It's been years since ford told us about the recall, and they still don't have parts available to fix it. They also won't get a rental car for us when they acknowledge that it's dangerous and that we should 'leave our car sitting' until it's fixed. How can someone leave their car sitting for years?? ford should be required to start actually fixing these cars.

Takata recall. My vehicle has an airbag inflator recall as of june 1st 2016. A vehicle with a safety feature defect is not safe to drive, and loaner vehicles are not being issued. Why am i subject to injury or possible death because of a faulty part that hasn't been replaced? my car is not safe to drive because of the takata recall, and there is not yet a remedy for the recall. It's been 15 months since the recall was issued, and nothing has been done. I've been told by a ford motor company customer service representative and the customer service manager, that there is no issue with the vehicle and it is safe to drive. Which is wrong because if everything was fine then there wouldn't be a recall on it. And why is it that ford isn't giving out loaner or rental vehicles to consumers who are affected by the recall?why is it that nhtsa and honda advise that their vehicles effected by the recall only be driven to an authorized dealer for repair, but for fords nhtsa says they are safe to drive? it shouldn't matter what make or model, if it is affected by the recall then it isn't safe to drive. I should not be expected to drive an unsafe vehicle, just because the parts aren't available. That is putting so many lives at risk. I, as should others affected, be issued a loaner or rental vehicle at the companies expense, for having a defecting part in their vehicle. We shouldn't have to wait around like a sitting duck hoping that nothing happens. This needs to addressed and fix right away.
Failure of ford motor company to obtain replacement and remedy the defective airbag in a timely manner.

Takata recall.received recall notification in mar 2017 from ford.search of vin on safecar.gov shows remedy not yet available.contacted dealership, they have no expected date for remedy and have received no guidance from ford manufacturer to date.this is unacceptable.ford is supposed to be working on supplier for this recall, yet seems to be doing nothing.the nhtsa also has not initiated inquiry as to why ford has not yet started to work on this recall - also unacceptable.this is a serious recall, i wish someone would make ford act.now receiving bankruptcy notices from takata informing me that i may not have any remedy after all. Someone needs to make ford step up or create an exception for vehicle owners to have airbag switch installed on their vehicle. I will be contacting my congressman on monday about the switch exception - i suggest everyone who owns a ford fusion 2009 do the same.there is no fix on the horizon and no one seems to be working to address this issue.

Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is abs module and/or abs hcu (abs pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until i py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the same issue (spongy brakes, abs module failures). I have also been unable to obtain the recall replacement for passenger side airbag as they are short on parts.

Takata recall.vehicle stationaryon january 18, 2019 the passenger air bag inflator was replaced under the 18s01 recall, ford part number 8e5z 54044a74 ad.on september 10, 2019 brought car into local quirk ford dealership for service because air bag cover was no longer was flush to the dashboard.ford service said problem was due to "worn dashboard" and not covered under recall.see first attached picture.called ford customer service on sept 11, 2019 was told problem was not covered under any recalls or any warranties,case numbercas-24226208-s8r0v4.my concern is that by having an open corner (see second attached picture) foreign objects could accidentally fall into this space without the drivers knowledge (ie. A penny, dime, etc) and if the air bag deployed a serious injury could occur.specifically, foreign objects could become air borne when air bag deployed.a small piece of metal like a penny or dime could cause fatal damage to the passengers in the car if air bag deployed.not sure if this should be covered under the original takata recall or if another recall should be issued.in any case i believe this is a serious safety issue which should be brought to your attention.

Takata inflators have not received any free replacement of my air bags. It's been since july 2016. I've called everyone. Dealer say they don't have the parts.filed complaints at ford corp. As well.
Takata recall. The passenger side airbag cover is half lifted up and is extremely dangerous. Could inflate at any time. No remedy yet and i'm extremely concerned this will inflate while we are driving in the car.
The entire dash board is lifting from its original form. The storage/glove compartment won't even open anymore due to the dashboard lifting. My a.c. Has now stop working and when i took it in for service i was told it could be part of the air bag issue. The vent that is located towards the windshield continues to fall out and now just goes right through it. The vehicle has not been in any major accident or damage in the front to trigger the bag to go off just yet. I notice this about a year and half ago. I contact ford in el cajon ,ca and they told me i would have to pay to get it diagnosed and if they can prove that it is the air bag i will get a refund but if not i'm looking at $2500 to put everything back together and potentially fixing everything else. Imade numrous calls and i am still awaiting for a response

Takata airbags - we got a recall notice last july from ford about these dangerous takata airbags. I have been calling all three ford dealers in the fort worth texas area for the past four months about these airbags. I get the same answer over and over "we don't have the parts". Meanwhile we are forced to drive around in this extremely dangerous vehicle. Why can't they put airbags from the new cars into our defective cars?
"takata recall" so far the passengers side airbag has not deployed, however ford sent out a notice in july of 2016, and still does not have a time line on when free airbag replacements will be made. Ford has been traveling at a snails pace at getting this problem rectified. Mean while its a load gun sitting on the dash board with the hammer cocked ready to fire at impact.
I received a recall notice about the takata passenger airbag in my ford vehicle more than 1 year ago.i have contacted the local ford dealer repeatedly and have checked the ford web site online, and they both say that parts are not available to repair my vehicle. After entering my vehicle information at https://www.airbagrecall.com, i was also advised that the recall is incomplete and "remedy not yet available". I was also advised, "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the nhtsa vehicle safety hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or tty: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with nhtsa."therefore i am filing this online complaint. At this time, i would just like to have my vehicle's passenger airbag replaced in a timely manner.the date i am giving below is the date of the original recall notice. (july 1, 2016)
My passenger airbag is coming out of the case.i have been calling toms ford in hazlet for months and they just keep telling me there are no parts.

Took vehicle to be repaired for previous airbag issues and the light has come back on while driving on a city street in rockport, texas and never went back off.
I was contacted by mail to tell me there was a recall on my air bag in march 2017. The letter stated there is a chance of metal shards deploying with the airbag. I have children that ride in my vehicle everyday. If this could be solved in a timely manor that would be great!
Deer strike font end traveling about 40 mph,, 9 year old in passenger seat, air bag did not deploy as required , she was too light., damage to front end bumper, hood, and grill.upon repair i noticed that the dash board just below the passenger air bag had been buckled andpulled away from theair bag cover.the body shop told me that there was no way to repair this except replace the entire dash board and then there was no guarantee that it just would not happen again.body tech told me that repair may interfere with the operation of the air bag deploying as well as leaving it alone. This is a known design issue with ford fusions and there are no service bulletins or recalls. Insurance would not cover repair since it was caused by heat on the dash and there was nothing to glue the dash back on. Google'd the issue and there are hundreds of complaints on line all over the country. Anything that has a potential of air bag operation is a critical safety concern.

Have a recall of vehicle for over two years and no results
Takata recall - after receiving written notices of the recall, i approached my local dealership about the repair (koons falls church ford). I've called several times about making an appointment and having the part ordered to only be told "they don't have a record of if". I called today, after i was told the part should have arrived a week ago, and was told that they didn't have the part and had no way of knowing when it would come in. And that "given that the company's recently gone out of business" i should expect it to be quite a while. When i mentioned that i was concerned about the safety of my vehicle, i was told that the recall only impacted my passenger side and to not sit there.

Takata recallthis recall has been known since june 2016, and there is still no resolution for my vehicle.i've been told replacement parts are still not available.
I received a letter stating that there was a recall on my car due to the passenger air bag but the parts to replace it are not in, i want to disable the air bag to avoid possible injury until it can be fixed but the dealership will not do this until the company will authorize it. The recall describes personal injury or possible death as a result of the defect. I do not want to drive my car and if i am injured or die as a result of this....my family will sue the heck out of the company and the agency overseeing the industry. Just give dealerships the permission to deactivate the passenger side air bags so we don't have to ride around with miniature ieds in our dashboards or compensate us for rental cars.

The vehicle has not been in an accident where the airbag has deployed, but i am scared what will happen to passengers in the car if shrapnel is sprayed.

There has been a recall on my airbags but there hasn't been a solution. It's been a few years and it doesn't make sense to drive this car anymore. I expect either my airbags be fixed immediately or funds to go towards a different car, considering the airbags aren't safe.
Takata recall - we have been waiting months for the dealership to get the parts in to repair this airbag safety recall. What am i to do if something happens to one of my family members in the meantime. When will the dealership stop telling me that they are still waiting on parts. This is ridiculous.

Takata recall:this recall was issued more than a year ago (june, 2016).a reasonable amount of time to fix the recall i would imagine to be 6-9 months.it has now been 15 months.i do not find this reasonable.i called the local dealership and was told that there is no fix available and no eta.how long does a company have to comply with a recall fix?
My daughter rear ended another vehicle and pushed that vehicle into another vehicle because her brake pedal went all the way to the floor and failed to stop her vehicle.she repeatedly mashed the brake pedal with no response. The air bags should have deployed and did not.she was driving at about 45-50 mph on the highway and traffic stopped in front of her. She was driving carefully because it was in the city and had been raining. She was not following too closely or going too fast for conditions. Her brakes failed.even though ford says this vehicle is still safe to drive until the parts come in for the recall, it is not. This is a dangerous vehicle to drive until ford can do the issued recall for the hydraulic brake valve. They still don't have the parts as of the day i'm typing this complaint. Recall number 19v-904. I have made state farm aware and they are performing investigations. I have hired an attorney because my daughter is not at fault. I have reported the incident to ford and they were not helpful. She was cited in the accident and there are claims for injuries and damages.*dt*dt*dt*dt*dt

Takata recall - january 2017 recall notice received, still no remedy available as of october 28, 2017.
I was given back in march 2017 a paper stating my airbags on my 2009 ford fusion were defected. Months later in approximately october 2017 i received a post card stating tk holdings inc is filling bankruptcy, whomade my cars airbags. The post card also stated ""if your vehicle contains a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator and is under recall, contact your nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair". When i called the ford dealer this december stated they would fix it when they get the parts in. I have been told this since i first called back in march too. It is a huge safety risk to be driving my car, if the airbags do not work properly. This needs fixed as soon as possible, but ford is not helping at all and will not replace these in a timely manner. This is unacceptable and a safety risk.

Takata recall
Takata recall. Vehicle was stationary. I received a recall notice june 2016from ford saying the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash. I still have not received a replacement airbag for the passenger side and it has been well over a year. I made an appointment to see the ford dealer and went to the ford dealer november 1, 2017, and spoke to a female to have them look at my ford fusion 2009 car as the air bag on the passenger side is trying to come out from the dashboard, and we have not even had a car accident/crash. She told me that they still didn't have the replacement airbags which i already knew.i wanted them to look at the passenger side of the dashboard to see that the airbag was coming out of the dashboard which i think is dangerous as i was told by another male over the phone previously that it was dangerous and that i should make an appointment to have it checked out. They would not even look at the car.i had to tape down the area on the dashboard where the airbag is trying to come out of the dashboard. They wasted my time coming to see them and they knew what the situation was about as my wife had explained it to them over the phone when she made the appointment for me.

I received a recall notice for the passenger seat airbag from ford in 2017, and according to the notice, one of the manufacture near me will contact me to schedule an appointment.

Takata recall. I was contacted over a year ago that my airbag inflator needed to be replaced. I was put on a wait list for this part to become available. I called my dealership again today, and i was told that the parts are still not available. The dealership told me that they do not know when the part will be available, and it will honestly, probably never get fixed because takata has filed bankruptcy! i live in louisiana, which is a high priority state due to our hot and humid weather.i find ford's handling of this dangerous problem to be completely unacceptable! my family / children drive around in this car, and now, we are actually in more danger if we do get into an accident!

Takata recall- airbag-update on complaint # 11062997, filed1/16/18- airbag replacement is still not available, local ford company can not order-i do travel to humid area (al.),i have been authorize to rent a vehicle, but my private car insurance will not cover, mechanical break down, diminish value, and lay up time,hence i will be out a daily amount of money.there appears no end in site , and i do not have the extra money for added insurance for a lengthy period i have not experience a failure-but feel unsafe using my car with anyone in the passenger seat. .
My dash board is separating from the air bag.. Very scary... Also my door handle is broken... I can no longer lock the front driver side door so i am never really safe in my car... I think the dash board should be a recall cause i know the ford place gets complaints all the time for it happening to people all around. It's not our fault the dash board is doing that, and there is nothing we could have done to prevent it. It very unsafe. They should want to make ur customers happy...

Recall for abs was issued back on dec 18, 2019.last update is there was supposed to be a fix expected by end of first quarter of 2020.it's now the end of first quarter of 2021 (15 months later) and there is still no indication of a repair date.in addition there is now a safety recall regarding the driver airbag as well.i understand it takes time to implement a fix, but it seem as if the manufacturer is not putting enough priority on getting these repairs done in a timely matter.at this rate, with two active safety recalls, either fixes need to be expedited; or an acceptable buy-back plan that ensures owners are compensated for the full vehicle value plus time and risk.
Takata recall.i contacted my local ford and they explained that they did not receive the parts for this replacement so i'm not sure what to do about the defective airbag(s).there is a claim form online but i am unclear as to whether or not i should submit that or just take my car to the local dealer.

We got a notice on july 2016 saying we had takata airbags and it had a nhtsa recall 16v-384. I have called both locally here in texas and in detroit and they continue to tell me they don't have the parts to fix the car. When will they fix this car?
Takata recall: i have been entirely unable to obtain service for this recall for over one year. Every call to the dealer is rebuffed with the message that i must be a crank of some kind for wanting this recall service to be done.

Takata inflatorsi am trying to remedy a recall on my vehicle and have been told by the dealership in which i bought my car that i am unable to do so because the manufacturer is not providing the needed equipment or parts.in the recall description it says that if the airbag deploys the passengers could be killed, how am i supposed to feel comfortable driving myself or my young son around in a vehicle with such issues? plus, apparently this was first an issue back in july of 2016, so i am not exactly sure why there isn't a solution to this issue yet.

Tamara recall
Takata inflators: i verified my vehicle as one with a takata airbag recall. I called my local ford dealer and was told to registrar with the www.airbagrecall.com, to get the replacement parts. The dealer said they were out of parts. I went to the web site and there is nothing to register. I called the number 888.327.4236 and also got no response. I called the dealer back. They checked the same web site and saw that i was correct and unable to order parts for my vehicle. I was told i would just have to wait until more parts were available. Now, clearly, i'm getting the run around. The dealership is whites ford in urbana, ohio. 937.653.5279. 1246 n.main st., please explain to me how am i to get my vehicle repaired before i'm involved in an accident?

Takata recall in 2016 i received a recall notice for my airbags and have not received any assistance to get this fixed.
"takata recall" - personal vehicle is not disabled but how can a top tier vehicle manufacturer be allowed to defer repairs regarding a "safety" recall for such a long period of time? very frustrating and dangerous for all concerned.

I have received a recall but no parts have been sent to dealership. Dealership said ihave to wait for a letter stating the part is in. That is wrong on all parties. If there is injury caused in my vehicle i will not rest until someone is held accountable. Takata should be making sure the parts are available there problem they need to fix it.
Takata recall - months ago, i have received the notice for owners of vehicles with takata airbag. I contacted my nearest dealership in tuscaloosa, alabama. However, they said that they do not have airbag inflators, also, they said that i should wait until ford sends a letter to notify me that i can get a free repair.i only want to be sure thatmy car does not contain an effective airbag and if it does, i need to schedule a free repair as soon as possible.
Takata recall: i received a letter about the recall and that i would be contacted when parts were available. Months later i have now gotten a letter saying no parts are available so ford will provide a rental car, but when i called the dealer they said they could not do that because the recall is years long. So it seems i am just driving in a known unsafe car with no recourse

Ireturned to them for servicing until 10/30/20014 (21,646 miles) for servicing.

I had received a recall notice in late june 2017 . I contacted ford dealership for service ,they told me they did not have parts or any loaner card .i called for service 2times telling them this was my only car and i was scared to drive it,,!! well i was in a minor accident on july 24 ,2018 where i was severally injuried due to this faulty air bag ,was hospitalized and still have medical injuries ,,and ford not air bag company will help with hospital bills ..please help me
Takata inflators. I received a card in the mail that said my car was under a recall alert.i called several repair shops in my area as instructed on the takata recall page online and was told the replacement airbags weren't available anywhere. I was also told the repair shops have been waiting a very long time for the replacement parts.
Takata recall--ford motor company has suggested that no one should sit in the right front passengers seat because the air bag will not deploy if there is a collision. The vehicle has never been in a collision whereby the airbag deployed. Ford motor company is dragging their feet in getting replacement parts and has not offered to remove the air bag while waiting on parts.
Takata recall - i have been having trouble with ford motor company in poughkeepsie in getting my airbags replaced.i have been put off each time i call - they state that they do not have the parts.this has been going on for at least a year.the new date they gave me was to call back on november 1, 2018.
Takata recall. I was first notified of this recall almost one year ago. Upon calling them and calling the dealer, i am told parts still not available! and no one knows when the parts will be available. This complaint is regarding this recall - there has been nothing timely about getting this problem resolved.

Takata recall air bags still have not been fixed due to lack of replacement parts.abs braking system, brake pedal goes soft after hard breaking and turning, car continues to roll with very little stopping power.once car was shut off and turned on againpedal came backand stopping power came back to normal.the vehicle was in motion on a city street in a drizzling rain and swerved to avoid a car thatattempted to turn in front of me, i hit the breaks and swerved to avoid an accident, then when approaching a light approx. 3 blocks away, the pedal went soft and i coasted to a stop.this continued for the rest of the ride approx. 2 miles.i reached the destination and shut the car off, when i came back to the car i started it and the breaks worked fine for stopping from that point on to my home. I had to ride the break pedal for quite a distance before stopping when the pedal went soft.there was no accident however it was a very tense drive not knowing if i would be able to stop my vehicle and hoping that nobody would cut me off and i would need to stop quickly because that was not going to happen.i noticed there are many complaints regarding this and i feel that ford should be recalling and replacing the parts necessary at no cost to the vehicle owner. According to a ford tech it is the abs control valve, and it is a costly repair.
Takata recall -- i have repeatedly called my local ford dealership about having my airbags replaced and each time i'm told that ford doesn't have the parts available to fix my vehicle.meanwhile, i've received notice after notice about how anyone who rides in my passenger seat is at risk of dying a tragic, painful death until my airbag is replaced, essentially rendering my car worthless if i can never put anyone in the passenger.there's a total lack of transparency and urgency from ford.i never receive communications from them with any updates.
Takata recallstill no fix on the airbag.this angers me greatlyhow many more people have to get hurt or killed before ford takes care of this problem.no rentals available so stuck with driving an unsafe vehicle

This safety air bag recall (17v024) began january 10, 2017.here we are at almost november of 2017 with no solution of getting my vehicle repaired.this is the vehicle my wife, our daughter and myself use regularly.the recall indicates the air bags could deploy improperly, so why does the manufacturer continue to put our family at risk?please get the replacement parts to our local dealer so we can get our vehicle repaired asap.
Takata recallwe have tried to get our airbags replaced but ford does not have the parts available and will not supply a rental car in the interim.we don't feel like the car is safe for our daughter to be driving and want the matter resolved.
This may be a huge coincidence but immediately after being sideswiped with only passenger side view mirror damaged, the driver's side door would no longer open from the inside.we thought it was related to the impact on the passenger side but this seems to be a recurring problem with ford fusions.we have to keep the motor running, lower the window and reach out to the exterior driver door handle to open the driver side door.this should be a ford recall item.for awhile the airbag light will intermittently stay on while driving.

"taking recall" i have a ford fusion effected in this recall i'm being forced to stop working in transportation because i can't pass transportation safety inspection for commercial use. I don't have the means to buy another car and no one will help me because the parts don't exist yet. By law if they can not fix it shouldn't they have to replace the vehicle. So now i can't provide for my family !
Takata recall.it was my understanding that older models in the south would have the takata airbags replaced due to the increased danger with higher temperatures.there has been absolutely no sign that airbags are available for replacement, even at this time in 2017, and after a resident of this area was killed due to the problem.
Takata recall. Why has ford not yet replaced/repaired my airbag? i was notified years ago of potential death from exploding airbag, yet ford has done nothing to rectify this.

Takata recall. I initially received a recall letter from ford dated march,2017 which stated that when parts are available i would be notified that parts are available at which time i would contact the local ford dealership to have the issue corrected.i received no other correspondence from ford in 2017. Then this year in 2018 i received another notice from ford, stating the i can contact the local ford dealership and they would provide me with a rental vehicle until the parts come in for repair.i then called ford of murfreesboro in murfreesboro, tn so that they could provide me with a rental vehicle until they are able to replace the defective air bags. I was instructed by jonathan greene in their shop to email him photos of all 4 sides of my vehicle, along with aphoto shot of the vin plate and photo shot of the odometer, which i did on june 12, 2018.i did that as instructed, but i never heard back from him. I then re-sent the email to him on july 3, 2018, but as of this date, i have heard nothing more from ford or from the ford or murfreesboro dealership. Therefore i still have the defective airbags in my vehicle, waiting for a crash to occur.it would appear that ford would want to take care of this asap in order to avoid a catastrophic occurrence and possible suit, but no, i have had no further response and no indication of concern on the part of ford.

Takata recall:we received a notice on july 23, 2016 that our passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture and send metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death.we've called our local ford every few months since then to see if they have a replacement air bag.we just called again this morning and were told that the replacement was still not available and "parts to be determined". We've been driving an unsafe car for 16 months with no replacement in sight.can you do anything to speed this up?

