if we bump into something that will set it off. What can be done to make ford fix the time bomb they have gotten us into before we get killed. I can not afford an attorney but need your help on what to do so we don't die in this car. Please help.thank you.
Takata recall notice was sent by ford in july 2016. I have taken the car in several times but dealer says parts are not available. I am very concerned about the safety and also can not sell the car with a known defect.i suspect ford is trying to avoid there responsibility because the car is old.
Received a recall notice over 15 months ago and the actual dashboard where the air bag is housed is separating from the rest of the dashboard. Haven;t had any contact from the manufacturer and the recall is still open.
Takata recall - none of the ford dealers that i've contacted have any solutions to this problem... They say their parts department can not order replacement air bags for my car :-(the dashboard on the passenger side of my car is warping! i guess ford is okay with the fact that hundreds if not thousands of people are driving around ford cars & trucks with takata airbags that could send glass shards in to the passenger cabin on impact! totally unacceptable and extremely disappointing.... I've received so many notices from ford but never any solutions!

"takata recall". Safety recall notice 16s26 / nhtsa recall 16v-38. I received a recall notice about the takata recall from ford motor co. More than a year ago (july 2016). I have never heard from ford since and have questioned my local dealer several times and have been told they have not received the parts. The notice stated that the issue was with the passenger side airbag, so i am concerned about letting anyone ride in that seat. I believe that having to wait more than a year with no response or to have this resolved is unreasonable and a real safety issue for me and my family.
Takata recalli have called two dealerships and they say parts are not available. I got my recall notice july 2016. When can i expect a replacement airbag? my wife is getting tired of riding in the back seat.

"takata recall" i received a recall letter approximately 15 months ago. Went to ford dealership and was told they don't have any airbags for my vehicle. Didn't know when the would get them. Called ford motor customer service. All i got from them was an apology and you'll have to wait. I would like to get this hazard air bag problem resolved asap.
Dash around passenger air bag bubbling and popping out.
My car has not been repaired.i keep getting the same excuse, "the parts are not in"!!1 no matter which ford dealership that i conctact they all say that the parts have not been distrubuted for the repairs.this has been since january 2016 (almost 3 yrs)... This is a serious safety issue and i need it fixed asap.... The passenger frontal airbag inflator could explode if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy.safety risk:the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy...please contact me for repairs
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).takata recall i was given notice by ford with a recall notice dated july 2016.tk holdings sent me notice to schedule a replacement in the mail 11-2-2017. I went to yreka, ca.ford dealership and they will not do it till ford says to do it.ford is dragging their feet in my opinion, hoping these older model years will hit the junk yards before they have to replace them. The local dealership says it will bein excess of $1500. To do the job.is it time to file a lawsuit.[xxx] *dl
Multiple times a week i drive passengers in a potentially unsafe car due to a recalled airbag.i have called a dealership, but was informed the part was not available for over a year and a half.it is irresponsible of ford to not have this part available.i bought a car which i thought to be safe and the company clearly is not concerned about the welfare of their car owners due to the lack of concern about replacing the part.
Takada recall my vehicle was recalled in 2016 called a ford dealer and they didn't have the parts then i called again and they still don't have the parts i'm very uncomfortable driving the car
After driving in rain, to work, where the anti-lock brakes were activated, the brake pedal went to the floor, on my way home, as i was turning into my neighborhood.i believe this is a recall issue #19s54.ford wants to charge me $95-$115 for diognostics, and will not provide a loaner vehicle while they order parts (2 to 3 days).i do not feel safe driving the vehicle, and will need to have it towed to the dealership.this recall has been un effect since 2019, yet they have no remedy as of now.there is also a second recall for airbags.(i already had the first airbag recall fixed.)they want me to drive a vehicke with faulty breaks and an airbag that may explode, and kill me upon impact.my case number is cas31223959, but they offer no solution to this problem, which they caused in the first place.

The air bag compartment on the passenger side has come away from the seam and is bubbeling.now their is a powder substance that's brown that is coming out of their as if the balloon is drying up. Alamogordo is a hot area where temps range from 90-100 degrees. The car has not been in an accident and nothing has hit the dashboard to cause it to bubble or the seems come attached.it just started gradually happening. I am aftraid that if i get in an accident the air bag will not deploy, or that it will deploy for no reason, as it seems very unstable.i have seen other fusions with the same issue.i have attached picture from different angles for you to see
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.

Takata recallcurrently my dash is starting to warp, it looks as if its going to explode on its own. I have had it looked at a few times and was warned not to drive the car both times. I use this car to commute to work and drop my little brother off at school. I do not let people sit in my front seat in fear of harming them. My airbag light has been on causing me to be ineligible for inspections such as emissions, in order to receive actual plates on my car. My registration is currently suspended until i can provide proof that my car is eligible to pass, concluding why i need this airbag now. It's been two years since i was first notified and i've waited far to long thinking that ford or takata would be doing anything to help me.
Takata recall - i was notified in june 2016 that the airbag had a potentially deadly defect.to date, i have not been contacted concerning correction of the defect.i have called the dealer only to be informed that the part has not been made available to them and they have no idea when corrective action will be taken.this is unacceptable given the nature of the defect and i believe i have been more than patient waiting for corrective action.

In the summer of 2013 i noticed that the passenger dash was coming undone (separating from the dash and sticking up) in front of the airbag of my 2008 ford fusion.the dash is now curled up so much that i fear that it may interfere with the deployment of the passenger airbag.at the time of this complaint, there are no known statements regarding the foam vinyl separating from the dash.i would like to know if any research has been conducted to ensure that this does not affect the deployment of the passenger airbag.
Takata recalli received a notice regarding my takata airbag recall recently and since have been contacting the ford dealership that i purchased my car from to get it fixed.unfortunately, i keep getting told that they don't have the part and have no idea when it will be in.my husband was even told that the car is still completely safe.this is unacceptable service and i am still driving around with unsafe air bags because of their inability to fix the recall.

Takata recall - i received the safety recall notice in march 2017.it stated that ford would contact me when the parts are available.i received the notice from tk holdings, inc. About the class action lawsuit vs. Takata.it states that the deadline for filing claims against takata is 12/27/17.i called towne ford dealership in orchard park, ny to schedule the replacement.they stated that they do not have the parts yet.my concern is that this is a stall tactic by both takata and ford to delay past the 12/27/17 date and absolve them of any exposure.i should not have to pay for legal counsel on this matter.any advise would be welcome/

Takata recall - while we did receive a recall notice in july 2016, ford has still not made parts available to our dealer or contacted us regarding other ways to remedy this dangerous situation.several telephone calls to our local ford dealer as well as one directly to ford in june 2017 have gotten us nowhere.
The dashboard right by the passenger airbag is warping.the ford dealer wants $1000 to replace it on a car that is 6 years old when it should not be warping already.i believe this is a safety concern to airbag potentially not deploying correctly.
September 8 we had a car accident and our car was totaled the air bags none of them ever went off, even the police and paramedic were concerned, and being a nurse i am very concerned, we were getting off bypass and another car hit us. We were rear ended
Takata recall. The recall has not been addressed for over a year and a half. The dash board is separating from around the air bag. I am concerned of the safety for anyone riding in my car.this is my 3rd time issuing this complaint...
Takata recall, ch.11 case #17-11375 - foam is visible from the airbag section of the passenger side dashboard. Vehicle was stationary.
Takata recall (nhtsa recall number16v384).i was notified by ford that my car, a 2008 ford fusion, was subject to a recall and that ford would notify me to have the airbag problem fixed as soon as parts became available.that was some time ago (i'm guessing 2 years ago). I have yet to be notified that the parts are available for fix the problem. When i contacted ford about the issue, they replied that they are working to get the parts and appreciate my patience.it seems that 2 years is a quite lengthy time for procuring the needed parts. My complaint is best stated as a question: is ford dragging its feet regarding this airbag recall in hopes that i will sell the car before the parts ever become available?
2008 fusion - vehicle identification number (vin): [xxx]i am instructed by the first letter by ford in july 2016 and the postcard by tk holdings that the repair and replacement is free of charge and carried out by my dealer and i should approach my dealer, and i have approached my dealer several times throughout 2016 and 2017 but my dealer has not replaced and repaired the airbag because they/ford says no parts are available so far. I received a letter on july 2016, from ford motor company, po box 1904, dearborn, michigan 48121 and the letter states and readsimportant safety recall- safety recall notice 16s26 / nhtsa recall 16v-384 on your vehiclethe passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture. I have seen so often my dealer here in carlisle family ford but they always tell me that ford does not have spare parts to repair the faulty airbag. We have now november 2017 and i got a postcardthat tk holdings inc has files chapter 11. They are responsible for the faulty airbag. I showed my dealer family ford in carlisle the postcard and my dealer is telling me that they are aware of tk holdings inc and that tk holdings inc has filed chapter 11 bankruptcy , but no parts are available at this time to replace and repair my faulty airbag. My dealer is also telling me that i have to keep waiting and when sometime in the near future the parts are available they/ford will send me another letter. So far ford is not replacing and repairing the faulty airbag. I just wonder when they/ford will replace and repair the faulty airbag in my car. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The front dash airbag on the passenger side is bulging - the glue is not holding the cover over the airbag in its place.the dash is bulging here.very ugly and i fear more damage or deployment of airbag.

Takata recallreceived notification of recall of passenger airbag in march 2017. Recall states a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. Given this information, i've received no further information on how this can be fixed and its been over a year. I don't understand how this is allowed knowing the risks. Please tell me what the plan for getting this recall fixed asap. Thankfully, i haven't had anything happen yet, but who knows if i would live to file a complaint about it...
The parts will not be in until dec 2017-- and i cannot get my vehicle fixed until the parts are in .
Takata recall 16s26. I was first notified about this air bag recall in july, 2016. Now it is march, 2017 and still no solution has been found. This is taking entirely to long for the seriousness of the recall. It is very important that the air bags work correctly.
Over 2 years and nothing. I don't ford think has any intentions of fixing these. Manycompanies would jump at the chance to fill this order. This government should be ashamed of its support for the american people!
Takata recall: the takata recall for the passanger side airbag in my 2008 ford fusion has been out for about a year now and there still aren't any replacement parts yet. When will the replacement parts come in?
My air bags are turned off and so far no dealer said they can fix the air bags after all these years. My passenger seat belt would not buckle and ford refused to fix it unless i paid a 300.00 price. I took it to bell tire and they put a new one in for much less.i don't feel i should have paid anything because it was a safety issue.i also had to put 5 batteries in my car because the would be totally dead. The last one even though it was under warranty i had to pay for. Year 2017. I told them to dc my automatic starter because they thought for several yrs. It might be that and it was. In the mean time i paid for an altanater i did not need. Paid out a lot of moneyto the dealer that was not necessary. I have all the bills for all the years.all started in 2010with the battery which i bought when the car was still under lease.i bought the car and to date the miles are just going to 36,000

I have seen many complaints about the dash popping up around the passenger airbag. I have been having the same problem. What i want to know is why nothing is being done about it?my car is a 2008 i've had it for 8 months and about a month ago this starting happening.this is a manufacturers defect not wear & tear.
I had noticed a few weeks ago my passenger air bag cover is starting to separate from it's adhesive. This is a major safety issue for me and any passenger that sit in the front seat. This has got worse over time and i purchased the vehicle roughly a little under a year ago. At that time the car was not in that condition. No one sits with their feet on the dash and i have a visor. I could be hit at a slow speed which would not warrant my bags to deploy but could, and this would cause my other front air bag to deploy as well. There are tons of complaints about the air bags not being deployed when it should. There are a few complaints about it separating. The manufacture should step in. Car is barely 5 years old with me being the 3rd owner. Issue should not be happening.
I found my wifes ford fusion under recall and after many attempts to have the airbags replaced i have been told there are no airbags available for the recall at this time. Her airbag light has stayed on after starting her car at least 4 times this year, i have found no way to safely disconnect or turn off the airbags until new airbags are available, i worry every time she drives her car or has passengers with her, especially her elderly handicapped mother or when we have our 5 month old granddaughter with us, what if the airbags go off for no reason? who pays? what if there are deaths, not just in our car, but what if the bags cause us to hit another car head on, then what? we are terrified of these airbags and need help!

Reference nhtsa recall number 19v904 - this recall was issued in december 2019: "on your vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock braking system may be stuck open....this may result in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop...ford is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, ford will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020."at the time of this message it has been 16 months since this recall was issued and it is now quarter 2 of 2021 and parts to fix this problem are still not available. This is especially concerning, considering that another recall was issued last month, march 2021 (nhtsa recall number 21v158: the driver airbag inflator in your vehicle may explode in the event of a crash that causes deployment of the driver airbag. If an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death.). The combination of these recalls is genuinely concerning and neither one is able to be remedied by ford at this time. Given these life-threatening safety recalls, i do not feel safe driving the vehicle. But i can't in good faith sell or donate the vehicle under this condition as it would be egregious.

Takata recall there is no remedy for this issue at this time and i would like a resolve to this issue
Takata recall:in july 2016 (2016) i was notified about the front passenger seat airbag recall by ford motor company.i have telephoned my local dealer a couple times since without "luck" that i can get the repair.i've contacted ford motor through their chat line and been told the same thing the letter said, "you'll be notified".i year (almost) later i still live in fear when someone has to ride in my front passenger seat!this is totally ridiculous and shouldn't happen in the good old usa.i have a friend with an accord (honda) who got her car fixed within about 4 months (same problem) and another who has an infiniti who got their car fixed (same problem) in about 6 months.pretty much says, "don't buy american" in my estimation!after 1 year, i think ford should start compensating people they have not been able to service because not only is this inconvenient it is dangerous.news reports say the situation is especially bad for hot / humid climates...well, that's just where i live!

I am the original buyer of a 2008 ford fusion se - which i purchased in 2008 - it now appears that there is a bulging near the passenger air bag area on my car's dashboard.this appears to be a manufacturing defect since the car has never been in any type of accident.ford refuses to fix since car is no longer under warranty.i looked on line at it appears many other ford fusion owners are experiencing the same issue with the bulging dashboard.i am afraid this could lead to a deployment of the airbag.ford will have dashboard fixed for over $1,200.00 at my cost.how is this fair that i must pay for a manufacturing issue the ford corporation created. Can you assist in any manner.

Have requested appointment for repair to dealer,payne ford of weslaco, repeatedly since 2016 recall notification. Latest on 24 october 2017. Asked to be placed on waiting list. Have been told that parts are unavailable.
Takata recallit has been 2 yrs since the recall and still have not had the issue fixed, when i check says not remedy yet and receive a letter saying to not let any one ride in front in passenger side. Really what is the point of having a 5 passenger car and no one can sit in front. Ford needs to make things right or should disconnect the air bags till the problem can be fixed.
There is a bulge along the trim near the frontpassenger side air bag panel. The trim of the dashboard has become separated from the air bag panel exposing a gap. This would definitely be a safety issue if the airbag would/should deploy. Dealership says there is nothing they can do because it isn't covered under warranty.
Takata recalli received a recall notice more than a year ago but have yet to receive an official notice that the parts are available and an appointment can be made. I continually call the ford dealerships in my area and i'm continually told it's a "preliminary recall" and the parts aren't available. If this product is defective and dangerous, i shouldn't be made to driver for more than a year with unsafe components.

Takaya recall
"takata recall" i received a letter from ford back in march 2017, i want to know when this will be fixed? the airbag has expanded.
Takata recall. I received notice of this recall in 2016. Every once in a while i will receive a letter that says it is important, but that no arrangements have been made to replace it. The last letter said sometime this year, 2018, i would be contacted by ford to come in to have it replaced.and now i see there is a class action settlement in the play because ford has not taken the proper action. Very disappointing. I would like to see my car fixed as it should be and not wonder if the airbag will explode when i am in an accident and then ford really needs to answer for the injury that could have been prevented. I should not have to reach out to see this resolved. A company should own up to the defective product and replace them.

Takata recall - my vehicle manufacturer does not have repair parts available by the priority deadline for my car.
I received a recall about a year ago on my airbag. After a year they are still telling me they have not received the parts to fix it and you can now see where it is starting to deflate and i haven't been in an accident. Now my dash is deformed and a part of the airbag is visible. Something needs tobe done about this!! i have contacted ford motor company and they stated that i needed to take it to be looked at and would have to pay upfront but i refuse to pay anything due to it being a recall. They need to fix my airbag and my dash free of charge. When calling the dealership to have them look they pretty much tell me i am crazy and there is nothing they can do and that the airbag would not mess the dash up. Please help!!!!

Takata recall. My airbags have not been replaced yet.
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.
Noticed passenger dash upholstery, in front of passenger air bag was buckled,and popping up.two different ford service managers advised that this was a manufacturing defect and that the air bag might not deploy properly due to the dash protruding.they both took photos and ford refused to address because my vehicle is out of warranty, by years.i only have approx. 34,000 miles.i feel that this is also a safety defect, if my air bag operation might be affected.i was advised that the entire dash needs to be replaced and it is approx a $1,000 repair.
The ford dealer on 1202 malabar road refuses to replace my recalled air bags. They keep telling me that they do not have any air bags. This dealer is in palm bay, florida 32907.

Takata recall - over 1 year since notice arrived - dealer says no parts and no timetable for replacement
Takata recall. I called the dealer to get replacement part but parts are not yet available. Dealer said wait on a letter from ford that parts are available for replacement.
Takata recall: my passenger front seat airbag is faulty and that has been implicated in a number of intermittent, unexplained electrical problems and a constant "parasitic drain" on my battery requiring a replacement alternator and 2 batteries, so far. Also i have been limited in performing duties of my job which requires transportation of others who (for medical needs) need to be in the front seat for observation. Therefore i have suffered a financial loss as well.i drove this vehicle for 5 years, transporting my own children it the front seat before i received a safety recall notice. I was totally unaware of the deadlypotential danger iexposed my children for hours everyday. I am now suffering from guilt, fear and shame for being unable to confidently protect my children from dangers that were well known to ford & takata for many years, but kept secret from the public. I have suffered emotional stress and psychological damage-similar to ptsd - from this situation.
Takata recall- has been in effect since june 2016 and nothing has been done to correct the problem.when we check the status of the recall on line it always states that there is no corrective action to be taken at this time.the passenger side airbag was literally popping out of the dash and we had to take it to the dealer to have it repaired at our own expense since there was no recall correction.
Passenger airbag is about to explodetook it to dealer and they said that needs to be replaced immediately but it will cost me over $1,500.00 to do it. I've read online reviews and i'm seeing a lot of other customers complaining about same thing. Hopefully you guys can do something about it before it gets to late. Desperate consumer.

I was driving our 2008 fusion on winding roads near our home in wnc. I was into a switch back turn and was approached by an oncoming vehicle which was on my side of the double yellow line.i did not have to swerve but allowed plenty of room for the other vehicle to pass. As they passed i was pulled into the snow and ice and off the road. I hit the side of a mountain and came to an instant stop. Our vehicle has sustained many thousands of dollars worth of damage ie front end bumper and sheet metal engine cradlebroken, frame floor roof buckled doors on the right side windshield.

Dashboard has pulled up around passenger airbag. I am just getting around to reporting this, but i see many other complaints on this issue that should be something ford recalls and fix due to a safety hazard. Bulged around airbag as well.
Takata recalli have not been given any remedy in the mail regarding this recall, and have not been able to drive my vehicle for months due to this recall.
Buckling, distortion and or warping of dash panel in front of passenger airbag aperture. There is concern that this distortion will negatively impact airbag deployment causing injury to right front seat occupant. This seems inherent in most of this model. Will also reduce resale valve. I believe this issue is a defect in material or workmanship and should be covered by a safety recall.
Passengers side airbag is bulging and geetting worse.

Reference complaint no. 11006081 and no. 11006075airbag replacement - 2007 mustang and 2008 fusion:i found the following information on a honda website -"the 'alpha' driver-front airbag inflators were the subject of the first takata airbag inflator recalls starting in 2008. In most cases, the previous owners of these affected vehicles did not replace the inflators under those recalls and, thus, the vehicles remain unrepaired. Now, because of the time that has passed, they are even more likely to rupture if the driver's airbag deploys in a crash. In fact, in testing done by takata, alpha inflators removed from vehicles in consistently hot and humid areas showed a rupture rate as high as 50 percent."can i expect the same, higher percentage of kill rate, in the inflators in my 2007 mustang and 2008 fusion as they age, as found by honda?i will pay to have the airbags/inflators replaced - request your office provide the correct part numbers and recommended place to have the work correctly accomplished.i did not receive a response from your office to either referenced complain, any information your office can provide is appreciated.v/r, tom

I have contacted ford about my passenger side air bag bulging out and they acted like they didn't care. This is dangerous. If it would to explode it would bust my windshield and not to mention if i had a passenger in front of it they would get hurt if not killed. How has this not been recalled???? this is a major safety issue and i have seen so many complaints about this issue and nothing has been done. I love my ford fusion but if ford is gonna handle serous issues like this i will stop dealing with ford.

Received 5 notices regarding airbag safety problems (first dated july 2016 second dated december 2017, third dated june 2018 and final one dated august 2018) i called a ford dealer in my area in september 2018 and was informed them of the dmv notice.

We have no other form of transportation. I have been very worried about driving this car but have no other options. Any help would be welcome.thank you

Passenger side airbag is affected by the takata recall.my complaint is that ford has known since june 2016 that the passenger airbag needs to be replaced, but has yet to send notification.i only became aware of the recall by researching on my own.ford has an obligation to notify owners of a recall even if parts are not immediately available.
"takata recall"; recall is over a year old and the remedy is not yet available according to ford and nhtsa. Concerned about safety of the vehicle and would like to know what the reasonable time-frame i can expect to complete this recall. Thank you.
I shouldn't have to wait over a year for my takatarecalled airbags deflator thing to be replaced.
Takata recall: it has been almost a year since i received a recall notice on my 2008 ford, fusion. If this defect can cause serious injury and or death i can't believe that this has not been addressed quicker. I am still waiting for a notice when to bring in my vehicle.
Takata recallnotified of recall for airbag 6/1/16, as of 6/5/17 still not fixed. "remedy not available".when will this be fixed???
Takata recallthere is no damage to my car or airbag deployment that has happened yet but i was notified of this recall 3 years ago and would like to know why this has not been resolved yet. I do not want to wait until my loved ones or myself is injured from this issue. I would appreciate more urgency on this matter and the fact that i own a car that is defective. I have received several recall notices in the mail and have spoke with the dealership multiple times and no action has been taken yet to this matter, this is absurd.
Drivers side door lock became inoperable. Drivers side door will not lock using the lock switch or the lock button on the key. The only way to let yourself out from the drivers side is to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. The only way to lock the drivers side door is with the actual key itself. This is very inconvenient and dangerous i feel if i were in an accident. Also, my 2008 fusions air bag on the passenger side dash is starting to lift away. Anything to due with my family's safety is a big deal! these things are dangerous and need to be recalled and fixed!

Air bag readiness light on the instrument panel started coming on and going off. After a week it started staying on after starting up the car and it does not go off. Next the seat belt light stays on after you have locked in your seatbelt on the drivers side and no one is in the passenger seat.

Takata recallford issued a recall notice (17s01 / nhtsa recall 17v-024) for the passenger airbag inflator in 2008 ford fusions. The notice indicates that ford will send a second letter when parts become available. The recall date was jan 10, 2017. It's nov 5, 2017 and according to ford customer service, they don't even have a timeline for when the parts will become available. It has been almost 11 months; an unacceptable delay to get a potentially deadly part out of people's vehicles. Additionally, the takata bankruptcy notice directs us to get our defective inflators replaced immediately. The resolution i expect from this complaint is for ford to get their act together and get this done now. Perhaps you can apply the necessary pressure to motivate them.

We purchased our ford fusion 2008 through a private sale in may of 2016. Thevehicle is listed as part of the takata passenger frontal airbag inflater recall since june 1 of 2016.we have not received a letter regarding the airbag recall. I found the information online after purchasing the vehicle and hearing reports of a massive recall in the news. Around june 25, 2016 on a particularly hot and humid day, the airbag compartment expanded and created a bump in the dashboard.a gel leaked out of the airbag compartment, into the glove box and on the dashboard.not only do we have a defective inflator, but we also have an airbag that was somehow activated by heat and humidity.i highly suspect this airbag will not deploy correctly if the car is ever in an accident.i contacted three dealers (two in our area and the dealer that sold the car to it's first owner.the first two dealers said there's nothing they could do as the replacement airbags are not available. One dealer said they could replace the airbag if we pay over $600. They also assured me that the bulging dashboard and oozing gel had nothing to do with the recall, but i was welcome to work with takata after paying for the airbag to try to get a refund.ford motor company was also not helpful saying this is a production issue with takata, and takata doesn't have capacity to produce the needed airbags more quickly.we can't afford to park the car to rust, and we can't afford to sell a car that has a safety defect. How long is too long to expect takata to produce the needed airbags? what happens if there is an accident with significant injury while waiting for this faulty airbag to be replaced?
My vehicle was in motion every time the problem occurs. I lose all braking ability for approximately two to no more than five second periods. This has occurred on six total occasions on different days and months.i have replaced my vehicles master cylinder six months ago. I don't feel safe driving my own car. I have witnesses that can confirm this information. The problem has occurred on highways, public roads, also in private drives.

2008 ford fusion side air bag did not deploy duringa car crash.consumer states that her car was hit on the driver's door. *nj
I have replaced the broken bolt on the idler pulley for the second time in 6 months. This is an annoying issue with this engine. Fortunately it happened on statrt up so we were in the driveway. Had it happened on the highway, the loss of power steering could have easily resulted in a fatal crash. The bolt is poorly designed and needs to be larger and or harder. If this is not fixed someone will eventually be killed. How many deaths does it take to warrant attention by ford???
My car wouldn't accelerate, then my check engine light comes on. Within 20 my car completely shuts off. Had to tow it to a mechanic, to tell me the computer system in my is burning up the coils in my engine. I called the dealership to see if there was a recall on this, and there was not. In fact as i look on the internet i have similar stories about the exact same problem. I told the dealership that and there was nothing they could do. Also on this site i reading how some of them the dashboard curls up, mine is also doing that. I bought this car brand new, just paid it off and this happens. I even finance through ford, you think they would try to help.
Customer was traveling on roadway when he noticed smoke.pulled over and opened hood to have smoke billow out.inspection of vehicle by independent appraiser shows there is a defectiveground strap that caused loss.this appraiser has seen 2 of these losses in the past week with same ignition source.ford motor co customer service would not provide any assistance in reporting this problem so that this can be avoided for other people.
Brakes are spongy and intermittently do workat all ..have replaced calipers twice and bled the lines only to have the same problem.air bag on passengers side is coming apart in dash. Drivers side door handle snapped and the doors lock themselves even with key in ignition running.looking online i see that many have had the same issues.
When attempting to brake weather on highway/gravel/city streets or bumps this vehicles brakes are not working properly. They are very soft to push as if there was air in lines,you always have the brake peddel to the floor to stop and pray that you do stop.i have spent $$$ trying to fix this problem... One day im not goingto stop in time my kids or myself and anyone kr anuthing involved is going to be hurt. This problem is worse if the road is wet but it is still a constant problem on an every day basis. I have had workers from ford and other shopes tell me i needto get it fixed, as i have tried and spent $400+ and still wont fix it. I have been doing research and seemslike it is the abs module from other complaints.
My air bags are turned off and so far no dealer said they can fix the air bags after all these years. My passenger seat belt would not buckle and ford refused to fix it unless i paid a 300.00 price. I took it to bell tire and they put a new one in for much less.i don't feel i should have paid anything because it was a safety issue.i also had to put 5 batteries in my car because the would be totally dead. The last one even though it was under warranty i had to pay for. Year 2017. I told them to dc my automatic starter because they thought for several yrs. It might be that and it was. In the mean time i paid for an altanater i did not need. Paid out a lot of moneyto the dealer that was not necessary. I have all the bills for all the years.all started in 2010with the battery which i bought when the car was still under lease.i bought the car and to date the miles are just going to 36,000
Belt idler pulley attachment bolt broke off while negotiating a corner, detaching the pulley from the front of the motor causing sudden loss of power steering assist, alternator charging, and engine cooling.ford fusion equipped with the 2.3l motor.this issue has now happened multiple times, with multiple parts replaced each time in an attempt to fix the underlying issue.a quick search online reveals this to be a very common problem with the ford/mazda 2.3l 4 cylinder.
2008 ford fusion.consumer writes in regards to vehicle ignition key switch failure.the consumer stated after returning to his vehicle, with the keys in his hand, he opened the door, put the key in the ignition to turn it, but nothing happened. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. A diagnosis revealed a failed chip in the key went bad. The key fob had to be replaced and a new key had to be made.
Takata recall: my passenger front seat airbag is faulty and that has been implicated in a number of intermittent, unexplained electrical problems and a constant "parasitic drain" on my battery requiring a replacement alternator and 2 batteries, so far. Also i have been limited in performing duties of my job which requires transportation of others who (for medical needs) need to be in the front seat for observation. Therefore i have suffered a financial loss as well.i drove this vehicle for 5 years, transporting my own children it the front seat before i received a safety recall notice. I was totally unaware of the deadlypotential danger iexposed my children for hours everyday. I am now suffering from guilt, fear and shame for being unable to confidently protect my children from dangers that were well known to ford & takata for many years, but kept secret from the public. I have suffered emotional stress and psychological damage-similar to ptsd - from this situation.
2008 ford fusion.consumer writes in regards to all weather floor mat issues with accelerator pedal recall notice.the consumer stated she did not use rubber floor mats in her vehicle. However, on july 25, 2012 she experienced a frightening sudden acceleration when she shifted from park to reverse and then to drive. She noticed some unusual movement as she shifted into reverse and then to drive, there was definitely unwanted acceleration. She was in a parking lot and managed to get the vehicle stopped and turned it off.the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The floor mats were not in the way of the accelerator when the incident occurred.the dealer replaced the battery, due to low voltage codes and it was explained to her, the battery was the cause of the problem.

Many times after this initial incident, my 2008 ford fusion would again not start upon first full turning of ignition key.then upon second attempt it starts.the first key turning results in crank but no turnover of engine, long crank.this happens at least once a month, sometimes 2-3 times a month.invoice [xxx], dated 3/1/2011 and odometer reading 53088, from fluorescent garage & radiator; 549 st. Ferdinand; fluorescent, mo, describes my attempt to solve puzzling long crank. Their invoice description of work, related to the problem: "hard to start some times long crank, no codes stored, scan data normal.cleaned electric throttle plate.fuel pump marginal on scope.possible ecm update/ flash per/ identifix.". This did not solve the problem.so few days later, had my 2008 ford fusion checked out for problem at dave sinclair auto, ford dealer in st. Peters, missouri, since car was within 100,000 miles warranty, invoice [xxx], odometer reading 53195, dated 3/4/2011.invoice description: "a cranks.wont start.suspects fuel pump.cause: 06 eec test found pats codes, none related to fuel pump.reprogrammed pcm.all tests pass. 97233 cp95.00 parts: 0.00 labor: 95.00 5.70 environmental fee. Total chg 101.13 w sales tax. Technician said they replaced fuel pump and i had to sign statement that they were not liable for further work if fuel pump was replaced.this annoyed me.my dad, [xxx] ,worked at the hazelwood, missouri lincoln-mercury-ford plant for many years.it was difficult to make the problem evident as it occurred randomly.this did not solve problem either.problem continues today, all else ok on car.i am wondering if original key bobs sometimes don't allow the start, just as sometimes they don't open the doors.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After my car was running for about ten minutes all the lights on the instrument cluster came on and stayed on. This was just the beginning, after shutting the car off and starting it back up it began to do the same thing so we took it up to a mechanic to run a computer on it and it did come up for the cluster. Then when we were going to unload it off the trailer my car would completely not crank up because of the cluster. Then once again after being replaced only seven months ago it has started messing up again!! this car has been a complete disappointment so i began to call around and found out there has been many other problems similar to mine other people have reported but still there have been absolutely no recalls for any of the problems occurring on these cars!!!
After i purchase my vehicle about 2 1/2 years ago i contacted my dealer multiple times in the past and i let them know it felt like my car was not accelerating properly and i was told that's just how ford's drive.eventually the dealer ended up having to replace the coil stating that it had been burned out in the llama problem should be fixed. Now back in august it just got completely worse. I was driving and attempted to accelerate at a green light and my car would not proceed, at that point i continued to press on the gas and eventually my car slowly picked up and begin to go now every time i accelerate my car feels as if it is stalling.
The passenger airbag is not good, the electric system when close the doors don't works.
Brake pedal goes to floor when abs kicks in. Brake pedal is now spongy.cd player makes noises like it is trying to change cd's but there are no cd's in it.
I don't have a clue . It's just bust to flame
I noticed the dash board around the airbag is separating about 2 months ago i tried to push the seam back down but it still puckers. Yesterday i tried to start my car and there was a continuous clicking sound coming from the dashboard and the security lock light and airbag light were flashing very fast. I just parked the car about 1 hour before and there was no problems until i came back to start it. I tried for about 1 hour but could not get it started. I have noticed there are a lot of complaints on this car and the same issues. This does seem like a recall issue. I wanted to support american made products from one of the oldest american auto makers. I am hoping you can fix this issue because i need to get the work and this is my only transportation. I live in an area where there is no public transportation. Thanking you in advance.
Traveled from ct to marathon, fl, arriving after noon.within sight of the hotel destination the engine began to break down and run rough.i also smelled smoke.i managed to get to the hotel parking lot before the engine quit altogether.a local shop diagnosed the problem as two cylinder misfires and failed ignition coils.57 mi from the dealer in key west and over 100 mi from miami, i elected to have a local ase certified shop replace the coils.reflashing the pcm showed a new set of codes and that the pcm was failed and needed to be replaced.according to machado ford in miami, there were no pcms in ford's inventory in all of the us.searched for remanufactured pcms was fruitless as well.finally contacted armstrong ford in homestead and they said they could fix the car.$996.56 to the shop in big pine key.transported the car to homestead on fri 2/21.monday the dealer had located a pcm and replacement was completed under warranty tuesday afternoon.i picked up the car on wednesday and left for jacksonville in the afternoon.120 mi north in jupitor, the engine failed again.we sat on the side of the fl turnpike's 70 mph traffic until we could have the car transported to mullinax ford in west palm, arriving after the service dept had closed.the next day i learned that all three catalytic converters were plugged and needed replacement.two converters were available and were replaced on 2/28.the third converter was back ordered with an expected availability of 3/31.since the remaining unit had discharged its contents into the tailpipe and was discarded, i was able to drive back to ct.tasca ford in berlin ct is still waiting for the replacement converter after numerous extensions of delivery dates from ford.the ford customer serv rep refused to return my calls.my total out of pocket expenses exceed $4000 to date.
Car parked at the driveway, started the car, see an engine light and wrench light in the dashboard, tried to accelerate gas pedal, it appears there's no accelerating power. Rpm unstable, engine shaking. Called aaa roadside assistance, aaa technician checked and started the car its the same issue. He recommended to disconnect the positive battery cable to reset computer system. Disconnected wait for 10 seconds and re-start the engine, then everything worked. Took the car to a ford dealer, service advisor believe to be the electronic throttle body problem. Verified in the computer if there's a recall for 2008 ford fusion, however nothing reported at this time.
I was driving down the street and my car would not go pass 20 mph. I hadn't previous had any problems from my vehicle. The car shut off and i got it towed to the dealership. The mechanic told me that i would need a new computer and my current computer was burning out my ignition coils. It turned out to be about ~$1800 worth of work. I was told that this problem is becoming more common and that there should be a recall on the computer and ignition coils soon if it's not already in the works. Of course, the only recall i noticed for this vehicle is the floor mats. This same problem occurred approximately 2 weeks after the car was fixed.