Takata recall... My daughter went to pittsburgh to attend school and uses our ford fusion. Well over a year ago, she received a recall on the airbag. She is afraid of driving in this death-trap with friends but ford - after more than a year -- still won't give her a date for the repair. The whole family is scared for her. I had a gm product that had the same problem and they were able to make the fix several months ago. Can you help her get the proper fix in pittsburgh before she and her friends are seriously hurt or killed in this ford vehicle? ford keeps dragging its feet and does not seem to care. Please help! i look forward to hearing from you. Much thanks, [xxx] [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

Regarding recall nhtsa recall 17v-024.have contacted ford motor numerous times with the same response; no parts available at this time.this response is unsatisfactory.i feel they are not looking for replacement passenger air bags due to the year of this vehicle.someone needs to light a fire under them to get them to take responsibility and resolve this issue.
I keep getting recall notices from the ford dealership, valvoline oil change, and other sources telling me there is a recall regarding the airbag.whenever i ask the dealership, they say funds for the repairs have not been authorized yet.i was notified during the winter, and told repairs were expected in the spring.in the spring i checked back, and was told summer was expected.in the summer i checked back, and was told the fall.now it's the end of october, and nothing has been done.i've also heard of other recalls being on file, but nothing shows up on a vin search.

We have two safety recalls on our 2009 ford fusion dating back to december 2019! any idea of when these will be addressed as ford says working on a solution!!
Dashboard is bulging as well as passenger door. I am assuming it's because of he issue with the airbag. I am concerned that the airbags will deploy and cause injury it death to my family. I have read in the forums that ford is not covering the bulging dashboards if out of warranty. Obviously he issue with the faulty airbags is causing dashboards to bulge. They are bulging for a reason and many people are worried for their safety. This is an urgent issue because no one knows how long the dashboards will hold in these faulty bags. Also we have yet to hear from ford about the tak at airbags and any recall or remedy situation.
Ford still does not have a remedy for this situation.this is taking too long!

Takata safety recall 18s01: i purchased the vehicle 6 months ago. I recently received the defective airbag recall notice dated feb 2018.today i had the vehicle appraised to see if trading it in was an option. The cash value i was quoted vs. The payoff amount is over $5,000. The availability for replacement airbags are estimated to be a year or more & priority has been given to dealerships located in the south. I can't sale the vehicle because of the defect, but i'm beyond afraid to continue driving the vehicle because of the defect. I'm disabled, recovering from a recent craniotomy & the medical facility is an hour away. I'm in need of a safe & reliable vehicle. Ford motor company isn't offering any compensation (timely repairs, replacements vehicle, loaners or even a partial refund to assist with the trade-in value). My auto insurance coverage can't get involved because it's a recall. Ford motor company has instructed dealerships not to remove the airbags because the risk is greater. I now have a vehicle that (do to no fault of my own) i've made all of 5 payments on with 42 more months of financing & interest that i'm obligated to pay that's parked because it can't be repaired in a timely manner & that can't be safely driven because of a manufacturer's pre-existing condition.what am i suppose to do with this vehicle now??

Takata inflators i bought my fusion in 2013 . Maybe about a year and a half later one day my airbag light came on out of the blue. My car warrenty at the i believe expired. I took it to a ford dealership and was charge i believe $99 for a diagnostic. I maybe wrong i may need to find the report from back in 2014 but i believe they said it was a bag air installed in on passenger side and it would be 900 to fix. I said no because i was a student i couldn't afford that. I have just accepted the fact it was no good. I then see this recall i got notified on and it got me wondering.

Replaced vehicle battery on 12/30/2013. Check engine light came on before the car was even removed off of the auto center premises. Service center ran vehicle diagnostics check and reported p2112 error indicating an issue with throttle body. Ford dealer ship said the throttle body needs to be replaced which isn't cheap. Faulty electronic throttles are causing these problems.

I was parking my 09 fusion at my son's preschool, and was almost stopped in the spot, when my car violently and unexpectedly accelerated forward up over a 4 inch curb. I pressed on the brake as hard as i could, but it was the tree that i hit that stopped me. There was no damage to the car, but i had both my children (4 years old and 11 months old) in their car seats with me at the time.this is the second time it has happened while parking. Both times i was going less that 10 mph and was almost at a complete stop when the car unexpectedly lurched forward. Will not put my children back in this vehicle until this problem is fixed; is not drive-able.
I had a history of recurring problems with my 2009 fusion. The battery died over and over again, causing me to finally replace it. The car constantly threw errors regarding low tire pressure. But the largest problem happened when we were driving down a two-lane highway at roughly 55 mph and the steering wheel suddenly became unresponsive and locked, causing us to hit first the concrete divider on one side of the highway and ricochet across and hit the metal safety rail on the other side. The car was unresponsive to braking. The car hit head-on both times and was completely totaled. I remember frantically trying to open the doors because i was sure was about to explode.this is an incredibly frightening experience for me because there was literally nothing we could have done to prevent it. We weren't speeding. There was no inclement weather. No one was distracted by their phone or the radio. No one fell asleep. A driver behind us who stopped described how the car just suddenly veered out of control. It is difficult to describe the terror you feel when you are behind the wheel of a car that has completely stopped responding to anything you do. It is scary to think how easily we could have crashed through the metal guardrail and fallen to our deaths, yet there isn't even a recall in effect. I am so extremely lucky that no other car was involved in the accident, but this is incredibly dangerous.
When driving at a normal speed, the idle of the car quickly drops and you are unable to maintain your speed. You immediately are forced to stop the car, turn it off and let it sit to reset it's self where ever on the road you are. This has happen randomly last few weeks. Just a few days ago it got increasingly worse. Was entering highway off an exit trying to merge. Was unable to get the speed because the idle dropped. Luckily had just enough time to get to shoulder to sit and wait. Had it been few seconds longer would of merged with highway traffic and then car would of came to a quick halt. The diagnosis to this problem the throttle body went bad.
Car was in motion on highway when it started accelerating on its on and eventually started losing power
I had exited the highway & was stopped at a stoplight in the right hand turn lane. Cars were behind me. When it was my turn to go, the car would not accelerate for me to make the turn. The traction light, wrench light, and engine light came on. I pressed down on the accelerator to try to move the car out of the middle of the 4-lane intersection, but it moved at a snail's pace maybe 4 feet from the turn lane. The car did not have the power to turn or even make it to the side of the road. My car was perpendicular to the cars in the 4 other lanes. I'm thankful i wasn't hit. I turned off the car and restarted it, but the same lights came on, the car was shaky, and could not accelerate. The police pulled behind me and she called the tow truck. The tow truck took us to the ford dealership. The ford dealership said the electronic throttle body has to be replaced, and was the cause of my car problems today. Thelady at the dealership said ford has had problems with the electronic throttle body going out in ford vehicles, including the kind i have- 2009 ford fusion.
The error code for my car indicated there was problem with the secondary air injection pump and the dealership ordered the part.when i went to have the part put on, i was advised i not only needed to replace the secondary air injection pump, but the air valve as well.since i was last there other customers were experiencing the same problem. And this problem was occurring because water was some how getting into the secondary air injection pump and working its way up to the air valve.therefore, they both need to be replaced and it would cost $700 plus fix.my concern is how is the water getting into the pump in the first place (is this a manufacturer defect?).and if it is, what is going to keep water from getting into the pump in the future?
There's was a fire that started on electrical wiring leading to my right front wheel on my 2009 ford fusion se v6 i think it was cause by the cruise control system that ford has been having problem withi was driving on the interstate when the fire happenthe minneapolis fire dept told me to have it inspected at a ford dealership.

I have twice now experienced a catastrophic engine/power train failure while at speed and in traffic.while driving and without any prior notice, my car immediately shuts down.during which the engine stalls, power brakes fail, and steering wheel locks.luckily i was in a position in traffic where i could quickly engage the hazard lights and allow plenty of reaction time for other drivers to avoid me.after the car has stalled and lost all power, that is when the warning lights (engine and wrench) come on the dash.each time it has taken no less than 5 minutes, while sitting in heavy traffic, to restart the car.when the car restarts it will drive like it did prior to the failure but the check engine light will remain on.this time i was able to bring the car to the local ford service department to have them diagnose the problem.after a full day of trying to recreate the issue (25 mile test drive) their recommendation was to take the car and continue to drive as normal until it happens again. After researching this site and several others, i have found that i am not the only fusion owner who has experienced this problem.i brought several documents to prove the issue has been recognized by ford (csp 13n03) and there is a fix for the problem.due to the bureaucratic nature of the conflictual relationship between the automotive industry and government entities, i am now left with a blunt refusal to remedy the issue with my car from the ford dealership because i do not own a 2010 fusion but rather a 2009.a model year prior to what ford recognizes has issues but i in fact have twice experienced the exact symptoms that ford outlined in their csp 13n03 document.at the end of the day i still have a very unsafe vehicle that is not fit to be on public roads because of the mass safety risk it poses to it's occupants (my children) and other motorists.

I'm getting a check engine light and a wrench symbol on my dashboard.when i take it to get checked, it says 'faulty throttle body' or throttle control actuator.this causes my ford fusion to go into 'limp home' mode.this is a mode that causes that car to accelerate no more than 20 miles an hour.the problem with this is that it happens when i'm in the middle of traffic, traveling at speeds of 55-70 miles an hour.when this happens, i fear for my life.when i contact auto care centers, they all tell me that this is a problem that has to be handled by the dealership.when i contact the dealership, they don't know what i'm talking about.i think that this throttle body is defective and after some online research, i see that i'm one of many ford owners that this has happened to.i would like a them recall this defective auto part.i hope no one has died from their car suddenly going into 'limp home' mode.

Ford has replaced by door mechanism twice now and yet the door ajar light would not go off.they then told me i needed a new dash cluster.while in the shop they found the wiring harness in the door had caused a short and fried the dash cluster.i could not turn off my doam lights and the alarm system kept going off at random. I kept waiting for all my digital instrumtation to fail.
There's was a fire that started on electrical wiring leading to my right front wheel on my 2009 ford fusion se v6 i think it was cause by the cruise control system that ford has been having problem withi was driving on the interstate when the fire happenthe minneapolis fire dept told me to have it inspected at a ford dealership.
During normal vehicle operation, the abs randomly turns on and off while driving, severely limiting my ability to successfully deploy the brakes and bring the vehicle to a stop. This began happening out of the blue 5 days ago. Road conditions don't seem to be a factor. It is occurring in wet and dry conditions and on both paved and rough roads.
My steering is hard to turn so.e time and my seat. Will not pull up in my car and gas i some time small gas
I was driving when my car entered "limp home" mode and failed to accelerate. I had barely enough time to move onto the side of the road from traffic.
While merging onto a freeway my car experienced a sudden loss of power while driving. Shortly afterwards my check engine light came on and i took it to the dealer to see what it was. It was a bad catalytic converter i was told that it would take 4 weeks to get one in. Meanwhile it being my only car i asked and was denied a loaner vehicle from ford motor co. And i was told that the vehicle was still safe to drive as long as i did not let it goo too long without the repair. I called back 4 weeks later and was told that it would be an additional 4-8 weeks as there were "no" parts to be found anywhere. This worried me greatly as they even said problems could arise if driven too long without being fixed. So i filed a complaint with ford motor company and was treated like crap by them. They told me they were willing to help but "not" willing to do anything. So i called a local news station who put me in touch with their executive offices where i got the same response. No loaner vehicle and no compenstaion for the extra gas i had to buy as it sucked it down. Whenever someone from ford's calls me i am lucky to get a sentence in before they hung up on me!thankfully to my contacting a local news station they made enough headway with ford that my part "finally" arrived today on 07/28/14 but i am extremely upset that ford would put me in the situation where myself and my family could be in danger by driving an automobile that is not safe. Driving with bad catalytic converters is not safe and could cause all sorts of other issues and the fact that ford's encouraged me to do so is frightening. This for one along with the gm issues has me seriously thinking of buying a foreign automobile for the first time ever. It was wrong what ford motor company did to myself and my family and i hope that this complaint will prevent them from doing this again in the future!
Heard about a recall on some ford vehicles over coolant leak i think my vehicle should be included in that my vehicle is leaking coolant but i can't tell where i have an 09 ford fusion 2.3 li i 4 cyl. Se model. Vehicle leaks when running of vehicle is off.
While driving in to work on multiple different occasions, the serpentine belt had come off. The power steering went out and the engine started to overheat. On 3 different occasions i have had my car towed to a shop to get fixed. Each time it was the idler pulley bolt being broken. This all happened while the car was in motion twice on the highway and once on a residential street. There is a loud clinking sound and the car growls.
When driving at a normal speed, the idle of the car quickly drops and you are unable to maintain your speed. You immediately are forced to stop the car, turn it off and let it sit to reset it's self where ever on the road you are. This has happen randomly last few weeks. Just a few days ago it got increasingly worse. Was entering highway off an exit trying to merge. Was unable to get the speed because the idle dropped. Luckily had just enough time to get to shoulder to sit and wait. Had it been few seconds longer would of merged with highway traffic and then car would of came to a quick halt. The diagnosis to this problem the throttle body went bad.
While driving my fusion which has had no mechanical issues up to this point slammed into 3rd gear followed by a rapid decrease in power and speed.the check engine light and wrench came on and pretty sure was in the" limphome" mode.took it to get the codes read and p 2104 and p0607 were present.
Smart junction box and transmission have been replaced.it's a new car with 37000 miles .
On 8/10/2014, after pulling out of the driveway, we noticed a reduction in acceleration on our 2009 ford fusion.the check engine light came on and upon taking the vehicle to autozone, the codes p2112 and p2104 showed up indicating a defectwith the throttle body.upon researching the internet we found the nhtsa action number pe13003 which indicated that there was a problem with this part on 2009-2013 fusions and that ford would cover the repair when the problem occurred.we took the car to southway ford in san antonio on monday, 8/11/2014.on friday, 8/15/2014, the ford service advisor indicated that the problem truly was the throttle body, but we were told that ford would not pay for this repair.we have brought this to the attention of the service manager at southway ford and to the corporate customer relations department at ford. Obviously, there is a defect in this part, which causes a potential life-threatening safety hazard but ford does not seem to acknowledge it and take responsibility for correcting the problem.

I have twice now experienced a catastrophic engine/power train failure while at speed and in traffic.while driving and without any prior notice, my car immediately shuts down.during which the engine stalls, power brakes fail, and steering wheel locks.luckily i was in a position in traffic where i could quickly engage the hazard lights and allow plenty of reaction time for other drivers to avoid me.after the car has stalled and lost all power, that is when the warning lights (engine and wrench) come on the dash.each time it has taken no less than 5 minutes, while sitting in heavy traffic, to restart the car.when the car restarts it will drive like it did prior to the failure but the check engine light will remain on.this time i was able to bring the car to the local ford service department to have them diagnose the problem.after a full day of trying to recreate the issue (25 mile test drive) their recommendation was to take the car and continue to drive as normal until it happens again. After researching this site and several others, i have found that i am not the only fusion owner who has experienced this problem.i brought several documents to prove the issue has been recognized by ford (csp 13n03) and there is a fix for the problem.due to the bureaucratic nature of the conflictual relationship between the automotive industry and government entities, i am now left with a blunt refusal to remedy the issue with my car from the ford dealership because i do not own a 2010 fusion but rather a 2009.a model year prior to what ford recognizes has issues but i in fact have twice experienced the exact symptoms that ford outlined in their csp 13n03 document.at the end of the day i still have a very unsafe vehicle that is not fit to be on public roads because of the mass safety risk it poses to it's occupants (my children) and other motorists.

I was driving stoped at a light. Noticed dark smoke coming from under the hood. Made my left turn trying to get to a parking lot just ahead. The smoke started coming into the car. It was smoking bad by now. I pulled over as i did i saw flames coming from under the hood. This is only a minute or two later. I got out of car called 911. The whole engine was burned up the front tires. Windshield was starting to crack and started melting. This was so scary every thing happened so fast and the gauge didn't show the car was running the slightest bit hot. With all that it seemed when i was slowing down for the light the brakes were starting to go out. There is only a little over 45,000 miles on my car. Now that i think of all this i thank god i didn't get into an accident and hurt or kill someone including myself. Cheryl from clarkston michigan
Herky jerky acceleration.dealership said it was a sensor.6 months later, same problem.dealership said a small oil leak burned through some wires.stated some sort of issue with a wiring harness.stated wiring harness needed replaced, but was virtually impossible to locate.brakes constantly need repairs/replacements.multiple times per year.
Electronic throttle body defective. Engine stalls, loses power, enters limp mode, and runs at reduced speeds. Especially dangers leaving an intersection, after being stopped, you can't rely on the vehicle having enough power to clear the intersection as oncoming traffic approaches. Always concerned about being t-boned.
Takata recall !!!!!!! the display panel warning lights come on and go off at will.mostly when its humid outside or raining. This is including the scary airbag light, oil light, engine light.i am stuck with the car since ford stated no one should sit in the front passenger seat. Has no value.and i pray every day it does not kill me!
I was driving to the dealer to have them check a tapping sound coming from the engine that i had heard earlier that day. I made it about 5 miles from home, and the engine had blown, no warning lights, nothing other than the sound that had just occurred that morning. Now i had made it about 90k after the new engine was installed (now at 139000), and again the engine has blown. This time it was a little worse, the car had a sudden increase of power, and then all the sudden there was a loud bang, and a cloud of white smoke followed by smoke coming from the hood and the rear of the car. When i pulled onto the shoulder i looked under the car and saw a piece of the engine fall out and then all of the oil as well. I take very good care of every vehicle i own, the first time it happened the dealership told me it looked like i hadn't changed my oil ever. It was just a sludge.
Car stalls while driving and everytime i do a complete stop, i've been looking online for a solution to fix my car and it looks like a lot of people has the same issue and nobody has a exact solution to the problem i already replaced the throttle body and egr valve but it still stalling.
I purchased the 2009 ford fusion for my 16 year old daughter's first car. It only has 68k miles on it so i was confidence that it would be a reliable car.after diving it for about a month the car started stalling and it was never consistent. About once a week the car would stall sometimes when pulling away from a stop sign or just driving at normal speeds. Then also sometimes it would surge. She said the scary part was when it stalls you can't steer or brake the car because of no power.after taking it to the repair shop several times they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. The dealership said it was probably the throttle body but could not say for sure and there was no recall on that part.this is unbelievable the car is not safe to drive and there is no recall! also, the floor mats where constantly getting stuck on the gas pedal and the car engine would race up and make it almost impossible to stop the car. So, the nice fusion mats are now in the garbage after almost killing my daughter.i would like to see ford take responsibility for these defects and fix them!
My daughter was driving her 2009 ford fusion to college orientation in mankato, mn.the car went into "limp" mode on the highway due to a defective throttle body assembly and ultimately stopped running. The issue surrounding ford's lack of commitment is that the throttle body defect is a known issue; reference consumer satisfaction program 13n03.the service manager and ford customer service said my car did not fall within the parameters of the replacement program.i have a case number from ford involving the defective throttle body, but nobody has followed up with me and i assume the case is closed.the service manager said he did not know why my car would not be covered since it's the same defect that's addressed by their customer satisfaction program.

I was driving down the highway in rush hour traffic at 70 mph when the wrench light turns onthe dans and the engine just quit. Very scary so i put on my hazard lights and coasted to the median . I tried to restart the car and the theft lock light started flashing and the car wouldn't even crank the motor. Had the car towed to a local shop it started right up at the shop and there were no codes in the computer the check engine light is on and the message center saya pod data error.
I'm getting a check engine light and a wrench symbol on my dashboard.when i take it to get checked, it says 'faulty throttle body' or throttle control actuator.this causes my ford fusion to go into 'limp home' mode.this is a mode that causes that car to accelerate no more than 20 miles an hour.the problem with this is that it happens when i'm in the middle of traffic, traveling at speeds of 55-70 miles an hour.when this happens, i fear for my life.when i contact auto care centers, they all tell me that this is a problem that has to be handled by the dealership.when i contact the dealership, they don't know what i'm talking about.i think that this throttle body is defective and after some online research, i see that i'm one of many ford owners that this has happened to.i would like a them recall this defective auto part.i hope no one has died from their car suddenly going into 'limp home' mode.

1.engine threw a rod resulting in catastrophic engine failurejuly 10, 2009:while traveling the i805 s in san diego, ca, the vehicle engine exploded without warning causing loss of vehicle control.no warning lights were illuminated, there were no noises, nothing to indicate what was about to happen. I was heading to work at approximately 1pm, with cruise control set to 65mph, when i began to near my freeway interchange.it's an area where two freeways meet and merging traffic is moving much slower.cruise control was disengaged and the vehicle gradually began to slow from 65mph.merging traffic was trying to move right to left and i was trying to move left to right; once i saw my opening, i pressed the accelerator pedal to speed up.instantly there was a loud explosion and the vehicle jolted. My first reaction was that i had been rear ended or hit by another vehicle.the vehicle began to 'buck' and threw itself into the lane to it's right.smoke was billowing out from under the hood and bottom of the vehicle.the interior hvac system pulled smoke into the passenger compartment during this time. I managed to brake and move to the shoulder, during this time there were bursts of power and then deceleration.when the vehicle was finally under control, my next thought moved to the fire danger it posed to the surrounding freeway embankment and residential areas above.i allowed the vehicle to coast down thehome ave exit ramp and parked it in the center of home ave.i literally leapt from the vehicle and ran to pull my school and work material from the trunk.i attempted to call 911 6 times before giving up and calling my work manager.he was able to get through to 911 dispatchers that eventually sent a firetruck.2.failure happened once3.ford replaced entire engine assembly and miscellaneous damaged components.

Please help.
I am writing in regards to the manufacturer recall: 19s54. How are these parts only available in the 1st quarter of 2021? it's now in the winter months in northwest ohio and i can't even brake my car safely in the snow and/or ice.

While traveling at 65 mph in traffic, the car completely shutdown. Dashboard lights appeared and the car lost all power, including power brakes and steering. Fortunately, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle while exiting the roadway. Due to the lack of steering and braking ability, i don't feel a person of smaller stature, i.e. My wife, would have been able to maintain control without being in an accident.
I decided to buy a new ford fiesta titanium 1.4i duratec petrol , engine number:8y00038 and color of my caris grey,on 1th decemberin 2008 in turkey in hatay ovaliford vehicle company ( 2009 model)..i paid 29,800 trkish lira( 17678 american dollar) for my car.i have got a lot of advantageswith new ford fiesta, for example exterior and interior styling, easy fuel capless refueling system with mis-fuel inhibit ,rain-sensing wipers, auto headlight. Trip computer, electronic automatic temperature control,cruise control etc. Finally,i have gota lot of reason to buy new ford fiesta because new ford fiestais car of the year 2009. When i bought this car two months later, i began toencounter some problem especially paint problem.on my carunder theright and left back door has some paint problem but these aren'tscrape and scratchproblem , some paint began to shedding or splitting, if you seethe picture of my car you will understand me easilyand i will sendyou some photo of my car. I know paint warranty;ford paint surface warranty protects our vehicles paint from corrosion and defective work. This doesn't cover scratches and scrapes caused by the driver. Absolutely i agree with you. But my problem is different and mixed problem. In january i released this problem. I went to turkey/hatay ovali ford vehicle company.

According to my mechanic and the tech's from a local ford dealership the problem stems from a faulty electronic throttle body which is controlled by the onboard computer system (engine control module). The fault prompts the car to go into a "limp home" mode or reduced power mode which in turn causes the car to act as though it's running out of gas. From a driving perspective, it has put me in a few precarious traffic situations.
While driving on the highway to work in the morning my car suddenly decelerated from 60 to 30 mph. It did this a couple times and i drove right to the ford dealership. They found that my throttle body went bad and i had to have it replaced. There has been a recall for one year newer cars, but not mine. I do not understand how that is possible.
My car stopped and wrench light came on.i had no accelerator control in a very dangerous traffic intersection. After waiting about 10 minutes the car started and i moved on. From what i've read on line it appears to be a throttle body issue. Called ford and they said my 2009 did not fall into a recall or customer satisfaction program and that i should contact nhtsa.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving at approximately 16 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
Fuel pump overheated and pump, sending unit, and wiring harness all melted and destroyed. Discovered upon being unable to start car. No sign of issues prior to this
My ford fusion was parked at the time of the incident. I went to start the car and it took at long time to crank and ran very roughly when idling. The check engine and wrench lights were illuminated. It read error codesp2112 throttle actuator control system - stuck closed and p2104 tac - forced idle. The gas pedal was nonresponsive and the car was immobilized. It restarted like this several times before starting normally and operating normally. The wrench light was no longer illuminated, but the check engine light is still on. The ford dealer confirmed that my car needs a new throttle body assembly. The vin # of my car is not included in ford's customer satisfaction program regarding throttle problems in vehicles from 2009-2013, although my 2009 fusion has 123,850 miles on it. Ford will do this repair free in vehicles that meet the criteria, although there is no official recall on the cars. The dealer said the car is not safe to drive until repaired. I am thankful and lucky this did not happen while i was driving.
This is my husband's car and we have been having problems with acceleration for the past few months. When turning a corner the car will stop accelerating. Yesterday i was on route 295 around providence, rhode island, fortunately in the right lane, when the car decided to stop moving forward. I was able to pull into the breakdown lane and avoid being hit from behind. I shut the car off, restarted it and was able to accelerate and get back on the highway. This is a scary safety issue. I did research online and discovered that it is the throttle body and it was never a recall. I called my ford dealer and he said the car, although it is not ten years old and has just over 120,000 on it, is not eligible for a free repair. My daughter-in-law sometime drives this car with my 2 year old grandson taking him to day care. Obviously we will not be driving this car until it is repaired. Why hasn't this been a recall? it is ahuge safety issue.

I parked my car in the garage and tried opening the driver side door. But the handle and lock would not work. So i have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. Also the driver door will not lock. This is a very serious security issue. I was told that it was not covered under warranty but i didn't do anything to cause this. It is just very cheap parts and poorly designed.
I had stopped at a convenience store and when i tried to open the door the door handle wouldn't unlock.i had to climb out through the passenger side.i could open the door from the outside.this is the 2nd time the handle has broken.the first time was within the 1st year i purchased the car.i have taken it to the dealer to look at.seems this is a recurring problem with this car.

Both front and rear interior door handles have failed. I am unable to exit the vehicle without lowering the window and opening from exterior. There is no visible evidence they have failed, they have just stopped working. You can convince the rear to work if you pull the handle and lock the same time. If i were to be involved in an accident, and the power failed, i would be unable to exit the vehicle at all. This vehicle is 3 years old with 47,000 miles and is now a potential death trap. The dealer says it is not covered, and i would have to pay for repairs. I am considering legal action, any vehicle that is inescapable shouldn't be on the highways. Worst of all, a quick search shows this to be an abundant problem with fusions from 2006 on. There are numerous blog on this subject alone. I am afraid to transport my family in this vehicle and have received no help!

The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving into a parking lot, the vehicle loss power and the wrench warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed that the power train control module failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.updated 09/05/14*lj updated09/15/2014
For the past month the check engine light has appeared and stayed on for a brief time.now it stays on . I have had a diagnostic test done and the results were p2112, p0721 and p2104.there appear to be a bad app sensor, throttle actuator control system-forced idle, stuck closed and failed ecm. If this is included in any recall, please let me know asap. This is the only vehicle i have and my lively-hood depends on it.
I was parking my 09 fusion at my son's preschool, and was almost stopped in the spot, when my car violently and unexpectedly accelerated forward up over a 4 inch curb. I pressed on the brake as hard as i could, but it was the tree that i hit that stopped me. There was no damage to the car, but i had both my children (4 years old and 11 months old) in their car seats with me at the time.this is the second time it has happened while parking. Both times i was going less that 10 mph and was almost at a complete stop when the car unexpectedly lurched forward. Will not put my children back in this vehicle until this problem is fixed; is not drive-able.
Takata recall in 2016 i received a recall notice for my airbags and have not received any assistance to get this fixed.
I'm getting a check engine light and a wrench symbol on my dashboard.when i take it to get checked, it says 'faulty throttle body' or throttle control actuator.this causes my ford fusion to go into 'limp home' mode.this is a mode that causes that car to accelerate no more than 20 miles an hour.the problem with this is that it happens when i'm in the middle of traffic, traveling at speeds of 55-70 miles an hour.when this happens, i fear for my life.when i contact auto care centers, they all tell me that this is a problem that has to be handled by the dealership.when i contact the dealership, they don't know what i'm talking about.i think that this throttle body is defective and after some online research, i see that i'm one of many ford owners that this has happened to.i would like a them recall this defective auto part.i hope no one has died from their car suddenly going into 'limp home' mode.
Slowed down to turn in a parking lot and car just stalled and check engine light and tool light came on. I had a diagnostic rsn and got code 2104 & 2112 meaning throttle body failure.
While driving my fusion which has had no mechanical issues up to this point slammed into 3rd gear followed by a rapid decrease in power and speed.the check engine light and wrench came on and pretty sure was in the" limphome" mode.took it to get the codes read and p 2104 and p0607 were present.
2009 ford fusion. Consumer writes in regards to issues with powertrain control module. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle should have been included in the recall. Diagnostic codes found in the vehicle were as follows: p0607, p060a, p1674 and p2105. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 10/25/2017
Vehicle shifts very irregularly- seems to go in and out of gear and when stepping on gas pedal it does not respond then jerks into drive gear. Two warning lights came on in dash, small wrench and check engine. An obd code reader was used to determine a fault code of po 772 ( shift solenoid stuck on) and car was taken into a ford dealer. Initially told that warrant had expired but engine and drive train warranty is for 5 years / 50,000 miles. Dealer inspected and found solenoid defective and transmission bands damaged. Car is be at dealer since june 4, 2013 as of today's date (06-08-13) upon investigating this problem i found hundreds of similar complaints by ford fusion owners and thus far no recall by ford. This problem could cause an accident which could result in injury or even death if occurring on the freeway. Ford needs to recall the fusion for repair or replacement.
I have twice now experienced a catastrophic engine/power train failure while at speed and in traffic.while driving and without any prior notice, my car immediately shuts down.during which the engine stalls, power brakes fail, and steering wheel locks.luckily i was in a position in traffic where i could quickly engage the hazard lights and allow plenty of reaction time for other drivers to avoid me.after the car has stalled and lost all power, that is when the warning lights (engine and wrench) come on the dash.each time it has taken no less than 5 minutes, while sitting in heavy traffic, to restart the car.when the car restarts it will drive like it did prior to the failure but the check engine light will remain on.this time i was able to bring the car to the local ford service department to have them diagnose the problem.after a full day of trying to recreate the issue (25 mile test drive) their recommendation was to take the car and continue to drive as normal until it happens again. After researching this site and several others, i have found that i am not the only fusion owner who has experienced this problem.i brought several documents to prove the issue has been recognized by ford (csp 13n03) and there is a fix for the problem.due to the bureaucratic nature of the conflictual relationship between the automotive industry and government entities, i am now left with a blunt refusal to remedy the issue with my car from the ford dealership because i do not own a 2010 fusion but rather a 2009.a model year prior to what ford recognizes has issues but i in fact have twice experienced the exact symptoms that ford outlined in their csp 13n03 document.at the end of the day i still have a very unsafe vehicle that is not fit to be on public roads because of the mass safety risk it poses to it's occupants (my children) and other motorists.
When driving at a normal speed, the idle of the car quickly drops and you are unable to maintain your speed. You immediately are forced to stop the car, turn it off and let it sit to reset it's self where ever on the road you are. This has happen randomly last few weeks. Just a few days ago it got increasingly worse. Was entering highway off an exit trying to merge. Was unable to get the speed because the idle dropped. Luckily had just enough time to get to shoulder to sit and wait. Had it been few seconds longer would of merged with highway traffic and then car would of came to a quick halt. The diagnosis to this problem the throttle body went bad.
Driving the other day i lost brakes and almost had an accident with another vehicle. The brake light came on along with the service light. Which is still on. Drive home variously in low gear when needed. When in low gear i heard a constant grinding noise. Still patiently waiting on my takata air bag replacement thru ford. This vehicle is new to me and i haven't made my first payment yet.only has 40k for mileage.as is common with most ford cats. I asks experienced surges in the vast. My lay cast was an 04 taurus.
While merging onto a freeway my car experienced a sudden loss of power while driving. Shortly afterwards my check engine light came on and i took it to the dealer to see what it was. It was a bad catalytic converter i was told that it would take 4 weeks to get one in. Meanwhile it being my only car i asked and was denied a loaner vehicle from ford motor co. And i was told that the vehicle was still safe to drive as long as i did not let it goo too long without the repair. I called back 4 weeks later and was told that it would be an additional 4-8 weeks as there were "no" parts to be found anywhere. This worried me greatly as they even said problems could arise if driven too long without being fixed. So i filed a complaint with ford motor company and was treated like crap by them. They told me they were willing to help but "not" willing to do anything. So i called a local news station who put me in touch with their executive offices where i got the same response. No loaner vehicle and no compenstaion for the extra gas i had to buy as it sucked it down. Whenever someone from ford's calls me i am lucky to get a sentence in before they hung up on me!thankfully to my contacting a local news station they made enough headway with ford that my part "finally" arrived today on 07/28/14 but i am extremely upset that ford would put me in the situation where myself and my family could be in danger by driving an automobile that is not safe. Driving with bad catalytic converters is not safe and could cause all sorts of other issues and the fact that ford's encouraged me to do so is frightening. This for one along with the gm issues has me seriously thinking of buying a foreign automobile for the first time ever. It was wrong what ford motor company did to myself and my family and i hope that this complaint will prevent them from doing this again in the future!
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that it took at least three attempts to start the vehicle. When the vehicle finally started, it failed to accelerate and the wrench warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 129,000.
After making a right turn and attempting to accelerate, the wrench light illuminated for the first time and the vehicle appeared to stall and i could not accelerate. Thankfully, it's a saturday morning and traffic was light and i was not on the highway. After pulling over and putting this information in a search engine i found numerous complaints of this happening to other ford owners. Some were on the highway and some in heavy traffic. The light eventually goes off, so of course the owner assumes there is no problem. The repair cost is expensive and this is an obvious problem ford knows about and is refusing to fix it. This is very dangerous and i don't think a lot of people know to report this problem to you.
Sudden acceleration when car was put into reverse.the car engine was turned off.floor mat was not touching the gas pedal.dealer could not find any codes in car computer.car is 2009 ford fusion, v-6, awd. Model sel.
During the night our 2009 ford fusion rolled down are driveway and ended up almost in the street. I could see the tire marks in the snow and see that it did in fact roll, i checked the gearshift and it was in park. I pushed on the car and it rolled a little more then stopped. Service manager at the dealership said there was another car in for the same problem. Guy at the car rental shop said that alot of their fusions had to have the transmissions replaced.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, without warning the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that there was an abnormal odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The contact coasted the vehicle to the road shoulder. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to start-up. The contact left the vehicle on the shoulder to get assistance with towing. The vehicle was towed to the residence where an independent mechanic was contacted and came out to the residence. No dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the power train control unit and ignition coils failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not drivable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximate 90,000.
Takata recall i had made an appointment for 3/28/19 we had an accident on 3/26/19 a car hit us at a red light totaled the car the airbag hit me in the chest bruises and cuts . I was the passenger my husband the driver he lacerations mostly . I also had broken ankle on the right foot and a sprain on the left. The car was totaled.car was in motion.
I was at a stop light in fresno, ca. Another vehicle hit me from behind at a unsafe speed. His vehicle pushed me across intersection.but the seat belt did not tighten or hold myself or my daughter back. I hit the windshield or panel i believe and cut my eyelid, resulting in 8 stitches and an orbital fracture.my daughter was in the passenger side she bent over and her legs buckled under seat.i just feel that the seatbelt should of restrained us.
"takata recall" i received the notice to have my airbags replaced & bolton ford has not responded.my driver door will not open from the inside of the vehicle & my brakes need me to go all the way to the floor before the brakes stop the car.car was stationery when driver door would not open & driving coming to a stop when brakes need pushing to the floor to work properly.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the front passenger seat manual reclining mechanism bolt fractured, causing the seat to move back and forth independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the bolt that hold the reclining seat mechanism was faulty and as a result, the seat needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
1.takata recall.3-5 year waiting period and yet no repair. Also, if driver airbag is takata, why no recall or replacement?2.brakes will drop all the way to floor in emergency braking!why no recall or fix?this is life threatening problem.
I was a passenger in a 2009 ford fusion sedan.i am a state employee and i was traveling with a coworker, who was driving.we were legally stopped at an intersection waiting for the vehicle in front of us to turn left.we were rear-ended by a hit and run driver estimated by police on the scene to have been traveling at 50 mph.the majority of the impact was on the rear passenger side.we were pushed into the vehicle in front of us.upon impact, i was thrust forward, then backward, and the seat back broke.i was in a reclining position after the accident.i have been diagnosed by two neurologists as having post concussion syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and vestibular dysfunction as a direct result of the accident.an investigator hired by my attorney concluded upon inspection of the car that the seat back should not have failed.i was seated properly with both feet on the floor and i was wearing my seatbelt at the time of the accident.
3 issues: i saw someone else post this- my break pedal is also soft and goes all the way down to the floor after antilock breaks are engaged (like on icy or wet roads).there is no other time this occurs- as it's the breaks, i've been very mindful of it.i have also had the breaks replaces so i don't think it's actually the breaks but rather somewhere within the breaking mechanics. Second, only when turning left, i get a "clunk" sound at about 1/4 of the way thru the turn.i thought the sound was coming from rear left axle area- but i honestly cannot isolate its origin. The third is my most hated: the rear of the drivers seat is breaking down- almost as though there's a framework of soldered metal inside in the core of the seat and the soldering is snapping apart.one of these days i'm going to fall back when the rear backrest completely breaks.i absolutely hate this- i have never had to buy a replacement seat before and i've owned ford/mercury products for 35 years.
Front seat head restraints are mounted at an extreme angle which forces your head forward at an uncomfortable angle. The head restraints need to be more straight up and down instead of curving forward.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion.the contact believes that the head restraint in the front seats should have been designed differently.she stated that they protrude forward too much and make it uncomfortable to drive because her head and back are not straight or aligned.she believes that the head restraints should be flatter.the failure mileage was 75 and current mileage was 2,100.updated 05/14/09. *ljupdated 05/14/09.
My driver seat heater was getting very hot, after a few times of this intense heat it now doesn't turn on at all.i have read a lot of others have had this same issue with the driver seat.consideringi only use it 4 months out of the year, and usually only 5 or 10 minutes at a time, there should be no reason that it have burnt out.
We recently bought a 2009 ford fusion and so fare we love the car, but we both agree that the head rest should be a lot straighter like the person in the report odi case number: 10266857. We both have back and neck problems and if the head rest was a little straighter i think it would solve alot of my wife's problem. With my problem it would make a little better because i have a more seriously accident. I have spoken to the ford dealership where we bought it from and they say that can do nothing for us. I said why can't you right a report up an send it to ford complaint office and see what they can do in the future, or they may suggest to you how to adjust the head rest. They said there is nothing we can do and ford will not do anything for us. Our car is a v6 (3 liter) engine with awd. It gets very good mileage an handles excellent in the city and highway.

Have had 2 incidents of abs engagement followed by loss of brakes, where pedal went down to the floor. First time was in february of this year. Road conditions were slick and the car slid slightly. Abs was activated and then there was loss of brakes. Had the car towed to a local mechanic and the whole brake system was inspected. All that was found was some air in the lines and brake pressure came back. Rotors, pads, calipers, master cylinder were fine.second incident happened august 5th while going on vacation. Was about an hour from home when i slowed down to go through a toll booth. Road was wet and i hit a slight bump going through the toll. After i got through the toll, brake pedal sunk to the floor! i then exited the turnpike and headed back home and drove it back an hour with no brake pressure. Fortunately it was early morning and traffic wasn't heavy. I got home, switched all of the luggage into my other car and i called a friend who works on cars and he said i could drop it off and he would look at it while we were on vacation. While he had it, the brake pressure came back. But again entire braking system was inspected and nothing wrong was found. There has to be a glitch in the abs. The first five years i had the car, nothing like this ever happened. Other on line postings i've read describe similar situations happening when the vehicle has 60,000 or more miles on it. My vehicle is at 60,000. Ford needs to look into this! does someone have to get seriously injured or killed before they take any action?
While i was driving i braked on a city street to slow down to turn right.while braking and beginning to turn, i ran over small potholes.brakes became mushy and i had to push brake all the way down just to stop.this has happened many times. In the past, after parking the car for awhile, the brakes went back to normal.however, this most recent incident happened 4 days ago and they brakes haven't gone back to normal.
On april 13 at 8:25 a.m. My son was leaving to drive over to the community college for class. As he left the subdivision and approached the stop sign at the main road, he applied the brakes to stop. The brakes worked fine until just before the stop sign when he hit a pot hole. The brakes immediately went soft so that he had to push the pedal all the way to the floor to get any stopping power at all. Thankfully he was only going 3-5 mph when the brakes failed. He threw the transmission into "park" (it was going slow enough that it held) and was able to stop before rolling out into traffic on the main road. The weather was clear and the asphalt pavement was dry. He turned the vehicle around and drove it home. I tested the vehicle and we were eventually able to restore braking actionby turning the engine off and on repeatedly and pumping the brakes while the engine was running. This is the third similar braking failure we have had with this vehicle in the last six months. Each incident has occurred without warning. We have had the vehicle inspected at the local ford dealer. They say they cannot find anything wrong with the braking system. The brakes seem to work perfectly all the time...except when they don't work at all! this is really scary and frustrating. I sure hope ford will do something about this known issue.
Went over a bump while braking and the brake pedal became soft and went to the floor. This had happened six times previously andwhen ever i turned off the vehicle it reset. It did not reset and they have remained soft and going to the floor to stop
Brake pedal went soft and difficult to stop
Soft brake petal / brake petal goes to floor within 17 seconds resulting in compromised brakes and a safety hazard (all speeds and stopping situations).seems to be a very common complaint / safety issue but still no recall or service bulletin from my understanding.i saw nhtsa is investigating, so i wanted to share i am alsohaving issue and feel it is unsafe.mechanic thought like most at first it was a bad master cylinder and replaced.petal still soft so he bled brakes several times and was confident no air in system.i brought back car 3x over a year concerned the brakes feel 'abnormal/weird'.each time brakes were re-bled and he agreed they felt unusual, he felt they were ok.my young daughter drives the car daily, so being concerned i researched and pressed dealer for info and found there is a known issue with a valve sticking in the anti-lock brake hydraulic valve unit resulting abnormal internal hydraulic fluid flow and gradual pressure loss.the price for a replacement valve body is an expensive $544 at ford and 3-hours of labor to replace.my mechanic feels this is a recall worthy safety issue and needs reported.no idiot light or code notifies driver or mechanic failure has occured and he said antilock systems should not have such pressure failure with a part issue.without recognition from ford, the condition is misdiagnosed and results in mechanics thinking it is probably ok when it is not safe. My daughter has driven the car in this condition for about a year now while we try to resolve and we probably did an expensive, unneeded repair. It is disappointing to learn there hasn't been a recall or warning.an $800 repair for a most likely defective part is excessive (not to mention the $350 unneeded master cylinder repair.the temptation for many will be to 'live with it' due to high cost of repair or never know.
Brake system's hydraulic control unit was recalled.brake pedal goes to floor or takes exceptionally long time to stop.barely avoided several accidents. This was recalled almost 2 years ago and nothing has been done by ford! the car mainly sits in front of my house.i am afraid to use it.how can they not fix a brake recall (major safety concern) and get away with it? most recent incident was oct 2020 but happened several times prior.
Was stopping at a red light hit a bump and brakes quit working.
I lose brake pressure after the abs is activated on slippery roads or uneven/bumpy roads while turning. Once the abs activates and stops, the brakes seems to not to fully recover where the pedal has to go to the floor to get minimal brake pressure and it takes a longer distance to stop.
Ford is ignoring the recall on the abs breaks. #19v-904. They simply refuse to do anything to fix these cars and the nhtsa is letting them get away with this. Its going to get someone killed
After engagement of abs system, brakes become soft and weak.this requires greater pedal pressure and travel, and thus reaction time to engage, resulting in unsafe condition.
Antilock brake system (abs) activates whenever braking on rough road or while hitting even small potholes.this causes the brakes to drop to the floor.the brake has to be pressed almost to the floor just to get the car to slow down.when winter came and the roads got snowy/slushy, it kept happening so often and was unsafe that i pulled the fuse that controls the abs and traction control in order to keep the abs from activating.it is an accident waiting to happen.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced delayed brake responses while depressing the brake pedal. The abs warning light was illuminated. 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 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 120,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
After a slide down an icy hill where the abs was activated the brakes became spongy and pedal travel increased significantly. It felt like there was a delay in brake activation. After some adjustment in braking methodology, the car felt somewhat drivable. Had my first braking need, after the abs application been at a busy intersection i believe i would have stopped in the intersection not on the stop line.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated while at a standstill, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and failed to release on its own. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer fairview ford san bernardino (292 n g st, san bernardino, ca 92410 (909) 884-9261) where it was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.
While driving on a highway going approximately 70 mph, i took evasive action to avoid a deer in the roadway.i veered right and hit the brakes.initially i felt the abs engage and felt, through the brake pedal, a series of thuds.after about a second the brake system failed almost completely and the vehicle continued to move despite the brake pedal being all the way to the floor.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the contact was unable to bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle proceeded through the intersection at the red traffic light. The contact stated that the brake hydraulic anti-lock system ceased in the open position. Penske ford service (8970 la mesa boulevard, la mesa, ca 91942, (619) 464-7777) was contacted and the contact was informed that parts were not yet available for nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,580.
Brakes keep going mushy after abs activates, taking significantly longer to stop the vehicle. The abs activates occasionally for no reason. Today traffic was stop and go, and when the car in front of me stopped and my boyfriend hit the brakes to stop, the abs went on followed by the brakes malfunctioning which caused a rear end collision. While researching this problem i found 26 reports of the same exact problem on www.aboutautomobile.com for the 2008 ford fusion alone, as well as numerous complaints on other websites regarding fusions.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