While on a trip to new buffalo, michigan, my 2008 ford fusion began to sputter and limp (as if it were running out of gas).the vehicle continued to shake violently, as i pulled over to the side of the road.i then turned off the car and waited a few minutes. When i turned it on again, the car seemed to have miraculously recovered. As i pulled out onto the highway, however, the engine light started flashing and the car began to whine and sputter. Since it was late on a sunday night and there were no repair shops open, i was forced to park the car at a nearby parking lot and was later picked up by a relative of mine, who drove nearly 200 miles to get me back home. The following day, my insurance company towed the car to a local auto shop where i spoke with a mechanic and service representative.to my dismay, both gentlemen relayed that this was a common occurrence with ford fusions, and that the technician, himself had repaired 8-12 such issues in the last year.he also mentioned that there were several tsbs (technical service bulletins) related to this issue, due to a faulty design in the pcm and injection coils which caused them to short to one another. I asked if there had been a recall or if customers were forced to pay to replace these flawed parts.he kindly explained that recalls are for safety issues,'and that if we wanted the car fixed, we would need to pay for new parts. As the service representative provided me with a quote for the repair cost, a princely sum of $3,010.00, my reaction resembled that of an individual watching a rather terrible horror movie. I could not help but feel aggrieved as a large portion of the cost (nearly $2,200.00) was attributed to the faulty parts that needed to be replaced. Note, a similar complaint was also filed on feb 06, 2012, by an individual in st marys, pa.
On monday september 16, 2013 i began to hear knocking from my engine on my way home from work. When i arrived home, i checked the oil dipstick and it was dry. I put two quarts of oil in it and the knocking persisted. On tuesday i took the vehicle in to a local mechanic to tell me what the knocking was. He checked the dipstick and it was again dry and told me i needed a new engine. I then had the vehicle towed to the ford dealership where i purchased it. They told me the oil drain plug was only held in be three threads and that's why there was no oil in the car, thus causing the engine failure. At no time did any warning lights illuminate on the dashboard.the dealership doesn't want to cover the repair under my extended warranty because they say a "negligent repair" caused the engine failure. However, no one has an explanation as to why no warning lights ever alerted me that there may be a problem.the repair shop that changed the oil last says the oil was drained from the car quickly, and there was not a gradual leak because the "bottom of the vehicle is dry." assuming this was vandalism, no warning lights ever illuminated in the car saying that the oil was low or empty, and the check engine light never illuminated either.i'm still trying to get the engine repair paid for.
Driver door lock jams and gets stuck leaving you locked inside the vehicle. In the event of a need to disembark the vehicle you have to power down the windows and pull the latch from the outside of sedan. I've complained to dealership and even they are surprised that ford has not announced a recall on a common issue that they have witnessed. Many complaint on the internet as well regarding the same issue. Please help get this recalled. Please help before more people are trapped in this vehicle.
The problem initially began because i had to brake hard to avoid an accident on the freeway and the brakes failed. After restarting the vehicle the brakes went back to normal. A week later as i was driving down a street, i braked normally to pull in to a business parking lot and the brakes failed almost completely. The pedal went down to the floor and would not stop the vehicle in a safe distance. Also, they had a spongy feel. They would not properly grip until i turned the car off and then on again. Had there been another vehicle in front of me i would have hit them, or if this happened on a local freeway here in houston, tx it could be potentially fatal. After researching the problem, i learned that many other individuals have had the same exact issue. The problem appears to be a faulty abs modulator.
My ignition coils have melted and fried the pcm. Long story short it was a very dangerous situation where i was in the middle of a highway going 50mph when my car just wouldn't accelerate. It started shaking violently and i thought i was going to lose control. Luckily, i was able to safely make it to the side of the road and have it towed to the local dealership. Unfortunately, ford has yet to take responsibility and recall these defective parts. There are thousands of complaints filed online. This issue costs thousands to fix and should be taken seriously by ford. Even the dealership commented that they thought the ignition coil may have melted before they even looked at it because they know this is a known issue with ford fusions. I'm really disappointed in ford.

This past week my car has been driving rough (sputtering) and seems to notice it more when driving on the highway but there are times while driving on city streets you can notice it (hear it and feel it) too.my tires are good, last year already had the pcm (major control module) replaced ($2,700) along with all the coils and spark plugs, and also pcu replaced and replaced my hcu ($1,500).so what the heck more can go wrong with this car.trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with this car now.
Check engine light on / vehicle lost of power.ford has a technical service bulletin 14-0059 this is the exact same issue with my vehicle.why has is this not a recall?coil # 1 melted and damaged pcm
A burning smell was detected after my 2008 sel awd was driven/hot.my mechanic saw oil all over the exhaust and cleaned it all off and did a dye trace to locate the leak.the leak is the rear head gasket!i never had a well cared for car leak this early.i always got over 200,000 miles on my buicks. The cost to replace a head gasket are in excess of $2100-$2500!and as a note, the mechanic who found the issue does not even do major engine repair on this level so they were not making it up.
I noticed the area where the passenger side airbag is is bulging from the dash.when i went to start the car it would turn over and immediately cut out.airbag icon is lit up on dash as is the engine light.repeated efforts to start and keep going were unsuccessful.since i was on my way to work i kept trying.finally got going and traveling approximately 20 mph and the car just completely shuts down.got started again and proceeded to work and it happened again going about 35 mph.ran fine for a couple of days, back to the same old thing today with the airbag light staying on.i have read of this issue before however i could not find that report today.it is very dangerous to be traveling along and have the car completely shut down on you.ford really needs to take care of this issue.i am contemplating reporting this to a news station because it seems like they are not taking this seriously.the other reports i just read do not mention car cutting out on them or airbag and engine lights on.

I started my car and it sounded & seemed normal.however, after driving less than 2 miles, my engine suddenly decelerated and the rpms dropped dramatically.i tried to accelerate and it would not increase speed.iwas able to get off the road safely.i had to have my car towed.the mechanic determined that the problem was due to a faulty power train control module which impacts the ignition coils and the estimated cost of repair is $2100!one of my ignition coils was melted. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin on this issue, however, they do not deem this a safety issue!cars that just stop running or decelerate quickly is most definitely a safety issue.i can think of many scenarios where this issue would cause injury or perhaps even death.had i been on a freeway or driving at a greater speed where there was more traffic, i could certainly have ended up in an accident with another vehicle.i researched this concern and found that i am not alone and there have many others affected by the same exact situation.ford is of the opinion that this should be the responsibility of the car owner and they do not hold themselves accountable.i understand how warranties work and i realize that cars age.however, this issue has nothing to do with wear and tear or age.this is a faulty piece of equipment that is causing a safety issue when it hampers a vehicle's ability to continue in a forward motion at a normal rate of speed.any help you can provide on this issue would be appreciated.

On december 27th 2019.my daughter slide into the back of another car and she complained the breaks were taking to long to come to a complete stop.the car was totaled and on january 23rd, 2020 we received safety recall notice 19s54/nhtsa recall 19v-904.had we received this notice before 12/27/19we believe repairs would have prevented the accident and the car would not have been sold for parts.
Purchased the car for my daughter's 16th birthday.i believe it only had 20,000 miles on it.she had if for 2 years and has always thought the car ran a little "sluggish".in april, 2013 the car began to decelerate when stepping on the gas, and would not shift properly.brought it to the ford dealer we purchased it from, who told us the transmission was gone and it needed to be replaced. We were even told that these particular cars "were not meant to last" and that "most people traded these cars in after only a couple of years." we also contacted ford motor company who refused to help us out with any portion of the defect. We installed a brand new ford transmission for $1,400 and now, only 3 months later we are having to replace the transmission again for the same problem. Also, within a couple of months after purchasing the vehicle the door handles started to peel and my daughter and her passengers have cut themselves.
Throttle body needs to be replaced. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle lurched, lost power and acceleration. Wrench lit up on dashboard.had to pull off freeway, turn off car. Waited 5 minutes, proceeded with drive. No further incident occurred.took to dealership and was told the repair would exceed in excess of $700.if there is a known issue with an extended warranty, why was that warranty not extended to us?
Engine caught fire.*dt
I have replaced the broken bolt on the idler pulley for the second time in 6 months. This is an annoying issue with this engine. Fortunately it happened on statrt up so we were in the driveway. Had it happened on the highway, the loss of power steering could have easily resulted in a fatal crash. The bolt is poorly designed and needs to be larger and or harder. If this is not fixed someone will eventually be killed. How many deaths does it take to warrant attention by ford???
Engine oil level indicator (dipstick) indicates engine oil level ok even if very low (dipstick tube is also a drain for overhead cam body). Engine low oil shutdown also did not occur. This results in driver operating a vehicle that can have catastrophicengine failure at highway speeds leaving vehicle with no propulsion, power steering, power brakes and unable to navigate to a safe location and may also generate metallic engine debris on roadway posing a hazard to other drivers. A local dealer also indicated a vehicle operating under this condition could burst into flames.
I was driving down the road with cruise control set to 60 mph when the wrench light came on and i had limited power. I then pulled to the side of the road and had to turn the car completely off. Restarted the car and everything was fine so i thought. It keeps happening. One of my friends told me that ford has been having this problem so i looked it up and sure enough there are many that has had this same problem. I am filling this out in hopes to not only get my vehicle fixed but to also save a life! i have a little one that rides everywhere with me. This is a safety issue that needs to be fixed immediately!
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the engine light illuminated while driving and caused the vehicle to jerk. The dealer located a failure code at the electronic throttle body. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in the manufacturer's electronic throttle body warranty replacement program. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
My car wouldn't accelerate, then my check engine light comes on. Within 20 my car completely shuts off. Had to tow it to a mechanic, to tell me the computer system in my is burning up the coils in my engine. I called the dealership to see if there was a recall on this, and there was not. In fact as i look on the internet i have similar stories about the exact same problem. I told the dealership that and there was nothing they could do. Also on this site i reading how some of them the dashboard curls up, mine is also doing that. I bought this car brand new, just paid it off and this happens. I even finance through ford, you think they would try to help.
On monday september 16, 2013 i began to hear knocking from my engine on my way home from work. When i arrived home, i checked the oil dipstick and it was dry. I put two quarts of oil in it and the knocking persisted. On tuesday i took the vehicle in to a local mechanic to tell me what the knocking was. He checked the dipstick and it was again dry and told me i needed a new engine. I then had the vehicle towed to the ford dealership where i purchased it. They told me the oil drain plug was only held in be three threads and that's why there was no oil in the car, thus causing the engine failure. At no time did any warning lights illuminate on the dashboard.the dealership doesn't want to cover the repair under my extended warranty because they say a "negligent repair" caused the engine failure. However, no one has an explanation as to why no warning lights ever alerted me that there may be a problem.the repair shop that changed the oil last says the oil was drained from the car quickly, and there was not a gradual leak because the "bottom of the vehicle is dry." assuming this was vandalism, no warning lights ever illuminated in the car saying that the oil was low or empty, and the check engine light never illuminated either.i'm still trying to get the engine repair paid for.
2008 ford fusion.consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine front cover gasket issues.the dealer informed the consumer, the engine front cover gasket, crank seal, oil pan gasket, value cover gasket and serpentine belt tensioner needed to be replaced right away, or the engine would blow.
While on a trip to new buffalo, michigan, my 2008 ford fusion began to sputter and limp (as if it were running out of gas).the vehicle continued to shake violently, as i pulled over to the side of the road.i then turned off the car and waited a few minutes. When i turned it on again, the car seemed to have miraculously recovered. As i pulled out onto the highway, however, the engine light started flashing and the car began to whine and sputter. Since it was late on a sunday night and there were no repair shops open, i was forced to park the car at a nearby parking lot and was later picked up by a relative of mine, who drove nearly 200 miles to get me back home. The following day, my insurance company towed the car to a local auto shop where i spoke with a mechanic and service representative.to my dismay, both gentlemen relayed that this was a common occurrence with ford fusions, and that the technician, himself had repaired 8-12 such issues in the last year.he also mentioned that there were several tsbs (technical service bulletins) related to this issue, due to a faulty design in the pcm and injection coils which caused them to short to one another. I asked if there had been a recall or if customers were forced to pay to replace these flawed parts.he kindly explained that recalls are for safety issues,'and that if we wanted the car fixed, we would need to pay for new parts. As the service representative provided me with a quote for the repair cost, a princely sum of $3,010.00, my reaction resembled that of an individual watching a rather terrible horror movie. I could not help but feel aggrieved as a large portion of the cost (nearly $2,200.00) was attributed to the faulty parts that needed to be replaced. Note, a similar complaint was also filed on feb 06, 2012, by an individual in st marys, pa.
On 2/17/2014 this vehicle experienced a "limp mode" condition. The vehicle was on a high speed road and was able to be safely removed to back streets.the vehicle would not accelerate beyond 20mph.the vehicle was put into park, shutdown and then the key put into the on position paused and started.problem seems to be resolved.in november the vehicle experienced two situation.1. Limp mode - was unknown at the time so the floor mats were removed2. Acceleration - the vehicle appears to accelerate on its own.not from a stand still by while in motion.
In the driveway and turned the car on. The check engine light and wrench light came on and there was no throttle and the engine took a while to kick on. The scan tool said error code p2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed.
While driving on the highway, the car began to shutter. The car would no longer accelerate and the engine died. At a very slow rate of speed was able to get off the highway on to a ramp. The car was no longer functional and was towed to a local ford dealership. The dealership indicated that the pcm, six ignition coils and spark plugs all needed to be replaced. This appears to be a known problem with ford fusion 2006-2008 and other ford products with 3.0l v6 engine.
I bought a 2008 ford fusion.i have under 100,000 miles and the oil pan came off and blew my motor.i am very disappointed and angry about this situation.i took very good care of the car.got oil changes and checked the oil weekly. There was no oilleaks whatsoever.when i contacted ford i was greeted with rudenessand a don't care attitude.is this how you treat yourcustomers on a daily basis? there was no warning or indication that the motor was gonna blow up.i was driving 50 mph when the car motor blew out.luckily i wasn't hurt or anyone else.please contact me that you received this information.
I was on the on ramp for the highway and accelerated to enter ahead of upcoming tractor trailer. I entered the highway and the engine completely shut down on me.i managed to get into the breakdown lane before being hit by the oncoming tractor trailer.i turned off ignition and waited a few minutes before attempting to start car again.it did start and i drove home.vehicle seemed fine the next few days except for an incident where car was off, no keys in it, but bell kept going off when i opened the door.had two more instances where car stalled when first started in morning, thought it was just cold.five days after first incident it happened again.i started car and it stalled several times.when i stepped on gas it felt odd, like it wasn't getting the gas.i proceeded to put in drive, got a third of a mile from home and the exact same thing occurred.i was driving down the street and the car just completely shut down while i was going approximately 25 mph.would not start for about 15 minutes but once started i was able to get back home.happened two more times and i am terrified i will be badly hurt or hurt someone else by causing an accident.no warning just a complete engine shut down.now after all instances the check engine light has come on.
My ignition coils have melted and fried the pcm. Long story short it was a very dangerous situation where i was in the middle of a highway going 50mph when my car just wouldn't accelerate. It started shaking violently and i thought i was going to lose control. Luckily, i was able to safely make it to the side of the road and have it towed to the local dealership. Unfortunately, ford has yet to take responsibility and recall these defective parts. There are thousands of complaints filed online. This issue costs thousands to fix and should be taken seriously by ford. Even the dealership commented that they thought the ignition coil may have melted before they even looked at it because they know this is a known issue with ford fusions. I'm really disappointed in ford.
My 2008 ford fusion se 2.3l, 5-speed manual, has shut off on the highway with no warning at highway speeds of 65+mph. The engine would suddenly lose power and stall and i would have to coast and attempt to control my car at speed until i could get the engine restarted. I was unable to just turn the key forward to restart the engine and had to turn the key backwards all the way into the "off" position before attempting to restart the engine. The engine would not always restart on the 1st or second attempt. This happened to me twice over a 2 week period at high speeds before suddenly worsening and causing my vehicle to stall and not run in idle or randomly at any speed. I took my vehicle to a ford dealership where they diagnosed it as a faulty throttle body (engine fault codes included p0128, p0607, p2107) but refused to cover any portion of the repair despite the vehicle having only 35,500 miles and numerous complaints about similar safety issues on similar vehicles/components.

Driver door lock jams and gets stuck leaving you locked inside the vehicle. In the event of a need to disembark the vehicle you have to power down the windows and pull the latch from the outside of sedan.

I took my fusion in for the airbag recall. The airbag was replaced and now the dash is slightly raised up and looks like the airbag is going to blow out of it anytime. Now the airbag light in the instrument panel is turning on and off randomly. I took my car back to the dealership who replaced the airbag and they say this is a common issue and has nothing to do with what they did. So now i do not know if my car is safe or not to be driving.

The recall for the abs was sent to notify ford owners in late december 2019. When this notice was sent the paperwork stated that a remedy would be found by "end of first quarter 2020". It is now november 8th, 2020 and there has been no update that there has not been a remedy made available for these owners. If we want to be technical end of first quarter of 2020 is march, we are now approaching 8 months past that official notice. I would like and i am sure other owners would like an update as to when the remedy will be made available. I have had many issues with my breaking system and had to have parts of the automatic breaking system replaced due to this recall while having to pay for it on my own.
Multiple ford dealerships have rejected to fix/or settle my recalled issue on my brakes and ive been in just misses just about every time i push the brake pedel due to you gotta push the peddle down to the floor just to stop otherwise it wont stop the car without hitting someone... Nhtsa campaign id: 19v904000 the issue has only been getting worse since ive owened the car.
2006 ford fusion fails to start or even crank trying to start.been to 3 different ford dealerships in 3 states, ohio, md., and now illinois.all say that the computer testing shows nothing wrong, and consequently, they don't know what the problem is.but the problem remains.car did not start at the md dealership and he put on a fuel pump but said that would probably not fix it.they say they can't fix the problem because they don't know what is causing the problem but yet the problem continues even acknowledging personally witnessing the problem.so ford says live with the problem because they don't know what is causing the problem.totally unsatisfactory.new car but can't be relied to start everytime and ford doesn't know what to do about it.we want to give the car back early on its lease, replace car, give loaner to keep car on their lot to have time to figure out problem, take car to more sophisticated testing area to finally figure out what is wrong with this car.

When i'm driving and running 45 mill's my car get death. I went to auto zone and they say the throttle body it's not good.i have information this part it's under investigation
I have had to replace the transmission, the head gasket, drive shaft and carrier barrings. When i had the vehicle fixed i was told i need a new gas tank as well. My passenger side airbag compartment is rising up from the dash and i am concerned it will deploy even without an accident to initiate the deploy. Called ford motor company and they were not willing to help in any way. I purchased the car in 2013 and have had problems from the start with no help from ford. Thank you.
On an interstate merge ramp, the fusion suddenly lost power and felt like it would stall. Wrench light came on and engine surged with acceleration, but never got over 40 mph. When i took my foot off the gas pedal, it felt like the car would stall; it lurched and managed to keep going very slowly. I feared for my safety on this very busy interstate. The car lurched and surged until i could get to a safe stopping point.
After i purchase my vehicle about 2 1/2 years ago i contacted my dealer multiple times in the past and i let them know it felt like my car was not accelerating properly and i was told that's just how ford's drive.eventually the dealer ended up having to replace the coil stating that it had been burned out in the llama problem should be fixed. Now back in august it just got completely worse. I was driving and attempted to accelerate at a green light and my car would not proceed, at that point i continued to press on the gas and eventually my car slowly picked up and begin to go now every time i accelerate my car feels as if it is stalling.
Every time the vehicle gets gas, it doesn't even need to be a fill up, the entire passenger compartment is consumed with gas fumes. We took it to ford dealers and they say there is no problem you're probably just over filling it when you get gas or they are spilling gas but that is not the issue at all, i'm positive about it. We contacted ford corporate and they sent us to another dealer who said the same thing. I think there may be a problem which would require removal of the gas tank and they just don't want to do it. Has there been any safety recalls about this? this car is my mothers and i don't know how she hasn't passed out while driving from the fumes, it really is terrible and we have no answers. I'm a former mechanic from years and years ago and know there is a problem here, maybe a vacuum hose or fitting or the gas tank itself, i see online other years had a similar problem above the gas tank with a plastic fitting cracking. She has been dealing with this problem since she got this car two or three years ago. She did have another car hit her from behind on the drivers side bumper when parked and it was repaired at a body shop but the car was taken to the dealers after that time.

While driving at low speeds the car has on several occasions surged forward and last week after starting the car the gas pedal was unresponsive and the "wrench" warning light came on.i restarted it and it seemed to be ok but the check engine light was on.i plugged in a code reader and it gave me error codes p2104 and p2112.i can't believe this isn't part of a recall based on the number of people it is affecting.
I was driving on a highway and suddenly my engine "staled" and the wrench light came on.it forced me to pull over, shut the vehicle off, and restart it after about 2 minutes.this was the first incident.it did it a second time while doing 40mph, trying to make it home.this is the exact same behavior that is covered by the 2009-2013 electronic throttle body recall.

Used interior handle on a ford fusion 2008 in a normal manner, and it snapped off. The car can no longer be opened from the drivers side.after a search online, it appears this has happened to numerous people.
We own a 2008 ford fusion 6 cyl. Awd. Shortly after we bought it we started having trouble with the rear passenger door. The door handle on the outside will not go back into place and the door will not shut. The drivers door handle on the inside broke and cracked and door will not lock. Here lately when we are driving all of a sudden the car will sound like a sledge hammer is being banged underneath the car making the car shake. We were told that it is either the transferring case or some other car. It will cost $950 or $1500 for the part not counting labor fees. The dealership did not give us the warranty that they said it came with. We were told by the mechanic that this problem is common with the ford fusion and the ford escape. For some reason the awd wants to kick in when you reach 25 mph. If this is a common problem then these vehicles need to be recalled before someone gets hurt. Everyone that rides in our car and it starts acting up, wants to jump out of the car.
The inside driver door handle broke on the inside of the door and i was unable to open it from the inside or lock my driver door.
Driver's door on left side of vehicle, door lock and unlock latch broke, rendering door inoperative, can only enter and exit vehicle by using outside door latch (roll down window, reach your arm out, pull latch to open, roll window back up and exit vehicle, but will not lock) and door will no longer lock, remains unlocked at all times, part number 6e5z5422601a is the faulty part plastic breaks jamming the unlock latch from moving. The chrome plastic of the handle is nice, but clearly a metal composition should have been used in the design instead of plastic, after researching on the web appears to be several consumers with the same issue. Part prices range from $70.00 - $192.00 depending on the seller / business, such and issue that even the chinese are making money by manufacturing the part. Safety concerns are exiting the vehicle in an accident, the driver is trapped, have not seen anything on web of accident deaths due to fault, but i'm sure it's coming.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the door locks were not functioning properly.

Passenger door latch/lock broke, unable to open door from the inside. I have own this fusion since 2008 this is the third time a door latch/lock has broken. The previous two times have been on the driver side, first time mileage was around 40,000 second time was around 80,000. Believe this can be a safety issue is the car is into a car accident or is force into the water the driver or passenger would be unable to escape the car.

The youtube video ford fusion door latch problem by oldfredsshed 3:22 minutes describes the problem exactly i'm having with my inner doors latches on my 2008 ford fusion. The doors handles are breaking and i think this is a design flaw. I googled the problem i'm having with my door handles and many people are having this same problem.i have contacted the ford motor company and they say this is not a recall or warranty problem.citrus ford wants me to pay $265 just to replace one handle and i think this should have been a recall item. This is a safety issue.in an emergency and you can't open the door and with power windows and no power this could be a matter of life and death.

On a 2008 ford fusion se 4 cylinder i have had to replace the right rear brakes twice before 50,000 miles.it appears the calipers are sticking.i even spoke with ford mechanics that say this is a problem but no recall has been filed.i looked on line and seems to be well known, but nothing has been done.

The ptu on my car went out last month. When i called the dealer to order it i was informed by the parts department to look into recalls because there is a known issue. I started looking and there is a recall for this particular ptu on the edge, flex and some fusions...but not for mine...i have called ford and asked why and i was given no explanation. This unit was manufactured by ford to be a non-serviceable lifetime unit...obviously it is not. They have admitted that there is a problem and even replaced some of them...why is mine not covered when it is the same exact parts as the others? i have also found that a class action law suit is being filed over this issue.
The rear carrier bearing is already wearing out. From searching around on the internet, this is a known problem. My car only has 65000 miles on it, there should be no reason for this to happen. You can't find a replacement bearing, so it makes me thing ford knows about the issue but is not willing to do anything about it; leaving people to hope the drive shaft doesn't fall out going down the road.
2008 fusion se-v6 awd model (fwd + it has a drive shaft that goes to the rear wheels for awd).several miles before i brought it in for service for the below problem the car began making a howling/whirring noise at the rear of the engine only when the car was in motion which got louder as the speed increased.imy ford dealer told me the noise was because of a bad driveshaft and it should be replaced asap as driving it the way it is a safety issue.my car had just come out the manufacturer's 60,000 mile warranty and i was not pleased to learn that i would have to pay $1103.35 for the repair. The dealer tried to get ford to ok the repair under my just expired warranty. If the shaft suddenly failed, it could cause control problems so it is a safety issue particularly at highway speeds.after much research i found that ford was well aware of the problem and even issued an internal technical service bulletin # tsb 08-14-1 stating that the oem driveshafts on the 2008 ford fusion awd models were not "keyed" correctly when manufactured and over a period of time will eventually fail and dislodge from the vehicle. A revised shaft was manufactured and should be used to replace defective shafts.ford knew of the potentially part failure but rather than notify the owners or have a safety recall, they chose to keep it "in-house" and only fix it when the owners reported it. Since the most failures seemed to occur near the 60,000 mile point (mine was just over that), ford chose to adopt a "wait and see" attitude on this problem/safety issue.since the shaft repair one year ago, i have written to the district ford representative and the chairman of the board of ford, alan [xxx] about how this was handled but to no avail. I am shocked and dismayed that ford would treat its customers this way (i own 3 fords) and the way they handled this potentially dangerous safety issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Transmissions are going out on these cars between 2006-2010. Which will leave people stranded in the road way which could become a hazard. The reason for this issue is because ford put a defective program in the computer for the transmission which causes the transmission to fail. I would appreciate if the issue was looked in to thank you.
Traveled from ct to marathon, fl, arriving after noon.within sight of the hotel destination the engine began to break down and run rough.i also smelled smoke.i managed to get to the hotel parking lot before the engine quit altogether.a local shop diagnosed the problem as two cylinder misfires and failed ignition coils.57 mi from the dealer in key west and over 100 mi from miami, i elected to have a local ase certified shop replace the coils.reflashing the pcm showed a new set of codes and that the pcm was failed and needed to be replaced.according to machado ford in miami, there were no pcms in ford's inventory in all of the us.searched for remanufactured pcms was fruitless as well.finally contacted armstrong ford in homestead and they said they could fix the car.$996.56 to the shop in big pine key.transported the car to homestead on fri 2/21.monday the dealer had located a pcm and replacement was completed under warranty tuesday afternoon.i picked up the car on wednesday and left for jacksonville in the afternoon.120 mi north in jupitor, the engine failed again.we sat on the side of the fl turnpike's 70 mph traffic until we could have the car transported to mullinax ford in west palm, arriving after the service dept had closed.the next day i learned that all three catalytic converters were plugged and needed replacement.two converters were available and were replaced on 2/28.the third converter was back ordered with an expected availability of 3/31.since the remaining unit had discharged its contents into the tailpipe and was discarded, i was able to drive back to ct.tasca ford in berlin ct is still waiting for the replacement converter after numerous extensions of delivery dates from ford.the ford customer serv rep refused to return my calls.my total out of pocket expenses exceed $4000 to date.
Power train control module broken, 3 months after i purchased it. Made my pregnant wife stranded during the winter. Ford did nothing to help about it. $1500 bill and left my wife stranded in the middle of the road waiting for cars to hit her. Thanks for nothing ford.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that when putting the vehicle into reverse, the vehicle jerk violently and made an abnormal sound. The contact mentioned that the wrench warning icon illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000 and the current mileage 61,374.
Car began running rough and there was no power in the throttle.the problem was diagnosed as an issue with the throttle body or actuator.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 30 mph, the wrench warning icon illuminated "powertrain fault". The contact depressed the brake pedal and it traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was eventually able to stop and pulled over to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to odaniel ford mitsubishi (631 lincoln hwy w, new haven, in 46774, (855) 973-4169) where it was diagnosed that the electrical throttle body and abs failed. The electrical throttle body was replaced, but the contact was informed that there was no repair for the brakes. The contact's brother retrieved the vehicle from the dealer after the repairs. While driving 30 mph and approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to engage. The vehicle was able to come to a stop after traveling through an intersection without a crash. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact did not feel safe driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. No assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 196,625.
At 4 way stop sign and when stepped on gas nothing, wouldn't go forward or reverse.as long as car was running couldn't get into park.while in drive or low gear a grinding noise was underneath the car.had good transmission fluid and was where it suppose to be on dip stick. This is a 6 speed transmission and found out from our mechanic the ford has had a lot of problems with this particular transmission and do not make them anymore.
In the driveway and turned the car on. The check engine light and wrench light came on and there was no throttle and the engine took a while to kick on. The scan tool said error code p2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed.
Used vehicle purchase 2 days ago, my husband and i drove the car on a test drive and it went well, after all the papers were done we got in the car and went to go eat and when we came out to leave and i tried to pull the into r and it would not budge so my husband tried to drive instead and he couldn't pull it in to r and this happened we immediately called the dealer and they said come back and they tried for about 20 minutes and asked we bring it back tomorrow, so we did and they said oh we adjusted the automatic transaxle linkage it won't happen again and here again i went to the pharmacy today and tried for 32 minutes to put the car in gear. In any gear and i couldn't i got so upset i called my husband and asked him what to do if i couldn't get it in gear and he told me try again for a bit and if i still couldn't do it, calla wrecker to pick it up. I have spoken to numerous owners in the last few days on the ford owners forums and it is atrocious just how many times i have been told they have had issues like this too. Come on i have trouble paying for a car i may or may not be able to drive!
Auto transmission stopped shifting into higher gears. Only 1st and reverse. Had a shop try to repair it. Now it shift from 1st to second and then to fourth. Still no 3rd or 5th gear?spent over $ 600.00 so far.
Ptu (transfer case) is leaking out of vent tube.because the ptu oil is not serviceable (no drain plug) the oil has degraded and turned into a thick tar like substance clogging up the unit.now unit makes whining noise during acceleration destroying the gears.
Transmission has always been problematic. Owned car for 9 years. Hesitates to accelerate, shifts very hard, cannot climb hills. Wrench light came on 7/22/2018 while driving and car will not shift out of 2nd gear. Would not go over 45 mph at 6000 rpm. Needs entirely new transmission. $2800 total cost.
Was not notified of any recalls on this vehicle when i purchased it. I had an accident last month and the brakes locked up and i couldn't control the steering and went careening off the roadway into a stationary sign and tow up the passenger side of my vehicle. The passenger air bag never deployed. Nor the driver air bag.
Cracked dashboard that exposes the airbag.power train coil on damage.
Throttle unresponsive on left hand turn at intersection. No power but engine idles. Throttle body replaced under warranty. Now several years later, the throttle body has failed twice at highway speeds of 55mph. Car rapidly decelerates. Transmission disengages.
I was driving home the car started shaking and idling very rough. Check engine light came on and the car died on me right in the middle of traffic. I was stuck on a city street during rush hour traffic.got it to a dealer coil pack had exploded frying the power train control module. Research shows this is an issue on fusions 2006-2009. But no resolutions are offered by ford.
2013 we had to have the transmission rebuilt (92k miles)in august 2014 had to take back to transmission shop i had a problem with shift solenoid sticking they repaired.in 2015 back to transmission shop same problem.january 25, 2016 back to transmission shop same problem and they have to rebuild the transmission again.there is a major problem with these transmission.i should not have to put 2500.00 for a rebuilt transmission twice.. 65k miles later it is bad again.i don't drive hills or mountains.i live flat land and i drive a lot of hwy miles.this is bull!!!! i went to see if there are any recalls on it and there is not but i see a whole lot of complaints.all for the same problem. Upon your request i can forward the paperwork for the repairs once my car has been done this week.i want ford to step up and take care of their customers.when i put the car in ri was holding on to the steering wheel because it jerk so hard i thought it was going to send me through the windshield.i am so disappointed in ford and i have owned so many of them over the years.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard, but it took numerous attempts to stop the vehicle. The contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to waldorf ford (2440 crain hwy, waldorf, md 20601, (301) 234-7591) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. An independent mechanic diagnosed and repaired the master cylinder. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 36,000.
Whirring noise developed from awd drive shaft carrier bearing.
My ignition coils have melted and fried the pcm. Long story short it was a very dangerous situation where i was in the middle of a highway going 50mph when my car just wouldn't accelerate. It started shaking violently and i thought i was going to lose control. Luckily, i was able to safely make it to the side of the road and have it towed to the local dealership. Unfortunately, ford has yet to take responsibility and recall these defective parts. There are thousands of complaints filed online. This issue costs thousands to fix and should be taken seriously by ford. Even the dealership commented that they thought the ignition coil may have melted before they even looked at it because they know this is a known issue with ford fusions. I'm really disappointed in ford.
I started my car and it sounded & seemed normal.however, after driving less than 2 miles, my engine suddenly decelerated and the rpms dropped dramatically.i tried to accelerate and it would not increase speed.iwas able to get off the road safely.i had to have my car towed.the mechanic determined that the problem was due to a faulty power train control module which impacts the ignition coils and the estimated cost of repair is $2100!one of my ignition coils was melted. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin on this issue, however, they do not deem this a safety issue!cars that just stop running or decelerate quickly is most definitely a safety issue.i can think of many scenarios where this issue would cause injury or perhaps even death.had i been on a freeway or driving at a greater speed where there was more traffic, i could certainly have ended up in an accident with another vehicle.i researched this concern and found that i am not alone and there have many others affected by the same exact situation.ford is of the opinion that this should be the responsibility of the car owner and they do not hold themselves accountable.i understand how warranties work and i realize that cars age.however, this issue has nothing to do with wear and tear or age.this is a faulty piece of equipment that is causing a safety issue when it hampers a vehicle's ability to continue in a forward motion at a normal rate of speed.any help you can provide on this issue would be appreciated.
While driving there is a loud humming sound, the vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, the center support bearing is bad, and drive shaft is rusted, almost solid. The vehicle miles are far too low for this to be normal wear and tear.
I was driving down the road and the wrench service light came on. I wasn't familiar with what that light meant. When i got home i looked in the owners manual for suggestions. I got new gras, made sure the gas cap was tight, and waited for 3 cold starts to see if it would go off. Then we went to leave bin the car and vit wouldn't go, even with the accelerator pushed all the way down. I called a ford dealership to have it towed there. In doing research this appears to be common with ford fusions and i feel there should be changes or a recall. My research told me what was wrong before the car left the driveway as the issue is so searchable on the internet!
My vehicle has had no previous mechanical defects or issues. On the above listed date, my vehicle had difficulty starting after sitting (off) for approximately 12 hours. I began to drive and the vehicle died while i was driving. Later diagnostics revealed that the pcm and ignition coils were damaged. This is a known issue for ford, as they have issued a tsb on the issue. Ford has neglected to issue a recall or safety advisory to their affected customers, and is now failing to rectify the issue.this is a major safety defect, as the vehicle could become inoperable while operating at moderate to high speeds, which could cause a loss of control. Ford is aware of the issue and is failing to take responsibility and protect its consumers.
Started with very loud sounds coming form the car - thought it was the front end. Took it to ford in paso robles, ca they could find nothing wrong.transmission failure began with faulty shifting - check engine light came on. Contacted ford immediately they set my apt time 4 days later - i had to park my car until i was able to take it in. The transmission had to be replaced on 5/29/2014. It is now 4/1/15 and the samenoises are coming back and i expect the transmission to have to be replaced again very soon.
On an interstate merge ramp, the fusion suddenly lost power and felt like it would stall. Wrench light came on and engine surged with acceleration, but never got over 40 mph. When i took my foot off the gas pedal, it felt like the car would stall; it lurched and managed to keep going very slowly. I feared for my safety on this very busy interstate. The car lurched and surged until i could get to a safe stopping point.