The abs system will engage and the brake pedal will go to the floor with no pressure and very little braking when going over railroad tracks. This has happened at least 3 times in the past 2 months and it doesn't matter whether you are using the brakes or not when going over the tracks. The brake pedal will not reset until the car has been stopped, turned off and restarted the next day.
Brake pedal goes straight to floor - no brakes!!! just replaced all discs, rotors, calipers less than 1 year ago. Google forums and you tube videos reflect this is a common problem that seems to occur in these vehicles with abs pump after abs activates. Please please please please please hold ford responsible for this safety defect!!!!! these are generally good reliable cars and have a lot of life to them. It's a shame that they won't just step up and do the right thing in this situation. Too many complaints to be justifiably ignored.
As i was leaving a parking lot and making a left hand turn onto the main in and out of the company,i was unable to stop or slowthe vehicle down to make the turn due to the breaks going out or not operating properly.resulting in the vehicle crashing into a large boulder.3-4 days previously i received a notice on brake recall for this vehicle but the noticed said that due to covidthey do not have a fix or parts to repair the recall.
Y 2009 ford fusion has newer brakes from july 2015. After the abs brakes go off when going over gravel or when hitting ice - the brakes seem to just go out- the pedal goes to floor and eventually stops. I usually pull over and pump the brakes and they eventually return to normal. I've had car to dealers in michigan and colorado and they can't find the problem. Only huntington ford in michigan drove the car but found no issue. No one has tried to engage the abs brakes. I do not drive on ice and can not safely take the car on the freeway, so this happens even at slow speeds on city streets.
2009 ford fusion sel v6 i am having issues with the abs system. The brakes are soft and really only activate when pushed almost to the floor. The issue started at about 75000 miles. I have replaced the brakes, bleed and replaced brake fluid, no leaks, checked calipers and master cylinder. The problem is the abs hydraulic control system. When replacement of the fluid and brakes the problem resolved until i made a sharp turn to the right and had wheel slip. Abs activated and from that point on it lost most braking ability. After much research i have found this is a common problem among many small ford manufactured vehicles. This is a very dangerous problem as it has caused countless near misses in my car. Ford knows of the issue and that it disables the abs system but will not fix the problem. It does however offer to replace the part for over $1000.
After driving on slippery roads on a city street, the brake pedal became soft and we could not stop. We had to pump the brakes many times. The local ford dealership says the abs hcu has failed.
While in the act of stopping for a red light on a bumpy & potholed road the brake system seemed to loose pressure. The brake pedal almost went all the way to the floor.this 70%-80% loss of braking power persisted until having a mechanic fix the abs system in september 2016.then sometime in october of the same year the exact same issue appeared in the exact same manner.had the mechanic once again fix it.when the "mushy" pedal problem is persisting i have to take into account that now my car has about 80% less stopping power.luckily no accident has occurred however the probability for one certainly increased.
Brake pedal fell to the floor after abs initiated (skid on ice). Requires significant force to stop vehicle. Brake fluid is full and master cylinder is not compromised
With antiskid activated trying to stop in an expedited manner from 30mph brakes lost all pressure.pedal goes to the floor. With normal braking they work just fine.tested brakes on a gravel road and speed does not matter.when the antiskid tries to stop the car you loose all brake pressure and car continues to travel forward with no braking.emergency brake was the only thing that stopped the car.there is no brake warning light on at this time or during the event.
Driving in snow, aprroximately 25 mph. Braked hard enough to engage abs.brakes are now spongy and go all the way to the floor before engaging. Very dangerous. Happened a couple years ago as well, but resolved itself within a day, so i did not research it. After researching this time, 99% sure it's a faulty hcu and there have been 140+ complaints regarding this problem. Ford needs to do the right thing!
The break pedal will travel 2/3 of the way to the floor before the car begins to slow down or stop. I can never tell if the car is going to stop or not.
Several times over the course of several years, after the abs has engaged while driving, the brake pedal goes "soft" and has to be depressed all or nearly all of the way to the floor in order for the vehicle to stop.usually, the brake pedal stays "soft" for several hours, then returns to normal the same day.in the past, i have taken it in to the dealer, and they have stated that they couldn't replicate the problem so they couldn't fix it.the last time this happened was on september 29, 2017.after several days, the brakes still hadn't returned to normal, so i took it in to the dealer (dewey ford in ankeny, iowa).they stated that the hydraulic control unit had to be replaced.with parts and labor, the repair bill came to $1,318.06, before taxes.
2009 ford fusion brake failure was experienced while driving 30-40mpg on an exit ramp that was in a curve during the rain and during applying the brakes, the abs engaged unexpectedly and the pedal went to the floor. The braking distance increased roughly twice the normal required distance to come to a stop while requiring significantly increased pedal pressure.pumping the brakes twice did not help stop the car or to build pressure in the pedal.i was successful in recreating the issue while stopping over grass in the road causing abs engagement or over gravel on pavement to cause the abs engagement with the results being roughly 40% of the time the pedal goes to the floor.to get the brake pedal to return to normal i quickly and harshly jab the brakes many times causing the hcu to become unstuck only for the issue to return during the next few tests.this is my 2nd faulty hcu!!! please recall this safety issue.
I drove over a set of bumpy railroad tracks and about a 1/4 mile down the road, when i went to stop, my brake pedal went to the floor. I still had some brake pressure to stop though. I made it to a parking lot to check for leaks but did not see any. I pumped the brakes and i got my brake pressure back and the brake pedal was back to normal.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle lost braking ability. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, it traveled to the floorboard and could not stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to sheehy ford lincoln gaithersburg (901 n frederick ave, gaithersburg, md 20879, (301) 358-4443) where the mechanics diagnosed the vehicle and blew air through the valves; however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,182.
The vehicle's brakes randomly cease working. This has led to several near collisions, including at least one high-speed incident where the brakes failed on the interstate and nearly caused a serious crash. The dealership has known about this recall for nearly a year and has yet to fix the issue. They claim they don't have the parts and claim the issue needs to be taken up with the manufacturer. When contacting the manufacturer, they claim it is the responsibility of the dealership to fix it and will not help either. It is wildly unacceptable that manufacturers and dealerships can produce and sell cars with brakes that randomly shut down completely and not fix the issue. This is no small matter, brakes that spontaneously stop working are one of the most dangerous issues that can happen to a car, and such a issue should be addressed immediately. Before the recall was made public, the dealership charged us on two separate occasions to fix the brakes and claimed they were completely fixed. We are caught in a vicious cycle of both the dealership and the manufacturer refusing to help and claiming that it is the other one who can help us. This is a known and public recall (nhtsa recall number 19v904), and we should not be terrified of dying in a car crash because our brakes randomly go out and the responsible parties keep dodging responsibility. We have made multiple attempts at contacting both the dealership and manufacturer to no avail, so we are writing to the nhtsa for assistance in this matter.
Issue with brake pedal going all the way to the floor - with difficulty coming to a normal stop.there is a need to brake way ahead of the normal distance to avoid potential accident.master cylinder was replaced, no lose of fluid, checked by multiple mechanics, and there isn't an obvious issue except possible faulty parts.researching has indicated this has affected many other drivers in the same way.i noticed an investigation was created in april of 2018, but i don't see a resolution.there have been more than 25 accidents to date directly related to this issue.it would seem prudent and responsible to issue a recall to address the large scale issue.
Cosumer owns 2009 ford fusion. On four different occasions vehicle lost significant braking pressure that was believed to be caused by wheels hitting potholes which resulted in sudden dropping of brake pedal to floor, a decrease in rate of deceleration of vehicle, increase in stopping distance, and loss of ability to control car's deceleration by increasing the foot pressure applied to the brake pedal.
I have had brake failure 3 times in the last year on my 2009 ford fusion. The brake pedal goes to the floor, is spongy, and extremely hard to stop. The brakes have been checked by our mechanic and have found no apparent problem. Today, 1/15/17 it happened again while my daughter was driving the car. She hit the brakes hard because a car pulled out in front of her and then there was almost no braking power. After researching i've found that there may be a problem with the abs being faulty. I recently heard a news report that there may be a recall due to this issue. In the mean time, what am i to do to ensure the safety of my family and others?
I had to hit the brakes really hard as someone pulled out in front of me. Moments later the brake pedal goes straight to the floor. The hcu is stuck. The brakes are soft and it takes significantly longer to stop.
The road was wet, and during a hard stop going down hill, the brakes shook, went to the floor and became spongy afterwards. This has happened to me several times, usually in the rain or after driving over a bump or pothole. The most recent time before today, the brakes were spongy for months before returning to normal responsiveness. The open investigation "pe 16-017" perfectly describes my problem.
Once abs kicks on, hydraulic control unit makes brakes soft and dangerous, cannot stop. Has happened multiple times with car over years. I have notice thousands of people over the internet describing same incident. Recall immediately.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While operating the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal, the abs sensor activated. Moments later, the brake pedal extended to the floor when it was depressed. The vehicle did not immediately stop and the stopping distance was increased. The dealer changed the rear rotors and brake pads, and brake fluid; however, the same failure recurred several months later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the front brake pads and rotors were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,914.
As i was braking to turn into the driveway at work this past winter , the road was snow covered and the antilock brakes activated. Since that time the brake pedal has excessive amount of travel before brakes engage. I have since changed out pads , rotors and flushed the brakes and cannot get rid of the soft brake pedal. I did some searching online this past weekend and found others having the same issue. Ford needs to correct this brake issue.
I was driving stoped at a light. Noticed dark smoke coming from under the hood. Made my left turn trying to get to a parking lot just ahead. The smoke started coming into the car. It was smoking bad by now. I pulled over as i did i saw flames coming from under the hood. This is only a minute or two later. I got out of car called 911. The whole engine was burned up the front tires. Windshield was starting to crack and started melting. This was so scary every thing happened so fast and the gauge didn't show the car was running the slightest bit hot. With all that it seemed when i was slowing down for the light the brakes were starting to go out. There is only a little over 45,000 miles on my car. Now that i think of all this i thank god i didn't get into an accident and hurt or kill someone including myself. Cheryl from clarkston michigan
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 45 mph, the brake pedal became soft and failed to stop the vehicle. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to friendly ford (734-243-6000, located at 2800 n telegraph rd, monroe, mi 48162) where it was diagnosed that the calipers needed to be replaced. The calipers were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000. *dt the consumer stated the manufacturer was notified and suggested taking the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer could not detect an issue. The consumer requested that the abs hcu be replaced. The vehicle was replaced.
What i will be describing has happened on more than one occasion:when stopping my vehicle on an uneven surface, my brakes make a whirrring noise and i lose my brakes.fortunately i have not had to avoid another vehicle or stationary item.once i ran a stop sign, but it was at a four-way and no other vehicles were present.after this happens my brakes get "squishy".i feel like i have lost 1/2 of my brakes function.i am very careful when stopping and tend to slow much sooner than needed.after a long time it seems like my brakes are "back", but when i have to stop and use the abs we cycle through the same problem.i have taken my vehicle to the local ford dealer (where i have my car regularly serviced) and i was told that after inspection my brakes look fine.if i want further diagnostics i would have to pay approximately $100 just to "see".a local mechanic told me that unless my abs warning light was on he could not even run the diagnostics.my abs light has never came on.
My wife braked abruptly on the highway and afterward, noticed that the brake pedal would go to the floor before she could stop. She said it seemed like the pedal had lost all function.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving at an unknown speed, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (boyd brothers ford, oxford, nc, 877-658-0824), but the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not call back. Also, the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags). The failure mileage was approximately 72,700. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floor and the stopping distance was extended. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced under the nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the failure occurred. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,200.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the anti lock brake system stalled while the vehicle was being driven in the snow. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the abs hydraulic unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was at 61,000. Updated 02/22/2017*ct
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the parts to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer sunshine ford (40 ny-17k, newburgh, ny 12550) was contacted and confirmed the parts were not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
On 3 separate occasions my brakes have failed -twice i was turning a corner to the right - applied my brakes - pavement was rough - i heard a thud like noise and the brakes were all but gone - brake pedal went clear to the floor.the third time i was driving on snow packed/ icy road and the light turned red - it was a very slight downhill section -.i didn't have any brakes - i tried pumping, the brake pedal went clear to the floor and then i had to just put both feet on the brake pedal as hard as i could - finally came to a stop in the intersection - if a car would have been in front of me i would not have been able to stop.i was driving at a safe speed for the road conditions.i have had the car to the mechanic twice now and what he's doing is not fixing the problem.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph and depressing the brakes, he heard a loud grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where they advised him that the rear brakes and rotors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 69,000. The vin was unavailable.
While slowing on a highway to turn onto a side road, the vehicle encountered slippery conditions. The abs engaved and the brake pedal became very soft, and went almost to the floor. Nearly all braking ability was lost.
My abs engaged while driving on the interstate and i had to slam on my brakes in a heavy downpour.immediately after that, for the last 9 days and counting, my brakes have been soft/squishy.i can feel them start to engage at their old point but there isn't much pressure until i get much closer to bottoming out the brake pedal.from what i've read online, this was something being looked into a few years back as a common failure.
After an abs situation when slowing on a slick roadway the brake pedal drops nearly to the floor dangerously reducing braking pressure increasing stop time. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
Brakes go to the floor, during stopping the car when:hitting a pot hole while turning and braking, another car caused me to slid into a rut while braking, breaking on snow and ice.
In situations where a driver is braking and your abs becomes enabled, there is a chance that valves inside the hydraulic control unit (hcu) may stick, greatly reducing pressure sent to the caliper/brake. The valves may continue to be stuck until either the abs is reengaged or until the valves unstick themselves, between periods of hours or weeks. While the valves are stuck, brake peddles will feel extremely spongy and are required to be pressed to the floor to actually have the desired effect of slowing the car. Even when pressed all the way down, the effects of braking are severely diminished when compared to properly working brakes. Reduced braking effectiveness is obviously extremely dangerous for drivers and could, even during clear conditions, cause an accident. Replacement of the hcu costs several hundred dollars and is ultimately a temporary fix, as the issue will eventually reoccur.
Low brake pedal after a hard stop
Brakes went to the floor and overshot turning lane after i hit a bump in the road while braking. Pavement was damp, i was on an incline on a local 2 lane road. 3rd time for this. Dealer said my brakes were fine after the second time it happened, dec. 2016. Seems to be abs system. Sent repair invoice on last report dec. 2016.
Hit a medium sized bump on a city street while proceeding through said street, brakes then proceeded to not work properly with pedal pressing all the way to the floor. Proceeded to pump brakes until enough braking force required to stop at intended point. Brakes returned after a couple miles. Avoiding bumps when possible now because last time i checked. Need brakes to stop and not get into an accident ultimately resulting in the possible death or harm to other people.
When my abs system is activated my brake pedal goes to the floor and the it takes an extened period of time to recover
I was driving about 25 mph on a winter day in mn.we had very little snow down went to stop and abs activated but i did not have any brakes. Pedal went to floor and ever since then it takes a lot longer to stop and pedal goes to floor very easy.wife also drives car and she had the same thing happen going over a pot hole on a non winter day.seems very unsafe to drive at this point especially with a 5 and 2 year old in it. Luckily it is our third car.
Several times in the last 3 months, including today, when the abs starts, it looses breaking ability. I almost wrecked the vehicle into the gas pump this morning after starting to break off the highway, coming into the station, the right front time lost it's grip after going over a rain grate, the abs then kicked in and all the sudden mush for brakes. It is only ever corrected after you stop the car, put in park, turn off engine for several minutes and restart. Brakes are worthless until the car is "reset."
I began to brake approaching a traffic light. The anti-lock brakes initiated soon after light braking pressure. The anti-lock brakes continued for approximately 300 feet without the car slowing down. The vehicle proceeded through a red light narrowly missing traffic. After the anti-lock braking occurred the brake pedal was less responsive and the anti-lock brakes came on when applying regular pressure. The anti-lock brakes work less effectively than when the brakes do not use abs. It is very difficult to apply the correct amount of pressure to not initate abs from occurring.
Brake pedal feels spongy after hard braking or during wet driving conditions. It has been reported to my servicing ford dealer several times and they state that the brakes are performing to spec.
Takata recall, my brakes failed my daughter and me several times i had the brakes replace thinking that was the problem but on 11/07 /17 i was existing off the freeway coming to the red light with the blessings of the lord the light was yellow i braked it wouldn't stop the person on my left waiting for the light to turn green notice i couldn't stop they waited until i made my left turn that was scaryplease tell me what i should do to solve this problem. [xxx] please don't wait until i have an accident i would loose my brakes and they will go all the way to the floor pumping them didn't help so i would drive in the far right lane when approaching a light or a car i would start pumping and pray all the way to my destination city street and highways been blessed so far. Thanks [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On 3 occasions my anti-lock brake system seemed to engage and fail causing the entire brake system itself to fail. One occasion was braking over a slick surface in a city street, my anti-lock brakes attempted to engage and the pedal then went straight to the floor and my vehicle hardly slowed down even 5 mph. On two other occasions going over uneven surfaces, one a high way exit ramp, the other a city street under construction. I attempted to brake so my suspension system would take less of an impact, and because of the object i was going over my anti-lock brakes engaged and failed. On both occasions the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and the vehicle hardly slows at all. Each time this happens the brake pedal will not recover for approximately 2-3 weeks. By this i mean that i must depress the brake pedal about 80% before the brakes will actually engage. After the 2-3 week period the brakes seem to go back to normal on their own. On all three occasions my brake pads were at least 80% and the brake fluid was full.
After stopping on slippery pavement, or sometimes just hitting a pot hole or bump the brakes fail.the next time you press the brake pedal it goes to the floor and has to be pumped up, just to regain any stopping power.the brakes stay in this state feeling soft and going to the floor until you make a very hard stop forcing the abs to engage, sometimes it takes several attempts before the brakes return to normal. We have three ford fusions in the family, one 2008 and two 2009 models, and all three of them have had this issue at least once.i have also spoken to other fusion owners and every one of them has had this brake issue.
Recently i had difficulty getting my car to come to a full stop.it took much longer to stop my car and more effort to get it to stop.i had to depress the brake pedal significantly harder at a an extended period of time to the point panic set in because i feared my car would not stop before it entered the intersection.while braking i didn't have the usual feel of braking either.it didn't feel like the brakes were functioning. My car kept going even though i was pressing firmly on the brakes.it felt like i couldn't press hard enough to get a response from my brakes.my car was moving at a low to average speed (maybe 30mph) when this occured.it was not the first time this occured.it was on a dry local road on a clear day, approaching an intersection.
After hitting a piece of ice the abs system kicked in and did what it was suppose to do, however since this happen my brake pedal continues to go's to the floor barely stopping my vehicle, there are no lights on to indicate any problem, but something is wrong as brake pedal should not be that soft and go to the floor.i looked this up to see if there are any issues with other ford fusions and found thatit isa problem with many ford fusions, isn'tthis a serious safety concern, my brakes go to the floor and there is no light to indicate there is a problem with the braking system when obviously there is or my pedal wouldn't be going to the floor.
The brakes suddenly became soft and the brake pedal travelled almost to the floor before stopping the vehicle.this occurred while slowing for an intersection on a wet road. It didn't feel like the abs system activated properly.the brakes remained soft after that and are not working properly.
The contact owned a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while coming off the interstate approximately 30 - 35 mph when pressing the brakes, when the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle's brakes floored. The contact ended up crashing into the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed and deemed totaled. The contact received injuries to their lower back, hips and neck area when medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The contact stated that they had now learned of their vehicle being included in two recalls nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic)and 19v001000 (air bags). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and transferred the contact to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
I experienced reduced and uneven braking action after the activation of the abs system during a hard stop on a city street at approximately 30 mph while turning right.the vehicle was taken to a shop, and they could not find any mechanical problems.a web search indicated similar issues specific to ford fusion and similar ford vehicles of this vintage related to a failure in the abs hydraulic control unit.i contacted a ford dealership, and they confirmed that this is a known problem and said it is a common failure mode for my scenario.before i was able to get the car to the shop, i had several times that i needed to make harder than usual stops.braking required pumping of the pedal to get needed braking action.the braking action was uneven causing the car to swerve, and it appears the abs system no longer would activate.no indicator lights illuminated to signify mechanical failure.i consider the car not safe to drive in current state.repairs are pending.
Twice this year i tried to brake while going over arough surface coming to an intersectionand the brakes went to the floor and it took more distance to stop than it should. The brake pedal stayed low for about 15 min. Until it eventually came back to regular position. Took it to dealer on oct. 26,2016 when it happened the second timeand they said they checked everything and my brakes were fine. I even suggested it seemed to be related to abs since i didn't feel the normal 'grabbing' sensation when the abs takes over.
Spongy brake pedal, brakes seem to start to grab then pedal goes straight to the floor. Happens all the time and i'm scared that this will cause an accident. Car has 93k miles. Will never buy another ford
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard without warning. The contact then received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact called several unknown dealers and was informed by each that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I was driving and hit a slippery road surface.the abs engagd and immediately after that the brake went very low and i could not achieve normal braking pressure.
Break pedal goes to the floor. The vehicle takes longer to stop.pumping the breaks several times seems to fix the problem. This is a random problem.
After anti-lock brakes engaged while driving, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and lost most of the braking ability. This happened 3 times. The first 2 times it happened, the braking pressure recovered within a day and brakes went back to normal. The 3rd time it happened the brake pressure never recovered completely. I still have braking ability, but requires a long brake pedal travel to engage brakes fully. If i pump brakes, pedal pressure seems to build to a normal level, but will go back to a soft feel immediately after i stop pumping (as if the brake fluid is leaking past something internally). Had dealer look at it after 1st incident, but couldn't diagnose any problems with system (brakes had gone back to normal by then). I am currently driving with the long pedal travel and soft feel of the brakes, but have learned to compensate for it.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving, the contact heard the brakes squeak when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the front pads and rotors were replaced however, the failure persisted. The independent mechanic then diagnosed the failure as the anti-lock braking system. The local dealer larson ford (1150 ocean ave, lakewood, nj 08701) was contacted after notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) was received. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall remedy. The contact stated that the local dealer larson ford (1150 ocean ave, lakewood, nj 08701) was contacted however, parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the recall notice stated that the part would not be available until the first quarter of 2021. The contact stated that the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they would send a letter to the dealer to expedite the repairs. The contact was concerned that the dealer was charging a diagnostic fee. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owned a 2009 ford fusion. While depressing the brake pedal at 40 mph, the vehicle failed to respond without warning. As a result, the brake pedal traveled to the floor and the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags deployed. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.
Brakes starting going to the floor on bumps. Starting happening frequently so i took in for repair and had to have a new abs senor installed. I did a refurbished one with a three year warranty in order to save some money. It still cost @$550.
I have experienced the same braking issue (brake pedal going to the floor) that is being investigated a couple of times when i had to brake suddenly on uneven surfaces (once was a coble stone entrance) the brake pedal went down to the floor when i slammed on the brake pedal (very similar to when there is air in the brake lines or a bad master cylinder) and both times i was barely able to stop in time (lucky for me that both instances were at low speed less than 10 mph). Took the car to have the brakes checked and they replaced they replaced the master cylinder which did not correct the issue. Both times the brakes eventually came back to working normally after a while.
Ford safety recall notice 19s54 / nhtsa recall 19v-904. Ford first notified me about this recall over a year ago, in january 2020. They claimed parts would be available "late first quarter 2020." since then i have repeatedly contacted them and they have alternated between telling me they didn't know when parts would be available and giving me bogus dates which were then missed; note that most of these contacts were me contacting them, not the reverse, even after deadlines promised in writing had passed without any contact from them. They sent another letter for the same recall in october 2020, this time claiming that parts would be available "1st quarter 2021." that deadline, too, has passed, with no further contact from ford. The recall notice claims that the vehicle is still safe to drive, but it also says that the recall is for a problem with the brake pedal which could increase the risk of a crash. This does not sound safe! while i am sympathetic to supplier delays caused by the pandemic, the facts that (a) they have repeatedly, even far after the start of the pandemic, given bogus dates for when parts would be available for this recall, (b) not been proactive about communicating delays even after promised deadlines had passed, and (c) not offered substitute transportation, are simply not ok. Please do something about this!
This is the second time in the past month my brakes went soft after pulsating to a quick stop (abs i guess kicked in). I took it to a mechanic the first time and he couldn't find anything wrong with the brake system. After he looked at it and did a few things to make abs light come on, they went back to normal. Now it's back, after i had to brake in the snow at a light on the highway. They are back to being spongy and i have to push down further to come to a complete stop.
While sitting at a red light the brake pedal will go soft or have to resort to double pumping of the brake pedal for them to grab.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard several times without warning. The brake calipers and brake pads were replaced more than twice, but the failure continued. The contact was uncertain if the hcu failed. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. The failure occurred on several occasions. An independent mechanic was able to duplicate the failure, but was unable to determine the cause. The failure was not repaired. The local dealer (sterman and larkin ford in pittsburgh, pa) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 106,000.
When braking on uneven surfaces the brake goes to the floor and doesn't stop the car properly. I need to put the car into park and pump the brake pedal to get it working again. I tried to stop when approaching a main road from a side road. The main road was being resurfaced and was about 1" or 2" lower than the side road. As the front tires were dropping down the transition from the normal road to the lower road i applied the brake, the brake pedal hit the floor of the car and did not brake in a normal amount if time or space. It felt like the brake failed. I had to hit the brake numerous times to get the car to stop. The wheels were not turned when the brake failure happened. The brake continued to not work properly until i pumped it up again. The brake failure happened numerous other times when trying to brake when going over potholes and other uneven surfaces. The wheels are always straight when the brake failures occur. The brakes seem to fail each time the front wheels are going down a break in the road. The brakes continue to not work correctly on all surfaces until i pump them up again. My mechanic does not know the cause of this problem. The problem has always happened on clear, dry roads.
Received a recall notice for a problem i have had with my fusion (abs module valve stuck open) which means the brakes work and lockup only when pressed all the to the floor. Went to 3 ford dealers and none will help because the recall has no "solution yet". One tech told me to deal with a bad brake pedal and don't drive fast. That's not safe for my wife or child in the vehicle. Ford says parts may be available in the last part of the 2020 first quarter. The ford recall states "the vehicle is safe to drive" its not very safe when the brakes dont stop the vehicle.
The contact called on behalf of a son who owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while the vehicle was driven at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard before the vehicle was stopped. Greg darnell ford (6601 se 29th st, midwest city ok 73110, 405-733-1611) was contacted and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Anti lock brake system failed at 80,000 miles and when they went to repair it the drivers side door mechanism failed and froze shut
When driving over a bump in the road or rough surface or something that would cause the abs braking system to activate, the brakes would go soft and need to be pressed very hard in order to make the car stop. This increases the time it takes for the car to brake making it hard to stop especially in rush hour traffic. It has happened on 3 occasions already.
The brake pedal has become soft or squishy and i must push it harder for the car to stop. This started after i hit the brakes while it was raining. My car slid but eventually came to a stop as i manuevered around a stopped car. I was driving on a highway at the time and the traffic came to a stop because of an accident ahead.this soft brake pedal has happened in the past after braking on bumpy roads or in the snow. The firmness of the brake pedal has come back in all previous occasions but has not yet in over a week in this current situation.
Car in motion and an abs event is triggered - brake pedal suddenly loses pressure and the vehicle stopping distance increases. I believe this issue is related to the hcu beginning to fail as symptoms are exactly as described in the following nhtsa investigation. Investigation: pe 16-017date opened: 12/20/2016investigator: stephen mchenry reviewer: paul simmonsapprover: michael brownsubject: extended braking distancethis has happened multiple times.
The brakes in the car seemed "squishy" or soft requiring that the driver push the brake pedal nearly through the floor to engage the brakes.i have taken it to multiple shops and had multiple repairs including but not limited to, 2 brand new master cylinders.several near miss incidents have happened but luckily no accidents.i took the car in today to have the takata airbag recall completed and was told i needed a new hcu.it is my understanding that there have been multiple complaints regarding this make and model regarding faulty hcu parts.
Anti lock brakes activated then almost no brake action. The pedal went almost to the floor causing the braking distance to almost double. Came very close to hitting cars with the green light.
I pulled into the median to turn left into a business. As my car traveled over some gravel in the median my brakes went "soft" and i had to mash down on them in order to come to a complete stop. Once parked, i let the car "sit" or "rest" for 4 hours. The brakes were still soft when i started the car, and when i would press the brakes, i had to mash down on them to come to a complete stop.
While driving my 2009 ford fusion at 25 mph, i came upon stopped traffic.the road was wet and a little uneven as i was crossing a short overpass but there was plenty of stopping distance.the abs activated.i held the brake pedal to the floor but the brakes did very little to slow the car until the car ran into the stopped traffic.at 25 mph, there was no concern that the car would not stop in time even with the abs activated, but it did not.there was no skidding or sliding of the tires.i believe that the abs module just did not apply enough pressure to the brake lines.i think this falls under pe 16-017.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated while reversing the vehicle out of a driveway the brake pedal was depressed and failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to lynch ford chevrolet inc.,410 us-30, mt vernon, ia 52314. The dealer refused to run a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 160,000.
Abs fails to reset after they activat from a slick road conditions
When anti-lock braking system is needed, such as on a slippery road, the brake pedal goes to the floor, resulting in a lack of stopping power, resulting in a hazardous situation.when roads are not slippery, brakes work normally.
I hit a dip in the road and loss total control of my brake system, feels as if i've had to push brakes all the way to the floor and almost caused an accident.
I have experienced my brakes giving out while braking on slick surfaces such as road repair covers, as well as on rainy roads.i have slid through intersections when the light was red because the brakes wouldn't engage. After each of these occurrences, the brakes are spongy, having to push them to the floor to even stop.this is a very dangerous situation to myself and other drivers.this has happened at least five times over the last three months.please let me know if there is anything i can do to help your investigation efforts.it's my hope that a recall will be issued for this problem.this problem has occurred always while the vehicle was in motion, and has happened on a city street, highway off ramp, and intersections.
Two times in three months - after abs event, the brakes go all the way to the floor.stopping at high speeds with such little grab in the brakes makes travel extremely dangerous.i beleive it is the common hcu problem...actually im certain.ford should issue a recall for this.im sure there is a lot more people who havent reported.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brakes failed while attempting to slow down from 30 mph. The contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center where the body damage was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,440.
1.takata recall.3-5 year waiting period and yet no repair. Also, if driver airbag is takata, why no recall or replacement?2.brakes will drop all the way to floor in emergency braking!why no recall or fix?this is life threatening problem.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact spoke with nhtsa by phone and it was confirmed that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving over a wet railroad crossing, the abs sensor suddenly illuminated. When depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not immediately stop. The brake pedal traveled to the floor and the stopping distance was extended. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Several times, since we've owned this car, the abs system has kicked in.if this happens when the car is on ice or snow, everything is fine and brakes return to normal.however, if the abs system kicks in and the car is on a rough road/surface, then the brakes go "soft" after and remain that way for up to weeks at a time.i was driving on a neighborhood side street, late for an appointment and was doing about 35 in a 25 zone, and suddenly i saw on the cross street, they had milled the asphalt. I braked hard to slow down for the trench i was going to cross over and the abs kicked in.when i was back on normal road surface and was braking for a light, the pedal went to the floor, just stopping the car in time.i tried everything, pumping them up to bring it to a gradual stop, pushing slower on the pedal and slamming on the pedal, they remained soft and i had 0 confidence that my car would stop on time in an emergency.my mechanic had my car for more then 3 days, bleed the lines, no change, replaced the master pump, no change ( i ended up leaving the new master pump on since it's 7 years old and has over 100,000 miles on it) and re-bleed the lines a second time, no change.over a period of time, they finally came back to full pressure.i googled fusion brake problems and was surprised to find many entries referring to the same problem, that being on a "rough road" and abs kicking in, soft brakes ensued.i will find all of my receipts and have more precise info in a week or two.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving to work, and hit a rough patch of gravel. The abs system engaged, and my brakes went all the way to the floor. They were soft and totally unresponsive. Fortunately, i drive a manual, so i downshifted and used the emergency brake to come to a stop. If there would have been a need to suddenly stop, i would have certainly hit the car object in front of me. The brakes have been spongy since this incident.
As i was driving (in motion) after going over rough pavementthe brakes completely went to the floor.there was a small amount of braking effectiveness but it was very dangerous and i had to pull over.i was going to call a tow truck but after i turned the car off and turned it back on the brakes had power again.
I had to hit my brakesto avoid a collision while driving on a city street while it was raining.ever since, the brake pedal has gone all the way to the floor with very little pressure. The first occurrence happened in june 2017 but has been a continous and very scary issue since then. I took my car to a ford dealership where they originally told me the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The master cylinder was replaced but i was told that the brakes were still not working correctly. Upon further investigation by the dealership, i was told the hydraulic control unit would need to be replaced. The car is currently being serviced at a ford dealership
Nhtsa action number: ea18002the nhtsa action item listed above affects my ford fusion too. I lose breaking power so much that i must apply the break petal to the floor in order to come to a complete stop and this also does affects the total stopping distance.
After engaging the abs system on a gravel road, the brake pedal went soft.it now requires significant pumping and increased distance to stop the vehicle. The master cylinder was replaced, but this did not fix the problem.research uncovered that this is a known problem/defect with this model year fusion. I am wondering if there is any momentum towards a ford recall on this abs issue.it is a significant safety hazard, and well documented.
In motion.city & highway.intermittent abs failure.brake pedal goes to floor resulting in no brakes.does not pump up while in motion.common problem with many complaints on internet.sticking dump valve in hydraulic control system. Happened several times last 18 months.
Recall for repair of hydraulic control unit valve was in dec. 2019.brake function is affected.mfg recall #19s54; nhtsa recall #19v904remedy was anticipated in first quarter of 2020.as of 3/10/2021 "recall incomplete; remedy not yet available."i have had multiple experiences over the past couple years when brakes were applied and they did not respond normally.
When i was trying to brake on some light ice to make a turn it locked up on me and was unable to come to a stop... Since that incident i have soft squishy brakes , to stop it goes almost to the floor. , i have had brakes checked out there is nothing wrong with them.. Said it was the abs system needing to be checked out and that ford is aware that there is a safety issue on this 2009 ford fusion
While driving on the highway during rush hour traffic stopped ahead of me. I applied the brakes to stop and the pedal went to the floor and activated the antilock brakes. This did notprovide any significant braking and i rear ended the truck in front of me. About 2 months prior i hit a drainage grate and upon applying the brakes there was no brakes. After driving for about 20 minutes the brakes felt normal after applying the brakes hard a couple of times. Took the car to the dealer and had the brakes checked and the only thing found was the rotors needed to be turned. The car has about 79,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving less than 35 mph, the vehicle experienced a loss of brake function. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an unknown ford dealer in knoxville, nc, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
When i hit the brakes i have to go all the way to the floor before they start working. This happen once during winter when i went over a speed bump and after a week or so it fixed itself. But several weeks ago as i was braking at a light i hit a pothole and it has done it again and has not repaired itself. I read online this is a common problem this type of car faces with the abs system.
Vehicle lost brakes when leaving pavementon to dirt road.brake pedal goes to the floor before stopping.vehicle slow to stop.vehicle in motion turing off the highway
Abs breaking. After a hard break on a gravel road the break peddle is soft. I have to push the peddle to the floor in order to get a response. There are no dashboard warning lights on. This happened once before, but it corrected itself after it set for the better part of a day.
While driving down the road i applied my brakes and the pedal started to move in a normal motion then vibrated and went to the floor.this almost made me rear end the car in front of me, i had to swerve to miss it.my brakes have been soft ever since. Upon looking on the internet i see ford knows about this but still does nothing.this is a issue that makes the car unsafe to drive and i think it should be recalled.
Hydraulic control unit failed on the abs system.brake pedal pressure was lost and brakes went to the floor and failed.this seems like a very common problem on this model based on reported issue with this car.brakes failed on the road while being driven.the car would stop but pedal was almost to the floor. Car has been repaired at our expense.
2009 ford fusion abs issuethe first issue with the abs occurred on wet pavement. The car in front of me stopped quickly so i had to brake hard. The abs kicked in, my brakes locked up as i started sliding sideways and then i lost all pressure in my brakes. After i recovered control of the car, i still had no pressure in the brake pedal unless i pumped the brakes many times before trying to stop. After continuing my drive and pumping the brakes along the way, the system finally corrected itself.the second issue occured a few weeks ago (jan 2017) when i went to stop at a stop sign. The intersection had a few slick spots remaining and as i went to stop, the abs kicked in and i lost the ability to stop all together. I was able to turn through the intersection without incident. The brakes have never recovered from this event. My stopping time has increased tremendously and i have to pump the brakes many times before i even try to stop. I have an appt to have the abs checked out.
After applying the brakes with much force to stop suddenly, the brake pedal remains soft/spongy. The brake pedal has remained soft/spongy since the event. The brakes still work and there is no warning or indicator light that indicating a problem with the brakes. I changed all four brake pads and the brake pedal remains soft/spongy. I have had to adjust my stopping distances.
Had to press my brake pedal all the way to the floor to get the car to stop. Took car in to dealer on 12-21-1016 and was told the brakes were now properly working. The brake problem started with i went over a speed bump on my street about 2 weeks ago. The car was in motion. I now feel unsafe driving this car.
I have been waiting over a year to get this recall fixed. Ford is not trying to get anything done with this and it is for breaks. Someone is going to get killed
While exiting off the interstate and passing over rough pavement, the abs engaged and the vehicle lost brake pressure.the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and braking ability was very weak.had to quickly pump the brake pedal several times to regain braking function.from then on the brake pedal was extremely soft. Had brakes bled, fixed soft pedal until abs again engaged.it was the same soft pedal again. Had a new master cylinder installed and lines bled, and still soft pedal.then researched problem on internet and found numerous complaints about the same brake problems.contacted 2 different local ford dealerships and they both told me this is a common problem on 2009 fusion.told me it is the abs hydraulic control unit.my conclusion is dealerships are aware of the problem, and i am sure ford motor company is aware of it also.when the abs failure happens it is dangerous.and i'm am sure it has caused accidents.this issue really needs to be resolved soon.
When braking while driving over manhole covers or bumps in the road my brake pedal goes to the floor making braking very difficult. As it appears the abs kicks in and then fails.
Recall for abs was issued back on dec 18, 2019.last update is there was supposed to be a fix expected by end of first quarter of 2020.it's now the end of first quarter of 2021 (15 months later) and there is still no indication of a repair date.in addition there is now a safety recall regarding the driver airbag as well.i understand it takes time to implement a fix, but it seem as if the manufacturer is not putting enough priority on getting these repairs done in a timely matter.at this rate, with two active safety recalls, either fixes need to be expedited; or an acceptable buy-back plan that ensures owners are compensated for the full vehicle value plus time and risk.
Only after abs brakes are engaged the brake pedal goes to the floor.please look into this asap due to the safety factor. After a day or the car is turned off the pedal returns to normal.
This has occurred several times over the past year with my 2009 ford fusion that currently has 74,000 miles on it. When pressing the brake pedal while driving over a small pothole or slightly damp road surface, the abs system engages. The brake pedal feels as though it is grinding and pushing back on my foot, and the car does not stop. I press the brake as hard as i can to try to stop the car. The brake pedal continues to feel as though it is grinding and then drops to the floor. The car eventually comes to a stop. I have nearly been in several accidents, due to the car's inability to stop immediately. Currently, i have to drive several feet behind the car in front of me, even on flat, dry road surfaces. Now when i press the brake pedal, the brakes engage, but then disengage, until the brake pedal is pressed to the floor. Once the brake pedal is on the floor, the car slowly comes to a stop. The car will not stop immediately. It is dangerous to drive the car, because of this. I must know well ahead of time when i have to stop the car.
Abs engaged while braking on icy road. After that brakes were mushy and could barely stop. Was very scared to drive for fear i wouldn't be able to stop.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 40 mph, the brakes seized without warning. The contact had to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was driven home and taken to the dealer the following day where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock brake system failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact also stated that the failure occurred three other times. The approximate failure mileage was 130,026. Updated 11/01/16*lj
Had to press my brake pedal all the way to the floor to get the car to stop. Took car in to dealer 12-21-2016 and was told the brakes were now properly working. The brake problem started when i went over a speed bump on my street about 2 weeks ago. The car was in motion. I now feel unsafe driving this car.
This is my second occurrence of a previously reported problem.on 9/26/2017, after applying brakes while driving over a speed bump on a city street, my brakes got extremely soft, going all they way to the floor before slowly stopping the car.if ii was traveling faster and this happened, the car likely would not stop quickly.the sponginess continued for several hours ofdriving before returning to normal.independent brake mechanics again could not identify the cause of this second occurance in 6 months.it seems this problem is common and could lead to accidents with injury or death.ford must fix or at least identify the source of the problem!
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brakes felt spongy and performed at half strength when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced and adjusted. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Driving in light snow approx. 20 mph, stopping at a stop sign pedal went to floor and remained soft, pumping pedal brought it up again slightly but stopping is very slow.after not moving it for a day, pedal came back up and seemed fine.second time this has happened in 6 months.it is now in the repair shop as i feel it is unsafe to drive.mechanics have said it is mechanical either master cylinder or abs valve but there is no test to determine what the problem is according to ford mechanics.there are only 73000 miles on the car.seems this happens when it is wet or snowing and it is random when it happens, however once the pedal goes to the floor it does not come back up to normal until after the car sits for a day.this is a very expensive repair and if it turns out to be the valve there is a 3 day wait to get the part, in the meantime i am forced to rent a car also.i have heard that ford is well aware of this issue but is not addressing the situation or taking responsibility for poor design and engineering.in the meantime the consumer is forced to either pay for the repair or get rid of an unsafe car.
Braking while going over a speed bump and anti-lock brakes engaged briefly.after incident, brake pedal became very soft. Have to push pedal almost to the floor before brakes grab now.
Braking issue. While driving, twice last winter, i had to brake suddenly and i lost braking ability to stop in a timely manner. The pedal goes to the floor and is very slow to stop. It takes multiple times of pumping the brake to get any pressure back up to brake.i've had multiple shops look at it and have replaced the brakes themselves and they do not find anything wrong. The last shop had to bled the brake lines and found air bubbles in the lines that need to be bled out, which seemed to help.fortunately, i have not had any accidents when this occurred but have come close.
On numerous occasions, the breaks have lost pressure after having engaged in a stop that may have engaged the abs.have to bleed the breaks after to restore pressure. Very hazardous
We have two safety recalls on our 2009 ford fusion dating back to december 2019! any idea of when these will be addressed as ford says working on a solution!!
After an abs braking event, caused by braking on a slippery surface, the brake pedal goes soft, "going to the floor," and the amount of force required to stop the car increases significantly.
Vehicle brakes get spongy and lose power while having foot on brake and going over minor bumps in the road..many times brake pedal will go to the floor after hitting bumps..this has happened more than once and has occurred at various speeds...seems to have started at about 85,000 miles and above..i feel they are waiting for someone to get seriously injured before they look into it.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, depressing the brake pedal, it went to the floorboard causing distance to be extended.as a result, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The contact did not sustain injuries neither the other driver. No police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. The contact stated that there was no warning lights illuminated. The contact called premier ford of bay ridge, 612 86th st, brooklyn, ny 11228, and informed them of the failure. The dealer informed the contact that ford had not yet provided a solution for the fix. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number:19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to shawnee mission ford (1150 shawnee mission parkway, shawnee, ks 66203, (913) 631-000) and the hydraulic control unit was replaced.the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was 143,939.