The transmission codes that cynoilod a was bad had it replaced and flushed (check engine lightand wrench was on) had it replaced went to dealership to update the on board computer did not solve the problem shifting and the rmp did not go back to normal after further inspection fromford dealerthey said the transmission was bad and would be more than the car was worth it would be a total lose thank you ford
Car parked at the driveway, started the car, see an engine light and wrench light in the dashboard, tried to accelerate gas pedal, it appears there's no accelerating power. Rpm unstable, engine shaking. Called aaa roadside assistance, aaa technician checked and started the car its the same issue. He recommended to disconnect the positive battery cable to reset computer system. Disconnected wait for 10 seconds and re-start the engine, then everything worked. Took the car to a ford dealer, service advisor believe to be the electronic throttle body problem. Verified in the computer if there's a recall for 2008 ford fusion, however nothing reported at this time.
Purchased the car for my daughter's 16th birthday.i believe it only had 20,000 miles on it.she had if for 2 years and has always thought the car ran a little "sluggish".in april, 2013 the car began to decelerate when stepping on the gas, and would not shift properly.brought it to the ford dealer we purchased it from, who told us the transmission was gone and it needed to be replaced. We were even told that these particular cars "were not meant to last" and that "most people traded these cars in after only a couple of years." we also contacted ford motor company who refused to help us out with any portion of the defect. We installed a brand new ford transmission for $1,400 and now, only 3 months later we are having to replace the transmission again for the same problem. Also, within a couple of months after purchasing the vehicle the door handles started to peel and my daughter and her passengers have cut themselves.
I have had to replace the transmission, the head gasket, drive shaft and carrier barrings. When i had the vehicle fixed i was told i need a new gas tank as well. My passenger side airbag compartment is rising up from the dash and i am concerned it will deploy even without an accident to initiate the deploy. Called ford motor company and they were not willing to help in any way. I purchased the car in 2013 and have had problems from the start with no help from ford. Thank you.
The transmission started being difficult to shift into gear. Then, i have started hearing a whirring sound from the engine compartment. After reading up on some of the problems, it appears my torque converter is dying! which will lead to total transmission failure!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ thanks ford!
Why isn't there a recall on the brakes and transmission, our brake pedal went all the way down to the floor on a few occasions, then it seemed fine, and it would happen again, there have been numerous complaints on this issue, we had to pay $2,700 tohave ford fix it, and the transmission jumps, when you step on the gas the car lurches and this is going to cost a lot of money that we don'thave.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle decreased in speed and failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the external throttle body was damaged and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,600. The vin was not available.
I purchased a 2008 ford fusion awd/6 speed in 2009 with only 107 miles. I kept record of all required maintenance on the car. Just recently planning to take a vacation from colorado to see my son at nellis air force base, so last month i got all maintenance don't it again. Oil change, transmission & power steering flush, etc. I parked the car with no problem. The next day, i started the car and it has no power, i drove it down the drive way and have i to turn around. The engine was knocking so bad the i thought i would fall off on the ground. I got it towed to the mechanic and the said the coil is bad, they replace two coils that cost $600.00. Right when the mechanic is going to call us to pick up the car, they said it was running worse. Now they said those coils melted, and now the pcm need replacement. I called ford corporate and they said there is no recall for pmc on 2008 ford fusion but yet several mechanic said this is not normal. I expect to come out of pocket for at lease $2000.00.
I was driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph, when my car started to lose speed. I was on an incline at the time which made it worse. I almost caused an accident. Afterwards i pulled over. My wrench light came on. Indicating that there is a problem with the throttle body. My car when in to limp mode. After doing extensive research on this matter, i did find that there has been a recall for the throttle body replacement in north carolina. I did call ford and mentioned that to then. They had me give them my vehicle identification number and told me that it does not apply to my vehicle. I do not understand how this can be a safety recall for some, but not for all.
This car is all wheel drive. The center support bearings also called carrier bearings on the center driveshaft going from the power take off unit to the rear differential went bad making a very loud roaring noise. As a mechanic myself, trucks have these bearings and they rarely go bad if at all but at high mileages. Failure at 35000 miles is unheard of.
We own a 2008 ford fusion 6 cyl. Awd. Shortly after we bought it we started having trouble with the rear passenger door. The door handle on the outside will not go back into place and the door will not shut. The drivers door handle on the inside broke and cracked and door will not lock. Here lately when we are driving all of a sudden the car will sound like a sledge hammer is being banged underneath the car making the car shake. We were told that it is either the transferring case or some other car. It will cost $950 or $1500 for the part not counting labor fees. The dealership did not give us the warranty that they said it came with. We were told by the mechanic that this problem is common with the ford fusion and the ford escape. For some reason the awd wants to kick in when you reach 25 mph. If this is a common problem then these vehicles need to be recalled before someone gets hurt. Everyone that rides in our car and it starts acting up, wants to jump out of the car.

I was driving our 2008 fusion on winding roads near our home in wnc. I was into a switch back turn and was approached by an oncoming vehicle which was on my side of the double yellow line.i did not have to swerve but allowed plenty of room for the other vehicle to pass. As they passed i was pulled into the snow and ice and off the road. I hit the side of a mountain and came to an instant stop. Our vehicle has sustained many thousands of dollars worth of damage ie front end bumper and sheet metal engine cradlebroken, frame floor roof buckled doors on the right side windshield. All this damage with no air bag deployment or seat belt interlock! i was driving approximately 30 to 35 mph and sustained several injuriesamong which are; facial lacerations and contusions, knee injury resulting in bruising and contusions and reinjuring of recent shoulder surgery.i also am seeking legal advise as to fords liabilities.
Air bag readiness light on the instrument panel started coming on and going off. After a week it started staying on after starting up the car and it does not go off. Next the seat belt light stays on after you have locked in your seatbelt on the drivers side and no one is in the passenger seat.
I been having problems with the airbag and selt belts since august 2017.i receive a recall in the mail letting me know that my airbag in my car is been recall.
My air bags are turned off and so far no dealer said they can fix the air bags after all these years. My passenger seat belt would not buckle and ford refused to fix it unless i paid a 300.00 price. I took it to bell tire and they put a new one in for much less.i don't feel i should have paid anything because it was a safety issue.i also had to put 5 batteries in my car because the would be totally dead. The last one even though it was under warranty i had to pay for. Year 2017. I told them to dc my automatic starter because they thought for several yrs. It might be that and it was. In the mean time i paid for an altanater i did not need. Paid out a lot of moneyto the dealer that was not necessary. I have all the bills for all the years.all started in 2010with the battery which i bought when the car was still under lease.i bought the car and to date the miles are just going to 36,000
I was driving home from work on rt. 511or lorain street in oberlin, ohio. The light on lorain and s. Pleasant was flashing. I had the yellow flashing light i was driving 35 the speed limit and a girl with her two children did not stop for her red light and i hit her t-bone. My airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock.this forced me to grip the steering wheel with my hands and as i did this i bruised my arms, chest from the steering wheel trauma. I raised up from the seat and hit the top of my knees and they are bruised. I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital for treatment and release. I missed 3 days of work and still have pain in my muscles and trauma to my body.i have contacted ford motor co. For their response.i feel i should be compensated due to my injuries and missing work.and if i had been driving on a highway and this happened i could have been hurt worse or thrown through the windshield.there was extensive damage to my car and i have a rental for over two weeks i have to drive.i would like someone to check into ford motor co. I will seek legal counsel if this is not resolved.

The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, he forcefully depressed on the brake pedal and the vehicle jerked to a stop. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact drove to his destination. The contact stated he experience the failure for a second time on 12/15/2020. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. A dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 156,822. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
First event, upon approaching a city stoplight & braking, the 2008 ford fusion skidded on a manhole cover, vibrated, shuddered & suddenly brakes went soft & i had to press all the way to the floor to stop. Car took a long time & distance to stop, & approx. 15 minutes to recover normal braking capability. Problem has occurred when brake is engaged & travelling over rough pavement as well as manhole covers - with additional time now required to recover brakes. These sudden anti-lock braking episodes occur on city streets while coming to a stop so no excessive speed involved. Episodes increasing in frequency over past year. Mechanics dismissed issue after checking brakes a couple times & finding no problem. Of course, anti-lock episodes are intermittent & never happen when mechanics are at the wheel! although our only vehicle, car is garaged until replacement parts arrive as unwilling to risk attempting to brake in winter road conditions. Dangerous issue although thankfully no accidents to report.
Multiple times when i would be coming to a stop i have to push the breaks all the way to the floor and it still does not stop right away. Quite a few times i almost rear ended the car in front of me, and another time i drove into on coming traffic as my car was not stopping properly. It just braked slowly before coming to a complete stop in the middle of the lane in front of me. I have a loss of break pressure.
While braking down a hill and about to make a left-hand turn, the abs system kicked on suddenly and the brake pedal hit the floor. The brakes felt very sluggish after that, like only the rear breaks were working and the brake pedal had to be depressed all the way to the floor in order to achieve any deceleration. After speaking with a mechanic he informed me that this is a common problem and that the abs hydrolic unit of the vehicle need to be replaced. I have not received the vehicle back yet from the mechanic but it will cost at least $1100 dollars for the repair. $800 for the abs hydrolic unit and $300 for labor and services.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. In addition, the abs warning indicator illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer (grand ledge ford, 6080 e saginaw hwy, grand ledge, mi 48837, (517) 627-8100) was contacted to schedule a second diagnostic appointment. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
When braking on a rough road surface while moving the brake pedal moved towards the floor and went soft. After several applications of pumping the pedal the feel improved somewhat but did not get back to normal. Also, the free-play distance of the pedal travel increased over the previous normal condition. Took car to ford dealer, they replaced the master cylinder, which did not fix issue. They then told me the abs hcu needed to be replaced. Vehicle is currently awaiting hcu replacement.
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.
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.
The brakes do not function properly.during any driving, the first third of typical brake pedal press is normal and the vehicle brakes normally.however the middle third does nothing additional to brake the vehicle and the last third brakes aggressively.i have recently replaced the brake pads, serviced the rotors, replaced the master cylinder, and bled the brake lines.none of these services have correct the issue.i have read many forums where other users were experiencing the same problem with the final solution being replacement of the abs control module; a very expensive part to replace.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving and making a turn, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to operate as intended. In addition, the contact stated that the brake pedal was spongy traveled to the floorboard before bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. The contact coasted to the side of the road, waited for a while, and resumed driving slowly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic (carlo auto repair shop) where it was diagnosed that the abs hydraulic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
I was traveling through colorado on a paved but fairly steep grade road.a car behind me was tailgating so i pulled over to a dirt patch to let them pass.patch was rough so the abs activated.immediately following abs activation and shutoff, the brake pedal went soft.it required pushing all the way to the floor to get any brake stopping power.had i let my foot off the brake at any point, or not immediately slammed my foot all the way down when i realized what was happening, i could have slammed into a tree.pedal still remains soft and requires pushing all the way to the floor to stop.half way to the floor it feels like it will brake normally but it still goes soft.if i slam on the brakes they work normally for a moment, but then go soft and spongy again.this is the second time this has happened to me.the last time auto-corrected itself after turning my car off and on and pumping the brakes hard, but not this time.this is incredibly dangerous!after research online it seems this is a very common problem, as well.please investigate and put pressure on ford to issue a recall!
When coming to a stop or slowing down when i go to brake the paddle can go all the way to the floor losing brake pressure. Once this happens the brake do not recover for sometime i have to pump the brakes in order to stop. It sometimes takes a day before they recover.this usually occurs while braking on uneven roads , manhole covers, railroad tracks it can happen on slight imperfections in the road also very scary.
Abs brakes failed after hitting a pot hole causing the peddle to go to the floor. Abs failed on a rough road at a four way intersection causing loss of brakes and ended up in the intersection.
This vehicle fails to stop on slick or icy roads.step on brake and it goes right to floor.after 5 to 10 seconds brake will build back up.sometimes brake locks up and slides to the left.this has been under investigation since 2016, is our government planning on giving us some kind of relief from the ford motor company.why is it taking so long?how many people have to get hurt before you make ford pay for their mistake.you have already had an admission the fault was caused by the hcu being composed of zinc which was the major problem.very expensive fix and ford should eat their own mistake.help us fusion owners.this has happened to me a number of times.i can't afford a new car and the mechanics fix does not work,even though it is a 2 thousand dollar fix.
Experiencing problem with low/soft brake after the abs engages. Vehicle in motion, stopped slightly suddenly, abs activated. Afterwards my brake pedal is very soft, begins to brake, then goes nearly to the floor before fully stopping car. Dangerous situation.
Problems with the abs hcu.abs activated after hitting large bump in the road and then brake pedal has been soft ever since.it has done this twice in the past however it has corrected itself rather quickly. This time it has not corrected itself after 3 days.
I was driving down the highway at 70pmh, tried to slow entering a curve onto another highway, 271s to 71s, in ohio and had to hit my brakes hard because traffic jammed suddenly. I didn't have brakes at all, my abs never kicked in. I went off the side of the highway and even then couldn't stop with my foot all the way down.i nearly hit the person in front of me going about 50+. I took it directly to my mechanic who replaced my master cylinder again (2x in 5 months) and after he was done the pedal no longer brakes properly. When attempting to stop the pedal is nearly to the floor. It is akin to not having pedals at all. I have to stand on it to stop and even then its the panic feeling of being unable to stop. This is an issue that could kill and i've read many other stories of people with similar issues with braking. Ford said that happens sometimes when my mechanic called and gave no further reasoning to it. I don't feel safe driving a car i've had a year that's not even a decade old.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact drove over a bump and lost braking ability. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floor. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 72,000.
Son was in an accident where he rear ended a vehicle.the car in front stopped short and my son tried to stop but brake pedal went to floor. Accident occurred on rural 2 lane road at about 30 mph.my son tried to swerve off the road to miss the vehicle but clipped him.over $4,000 in repairs and brakes are still very soft.new calipers, master cylinder and still not right.updated 9/21/18
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but went to the floorboard. The contact stated that the braking distance was extended due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to epic ford located at 5200 evergreen way, everett, washington 98203, (425)-353-7171 to be inspected. The contact was informed that the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 80,000.
When the abs activates the pedal goes to the floor and you have to pump to stop. I had it reset with tester and it is doing it again. I was told the pump and control module are bad need to be replaced. Very dangerous and common. 2 other vehicles in shop for the same thing.ford needs to a dress this.
2008 ford fusion brakes are soft and go to floor. Takes longer and more room to brake. First happened when raining or hitting a puddle brake pedal would go to floor; now happens every time you brake. Push pedal down it goes 75% down before brake engages. This is a huge safety issue. Issue found to be abs hydraulic control unit.
When braking on a bumpy road, brakes become soft/ goes to the floor.abs problem. Happened about 9x already. Almost cost an accident.have to re trigger the abs to restore brake firmness.
When braking on icy,wet, or snowy roads the brakes work the first time but then when you attempt to brake again the brake pedal hits the floor and you loose brake pressure. In order to regain brake pressure you have to pump the brakes hard or slam on them a few times for the brakes to begin working again. This happened at least 5x last winter. We called several ford dealers to report this problem and were told they had never heard of it. After fearing for our safety we researched the problem on the internet and found many other fusion owners reporting the same problem and had success fixing this problem by replacing the abs. We took our car to a dealer and they were unable to confirm the problem. We went with our gut and had the abs replaced. We paid out of pocket about 2,000 for this repair.
Lose brakes after abs went on - has happen few times each year i have own the car.
Brakes got real mushy and went all the way to floor board at times.mostly when i was stopped on them going to the floor board and when moving just mushy but stopping distance was not nearly as good.
I was told by a uftring ford they were waiting on manufacturer and was directed to call ford. I called ford and they told me nhsta was still determining what they were willing to fix and to call them and that they were told by nhtsa that it would be end of 3rd quarter 2020 before the recall was fixed. My brakes will go from really soft taking 20 feet or better to stop with the pedal to the floor but at other times will stop normal just with soft break pedals. My car spends it's days parked and we do well with just one car but if i could trust my car to drive it to work i would but until this is fixed i can't. It's value makes it hard to sell especially with the recall.
My vehicle was in motion every time the problem occurs. I lose all braking ability for approximately two to no more than five second periods. This has occurred on six total occasions on different days and months.i have replaced my vehicles master cylinder six months ago. I don't feel safe driving my own car. I have witnesses that can confirm this information. The problem has occurred on highways, public roads, also in private drives.
Hydraulic controlmy abs system has not been working correctly since purchase of my ford fusion back in november 2015.i have taken it back to the haldeman ford dealership in trenton nj on route 33 multiple times where they either did not look at he problem, document it or replaced the same part(s) over and over again. Until the warranty ran out 96000 miles.then they were able to diagnose the problem accurately at 97798 miles and request $1500 for repairs.since the car was derivable at the time and their service was not to be trusted any more i declined service and drove it until the breaks hit the floor, literally.around 120000 miles i was taking my kids to an amusement park and the breaks stopped working all together landing myself, and my two children ages six (6) and two (2) in the middle of a busy intersection.luckily nobody was hurt, but now the haldeman ford dealership in trenton nj on route 33 has my car until it is fixed.they refuse to fix it because it is not under warranty but continue to tell me to call ford corporate.ford corporate tells me to call the dealership as they are all independently owned and they cannot assist.please start a recall on this known issue, a quick google search will pull up many results, as so i can keep my children safe and with a father.
While driving on snowy/icy roads my abs brakes took hold when i needed to stop. However, after that my brakes didn't seem right. They seemed to be soft. My pedal goes further to the floor. Not as much pressure on the pedal. I have concern that when i am on snowy roads my brakes do not seem to be reacting like they should.
This problem occurs while in motion, and only after the abs system is activated.after the abs system is activated the brakes get very soft.when in this state, the brake pedal goes almost to the floor before the brakes slow the car, and i am very concerned about stopping distance and also the extra time it takes to depress the brake that far.the system typically does not recover from this until the car is taken in for repair and even then, the repairs often do not fix the problem.three times we have taken it in, the last two times to the dealer.new rotors (replaced twice), master and slave cylinders, pads, system flushing will sometimes temporarily fix the problem however it recurs.thousands of dollars spent and the problem persists.we feel we have an unsafe car we cannot drive or sell to another person.otherwise the vehicle runs well.this has been going on for two or three years.the problem most recently occurred after a snow event on12/18/2017 however, it seem to happen every time the abs is engaged.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the brakes failed. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis where it was stated that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer wasnotified. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000. Updated 12/04/13*lj
The break pedal goes to the floor board very soft and squishy no brake control this has happened twice and the dealer can not fix it...sells us brake jobs but that doesn't fix the pedal action the last time it happened was after traveling over a bumpy road and a panic stop was required
The brake pedal goes almost the whole way to the floor without stopping the car. We've had the car in to two different dealerships multiple times and have had several costly repairs that have not corrected the problem. Now we're told it needs a new abs unit and will cost an additional $1100 to repair. We have had several close calls, but so far no accidents causing damage. Most recently, going around a sharp curve on a rainy night, my husband skidded and ran off the road before the brakes engaged. They had been working, and the failure was sudden.
The brakes went all the way down to the floor, the ford dealer said that there are 3 components in the system 1)master cylinder 2)hcu 3)power booster, he said that the master cylinder probably leaked into the hcu, which in turn messed up the power booster. The dealership also said that there have been numerous complaints from other 2008 ford fusion owners with the same thing. So our question is why doesn't ford have a recall since they said there is a problem with the brake system on the 2008 ford fusion? now they want us to pay $2070 to have it fixed, we have a small grandchild that we transport to school daily, if something happens to the brake system, then what? we want ford to have a recall on this before someone dies. How could all 3 components go bad at once????
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while his wife was driving 70 mph, the brakes pedal was applied and depressed to the floorboard. There were no warning lights illuminated. 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 currie motors ford (9423 w lincoln hwy, frankfort, il 60423, (866) 697-0924) 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 made aware of the issue however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 100,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
After an abs even the brakes become spongy or even non-existant. 2 different dealers say no problems. This issue has nearly caused several accidents as the brakes are inconsistent. On-line several people point to a failure of the hbu. I just need to know if this is it. I can not keep throwing money at this issue. Ford needs to either step up and recall this or tell dealers what to fix.
Starting about 4 months ago, the brakes started acting extremely weird. When you are driving and push in the brakes to stop, the brake pedal pushes like a sponge and wont stop. At first when you push it, it starts to brake, but then quits working and requires you to push it to the floor.this will usually go on 1-2 weeks, and then will start working like normal. About 1-2 weeks each month, the brakes act up and you feel like you wont stop.this happens whether you are going 15 mph or 60 mph. This can happen at anytime, any place, any speed. I have taken this into a dealership, which they told me they thought new brake pads and rotors would fix. $400 later and nothing fixed.
Car was in motion on a city street in traffic.as i drove over a small pothole while i was braking, it began to brake normally then suddenly went almost to the floor and the car did not slow down until the last moment.i barely missed hitting the car in front of me.
I was driving on a road and went over a pothole. After doing that, the brakes went soft and i had to push the brakes all the way to the floor to get the car to stop and, even then, i felt that the car barely stopped. The car was not braking properly and the stopping distance needed to stop varied each time i pushed the brake after the incident. This is not the first time this has happened. This has occurred with my brakes three times in the past two years and in each instance, i've almost been in accidents because of the varying stopping distance needed. It always seems to happen when i've encountered rough road conditions or had to slam on my brakes. It is extremely dangerous and makes me feel unsafe driving my vehicle. I've had to take the car to be serviced several times and have spent over $1,000 trying to find a solution.
January 2020 and again october 2020 i received a safety recall notice from the ford motor company stating a safety recall notice 19s54/nhtsa recall 19v-904 that a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anit-lock braking system may be stuck open. My 2008 ford fusion indeed has this problem. Every time my anti-lock braking system is activated, my brake pedal sinks to the ground and it takes control and time for the car to come to a stop. After, the brake pedal remains soft and i have to pump the brake peddle to get pressure back up. This has been a problem since approximately 2018 for this vehicle.it has now been over a year and the manufacturer has yet to notify me of a fix for this recall problem. This time frame is unacceptable.
A recall was announced on 12/18/2019 and my vehicle has not been repaired yet.
Replaced all 4 pads and rotors.drivers side rear is sticking.it has heated up so much it has warped the new rotor. The other 3 stay cool and work as expected. After looking online i found caliper failure very common on the ford fusion.i replaced caliper and brake hose.still sticking.since i can only get remanufactured calipers, i guess i will have to keep returning until i get one that works properly.these should have been recalled or replacements issued.
Brakes will go soft. Seems to coincide with abs events or rough surfaces. Vehicle will still stop, but requires longer to stop. Brake pressure seems a lot less during this. Issue eventually corrects itself. Can't say whether or not it is related to cold weather as it happens in above and below freezing temps. Research has led us to suspect the abs/hcu module may have a stuck valve and is causing the brake fluid to bypass and recirculate through the system instead of being applied fully to the brakes.issue occurred after a hard stop in icy conditions which triggered the abs. Issue occurred after make a turn on a dry but rough corner. Most recent occurrence was around dec 19th, 2016. It was sometime in november 2016 that it happened before that.
Put in brand new master cylindersept 2013 with only 28,119 miles on it.dashboard separated from the passenger side airbag. Sept. 2013. 28, 119 miles driver side door handle replaced sept. 2016. 47,147 milesdefroster panel on drivers side of dashboard separated september 2016.
1st incident - braking, entering exit ramp - hit pot hole. Brakes went soft.had to push to floor in order to slow the car. Brakes continued to be soft on drive. Very unsafe. When destination was reached i turned the car on and off three times while pumping the brakes (while off and while on). After letting the car set for a while the brakes reset.2nd incident - snowy, icy. Going less than 40 mph braking for stop sign. Abs engaged, brakes when soft and couldn't get car slowed. Drove for 2 miles and pulled off.turned car on and off twice while pumping brakes (while off and while on).could not get brakes to reset.drove home and have it off to see if more time all allow it to reset.both incidents i was nearly in very bad accidents. This is not safe at all and there are countless complaints on various blogs online regarding '06, '07 and especially '08 ford fusions with the same issue.
I was driving in the city down a residential road and had to switch into the turn lane, which had tons of cars in line. So i started to push down on my brake, which never had to be pushed down very far to activate. I had to push the pedal all the way to the floor just to get any reaction. I swerved out of that lane as i was nearing an accident with the next car in the turn lane. Luckily there were no cars in the lane i swerved back into. I thought i had lost my brakes. The next day they were still just as bad so i had to take my car in to a ford service center to get it looked it as i wanted my brakes back. They had said it was the hydraulic converter unit and it would cost a pretty penny. Since every car needs brakes, i had to pay the price(over $1,500). The employees there had told me this car had been having these issues and may be getting a recall for this specific issue. I see there have been over 140 complaints of this exact problem so i'd like to add my instance to that total. I'm lucky i wasn't in an accident as it was very close. It would be nice if the investigation would conclude since there's so many instances with this same occurrence and people could get there money back for whatever repairs they had to pay for.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While braking, the abs activated, the brakes malfunctioned, and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle delayed in finally stopping. The failure occurred at least five times with the brakes returning to normal afterwards. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 189,000.
I have been waiting for 1.50 years for the brakes to be fixed due to a recall, the brakes go out continually when driving and i've had them fixed multiple times but the issue has not been resolved. When looking up the recall ford status they are still not ready to fix the problem when it is a safety issue that requires me not to drive my car. It is an unsafe situation and should have been remedied back in 2019 when the recall was issued. Please advise as to when this can be fixed.
Been experiencing increased stopping distance (e.g., running up on vehicles at traffic lights).two days ago, wife unable to stop in parking space - ran up and over the stop-block.i checked the vehicle and found brake pedal moves slowly to floor under constant foot pressure.dealer says hcu needs replacing.
Hydraulic control unit on the anti-lock brake system failed! critical safety system failure. Driving on residential street at around 30 mph, clear and dry conditions. Made a hard stop to avoid a dog in the road. The anti-lock brakes engaged and then the brakes failed, brake pedal went to the floor. Pumped them and the brakes were now spongy and went to the bottom again. I took the car to my mechanic and he changed the brake master cylinder and it failed to fix the problem.they had to take it to the dealer to change the hydraulic control unit on the anti-lock brake system. It failed and was stuck open. There have been many similar complaints on this car.cost to repair was $1678.00.
Abs control module
I was driving in snow and when i hit the brakes the abs made a loud noise and my brake pedal went to the floor.since then my brakes go almost to the floor before stopping.
Recall notice in january 2020 19v-904 been calling they keep telling me no parts available. This is a break problem. The letter said that the breaks could fail. Should i be driving the car?
Pressed brake pedal, brakes seemed soft or spongy and were slow to brake vehicle.released brake pedal and attempted again. Brakes finally resumed working but now see softer than before. Automotive repair could not determine cause but advised replacing abs due to receiving similar complaints.
2008 ford fusion brakes are sinking all the way down to the floor at 93k while in motion. I see a lot of complaints from others online, but no confirmation that ford will take care of the matter or it being listed as a recall. Also the driver seat warmer does not work.
Brake pedal is very soft has to be completely compressed to make a complete stop. Faulty part is said to be abs hcu.
On several occasions i have hadan 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.
I hit a slick spot on the road and the antilock brakes engaged.once they engaged, the pedal went to the floor and i had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle.once i got the car to stop, i pumped brakes up and they seemed fine until i got to the next stop sign.although the abs didn't engage, i still had no brakes and had to use the emergency brake to stop.i pumped again and got brakes back but they were spongy.this morning, i removed the abs fuse and the brakes were fine.
The brakes on my 2008 ford fusion suddenly started going to the floor. I could pump them up and would have braking ability but they would again go to the floor the next time i went to stop. I checked the brake fluid level in the master brake cylinder reservoir. It was at the appropriate level. I took it to my mechanic. He found leakage at the rear of the brake reservoir. The master brake cylinder was replaced. I have not had this problem since then.
"takata recall" the brake pedal can go "soft" when driving on slippery or uneven surfaces. The brakes do not feel like they are working correctly. I have to put it almost to the floor in order for the car to stop. Even then it feels that it will not stop in time. During our last snow storm it was completely un reliable. I do not currently feel safe or that they re working correctly at all. It has been going on for some time now. You can feel the abs engage when you use the breaks but it never goes back to the way it was prior to the engagement of the brakes.
Takata recall. The airbag light continues to stay on, every once in a wail the light go off for a day or so but comes back on. When i make a turn, as i apply the brakes the car seems to slide.
Abs system goes haywire if you hit a bump while braking.pedal goes to the floor.after researching social media, i discovered that this is a rampant problem on older fusions.seems like there should be some kind of recall for a problem that is this wide spread and common.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed at 10 mph, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact mentioned that the brake pedal went to the floorboard and lost pressure. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the failure was unable to be determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000. The vin was unavailable.
The brake pedal goes to the floor after an abs event such as hitting a bump in the road or slippery conditions.the pedal remains soft and will go to the floor diminishing breaking ability.
Noticed spongy brake pedal/pedal not firm/going almost to the floor. This issue occurred shortly after hitting a large pot hole/bump while in motion, braking for a right hand turn onto a city street. Abs was activated during the turn upon hitting the bump, although the road conditions were dry and not slippery. Vehicle would still stop with the spongy pedal, but the pedal had more travel than it should have before engaging the brake. Upon reading about similar problems with this model vehicle, (possible hcu malfunction)the vehicle was taken to a ford dealership for inspection. Dealership techs had not heard of any vehicles with similar hcu issues. Upon driving this vehicle, the tech originally stated he experienced the exact opposite problem - instead of a soft, spongy pedal, he experienced a pedal so firm that it could not be depressed. This extreme firm pedal was a one-time event. Vehicle remained at the dealership for 3 days, where techs indicated that the vehicle passed all of it's tests and the brake pedal had returned to normal firmness in all test drives. Techs could not duplicate any brake pedal abnormalities. Brake pedal has since returned to normal firmness for the time being. The original spongy pedal issue remains unresolved at this time.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While the contact's son was driving 25 mph, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the vehicle drove through an intersection. There was no crash. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was 149,172.
During first snowfall of the year the vehicle abs engaged while braking. After the abs disengaged, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and i was unable to come to stop or even slow my vehicle. I was approaching a red light at a busy intersection on a surface street. Thankfully, and due to the snowy road conditions, i was traveling slower than normal on this road. If i had been going the posted speed limit and typical follow distance, i don't believe i would have been able to stop the vehicle before crossing the intersection.in order to stop i had to shift the vehicle into low gear and use the hand brake. I pulled into a parking lot and luckily was not in a collision. Prior to the abs engaging, the vehicle's brakes functioned without issue.the vehicle had to be towed to a service garage as it was unsafe to drive. Upon inspection from garage, i was told that the brake control unit was defective and would have to be replaced. The mechanic noted that he had already fixed this specific issue on same/similar model cars. He stated that i was the first he had heard this issue occurring after abs engagement, and that other customers typically report that this problem occurs after hitting a bump in the road. The mechanic also noted that this issue is non-existent or very uncommon on other vehicles. Total cost of vehicle tow was $90. Total cost of vehicle repair including parts was $1226.69.
In winter 2014/2015,cars brakes quit working while driving in snow. I took the car to a mechanic who could not replicate the problem. Drove car for about a year to this past winter 2015/2016,when driving on snow attempted to slow down at traffic light for a left-hand turn doing 45 mph when breaks quit working again. I could not stop and cars slid through intersection. Finally coasted to a stop on side of road. Took her back to mechanic who replace the master cylinder. On april 20, 2016, ipulled into a convenience store and hit a bump in the parking lot breaks quit working and i almost ran into the building of the store.after sitting in park and pushing the break as i had done previously, they worked fine and i was able to drive home. I may 3,2016,i pulled into that same convenient store with the same bump and lost my brakes again. This time bumping the curb before i stopped. I called ford i may for 2016 after doing some researchonline and finding that this is a common problem with the 2008 ford fusion yet there is no recall. Ford said unfortunately there is no recall but i could take my car to a ford service center for repair. I feel this is a serious safety problem and i could die or end up killing someone else because i can't stop.
Twice in about 10 months the car was park and when backing out of a parking spot the car did not stop when pressing on the brake. The latest on was june 30 , 2021
The hydraulic control unit for the brakes is not working properly. This occurred after the vehicle tires spun slightly in about 1/2-1 inch of snow while pulling out of a parking spot onto a paved city street triggering the asb. The vehicle was parked inside a garage for a week before being driven again and the braking problem discovered. Now when you press on the brake pedal to slow down or stop, it fades down before coming to a hard stop and the vehicle takes a greater distance to stop. There is great concern that the brakes will fail completely, causing an accident. This issue should be addressed as a safety recall.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the parking brake was activated along with the brake pedal and was able to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to (big valley ford lincoln located at 3282 auto center cir, stockton, ca 95212) to be diagnosed. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part for the recall repair was not available. The contact stated the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The failure mileage was 41,000.
While driving on a gravel road at slow speed for about 3 miles i came to a stop sign/intersection.when i applied the brakes there was no resistance and the pedal went to the floor before it did brake and locked the wheels and slid to a stop.i drove another hundred feet and pulled off the road and it did the same thing; pedal to the floor.with motor idling i opened the hood and checked the brake fluid level which was full, closed the hood and checked the brakes and they were fine; a full pedal.i drove another 20 miles or so in stop and go traffic and the brakes were flawless, full working pedal, no problems at all.i then went to my local ford dealership where i related the above to the service mgr. And was told there was no way to diagnose the problem since at that time everything was working fine.he advised me that it could be the booster or master cylinder losing vacuum , but there was no way to check it.i suggested trading the vehicle since it is dangerous to drive but that might get someone else killed.the service mgr. Said if/when it happens and does not change or correct itself, they could then fix it.when it happens again i fear it will result in an accident. What can i do?there are several forums, etc. That suggest i am not alone.i bought this car new and nothing has been done to it.i am so afraid it will happen again and cause an accident that i cannot keep it and i fear for anyone who purchases it.i need an answer.
I checked the recalls on my vehicle and it says the hydrolic control valve for the brakes is stuck open and ford company has yet to have a remedy for it
Abs brake controller: after abs was activated on a slippery stop, abs light and traction control light illuminate intermittently at startup and while driving.abs and/or traction control operate intermittently during normal dry stops.the behavior is consistent with the descriptions on the nhtsa site of cars with fouled abs controller valves. Turning off the traction control system seems to decrease the frequency that abs gets activated during normal stops.
Brake pedal goes to the floor before brakes start to engage. Local shop isolated any issues with the wheel brake assemblies and stated that is was either the master cylinder or the abs module. Brakes will engage sooner in the pedal travel if they are pumped once. Based on research it appears that it is most likely a stuck valve in the abs hydraulic unit.
2008 ford fusion was recalled by ford because of an anti-lock brake system failure. The first safety recall notice 19s54 was issued in 2019. We got notification of the recall from ford in early 2020. The notification clearly stated and was confirmed by a call to ford corporate and our ford dealer park ford of mahopac ny that parts for the repair were not available and that we would be informed when they do become available. We were informed that parts were available and we brought the car in for two recall repairs. A recall to replace the driver side airbag was completed but not for the anti-lock brake system. Instead they ran a test on the system and a procedure to try to fix the issue without having to replace parts. This procedure rendered the car unsafe to drive because the brake pedal now needs to be pumped to get pressure for the brakes to be operational. Although this test failed and rendered the car unsafe ford released the car with a promise to replace the parts when they become available. A call to ford corporate to inform them of this safety issue was that they have no programs that cover the vehicle any more to help in this situation. The anti-lock brake system originally failed around 2014. We noticed the problem when the anti-lock brake warning light would intermittently come on. After a period of time of daily driving the vehicle the light remained on the the brake system became spongy. Local repair confirmed the problem and diagnosed it to be an anti-lock brake hcu failure. After getting the vehicle to invoke the anti-lock system while driving the pedal fade disappeared. So the car drove normally but the anti-lock light was illuminated. Every year the car passed nys inspection and the brakes were tested. A total brake job replacing brake lines, calipers, drums and rotors was completed in 2020. The system passed with normal braking operation even though the anti-lock brake warning light was still on. So for years after the failure the system operated
I bought my car in 2011 and in 2014 i started having issue with my brakes giving out when i would brake and hit bumps in the road.i would have slam the pedal to the floor to get any reaction out of my brakes or pump my brakes.i took my car in to the dealership to have the brakes looked at.the agreed that the brakes were not reacting as they should.they informed me that my calipers needed replaced.i asked how common that was and they said it was rare to have to replace calipers.i got online and read consumer reviews and realized this was common in my make/model/year of car.i spend over $1,000 to have the calipers replaced and to pay for a rental car while the work was being done.since then i have adjusted my driving style so as not to trigger my brakes giving out.however, this winter i hit a bump while braking so as not to hit the car in front of me and my brakes gave out again.i was able to get the car stopped by pushing the pedal to the floor, but those extra seconds to get the car stopped and my panic when the car wouldn't brake was terrifying.it's weird because then after a few days it was like my brakes came back to normal, but it was about a week of being very careful with my brakes before they returned to normal.date & information of incident given is the date & information from the first time this happened in 2014, not the date & information from this year (jan 21, 2017) when it happened again.
I finally got the abs control module replaced in the ford fusion after living with 'soft brakes' for many years. When an abs event occurs, the pedal goes soft immediately after, and the braking distance significantly increases.the abs warning light never came on. Ford should be more responsible about taking care of this defect before people get hurt.
The contact owns a 2008 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 the dealership deml ford lincoln inc. (2100 us hwy 14 w, waseca, mn 56093; (507) 835-3425) 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. The contact stated that on several occasions the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The approximate failure mileage 150,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
When stopping or slowing down (such as when approaching a stop sign or stop light) the brakes began feeling soft, "mushy," and braking distance seemed to increase. Bringing the car to a more abrupt stop required increased pressure on the brakes. I took the car to my mechanic for servicing. The mechanic "bled" the brakes and advised me the problem appears to be the hydraulic control unit (hcu) not closing properly and allowing small amounts of air into the brake line, causing the brakes to feel mushy and requiring more pressure than normal to stop the car. This condition has been documented to your agencypreviously as evidenced by this document: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2018/inoa-ea18002-5464.pdf .my complaint is meant to add to you list of complaintants.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While applying the brakes, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The anti-lock brakes failed, causing a 5-10 second deceleration delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 97,000.
No brakes .... My car has been basically yard art for several months .... Have had issues with spongy brakes for years if i had to stop suddenly and the abs brakes where engaged ...then the brakes would go spongy.. Another time i didn't even know if the car was going to stop i slide instead of stopping ... This past may 2017 i was in traffic and a car pulled out in front of me had to slam my brakes on and i barely got stopped ! scared me to death .. Brakes were extremely spongy by the time i made it home i didn't have any brakes at all !!! my husband replaced brake pads , calibers, master cylinder , and rotors ! well over $700 i paid out . Still have no brakes at all . This is a safety issue why is nothing being done ????? i'm the only income my family has and now i have a car almost paid for that just sits !!! it's yard art prett much .... I am spending a fortune to get to work and back and can't afford the $500 for theabs module / pump not to mention the cost to have it put on !!! this is horrible ... I'm already die hard ford girl but after his experience i will never buy another one ....
I have had a recall notice from ford since the beginning of the year. Ford notified me that parts were expected in the first quarter of 2020. It is now 9/8/2020, and i have not heard from ford about any repair dates. I could probably schedule a repair myself and get it done. It seems as though they are not motivated. Need help.
2008 ford fusion faulty brakes "hydraulic control unit".(see links below )my wife and child where on the highway when she switched lanes and attempted to use her brakes at the same time. Like out of a horror film her brakes did not work and pedal went down all the way to the floor. Brakes went super soft and the vehicles emergency brake needed to be used to avoid a collision. After doing research i am not sure why this has not been a recall yet. I found countless people with the same complaint reporting faulty brakes and dealer reported a faulty hydraulic control module (please see links below). With a cost of up to $1000. This is unacceptable please look into this issue.* http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/fusion/2008/brakes/*http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2008/ford/fusion/service_brakes_hydraulic/problem.aspx* http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2008/ford/fusion/hydraulic+brake* http://m.carcomplaints.com/ford/fusion/2008/brakes/service_brakes.shtml* http://repairpal.com/disgusted-with-the-brakes-532
When hitting brakes while going over rough or bumpy roads at 25 miles per hour or higher brakes engage anti-lock braking and brake pedal stops working with now power and no resistance. Brakes stop working and must be pumped several times to get a response. Slowly at times it may take days to get back to working a full pressure unless issue arises with rough road.
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.
Upon applying the brakes when approaching a stop light and going over a small bump, the brakes failed and it took extended distance to stop creating a hazardous event almost causing an accident into another vehicle.since event occurred, the brakes feel spongy and it takes extended braking distance to stop. After research and diagnostics i was informed it is the abs modulator failing. I called ford to discuss the issue and inquire about the amount of the complaints, but yet no recall has been issued. The girl i spoke to suggested going to a ford dealership to have a diagnostics test performed. She also kept restating the airbag issue. I requested to speak to a supervisor. She responded saying she would transfer me, however, she just redirected me to the main menu.
On roughly five occasions my brake pedal has not allowed me to stop in sufficient time. The brake pedal went to the floor after hitting a rough patch and a wet road on a normal street. After pumping the brakes it resolves itself. Sometimes more quickly than other times. First time occurred, brakes were bled to remove air from line, then master cylinder was replaced and did not resolve the issue. Fortunately, no injuries due to my safe driving of distancing from previous vehicles. The belle tire current diagnoses is the faulty abs hydraulic control unit. Documenting last time happened: 11/7/18.
Brakes have become spongey and a lot of pressure is needed to engage the brakes.the master cylinder and the rotors and brake pads have been serviced and inspected. The fusion has done this multiple times and now has stayed consistently spongey. All services have been done through the ford dealership.
On 12/19/16,i was northbound on interstate 5 in south orange county, ca in the extreme right lane at approximately 60 mph. A pickup truck towing a small trailer in the lane to my left, suddenly started coming into my lane without signals. I stood on the brakes and the horn. The rear tires started to skid for approximately 2-3 seconds and then stopped skidding as the computer control took over the brakes. I was still hard on the brakes as the truck and trailer returned to the second lane.there was no contact and i was able to resume to the next off ramp. When i started to brake, the pedal felt as if it was almost touching the floor. I was slowing down very slowly and felt that i was not going to stop in time for the light. I drove home slowly and every time i braked, it felt as if i was not going to stop. The next morning, i drove to the ford dealer as they had replaced my front brakes on 12/02/16 (rears ok). The brakes felt normal on the drive over. The service advisor thought it had reset itself after sitting. The dealer could not find anything wrong and said to return if happened again. Unknown.
On several occurrences in the past, my brakes have "gone soft" after a need to slam on the brakes or hitting an icy patch of road. On 05 january 2018, i had a need to slam on the brakes in traffic. After the initial need to hit the brakes, i needed to hit them hard again to avoid hitting another vehicle. I ended up swerving into a ditch, which i believe is a direct result of the brake issue on my car. Had i been able to stop properly, i feel that this accident could have been avoided. It's disturbing to me that these brakes have never been recalled with so many instances of such an issue.
Son was driving car (it was raining) and attempted to stop -- the pedal went almost to the floor before brakes took hold.this issue did not happen again until a few weeks later.the brake pedal again went almost to the floor before vehicle stopped.now the brake pedal has to be depressed way over half way before brakes are applied.took it to a shop and brakes were checked out and bled -- shop indicated there was an issue with the abs.i feel as if this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed by ford as it appears this car is not the only one to have this issue.
My daughters car so when it started i not sure. I drove the car and stepped on the brakes they went to the floor. The pedal would pump back up. Took car and had the brakes bled. That didnt work.they put on a new master cylinder brake are mushy at best. Dealer no help.there at least 20 reports on this sight for this model are you going to wait till someone gets killed????read your own website for this car.
Pedal hit the floor and not stopping the car properly
Re: recall 19s54/nhtsa 19v-904 opened on 12/18/19 2008 100,000k miles ford fusion abs hydraulic brake problem. I originally received a letter from ford in jan 2020. It stated parts should be available late 1q of 2020. I received a 2nd letter october 2020 stating parts should be available late 1q of 2021. On dec 30, 2020, my wife was driving the car when she tried to brake at a stop light during normal traffic but wet conditions. The brake pedal went down to the floor, but did not immediately stop the car, causing the car to swerve. My mechanic and i also experienced this problem with poor braking. The mechanic advised that he could not repair the problem without the proper part from ford. I opened a case (cas-29149078) withford regarding the recall with numerous representatives. The last person at ford i spoke with was eunise, a manager (800-392-3673) who told me to take the car to dealer currie motors in frankfort il for a diagnosis. The dealer can then diagnose it and then request parts thru ford. I spoke with the parts mgr (john) and advisor (joe k) who told me that i would need to pay for the diagnosis ($150) and that no parts are available.the car is often driven oninterstate 355, so the car cannot be driven safely.it is now being garage kept and undriven until repairs can be made (advised by my insurance company). This isa replacement for nhtsa case #11387712.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard which extended the braking distance. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). Neither the ford dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted nor notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Attached is the work order and the payment receipt we paid ford, we pray that we can get our money back. On oct 28,2015 my ford fusion: low/soft brake pedal at times ,i brought my certified pre owned ford fusion 2008 in 2012, at capital ford dealership in raleigh nc. The service department is wonderful. I am a senior citizen on social security i have no funds for savings so i am limited in what i do, my brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, i drive my great grandson to kindergarten daily, to school and on that day it was a dry day, i am afraid the car won't stop one day.i have all info that it is not the master cylinder, but a hcu, my warranty ran out at 124,000 miles, i have 132,000 miles, but i understand that this has been an issue with the 2008 ford fusions.then on nov. 3 i was driving to raleigh and went to stop at the light and the pedal went all the way to the floor, and i panicked but got the car to stop with hitting any thing, when my husband called ford the man said that they had problems with that year vehicle before, and that all 3 components of the brake system had to be replaced ant the same time we have no money other than social security, and we had to pay $2,700 to have it fixed this is so terrible for a company like ford to have a recall on floor mats and not on the brake system or the transmission, our car was taken back to ford about the car lurching forward when we stepped on the gas and them at 40 miles per hour the whole car would lurch like it was jumping put of gear, and the ford mechanic said they couldn't find anything wrong with the car, we will never buy another ford.[xxx]redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)*cc
The problem initially began because i had to brake hard to avoid an accident on the freeway and the brakes failed. After restarting the vehicle the brakes went back to normal. A week later as i was driving down a street, i braked normally to pull in to a business parking lot and the brakes failed almost completely. The pedal went down to the floor and would not stop the vehicle in a safe distance. Also, they had a spongy feel. They would not properly grip until i turned the car off and then on again. Had there been another vehicle in front of me i would have hit them, or if this happened on a local freeway here in houston, tx it could be potentially fatal. After researching the problem, i learned that many other individuals have had the same exact issue. The problem appears to be a faulty abs modulator.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed at 30 mph, the vehicle hesitated to stop. The contact mentioned that the vehicle eventually coasted to a stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs controller failed and needed to the replaced along with the master cylinder. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000..updated 01/23/17 updated 03/13/17.
I was coming to a stop from a normal speed of about 30 miles per hour when my break pedal went straight to the floor. I had to swerve into the next lane to keep from running into the back of the car in front of me. I had to pump the breaks several times to come to a stop. I took my car to my mechanic and he replaced the break mastercylinder but that did not fix the problem. He did some research and concluded that the abs module is faulty and needs to be taken to the dealer for further repair. I can currently stop my car while driving but my break pedal has to be pushed nearly to the floor and i have to break from a significantly further distance.
On three occasions in the past twelve months the brakes nearly failed (went soft) while braking in rain or a rough surface.i reported this to my service technician on my last visit of 11/15/16.the brakes were checked and no problems were found.the technician had no knowledge of this type of problem.
Tucson, az.city driving; potholes and sand on roadways common.no evasive or avoidance skidding preceded poor brake performance.brake pedal must be pushed nearly to the floor to get brake action, which is only partial brake effectiveness.brake repair shop replaced master cylinder - no change in brake performance.brake repair shop then replaced abs hydraulic control unit - brake performance returns to normal.brake shop advised abs can activate with cause, then hcu valve sticks open, creating reported condition.
Brake pedal travels farther down before stopping ...
The brake pedal suddenly went to the floor when my wife was driving vehicle thank goodness for e brakes on center console
Brakes are low/soft when abs is activated and it's been diagnosed as being hcu defective from factory.this is very dangerous for public because it can cause driver to crash into objects or other cars. This needs to be recalled by ford motor company.
Brake pedal goes to floor when abs kicks in. Brake pedal is now spongy.cd player makes noises like it is trying to change cd's but there are no cd's in it.
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.i had to pump the brakes to make the vehicle come to a stop.
I was pulling into a parking spot, the car went over curb and into a tree that stopped me.the brakes seemed to work after that but was i afraid to drive the vehicle. I have taken it to a mechanic he cant find the part because ford doesn't make that part anymore. I'm still without a vehicle. I saw on the news you were investigating 2007-2009 ford fusions for brake pressure failure i believe that is what happened to me.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 30 mph, the wrench warning icon illuminated "powertrain fault". The contact depressed the brake pedal and it traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was eventually able to stop and pulled over to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to odaniel ford mitsubishi (631 lincoln hwy w, new haven, in 46774, (855) 973-4169) where it was diagnosed that the electrical throttle body and abs failed. The electrical throttle body was replaced, but the contact was informed that there was no repair for the brakes. The contact's brother retrieved the vehicle from the dealer after the repairs. While driving 30 mph and approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to engage. The vehicle was able to come to a stop after traveling through an intersection without a crash. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact did not feel safe driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. No assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 196,625.
The vehicle would randomly lose its braking efficiency. The brake pedal would go all the way to the floor and would require 3 times more distance to stop.i need to pump the brakes a few times as if im bleeding the system, upon pumping the brakes the system will then feel pressurized and able to apply pressure to the calipers.
Numerous occasions where brake went soft during 2018. Had the brakes checked out 2x but nothing was determined. I'm december 2018 during a skiff of snow the brakes went soft and to the floor and my daughter rear ended the truck in front of her causing $3,000 in damage. Thankful the defective airbag that we have been waiting to get fixed under recall for 1.5 years+ did not deploy.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the hcu became jammed in the open position, causing the brake pedal to stick to the floor when depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the hcu was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
The brakes go spongy after hitting a simple pothole. You have to push your foot to the floor and be sure you have room to stop and not hit anything. If you had a sudden stop, it would take way longer to stop. There is over 160 complaints on this on same year of fusion. That says enough to me. Some people said it was a defective brake control unit. Defective means there should be a recall. The air bags are still an issue as well. Please help with a recall!!!
I was driving down a frontage road about 25 miles per hour when i put my foot on the brakes.i felt the abs engage and when i broke again my foot went down to the floor.this happened on friday, august 28.i drove it home, being very careful not to go near any other cars and time my driving so i did not have to brake at lights.the next day i took it to the shop and when i got there i noticed that the brakes once again engaged but i left it there anyway because i did not trust what was going on.i received a call today from my mechanic and he said that through some research he did, he found that there seems to be an intermittent problem recorded with the abs on the 2008 ford fusions.the part would take up to 3 days to get at a cost of $800 with 5 hours of labor to repair!!! after doing some research myself, it seems like my car is not the only one this has happened too and i'm shocked that there is no recall for such a safety hazard.i was just glad that this happened when i was driving the car vs. My daughter and that i was not in a situation that i needed to brake to avoid hitting someone or something.
I purchased this vehicle in november of 2019 with approximately 161,000 miles on it. Between december of 2019 and april, 2020, i experienced 3 incidents where if i hit a pothole with my foot on the brakes, afterward the pedal would sink low to the floor and required aggressive effort to stop the vehicle. On these 3 occasions, if i parked the car after a few hours the problem would correct itself. I also received a letter from ford in january 2020 advising of the safety recall(notice # 19s54, nhtsa recall # 19v-804) stating that parts would be available in the first quarter of 2020. With covid-19 about, i didn't have to drive much. On june 30th, 2020 a driver in front of me panic stopped which forced me to do the same on a street with dry conditions. After 2 days the same problem persisted so i contacted ford customer service, who advised me to set up an appointment to bring the car in. I did so and dropped the car with ernesto at red mccombs ford in san antonio, tx on july 6th, 2020. The dealer supplied me with a rental through enterprise. On july 7th, dealer calls and tells me they could not find the problem and that i owed them $149 diagnostic fee and had to pay for the rental. I called ford customer service and complained. They gave me a ticket number (cas27013862) and told me to wait to hear from a service manager (that call never came). I also had to pay $162 for the additional insurance i had on the rental. On july 22nd, 220, the dealer calls and asks what i am doing with the rental. I told them that i opened the above referenced case with ford and gave them the case number. They were unaware of this fact. On july 23rd, 2020 i received another call from the dealer who advised that ford closed the case. I called ford again who advised on 4 seperate occasions during the call that the case was open and in progress. Ford then told me to call the service department
Hit a pothole in road just prior to stop light, brakes did not stop car until after going through intersection, then took a long time to stop even at slow speeds while driving to repair shop.i had to push brake pedal nearly to the floor to get it to stop, even at slow speeds.
While braking and hitting a bump in the road that activated the anti-lock braking system (abs) system the brake pedal would not engage properly after this.the pedal would have to be depressed almost all the way to the floor to stop.vehicle was inspected and determined to have a stuck valve on the hydraulic control unit which is an integral part of the abs system.repair cost was $100 to bleed all new fluid into the system and $925 to diagnose and repair the faulty abs hydraulic control unit.
In multiple occasions, after hitting a slight bump while braking the brake pedal has gone completely to the floor. Making it hard to stop at a safe distance. The abs hydraulic control unit seems to be the main problem. This problem is occurring with many 2008 ford fusion owners and it is a huge safety risk. In two separate occasions i had to quickly move to the next lane in order to avoid hitting the car in front of me.
Over the past couple years when the abs was activated during hard braking, the pedal went very low and compromised braking power.after a few pumps the pedal regained its pressure, but whenever the abs activated the pedal would go low again. This symptom was easily repeatable.in oct 2016, the brake pedal remained low permanently when under normal vehicle operation, but still had braking power.i brought it into a brake shop in nov 2016 to see what the problem was and after they replaced the brake master cylinder the car still had the same symptoms. The narrowed it down to the abs pump and after bench-testing it they determined it had stuck valves which was allowing air into the brake system. This appears to be a common and potentially very dangerous problem with 06-08 ford fusions.
Abs activated when slowing for a right hand turn on wet roads then brake pedal went to the floor and got very soft. Car would not slow down, had to pull out of traffic lanes. Abs indicator came on. After restarting car brakes recovered to normal however abs indicator comes on intermittently.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to engage immediately. When the brake pedal was first depressed, it felt spongy and traveled close to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,800.
The brake pedal goes most of the way to the floor with 90 percent loss of brake pressure causing the vehicle to take a longer amount of time to stop when the abs system activates on slippery roads or when driving on bumpy road conditions. This has happened repeatedly for over a year. The last incident was 02/26/2019 and almost disabled the vehicle with its severity.
Had instance to hit breaks when sliding on ice. Car stopped and abs was working. Afterwords, pedal depressed to floor. I could stop by pumping them, but thought they had suffured failure. Mechanic i took the car to, said he reset computer code, found air in line, and they worked fine for over a year. Last month, they did the same thing. This time over the course of a couple of days while were away from home, we stopped very carefully. They did seem to correct themselves over the course of time. Returned to mechanic, who went online to try and find reason for problem, after finding no other problem with system, believes that the fault lies in the abs module.these incidents all happened during extreme braking proceedures.
I have not had a accident (thank god). But after a abs event on 2 separate occasions i lost 95% of my braking power/pedal. The pedal/braking does come back eventually but who wants to guess when it will go out again. I live in michigan so abs events can happen often in the winter.i was turning into a parking lot when i hit a low sewer cover that was wet which caused my wheel to slide just a brief moment . Then when i went to use the brakes next to pull into a parking spot there was nothing. That was the first incident. I really cannot say for sure what caused the next one due to being a snow storm outside. Dealer says the hcu is the culprit and the part alone is $1200.00. Full install is almost $2000.00. I am having it fixed for safety sake because ifeel this is not something to be put off.
Braking system problems. Going to stop with brakes very soft or non existent. Most of the system has been replaced with oem parts to no avail. Problem to be hydraulic control unit for abs system. Almost caused numerous accidents because the car would not stop when the brake petal went all the way to the floor. Started after abs system kicked in last winter. The car was in motion and roads were slightly icy. Happened again last night may 18 2017 at 1130 at night. Car failed to stop at intersection at my work in butler pa pulling on to route 8 a major highway. Car finally stopped about an 1/8 th of way threw then light changed to green then proceed in my way home brakes returned to the normal soft petal and made it home safely.
Instances where braking while going over rough road or bumps causes brake to stop working, pedal goes to floor. Recently applied brake while going over slight uneven pavement. Brake went soft, to floor, traveled approx 75 yards. Wouldn't stop. Able to coast to parking spot w curb. Very scary!!!! shut off car, came back out hour later still soft too the floor. No brake. Pumped several times and then they seemed to work fine. Took to look local shop nothing wrong that they could find. Researched and it's the same absissue and occurrence as reported by others. Luckily there weren't any vehicles., obstacles or pedestrians in front of me or i would have hit them. I shook for over an hour.
Dec 25 2013 the abs activated on ice in our driveway, the next day the brakes were soft and delayed in activating. Considering age and miles i decided to flush and bleed the brakes, this did not fix the problem until i activated the abs by performing a hard stop on dry pavement. Dec 16 2016 the abs activated on ice, once again the brakes became soft, and once again i was able to clear the problem only after activating the abs by braking hard on dry pavement. Now i hear in the news my brake symptoms are under investigation.
On multiple occasions when driving over rough, icy, or wet roads and or turning in these conditions while applying the brake, the abs will engage and the brake pedal will become soft and go almost to the floor. The abs system is designed this way, however, after an abs event, braking action should return to normal (i.e. No pulsating) in this case it does not. It seems the hydraulic control unit valves stay stuck open after an abs event and fail to close, this leads to low brake pressure/pulsating brakes all the time. Extremely dangerous and frustrating. No prior braking issues occurred before this event and recent brake system checks were made. This is a recurring issue that sometimes 'magically' fixes itself in between engine starts.
Earlier today i filed a complaint regarding a popping sound heard when trying to brake as i drove over a speed bump in the parking lot. After i did, the brakes had to be pressed all the way to the floor, as i lost brake pressure. I came home and parked my car, checking to see if there was a leak or lack of brake fluid. The brake fluid tank is full and despite waiting hours before attempting to drive my vehicle again, there is no evidence of a leak. I assumed perhaps it was a temporary issue and attempted to drive again without any initial problem. The brakes were working fine again, however twenty minutes into my drive, and while traveling at about 50mph along alcoa hwy, i attempted to brake for traffic and my brake pedal again had to be pressed all the way to the floor. This time, i pumped the brakes in a state of panic, as i was afraid i'd hit the car in front of me and the brakes seemed fine again. There was no issue after pumping the brake. I continued driving until i could turn around and return home. At this point, i was terrified i could be in a fatal car accident. Upon returning home, i again attempted to brake for traffic and discovered that while my brakes are working, they seem to only do so after i've pumped them a few times first. They are extremely intermittent in their operation, leaving me to assume that there is something seriously wrong with the brake system. After extensive online research, i am now finding many similar complaints dating back several years where others have had and continue to have identical brake problems, yet there doesn't seem to be anything done about the problem. I don't understand why that is. As a result, i'll be forwarding my concerns to cnn immediately to inquire as to why nothing has come of this issue given the extreme seriousness of this and other complaints like it.
The brakes are spongy and have to pushed almost to the floor for them to be applied.
On 2/3/2017 i bought a 2008 ford fusion sel,,from a used car dealership an,about a month after while driving a lady pulled out in front of me an when i tried to apply my breaks they went about a inch or so from the floor board,was a very scary feeling,that i pray never happen's again! after barely missing i pumped the breaks for a few minutes,then peddle might of been about 3 to 4 inches from thethe floor. I called the used car dealer the next morning told him what happened ,an he tried to tell me it just needs new break pads and breaks bleed !. I replied back to him that breaks dont go from working 1 minute an the next minute to the floor,an i mentioned before the pads are that gone i would of heard a metal rubbing sound,he still insisted i take it to his mechanic which still put pads on an bleed the breaks,which didnt fix,after i came an to get it i asked if it was the master break cylinder or booster,an he replyed that he just had to put pads on it an bleed the breaks,.an he suppose to be a mechanic i thought to myself,and he said its ready to go,so i did a couple blocks an the breaks were the same ,so i went back tellig him that the breaks are still going to the floor so he says he asked to drive it he did an came back said its ok now,that i just need to pump the breaks on it because it had abs break system that needed pumped up awhile.thats when i said like im going to have time to pump breaks when someone pulls in front of me or stops fast! so i left again praying the break peddle would stop going allmost to the floor! a week later i called the dealer again an he told me take back to his mechanic,so i did an when i returned to pick car up i asked what it was he tells me he put a new break booster on it.an that just fixed breaks enough to have a half of peddle on breaking,about two months later i was driving in a 35mph zone hit bump breaks went out,and again 3 x'
While driving on light snow covered road the brakes would not stop the car. The brake pedal became very soft and had to pushed to the floor to stop the car.it continued for many more minutes before regaining pressure. Took it to the dealer and they said it was the brake booster and master cylinder, $1500 later still having issues.
When attempting to brake weather on highway/gravel/city streets or bumps this vehicles brakes are not working properly. They are very soft to push as if there was air in lines,you always have the brake peddel to the floor to stop and pray that you do stop.i have spent $$$ trying to fix this problem... One day im not goingto stop in time my kids or myself and anyone kr anuthing involved is going to be hurt. This problem is worse if the road is wet but it is still a constant problem on an every day basis. I have had workers from ford and other shopes tell me i needto get it fixed, as i have tried and spent $400+ and still wont fix it. I have been doing research and seemslike it is the abs module from other complaints.
I bought my 2008 ford fusion sel (v-6) from the local ford dealer in 2009 - the car spent the first year of its life as a rental car. I just watched a feature on cnn about ford fusions brakes failing on occasion. Several times since i've owned my fusion, the brakes have failed when pulling head-on into a parking spot - never has this happened during a routine straight-on stop. When this happens, the engine also revs up, making stopping even more difficult. The car lurches 2 to 3 feet before coming to a stop. I have attributed (guessed) the problem to be the brake pedal going down too far causing my overlapping shoe to contact the accelerator pedal (the two pedals are very close to each other). I'm 75 years old and have been driving for 64 years and i have never encountered a problem like this with any vehicle; i've become very apprehensive when driving my fusion because of this random problem. My fusion is also under a takata air bag recall - i received a letter several months ago from ford, but have heard nothing since.
After a hard braking that engaged the abs, the brake pedal felt soft afterwards.braking is still possible, bit the pedal travels farther until the brakes start to engage and feels mushy between theprevious braking position of the pedal and the new position where the brakes now engage. It feels as if a valve in the hcu/abs brake control module is stuck in an open or half open position (i.e. More fluid is required to fill all paths before sufficient pressure builds up to the brakes).dealership checked everything out and couldn't find the core issue, pedal is still mushy after having the brake system beld by them.
After abs engaged the brake pedal is now very soft and requires that the pedal to be pushed completely tofloor. Approx 3months ago new brake pads and at least 2 rotors were replaced as well as the brake fluid was flushed. So i know that the brake system was in good shape at that time.
The car lost braking power. When the abs brakes engaged, i had to push the brake pedal all the way down to get them to engage. My mechanic replaced the master cylinder initially. This fixed the problem temporarily, but later, again when the abs engaged, the pedal got spongy and the pedal had to go all the way to the floor to brake. Then, my mechanic found that this was a known defect and replaced the abs control module, costing me > $1,000. The part cost $805. This problem should be recalled.
Once my antilock brakes kicked in this winter, my brake pedal never went back to normal. It is very mushy and sometimes when going slowly down a small incline (i.e. Exiting a parking lot), or over rough roads, it is hard to brake. In 2015 the exact same thing happened - my abs system kicked in once during winter and my brakes were mushy. Except that time, carx did a free brake examination, couldn't find the problem but when i got the car back. The brake pedal was firm again. This time, in 2017 i took to ford dealership and so far, they have no idea what is wrong with it. Carx thinks i need a whole new hydraulic cylinder unit for abs and/or master cylinder.
Brake pedal gets "soft" and requires significantly more travel to activate brakes.especially in an emergency situation.at least 2 accidents have occurred because of this.furthermore we have taken the car to a dealer and an independent repair facility but they could not fix the issue
I was slowing to turn into the driveway of my work, when all of the sudden i felt kind of a popping sensation in the braking and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I had already driven around that morning with no issues, problems or incidents. I called my mechanic and slowly drove the car to the shop, where the brake pedal continued to go all the way to the floor and it was very difficult to get my car to stop.the mechanic inspected and per their report: "there are no visible brake fluid leaks present at this time. A thorough visual inspection was performed on the entire braking system including brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, clips, screws, abs control module, electronics etc. 2- upon further investigation it was also determined that this complaint is becoming more common with ford fusion owners (see safecar.gov) and after reviewing identifix there appears to be a equal amount of failures between the master cylinder and no abs malfunction error codes and not being able to duplicate the clients complaint during a extended road test."when i picked up my car the afternoon after taking it to the shop, the brakes were very hard at first application and then they went back to normal.
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.

The local dealer paducah ford located at (3476 park ave, paducah, ky 42001) was contacted and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had experienced a failure. The failure mileage was 200,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Why isn't there a recall on the brakes and transmission, our brake pedal went all the way down to the floor on a few occasions, then it seemed fine, and it would happen again, there have been numerous complaints on this issue, we had to pay $2,700 tohave ford fix it, and the transmission jumps, when you step on the gas the car lurches and this is going to cost a lot of money that we don'thave.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated the while her daughter was driving at various speeds, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard however, the vehicle was slow to respond which extended the stopping distance. There were no warning lights illuminated.the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

Abs hydraulic control unit, i had gotten rear ended in october 2016 as i was turning into my housing complex and i hit the brakes after i was hit and the pedal had gone completely to the floor and i had lost brake pressure and it was difficult to stop. I took it into a reputable repair shop and they said there was no issue with my brakes and now they are only getting worse and with the research that i have been doing it seems that this is a pretty common issue with ford fusions and ford is not doing a recall for this $600 part. This is an extremely important part of a vehicle and i hope that this will be considered and ford will issue a recall so customers aren't paying thousands of dollars due to a problem with their engineering on this part.
Brakes- whenever i am driving down the road and preparing to brake, if i hit the smallest pothole or bump in the road, my brake pedal goes to the floor. This has occurred ever since the car was bought in 2013. When this occurs, there is no pressure to apply the brakes. I see this as a very dangerous issue and this needs to be addressed quickly.
I have experienced dangerous braking issues immediately following engagement of the abs system.it first happened on wet roads not too long after changing brakes (rotors/pads).a firm braking was being done, but it wasn't enough to kick in abs until going over a painted rr crossing sign on the road.the paint was slippery and caused the abs to fire and immediately it felt like the brakes went out entirely.pushing almost to the floor would stop the car and at that point they brakes felt strong.the problem went away after about 30 minutes. It happened again a second time when making a left turn.i was going a bit to fast into the turn and the road was rough.same symptoms.it's happened probably 4 or 5 times in total.once it happened making a right turn into a business.i went over a bump in the road that you normally pay no attention to (raised area where a pipe or something was dug up and replaced, then paved over).the immediate loss of pedal firmness and braking power caused me to overshoot the right side of the entrance.if a car had been exiting, i would have hit it.most of the time the problem resolves itself in a day or so, but the longest lasted about 5 days.i'm hesitant to get it fixed because the hydraulic control unit is very expensive.internet research also points out that this very common issue is being diagnosed as a failing master cylinder and many people indicate that doesn't solve the problem.as of now, this is not fixed.i drive much more cautiously, especially in slippery conditions.
Heading to work, i encountered a hard braking event which the abs reacted to, car was able to continue but the brake pedal became soft for all subsequent braking, and not able to stop the car in a satisfactory distance!!i turned around and headed home at a slow rate of speed but had to use the emergency brake to provide added stopping ability.car was parked (after trying to pump up pedal in driveway) for the day, when i returned home, there were no codes in a std. Code detector and no visible signs of fluid leaks under car or at wheels and fluid level seemed appropriate.car has about 95000 miles on it.took car for a ride after work to plan my next days troubleshooting and all seems normal?!on line search found many similar reports.
In july of this year we were on our way home from the hospital with my son who had just had surgery and we had been driving on a very uneven and bumpy highway and when my husband went to push on the brakes so that we could get on the interstate, it was as if we had no brakes. The pedal went to the floor and there was nothing. After a constant pumping motion the brakes came back but very squishy and soft. We made a couple attempts up and down the road before getting on the interstate because that was the only way to get back home and as long as you pumped the brakes a few times they would work. You just could not push on them and expect to stop. My brakes have not been the same since. Still on occasion soft and squishy but workable as long as you pump them. This is extremely unsafe and after reading this article: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ford-motor-recall-iduskbn14g1ari felt it was important to inform you of this incident. All i can think about is that if it weren't for the quick thinking of my husband we would have been in a car accident that day. You can not just have something like your brakes not work because you hit a bump. It's unacceptable and incredibly dangerous.
Brake pedal went to floor randomly, causing car to not stop accurately. Took it to shop found valve sticking in abs module
This vehicle is subject to a brake system recall from 12/2019 and as of today 2/8/2021 there still is no timeline on repair. This brake failure is a major safety issue and additionally has affected the ability for me to sell or trade in the vehicle due to diminished value and concerns over liability for selling a vehicle with an open brake system recall. The brakes continue to fail intermittently, with pedal travel to the floor often when braking on a rough surface.
It was slippery out.i was going about 15 mph and headed to stop at a stop sign.the abs engaged.after this happened, there was no pressure left in the pedal - it went nearly to the floor each time i had to stop.i was so scared that i might not stop all the way, for my whole trip home - 20 miles - with the snow getting worse and my son in the car.we were both terrified.seems fine now, but i ended up taking the car to a mechanic, who looked through the whole system and couldn't find anything. This was a $100 cost for inspection....
Abs light is on with soft braking.
The brakes on this car are very soft due to a defective abs stuck valve. The soft and spongy brake pedal is all the time unless their pumped a few times.
The brake pedal intermittently requires much more travel to engage a normal braking effort.the vehicle was stopping at a stop sign, with a right turn imminent.the vehicle was able to come to a safe stop, but this condition could make avoiding an accident difficult or impossible if aggressive braking is required and not available, or gives the driver the sensation that braking is not occurring normally.this happens several times over the course of a month.
Received a noticed for recall on hcu and brakes in late 2019, stating that parts would be available in early 2020. I was approaching the red light when i applied the brakes and they were depressed fully and the car began rumbling but was not stopping at all. The conditions were slightly wet, humid, and cold. I called ford to ask about the parts and they stated that the most information they have now is that parts would be available sometime in the first quarter of 2021. I believe ford is being reckless with people's lives due this very late delay in getting the proper parts out. Even the recall stated that the hcu may be replaced at the discretion of the mechanic, so even when the parts are available, ford may still not repair the vehicle correctly. What a shame.
The first time this happened i was sliding into traffic due to icy conditions. After hitting the brakes hard and engaging the abs system the brakes became spongey and went to the floor.this happened again after having to hit the brakes hard again and this time we were on an interstate.my mechanic has replaced the master cylinder, brakes, and adjusted them. After this happening several times my mechanic researched it to find the the abs modules on this model are faulty.this has happened 4 times in the last year.this is a very dangerous and expensive defect on this automobile.after searching online i have read several complaints with this model and the same defect has been noted.
Brake pedal goes to the floor board and brakes don't work intermittently.this happens when trying to brake suddenly.
On three occasions, 10/6/12, 6/23/14, and 1/3/15 our ford fusion 2008 has experienced an issue with braking.in all three occurrences the problem has identical or nearly identical.they occurred following an anti-lock braking system activation at speeds between 25 and 40mph.the first two were in dry weather when braking while going over a pothole and the third was while driving on snow covered pavement.after the abs activated, the brake pedal lost almost all pressure and would go to the floor before braking would initiate.braking distance was substantially increased immediately.in both of the first two cases, the car was taking in for diagnosis and repair, however the issue was not able to be replicated.in both of the first two cases, the problem seemed to resolve itself within a few days.i am concerned with the increasing frequency as well as the number of similar complaints that are very similar to my experience and i urge additional investigation to prevent damage to property or loss of life.
When braking, the pedal may initially require little movement to slow down but may suddenly stop braking and the pedal will drop to nearly full travel before brakes start working again, and then sometimes at that point brake hard.other times, if braking hard enough on the slippery surface, the abs will kick in, but afterwards the pedal will become very soft and ineffective. Sometimes, turning off the car and restarting will "reset" the brakes, but not always.also, some days without explanations the pedal is softer than other times. There is not a consistent amount of travel required for the same braking.the vehicle shows no error codes at any of these times.the pedal going soft for no reason without an abs event happened today so i will enter today as the day this happened, but these issues have been happening often for the last few years.
Soft pedal, goes almost to the floor, hydraulic control unit has been changed, brakes have been bleed manually and power bleed. Common issue ford knows about involving 2007 and 2008 ford fusions. Already called ford and complained. Very costly fix for the consumer $950 part. The vehicle was in motion when it occurred. It also did it when hitting a bump and the abs turned on, the pedal remained soft, no abs light or brake lights on.
Driving in wet conditions on side road, was slowing down for red light and abs kicked in and slid a little and brakes went soft after.was able to pump brakes and they went back to normal.a few months later in wet conditions again on side road trying to stop, abs kicked in and brakes went soft.they never returned to normal and would have to press brakes all the way down to engage braking.they had been soft ever since.took in to ford dealership and they had to replace the hcu system and then they were back to normal.
After abs event, brake pedal is now low. Shop checked for leaks, air, and master cylinder health and everything was fine. The hydraulic control unit seems to be the only other explanation. Car does stop but barely.
Ford brakes:whenever you hit a bump in the road, the brakes catch air and they do not work!
Brakes lose pressure after abs event.has happened multiple times.ford dealer was not able to fix.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated the brake pedal was pumped several times in order to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that no waring lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be duplicated but brake fluid was added. The contact mentioned that the failure still persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The vin was not available.
Brakes gone soft.has bad abs hydraulic control unit
I believe my brakes are apart of recall i just saw on wghp fox news. My brakes go to the floor.
While approaching a red traffic signal i hit a pot hole while braking and the brake pedal went almost to the floor causing me to narrowly miss getting broadside by cross traffic. This event has happened 3 times in the past year.
Was driving and as i went around a corner, the brake pedal (which was slightly depressed) went completely to the floor.lost all pressure. I pulled into a parking lot.turned car off and back on.gradually pressure resumed.drove another day or so and it happened again while i was going straight.i went to the dealer.had my master cylinder, brakes, rotors, and brake booster all replaced.that was the beginning of september.now in december, it is happening again.
Slight rain, 35 mph, hit brakes to make a right hand turn from clifton road to davis ford rd.brake failed,i could not make it onto either my new road nor remain in my old road.i managed to drive between the open gates of a cemetery at the intersection.the very rough terrain (massive pothole and clay/gravel surface helped me slow.i did have some breaking power at the very bottom of my pedal's reach, but i had no response where my brakes had been working before.i have since read that brake failure due to abs malfunction in common for this model.people can die at 35 mph, i am extremely lucky i had some place to go that did not involve one of the two light poles, a gate post, or a ditch.
Brake pedal goes to floor had new brakes all the way around new master clinder had system bleed 4 times keeps coming back after abs kicksvery danerous please help
There seems to be an open recall concerning the braking system. From your description parts to fix the problem should have been available first quarter 2020. It's now december. Seems like ford is taking too long to fix this issue.
I was driving down my street getting ready to pull into the driveway and when i went to slow down i hit a pot hole or something and when i hit my brakes to slow down the pedal went all the way to the floor and i almost hit a car parked on the street. I noticed that just recently you guys have been getting other complaints about similar issues so i thought i might as well make it another one. Thanks.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor after abs system triggers, brakes get extremely soft and take weeks to return to normal usually after having to force a hard stop.i've taken it to ford service and they could not recreate the problem, they gave me list of repairs.recently, a mechanic attempted to fix it but still didn't fix the spongy/soft brake petal.see attachments of repairs and ford service's explanation.please do a recall this is a safety issue now.