After the anti-lock brake feature has engaged, on subsequent stops the brake pedal will be very soft.i will have to pump the brake pedal in order to stop the car. When the car is turned off and sits for a period of time (hour or more) the pedal usually returns to normal. I have owned the car for 7 years, this has occurred on several occasions, the latest was 10/27/2018.
As stated in nhtsa action number: pe16017, my car is having the same issue of the brakes going to the floor and not being able to build brake pressure.i have fixed/replaced every brake component (calipers, brake booster, master cylinder) but have not replaced the abs control module.all research leads to this being the issue of the valves sticking open and causing not brake fluid pressure to build.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was applied, but felt spongy. The vehicle failed to respond and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 99,900. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that there was a failure in which the abs randomly engaged when the brakes had not been applied. Each time the failure occurred, the contact had to pump the brake pedal because it traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and recommended that the vehicle be diagnosed by a dealer. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: pe16017 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic). The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. Updated 06/21/17*lj
Issue happened 4 times in last year and a half.slight skid twice on wet pavement, once on stone driveway, and once on wet metal sensor plate leading into toll booth.all 4 times were at low speed.two times i was turning.two times i was just slowing to a stop.brake pedal went soft and braking distance increased.soft pedal gradually improved over a period of weeks, but still felt softer than it should be and i questioned the reliability.the first time it happened, i took to a mechanic who couldn't find anything wrong.the last time i took to a ford dealership, told them the symptoms, and asked them to check the hcu for the abs.they told me the master cylinder was shot and had to be replaced and they could only check the hcu afterwards, which turned out to be faulty.so they ended up replacing both the master cylinder and the hcu.the bill was $2000 but the brakes now feel like they are supposed to.
My brake pedal has gone soft and operates now much closer to the floor of the vehicle following a rather severe application of braking to avoid a collision. (i was traveling through an intersection on a major roadway at 40-45 mph when a vehicle made a left turn in front of me)immediately following the incident, i feared that the vehicle was not going to stop at the next traffic light and so it went for the remainder of the day in october , 2016.the brakes were not right.after several days i noticed that the brakes did feel a little better, however, i am sure having driven this vehicle since purchased new, they are not what they were prior to the hard stop.
Brake pedal drops to floor after hitting a pothole while vehicle is in motion. No brake warning illuminated. This occurred while attempting to brake at an intersection.
During summer 2016, slammed on brakes and swerved left thus activating the abs at highway speeds to avoid an accident with another vehicle that was changing lanes without looking, at which time, my brake pedal went to the floor and brakes lost stopping power.car continued to have diminished braking with pedal traveling to floor and taking a lot of extra distance to stop.the next day it appeared to somewhat correct itself but pedal still had extended travel and spongy pedal.took to mechanic who could not diagnose but thought it might be the abs or master cylinder.continued to drive with spongy pedal.four months later, abs activated after sliding on icy road, pedal again went to floor with little stopping power.the car would not stop within normal distance even on clear surface.carefully drove it home and scheduled dealer appointment.took car to two different ford dealers because first estimate was so expensive, but both diagnosed problem as abs hydraulic control unit.replaced hcu and brakes are back to normal feel.repair paperwork available upon request.
Driving through town on a sunny day when the light in front of me turned red.i applied the brakes and went over a small bump.after the bump the brake pedal went to the floor.the vehicle would not stop in time and i was forced to roll through the intersection.i was terrified. Thankfully, i did not cause an accident, but the brake pedal remained spongy.it feels like it has about 30% braking power. I had a total brake replacement less than 1000 miles ago.pads, rotors, bled the lines, the whole 9 yards.
While driving in slush and snowy asphalt roads, i was turning the corner on city roads at a stoplight and i started to slide so i pressed my brakes and my pedal went straight to the floor. I could pump my brakes and i would slowly slow down but in order to stop i had to press the pedal to the floor hard. I did take my vehicle in for service on 12/20/16 at a ford dealership and they replaced the abs hydraulic control unit for $1274.
Brakes suddenly became very soft, going often all the way to the floor, and is worse with no brakes if hit a bump while on the brakes.
Brake pedal goes extremely soft after the anti-lock brake system engages. It can still brake, but i have to press the pedal all the way down, touching the floor and stopping distance must be greatly increased. Stays this way for 24 hours or more.this has happened to me twice in the last 4 months on a bumpy road, going around a curve,when a vehicle pulled out in front of me and i needed to break immediately.in both instances i was onlygoing about 10-15 mph or less. After the first time this happened, the break system was replaced and fluid flushed & refilled.this did not fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 25 mph, the brakes failed without warning. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The failure occurred one other time. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
While approaching a four way intersection stop light at approximately 20-25 m.p.h. In a 45 m.p.h zone on a highway headed into the city the brakes were applied and while doing so also hit a pothole simultaneously. The brakes failed to engage in any capacity. Released pressure from brake pedal and then reapplied brakes at which point the brakes engaged and stopped the vehicle but not before overshooting initial planned stop point by 6-8 feet into the intersection. With passenger as witness.pedal now feels fine and brakes work normal. A similar situation occurred 3-4 months prior and afterwards the pedal felt spongy but went away on its own. After this most recent incident a web search turned up others having this problem that was identified as a possible bad abs hydraulic control unit. Accident was avoided but could have led to hitting vehicles entering intersection. Web results also revealed that similar incidents are being investigated by the nhtsa.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle would travel before coming to a stop. The contact would have to apply the brakes in advance in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,591. Updated 06/07/17*lj
While driving through a construction zone, we had to apply the brakes hard to avoid some oncoming traffic. The next time we applied the brakes, the brakes went almost to the floor. After turning the car off, the problem was resolved temporarily. Next, while going down a steep hill and applying the brakes hard to stop for a crosswalk, the brakes acted fine for a few seconds and then started going to the floor requiring the brakes to be pumped several times to build them back up. It has happened several times in the past few months and it seems to happen only after a hard or rough braking event. Seems as though turning the car off fixes the problem temporarily.
After braking when the abs was activated there is a loss of pressure in the car's brake pedal, which forces the driver to press much harder on the pedal to bring it to a stop.the brake pedal gets very "soft" and goes to the floor.this problem does not occur all the time but always occur after the abs has been activated . This has happened on several other occasions but this is the first i have reported it.
After coming to a hard stop on interstate due to a crash ahead brake pedal went soft and braking was diminished. I took the vehicle to a nearby ford dealer and they bled the brakes and engaged the anti-lock system in a gravel lot to 'reset' the system. I treated this as a on off anomaly until i saw in the news that others have also experienced this.
Problem occurs when vehicle is in motion. We (two drivers) experienced intermittent braking hesitation. Usually when driving on rough pavement, and especially when turning, brakes will hesitate to activate properly. Brake pedal tends to drop near the floor before braking occurs. Have noticed approximately 20-30 feet of additional pavement distance is covered before brakes fully engage. New brake pads were installed within the last 20,000 miles, but this is believed to be an issue with a faulty abs. We believe this is likely an issue with corrosion and/or sticky valves in the abs unit as others have described and posted on-line.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving into a parking lot, the vehicle loss power and the wrench warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed that the power train control module failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.updated 09/05/14*lj updated09/15/2014
Driving at 45 mph i had to brake over a bumpy section of paved road, my abs activated then the brake pedal went real soft and almost to the floorboard. My braking distance increased tremendously, i almost hit another vehicle that was in front of me. No abs warning indicator light came on before or after the incident. Brakes feel extremely weak after the incident and stiil do after pumping them many times. Approximately 82,200 miles on my 2009 ford fusion se 2.3l. Did a little research and it sounds like this is a common problem for this vehicle and should be a recall on the abs hydraulic control unit. Extreme safety concern for braking.
Brakes have gone soft after braking hard while driving on the highway in wet conditions on three separate occasions.cannot get ford to take responsibility and correct the problem.
Shortly after going over a pothole, i was then on a fairly steep downhill grade approaching a stop sign on a city street at approximately 25 mph.as i braked, there was a feeling of "release: in the brake pedal and then the pedal got very "soft".the pedal traveled much further than usual to nearly "the floor" with very little braking power taking place.right after finally stopping the brakes were still soft but returned to normal after a minute or 2 after commencing slow driving.i had the brakes/systeminspected.....no problem evident.have only owned the car one month so unsure of prior occurrences.
2009 ford fusion brake system failure.while driving 65mph and abruptly applying brakes for a second the pedal went to the floor.i tried to pump the brakes several times and then apply a lot of pressure to the pedal to get the car to brake.the pedal was on the floor and the braking distance was increase dramatically.i avoid an accident by changing lanes since my brakes had failed proper operation.i got off the next exit and in a parking lot had a hard time stopping and the pedal was spongy and on the floor.i jabbed the brakes again repeatedly and it pedal return somewhat and my braking distance had returned to normal.the pedal was still spongy and had increase travel before ingagement.after the repairs the pedal still had travel before engagement but was no longer spongy.the bottom of the pedal can be felt if pressed hard, concerning but the dealership said it was safe...
On multiple occasions, while either having to slam on brakes to make a sudden stop or when hitting a decent size bump in the road, the abs go out.after about the third time it happened, i figured out how to properly pump my breaks to make a stop, but i live in a high traffic urban area.constant stop and go which makes this very difficult.it is horrible that the recall was made 18 months ago, but a remedy has not been formed.i am contacted about 10 times a week about my airbag recall, but nothing about this.every time it happens i am terrified, especially during rush hour with my child in the car.i will also note, that every time i try to take it to a shop to be looked at, it is working again, and no issue is ever found - but research shows different.
While driving straight on an asphalt street (no unusual road surface conditions that i can recall) i braked hard to avoid a vehicle that ran a stop sign immediately in front of me.since then any time i press on the brakes they are spongy for the majority of the press down and the stopping distance is increased.the reduced braking of the car is even, it doesn't pull to one side or the other.there don't appear to be any problems with the brakes at the wheels and the problem is evidently symptomatic of a problem with the anti-lock braking system.
After the abs kicks in brake pedal becomes soft brake pedal goes to the floor brakes remain soft after engaging abs
Of a sudden, brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car almost didn't stop. There was no warning, and the brakes had worked perfectly just minutes before entering the interstate. There are 65 complaints on file for exactly this, at carcomplaints.com - almost all show misdiagnosis by ford dealerships and repair shops.
Brake failure, while driving my wife's 09 fusion the brake pedal went to the floor when stopping and hitting a pot hole.the brake pedal went all the way to floor before being able to slow the veh. The brake pedal did not return to normal until a couple days later.my wife uses hand controls which did not affect the driving in any way but has me concerned as my wife is in a wheelchair and can't put excessive force on the brakes if they were to fail like that. I tried pumping the brakes but it didn't resolve the issue, nor did pumping the brakes while the veh was turned off.
Hydraulic control unit has or is failing, causing loss of brake fluid pressure and increased compression of brake pedal to stop car.event happens when car is in motion. If a valve in the hcu is stuck open or closed, brake fluid is not moving through system properly, and this could cause loss of braking power or the ability to stop at all.
Abs activates during braking over rough surfaces causing brake pedal to feel spongy and soft afterwards. Diminished brake performance after activation of abs causing increased stopping distance. Bleeding of lines and abs unit seems to improve brake performance slightly, but never to 100% i am an automotive technician with over 15yrs experience, and this is my personal vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem since i purchased this vehicle in 2011.
While braking over a slippery surface, the abs activated. After that, when applying the brakes, the brake pedal would go way down with reduced and delayed braking action. Eventually the brakes returned to normal actuation but the process has repeated, causing delayed and reduced braking, taking the driver by surprise. This is a definite safety concern.
On a slippery road, applied the brakes and the abs came on. After that the brakes felt spongy. Mechanic said the brake fluid looks contaminated with metal flecks in brake fluid.
Abs hydraulic control unit failure....upon braking while hitting a pothole, the abs kicks on, and the brake pedal goes mushy almost to floor and car doesn't stop, only happens after abs has been activated. Operates normal at all other times. Ford knows about this problem and refuses to recall or pay for the fix, clearly not enough people have been injured or killed yet. Unreliable braking is a big problem!!!
Repairs and regular maintenance on vehicle have only been done by ford dealership mechanics. Have never taken it elsewhere until now. I have a binder of every repair and issue with my vehicle. Took vehicle up to dealership to get looked over for any issues, warranty was about to expire. Issues were a leak of my power steering high pressure line, oil leak, and coolant leak. Got fixed, headed home, had to slam on brakes on 60mph highway due to debris in the road lost from a trailer in front of me, did call police. After that brakes felt mushy. Called dealership, was told must be air in line and to pump brakes. Worked. Brakes felt stiff again.june 2015 driver on parents dirt road, slid a little on loose gravel, abs kicked in, brakes went to the floor, went through intersection, couldn't stop. Lucky it was rural road, low traffic. Pumped brakes to re pressure, after finally being able to stop. Brakes from then on stayed mushy. Took to ford mechanics on july 16, 2015 and was told brakes were fine. Could find nothing wrong. Brakes still go almost to floor before braking engages. Slid on gravel and through same intersection. Lucky again. Took to another mechanic, it's thehydrolic control unit (hcu). Was told ford only had two new units left in entire country $800 part, best bet junk yard used around $100. Was also told ford has discontinued the part but there is no other alternative replacememt. 100% factory defect, not usage. Neighbor with 08 ford fusion sel 85,000 miles had same issue. Google search says i am not alone either.
While traveling at approximately 20 mph on a generally straight, level and dry paved city street. , i was applying the brakes to gradually stop the vehicle approaching a stoplight. My right front tire entered a pothole and i felt the abs activate, i released the brake, and the abs quickly deactivated. I then pushed the brake pedal to complete the stop, but the pedal went to the floor and i pumped the brake to complete the stop. The issue persisted from that point on (driving two miles before parking).after parking overnight the issue remains, the car will stop but the pedal is soft and needs to be pumped.
I have a 2009 ford fusion sel 2.0 v6. My wife and i were travelling at highway speeds when traffic began to slow in front of us. With plenty of room to stop i began applying the brakes, but they just kept travelling until the pedal was on the floor. The car eventually stopped, but only after swerving into the narrow shoulder and narrowly missing the guard rail and stopped traffic. Since this incident the brakes are very soft and will periodically lose enough pressure to where the pedal will go all the way to the floorboard. It seems random and is very dangerous. My wife will not even drive the car anymore after our highway scare. From my reading the the zinc hydraulic control unit in the abs systemhas a coating that turns gelatinous over time when met with brake fluid. It is a very obvious and dangerous defect that should be corrected by ford, and has been in later models. That,in and of itself, should prompt a safety recall. I hope the nhtsa findings will help to protect our safety as consumers.
When i apply the breaks while moving and the car hits a bump while the breaks are applied, the breaks will get very soft for a few days.the breaking power is very bad during that time, it probably triples the stopping distance required.this has happened at least a dozen times over the past 2 years.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard and had to be pumped several times until the brakes engaged. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The contact stated that the control module was replaced, which was unrelated to the brakes. Several days later, while the contact's son was driving 40 mph, the brakes failed once again. The driver had to pump the brakes several times until they engaged. As a result, the contact's son rear ended another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The contact stated that north brothers ford (33300 ford rd, westland, mi 48185, (800) 586-4203) was contacted and stated that there were no recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is abs module and/or abs hcu (abs pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until i py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the same issue (spongy brakes, abs module failures). I have also been unable to obtain the recall replacement for passenger side airbag as they are short on parts.
While driving in my neighborhood i hit a rough spot in the road and my brake pedal went to the floor i could barely stop the car.i took the car to a local shop and they replaced the master cylinder and brake booster.still no brakes, they replaced the abs module with a used unit a new one is 1300.00 dollars and that fixed the problem 1168.00 dollars later. I called ford and if they could help me with the cost of this and they said it was not a recall.i will not be purchasing a ford product in the future.the abs module in these cars are defective.
Was driving about 10 mph in a parking lot while it was 28 farenheit out . Someone backed up without looking and i pushed on my brake to stop and the pedal went to the floor and i hit the vehicle. Felt like the abs turned on for a second then i lost all braking power. The parking lot was not slippery. Caused a scuffed bumper and bent license plate. This is very dangerous. What if i was at highway speeds and had to make a emergency stop. Im afraid to drive the car now. Did a quick online search and it turns out alot of people have this problem with the ford fusions. Other person had no insurance so im stuck with a small amount of damage to my car.
I have owned my car since 2009, when it was purchased new.it is services on regular intervals.recently, and for the first time, i had to aggressively brake to avoid a collision on a blind corner during travel on a highway.the abs kicked in do to wet, slick road conditions.since then, my brakes have been soft and require me to nearly fully depress to safely stop.this is very concerning, and appears to be a common response to abs activation in this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle, the braking distance was extended while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Additionally, while attempting to depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal ceased. The vehcile was examined by an independent mechanic who indicated that the brake valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The local dealer hempstead ford located at 301 n. Franklin st, hempstead, ny 11550 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet availalbe. Vin tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was 120,000.
On my 2009 ford fusion: the brakes started getting softer and taking longer to stop the vehicle, on the highway or city streets. I have pulled and tested the master cylinder the brakes are fine and are not low, the brakes have been bled, went through 2 large bottles of dot 3 fluid, calipers tested, but the brakes are still soft and will not catch until almost to the floor. I went to a ford dealership because they eluded to the idea that there was a fix for the recall regarding the abs valve, i got there and they said there was not a fix and the recall issue has not caused any crashes and it would not cause my brakes to go soft. I corrected him and said it has caused crashes and that is exactly what happens to the brakes. I cannot order a new abs module, no parts companies have them. So the car barely stops and still no fix available for this recall issue.
While driving, my abs activated due to slippery roads from ice. My breaks have been soft after this incident. It happened around a month ago also. This is a known issue and has been reported before.
I was driving at 40 mph on the highway in rain, abs kicked in because the car started sliding, brake pedal vibrated and after it stopped the brake pedal feels loose. I have to push the pedal almost all the way to the floor for brakes to engage. I've tried pumping my brakes but it's been a week since it occurred and i've experiencedno change. I took it to a ford dealership and was told the master cylinder needs to be replaced but they seemed so clueless i feel like it was just their best guess. I've researched the problem and i've found out that hundreds of people are wasting money on their cars trying to fix the same issue i'm having. I've recently received the airbag recall notification on my car and now a problem with my brakes has occurred. I don't feel safe in my car anymore and i hope ford will take notice to the hundreds of complaints about the brake system.
Summer of 2016 the warning light for air bag came on. Oct 20 2016 took the car into dealership. They had the car for two days, never mentioned any recall, needed the car for the weekend, they wanted me to pay for the part in advance before ordering it.do not recall how warning light appeared on the the dash board.
I was approaching a red light at low speed (20-15mph) on a rainy morning on city streets. I depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor without stopping the car effectively (the car slowed but did not stop as it normally would have if the brakes were functioning normally).as a result, i entered the intersection and hit (at low speed) another automobile that had the green light. There was moderate damage to both vehicles but no personal injuries.
Brake pedal drops to floor after hitting a pothole while vehicle is in motion. No brake warning on. This happened while attempting to brake into a right turn on a city street at less than 10 mph. Now brakes are very soft and have to press to the floor to stop.i had the brakes bled once and the issue seemed to be fixed.the next bump while brakes were pressed caused the same issue.i believe the hydraulic control module is stuck open after the abs engaged.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number:19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the parts 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. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer were made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
2 times in past two months, while driving in rain my car lost brake pressure. Once on a local street and once on a highway exit ramp.both times driving straight but trying to make a quick stop. In both times this happened while braking on a metal surface (manhole cover).i had to press the brake all the way to the floor in order for the car to stop. This loss of pressure lasted for hours/overnight.i was able to stop but the stopping process took a lot longer.i brought my car into the shop today 12/27/16 and the shop found nothing wrong.i then saw an article, today, regarding the nhtsa investigation into the loss of brake pressure in ford fusions.i am reporting thisso that it is known my ford fusion has had the same issue.
Driving car in inclement weather.was going forward ( straight) on a local road with a downhill grade at a speed of approximately 15 mph.used brake to maintain speed as i was going down the hill.the abs engagedbriefly as expected due to snow on the road.removed foot from brake briefly but when i stepped on the brake again to stop at the stop sign the brake did not engage as it usually does but instead went almost all the way to the floor before engaging.stopping distance was significantly longer that usual. If i had not allowed extra stopping distance as a precaution due to the weather i would have driven through the stop sign on to a busy road.once stopped i turned left onto a flat straight road.as i drove forward going approximately 25 mph i tested the brakes 4 additional times over a distance of approximately a mile and a half. Each time the brake petal went almost to the floor before it engaged. When it did engage it took much longer to slow the car down. I pulled into a flat parking lot and called a family member to check the area where the car was parked for evidence of a brake fluid leak.there was none.i kept the car running for approximately 10 - 15 minutes thinking the issue might be related to the cold ( it was about 20 degree fahrenheit). After allowing the car to run i tested the breaking again by accelerating and stopping in the parking lot.the brakes appeared to be working as usual.i am having the vehicle towed to the dealership as i feel it is unsafe to drive.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when the pedal was depressed. The contact had to pump the brake pedal several times in order for them to activate and stop the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who referred the contact to a dealer to have the abs module reprogrammed and the brakes flushed. The contact took the vehicle to miracle ford (located at 1394 nashville pike, gallatin, tn 37066, 615-452-5267) where the abs was flushed and the rear brakes were replaced, but the failure continued. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was determined that the hydraulic control unit and the outer tie rod end needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and opened case number: cas-25105839. The contact was referred to nhtsa to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