After engaging the abs on light snow, my brakes became spongy. Couple of inches of play on the brake pedal before it would engage
Road conditions were wet at approx. 8a wednesday 12/1/2016. There was no active precipitation. Traffic was moderate. Vehicle was in use approx. 10 min. In motion along west beltline highway 12/14 when entering the exit ramp for gammon road 43.053038, -89.507010, brakes were applied to decelerate the breaks from the posted speed limit of 55 mph. There was an abs event while vehicle was decelerating, there was a feeling through the foot of push back/wobble/fluttering on the brake pedal. It was realized the vehicle was not braking at the normal rate as this route is used daily/regularly. The brake pedal was depressed by foot to the floor of the vehicle. Attempted to pump the brake, but it was malfunctioning/not responding. The vehicle was coming to a red traffic light where it is known that there may be heavy passing traffic periodically. Attempts to return braking to functioning state were unsuccessful. Vehicle proceeded through the red traffic light, fortunately there were no other vehicles in the 3 lanes of traffic that would normally be in motion; was not congested; there were no vehicles traveling south bound at that time. The vehicle entering the "t" intersection, ended up in the middle lane, turning right, surroundings were clear of traffic, no injuries or collisions to report. Pulledvehicle to right-side of road/bike path, vehicle did stop, but with the brake pedal depressed to the floor. Drove vehicle slowly with hazard lights engaged. Drove approx. 1 mile, very carefully to a parking lot, where vehicle was parked, engine turned off. Waited approx. 90 seconds, restarted the engine, depressing the brake pedal, still to the floor. Drove vehicle carefully to destination, applying hazard lights when necessary, keeping safe distance/speed. Vehicle towed to ford dealership. Informed by ford, hydraulic control unit needed replacement. High potential for injury/death
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 50 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop.the contact engaged the emergency brake and shifted the vehicle into neutral, but the vehicle still failed to stop until it crashed into a street sign. The air bags deployed. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.
Brake pedal goes almost all the way to floor, and is spongy. Car does not stop as well as it should. Have had rotors, calipers, brake pads and fluid changed. Did google search and found this a very common issue with ford fusions. The issue is the abs module and pump. A valve inside gets stuck open and when brakes are applied, the fluid just recirculates inside the module, and brakes lose effectiveness.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor after abs system triggers, brakes get extremely soft and take weeks to return to normal usually after having to force a hard stop.
After an abs braking event the brakes become soft and hit floor, greatly increasing the stopping distance and force needed to break and slow down and stop the car.this is the same issue as the current investigation "pe 16-017"
Pedal goes to the floor when an abs brake incident occurs like a wet road or snow or sudden stop.turns out the abs pump unit was defective.this is well documented on the internet of other people having same issue.the problem is often misdiagnosed and the abs pump unit is the faulty item which can lead to a dangerous accident.had several occasions where the pedal went to the floor
After the abs engages, the brakes are extremely soft and havedangerously more pedal travel before braking occurs.pumping the brakes helps, but the problem persists for days before returning to normal pedal travel and braking.also it does not appear the the abs system can engage again until after normal pedal travel and braking resumes.
After an abs event, i noticed my brake pedal went soft and almost to the floor.i am able to "pump" the brakes and will get some pedal back but after a few seconds of driving, the pedal is soft again.the brakes and braking system has been checked by the dealership. Main complain: brake pedal going soft, takes longer distance to stop on all road surfaces.
Multiple ford dealerships have rejected to fix/or settle my recalled issue on my brakes and ive been in just misses just about every time i push the brake pedel due to you gotta push the peddle down to the floor just to stop otherwise it wont stop the car without hitting someone... Nhtsa campaign id: 19v904000 the issue has only been getting worse since ive owened the car.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake booster and master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,578.
My state auto registration included a recall from 12/19/2019. When i went to get further details from https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls it said ford is working on a fix?? this is from over a year ago - is there a repair available or not? thank you
The abs system engaged while travelling down the road and hit a pot hole. Ever since this situation i have had very soft brakes. You almost have to push the brake pedal to the floor in order to get the brakes to fully engage and stop the vehicle. Brakes have been serviced and we have come to the conclusion the abs module is the component that needs replaced. The valves are stuck open and fluid is bypassing which is causing the issue.
I a mail related to an importantsafety recall. There is a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-locking braking system that is stuck open. And this problem is more noticeable during a rainy day or winter periods. I really have to drive very very slowly for the brakes to operate well. I also planned to sell off the car but because of the condition i did not want to risk life for someone else. Before the safety recall mail itook the vehicle to mechanics to solve the problem they failed because they did not know where the problem was. But now that i know what the problem is and ford company had promised to solve the problem by the end of the first quarter of 2020 but now we are almost in the last quarter of 2020, i don't know if they gave up on their promise.
The anti lock breaking system does not work correctly. When there is a snow covered road and no traction the brakes engage and you can feel the anti lock engage however they then have a soft pedal from that point forward.. The anti lock system does not go back to working correctly.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving and depressing the brake pedal to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to stop causing the distance to be extended. The contact stated that she had to shift into neutral to bring the vehicle to a stop. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called jack kissee ford (760 s lynn riggs blvd, claremore, ok 74017) where it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Abs went off in the rain and pedal pressure never went back to normal. I have to push the brakes all the way to the floor.
Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Driving on the street about 25-30 miles per hour when brake was pressed and it went all the way to the floor with no warning or lights popping up. Took the car to the dealer where they diagnosed it with the need for the master cylinder to be replaced, calipers serviced and system bleed. That did not solve the problem and i left with an unsafe vehicle and with my 2 year old son in the vehicle. Took the car back and after 5 days they told us that we need a new hydraulic control unit. The cost for the repairs is over $2000. Manufacturer was made aware of the issue since there are other customers complaining about the same issue and they have the exact same vehicle. A recall is needed for this issued since it's unsafe and someone can get hurt without any signs. Manufacturer is not taking any responsibility for the cost of the repairs since there are no open recalls or warranties.
Problem started in february. Anytime brakes got wet or i hit the smallest of bumps the brakes wouldn't work. Had to push the pedal all the way to the floor to get it to stop. This happens every time it rains or i hit a bump including speed bumps. I can be in a parkin lot going slow or on the highway driving normal. This has happened multiple times now over the past several months
While driving the vehicle and needing to come to a stop the brake pedal is soft and goes striaght to the floor.we have had the brakes checked and all the fluid and those are fine.i have been told that it could be the master cylinder but probably the hydraulic cylinder unit.the dash by the passanger air bag is lifting from the dashboard.i have seen many of the same exact post for both issues.a recall needs to be made on these parts before someone seriously gets hurt.this is unexceptable that ford is not taking car of these issues.there is obviously a serious problem with as many people that are reporting the same exact issues that my car is experiencing.take this serious please, submit through recalls so people don't have to die or get seriously hurt in an accident to get your attention.
Brakes are spongy and intermittently do workat all ..have replaced calipers twice and bled the lines only to have the same problem.air bag on passengers side is coming apart in dash. Drivers side door handle snapped and the doors lock themselves even with key in ignition running.looking online i see that many have had the same issues.
Took car in several times because brake pedal went all the way to the floor for it to stop. Dealership stated it was the rear brakes, replaced them. Problem still exist. Took back a couple mos later, dealership stated front brakes & rotors, fixed. Problem still exist. Took car back again, dealership stated master cylinder needs to be replaced. Replaced it. Took back again, now they state it's the hydraulic control unit in the abs system. Need to press brake pedal to the floor to stop.
Brake pedal is soft after abs event.abs pump has stuck valve and needs to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the braking system malfunctioned and would not immediately stop the vehicle causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash no injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was later towed to the home. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer liberty ford located at6600 pearl rd, parma heights, oh 44130 was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in the nhtsa campaign number 19v904000(braking system ) but the parts to remedy the defect were not available. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 117,000.
Vehicle was taken in april 2021 to perform safety recall on abs control unit. I asked to have the unit replaced as i thought it was defective after 6 years of brake pedal going to floor during anti lock brake events. Ford dealership stated that recall only called for fluids to be flushed and unit tested for pass/fail. At time of recall repair the unit passed. Abs control module replacement units available at this time.july 2021, 1300 miles since recall repair i was driving vehicle in the rain, pressed on brake. Brake pedal went to floor again. Took vehicle back into service to have inspected. Ford service center said they preformed the recall repair as they were required to and now it is my responsibility to replace the defective part. Abs control module backordered until at least oct 2021. Currently 600th in line.this is the scariest safety issue i have ever seen in any vehicle on the road. The inability to brake when needed especially in adverse conditions such as rain or hitting a minor bump in the road, triggering the abs unit and the valve getting stuck open for periods of time consisting of weeks and months without brake pressure. Not only is it unsafe for the most experienced driver to use the vehicle, i also cannot morally sell this vehicle to someone else as i know how likely they could crash resulting in serious injury. Ford corporate unhelpful, ford dealer service center knows of issue and that its defective but cant replace it under recall without corporate approval.
I was braking when i caught a pot hole and the brake pedal went to the floor. Since then the brake pedal is soft and will randomly go to the floor. I took it to a ford dealer and they tried replacing the rear rotors and pads and flushing the fluid but it did not work. I took it back and they ended up replacing the hydraulic control unit with a used one. It still doesn't feel right but it's better than it was.
Break pedal periodically goes to the floor on wet or uneven pedal. Loss of breaking. Soft pedal
While driving my car the brake pedal goes all the way down to the floor, i have a small child and i am afraid the brakes won't work, i see that a lot of people have had the same problem on the computer, i took my car back to ford and they said they know that this is happening but it will cost me $2,000, i am a senior i don't have it, help.
While driving on a pot hold or cracked street the brakes seem to shake and either become loose or go to the floor as the car is in motion it's difficult to stop. Also starting to notice that the brakes ehen pushed all the way are not allowing the car to come to a complete stop without hitting any rough streets. I have had the vehicle from jan 2015 till now july 2017 and this issue has happened to me multiple times approximately 8 to 10 times. Most recent brake issue was today 7/7/17 driving 10mph and my mileage is at 127,000 miles
After having to use the abs to stop my car, the brake pedal became soft when i tried to stop again.this has happened to me on two separate occasions.
I recieved a letter in the mail that the car was being recalled.what i have noticed when i steped on the brake, it would make a rumbling noie, or viberation.thats about it.i did stop at one of the ford dealers to have it checked but they were so busy , i needed to get home.vechile was in motion,city streets & highways & i was braking the car to slow down or stop.that is it..i can't give you a date, because i didn'tknow there was anything wrong with the car till i recieved the recallprobably sometime in 2019!
After going over a set of rail road tracks my breaks would go all the way tot the floor. I would not have any breaks for like 45 seconds and im like trying yo stop and nothing until i keep pumping. It's happened twice now and i go slow over the tracks.
Brakes failed, went all the way to the floor. Had to put the car into first gear, pull over to the emergency lane, and pump madly to get brakes to finally stop the car. This is the third time it happened, and by far the worst incident. Had to pay ford dealer $1688.00 for new master cylinder and new hcu. Went online to see if there was a recall. So far, none. But scores of other complaints on several web sites describe the same situation, same cost to repair.
This vehicle modelhas a faulty hcu for the abs brakes that fails consistently. It has failed on me and many people who own the same vehicle. Make ford responsible and have them issue a recall on this now before people are killed by the brake failure resulting in lawsuits against ford and thenhtsa for failing to do their job
After braking harder than a normal easy stop, the brake pedal went very low - to the point where it was difficult to brake without applying a lot of pressure.we took it to a mechanic who looked over the braking system and found nothing wrong.after this the braking was normal. This occurred on october 3, 2016.it happened again on december 20, 2016.we took it back to the mechanic and once again they could not find anything wrong, and again the braking was normal when we got the car back.we then heard on the news of an investigation into the ford fusion of our model year for what sounded exactly like what we experienced, and decided to report our experience to you.
My brake master cylinder was replaced in june 2017. Just had the power booster replaced on may 4, 2018.it is now having the same problem as on may 4th - brakes going all the way down, have to pump brakes in order to stop. I was traveling from oceanside ca to scottsdale az on may 4th and just around town today, may 22 here in oceanside.
2008 ford fusionabout 18 months ago i had to brake hard at freeway speed to avoid hitting an animal, resulting in activation of the abs system.immediately afterward the brake pedal became very mushy, requiring pumping of the brake pedal in order to restore a firm pedal.i took it to my mechanic who replaced the master cylinder. This seemed to fix the problem.then last week the same thing happened again; i had to brake hard on a rainy freeway going freeway speeds, again activating the abs system.immediately afterwards the brake pedal became soft requiring pumping of the brakes to temporarily restore a firm pedal.this works once, but after releasing the brake pedal it becomes mushy again.the brake fluid level is good and there are no external brake fluid leaks.
During adverse weather conditions, such as icy or wet, if i hit a bump or pothole, or take a sharp turn sometimes the abs does not kick in and my brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and the car barely slows down to a stop.if i pump my brakes during this they will work again.this happens intermittently and not every time but when it does i have very little braking power.i have had my vehicle at the ford moses in st. Albans wv twice and it sits there now.according to complaints and other private mechanics it is my hcu but ford will not replace because they cannot duplicate the brake failure.it cannot be duplicated because it does not happen every time.according to private mechanics and information they researched it is a valve in the hcu not operating correctly and is a factory defect in the part, however ford will not admit it is a factory defect.i have had my braking system checked by 2 private mechanics and been to ford technicians twice with rotors, brake lines, calipers, and brakes inspected, removed and put back on, calipers replaced, brake lines bled, and still having the same issue.i have nothing to upload because the car is sitting at the ford service department because it is not safe to drive.the problem has occurred while exiting the interstate at 25-35mph, on the interstate at higher speeds, pulling into a parking lot, and pulling into a side street at low speeds, as well as when hitting potholes or bumps in the roads and parking lots but all instances the pavement was wet and my abs should have engaged and failed to.
I tried to stop a little faster than normal and had to put my brake pedal to the floor. Once i did that, my brakes continued to only work pressing all the way dow or by pumping them to build pressure. This went on about 24 hours before they went back to normal. This has happened a few times in the short month i have had this car. Reading complaints on line for this same problem tells me there is no fix. This is not safe not knowing when your brakes aren't going to work when you need them to. No liservice or and lights come on at all.
This problem has happened to me twice already. The first time, the abs brakes engaged after driving over some water on the highway. The brake pedal got soft, went down almost to the floor, and did not reset itself. I was afraid to drive with the decreased braking power. I called a ford dealer and they said they had never heard of this problem, although i could hear some snickering in the background. I told them i found forum after forum online of other fusion owners complaining of the very same thing. They could only offer an appointment in 2.5 weeks to take a look at it. I called an independent garage and a mechanic looked at it the same day, checked a few things and added some brake fluid to the master cylinder (mc). The braking power returned. He said i would need a new mc if it happened again.a few weeks later it happened again. The abs brakes engaged after i braked to avoid a car making a surprise turn in front of me. The brake pedal went to the floor and became soft. It felt like i had no braking power at all. I had to press the brake pedal extremely hard in order to slow down or stop. I got off the highway and kept pumping the brake pedal repeatedly to get it to reset. After a few attempts, it reset itself to its normal position. I took the car to a ford dealer a few days later. They could get the abs to engage, but could not recreate the problem with the brake pedal going to the floor. They did not know what to do, and could only offer a $2000 "fix" they would not guarantee. I did not take them up on their offer, and they did not believe changing the master cylinder would correct the problem.the problem could occur again any time the abs is activated.
Extended braking distance #ea18002 issue.my 2008 ford fusion's abs system is causing the brake pedal to go to the floor.horne freedom ford in safford arizonia diagnosed the problem as a bad master cylinder when i specifically discussed the abs hydralic control with them before the diagnosis.the master cylinder was replaced and then the brake power booster based on freedom ford's diagnosis.the brake pedal still had problems and shows the manufacturer is not capable of reliably testing and repairing the abs module on my 2008 ford fusion.this is a crititcal failure of ford and dealers to diagnose and fix a safety defect in the abs hydraulic control unit.
I was driving down a side street on a monday night. It had snowed on saturday and there had been some thawing and icing.i came to a stop sign and when i applied the brakes the anti-lock brakes engaged.after that the brakes lost their pressure making braking more difficult.i definitely could not stop fast if i needed too making it a dangerous situation.this is exactly what happened in august of 2015 as well.i drove the 1/2 mile to my house and decided i would take it to a ford dealership the next day.unfortunately on my way there the brakes once again engaged therefore, not showing up on any test.again, just like in august.i have many concerns with this problem, i do not feel comfortable driving people in my vehicle, people who know i have a problem do not want me to drive them and then there's my daughter who i will not allow to drive the car. I would not want to sell the car knowing that whoever purchased it would be caught off guard because they would be unaware of the problems that seem to be happening to others as well, but yet there is no recall! go figure that nothing will be done until someone (a child) is killed due to greed! go to the following links for more of the same complaints: http://www.aboutautomobile.com & http://fordproblem.com/2008-ford-fusion-service-brakes-problems-defects//complaint/2008/ford/fusion/hydraulic+brake
I took the car in for inspection. As part of the inspection, the mechanic performed a braking test where he drove the car slammed on the brakes hard. Following their doing this, the brakes are mushy and the brake pedal had to be pushed to the floor to get the car to stop.
Received recall on abs system, valve sticking open. A couple of days later the car was in an accident, brakes locked up and abc did not seem to function.now brakes have a lot of travel and unsure if car is safe to drive.ford said they will not have the parts until end of first quarter.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle drove over a pothole and the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal however, the brake pedal went to the floor. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred twice. 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 northside ford (12300 san pedro ave, san antonio, tx 78216; (210) 319-5734) where it was confirmed that parts were 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 failure mileage was approximately 37,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
After purchasing our fusion, the brake pedal seemed very soft. We put new brakes on it but this did not remedy the problem.when driving the pedal goes almost to the floor and sudden stops are not an option! we were told by a serviceman it was most likely the "sensor or brain" of the braking system and that this was a common problem with this make of cars.
My brake pedal goes to the floor when the abs engages making it almost impossible to stop at a safe distance. If you manage to stop the car & pump the brakes many times, the brake pedal is hard gain allowing you to stop. However the next time the abs engages the pedal softens & goes to the floor again.the vehicle was in motion on a city street. A friend with the same vehicle had a similar problem. See nhsta number 10876335.
Brake failure over bumps or slippery surfaces.abs triggers and lose brake functionality. Pedal goes soft and goes all the way to the floor.
Brake pedal went soft after driving over pot hole in summerof 2015.did online research that pointed to the abs hydralic control unit. Ford dealer replaced brake master cylinder and i had marginal improvement. Few months later went to a snowy empty parking and activated the abs doing a quick stop. Brake pedal which wasn't very firm after master cylinder replacement got very soft. Took it back to ford who replaced the abs hcu. Brake pedal returned to normal firmness. Ford has revised this part which i had fail. It's the abs hcu which has a valve stick open. Go to you tube and search fordtechmacaluso soft fusion brake pedal who describes this same problem.
A recall was issued for our 2008 for fusion concerning the abs system. This recal is nhtsa 19v904. We have recieved postcards from ford motor company concerningthis critical defect in the brake system numerous times in the past 2 years, this problem has not been resolved and i feel the car may me unsafe to drive daily.the master cylinder has been replaced to try and remedy this problem over 2 years ago.still, brake travel and fluid has lost pressure many times since while driving. The local dealer , nor ford motor company,will not comment on the recall nor the repair that is needed and estimated time this will be.
While making a moving left turn that had a dip in the road ,while braking for the turn ,the brake pedal went to almost floor on all subsequent braking. This had happened before temporarily after going over a bump while braking. At this time the car will stop with brake almost all the way down ,but doesn't feel safe at all .being i've heard through the news & complaints that this may be a common occurrence and is being investigated ,i felt i should also register a complaint so hopefully there will be a recall before someone gets injured.
My vehicle was in a accident involving a frontal crash of both vehicles in joliet and my airbags didn't deploy. I have since had my vehicle repaired by ford recall of the airbags and now i have had to replace my brakes at least twice a year when i only travel locally with my car.
In may, my car lost nearly all brake pressure after i had to make an abrupt stop to avoid a collision. I was traveling straight on a paved road when i engaged in the abrupt stop at an approximate speed of 45 mph. This issue had occurred in the past as well, but within the next 1-2 times i drove my car the brake pressure would return. This time it did not. When i took my car to a local brake mechanic shop,. I was initially told that i needed a new master cylinder. When i took the car in to have the master cylinder replaced the mechanic told me that upon further review he was able to tell that the master cylinder in the brakes is not the issue, and he's restored brake pressure to the system; however, once the abs system was engaged the "soft" brakes returned. The mechanic further noted that his belief is that the abs module has failed.
The car has had a complete and total failure of the break system. The break pedal depresses all the way until it contacts the floor and the vehicle barely comes to a stop. Ever since it hasfirst happened, it has not returned to its original state. The firs time it happened the vehicle was in motion about 30mph in the city.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while attempting to have the vehicle repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic), the vehicle was taken to flood ford of narragansett (21 woodruff ave, narragansett, ri 02882, (401) 515-2700) where it was diagnosed with needing the calipers to be replaced, in order to perform the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the issue. The manufacturer informed the contact that the calipers were not included in the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000. There is nothing wrong with the calipers. Therefore the cost and need to replace them should be by the manufacturer.
Driving along the freeway i had to brake suddenly and the abs system malfunctioned causing the brake pedal to drop to the floor. Replaced the master cylinder but the problem still exists and the car is dangerous to drive. The abs valve replacement is $1,200. And the car only has 60,000 miles on it. Based on research this appears to be a very common problem for ford and lincoln.i've had to part the vehicle until i can figure out the proper fix.
Vehicle brake pedal is soft and or spongy after abs engaged. Pedal travels and can cause an accident because pedal stops car later in depression.
I continue to have issues with braking on my car.basically when you press the brake pedal, the first 2/3's are useless.i continue to have to place more pressure onto the pedal to get the brakes to function.when braking driving down the road, when i press the pedal to brake, it does nothing until i get it close to the floor.i have this issue everyday, everytime i brake.this morning on 09*07*18 i placed my foot on the brake and shifted into reverse.my car started to roll out of my driveway into a city street, into traffic. I pressed the pedal totally to the floor, and barely came to a stop.this issue is becoming more and more dangerous everyday. Thank you.
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.
Second time reporting a recurrent issue.this year/model vehicle has a known issue with the hydraulic control unit (hcu), which affects braking capacity, and either is or was under an open investigation. The hcu/abs function of this vehicle can become disabled when jarred by hitting a large bump - such as a pothole - while the brake is engaged and the vehicle is still in motion. When this occurs the brake pedal becomes instantly soft, loses braking power, and travels a much further distance towards the floor. This instant decrease of brake pressure drastically increases the stopping time of the vehicle. A potentially very dangerous safety concern. The jarring of the vehicle only has a negative affect if the brake is being engaged at the time of jarring. This particular vehicle has had 3 of these braking incidences within the past 12 months. (first incident previously reported to nhtsa in dec. 2017). None of which have resulted in an accident as of yet. The pedal will remain soft for some time. It seemingly can be "reset" either randomly, or with excessive brake pumping over a substantial period of time. This so-called "reset" could just be a fortunate fluke. I have read in other reports of a similar unknown "reset" effect, until the next episode. Local ford dealerships and other independent service stations seem to be completely unaware of the issue. Often misdiagnosing the master cylinder as the problem initially. I thought i had heard or read that a replacement hcu part may have been released with a different internal lubricant substance, which would supposedly prevent the hcu valves from malfunctioning. I haven't been able to verify this. If i knew that better quality, remedied replacement parts were available, i would have this part replaced. However, i do not want to proceed with an expensive repair only to have the same recurrent issues with a faulty part.
Reference nhtsa recall number 19v904 - this recall was issued in december 2019: "on your vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock braking system may be stuck open....this may result in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop...ford is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, ford will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020."at the time of this message it has been 16 months since this recall was issued and it is now quarter 2 of 2021 and parts to fix this problem are still not available. This is especially concerning, considering that another recall was issued last month, march 2021 (nhtsa recall number 21v158: the driver airbag inflator in your vehicle may explode in the event of a crash that causes deployment of the driver airbag. If an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death.). The combination of these recalls is genuinely concerning and neither one is able to be remedied by ford at this time. Given these life-threatening safety recalls, i do not feel safe driving the vehicle. But i can't in good faith sell or donate the vehicle under this condition as it would be egregious.
Right rear caliper is locked again, evev after it was replaced. It wears the right rear brake pads while drivig. The brake pads areconstantly smoking while driving and the rotor is too hot to touch and the pedal goes to floor when the car is stopped at anytime. The vehicle is now parked, because it is too dangerous to drive. The cost of repair parts when i last checked was over $1,200.
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.
Brakes wouldn'twork causing 2000 in bodily damage to another vehicle, as well as damage to my 2008 ford fusion . The ford fusion was traveling at a rate of less than 5 miles an hour and the vehicle that was hit was stopped at a red light . I paid out of pocket. In the seven to eight years i have owned this vehicle i've had two recalls . The first was the airbag. That took ford years to replace after the initial letter went out 2015. Just this past summer of 2019, they finally replaced it. The brakes have always been spongy , also the acceleration has stucktwice, with the pedal going all the way to the floor, i was able to get it to pop out but it was very scary . I would not recommend a ford to anyone .
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. A year ago, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when it was depressed. The contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who indicated that pressure was being held within the brake system and that the brake booster may need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While attempting to stop the vehicle at a traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to operate as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal was spongy and allowed the brake pedal to travel to the floorboard before being able to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The contact stated that the failure occurred after the brakes were serviced by an independent mechanic. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and the brake lines were bled; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure occurred whenever the vehicle encountered a rough roadway. The contact stated that the abs warning indicator illuminated and the braking function would diminish. The contact stated that if the vehicle was turned off and the brake pedal was depressed several times, the vehicle could then be turned on and would operate as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
The vehicle experiences reduced brake pedal pressure when the anti-lock brake (abs) pump engages. It usually happens coming to a stop and one wheelhits a small bump and slips, more often when the road is wet. While the car can still be sufficiently stopped under this circumstance, pedal pressure is reduced and does not regenerate fully, and it takes 20-30 minutes to recover the lost pressure, and only after several instances of hard braking are performed without the abs pump engaging. Shutting off and restarting the engine does not regenerate the lost pressure. This is not the first instance of this as it has happened at least a few times before.
Brake pedal travels all the way to the floor after abs event.braking is now compromised.no trouble lights or abs codes.bled brake system, replaced all calipers and pads, problem not resolved.replaced abs pump and control module, problem resolved.

The vehicle went to an independent mechanic who determined there was air in the abs system and bled the air out. The issue recurred again with anothervehicle stopping suddenly in front and the contact's brake pedal again going all the way to the floor and a rear end collision happening. The other vehicle's passenger was injured and transported to the emergency room by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle will probably be totaled and the driver's air bag did deploy properly. Almost all of the damage was to the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The dealer and the manufacturer had not been contacted yet. The independent mechanic reviewed the repairs and verified the repairs were done properly.the contact had researched the internet and found that there were a number of complaints about the abs system with the hydraulic control unit malfunctioning by not providing an immediate stop. The vin tool found a nhtsa recall number: awaiting (brakes)the failure mileage 129,400.*dt*dtj*dt*dt*dt
Once the abs applied brake pedal can be smashed to the floor
When braking hard over a pothole on a city street, brakes are lost and pedal goes to the floor. The brakes returned but has been low and soft ever since. A mechanic suggested there's an issue with hydraulic control unit (hcu) and/or an abs valve. Also, he recommends replacing the hcu, which is over $550 for the part alone.
My wife rear ended someone. She was unable to stop. Luckily nobody was seriously injured. We have been complaining about the brakes to ford for two years. About 6 months ago ford finally acknowledged the issue which is below. The mechanic at ford in petaluma, ca said our car was unsafe to drive but they are stillllllllllll waiting on parts. It was promised 1st qtr of 2020 but that has passed. I am confident the accident would not have taken place if the brakes worked as they should. "safety riskthis may result in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brake pedal needed to be depressed excessively in order for the vehicle to stop safely. The failure was intermittent and without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed brake fluid. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,026.
My daughter drives this vehicle to get to work and she has experience a low brake pedal for nearly 2 years.the pedal is now so low that it is frightening to drive the car.the low pedal (almost to the floor) occurs at all times when braking. In january we received a recall notice from ford (ford recall number 19s54, nhtsa recall number 19v-904) notifying us of this problem and explained that ford would be providing work instructions and parts to the dealership by the end of the 1q2020.i have been calling the ford dealers in our area and all claim that ford has not issued this information to them.what is going on?my daughter is afraid to drive the car and she needs transportation.please help.
Brakes go to the floor after absengagement. Issue is intermittent and mechanics are unable to diagnose it. Vehicle is coming to a stop happens randomly under extreme and regular braking.
Abs engages when braking going over gravel, or other small bumps in the road and does not return to normal.brake pedal goes to floor, resulting in almost complete loss of brakes. Brakes do not return to normal until the car is restarted. This has happened consistently whenever the abs engages.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard but failed to effectively stop the vehicle. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated he pumped on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact was able to drive to his destination. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was informed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, he continued to experience the failure. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic and was informed the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. 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 astro ford (10350 auto mall pkwy, d'iberville, ms 39540; (228) 275-3673) and butch oustalet inc (9274 us 49, gulfport, ms 39503, (228) 863-5525) where it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 143,303. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
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.
2008 ford fusion soft brake pedal problembrake pedal goes to the floor after the abs unit engaged on slippery road. This is the 6th time this has occurred. The first time occurred at 50,000 miles. The car now has 100,000 miles. It recently snowed and the abs unit engaged and now the brake pedal has been going to the floor for the past 3 weeks.the past "soft brake pedal" events have corrected themselves after a few days or a few weeks. Currently the soft brake pedal has not corrected itself. Apparently a valve gets stuck in the abs unit and can cause this exact problem. The brake system has been checked over and everything is fine which is indicating the abs unit. The "soft pedal" only occurs after the abs unit engages and when the abs unit self corrects, then the brake pedal goes back to normal. This is an extremely dangerous situation and the braking capability of the car is severely compromised. Stopping distances are greatly increased which could cause a serious accident.one event occurred on a dry road in the middle of summer when an animal ran in front of the car. The abs unit engaged and then the brake pedal went to the floor. It took several days for the abs unit "self corrected" and the brake pedal returned to normal. The other events occurred on slick pavement.it appears that a valve may get stuck in the hydraulic unit of the abs and this causes the soft brake pedal. When the valve breaks free and returns to its normal position, then the car brakes return to normal.the abs unit is still in failure mode as of today.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. When attempting to apply the brakes, the brake pedal would drop to the floor and lock. The contact would have to press down on the brake pedal again in order for it to release and lift back up. The vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 14e028000 (equipment). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case regarding the failure. The vin was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Car has intermittently soft or spongy feeling to the brake pedal during what seems like no specific reason.master cylinder has been replaced and issue continues.bleeding the brakes doesn't cause any change and pumping the brakes only results in moderate return of the brake system.
I, and many others, have had issues with ford fusion brake problems after an abs event (as it is referred to).the vehicle is in motion and when braking and hitting a patch of ice, for example, the abs activate.the problem is that the brakes do not return to normal immediately because the abs pump valves get stuck and the brake fluid circulates.it takes time to come back to normal which is not a normal thing.we believe it should be a safety issue and that the anti-lock brake pump/control module should be recalled.if you were to google search ford fusion brake problems and or soft brake pedals, etc (regarding the fusion) you will find a lot of information. I am a ford lover and love my fusion but it is disturbing that ford refuses to recognize this as a safety recall after emails and contact with ford.i copied one link to give you an idea of the problem.this has happened multiple times in the past two years.the brakes should return to normal instantly, not after an indefinite period of time.thank you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwflkcxxzty[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Loss of break pressure.almost complete loss of break pressure after an abs event.had my breaks fully replaced, but the issue continues.i live in wisconsin, where icy roads make are common, so this is extremely dangerous.brakes will remain soft, but usually i can pump the break pedal to rebuild break pressure.
Hi im having trouble braking after my abs kicks in. My pedal sinks to the floor usually. The car is always braking different now sometimes i barely have to press it but then it sinks and losses pressure. There is no brake light or abs light on. Ive had my brake system inspected and a brake line flush. It didnt help. It seems like a real safety issue.
While driving the car the brakes are very "spongy".when trying to stop quickly i almost went through the red light on a major intersection!the pedal went practically all the way to the floor and i didn't think i was going to be able to stop.i have to prepare myself to stop when i need to and i stay a distance away from others because i am scared the brakes won't stop me!there needs to be a recall, this is so scary and unsafe to drive!
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The contact had to pump the brake pedal several times for the brakes to engage. On another occasion, the contact had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000. Updated 06/08/17*lj
I have a 2008 ford fusion, about 1 year ago brakes went to floor while driving. Almost rear ended guy in front of me. Had the car looked at several times at auto shops to be told it was abs control module. Almost a 700$part. Luckily they found a newer used one for me. Never buying ford again after this
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While depressing the brake pedal, the pedal traveled to the floorboard and caused the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake system was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Interstate ford (125 alexandersville rd, miamisburg, oh) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (brake system), but the part was not available. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 83,000.
I noticed that i was having to press the brake pedal lower and lower for my car to stop. I took my car to dunn tire for my six month tire rotation and asked them if they would check my brakes because of the problem mentioned. They rotated the tires but said my car was not safe to drive because of the brakes. I had to leave it there and they got me a ride home. They said the master cylinder needed to be replaced so they had my car from friday to monday. I was not expecting to have to pay $499.69, but did so that i could get my car back. When i returned for my car i was told me that the master cylinder was leaking fluid. They replaced the cylinder and performed the procedure multiple times to bleed the brake system. Pedal is better and vehicle stops, but is still not as hard as is should/could be. They recommended taking car to dealer for further diagnosis into the abs module or booster. When they told me the approximate cost, i could not do it as i am on a fixed income. I heard about the recall the other day on tv and went to this site to see if my car was affected by the recall. It is. I have limited my driving especially in inclement weather because i'm afraid there might be a braking problem or worse. I am very concerned that my brakes might go out at any time.
December of 2016: while lightly pushing on the brake pedal as i approached a stop sign in snowy weather, i lost my brakes. The rural intersection had a slight incline with no turns, and i first applied the brakes at around 15 m.p.h. There was no sensation (by feel or audible) that my abs had activated and the brake pedal felt soft. Pushing harder on the pedal had no effect, and i ended up gliding right through the stop sign. I didn't think anything of it until it happened again a few days later. I have never had any brake issues on this vehicle besides normal wear and tear. I had a rear caliper replaced in 2014, front brake pads and rotors were replaced in 2015. I recently saw on the news that 2007-09 ford fusions were being investigated for brake failure issues.
When braking on a steep hill at 20+mph, brakes become soft and require pushing the pedal to the floor to bring car to complete stop. Problem seems to fix itself after some time before reoccurring later after new braking.
Brakes go to the floor when the anti lock brakes come on and car keeps on going..same complaint others are having. Has happened a few times
Brakes go mushy if stopping on rough surface, straight line, no ice or snow. Spongy pedal remains until car is driven for awhile.
While driving around a corner i pressed on the brake pedal, heard a snap or pop sound and immediately the brake pedal became soft and moved towards the floor. Braking power was reduced and abs appeared to not function (no clicking sound). Since this event my brakes have not recovered and i still have soft brakes with reduced braking power. To work properly i need to pump the brakes to restore temporarily the pressure. This was the 3rd time this has happened to me in the last 6 months. The past two times the brakes returned to normal use after a day or so. In the previous two instances i experienced the same result but the intitiation was slightly different. 1st incident was caused by stopping on wet pavement. The abs started to engaged and then seemed to disengage...result soft brakes for a day. The 2nd incident was intitated by slowing down for a stop sign and hitting a small bump in the road which caused the brake pedal to go to the floor and soft brakes for a day. I am seeing many people with the same issue on the internet boards but appears there is no known solution only expensive repairs that do not solve the issue. See this link for more complaints: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2008/ford/fusion/hydraulic+brake.
After each time the anti-lock brakes engage the brake pedal feel becomes soft.this issue has been occurring intermittently over the past 3 years. The pedal feel stays soft for days, slowly returning to normal.the car will still stop, however, during these times, just to slow my car, the pedal must be pushed almost to the floor with substantially more force than normal.
In november 2015 i took my 2008 ford fusion to a mechanic because the brake pedal went soft. As i recall, i hit a regular ole pot hole and the brakes were non-existent until i pushed the pedal all the way to the floor. When i took it to the mechanic, he said there was power steering in my master cylinder, and that i needed my master cylinder replaced. I allowed him to do so and the brakes were working properly again. In december of 2015 i was pulling into ted's hotdogs and the pedal went soft, again. I took it back to the same mechanic and he noticed the soft pedal. After bleeding out the brakes the brakes returned to working properly. He said he saw nothing wrong with it and called it, "weird."when i picked it up everything was working fine. January 13th, 2016 i was returning home. There was snow on the ground and i was making a left turn onto my street. The brake pedal went soft again. This morning my mother took it to work and she was forced to run a red light at 5:30 am because she could not stop because the pedal was soft. Every time the pedal went soft, it was because i was making a turn. The speeds i was going at were 40mph, 35mph and 20mph.after further research, i have learned that it has nothing to do with the master cylinder, brakes, rotors nor calipers, but has to do with the abs and hcu.
After a sudden braking caused the abs to activate in december 2016, the brakes now feel "spongy" and the brake pedal travels almost to the floor before the brakes take effect. This did not occur until after the abs activated. The brakes will stop the car, but the spongy feeling has not gone away, and the brake pedal takes longer to begin braking the car.this was not a problem until the recent abs activation.
(please note that i am a former factory-certified automotive technician, so description may be technical)when approaching a stop, small imperfections in road or slippery conditions results in an abs event, which is normal (although i would argue sensors are overly sensitive and cause abs to engage too quickly). However, after the abs event is over, the pedal will often drop to floor on the next attempt at braking. While now aware of it, the first several times this happened it was unexpected and i nearly either rolled through intersections or hit another vehicle. After vehicle was turned off for a period of time (typically 30 minutes or more), pedal would return to normal. However, the problem has progressed to where the pedal now will never return to full firmness.after extensive research and testing, i have been able to determine that the issue is a malfunctioning hydraulic control unit (a part that should easily last the lifetime of a vehicle). Due to the symptoms, many have mistakenly tried replacing brake boosters and master cylinders, only to find the problem still exists. This is not my video, but this man does an excellent job of illustrating the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwflkcxxzty.this is not a normal type of brake failure and poses a serious safety threat to anyone that is not expecting this behavior. The first few times that it happened to me, it was a matter of chance that i was not involved in an accident as a result of this.also, if you contact me, my car still exhibits the issue and i can readily reproduce it. Finally, date of event happening is approximately when problem first started, it has been ongoing intermittently for several years (abs events are not frequent occurrences) but has been getting worse over time, with pedal now not ever returning all the way to normal firmness.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the abs activated and the brake pedal functioned abnormally. The braking distance increased. The contact indicated that the brake pedal felt soft during and after the incident. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
After driving in rain, to work, where the anti-lock brakes were activated, the brake pedal went to the floor, on my way home, as i was turning into my neighborhood.i believe this is a recall issue #19s54.ford wants to charge me $95-$115 for diognostics, and will not provide a loaner vehicle while they order parts (2 to 3 days).i do not feel safe driving the vehicle, and will need to have it towed to the dealership.this recall has been un effect since 2019, yet they have no remedy as of now.there is also a second recall for airbags.(i already had the first airbag recall fixed.)they want me to drive a vehicke with faulty breaks and an airbag that may explode, and kill me upon impact.my case number is cas31223959, but they offer no solution to this problem, which they caused in the first place.

2008 ford fusion 100,000 miles first of all my car is still in drivable ... I'm on a fixed income and i have already replaced the brakes,rotors,master cylinder !my brakes have had issues for about a year . Come to a stop just a regular stop ( like a top light ) brakes go clear to the floor . This has been going on for a year . The last event was in jan 2017 went to come to a stop in heavy traffic and i almost re ended the car in front of me . My brakes were all the way to the floor literally no brakes at all . Made it home and my son started replacing everything as mentioned above ..... Now still no brakes at all clear to the floor . The abs control module is the only thing not replaced ( which should be a [xxx] recall ) i feel the only reason ford hasn't done a recall is because of the cost . I'm already out $1000.00 now another $1000.00 part plus the labor . I'm 68 and fixed income no car since jan this is ridiculous! i won't purchase another ford and that's all i've purchased in my 68 years !!!!parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The brakes on my 2008 ford fusion once again nearly failed after activation of the abs and going down the interstate at 70 mph. This is the problem reported with recall/nhtsa campaign number 19v904. I know this is the case since this is the third time this has occurred on my car. I have paid for the last two replacements with one being a full replacement at a ford dealer of around ~$600 and another that was able to be remedied by bleeding the brake lines until the hydraulic valve reset. I find it hard to believe that the nhtsa only has 15 complaints of this, but i guess that is the case when you have an obscure reporting procedure. I am able to find hundreds of complaints with a simple search. I am glad this has finally been recalled, but now we have to wait for ford to drag their feet on saying parts are available. It is a shame that the nhtsa makes you enter all of your personal information in order to file a complaint. Perhaps you all should look into anonymous reporting.
Approaching a stop sign on a morning with some ice on the roads, the abs engaged and the brake pedal went to the floor.all subsequent braking attempts result in the pedal going down to the floor and increased stopping distance.this has happened multiple times over the years with this car.different components have been replaced but never solved the problem.it typically goes away on its own eventually.doesn't feel like a safe situation.
Upon exiting a highway and approaching a right turn exit ramp and driving over a rough patch of road under construction. While turning and simultaneously applying the brakes the abs system engaged and then the brake system suddenly failed with the pedal going to the floor making it very difficult to stop the car. I arrived at my location less than a mile away and safely parked the car. After my work conference (7 hours later) i returned to my car and the brakes pressure returned, but remained very soft.currently, when the car is now operated the brake pedal needs to be applied almost to the floor when descending a hill or coming to a complete stop on level ground.the car responds initially when the brake pedal is applied, but then goes soft as the car needs to come to a stop at less than 10mph.to find consistent pressure for braking the car responds best when thebrake pedal is depressed partially, then released and applied again.this method was adopted after the brake failure occurred. Brake pads and rotors are in good condition.
On many occasions, the vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign or stop light, especially on adverse conditions (i.e. Wet streets or hills).we took the vehicle to joe cooper ford in tulsa, ok and was advised that they had to replace a hydraulic brake unit.we had to pay $1,531.00 to replace this unit.we have now found out that this has been a problem with this make and model.we are very concerned that the unit has been replaced with the same type of unit,we feel that this should have been a recall and that we should receive some type of reimbursement for the replacement.we are attaching the paid invoice for the replacement.the incident initially occurred in august 2016 and periodically occurred several times up until the repair.again on many occasions when pressing down on the brakes, the brake paddle would go down to the floor as if there were no brakes and then the brakes would eventually work.
I was driving had used my brakes no problem i then went to stop quickly and my brake pedal sunk all the way to the floor and felt like it had no pressure.i had to pull the emergency brake or i was going to smash into a car in front of me and i had plenty of space between us but my car wouldn't stop. I had experienced this a few times last winter in the slick road conditions of new england but the pressure would return the following day. But this time no luck i brought it to the shop and was told it could be a problem with my abssystem. In doing research i have found their have been numerous complaints about this problem. I am appalled that such a significant safety issues has not been addressed by ford. I purchased my vehicle new and have been the only operator since. I have a small child and frequently have other children in my car and to think my stopping situation could of been worse and all along ford has been aware of this issue and has yet to recall due to the cost of the replacement part. They know it's faulty and there are many shops and videos about this online. I only found out by doing research now that i have a problem and can't believe i was never notified about any potential problems. And only now have found out there is an open investigation on this issue. I take care of my vehicle and it only has 97777 miles on it. I could of seriously injured or killed someone or myself. I would like to know the status of this investigation of possible thank you.
Hello nhtsa,i was driving my car normally as any driver and i put my foot on the brake for a stop sign and suddenly the brakes go down on the ground and are not working. The issue is in the abs module and pump. This issue is common for all ford fusion and milan cars. This caused me several horrible scenarios where i could've died. I take extra care for my car and this is a car manufacture problem. I'm very disappointed with ford about this and i hope this would be considered as a recall. Here is a youtube video of a mechanic which explains the problem in detail and also mentions that it should be considered as a recall.