2009 ford fusion - brake system:i have been having trouble with my vehicle for over a year.when the anti-lock brake system (abs) engages while my car is in motion due to sudden stops, braking on wet surface, crossing uneven surface (railroad tracks) while braking, or maintaining speed while crossing a pothole my brakes become "spongy" immediately after.the brakes feel as if the brake pedal lost pressure requiring me to press my brake all the way to the floor.this has increased my stopping distance and has become a safety concern.these occurrences happened on a city street and/or highway and has happened going straight or turning.the speeds in which my abs has engaged occurred at or below the speed limit of the road i was on (i.e. 15 mph to 70 mph).at first, i would pump the brakes and my brakes would return to normal within an hour or so.it has gotten worse over the year or so and currently my brakes do not return to normal and are still in the "spongy" state.last month i had my master cylinder replaced and i thought that had fixed the problem up until yesterday when my abs engaged again crossing train tracks while decelerating.my brakes are currently in the "spongy" state due to yesterdays event.i am uncertain to what the cause of the problem is but can speculate from online forums that it could be the hydraulic control unit. Please contact me if you need any additional information.i do not currently have my invoice from the master cylinder replacement with me but can obtain it if needed once i get home.
After hitting a rough area on the road, my brake pedal went all the way to the floor. It never corrected itself. That was a few years ago and the pedal still goes to the floor every time i press the brakes. Also, the dash where the air bag is, is severely bubbled.
Driving over bumpy roadway and applied brakes. They went soft and the pedal went to the floor. Remained that way until the car was shut off.
On several occasions, after abs has engaged during braking, the brake pedal has gone soft, nearly to the floor.required braking distance is greatly increased, as is the amount of foot pressure needed to bring the vehicle to a stop.this has happened while braking in snowy conditions, and also when hitting a pothole while braking.all instances occurred under 30 mph.this problem has not occurred during heavy braking under normal operating conditions, only when the abs system is activated.no brake warning lights have turned on.for reference, the latest incident happened six months after replacing all pads, all rotors and both front calipers.
Driving 55 mpd, then went to turn and no brake response after pushing pedal after abs engaged, nearly went off the road, continued to have to push pedal all the way to floor to get any response; went away after car restarted for now; dealer said needs abs hydraulic control unit replaced
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving various speeds and attempting to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal traveled to the floor, vibrated, and the abs activated. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be pumped to come back up. The contact mentioned that the pedal would remain soft for extended periods of time during cold weather. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic control valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Brake pedal very spongy , goes almost to floor , doesn't matter moving or stopped, if pumped will come up but fades away. I notice it is not a random occurrence and is all over the various websites. If it is , why hasn't ford done anything about it? it is bad enough i can't get the airbag fixed let alone safely stop the car before i would need the airbags! as a john q. Public i don't have $1000 dollars to fix a "safety" concern that has to be known to the manufacturer. If ford values return customers they need to step up to the plate. I understand the cost of the rectifying these issues but i also as a former ford dealer employee would like to see the right thing done if they expect repeat car sales.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brakes failed when applied. The contact had to pump the brakes to stop the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic however, the mechanic could not find a defect in the braking system. The contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer nor call the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Initial experience was abs engaging while making a turn thru antiskid gravel. Pedal immediately went soft, luckily not on heavy traveled road. Returned home, disconnected battery, reconnected after a while, issue seemed to have resolved itself. Next incident was 12/9/17 during a snow event here in ne pa. When i crested a slight hill and applied the brakes to slow for stopped traffic. (high traveled road) abs engaged, pedal immediately went soft. I was unable to control the car with braking, so i steered off the road to the right shoulder area. To avoid striking a object head on, (cemetery headstone) i was able to steer back to the left, but then had to avoid a utility pole. I was concerned a) with electrical wires coming down, b) air bag deployment since vehicle is one affected by takata switches. I avoided the pole, but ended up striking a support guy wire. This resulted in over $3,000.00 damage to front of vehicle, but luckily airbags did not deploy. However, had the guy wire not stopped me i would have slid back out into traffic, as i was on snow covered grassy surface. Vehicle not driven after that. Dealer looked at vehicle in january, no codes in computer. Flushed and refilled brake system, had normal braking. Recently went around same corner as initial entry, (early march) problem immediately recurred, pedal almost to floor. As with other posters, pumping pedal does restore some brake capability, but only for that instance. Pedal is soft again directly after. I have spent $2,000.00 already, and dealer says either master cylinder or hcu, or both. Seems to be hcu based on other complaints. Car has 95,xxx miles. Nhtsa needs to get on ford to address this issue pronto, before there is a death. I purchased this vehicle based on cr reports. I am not happy. It seems once they have your money, they don't care. Car not purchased new, had low mileage, one previous owner.
After abs engaged, loss of brake feel and an increase in stopping distance.the top inch of pedal travel felt normal followed by several inches of no brake "feel" until near the bottom of pedal travel where braking resumed.this occurs only after the abs engages and lasts for several minutes to several days after.brake loss resulted in a near collision.abs engaging after event is not as effective as initial abs event resulting in increased stopping distance while abs is engaging.this has occured multiple times with the most recent event happening on 7/13/2017.issue usually resolves a day or two after occurimg but will reoccur if abs is engaged again.
2009 ford fusion. Consumer writes in regards to nhtsa safety recall 19v-904. The consumer stated the dealer would not answer or return calls so the recall repair could be scheduled.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 20 mph, the abs malfunctioned. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the brake pedal extended approximately 3/4 of the way down. The vehicle lunged forward as if the contact had come to an emergency stop, but only minimal pressure was applied to the brake pedal. The contact stated that the brake malfunction was intermittent. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.
Tl the contact's grandchild, austin lucas, owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the driver slammed on the brake pedal and it traveled to the floorboard. As a result, the driver crashed into an unknown animal. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not damaged and was driven back to the contact's residence. An independent mechanic test drove the vehicle and determined that the anti-lock braking system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 153,000.
The first time this happened was 3-4 years ago. My wife was braking at a stop light and hit a small pothole in which the break petal went all the way to the floor and she was able to come to a full stop even though it took a lot longer to do so.she pulled over and i had to pick her up and took the car into a local break repair chain.by the time they were able to check it out the breaks were working fine again.when we described the issue they could not find any reports of this on the internet.i believe this was the first time the break fluid was changed since the locations indicated wet or dirty break fluid can cause these symptoms.this happened a few more times to my wife and she decided she would no longer drive the car.i then started driving and again in a similar scenario in which i was breaking and ran over a manhole cover the breaks went to the floor and was difficult to stop the car.i again took it to another break specialist franchise and they could not find an issue with the car or on the internet although the breaks pedal has become soft and has remained that way.break fluid was changed again for being dirty.my breaks have continued to be soft and will replicate the issue when braking and hitting a bump but appears to be only when the bump hits the front right wheel.i need to get my break pads replaced now and decided to research this issue again and i am finding that this is a very common problem.why hasn't ford recalled this product or doing anything to make it right with their customers.
The vehicle: 2009 ford fusion vin #[xxx] was recalled due to defected anti-lock braking system my son purchased the vehicle in december 2018 from drive now motors, hillsborough blvd, tampa (now located on florida ave.) the owner name is sam. I added the vehicle to my existing insurance with windhaven.we returned the vehicle a few weeks after purchasing due to the brakes not working properly. The dealership made some adjustments and told us it was fine. But i continue to complained after they made adjustment because it still did not work right for me, but the owner did not want to help us any further.on april 10, 2019, the car was totaled when my son lost control of the car driving into our community wall.we reported the accident to windhaven insurance; they opened the claim but we heard nothing else about it. They did pay for the wall repair in our community.almost a year later, we received the safety recall notice from ford (in january, 2020). I contacted windhaven again and was told the state (figa) was handling this claim, and given the 800# to get more information. After making numerous contact with the figa, i was told my insurance was cancelled because windhaven went out of business; and i had to send an email to request my claim be reopened and investigated with this new (recall) information.i also contacted ford manufacturer about the recall and the brakes problems that led to the accident. The representative took my information and said he will investigate and contact me, but i never heard back from them. I, therefore, contacted figa again and was eventually referred to an adjuster. [xxx]. He referred me to this complaint page because he said there was nothing else can be done because we didn't have comp and collision. We need this matter investigated because the incident with the brakes is counting against my son.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
For the last few months i have had intermittent problems with my braking system. Many times, when i would apply the brakes as i was going over uneven surfaces or gravel, the abs system would engage and the brake pedal would lose pressure. During this time i would have to apply a much greater force to the pedal to get the car to stop. Almost every time this would happen, i would not stop where i was intending to, but would go by my intended target. Until today, this has not caused problems. However, today, i was traveling at a speed of approximately 25mph as i was going down a hill and approaching a turn. As i was applying the brakes the abs system engaged unexpectedly, the pedal lost all pressure and went straight to the floor, and the car was not slowing down at all. I lost control of the vehicle, went over a curb, hit an embankment and finally came to a stop.i had the vehicle looked at, immediately, by my local mechanic. He told me that the general braking system seemed to be in good working order (pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, pressure, master cylinder, etc...) he mentioned that this model of vehicle had some problems with the abs systems and recommended that i take it to my local ford dealer. I have an appointment with them this week. In the meantime, i researched the abs issue he mentioned and found the open investigation into exactly my problem. This is another complaint showing that this problem is very real and quite dangerous.nhtsa action number: pe16017
Ford has issued an advance recall notice 19s54 (nhtsa 19v904) with interim suggestion of brake fluid flush, reservoir cap replacement, and hydraulic control unit (hcu) testing and replacement if necessary. The issue is that some recommended brake fluids have corrosive agents that degrade the hcu and cause it to stick open. When this happens the brake pedal travels further than it should increasing the risk of accident. I have had this happen twice with no accidents, but it is very scary as the brakes have to be pumped to work properly. I contacted a local ford agent who has declined to provide the recommended interim solution with free parts and labor as recommended on the advance notice. Since the first time my issue happened was prior to receiving the recall notice and resolved itself (intermittent) quickly. The second time this happened i was aware of the recall and haven't driven my vehicles since. I did not contact the ford dealer immediately as i had access to an extra vehicle. However, i have since lost that access and now need this issue resolved and have not received the second recall notice that was promised when parts became available for final solution. I do not have the funds to pay for interim resolution and need ford to honor the language of the advance recall notice so i feel safe driving the car. Both times i experienced the brake pedal issues was while driving on city streets. However, my son experienced the issue while on highway driving. I confirmed the issue while driving it during my second experience.
When pushing my brakes, the pedal will be all the way to the ground and the car will not stop. It will gradually slow down and almost feels sponge like. After taking the car to the ford dealership in town they told me that several ford fusions were having this problem and the part itself to fix it was $1300. As well as several hours of labor. The total bill would be $3000. They refused to drive the car and condemned it undriveablestating the brakes could go out at any moment. We had to have the car towed back to my house.
Have lost breaking when making turn and applying brakes on rough roads (in winter) the brake pedal went to the floor in order to stop and after quite some time the brakes would return to "normal" and then tis problem would reoccur, to date this has happened several times over a two and a half period, when taken into mechanic he could find no problem, he has suggested to replace the master cylinder, how ever i have never had a master cylinder fail and then fix itself and then fail over again and again, i believe it is the abs control valve and i feel that this is not a normal wear issue, and that ford should do a total recall to repair this "safety" issue.
This has occurred several times over the past year with my 2009 ford fusion.when going over railroad tracks, hitting black ice and when pressing the brake pedal while driving over a small pothole.it has been in for service 3 times, and they can't find anything wrong with it.the most recent incident happen a few weeks before christmas.the mechanic told me not to drive it until he could look at it which happen to be after christmas.on this occurrence, i hit a small patch of black ice and a small pothole while coming to a stop light, the abs engaged and the brakes dropped to the floor and remained soft.this sounds like a real safety issue, please issue a recall!the mechanic again could not find a problem with anything and the brake pedal had returned to normal by the time he had it at the shop.
Was slowly pullingfwd to park in parking space and when put foot on brake to stop, it kept going.car went over the cement parking block onto sidewalk and hit heavy duty cement pillar.only damage was my license plate and hopefully little else on my car.
I own a 2009 ford fusion sel with the 3.0 engine. I have a problem with the brakes. The brake pedal is very sponge, i have replaced pads, calipers, and the master cylinder. This has not taken care of the problem, i have reviewed other information and it seems this is a very common problem. Ford has not done anything about it. I have researched more of this problem and the only thing left is the abs pump and motor. My research shows this has taken care of the problem, the cost to do this is approximately $1500. Plus labor cost. I have not had any close call accidents as some of the other complaints. This is and could be a accident waiting to happen. This problem occurs all the time while driving.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving in the snow, the brake pedal was depressed, but required excessive force to stop the vehicle. The abs warning indicator illuminated. An independent mechanic was contacted. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000. The vin was not provided.
My vehicle is under recall for a faulty part on the breaking system, i called ford on friday 5/22/2020 ( sunshine ford newburgh, ny) and was told they do not have the part and cannot even order it at this time. Also they have no idea when they can order it, it could be months. My car is un-driveable withoutthe new part. I just had the entire breaking system replaced ( calipers, rotors,and pads ). There excuse and response is unacceptable. Please help i need my car to get back to work. Thank you*dt
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the abs failed. The contact stated that the front two wheels seized on several occasions, resulting in a series of skid patterns and near crashes. The contact stated that the failure occurred at least eight times since july of 2018. In addition, the contact stated that there was a loss of brake pressure for a period of approximately 24 to 72 hours after the failures. Encinitas ford (1424 encinitas blvd, encinitas, ca 92024, (888) 700-8208) was made aware of the failures, but they could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
Ton of complaints about hydraulic control unit abs , failing, car feels unsafe to drive, my car only has 33000 miles on it.
I have brand new brakes and rotors on.a few weeks ago on a snowy day i had to engage the abs system.after that i have a very soft spongy brake feel to my brakes.it is taking full engaging of brakes to come to a complete stop now.i don't feel like the car is safe.
After emergency stop brakes became soft, they would pump up but would not stay up. Had car repaired new hcu very costly (1500 dollars) i see that this is a problem that has been reported before. Ford needs to fix this problem, not their customers
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle vibrated and failed to slow down or stop without warning. The brake pedal became very loose. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. A friend of the contact, who works as a ford mechanic, diagnosed that the electronic control module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
Hit patch of ice and had abs system engage.immediately afterwards the brakes became soft and wouldn't engage until the pedal was almost to the floor.car has 70k miles on it.
Driving on on a rough surface and applied the brake ' the brake pedal "went soft," requiring extraordinary pressure to activate the brakes. This has happened before and usually turning off the car resets it. It did not reset quickly this time but took the weekend to go back to normal.
Brake pedal is soft after abs activated resulting in unexpectedly increased stopping distance. I recently had the mast cylinder replaced to fix this, but the problem persists. After several hard pumps of the pedal, it's firmness is restored.
Have been dealing with a brake issue for a few months. Took it to a mechanic who replaced the brakes pads. After they were replaced, the brakes still felt off. I would have to push the brake pedal down all the way to the floor for it to stop completely. Took it to a second mechanic who then replaced the master cylinder. Still had the same issue. When i returned to the mechanic, he looked over the air and stated there was nothing else wrong with it. Finally i went to dunphy ford where the greeter stayed he already knew what the problem was before i finished explaining the complete issue. He assured me it was the hcu (which of course was almost $1000 to replace) so i had it replaced. After picking up the car it felt fine for the first two days. The. The issue started happening again. When i returned the car to ford, they told me it was the rear rotors. I asked how could they miss that when they replaced the hcu, there was no answer. The rotors were replaced. That night i went to pick up my car. After driving off, my brakes now made a very loud squealing sound and sort of clanking sound every time i hit a small bump on the road coming from the right side of my car. Well i checked every tire and found one of the lug nuts was loose on the front passenger side of my car. Called them and had he car & brakes looked over once again. This time they tightened the lug nuts and 'buffed' the rotors. The brakes still make a pretty loud sound when i brake but no one can seem to figure out the issue. Not even ford. I can send in invoices and receipts if needed
I was on an on-ramp going about 25-30 mpg in heavy traffic. At the left bend in the ramp i hit a small pothole that activated the abs.the brake petal went all the way to the floor. The brakes have not gone back to normal pressure. The petal is too soft.i have to pump the brakes for every slow down.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would not immediately respond until the pedal was depressed approximately 1/2 way down. The braking distance was extended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the abs module, but the failure continued. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 85,000.
My 2009 ford fusion has a major problem with the abs hydraulic control unit,my brakes are very soft do no stop as they should.this has caused danger to myself and other drivers.while pressing the brake pedal it keeps moving toward the floor and there's no stopping power.it feels like you're not going to stop at all.my husband refuses to let me drive the car anymore.i've called two local ford dealerships and they tell me that the part is "part number sensitive" and is obsolete.i'm left with a car with no brakes and no parts available to repair it.ford is a disappointment!
3 times in the last 2 months, my car's abs has engaged and i lost most braking ability afterwards. Twice it happened while running over manhole covers while slowing, when abs shouldn't have gone off. Once was in snow, during gently braking which also shouldn't have engaged it. After each time, the brakes were immediately extremely soft and spongey, going all the way to the floor before working. Once i actually coasted thru the stop sign and ended up in the road before being able to stop, thankfully no one was coming. When we bled the brakes, they would be firm and normal again, until the next time abs engaged. Research and mechanic says it's likely the abs hcu, an expensive repair that we cannot afford. My research also turned up that this is a common problem in these years of fusion, and that there is an open investigation into it: pe 16-017. Please consider recalling these cars and fixing the units! the alternative to not being able to fix it is to pull the abs fuse, making the abs inactive, and that is not safe. But it is what i would guess most of us will do, as we're not driving 8-10 yr old cars because we're well-off financially, and a $1200 repair is a significant portion of the car's value. My car has 109,000 miles if it matters. Thank you for your consideration.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was depressed, it traveled to the floorboard. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake line needed to be flushed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 107,919.
Issue has occurred multiple times since i have owned this vehicle to now. Whenever the abs system engages (hard braking to due snow/ice or obstruction avoidance), immediately following that the brake pedal becomes incredibly spongy or non-existent and braking becomes very difficult without pumping the brake pedal or engaging the hand brake.i've had the pads, rotors, rear calipers, and slide pins replaced and the system flushed and inspected multiple times.i have found that if you pull over ans shut the car off for a few minutes and restart it tends to work until you have the same issue come up..
Last week i was braking for a red light downtown in the city where i work when i went over a large bump in the road. The abs briefly kicked on, followed by the pedal dropping to the floor from a complete loss of brake pressure. This caused me to continue past the red light and through the intersection. Luckily no one else was in the intersection at the time. After frantically pumping my brakes repeatedly, i finally regained a little brake pressure about a half a block from where the incident occurred. My brakes remained very mushy, however, for six days until yesterday. I went over a large pothole in a city street as i was preparing to turn into my neighborhood when suddenly, i completely regained all braking pressure. This is not the first time this has happened. Something similar has happened at least three different times that i can recall over the past three years. Once, i was braking on a busy bridge during rush hour and hit a patch of ice, causing me to lose braking pressure and narrowly avoid a rear end collision. Another instance occurred when i had to make a hard brake on a bumpy highway while it was raining. The pedal again dropped to the floor, causing me to veer across a lane of oncoming highway traffic and into a parking lot before i could get it to stop. The most recent instance before the incident last week happened on a clear day when i was braking over a rough patch of city street. All instances resulted in a loss of pressure, the brake pedal dropping to the floor, and mushy brakes for a period of time afterward. The last instance made me fear for my safety, especially after realizing this is a continuing pattern. I am filing this formal complaint in hopes that something can be done before someone is seriously injured or killed as a result of this malfunction.
Vehicle is taking a long time to stop.
When driving on wet or slippery surface and need to brake the brakes lock up and don't unlock until car comes to a complete stop. My speed is not really a factor it has scared the sh*t out of me and i won't let my wife or kids drive my car when these conditions are present. I've had a mechanic look at it and he can't figure it out.
I was driving and needed to stop quickly on uneven pavement. When i pushed the brake pedal, it was almost like something slipped and the brakes would not catch. I then lost the pressure in my brakes and was unable to come to a complete stop. I was able to slow the car down and pump the brakes to get the pressure back. But it has not functioned the same since and the braking system is unreliable at best. I've since had brake pads, rotors, and the master cylinder replaced with not much improvement. I will be trying to replace the abs hcu unit. I really think this needs to be a recall at this point. I drive a maximum of 10 miles most days and am not hard on my vehicle. It should not break from braking on uneven pavement.
On aug 8, 2019 my right front wheel crossed over a dip in the road while making a right turn. I pressed my brake and almost immediately i had an 'empty' feeling in my brake pedal. I could press the brake paddle completely down without much resistance. Had my rotors and brake pads checked next day but all 100%. Learned that the hydrolic control unit (hcu) unit was affected. A known ford fusion failure and costly to replace!!!recall ford!!!
2009 ford fusion brake problems. The brake pedal intermittenly goes down the floor unexepectly. I had to stand on the brake pedal to stop the car. This issue has been reported to murphy ford, chester pa on 4 occasions.this car has been towed twiceto murphy ford ,concerning this issue. Murphy ford could not duplicate this problem. After the 4th visit, and murphy ford could not duplicate the problem, i requested that the master cylinder be replace. This car is unsafe and ford should correct this problem. I am authorizing the nhtsb to review my vehicle service record from murphy ford concerning this issue.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 40 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was unknown.
When abs brakes engage they malfunction and my brake pedal goes soft. It takes until the pedal is to the floor to brake.it happens every time the abs needs to engage.this has been happening for about 2 years off and on.now the abs system is completely broken and the car is unable to be driven until the full abs system is replaced.