Once abs kicks in, i have no braking ability. Caused an accident back in 2013, checked by ford as no problem. Every time my abs kicks in i have this problem.
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.
On three occasions, upon suddenly braking, brake pedal failed. Took it to ford once and they couldnt tell me what was wrong. Ford dealer said, "must've been a freak accident." i ignored the second time brake pedal went to the floor as pressure built up soon after, but the third time, took it back to ford dealer. They quickly said it was the master cylinder. I didn't accept the diagnoses. Did some research and found online that there are so many other 2008 fusion brakes issues like mine! and no recall!?! research points towards the hydrualic control unit, the mechanical part of the abs module is bad. And it's a common issue! people can die over this! i have no abs indication showing on my instrument panel... On all three occasions i was driving on level roads or highways. How can ford not fix this? is it not common enough just yet!?! maybe let a few die and have the media have a field day with the deaths before ford responds??? ford has a responsibility to its vehicles! where's the pride and good will from ford? god forbid ford take responsibility and make a recall and prevent them from taking away from there profits!!!
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the dashboard had a bubble effect on the passenger side of the vehicle. The contact was concerned that the air bag could deploy. In addition, the brake pedal remained pressed to the floorboard when the vehicle was started. The vehicle was repaired, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 160,000.
Brake peddle goes to floor when stopping. The master brake cylinder was replaced and the brakes were bled but the problem still exists. I hear from others with this same car issue that it is a faulty abs pump and is very dangerous. Ford needs to do a recall on these units and don't wait until someone dies from not being able to brake.
When coming to a sudden stop and pressing hard on the brake pedal, the pedal went all the way to the floor and the abs system rapidly pumped. Since the car was not stopping like it should i had to pump the pedal again to finally get the car stopped. After this i had to depress the pedal nearly to the floor to properly brake the car. Checking brake fluid level i found it was normal. The first auto repair shop changed the master cylinder, found no improvement, and re-installed the original master cylinder. The second auto repair shop stated it required authorized ford dealer to communicate with a "solenoid" to clear the problem. The third auto repair (a ford dealer) stated no problem found without major dis-assembly and likely $$$ to fix. However the brakes worked a little better but still "mushy" when depressing the pedal. There have been multiple times when braking hard on a rough road the abs rapidly pumps with worsening of braking. It generally recovers somewhat over time but still too "mushy" for a normal braking. Ex-ford repair man suggested checking recalls and have found similar experiences on this website. Surprised to find no recall yet.
My break pedal needs to be pushed in all the way to engage.
Was driving on route 72 in vonore tn area and slowed down to turn left -brakes didn't "grab" and car didn't slow down. This happened before don't lose all brake but down to like 10%. Never returns to normal unless i find a parking lot to reverse and then slam on brakes hard -was told to do this by brake mechanic.
After noticing braking issues i had a mechanic look at itto investigate what the issue maybe. I was told it was the master cylinder. This part was replaced and then after replacing noticed air going into the line. After noticing the sound of air there was air lines after the flush. It was determined a faulty abs sensor
2008 ford fusion se - loses brake pedal pressure under extreme circumstances.after hitting bumps, pot holes, slick roads or other abs events, the pedal would go soft.it could be pumped back up, but would go soft again over time or after another abs event.i took it to my ford dealer for oil changes and they said it was my brakes.i replaced the pads, but the problem persisted.i then took it to my local mechanic who determined that the brake master cylinder had failed into the brake booster.the booster and master cylinder were not functioning properly.after replacement the brakes have worked fine.the first incident was while driving on the highway and the cars in front of my suddenly slammed on their brakes.the abs kicked in and it seemed to take a long time to stop.i started giving even longer distances and had problems driving our other cars because i'd over brake when stopping in them.
As i was driving my brake pedal suddenly became mushy. The pedal felt like it would hit the floor. I was able to stop but almost ran into the back of another vehicle. After doing some research online i found that multiple people were having the same problem and that it was the abs sensor that was going bad. Rather than spend $1,000 i simply removed the fuse to the abs module. When i did this my pedal pressure returned to normal. I took the vehicle to the ford dealership, and they told me there was nothing they could do about it because removing the fuse cleared the codes. The mechanic returned the fuse to the proper position and the pressure is normal right now. However i am afraid that the situation will return.
Brakes have gone spongy/soft. I have to push the pedal all the way to the floor to even get to stop at all. It's very scary. I used to be able to reset it, when it happened, by pulling off the road, pushing the pedal to the floor, shutting my car off, restarting my car, and driving again. This last time, it will not reset. I know many complaints have been filed for this, and i've been aware of the issue since i got the car in 2013. Do we need someone's family to experience a "fatal injury" before it's recalled? it's been an issue for a long time, and it's sad that, people's lives aren't being taking seriously. What if you get rear-ended by a fusion, lincoln or mercury that kills your child in the backseat, because their brakes quit working.this has happened multiple times but i the most current that has caused me to not have working brakes is: on monday night,(11/26/18 - around 6p) i was driving about 30-35 miles an hour, on john paul rd, heading towards sunset, to take a left to go home, three deer ran out in front of my car and i had to slam on my brakes. Afterwards, my brakes no longer worked properly, i tried to reset, like i mentioned earlier, and it would not work. I've tried repeatedly since then, in hopes that they will, but to no avail. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving at 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated he then used the emergency park brake in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to local dealer haldeman ford located at 607 nj-33, trenton, nj 08619, (888) 461-7845, where it was diagnosed with needing an alb module replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Brake pedal goes soft for no reason at all times for a unidentified reason. I have replaced master cylinder, brakes, rotors, and even had the brake lines checked and everything is working fine. Brakes feel like they are not stopping car, you must push the pedal all the way to ground before you get a stop and if you let up just a little the car starts to roll.
I was driving the vehicle and when coming to a red light the brake pedal when almost to the floor.since then it had happened several times. I took it to our mechanic and he checked the brakes over and said that everything was fine. We started driving the car again and the pedal was very soft and spongy so we took it back and he diagnosed the problem.he said it was the abs hydraulic controlunit. This was a very expensive fix for us and it was a very dangerous vehicle to drive as you could not tell if the brakes were going to work or not, a very scary situation. We are contacting ford to see if they can help us with the cost as to me this is a part that should last the life of the car.we also could not drive the car for a month or so while it was being diagnosed.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was able to stop after pumping the brake pedal multiple times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred five months later. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000. Updated 06/23/17*lj
This vehicle has already been recalled for the hcu unit not functioning properly. I have already filed a complaint for that with nhtsa. This new complaint is because the recall was made on december 18th of 2019 and now over a year later ford has not fixed the problem. I brought the car into a ford dealer on 01/08/21 and the dealer confirmed that the hcu unit is defective but they told me ford doesn't have the part and doesn't know when it will be available to replace it. This is over a year after it was recalled. I'm sure ford has built a lot of cars and trucks in the last year and has sold a lot of parts so it doesn't make sense that they cannot get this part. This is a safety issue. The brake pedal goes to the floor if the anti-lock brake engages and most of the time i have to pull over and pump the pedal to get it back to where it should engage. The ford dealer i took it to had me sign a paper saying that they informed me that the brakes are bad but ford won't fix it and that they are not responsible for me getting into an accident. The last line of the circled area on the rock river ford receipt states that.
Absolutely malfunction on gravel and snow, brakes go to floor and vehicle skids and need to pump brakes to return to normal brake brakes system ok mechanic states abs valve body bad. No abs malfunction light ever came on. Close to accident with 3 children in car.
We have had multiple instances where our anti-lock brakes have not engaged properly and it leaves us feeling like we don't have brakes at all. The pedal feels like it's going all the way to the floor and it's very soft. When this first started happening (maybe a year or two ago) it would reset itself within a day or two and the brakes would be back to normal. Now, if it happens, it's lasting weeks and sometimes over a month. We are currently in a state of them being soft again. We had some snow and ice last week, and one time of applying the brakes and sliding, and it has caused the issue to come back. We are a week out at this point and seeing no improvement in our brakes. We have not had an accident, but have experienced this many times with our fusion. Every time this has happened, it is when the brakes are being applied. If we hit a bump or rough spot, or the pavement is wet or icy, while applying our brakes, it causes the issue to happen.
I was entering a left hand curve with the brake applied.the road was a little rough and as i applied the brake harder, the pedal went to the floor.i pumped the brakes, but the car slid off the road and into the ditch stopping against the bank of the ditch and a pole.in the past 12 months the abs warning light had come on several times, but had not stayed on the next time the car was started.
This is a continuiny problem with the brakes. When braking hard during rainy or snowy conditions, the brake pedal goes soft. You still have brakes, but i need to pump them for maximum stopping. In past years we have had them basically reset themselves over a short period of time. If you check on line forums, this is a common problem. My dealer drained and replaced the brake fluid, and wants to replace rubber componets in the system, as he feels they may be compromised.he informed me that draining the lines did not fix the problem. Online forums from many customers say that they spent big bucks replacing different items, and not having any results. I asked that i get a guarantee that the fix they propose will work. No such luck.
Driving along normally, relatively low speed in the city limits, dry conditions, nothing out of the ordinary.pressed the brake pedal to stop the car, and instead the pedal had little to no resistance and went to the floor without stopping or slowing the car.had to pump the pedal a couple of times before getting pedal resistance and slow the car.this has happened 3 times in the past 1 year, most recently this past monday.
My car has had a recall since last year and no word on when it can be fix.i can not have a car that the breaks my go out on or just let or let it sit there for god knows how long. I think ford should pay vehicles back especially if it's something as serious as a breaking issue.
I had the car serviced for a ford brake recall at watermark ford hundai in marion il. Last month. When i got the car back the brakes felt the same. They go almost all the way to the floor just like before they were supposed to fix them, per the recall notice. I told the service center at watermark ford and they said they were fixed, and they would improve over time. They have not improved. So today (7/6/2021) i had to have brake shoes put on my car at another service center and they said the part needed for the recall had not been replaced and they could put it on for $400. I can't afford $400 for a repair that was supposed to be fixed already.i am afraid to drive my car now and it's the only one i have. Please help.
I recently drove my 90 year old mother in law's 2008 ford fusion.the vehicle only has 20,000 miles. The brake pedal has way too much travel - when applying full braking force the pedal never returns a hard end stop feel and pedal travel stops only an inch or so from the firewall.once engaged the anti-lock system is not balanced resulting in some of the wheels to lock - and not the same wheels with each test.she indicated that this had been this way since she bought the car.i had the brake fluid completely replaced by ford with no improvement.the dealership is not sure what the issue is and recommends replacing parts on by one until it is fixed - starting with the master cylinder and then the brake control module.having an issue with this approach i searched on-line and determined that there have been hundreds of complaints on the fusion for this issue and that the nhtsa has opened a formal investigation.the purpose of this complaint is to be included in whatever rectifications may result from that investigation.
2008 ford fusion brake pedal goes to the floor randomly when attempting to stop. Open recall for over 6 months now; parts were to be available end of first quarter. Vehicle is unsafe to operate in its current condition.
The brakes go soft after going over a rough patch or a pot hole.brakes go all the way to the floor, reducing stopping distance.this is a known safety issue and it needs to be recalled before someone gets injured or worse.it occurs frequently on my vehicle and in my opinion, it is very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving on ice or going over a bump in the road, the brakes malfunctioned when the brake pedal was depressed. Waldorf ford (2440 crain hwy, waldorf, md 20601, (301) 234-7591) stated that the contact had to pay for diagnostic testing. The contact was referred to the manufacturer who agreed with the dealer. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the brakes reset and worked normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
After applying my brakes on a close call my break pedal no goes all the way to the floor. Takes a long distance to stop. I brought my vehicle in to have it fixed and apparently the abs control module and hydraulic brake controller will not re-engage! ford wants close to $2000 for a replacement. After research i believe it is a faulty factory abs control unit
On december 7, 2016, i was driving home from work in extremely cold temperatures (roughly -20 degrees) and on snow and ice.during a stop, my abs engaged and after that time, my brakes became very soft, required the pedal to be pushed almost all the way to the floor and offered very little stopping power.i had my car towed to the dealership which was already closed for the evening.the next day, they were unable to recreate the problem and theorized that the extreme cold temperatures didn't allow the hydraulic control unit (hcu) to reroute fluid properly after the abs engaged.they advised me that if it happened again, i may need to replace the hydraulic control unit.i'm guessing my car had roughly 100,000 miles on it at that time.on november 4, 2017, i was driving in a blizzard that had started after a period of rain so the roads were extremely slick and icy.once again, my abs engaged which led to a brake failure. I also happened to be at the summit of a mountain with a 5% grade - not a great time to lose your brakes!i took my car in to a shop on 11-6-17 to have them diagnose the problem.they witnessed the brake failure and after testing, determined that the hydraulic control unit had failed.they replaced the hcu (with a used unit at a materials/labor cost of roughly $450) and i will see what happens next time my abs engages.my car currently has about 115,000 miles on it.i consider myself extremely lucky that i did not get into an accident during either of these malfunctions.the hcu failure is definitely a safety issue that needs to be addressed and can be extremely dangerous.
Brake pedal went to floor while driving and braking on a back road.had to pump brake pedal several times to get to stop.took to ford dealer who reported no leaks but intermittent problem with abs and abs hcu. Said it happened infrequently with this model.only fix is to replace expensive abs modules.found numerous reports online of this problem with other 2008 and 2009 ford fusions.there should probably be a recall.dealer did not recommend replacing abs modules at this time said considered vehicle safe.
Further information for the recall notice 19s54 / nhtsa recall 19v-904.mileageat first event 111,287.three times when braking hard the brake pedal went to the floor and barely slowed down the car.1.) first time august 2017 while slowing down and making a right turn over a man hole cover.dealer bleed the brakes but this did not fix the issue.2.) recurred mileage 14459 december 28, 2017 on interstate where traffic had come to a halt. Had to brake fairly hard but the pedal went to the floor and only slowed the car slightly. Had over 100 yards before the stopped traffic. I almost hit the stopped cars ahead but they started to move forward just in time.i then rode the emergency lane, stopped and turned the car off and waited a while, then drove to the dealership. I left the car with them and had to get a rental car.this was a friday before new years so they needed many days to get to look at it. Picked up car jan 2, 2018 but they did not know for certain how to fix it but thought i might need a new hydraulic control unit, hcu.3.) mileage 114520 january 23, 2018 this happened again on city roads and that was enough. I found a video online from a mechanic that described the issue completely. I sent the link to the ford dealer and put a printed copy on the driver seat.i called the dealer and had them pick up the car because i was to scared to drive it anymore.in shop jan 24 to 27, 2018. Total paid to dealer for three visits on this issue $1,409.61 plus $501.63 in rental car charges. Total out of pocket cost = $1,909.61. 1/27/2020 i just received a recall notice on this issue.i disagree with the comments that says " "ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle...you can continue to safely drive your vehicle." it certainly is a safety issue!here is the issue:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r46_unyyk8.
I was driving on a major highway. When i attempted to brake for the red light my brake pedal had no pressure. I had to push it hard all the way to the floor to get the car to stop. This has happened to me three times in the last 6 months. It is very scary not knowing if i will make it through the light or stop sign without hitting the car in front of me or being hit myself. I have had no leaks, warning lights or noticeable grinding sounds. I am afraid to drive when the snow comes. In addition, i have received notice that my passenger air bag is defective. I question why it is only the passenger.why would ford use another manufacturer for the other airbags? in closing,what is taking so long to get these parts? this is a serious problem!
Brakes are spongy and need pumped to stop the vehicle
I was on the highway driving my 2008 ford fusion when a tractor trailer suddenly pulled out in front of my car. I slammed on my brakes to avoid a collision with the tractor trailer and my antilock brake system activated. After my antilock brake system activated, i lost significant brake pressure and the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily i was able to maneuver to the side of the road and use the emergency brake and low range gear to come to a stop even though i was travelling down a steep gradient hill. My car had about 100,000 miles at the time of the incident. My car was towed to a mechanics shop where the mechanic said the hydraulic control unit was stuck. I removed the fuse for the antilock brake system to disable it.
My brake petal has become spongy and i have to press it almost all the way to the floor in order to get it to stop.
While driving at approx. 15-20 mph approaching a busy intersection began applying brakes and they instantly felt soft and spongy and went nearly to the floor i continued to apply pressure as i approached a busy intersection and eventually stopped. Continued to drive to get someplace safe and at every brake the brakes were very soft and needed a lot of additional space to stop and went almost to the floor. In reviewing all forums this seems a common and sudden issue. Mine occurred with no warning, popping or abs engaging. Allowing the car to sit as it is sunday afternoon and will see how it feels tomorrow. I am quite frankly afraid to drive my car and have to get to work somehow...
While trying to stop the car while in motion, the brake pedal goes down all the way to the floor, and it takes longer than it should to stop the car. For several seconds after starting to press the brake, it seems like the car will not stop even though the brake is pressed to the floor. I've almost been in several wrecks and have only avoided them by pressing my brakes wellbefore i have needed to the point of trying to stop at green lights just in case. I have taken it to 3 different ford dealerships to try and fix the breaks to the point where the brake booster, caliper, and brake module have all been replaced yet the brakes still do not work properly. I hope that this problem can be resolved before someone is killed because he or she was unable to stop his or her car due to the faulty breaks.
My brakes keep failing on my car , even after new brakes. They go all the way to the floor and i have almost been in 6 different accidents, once having to take the shoulder of the road and damaging a rim. It started at 14000 ish off and on and i only have 59000 on it now, and ford needs to take care of this. I have read so many complaints of the same. I mean this is not only dangerous for me and my passengers , but for anyone in front of me. I want my insurance company to know i have reported this issue, and i also have printed a file of all complaints i have found. They not only fail, but they grind..... With new rotors and brakes as everyone else is saying. I cannot drive it if it rains or snows, because you just cannot stop the car. I nearly was in a pile up on the hiway as well. It is scarey. I would challenge them on this. The other day i could not stop again. This is a problem ....so many people are complaining of the same thing.
In november of 2017 my break pedal became unresponsive and would go all the way to the floor when's pressed. It would break after i pumped my breaks but breaking was still compromised. I replaced my master cylinder and bled my breaks, checked for leaks to no avai. I took it to a mechanic and he's could find nothing wrong but suspected the abs hydraulic control unit. This issue can only be handled by ford dealerships. No harsh breaking occurred to cause the issue and i narrowly avoided an accident due to the failure (i had to swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid the accident). I feel this is a safety issue and should be recalled because i researched it and found numerous complaints that are similar to mine and i could've seriously injured myself or others due to the problem.
On multiple occasions after going over an uneven surface the vehicle has developed a soft brake pedal after abs activation. This of course significantly increases the stopping distance of the vehicle. The condition will persist but can typically be temporarily corrected by performing a panic stop that causes the abs to activate. I am a former ase certified master technician, service advisor and current assistance service manager for various manufacturer at a dealer level. This issue obviously originates from one or more valves inside the abs hydraulic control unit sticking. Your average customer/consumer would not know what to do in the event this condition occurs and accidents have obviously already happened and will continue to happen. You're average independent repair shops would not know how to diagnose this condition and likely not be able to repair it. My mother drives this car which i gave to her and thankfully hardly drives. After working for general motors during the ignition switch disaster and the dozens of recalls they released after i wouldn't be upset to never see another recall again. However this is a fault within a vehicle i firmly believe should not be the consumers responsibility to repair. This affects the safety of not just those in the car but those outside the car as well.
While driving i was required to apply the brake pedal further than normal.to stop the pedal must be applied almost to the floor.brake pedal feels soft, sponge like, when applied.vehicle still stops but pumping them repeatedly is required.this is required when stationary, in motion and on city streets and highways.vehicle has 120k but this issue just started.stating the obvious that brakes are an important but certainly creates a safety issue even if the brakes stop the vehicle. You have to adjust your speed and timing when applying the brakes.although this has not occurred yet, sudden or emergency braking may be required so i can't confirm how they would react to this situation.
When you press the petal, you have to pump the brakes to make the brakes work.the calipers are working correctly and bleeding the brakes doesn't fix it.new brake pads have been replaced.this began once the anti-lock brake system was engaged and the anti-lock brake system won't work.all of the wheels will lock up when there is a sudden stop at moderate speed (40 mph with full braking).
Driver hit pothole/bump while driving which activated the abs brake system.brake petal went to the floor, remained very soft and is very close to the floor. Brakes work but have to be depressed almost to the floor.informed abs control/hydraulic assembly needs go be replaced.the abs pump/hydraulic assembly failed which is a braking safety hazard.
After the abs engaging while slowing down on a slippery road, the brake pedal is now spongy/ has a longer travel than normal. Vehicle exhibiting same symptoms as the investigation already underway.
I was driving on a snow covered road and went to brake and the abs kicked in like it should, so everything was normal. Then afterwards the brake pedal felt soft and would just about go to the floor when it would be depressed. I did not lose my braking power all together but i would have to pump the brakes or begin to stop far in advance to be able to stop like normal. It was like that for about two weeks and then one day the brake pedal went back to normal, but this is the second time in two years that this has happened and it worries me that this will happen again. I have looked into the situation and from what i've read it seems that it's a problem with the abs control module and is pretty common. Most people and even dealerships diagnose this as a faulty master cylinder, worn rotors and a number of other things and they end up replacing what they thought was the issue only to have the same problem occur again! i have not replaced anything in relation to this problem due to the fact of my brakes going back to "normal" and the abs control module being so expensive to fix. So i am taking my chances that this will not happen again until there is a recall on this issue. I believe it is a safety concern because although i did not lose my brakes all-together, i did lose most of my braking power and it could happen again at a time where i need to stop quickly and don't have time to pump the brakes.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal was applied and the vehicle hesitated to stop. The contact stated that the brake pedal required excessive force in order to stop. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who released the air from the abs system but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
I have filed one report already about the brakes. Wanted to inform you that the brakes are currently out as described in the recall letter. We have zero brakes and had to use the emergency brake to be able to slow down. Took to the dealership, they havent looked at it bc there is no replacement part which leaves us in limbo. We found the brakes we not working while driving and trying to slow down. Pedal went to the floor did not slow the car down without using the e-brake. There was no warning.
2008 ford fusion. My issue is with the braking system in my wife's car. It will go soft and feel like there are not brakes. While driving car on city, county roads, and some highway. While sitting in idol or park breaks still feel loose and go to the floor. There was an article that nhtsa investigating 2007-2009 ford fusions and mercury milans with the same issue i want to involve my wife's car in this also. Had car at ford dealer and they found no leaks thought it could be something in a caliper fixed it but it didn't solve the problem.
When breaking sudden my brake pedal goes to the ground and won't stop.it happened when hitting a bump in the road and breaking and has occurred in slippery conditions.it has been intermittent.i have had my break pads, rotors replaced, all lines checked for pressure no leaks.the car may be very dangerous if we fall in the wrong situation.fortunately that hasn't happened yet.today the brakes are working fine but you just don't know when you have to use them and the pedal goes to the floor.this has happened on several occasions in the past few months.
Upon applying the brakes to slow down in order to make a right turn, the pedal went to the floor and braking was very slow/soft.it did not recover after stopping and restarting the car.was able to get to my mechanic who discovered a failed abs hydraulic pump control unit.
Recall notice has been sent to me in january of 2020. This hydraulic control unit needs to be fixed. My abs light and break light comes on driving at high speeds, low speeds, backing up. Anytime i drive the vehicle and i feel it dangerous. I fear that it may not be brought to a controlled stop one day.
Brakes suddenly are spongy and have to be pressed nearly to the floor to stop the car. Has happened on city streets, highways, and in garage. Has nearly caused an accident because braking time and distance increased with absolutely no notice. Have had to had the abs bled three separate times in the last 18 months at a repair shop. Severely disappointed to learn that hundreds of these instances have been reported and ford has not issued a recall.
Abs braking system issue on ford fusion.after engaging abs, the brakes are loose and soft causingdriver to press firmly to applied brakes and causing longer stops.have had two brake specialist review and they are unable to resolve.seems to be a common complaint among ford fusion owners.own ford focus, edge, explorer, and mercury monterrey and mountaineer that do not exhibit this issue.
Brakes go soft after getting abs action. Brakes will be almost non functional after braking hard then trying to use them again. Have almost had several accidents over this.
Has going down hill (on city street) applying brakes and hit pothole with left rear wheel.brakes became weak and pedal went towards floor. Braking continued to be impaired with excessive pedal travel and weak braking. This is the second time that i have experienced brake degradation although problem resolved itself after parking / starting cycle before.has not cleared this time.after searching web, found ea 18-002 which exactly describes concern.new hydraulic control unit is on order and i have appointment with dealer friday.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake pedal would extend to the floor causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer apple ford (8800 stanford blvd, columbia) who diagnosed that abs valve in the brake control unit was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in the nhtsa campaign number 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 151,000.
If the brakes are applied while on snow, ice orbumps the abs engages then the brake pedal goes to the floor and will have to be pushed to the floor to stop after that. To bring the pedal back to normal operating condition i have to stop the car, take it out of gear then pump the brakes extremely hard. This could happen in as little as every 20 feet when driving in snowy conditions. This also affects the steering when driving in slippery conditions. The abs is suppose to help keep the car in control when roads are slippery. Because it's not working properly i have to drive slower then everyone else on the road and it will still slide around, especially on turns. I have searched the web and have found that 3 ford built cars have this problem because of faulty abs pumps. I was going to to file a complaint years ago but when i research back then it looked like it was a well known problem to ford and the nhtsa so i thought it would be recalled soon anyway. However since they still haven't been recalled i decided to file a complaint. Ford charges about $1500.00 to replaced the part which to me is like stealing from their customers since they know they put a faulty part in and that it is a safety hazard. Below you ask when this happened. It's been happening since the first snow after i bought the car and still happens.thanks
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 15 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. As a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to pittsboro ford (1245 thompson st, pittsboro, nc 27312, (919) 542-3131) where it was diagnosed and the abm and master cylinder were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 260,000. *as
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle did not stop immediately. The contact stated that the stopping distance was extended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the abs malfunctioned and was faulty. After bleeding the brake pedal lines, the vehicle operated normally. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,718.
I was driving my 08 ford fusion i went to stop at stop light my brake pedal went all the way to the floor to wear it felt like i had to push it all the way to the motor for it to stop. This has happened to me the total of four times in the 16months that i have had the car. Usually if you keep going forward then backwards the brake would come back but this last time the brake pedal never came back and is all the way to the floor. I took it to well known shop they changed mater cylinder also brakes and rotors. My brake pedal still goes all the way down this has also been bleed several times.
Without warning, the brakes almost completely failed. The pedal went nearly to the floor and the stopping distance was much longer than usual. The mechanic inspected the entire braking system and found nothing wrong. He then electronically purged the abs system three times and normal braking and pedal travel were restored. He gave me a copy of tsb 575576.
While slowly driving, i heard a pop noise and then the brake pedal went to the floor. I had the breaks checked, rotor, pad, fluid and had them bled. Nothing wrong and no change. I took them 3 different places and they could find nothing wrong. If i pumped the breaks, the pedal will come back, but if i hit a pothole, minor bump or if its wet, snow or ice...they go out again and i am terrified of wrecking and hurting myself or someone else! i took it in somewhere else and they were able to tell me it's the abs system and that it may need a new abs module which is quite expensive! i am very afraid to drive, but i have no choice; work and home. This is a huge safety issue! i have now seen this problem reported several times and no recall? why is this not taken care of? i wonder how many accidents have been due to this? what does it take to have it recalled? it is obviously a defective abs problem...that ford is not addressing.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was depressed, the pedal felt soft. The failure corrected itself for eight months until it became constant. The dealer (bill kay ford, 2556 s cicero ave, midlothian, il) diagnosed that the master cylinder was faulty and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, but the failure could not be diagnosed. The contact made multiple attempts to contact the manufacturer regarding the failure; however, the contact was disconnected from the customer service representatives. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the vehicle hit a bump in the road while coming to a stop light and the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact stated used the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The contact stated she took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the cause of the failure was not determined. The contact stated that the mechanic bled the brake lines and changed all the brakes however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that recently the rear passenger's side tire hit a small pump and loss braking ability. The contact stated that she had to pump the brake pedal several times until the brakes engaged and worked correctly. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer to be diagnosed. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.
Sudden brake failure after applying brakes on damp pavement. Speed was about 30 mph on a city street. After pumping pedal, brakes returned but pedal was soft and nearly to the floorboard. Brakes have remained soft greatly extending braking distance making vehicle unsafe to drive. This came without any warning or indication on the dashboard that brake system was compromised. After speaking with a ford technician, the opinion was possible failure of the hydraulic control module and needed to be followed up. This incident was a very close call with a utility pole and thanks to a working emergency brake and quick thinking, an accident was avoided. This needs to be investigated with a possible recall.
Multiple mechanics. No remedy to fix soft brake pedal. Getting harder and harder to stop safely. No specific event occurred to cause this. It has gotten worse over time. I'm going to be forced to buy another vehicle i can not afford right now.
2008 ford fusion. Consumer writes regarding abs safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated while driving the brakes failed. The consumer was able to pull into a gas station. The brakes eventually began working again. The vehicle was taken to a technician who did not find anything wrong. The consumer referenced recall 19s54/19v-904.
Brake pedal travels too far before engaging. Gets worse after abs has been used. This is an ongoing problem and ford cant comeup with a reasonable answer. This has happened on many occasions from sitting at a dead stop to highway speeds. If you pump the brakes a few times they stiffen up but then get spongy after abs is forced to kick in.
Brake pedal goes completely to floor and increased stopping distance is required.appears to be related to the hydraulic control unit.
Light snow on roads when i approached a stop sign. Approached slowly and began to lightly apply the brakes. Felt/heard abs engage when the brake pedal lost all resistance and went to the floor. Began franticly pumping the brakes and, after approximately 10 pumps, they returned. Pulled away from intersection and lightly applied brakes on a dry area of pavement; same result as above. Abs indicator light is not on. Immediately took vehicle to a repair facility (pumping my leg off every time i had to decrease speed) and they found no issue. Stated the problem is likely with the abs hcu (as they had seen the same issue occur on a lincoln mks). Pedal restored to normal while traveling home from shop.**updated 9/28/16 two days after i reported the original incident, i was driving my morning commute and began to brake as i approached a busy intersection (three directions of traffic but only 1 direction has to stop). Very small spots of unmelted snow were present on the road and again, the brake pedal went to the floor. I also went beyond my desired stopping point on this occasion, as well. In fact, the vehicle only stopped because i wrecked into the back of another vehicle that was waiting to turn.*smch
The roads were snow covered sent to stop at for a stop sign the abs brakes worked but after that every time i went to use my brakes i had to put the peddle almost to the floor to stop and almost went though a red light. Went out the next day to see if it would do it again and it didn't do it all untill i triped the abs than it started to do the same thing as it was yesterday.
When driving over rough road or when its raining and applying the brakes, the pedal goes to the floor. It seems as when the abs system activates it causes the brake system to lose stopping power. After awhile the brakes seem to reset. I have taken it to numerous mechanics and they cannot duplicate the problem. An internet search, which i'm sure you're aware of, has documented numerous cases of this possible abs pump failure.this has been an ongoing event for the past year.
Driving and lost all brakes.went to the floor as i was driving in normal weather in iowa.this was my daughter's car, i am thankful it happened to me and not my 17 year old.as a single mom with no income at this time, the car now has been parked for 3 months.so i have had time to do some research:the brake fluid was completely empty.there were no signs of brake fluid leak. I did find it is possible that the plastic on the brake booster if corroded, that the brake fluid was being sucked into the intake manifold, leaving no signs of it leaking.i also found by doing a simple search on the web forums: the same issue has been reported by other 2008 form fusion owners. And if you paid attention by simply looking at vin number, all of the cars were produced on the same line, in the same plant, at the same time frame. And were about 100 cars apart consecutively down the line. I have had a master mechanic do a diagnostics:the brake booster and the master brake cylinder both need replaced. Also a misfire was happening.have yet to be determined if this causes that.we won't know until i get the brakes fixed.i don't know how i, a 38 year old single mom from iowa can see that there needs to be an obvious recall from you and ford.butwe shouldn't have to put my child's nor my lives on the line for you to pull your head out of your hind ends to see the obvious.
While turning onto cty street the car in front of me stopped quickly causing me to slam on my brakes. The next stop sign i came to the brakes went to the floor. My son drove the car the next day and said he almost went into an intersection because the brakes went to the floor even after pumping them. The brakes are new the master cylinder is full of fluid. Ford must recall these vehicals immediatley, if a death is caused by continued delay you will be held accountable. Act now
Takata recall.on 12/5/16 i was traveling on a busy road to a busy intersection.the vehicle in front of me was going to go through the beginning of a yellow light, then changed their mind and stopped at the light.i slammed on my brakes and the pedal went all the way to the bottom and i couldn't stop, i had to veer to the left lane which was clear and it still was hard to get the car to stop before ending up in the busy intersection.i hit the driver rear corner of the vehicle in front of me that i was trying to avoid hitting. It caused damage to my vehicle's front passenger fender.this wasn't a slippery or wet condition, it was dry road in the middle of the day.i haven't had the damage fixed yet but i can send a picture if it's needed.
The contact's daughter owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his daughter had to pump the brake pedal numerous times for the vehicle to stop. The abs warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to fred beans ford of newtown (10 n sycamore st, newtown, pa 18940) where it was confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While the contact's husband was attempting to stop the vehicle, the brakes failed to operate properly. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the emergency brake had to be applied to stop the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the master cylinder failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred approximately a week later. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that she filed a previous complaint with nhtsa (odi number: 10967298) for the same failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
Received recall on airbags 6 months ago and as of 1/3/2017 has not been taken care of. Ford dealership says they have not received the parts yet.also the brakes go soft when braking and have not received any recall about this problem. 2 very dangerous problems that need to be taken care of.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard and caused the stopping distance to be extended. While inspecting the vehicle, it was discovered that the brake fluid was low. After refilling the brake fluid reservoir, the failure continued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
I was coming to a stop while turning in a thin patch of mud, the brake pedal went nearly all the way to the floor causing a drastic drop in braking capability.apparently, after an "abs event", a valve in the abs control unit sticks open robbing the system of pressure.after the abs event, i was able to re-pressurize the system by pumping on the brake pedal several times.
I received a recall notice from ford in january 2020, and a notice from ford that parts were expected in the first quarter of 2020. It has now been over a year and no parts available.this is a 2008 vehicle, how many can there be, that parts aren't available?
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced a soft pedal failure which progressed to total brake failure, without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle twice to an independent mechanic who performed two brake repairs to the vehicle however, after each repair, the brake failure persisted. The contact then received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact called stokes hodges ford (1850 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829) and it was confirmed that parts were unavailable. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and confirmed that parts were unavailable. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 182,451. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Brake pedal is soft and requires increased brake pedal travel until the brakes are applied. This problem occurred after the abs system was activated on snowy roads. This brake problem made driving extremely difficult as the brakes were considerably reduced. Braking has still not returned to normal after 3 days and no longer consider my vehicle safe to drive and currently researching options to repair.
Ford fusion abs brake failure during braking. My abs system has completely failed, and i finally feel safe. I thought the car was trying to kill me. Before the abs system finally fully failed,( the orange dash light is now on, and the abs system is off.)the abs system would pick the worst time to fail , during basic braking, emergency stop braking, wet braking or in sand. It seemed that any time the tires had less than perfect traction, the abs could randomly fail without warning. The brake pedal in an emergency stop situation, or basic braking, would go all the way to the floor, emitting a loud ratcheting sound as the pedal became ineffective and soft, not stopping the vehicle. This would happen when wheel speeds were below 30 mph, and the cars sensors thought the tires had lost traction, when they really had not, i was on i-4 during the last hurricane and had to park the car due to all the traffic starting and stopping. The brake pedal doing its random working and not working, i almost got into 4 different accidents due to the brakes completely failing, never before have i had a car where i wondered if the brakes were going to work, or failpossible causing a crash. With the abs not active, the cars braking still works, and not once has the brakes failed with the orange dash light on. This major problem needs to be addressed immediately.,,, ford still has not contacted me with a replacement for the passenger side takata airbag that is currently under recall.so i am driving a car with a failed abs system, and a air bag thats a bomb waiting to go off spraying me with shrap metal . And the car is not under recall ? the ford fusion is a lemon , and unsafe at any speed.
Driving slow through the city when had to tap brake pedal for a vehicle that was veering into my lane.upon doing so, my brakes went soft and i noticed that i have to push pedal significantly further before i sense any slowing of my vehicle.ever since, my brakes have stayed this way and i'm uncomfortable driving my vehicle like this.took it to a mechanic shop and they said nothing was wrong when they ran a diagnostic test on it.this is the second time in 1.5 years this has happened.first time, the abs system was replaced and it was normal for about a year.now it happened again.
Abs control valve sticks when brake is used hard. After that, loses brake pedal. Apparently this is a common issue for years 07-09.
At times my abs will kick in when hitting a bump while braking or when hard braking, after the abs kicks in i lose all pressure and have to floor my brake pedal to be able to stop. Eventually my brakes re pressurize but this takes time, this last event took 2.5 weeks for my brakes to "come back". This is also no the first time this has happened. I almost hit a girl crossing the street, my abs kicked in, then my brakes failed and i had to floor the brake pedal to stop, i nearly hit the girl. Thankfully i realized what happened and knew to floor my brake pedal.first incident: i was braking to a stop and my tire hit a raised manhole cover in the road, wasn't real hard but enough that my brakes "failed" and i skidded into the intersection, thankfully no one was moving yet. My brakes recovered a couple days later.second incident: the young girl i almost hit, i mentioned this in the above paragraph. Heading to work, doing about 30, i spaced out for a min, girl starts to cross, i slam on the brakes.(yes, i know, it was bad all around). The abs kicks in, i start to slow, then i lose 99% of my brakes and i have to floor my pedal to stop from hitting her. I came within 5 feet of the girl.there have been other instances but i don't remember specifics. Although, the two events above, the first one was about 2 years ago, the second was 2 weeks ago.
Brake pedal went all the way to the floor and braking distance was longer than normal.i had to turn to the right to clear the car stopping in front of me, hit the curb putting a hole in tire sidewall.brakes have been soft since this occurrence.
I was driving on a city street on a rainy evening when i had to stop short on some painted lines on theroadway, because someone braked suddenly in front of me while driving, and my abs kicked on.after that, the brakes went soft and it took longer to stop my car.
Was not notified of any recalls on this vehicle when i purchased it. I had an accident last month and the brakes locked up and i couldn't control the steering and went careening off the roadway into a stationary sign and tow up the passenger side of my vehicle. The passenger air bag never deployed. Nor the driver air bag.
Braking is soft.must push brake pedal near to the floor to stop.after pumping the brakes, they tighten up.this started after i braked suddenly going over a speed bump at about 25 miles per hour. Mechanic says the problem is probably the abs hydraulic unit.i saw several youtube videos that match my problem with my vehicle.
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.
I was driving my car down a frontage road when i put my foot to the brake pedal i felt the abs brakes engage and then when i broke again my foot went down to the floor.i was glad that i was only going 25 miles per hour and that this did not happen because there was a car or person i needed to stop for because i would have hit it/them.i took it to my mechanic who could not find out what was wrong but after looking into the problem on line found that this seems to be an issue with other owners of the same car and year.an intermittent abs brake problem.the repair cost will be $800 for the part and 5 hours of labor. Shocked to find out there is not recall for what could and maybe has been such a dangerous faulty part.
Takata recall airbag on recall for over a year and no fix in sight was told not to put anyone in my front seat ford will not give a loaner. Also now my abs systems is having trouble and they have not issued a recall even though others are experiencing the same trouble. Car is literally a death trap. When driving i have to push brakes to the floor and pump them to get it to stop my brakes and rotors are both good
Brakes were operational w/ normal function/ response. I firmly pressed the pedal, to avoid a pothole, traveling over a railroad crossing. Immediately thereafter, the brakes became/remain 30% effective, w/ no loss of fluid. I've had my mechanic replace the abs module & master cylinder to no avail/ success. I'll now take to dealer for diagnostics, so i may unload/sell immediately thereafter repairs.
We still have not received any information from the ford motor company to replace the hydraulic control unit on my ford fusion.
While driving and braking, it felt as if there was no brakes, the pedal went to the floor. I would describe this as an extended brake.many times i've come very close to getting into an accident due to this issue. I've had the brake pads, brake rotors, calipers and now the master cylinder replaced with a brake fluid flush and this issue still remains. This issue is very unsafe and i feel this vehicle should be listed under the recall regarding the abs module. I called several different ford dealerships and was told that my vehicle doesn't qualify for the recall. I called ford customer service and they were no help either. The repaid i've made were costly, but this repair would be very costly in which i feel i shouldn't have to pay for.
While driving on slick roads, during a braking event the antilock brakes activated.after that for the next two hours, while driving in very slick conditions, when the brake pedal was applied it basically went to the floor.brake pedal had to be pumped to get the brakes to work.this has happened on two separate occasions.
While approaching a stop sign in the state of wi in november with snow covered roads my abs activated while sliding into the stop sign and braking however the break just went to the floor and i drove right through the stop sign. I proceeded to pump the break however the breaks were soft and squishy. The brakes are not working properly. Due to the hydraulic control unit which has a valve sticking. A common problem i learned with this vehicle. This needs to be recalled so no one get seriously injured.
When operating my 2008 ford fusion and pressing the brake pedal to slow and stop the vehicle; the brake pedal has a very soft spongy feel. The travel of the brake pedal takes the pedal nearly to the floor. Vehicle seems to take a longer time to stop. This braking situation occurs in neighborhood traffic at 25mph, city traffic at 30 to 40 mph and on the highway at multiple speeds 50 mph plus...
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving approximately 45 mph, the driver slammed on the brakes to avoid rear ending the preceding vehicle. The contact stated that the brakes failed to stop the vehicle promptly and the abs warning indicator illuminated. On another occasion, while driving approximately 20 mph, the brakes failed to stop while the vehicle was at a stop sign. The vehicle crashed into a trailer. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was damaged, but not towed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures.the contact did not receive notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 35 mph, she had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard to stop the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to local dealer horne freedom ford (2161 e u.s. Hwy 70, thatcher, az 85552 (928) 428-1770) and the brake master cylinder was replaced. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure. 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 local dealer horne freedom ford, 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 had not been made aware of the issue. Vin tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was 16,000.
The brake pedal has to be pressed all the way to the floor to stop. This happens on and off without warning. It has happened several times. We received a recall notice. No part available to replace it. Called dealership and they advised us to call ford customer care to see if since we are experiencing the described recall issue they may put us in a rental. Called and spoke to a rep several days in a row. Asked for a supervisor to call us back and they say they will but dont. Recall says it raises risk of accident. Since the part in the recall sticks without notice we are concerned putting our family in it. However it is our vehicle of transportation. We are experiencing the described issue that is stated in the recall. The brakes work fine one day and the next they dont. We dont know until the pedal goes to the floor. Thats alarming. This happens at any time and any where without warning.
I drove over a rough patch of ice going 40 mph in a city and the abs engaged. However, the brake pedal went to the floor, and i ended up in the middle of an intersection. Since then, my brakes have been spongy and require more pressure in order to stop my car.
Abs brakes system... I've been notified of recall, an ive set an appt. And went there in which the person i spoken with told me there's an recall but they couldn't help fix the safety problem and im not trying to be hurt nor hurt one one else via traffic accident due to ford dealers don't want to help resolve the recalled parts .
Had several incidents with my brakes not working properly after abs going on by hittin my brakes on a bumpy road or uneven gravel and in rainy weather, my brakes went soft and low and i would have to press the brakes all the way down to the ground for my vehicle to stop. After pumping the brakes and stopping a lot of times the brakes would go somewhat back to normal, recently i pressed my brakes in uneven gravel and i almost ran into a construction post because my brakes gave out on me and went soft and low, so i had to turn my vehicle to prevent me from crashing, my brakes have been low and soft ever since and i drove my vehicle several times after that incident and my brakes have not returned back to normal, im trying to figure out this issue and believe it's extremely dangerous, i take care of my vehicle it looks brand new still and i always take care of it, i just don't understand why this is happening and almost caused me to crash into a construction post, i believe from researching that others with the 2008 ford fusions are experiencing the same problems.
Brake pedal lost pressure after hitting a speed bump and it took 30 mins to resume to the normal position.breaking was very slow during this time and took a longer distance to brake.after researching the issue which seems to be affecting this year of ford fusions it appears it is a fault with the abs hydraulic control unit.
Faulty hcu:in march 2015, made a hard stop and the '08 fusion went into an abs stop.the brake pedal became very soft and almost went to the floor.i had to pull off the road and pump the brakes repeatedly to get back to a it's normal state. Fortunately, i was only driving 25-30 mph.i took the car to a ford dealer to have it inspected for a cost of $125.of course, they said everything was fine. Ford probably told their dealer to keep silent on this issue.within a few months, this same thing happened again while trying to stop on very a rough road. Fortunately, again i was only driving about 25mph.now, this was getting a little frightening so i researched the internet and concluded that it was an issue with the hcu.on 10/23/15, i had the hcu replaced by a ford dealer for a cost of almost $1,200.problem solved...at my expense.funny how the ford dealer couldn't trouble shoot this issue.
Brake pedal fade.when applying brakes, pedal goes almost to the floor resulting in panic type reflexes.have had issues not being able to stop in allotted time.has happened in the past, but seemed to have "corrected" itself.recently have had snowy, wet road conditions and issue has come back.very unsafe, could result in an accident, could result in injury and/or death.read a lot of complaints about same issue.this should be investigated and recalled for brake failure.this is a definite safety risk, not only for the occupants in the ford, but also for any vehicles and/or pedestrians in the area when brake pedal fails.mileage on said vehicle is 142,977.not sure of date when first happened.pedal fade when at stop, trying to stop, city roads, highway speeds, basically anytime brake pedal applied.
I received a recall notice from ford (#19s54 / nhtsa #19v-904) regarding the hydraulic control unit / anti-lock braking system. After an anti-lock brake incident, the brake pedal requires additional distance to start braking and it takes longer to stop. This has already happened twice in the past, and i am currently experiencing the issue after the abs activated while trying to stop on ice. Previously i took my car to a mechanic who was able to temporarily restore full brake function, but this time that temporaryfix didn't work. I live in wisconsin (winter time) and it is unsafe to drive this car with the limited brake function, especially if i need to stop quickly to avoid an accident.i've been trying to work with ford via their customer care line call center outside of the u.s., but they have been unhelpful as the recall is in the "advance notice period".the representative said i needed to have a ford dealer diagnose the issue to ensure it was related to the recall.i did this and the dealer confirmed that it matched the recall.they contacted ford corporate to determine the next action, and ford stated that the fix and parts for it are unavailable until late 1st quarter 2020.ford suggested that the dealer complete an advanced diagnosis process to determine the issue, at a cost of $300 to me. I am unwilling to do this, as there is no step towards fixing this after spending the $300, and ford may not reimburse this cost. The dealer cannot help, unless i choose to spend my own money and hope that ford will reimburse me for the costs. Ford call center managers have been unwilling to help as well.i have now been without a car for 2 weeks, and it appears i may be until march. This is unacceptable, and ford's unwillingness to act on this safety issue is appalling. Is there anything that can be done to help get my car safely back on the road sooner?
Brakes go soft had master cylinder replaced doing it again it's my daughter car why hasn't ford re-called them to really fix the problem.
Its the abs. I have changed the brakes gotten new master cylinder and i still cannot get full brake control. Still pushing pedal almost to the floor. My mechanic checked on this site which showed others with same problem. Which he stated is a factory defect.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 45 mph, the master cylinder and brake booster malfunctioned. The contact loss complete control of the brake functionality and had to engage the emergency brake to come to a complete stop. It was diagnosed that the failure was due to the master cylinder or brake booster control. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,597.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact had initially received a recall notice in 2019 for nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part for the recall repair remained unavailable. Recently, the contact stated that upon depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal intermittently depressed to the floorboard, without warning. The contact also stated that after she had the vehicle repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags) at mullinax ford of vero beach (488 us-1, vero beach, fl 32962) the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the dealer however, the dealer refused to service the vehicle for free under the recall, due to a failure within the center console of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Brake pedal loses almost all power when braking over small bumps or pot holes or on slippery surfaces. Faulty abs hydraulic control unit. Hydraulic valves gets stuck causing the issue to occur. Can lose complete braking power for days to weeks at a time
While driving about 5mph over a speed bump in my apartment complex and applying pressure to my brakes, i felt a slight pop feeling and the brake pedal suddenly lost brake pressure. I then had to apply greater pressure to the brake pedal to get the car to come to a complete stop. I proceeded to the stop sign and again applied pressure to the brake pedal, yet the problem had not corrected itself. I was concerned the brake fluid level must be low, so i returned home where i had just left. Upon looking at the brake fluid level, i notice that that the tank is full. I have no leaks. I started the car back up and pumped the brake a few times, yet the brake pedal continues to go to the floor of my car. I am now concerned to drive the vehicle because while the brakes still work, the car takes far too long to come to a complete stop. If i drive it to the dealership to be repaired, approximately 17 miles, there's considerable reason to be concerned that i could fail to stop in time if i need to stop suddenly.
When applying the brakes on a snow-covered road the abs turned on.after that event the brake pedal went very soft and did not stop the car.now the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor.it seems to be the same problem everyone else is having with the abs hydraulic control unit design flaw.
Whole brake system failed01/04/2013. Had whole system replaced at a cost of over $1700. It is happening again and ford wants me to replace the whole system again for close to $2000.00. I had them flush system which seemed to solve the issue for only a month. I am afraid i am going to injury myself or someone else. Is there any action i can take to get ford to admit there is a defect in there brakes?01/
After braking on ice, the abs engaged then the brakes became spongy and the brake pedal went to the floor. It was snowing very badly and the sponginess continued until the car sat still for hours and then the brake pedal pressure returned. Eight months later on a hot, dry day, while braking over a raised joint on the pavement, the abs engaged and the brakes again became spongy and the brake pedal went to the floor again. We came home and bled the brakes thinking the action of the abs might have agitated the brake fluid causing bubbles, but the fluid was not foamy only small amounts of air came out. But the brakes two days later are still spongy. We looked on the internet and found forum after forum on websites complaining about this same problem, but there are no recalls on this vehicle, but other ford vehicles have been recalled for abs issues. I am scared the brakes will fail when i need them the most.
Abs system engaged when coming to stop on icy city street; this was the first time in many months of driving that it had to do so. Immediately after that the brake pedal was extremely spongy and travels nearly to the floor on each subsequent stop. Abs does not engage and abs light does not come on. No evidenceof brake fluid leak, car calipers and brake pads all ok, master cylinder appears full.
Hit a pothole with right wheel during turn at intersection on a city street. Felt like abs system engaged but did not reset; heard loud crack. Brakes failed immediately afterwards. Peddle went to floor initially; continued to pump brakes until some braking ability returned. Drove slowly and experienced same at two more stops before having car towed to mechanic. Did not try to drive after turning engine off, however mechanic was unable to replicate any braking problems. A thorough inspection showed no apparent problems with brakes or system.mechanic did find note in computer log that abs had lost communication at one point.this happened nov. 4, 2016.brake loss has never happened before and has not happened since, and i haven't hit any potholes since.noted news story dec. 27, 2016 of other ford fusions having this same problem.
9/6/18 driving down the street approaching an intersection with the traffic light turning red. I ran over a pothole, the abs braking system kicked in, and all the sudden, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, causing me to run through the red light and nearly hit several cars. Had i not swerved hard left and into the grass median, i may not be making this report right now, and my family may be making funeral arrangements. This is not the first time this has happened. This is one of many. However, i was told of this website and told to report this dangerous problem in hopes that ford will put a recall out for this before someone gets killed if they haven't already. I had to sit in the median for a few minutes with my car turned off to gather myself, as i was a nervous wreck. I did notice that once i turned my car back on, i had brakes again, but they had to be pumped up in order to get a full pedal again.9/20/18 driving down the road that's currently being worked on by the city. They've grated the asphalt to prepare it for a new layer and adding a new lane. In doing so, it has made the lane you drive on rough. In following traffic, i always leave at least one to two car lengths between my car and the car in front of me for obvious reasons. When the traffic ahead of me suddenly stopped, my vehicle decided to keep going. I depressed the brake pedal, the abs braking system kicked in, and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, leaving me with no brakes!! i had nowhere to go, as there were only two lanes, one going north, and one going south. I had to gear down and use my emergency brake to stop. This is extremely dangerous, and someone is going to get killed!!! as soon as i can, this hunk of junk, piece of crap ford is being traded in for a honda!!
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when depressed. The vehicle was driven to a mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was an abs failure. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
While using the breaks hit a bump in the road then the break pedal went to the floorthe 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.
Brake pedal goes to floor making stopping difficult
I was driving on a slushy road and braked. The abs kicked in and now the pedal goes to the floor to stop. Research shows me this is an issue with 06-09 ford fusion's hcu.
As i came to an intersection, i was depressing the brake and the pedal went all the way down. Ever since then, i have to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor of the car in order to come to a complete stop. Every time the brake pedal is unpressed their is an "air" noise coming from the hood of the car. I have changed the brake fluid cap, bled the brake lines, changed the calipers, and even replaced the master cylinder and the problem is still the same: brake pedal has to be depressed all the way to come to a complete stop and every time the brake is unpressed it makes an "air' noise. My dashboard never lit up with a warning before this happened.
After the abs brake system engages one time the brakes go soft and mushy. You have to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor. It will not reset and go back to normal. It makes trying to stop very difficult and unsafe.
After applying the brakes in the rain and the abs activating my brake pedal has been soft since then. I have had the brake system power bled at ford and serviced with new brake fluid, that didn't solve the problem. I replaced the master cyclinder and that didn't help. I've inspected all the calipers and everything seems to be working fine. After doing research i've seen numerous others have had the same problem. I also seen that you all have a current investigation against this condition. Pe 16-017. I would like to see i can get added to this complaint as i believe that ford has an issue with its hcu and this is an unsafe driving condition.
Once around april 27th or so i was driving on the highway to go to dallas. Traffic was slowing down so i applied my brakes, the car did not stop right away. I began to panic and began to pump them and the car finally stopped about a foot behind the car in front of me. Then on another occasion, on or about july 13th i was driving on a street near where i purchased the 2008 ford fusion. As i approached a red light i began to apply my brakes but the vehicle did not stop it began to click and was already past the corner, i looked over my left shoulder and traffic was starting to come my way so i let up off the brakes and accelerated.i am very afraid and have called ford motor company that said there were no recalls on the brakes for my vin. I hope i don't have to be a statistic before the do something about this dangerous safety issue with this car. I just bought it 11 months ago, so i have a long time to pay for it.
I had to make a sudden deceleration on roughed up asphalt ( city street in preparation to resurface). Abs kicked in for a moment, then my brakes went out. Pedal would go to the floor without stopping my vehicle. Luckily i was only going 10-15 mph and no cars in front of me so i was able to pull into a parking lot using my emergency brake. Parked for roughly an hour, pumping brakes that slowly regained pressure, before i was comfortable attempting to drive again.. Seems fine now, but after reading about the issue, i know it very well will probably happen again. Who knows when or how fast i could be going, but the fix is $2000 which i am unable to afford.
On december 27th 2019.my daughter slide into the back of another car and she complained the breaks were taking to long to come to a complete stop.the car was totaled and on january 23rd, 2020 we received safety recall notice 19s54/nhtsa recall 19v-904.had we received this notice before 12/27/19we believe repairs would have prevented the accident and the car would not have been sold for parts.
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.
Came to a stop at a stop light and brakes feel soft and spongy.after the car stopped the car started going forward while the same amount of pressure was being applied to the brake pedal.had to apply more pressure to get the car to stop moving.sometimes when the brakes are applied now it feels like they are going to the floor and i have to use more than normal force to get them to stop the car in time.no leaks found and fluid levels look good.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal became soft and traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The contact had to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called village ford (11660 se north, us-441, belleview, fl 34420, (352) 233-2900) and was informed that they could not schedule an appointment because they were too busy. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure the failure mileage was 142,741. Consumer stated since this incedent, i've had two more, the dealership said it was beakes, but it only happens with an abs event. Check out abs module.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while slowing to a stop from approximately 45 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to operate as intended. The contact stated that on several occasions, the vehicle required an additional effort to depress the brake pedal when attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the front and rear brake pads were replaced however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
While driving on an icy street i had an abs event where the abs engaged but then immediately thereafter the brake pedal felt very soft as if there was little or no brake.i pulled to the side of the road and after pumping the brakes to test them the pedal never regained its prior feel.i was able to get the car home and then tested it again the next day.at first the brakes seemed back to normal but after pressing them hard enough for the abs to engage it again loss pedal and felt soft.no accident occurred as a result but we have not driven the car since
On october 30th 2019 my break was sinking down and was not able to stop in time so i hit stop sign. Since this incident, october 31 2019, the abs module was replaced. The problem continued , i had both calipers replaced, both rear struts replaced. The problem still exists and the brakes have been locking up when the anti-lock brake is engaged. I have taken to two repair shops and they have not found any codes or reasons . Why would this be happening, is it related to the abs hydraulic control units recall?
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the pedal was soft and spongy. The contact pumped the brake pedal a few times and the brake pedal returned to normal. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
Brake pedal excessive travel and on a few occasions went to the floor when hard braking on highway nearly causing an accident.
I have been having problems with my brakes since april 2019. At that time, a new brake master cylinder was installed.when returning home from oklahoma city ok on 12/30/2019, my brakes failed. It is a 3 1/2 hour, 215 mile trip from oklahoma city to my home in hutchinson ks. Thankfully and fortunately or i wouldn't be here to send this "incident information", my brakes did not fail at highway speeds. I was traveling on city streets at 30-35 mph when they failed. I have had a new master cylinder installed but my brakes still do not feel right. Today, i received notice about the nhtsa recall 19v-904. Since i have already experienced brake problems, i would like to have my vehicle repaired asap because i am terrified of driving it at highway speeds.
Brakes began to travel to floor cutting down reaction time, but would stop car if plenty of time was available. Research showed in jan, 2020 that a recall had been initiated for defective hcus that causes brakes to go to the floor to stop. Car could not be safely operated and oxmoor ford dealership was contacted numerous time, but they stated they couldn't do the repair because ford had not provided them parts. This continued for 6 months and car could not be safely operated. In july an online appointment with oxmoore ford in lou, ky was made for july 13, 2020. The car was dropped off on sunday night to be worked on monday morning. Approx 4 hours after the appointment time, dealer called and said car was ready. When we went to the dealership, they advised that they didn't have parts to fix the car. We refused to take it back, informed them it was dangerous to drive, and demanded it be repaired per the recall. A couple days later, dealership called and said they could not get parts to fix the recall and doubted if they could fix it for months. We then informed the dealership that we will not accept the car until it's repaired and that we were filing a complaint with the us transportation board and seeking an attorney. At the time of filing this report, dealership has yet to respond. Numerous attempts to contact ford re: this met with negative results.
Driving on a city street, 40 mph, light turned yellow, and i hit the brakes.the abs fired and car stopped.after driving a block or two i needed to brake again. When i hit the brakes the brake pedal went down almost to the floor of the vehicle before they "grabbed" and the car began to slow.i was in the middle of an intersection before i came to a complete stop.subsequently, over the next couple of days, the brakes felt very soft and sluggish.my first thought was that i did not have enough brake fluid, so i checked and the fluid was flush with the fill line.after a few driving trips the brakes started to feel normal again.until i had to brake suddenly again.again, the abs fired and the car stopped as expected.immediately after the brake pedal felt loose and the brakes felt soft.i took the fusion to a ford dealership and asked them to look at the brakes, mentioning this problem.i was told that there was no problem.i am now hesitant to drive this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard and vehicle stopped slowly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called west herr ford of rochester (4545 w ridge rd, rochester, ny 14626, (585) 352-1200, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 84,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The recall for the abs was sent to notify ford owners in late december 2019. When this notice was sent the paperwork stated that a remedy would be found by "end of first quarter 2020". It is now november 8th, 2020 and there has been no update that there has not been a remedy made available for these owners. If we want to be technical end of first quarter of 2020 is march, we are now approaching 8 months past that official notice. I would like and i am sure other owners would like an update as to when the remedy will be made available. I have had many issues with my breaking system and had to have parts of the automatic breaking system replaced due to this recall while having to pay for it on my own.
The first time my brakes went mushy was when i was driving and had to stop suddenly the abs activated then after that the brake pedal became mushy and the car was hard to stop without pumping the brake pedal, it remained that way for a short time.the next time it occurred was driving on a rough patch of road, when i touched the brakes to go over a pothole at a slow speed the abs kicked in and the brakes turned to mush again making it hard to stop after that.both times i was on main streets in the city and it is very scary when your vehicle decides it doesn't want to stop very easily.i believe this needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or worse.
Spongy brakes - they go to the floor before they stop - mechanic said master cylinder and brake pads are fine- brake lines have been bleed and it did not fix the problem. The consumer requested information concerning the vehicle's brake issue. Updated 03/27/2017
The brakes suddenly go soft when stopping on uneven surfaces. The brakes also have gone soft when braking in a turn.
Re: investigation opened 12/20/16 on 2009-2011 fusions for soft brakes after abs deploymenti suggest you add the 2008 year model as i have been experiencing the same problem.one month ago, the shop replaced the master cylinder to "fix" the problem, which worked until yesterday when the abs activated again.
The contact called on behalf of his mother who owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being driven at 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. There was also an engine oil odor in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle was subjected to nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the parts for the recall repair was not available. Bell ford located at 1200 nj-27, colonia, nj 07067 and malouf ford - lincoln, inc. 2210 us-1, north brunswick township, nj 08902, were both contacted and it was confirmed that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,348. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
On oct. 10, 2018, around 3:30-4:00 p.m. On a busy city street---it was rainy day-- ,i had to lam on my brakes to keep from hitting a person who stopped suddenly in front of me when the traffic light turned.i heard a 'pop' sound.after that,i discovered i had no brakes. I was able to get home. At first i figured i had a master brake cylinder problem or a leak. I had a new brake master brake cylinder put in and the mechanic discovered the problem was not the master brake cylinder. He checked for leaks in the line, and there were no leaks. He said it was probably the abs 'and that i should take it to a dealership.i did so. They checked it and said the abs gasket had cracked and that a new abs had to be put in. The estimate was @ seventeen hundred dollars.i was unhappy.i contacted my insurance company and the representative was most helpful.idetermined after research that as of april of this year (2018) some one million ford fusions were/or have been considered by the fed relative to brake failures.most of those cars, however, had more than hundred thousand miles. My car has only 57,218.2 miles, as photographed and established by the dealership and the insurance company. My insurance policy wouldn't cover this repair because it is termed 'mechanical.'it seems to me that the abs shouldn't have failed in this case-- a car with so few miles on it. . any help would be appreciated.
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.
For around 8 months, often while braking my brake pedal will lose pressure and go almost to the floor.it doesn't lose all pressure but makes for a difficult stop.this has caused me several times to almost rear end other cars and not be able to slow down enough while taking corners.it happens in motion highway and city. More so on bumpy roads or harder braking.my mechanic, which is at a ford dealer checks everything out for me every oil change. He states that there are no leaks and the master cylinder if functioning properly. I believe it was the hydraulic control unit that he suggested could be the issue. There are numerous complaints online about similar year cars having the same issue.i consider this a serious safety issue, i believe the reason i haven't had an accident is that i'm used to the issue now, but i believe it's a matter of time before an accident happens.

Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Several near miss accidents occurred with my 2008 ford fusion, after my brake pedal went "soft", the car took longer to stop in most driving conditions, particularly slippery, snowy, roads. The brake would require to be pushed nearly all the way to the floor to successfully stop. The brakes would require this no matter what speed i was traveling it, particularly very dangerous on highways. The brakes being in this condition led me to not use the car on highways or in slick conditions. As a result of these brakes, i had to have my car serviced and have the abs pump & master cylinder replaced, leading to $1,700 repair. My local mechanic mentioned that ford has seen this occur on numerous occasions in fusions, yet has not put a recall out. As a driver with two small children, i was unable to use my fusion for 3-6 months during any slick road conditions due to the bad brakes. I had numerous near miss accidents occur. I would like for ford to be investigated on this part and be refunded for my cost of repair if it is recalled.
Yesterday i was turning left from a 2 lane road onto the one lane street where i work and had to brake suddenly because a car was stopped at the entrance to the road. I believe this engaged my abs. Immediately after that, my brakes suddenly required me to push my brake pedal almost to the floor to engage it. I brought it to a mechanic this morning and they recommended i replace the master cylinder but that there is no test to know if that would even fix it. I googled this issue and come to find out it is a very common issue with a faulty hcu in all 2008 ford fusions. I do not understand why this known issue is not a formal recall as it is putting people's lives as risk including mine. Also, because it is not a formal recall, people are wasting hundreds of dollars on master cylinder replacement when that does not fix the issue at all. Please get this extremely dangerous issue addressed so everyone with a 2008 ford fusion gets the hcu replaced and can brake safely. Here are some links that describe this exact same issue on other ford fusions.

When braking, particularly on uneven surfaces and/or when cornering, the abs system, or some component causes the car to vibrate or pull the vehicle left, and it makes noise. Sometimes it is reluctant to brake at all. On one occasion while approaching a red light at an intersection where the speed limit is 35 m.p.h., i crossed uneven pavement. I applied the brakes but nothing happened. I quickly pumped the brakes and they responded just in time. On another occasion traffic slowed unexpectedly due to construction at a city street intersection, again 35 m.p.h. Zone. I pressed the brakes but nothing happened until the brake pedal hit the floor. I stopped just before striking the car in front of me. I was not speeding at the time of either incident. At a service on 9/28/16, at rusty eck ford in wichita, ks, my service advisor gave me the standard information about the service, and included the fact that my brake pads were nearing replacement. This was not surprising. I believe i mentioned one incident with brake shuddering while braking on an uneven road at that point. What he told me next though shocked me. He explained that, based on his conversation with the service technician who had driven my car approximately 100 yds., that i would probably need to have my brake master cylinder replaced in the near future. This made no sense because the car is in excellent condition, is garage kept, dealer serviced, and has less than 100,000 miles on it.his comments started to make sense when i learned that my make, model, and year of vehicle was under investigation by your agency for this brake problem. I am willing to aid your investigation as best i can, because it seems that this is a very real and dangerous problem, and that ford has been aware of it for at least some time.
While turning into driveway where there was a manhole cover which created a minimal bump in the roadway, the brakes went to the floor.the car was barely able to stop as normal.since then the brakes are very spongy and low to the floor.the brakes returned to normal after driving again but then the same thing happened again.again it happened while turning and braking while going over a small pot hole entering a freeway onramp.a mechanic says it is due to the hydrolic control unit.
Brake pedal collapsing before brakes engage. Replaced vacuum booster and master cylinder in attempt to repair. Slightly improved but condition still exist, diminishing brake effectiveness. I relied on reputable shop for these repairs and spent $700 for only partial improvement. Google search indicates a failure in the abs valving. Unknown if abs works in this condition. Abs was severely engaged within weeks before failure. See the following from google of: "2008 ford fusion soft brake pedal. This video describes all circumstances perfectly, other than on this car, the brake pedal is constantly diminished at any speed whenever driven. Never as good as it was up to this past winter, please watch:ford fusion: low/soft brake pedal at times - youtubevideo for 2008 ford fusion soft brake pedal▶ 6:41https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r46_unyyk8note: both myself and my brother [xxx] are on the title and i handle all matters to maintain the car.

While hitting a pothole or driving on a wet surface and using the brakes the brakes lock up and the car slides before coming to a stop. After this happens the brakes are very spongy and go all the way to the floor when being pressed. When this happens i need to swerve around other vehicles to avoid an accident. I believe this is an issue with the abs.
Concerning:manufacturer recall number 19s54nhtsa recall number 19v904parts were supposed to be available first quarter of 2020. Still nothing. Is there any accountability?
Extended brake pedal travel
The brakes are "spongy", slow to stop, go to floor, etc. The pads have been replaced, rotors/drums serviced, fluid checked. All is in good repair but problem still persists. This happens whether driving on surface streets or interstates, on dry and wet roads. It's been a problem for almost a year. I was recently advised the brake booster needs to be replaced but while researching the cost of this, i came across many other complaints of the same problem, spanning several model years. This is obviously a factory defect that ford motor company needs to address and issue a recall on.
After sliding on loose gravel and having an abs episode my brake pedal never returned back to normal. My pedal now goes to the floor causing me to have to pump the brakes to come to a stop . This also happened last year but after a few days my pedal returned back to normal . I cannot use my car and this is a very costly repair .
I was traveling at 65 mph on the highway and had to stop quickly which engaged the abs. After abs engaged, the brake pedal became much looser, where the brake pedal would almost touch the floor and required much longer distance for the car to stop following this event.it appears this failure in the brake system is due to the abs hydraulic control unit causing for very unsafe conditions in this vehicle.
Hydraulic control unit causing soft brake pedal after an anti-skid event.braking is delayed and pedal travels is almost to floor.
Ever since i had to slam on the brakes to avoid someone else getting in an accident 6 months ago on the highway, the brakes have been very spongy. I have replaced brake pads and turned the rotors also bled the brakes. I can still press the pedal to the floor. Can't seem to find a fix. I'm a huge ford fan, but this is just embarrassing and extremely dangerous for such a popular car and company. Sack up and make a recall for those of us who are true ford lovers!

In 2008, on my 2008 ford fusion se 4 cylinder, the dealer i bought the vehicle from replaced the two rear caliper clips due to a loud clicking noise. I visited the same dealer i purchased the vehicle from on several visits since 2008, for the same problem with the front caliper clips, which have been making a loud clicking noise when going in reverse or in drive for two years now!i was told the mechanic didn't experience any problems during his test drive. I took the vehicle to two other ford dealers, they told me the mechanic's couldn't duplicate the problem. I was told by the last dealer, the breaks will make a clicking noise when backing up. I made another appointment with the purchasing dealer, and asked them why my 2006 ford fusion didn't have this problem? the service technician didn't have an answer.i'm going to inform them they have to drive the vehicle forwards and backwards several times to duplicate the problem. I'm also going to contact ford customer service in michigan to see what they can do. If needed, i will start contacting executive management, like i had to do on my lemon mazda 626 years ago. I got a mazda vp involved, and the whole dealership was jumping through hoops, and fixed the problems on the spot. I don't blame this on ford, i blame it on the vendor's that make the defective parts they purchase from.

Belt idler pulley attachment bolt broke off while negotiating a corner, detaching the pulley from the front of the motor causing sudden loss of power steering assist, alternator charging, and engine cooling.ford fusion equipped with the 2.3l motor.this issue has now happened multiple times, with multiple parts replaced each time in an attempt to fix the underlying issue.a quick search online reveals this to be a very common problem with the ford/mazda 2.3l 4 cylinder.
Over time the vehicle developed gradually more slackness and free play in the steering response.i initially attributed the condition to tire wear and vehicle age.eventually the condition became so serious that i was certain it was not normal, so i decided to try and diagnose the cause.upon investigation i discovered that the steering rack assembly was moving around on its attachments in response to steering inputs.i checked the mounting bolts that secure the rack to the sub-frame and found that two of the bolts were loose enough to be turned by hand and the third was broken and was just sitting in the hole.if i had not intervened, the condition would almost certainly have progressed to the point that the steering rack completely detached from its mounts resulting in total loss of steering control.

I had my 2008 ford fusion se checked out due to the rear tires were going bald. I have put 6 tires on the rear til the bodyshop put it on a light and said there was a bend in my knuckle assembly and my lower rear passenger control arm was slightly bent. My steering wheel turns to the left while driving and the wheel are straight. My back to tires needless to say bow out, and i continuously buy tires because the parts and labor are over 1000.00. Also the passenger airbag cover is loose and im afraid tht the airbag will pop while im driving.
08 fusion keeps having leaks and poppingcv anaxenow its pouring power steeringfluidagainwhen in gear
I have replaced the broken bolt on the idler pulley for the second time in 6 months. This is an annoying issue with this engine. Fortunately it happened on statrt up so we were in the driveway. Had it happened on the highway, the loss of power steering could have easily resulted in a fatal crash. The bolt is poorly designed and needs to be larger and or harder. If this is not fixed someone will eventually be killed. How many deaths does it take to warrant attention by ford???
Takata recall hard to turn when in motion stern wheel do not set right
Right side dashboard lifted up where the airbag is located.i took it to ford paso robles, ca they didn't have a solution to repair other then take it to an upholstery company maybe they could glue it down.doesn't seem very safe - the airbag could get caught on it.
I noticed the dash board around the airbag is separating about 2 months ago i tried to push the seam back down but it still puckers. Yesterday i tried to start my car and there was a continuous clicking sound coming from the dashboard and the security lock light and airbag light were flashing very fast. I just parked the car about 1 hour before and there was no problems until i came back to start it. I tried for about 1 hour but could not get it started. I have noticed there are a lot of complaints on this car and the same issues. This does seem like a recall issue. I wanted to support american made products from one of the oldest american auto makers. I am hoping you can fix this issue because i need to get the work and this is my only transportation. I live in an area where there is no public transportation. Thanking you in advance.

A few years back i got into my 2008 ford fusion and i remember it being a very hot summer day. I looked over at my passenger side air bag/dash board area and part of the dash where the seam is, was sticking out. I was able to push it back in right away but now i can't. The dash above where the air bag is just always sticks out now. I figured since it was so hot that day that's why it happened. I still have never been able to get it fixed and it doesn't seem safe to me. I've looked on numerous websites and have read that many other people with the same car and year have had this issue.
I have seen many complaints about the dash popping up around the passenger airbag. I have been having the same problem. What i want to know is why nothing is being done about it?my car is a 2008 i've had it for 8 months and about a month ago this starting happening.this is a manufacturers defect not wear & tear.
My 2008 ford fusion purchased brand new also has the bulging dashboard on the front passenger side.it not only looks bad but who knows if the air bag will even deploy in a front end crash?i have also has catalytic converter replaced and today i need a new output speed sensor to the tune of another $500 in repairs.car now has 130k mi.

Cracked dashboard that exposes the airbag.power train coil on damage.
Passenger side airbag dashboard has begun to separate at the airbag seam on the lower side and bubbled out, approximately 3-4 inches.
Dash around passenger air bag bubbling and popping out.
In the summer of 2013 i noticed that the passenger dash was coming undone (separating from the dash and sticking up) in front of the airbag of my 2008 ford fusion. The dash is now curled up so much that i fear that it may interfere with the deployment of the passenger airbag. At the time of this complaint, there are no known statements regarding the foam vinyl separating from the dash. I would like to know if any research has been conducted to ensure that this does not affect the deployment of the passenger airbag.

I cannot exit the vehicle driver's side using the inside door handle. I have to roll the window down and then open the door with the outside handle. This problem has occurred on its own. There was no accident or anything like that. It just stopped working one day. I have been on line and other fusion owners are experiencing the same problem and have contacted ford as i have and ford won't do anything about it. I feel that this is a serious problem in that, if i were in an accident, and the battery cable got cut so there was no power to the vehicle, i would have to climb over the center counsel to exit the vehicle through the passenger door if it didn't become inoperable in the accident. I would assume that this problem could also occur with the passenger door as well so i'm not feeling all that safe at the moment. I'm going to spend the money to get it repaired, but in today's economy, some people couldn't afford that.
Dash board around passenger air bag bubbling out, lifting up, air bag light stays on in car. Worried air bag might deploy when it's not suppose to or not deploy when i need it to.
The dashboard had begun to slightly bulge and has now peeled away from the passenger side air bag. After researching online, this appears to be a very widespread issue, of which ford has no remedy in place for except replacing the entire dash. For a car with relatively low miles over the course of ownership, this seems like an issue that should be corrected. I have no way of knowing how it may affect deployment of the air bag, and i'm not sure i want to find out.
The vehicle has bulging dash board at the passenger side /airbag case and the airbag signal is always on . I noticed it around 3 months ago. I brought the vehicle at dana motors in staten island ,was told no a recallon airbag and they do not fix bulging dash board..please help.
Dash is peeling, i know for a fact, there are many other cars have the same issue. Suppose, ford used some bad glue from mexico. Replacement is to replace the whole air bag?
I am the original buyer of a 2008 ford fusion se - which i purchased in 2008 - it now appears that there is a bulging near the passenger air bag area on my car's dashboard.this appears to be a manufacturing defect since the car has never been in any type of accident.ford refuses to fix since car is no longer under warranty.i looked on line at it appears many other ford fusion owners are experiencing the same issue with the bulging dashboard.i am afraid this could lead to a deployment of the airbag.ford will have dashboard fixed for over $1,200.00 at my cost.how is this fair that i must pay for a manufacturing issue the ford corporation created. Can you assist in any manner.

The passenger side air bag, the dash that covers it is opening up. For a car this car that is from 2008 should not be happening . For the dash to becoming up like that to where you can see the air bag is really bad. What happens if the air bag goes off and gets suck on the tip of the open dash someone could get really hurt or even die. I did take it to the ford company and they said that i would have to pay close to 1,000 dollars to get it fix and that it would not count as a recall. I have not got it fix and i am hoping that it does not get worse as time goes on.

For no apparent reason, the hood latch opens.the first time it was noticed on the expressway, it can unlatch on a secondary road, most recently it was noticed by a neighbor after the car had been parked for several hours.the safety catch always catches it so it hasn't been a major problem yet, but i don't like pulling over on the side of the freeway.this has been happening more frequently.the safety catch prevents this from being a major problem, but it could potentially be a serious issue for someone whose safety latch did not hold.

Had several incidents with my brakes not working properly after abs going on by hittin my brakes on a bumpy road or uneven gravel and in rainy weather, my brakes went soft and low and i would have to press the brakes all the way down to the ground for my vehicle to stop. After pumping the brakes and stopping a lot of times the brakes would go somewhat back to normal, recently i pressed my brakes in uneven gravel and i almost ran into a construction post because my brakes gave out on me and went soft and low, so i had to turn my vehicle to prevent me from crashing, my brakes have been low and soft ever since and i drove my vehicle several times after that incident and my brakes have not returned back to normal, im trying to figure out this issue and believe it's extremely dangerous, i take care of my vehicle it looks brand new still and i always take care of it, i just don't understand why this is happening and almost caused me to crash into a construction post, i believe from researching that others with the 2008 ford fusions are experiencing the same problems.

Driver's interior door latch broke.this is a common problem on this car from my research.this is also a safety issue.the only way out of the car is by lowering the window and opening the door from the outside.in the event of an emergency, this may not be feasible.the 2013 fusion has the same problem and this was a recall.why not on the earlier fusion.repairs cost owners over $300.

The youtube video ford fusion door latch problem by oldfredsshed 3:22 minutes describes the problem exactly i'm having with my inner doors latches on my 2008 ford fusion. The doors handles are breaking and i think this is a design flaw. I googled the problem i'm having with my door handles and many people are having this same problem.i have contacted the ford motor company and they say this is not a recall or warranty problem.citrus ford wants me to pay $265 just to replace one handle and i think this should have been a recall item. This is a safety issue.in an emergency and you can't open the door and with power windows and no power this could be a matter of life and death.

Driver's side interior door handle failed and would not open door.had to power window down and open from exterior.would be a safety issue if person needed to exit vehicle quickly.noticed there were several complaints under both "latches/locks" and "structure" that were the same or similar.i didn't check other model years, however since the failed part fits several other model years i would think there would have been many other complaints on this issue.
Passenger door latch/lock broke, unable to open door from the inside. I have own this fusion since 2008 this is the third time a door latch/lock has broken. The previous two times have been on the driver side, first time mileage was around 40,000 second time was around 80,000.

The contact advised that the interior door handle was replaced several times; however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact also stated that the repair for nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair.

My wife parked her 2008 ford fusion in our garage and as she tried to exit the vehicle the inside left driver's door handle would not open the door. She tried to open the door several times and almost panicked. She was trapped inside. Fortunately her car is equipped with a microsoft sync system and she was able to call me inside the house from the garage. I came to her and was unable to open the door from the outside because the driver's door lock did not automatically disengage when she shut the key off. She rolled down the window and i reached inside to test the inner door handle and lock. The lock was stuck and the handle just moved freely back and forth as i pulled on it. Finally, after wiggling the inner lock back and forth many times i was able to disengage the door lock. I then could open the door by using the outside drivers door handle. She got out of the vehicle and i proceeded to examine the door mechanism. I removed the cover plate and saw that the plastic actuator arm on the inner end of the door handle had broken in two and part of it had gotten caught up in the locking mechanism. So i came inside and searched on-line to buy a new replacement handle. During my search i discovered that people all across the united states are claiming that this seems to be a common problem with several different years of ford fusions. Fortunately for my wife she wasn't involved in a major accident and couldn't get out of the vehicle when the malfunction occurred but i believe it's just a matter of time before something tragic happens as a result of this potentially defective part. I feel that even thought the vehicle has high mileage this part should never fail. This actuator arm is just a very, very, thin piece of plastic and i suspect that all four inner door handles of the ford fusion are of the same design.
Used interior handle on a ford fusion 2008 in a normal manner, and it snapped off. The car can no longer be opened from the drivers side.after a search online, it appears this has happened to numerous people.
The inside driver door handle broke on the inside of the door and i was unable to open it from the inside or lock my driver door.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that after the dealer performed the passengerā€™s side air bag recall repair, the passengerā€™s side dashboard and air bag compartment was separating. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.
I had my 2008 ford fusion se checked out due to the rear tires were going bald. I have put 6 tires on the rear til the bodyshop put it on a light and said there was a bend in my knuckle assembly and my lower rear passenger control arm was slightly bent. My steering wheel turns to the left while driving and the wheel are straight. My back to tires needless to say bow out, and i continuously buy tires because the parts and labor are over 1000.00. Also the passenger airbag cover is loose and im afraid tht the airbag will pop while im driving.
Cracking and creaking underneath when temp outside is above about 70 degrees, very loud, possible struts, when turning wheel left or right also very loud creak or pop. I looked online and there are 100's of these issues reported. This has to be a recall, safety issue

2008 ford fusion.front wheel bearing failure at 31,000 miles.
My wife and i rented a 2008ford fusion from thrifty car rental on april 20, 2009. I became concerned having hearing a progressive noise emanating from the rear of the vehicle. Arriving in orlando fl i had the vehicle looked at by a service station. I was informed that the rear tires where unsafe. Thrifty office was informed and had no explanation. I took pictures of these tires. At 75 mph my wife and i could have been killed if these tires had ruptured!!!!
We purchased the used car for our 16 year old daughter at the end of december 2012. Over the first year of purchase, we noticed that the dashboard started to lift up around the passenger air bag. We checked with the ford dealership to see if there was a recall or a fix for it and they said no. He said the entire dashboard would need to be replaced because it is defective - very expensive. I was more concerned about the passenger airbag deploying, but again he said that there is no recall. July 2016 i saw some other ford fusion owners had complained about their dashboards as well, so i thought i should file a formal complaint too because it is such a strange defect.
I own a 2008 ford fusion and the door cable has broken three times. I have to let my window down to open the door from the outside.god forbid if i get trapped and cant open my door.also my wheel bearing has gone bad and i noticed on other reviews this is a problem with ford fusions. Please check into these matters. As you desire to protect the consumers i wasnt to protect my family.
Passenger side door will not latch, which prevents door from closing.
Dash on passenger side is pulling away from air bag, was so bad you could see the foam underneath.no recall dealer will not fix, i refuse to purchase a whole new dash.used gorilla glue to hold it down, with the heat up here in far northern california it's starting to pull away again.also due to the heat up here the defroster vent has broken and popped out of the dash.using glue to hold it in place as well.
Dashboard around the airbag and defrosting agent is bulging and coming apart. I feel that this would be a malfunction if the airbag were to be deployed causing serious injury or death.
Drivers side door lock became inoperable. Drivers side door will not lock using the lock switch or the lock button on the key. The only way to let yourself out from the drivers side is to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. The only way to lock the drivers side door is with the actual key itself. This is very inconvenient and dangerous i feel if i were in an accident. Also, my 2008 fusions air bag on the passenger side dash is starting to lift away. Anything to due with my family's safety is a big deal! these things are dangerous and need to be recalled and fixed!
The door handles keep breaking. They are made of junk plastic and i have had to replace 3 out of 4 door handles and the driver door 3 different times now. I also have a friend with a 2012 fusion with the same issue. Please recall these crappy parts ford!
Takata recall:the airbag is opening. Also the long bar on the dashboard close to the front window, the left side has popped up.there was no accident!
Dashboard peeling back in front of passenger side airbag.very common issue for 2006-2009 fusions which ford refuses to acknowledge as a safety issue or offer repair without significant cost to owner.dashboard peels back and bubbles in front of where passenger airbag deploys and may cause interference with airbag operation.this is not an isolated incident or result of improper care by owners, the problem is too widespread.this should be a recalled item or fix.
Drivers interior door handle broke. There wasnt any warning, it just no longer worked. In order to open the door, the "lock" release has to be pulled. When researching the repair, i found mutiple links regarding the repair with numerous moments of defect. Anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000miles for points of failure. One person even explained that now he can replace his door handle in less than 30...since he has done it so many times. Most recently the ford f 150 had a recall...for broken interio605-r handles.
The passenger side airbag is bulging from the dashboard causing the widows to fog. Also while driving parts of the dashboard flew off which could result in injury or death if this issue is not resolved promptly
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 45 mph, a deer struck the contact's vehicle. Neither of the front air bags deployed. The vehicle sustained front end damage to the radiator, headline assembly, bumper, and motor. The body damage was not repaired. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The contact's mother took the contact to the hospital due to injuries to the right forearm, thumb, and right shoulder. A police report was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Upon exiting my car there was a crack in the door handle.the door was unable to lock and unlock,and sometime very difficult to get in and out of the car, this is a safety issue.i took it to the dealer and i was informed the door cable broke.this should be investigated as a defected part.i was telling some other about it and they told me the knew other ford owners who had the same problem with their fairly new car.
The check throttle light came on. Then like about an hour later after driving my car won't start while driving on a city and i pressed on the gas it was having trouble pulling off then when i got home it just completely shut off
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.
The inside door handles break very easily have replaced twice. When broken and have to wait for replacement the door will not lock even manually and i feel unsafe due to someone having access to car whilr at stop,light or when parked in public areas
I just had a wreck got hit on the left front side ofmy car i notice that my airbag didn't come out on the other cars they did
This past week my car has been driving rough (sputtering) and seems to notice it more when driving on the highway but there are times while driving on city streets you can notice it (hear it and feel it) too.my tires are good, last year already had the pcm (major control module) replaced ($2,700) along with all the coils and spark plugs, and also pcu replaced and replaced my hcu ($1,500).so what the heck more can go wrong with this car.trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with this car now.
My driver side door will not open from the inside. Thru extensive research i have found that this seems to be an issue on the fusions years 2007- 2012 models. It seems to be that a crack forms in the handle causing the cable to come out of place. This happens when the car is stationary.
A recall was issued for our 2008 for fusion concerning the abs system. This recal is nhtsa 19v904. We have recieved postcards from ford motor company concerningthis critical defect in the brake system numerous times in the past 2 years, this problem has not been resolved and i feel the car may me unsafe to drive daily.the master cylinder has been replaced to try and remedy this problem over 2 years ago.still, brake travel and fluid has lost pressure many times since while driving. The local dealer , nor ford motor company,will not comment on the recall nor the repair that is needed and estimated time this will be.
Air bag is lifted on passenger side of vehicle & the ceiling is coming down in the rear window.both serious safety issues.
"takata recall" the door handle on the care is broken which enables me to get out of the vehicle. Which to me is considered a death trap. I have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside or have someone open it for me. My air bag is also raising out of the passenger side. This scares me. On hot days i fear that it may just explode due to the heat. Which may be a hazard to others and i.
The ceiling cloth material located above the rear window is falling down which is now a safety issue, i am not going to be able to see out of the back window soon
Cracking and creaking underneath when temp outside is above about 70 degrees, very loud, possible struts, when turning wheel left or right also very loud creak or pop. I looked online and there are 100's of these issues reported. This has to be a recall, safety issue
My cars abs light goes on and off and sometimes when pushing the brake pedal it is soft and i have to push it hard to stop
The dashboard is bulging it doesn't look good and it doesn't feel safe. I wonder if it would activate correctly at an impact during an accident or if it would activate while riding down the road. It started on the right side passenger and it has slowly moved to the left side driver. This started happening over 2 years ago and it's slowly become worse. Ford needs to be held accountable for the fix this is cosmetic but it also is functional with the airbag right behind it where it started.
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
The dash pad surrounding the passenger side airbag is bulging upward.
On the passenger side of the dashboard where the passenger airbag, and the dashboard meet, the dashboard has separated from the airbag compartment resulting in a bell shaped curve rising approximately 1 1/2 inches above the airbag deployment compartment. If the airbag were to deploy, it could be affected by this amount of risen dashboard.i've also seen this in other 2008 ford fusions. Sent letters to ford, and they refuse to help out.
My dashboard is separating from the car.it is getting so bad that now it is separating from where the passenger air bag is at.the other issue is that i have in the passenger door an imploded airbag that has caused a bubble in my door.my car has not been in any form of accidents for either of these items to occur.as for my airbag that has been on recall for 21/2 years and has yet to be handled, yet my brother in law and my cousin have both had their cars fixed (not fords) which makes me wonder what the issue is.
Takata inflators- been waiting for years for ford to replace. Safety issue for passengers.
The dashboard warped and the affected areas are the center dashboard and the passenger side. The airbag light is still on after getting the airbag recall fixed.
I was driving home from campus and my suspension started acting up. It started firing up and down and fluctuating a lot. I had to pull off the highway and take backroads. It was still acting up the entire time. The "check engine" light and "wrench" light both came on simultaneously. I could barely go over 35 mph without the rpm flaring up past 5000 and it felt like my whole engine was going to give out. Even when i was going 20-25 mph, it felt and sounded like i had the pedal to the floor. The aaa guy who towed my car said that i had the same transmission part number as a 2010, which got recalled for faulty transmissions. My car only has 40,000 miles on it so there is no way i should be having issues with the transmission unless the part is faulty or it is something i am unaware of.
When the abs is engaged, brakes go soft/are lost. This has happened 3 to 4 times so far. So when the abs activates, i lose about 80 percent of my braking capability and have to push the brake all the way to the ground for it to even slow down the car. It does not even stop the car, it just slows the car a little bit. The car then needs to be restarted for the brakes to work again. The most recent incident of this was in washington dc. The abs engaged on a city street and the car rolled into the intersection because the brakes failed. There was no collision but only narrowly.
The drivers side door handle has broken once again...i replaced it last year and had to again this year...this is a safety hazard: as if i was to be involved in a car accident i would have to roll down the drivers window to be able to open the door. To my understanding ford has recalled a few of the newer models due to this issue..
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. While driving 55 mph, he stepped on the accelerator pedal and it became stuck.while having his foot on the brakes he pulled the floor mat back with his foot and got the pedal became unstuck.

Car was a loaner from local car dealer during work on my car. During drive in residential area the accelerator stuck causing loss of control and jumping curb, hitting street sign, retaining wall, light poles and finally a house. From police report: "there was tire scuff and skid from front right wheel/tire in road indicating a power-brake wheel spin. At point of rest wheel appeared to continue to spin because it dug into the ground." no citations given, car was totaled.
My car wouldn't accelerate, then my check engine light comes on. Within 20 my car completely shuts off. Had to tow it to a mechanic, to tell me the computer system in my is burning up the coils in my engine. I called the dealership to see if there was a recall on this, and there was not. In fact as i look on the internet i have similar stories about the exact same problem. I told the dealership that and there was nothing they could do. Also on this site i reading how some of them the dashboard curls up, mine is also doing that. I bought this car brand new, just paid it off and this happens. I even finance through ford, you think they would try to help.
Gas pedal was stuck to the floor causing acceleration. Brakes worked but cars gas pedal was stuck.
The problem initially began because i had to brake hard to avoid an accident on the freeway and the brakes failed. After restarting the vehicle the brakes went back to normal. A week later as i was driving down a street, i braked normally to pull in to a business parking lot and the brakes failed almost completely. The pedal went down to the floor and would not stop the vehicle in a safe distance. Also, they had a spongy feel. They would not properly grip until i turned the car off and then on again. Had there been another vehicle in front of me i would have hit them, or if this happened on a local freeway here in houston, tx it could be potentially fatal. After researching the problem, i learned that many other individuals have had the same exact issue. The problem appears to be a faulty abs modulator.
Was in 4th gear, all of a sudden, the speed started to increase without me touching the peddle. Shifted into neutral, rpm's started to rev, all of sudden, rpm's dropped and the car shut off while i was on a main road.
The contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. After jump starting the battery, the vehicle would not accelerate.

I started my car and it sounded & seemed normal.however, after driving less than 2 miles, my engine suddenly decelerated and the rpms dropped dramatically.i tried to accelerate and it would not increase speed.iwas able to get off the road safely.i had to have my car towed.the mechanic determined that the problem was due to a faulty power train control module which impacts the ignition coils and the estimated cost of repair is $2100!one of my ignition coils was melted. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin on this issue, however, they do not deem this a safety issue!cars that just stop running or decelerate quickly is most definitely a safety issue.i can think of many scenarios where this issue would cause injury or perhaps even death.had i been on a freeway or driving at a greater speed where there was more traffic, i could certainly have ended up in an accident with another vehicle.i researched this concern and found that i am not alone and there have many others affected by the same exact situation.ford is of the opinion that this should be the responsibility of the car owner and they do not hold themselves accountable.i understand how warranties work and i realize that cars age.however, this issue has nothing to do with wear and tear or age.this is a faulty piece of equipment that is causing a safety issue when it hampers a vehicle's ability to continue in a forward motion at a normal rate of speed.any help you can provide on this issue would be appreciated.
While driving the vehicle lurched, lost power. Wrench lit up on dashboard. Had to pull off road, turn off car. Waited 5 minutes, proceeded with drive. No further incident occurred. Took to dealership and was told the repair would exceed in excess of $900. Was told the pcm or throttle body needs to be replaced.if there is a known issue with an extended warranty but not our vin number, why was that warranty not extended? and what about all the people driving these cars with this problem has anyone been hurt yet? if ford doesn't want to pay for the fix they should at least give people a warning regarding the issue.
On 2/17/2014 this vehicle experienced a "limp mode" condition. The vehicle was on a high speed road and was able to be safely removed to back streets.the vehicle would not accelerate beyond 20mph.the vehicle was put into park, shutdown and then the key put into the on position paused and started.problem seems to be resolved.in november the vehicle experienced two situation.1. Limp mode - was unknown at the time so the floor mats were removed2. Acceleration - the vehicle appears to accelerate on its own.not from a stand still by while in motion.
Unintended accelerationwhile slowing down (rolling with my foot feathering the brake) to park in a stall at my local post office my 2008 ford fusion instantly accelerated jump the curb crossed the sidewalk and hit the building. The car continued to rev spinning the front wheels until i shut it off with the key. I verified there is nothing blocking the pedal and the floor mat is secure and clear of the accelerator. I had my foot full hard on the brakes and was unable to stop the car. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

I was driving down the road with cruise control set to 60 mph when the wrench light came on and i had limited power. I then pulled to the side of the road and had to turn the car completely off. Restarted the car and everything was fine so i thought. It keeps happening. One of my friends told me that ford has been having this problem so i looked it up and sure enough there are many that has had this same problem. I am filling this out in hopes to not only get my vehicle fixed but to also save a life! i have a little one that rides everywhere with me. This is a safety issue that needs to be fixed immediately!

Wheel studs are twisting off and stretching when putting the lug nuts back on at the recommended torque of 98 lbs. Studs appear soft. I see ford had issues on the 2010-2011 fusion and milans. Appears to be same issue. Many studs can only be torqued to 80 lbs.service provided by theisens service center in dyersville ia.that very week theisens had a 2007 ford fusion in with the very same issue. Hmmm sounds like a very valid concern.