Takata inflators:i am having a very hard time breaking when i need to break. Over the past winter, i've slid through several red lights and had to blow on my horn to alert on coming traffic to stop. I've been told by the shops that i should not even be driving my car. This is very dangerous and overwhelming. Ive came out of a lot of money on breaks, pads, master cylinder repairs,etc. And would just like to be able to drive normally. I have to press all the way down to stop my car at all times. My breaks never feel normal. This has been going on for a little over a year now
Ford issued a recall in 2020.they repeatedly refused to repair the defect, saying their corporate office had not authorized payment.more than a year later, they finally scheduled me for an appointment to fix the recall defect (brakes).in the meantime, a second recall (airbag) had been issued.at the recall repair appointment, they fixed the airbag recall issue.however, while working on the brake recall issue, they broke the calipers.they jerry-rigged it to function safely.they did not repair the damage they caused.they did not even fix the recall issue, despite having the parts on hand to do so.now they say they don't have the parts to fix the damage they caused, and haven't fixed the original recall.
After hitting a bumpy road my brakes went to the floor and stopping power just went away. Checked at shop. All pads replaced. Fluid changed completely twice. Master cyl and hoses not leaking, now i have really weak braking system from the federally mandated system49 cfr 571.135 - standard no. 135 that is installed in my car and cant get it repaired. Do i just throw a car i bought brand new away?mileage 88000 started now at 92000. New tires and talked to ford house but no one will commit to any answers. Have a student trying to drive this car in college and around town. Roads are rough from drought and constantly trying to pump brakes but it makes no difference while driving. If just starting off for the day a lot of times you have good brakes until something happens and they just go away. Hard to watch road,speedpeople and pump brakes all the time. Lets go . Step up and do your job........... No injuries yet close calls at traffic lights.
The brake pedal will initially slow down vehicle at first but then you have to push all the way to the floor to get vehicle to stop.like pushing on air at first and then you push to the floor.i drive and to slow down requires staying early and pushing all way down to floor.
Takata recall air bags still have not been fixed due to lack of replacement parts.abs braking system, brake pedal goes soft after hard breaking and turning, car continues to roll with very little stopping power.once car was shut off and turned on againpedal came backand stopping power came back to normal.the vehicle was in motion on a city street in a drizzling rain and swerved to avoid a car thatattempted to turn in front of me, i hit the breaks and swerved to avoid an accident, then when approaching a light approx. 3 blocks away, the pedal went soft and i coasted to a stop.this continued for the rest of the ride approx. 2 miles.i reached the destination and shut the car off, when i came back to the car i started it and the breaks worked fine for stopping from that point on to my home. I had to ride the break pedal for quite a distance before stopping when the pedal went soft.there was no accident however it was a very tense drive not knowing if i would be able to stop my vehicle and hoping that nobody would cut me off and i would need to stop quickly because that was not going to happen.i noticed there are many complaints regarding this and i feel that ford should be recalling and replacing the parts necessary at no cost to the vehicle owner. According to a ford tech it is the abs control valve, and it is a costly repair.
While approaching an intersection, brakes were applied for a red light which lost all hydraulic pressure after front right wheel went over a pothole. To fully stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be pushed fully to the floor. Subsequent driving showed virtually no return of hydraulic pressure in the brakes. This occurred within months ofhaving brake pads, rotors, fluid, and master cylinder inspected by ford-branded dealer.
Abs control module valve sticking. The 1st event happened during the winter when driving in snow and the abs system engaged. After the event the pedal would go almost all the way to the floor before the brake would engage. After re-creating an intentional brake slide causing the abs system to engage again the valve became "unstuck" and has been fine for a year. But, once again on a dirt road the abs system engaged due to braking on gravel. One of the valves is stuck again and recreating the event making the abs system re-engage has not cured the problem. This is a safety issue and with 1500 miles to drive home while on vacation is going to be a white knuckler.it's hard to think that we have to spend $1000.00 for a repair that will only last until the abs system is needed again and another valve sticks! this is a faulty part design and should be recalled and replaced with a dependable part.
I had been complaining to ford mechanics of the local dealership here in los angeles of this braking-problem since sometime around 2014!i had explained several times that when the vehicle would be in motion (driving the car) and i would be passing through a rough section of street (many pot-holes) and would need to brake due to traffic, and then i would lose pressure on my braking-pedal.this has happened several times over the past five-years (at least i recall 6 times)'one of those times i almost had a big accident, luckily i was driving on a non-high-traffic street and i was able to steer to the side of the street where no-cars were parked'luckily.so, in some of this occasions i took the car to the local ford dealership (quick lane tire & auto center that works in conjunction with the local ford dealership) and explained the situation about the braking problem.'when driving the car and going through a rough patch of the street (uneven street with potholes and other possible street holes) and would need to brake, the pedal would lose pressure and go almost to the floor''so they would only adjust the brakes and that was it.'this past may 4 2019, it happened again, going through a rough patch of the street i had to brake and the brake pedal lost pressure (to the floor)!!lots of discussions in regards to this problem seem to point to the hcu abs loosing pressure when going through rough sections of a street and applying the brakes.however, at this point we still do not know if ford motor company will ever address this problem (huge dangerous problem)!do we have to wait for someone to be killed out there?
I was parking my 09 fusion at my son's preschool, and was almost stopped in the spot, when my car violently and unexpectedly accelerated forward up over a 4 inch curb. I pressed on the brake as hard as i could, but it was the tree that i hit that stopped me. There was no damage to the car, but i had both my children (4 years old and 11 months old) in their car seats with me at the time.this is the second time it has happened while parking. Both times i was going less that 10 mph and was almost at a complete stop when the car unexpectedly lurched forward. Will not put my children back in this vehicle until this problem is fixed; is not drive-able.
Brought my 2009 ford fusion new in 2009. Problems started a few years after i brought it. When driving my car, if i hit a pothole, driving in the rain or when the roads are wet, i have to come to a stop, my brakes seem to fail. I am literally pushing my brakes all the way down to the floor, but the car does not come to a stop. This happens for, it seems like minuets,but probably only seconds, but while happening i feel the brakes start to vibrate, then eventually comes to a stop.there have been two instances where i came within inches of hitting the car in front of me.i don't feel safe in this car and will only drive it short distances around where i live for fear of having my brakes failing. I fear that i will injure myself or some one else.or worse, there will be a fatality involving my car.during my routine maintenance, i have them look at my brakes and every service person says that my brakes are fine. I even had my front and rear brake job done in 2014. Within a few months of having the job done it happened again. It has happened only once since then, but again i drive it short distances at lower speeds around my neighborhood only now.when i look this up i see that there have been many people complaining and describing that the same thing is happening to their cars. Same year/model. It looks it has to do with the abs brake issue and ford is aware of it and no recall has happened as of yet!!! this is a safety issue and need attention now!
After applying brakes and engaging the abs while the road was wet or had snow on it, the pedal goes almost completely to the floor and stays soft until i continuously pump the brakes to get it back to normal. The car has done this approximately 6 times over the past 3 years i've owned the car. It has 115k miles on it. A lot of people are having the same issue and supposedly it is the hcu. I have not gotten it fixed yet due to the price and availability of the part.
Service brakes goes to the floor upon normal braking causing a severe safety issue
Under stopping sometimes brake pedal will get soft and brake pedal will go to the floor making car hard to stop. This has been noticed after abs system has engaged. This car has 88k on the odometer.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving the vehicle at various speeds and applying the brake pedal, the brakes felt spongy or soft. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
The brakes on my 2009 ford fusion are hardly functional.when you apply the brakes, the pedal goes nearly to the floor with a greatly extended braking distance. This has resulted in a few close calls for accidents. I have had the car in the shop multiple times. The first time they turned the rotors. The second time, they "computer bled" the brakes. The last time the shop contacted ford directly and they were told that the hydraulic control unit is a problem in this model. If they know there is a problem, why is there no recall to fix this issue.just a little research on the internet show that the problem is widespread.
19s54 recall . Spoke with ford and took car to dealership. Break pedal goes to floor. Been advised by dealership that ford will not take any action until first quarter of 2021. If i want to correct the problem now it will be $1,300.00 that i may or may not be reimbursed.the recall has been out for over a year, they only have the parts if you pay for them. Please assist
Brake petal goes to the floor mechanic cannot find issues
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and took an extended amount of time to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs pump and brake master cylinder needed to be replaced and followed up by a brake fluid flush. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 144,000.
While driving downhill on wet roads, the brake pedal was soft and non-responsive, causing me to be unable to stop the vehicle in time to avoid the car stopped in front of me. I had plenty of time to stop under normal circumstances but i pushed the pedal to the floor and it didn't react.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 5 mph the vehicle would not stop after the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.updated 02/21/17*lj
Braking failure 3 times from august 2016 - october 2017.each time vehicle was traveling between 30 and 50 miles per hour when brake pedal was pushed, and then brake pedal 'went soft' or 'went to the floor' only slowly slowing the vehicle.each time car was successfully pulled to a safe stop.braking returned to normal after sitting over night.brakes serviced after first two incidents.after oct 2017 incident problem was duplicated by service tech by breaking quickly and turning wheel on freeway off ramp, i don't know how fast they were traveling.have been told that problem is abs pump.
Abs system unresponsive,parking brake was needed just to stop car.
Vehicle was called in for the above recall on may 20, 2021.upon arrival at dealership, we were informed that the part was not available.part availability keeps getting pushed back month-to-month until now the projection is the end of august.the dealership kept our car for two months saying that it was unsafe to drive.just this week they returned the car to us unrepaired saying that it is now safe to drive.that is inconsistent and illogical.
While recently driving on snow, the brakes seemed to almost malfunction after abs was activated. I had topress the brakes almost to the floor to brake which delayed my ability to brake almost causing my vehicle to not stop in time. This happened while driving at any speed in slick conditions that would activate the abs system. Pumping the brakes would help to bring the brake pressure back but would almost instantly go out again the next time i had to brake. This significantly decreases my ability to drive safely.
I was moving about 40mph going straight and when i hit the brakes to turn they went to the floor applying no braking action at all. I was lucky that i was going straight on a country road with no traffic or this could have been catastrophic. There are no brake fluid leaks, pads have maybe 15,000 miles on them and are good. There were no warning lights illuminated in the car. Several months back after the abs was activated the brakes got soft and reset after the car was shut off and sat for a while. There were literally no brakes whatsoever today. After letting the car sit for a while turned off the brakes are back, but the pedal is still soft and i don't want to test drive the car as it is too dangerous. This appears to be a common problem from looking at various web pages that should be addressed asap.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact mentioned that the vehicle stopped, but it was very minimum stopping action. In addition, while the vehicle was parked for an hour, the contact had to pump the brake pedal in order for the vehicle to function properly. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,500.
Takata recalli was in a wreak because the brakes in the floor when i was driving in the rain on the highway. The air bag in the steering wheel came out.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal failed to engage. The contact mentioned that the issue started after sliding on ice and the abs were engaged. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs brakevalves were opened and no pressure was being applied to the brakes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,600.
Today i experienced a frightening degree of brake failure. I was on a freeway off ramp which was on a downgrade. As i was going over some minor bumps in the road, i applied my brakes and lost about 80% of the brakes. I heard a strange noise and thought it might be the anti-lock brakes. I had to push my foot way down to the floor to stop the car & it did stop. This failure continued for about 5-7minutes while driving in stop & go city street traffic. I was ready to pull over at a safe spot when i noticed the brakes returned to full power and continued to work properly for the last 10 minutes of my drive. Now i'm afraid to drive this car, especially with children or passengers. I received a recall notice earlier this year regarding the anti-lock braking system on my car. It was dated january 2020: 19s54 / nhtsa recall 19v-904. I've researched this problem and see that it has caused accidents already.when i called ford about this notice, i was told it was only an 'alert' and they'd let me know when parts are available. That was 9 months ago. The notice said parts were anticipated to be available the late first quarter of 2020.now that i've experienced this deadly hazard, this is not acceptable when the possibility of a crash exists due to brake failure! i want to get my car repaired now. Please tell me how to go about this and prevent any future accident, injury or death.
Whenever i need to brake, the pedal goes to the floor, and there is minimal resistance from the brakes.this applies to abs situations (rainy, icy weather) and dry conditions when brakes are needed suddenly (highway slowdown, animal jumping in the road).this applies to traveling at any mph, including highway and city driving. The pedal also drops to the floor when the car is in park. Pumping the pedal is required to feel any resistance, but it is necessary every time the brakes are needed.time and distance needed to slow down are exponentially more than even a year ago.brake pads were replaced 3 years ago, fluids were flushed, replaced, and bled 4 months ago.auto body shops report all is well and that there is no reason my brakes should be so slow to react or the pedal should drop to the floor.
Spongy brake pedal after abs is triggered. Issue lasts several days to several weeks.longer than expected braking distances.need to push the pedal almost to the floor to get the car to stop.
Both my wife and i experienced the brake pedal going soft so that we had to press down further and the brake pedal traveled down further to get to firm resistance. The car would not brake normally but required more pressure to brake the car and took longer to stop.we felt unsafe.it occurred at various speeds, when trying to stop.the problem is intermittent and we do not know when it will occur or why it is happening.this happened when trying to stop for street lights or stop signs and occurred this past month, the beginning of december 2016.it happened when we were traveling straight or on a curve coming to a full stop.it happened on more than one date, several times towards the beginning of december 2016
Abs system engaged on a gravel road when braking. Brakes are now soft after abs system engaged. Like so many other fusion owners, this is a hydraulic control unit malfunction.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 55 mph, the brakes were applied; however, the brake pedal depressurized after the abs was activated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 98,000.
When car is in motion and hits a bump the brake pedal goes soft and it is hard to stop.this has happened on multiple occasions and is still ongoing.have taken it to 3 shops and they can find nothing wrong.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal failed without warning. The contact had to pump the brake pedal several times to engage the brakes even after turning off and restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The contact was informed that the hcu needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 141,000.
The brake pedal went soft; once whendriving on a slippery surface and twice on uneven surfaces as i was braking when going over a bump. Once the vehicle was turned off it seemed as if it reset and the problem went away. It happened three times. The date i entered below was the last time.
Brakes go to floor. No leaks, master cylinder is ok, rotors pads are new.
Driving at about 35 mph going straight, i stepped on the brakes so that i could turn, snow/ice covered roads, abs engaged. I continued on driving after that at about 45 mph, went to stop to turn into my driveway and the pedal went to the floor with no brake action at all. No fluid leaks,no warning lights on the dash, pads had maybe 25k miles on them, everything was working fine until the abs engaged on my first turn.a few months back, after the abs was activated the brakes got soft/spongy. After the car was shut off and sat for a while, the brakes reset. Today, my car felt like it had no brakes. This appears to be a common problem from some of the research i have done online.
This issue has occurred multiple times since i have owned this vehicle from 2011 to now.whenever the abs system engages (hard braking to due snow/ice or obstruction avoidance), immediately following that the brake pedal becomes incredibly spongy or non-existent and braking becomes very difficult without pumping the brake pedal or engaging the hand brake.i've had the pads, rotors, rear calipers, and slide pins replaced and the system flushed and inspected multiple times.no matter what parts i throw at my car, nothing seems to solve this issue.
Brakes fail and go to floor randomly despite repairing every known part associated with brake failure. I have been forced to drive onto the road shoulder twice this week.
Driving in city traffic, i was turning left and hit a rough patch of road. The car in front of me stopped because of road construction, when my fusion hit the rough patch due to the construction and i applied my brakes, the pedal was very soft, going down to the floor board causing a car accident. Called ford corporate office and gave v i n info, no recall has been issued as of today's date. Happen again existing freeway, had to pump the brake pedal several times to get the car to stop. Both times occurred in 2015, hasn't happen since. Read on the internet about hydraulic control valve, describes exact circumstance that happen to me. Hope to god they recall this part.
I was driving as normal slowing to cross railroad tracks, doing this caused the abs to engage briefly. Braking each time afterwards the pedal would go almost completely to the floor before stopping. After researching im confident that it's a stuck valve in the abs module.
Very snowy where i live, whenever i hit ice and brake the abs will kick on and off like its spossed to. After the abs does its job the pedal gets very soft for quite a long time. It isnt until the next day the pedal is fully hard. One time the abs was working the pedal went all the way to the floor.
I have experience a soft brake pedal during/after going over a bump, and its occurs randomly and has happen to me a few times. I have had numerous components replaced and even after taking to the dealer and having the brake line go through a bleeding the issue did not resolve. It is very clear in a youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r46_unyyk8 video online that the issue is the hcu and despite my efforts in directing attention to this video and findings, i have been constantly instructed to open a complaint. I finally let the dealer do extensive examination and replacing ultimately for them to replace the hcu and correct the problem. Components that have similar symptoms are master cylinder and booster causing loss of pressure in the pedal. These are not the issue...i have also had an accident where a person ran the red light and i did not have pedal to come to a sudden stop. This need to be addressed before someone gets killed.
The contact owned a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that she just purchased the vehicle for her daughter at j & j auto group inc, 804 s cicero ave, chicago, il 60644, and after leaving the dealer while her daughter was driving at 30 mph, the brake pedal got stuck, her daughter was unable to control the vehicle. As a result, her daughter crashed into two vehicles that were park and then run into a fence of an apartment building. The contact mentioned that one of the vehicle that was park was totaled. The contact stated that her daughter sustained injuries to the face, bruises to the arm, cut to the left eyes, back, head concussion and three broken ribs on the left side that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a pound tow lot. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic testing. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact received nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.
Dangerous brake problem. During wet conditions brakes lock up when applying the brakes quickly. The car will shake like it is going over a high grate in the road when it is the brakes stuttering. The pedal goes to the floor and the car does not stop for at least 25 feet.i have had three near collision due to this problem. Since 2012 i have had to replace the rosters twice but it does not fix the problem. There has been thousands of complaints about this problem and something needs to be done.
Brake pedal went to the floor while braking.this happened three (3) times while the wife was driving the car; had a hard time stopping.twice in 2017 and once in 2018.the events happened while trying to stop for a stop sign on city streets.
On may 19 my son was returning from the gym. He was travelling on the main road in our area (speed limit 55 mph). As he approached a traffic light he began to slow down.he had slowed to approximately 25 mph and the brakes were functioning normally. Then he drove over a rough patch of asphalt with lots of small pot holes or bumps. After hitting one of those pot holes the brake pedal immediately went all the way to the floor. He had almost now braking power at all. Thankfully there was plenty of distance between him and the car in front of him, as well as a slight uphill grade to the road at that point. He was able to stop just short of the traffic light and avoid an accident. When the light turned green he proceeded slowly, trying to pump the brakes at regular intervals to see if any braking power would return. He drove slowly one mile to my office to inform me of what had happened. We recorded notes about the incident. He then restarted the vehicle and proceeded slowly down the private drive to our home. The problem with the brake pedal continued.when i received this subsequent report, i left work and came home to work with the vehicle personally. Air pressure in all four tires was at the recommended level or within a 5% variance to the low side.i found the pedal was still very soft, even after pumping the brakes repeatedly. I took the vehicle onto our private drive and an adjacent private parking lot to test it further. I got the vehicle up to about 30 mph then activated a hard stop three different times. The brakes held each time.this is the fourth similar braking failure we have had with this vehicle in the last six months, all without warning. We have had the vehicle inspected at the local ford dealer. They say they cannot find anything wrong with the braking system. The brakes seem to work perfectly all the time...except when they don't work at all!
Yesterday we slowly drove over a couple of very rough pavement grooves - the kind you drive over to warn you to slow down for a railroad crossing or stop sign.these were severe grooves and really rattled the car - btw they were at devils tower national monument in wyoming. Don't see any need for them either. The next time i applied the brakes the pedal was very soft and stayed that way; the car is now unsafe to drive.in researching this online i see this is a known issue on ford fusions and mercury milan models. A defect in the cars' antilock braking system (abs) hydraulic control unit is suspected to be the problem. Many drivers have lodged complaints that after an abs-assisted braking maneuver ' on a rough surface or other irregularity in the road, for example ' the brake pedal was observed to "go soft," requiring extraordinary pressure to activate the brakesthe nhtsa reported an investigation on this on 12/27/2016.please ramp up your investigation in this matter and require ford to replace these defective abs modules or any other component resulting in sudden brake loss.
After a hard stop the brake pedal is very spongy and travels almost to the floor. It has created a need for increased stopping distance. I had to take it to the mechanic who said it is an abs system problem. This is the second time the abs has been replaced. The first was at 44,000 miles and the second at 102,000. It is a very costly repair and could have had dangerous results due to its failure.
After my abs brakes engaged on some hard packed snow on my neighborhood street i had to depress my brake pedal very close to the floor to stop. This squishy brake condition gradually improved afterwards and was back to, or near, normal after several controlled test brakings over about 15 minutes. I haven't had any further problems, but then i haven't had any more abs events. I didn't know if you wanted "me too" complaints.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. The contact applied excessive force to the brake pedal. The contact was concerned of a future injury. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the rear passenger side caliper and brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken back to the independent mechanic where the abs modulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: cas13938410. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
I have a pending case with ford .the number is cas-7605243-r8k8v5.brake problem is intermittent.on several occasions the brakes have gone spongy and require a lot of pressure to stop the vehicle.the brake pedal has to be pressed all the way to the floor and even then the car "slips" several feet before it stops.on two separate occasions i've almost hit a pedestrian who has stepped out into the street at a cross walk.i've taken the car to a dealership and they have replaced the master cylinder and booster.second time was told the brakes were "normal" even though the service manager was able to replicate the issue.ford fixed this issue for hybrids and i've asked multiple time for them to look into this for the conventional fusions.see this site for break fix for hybrid:http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/02/ford-issues-prompt-fix-for-fusion-hybrid-brakes/index.htmi've written to ford under this case number with the ford hybrid link and this linkhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/fusion/2008/brakes/service_brakes.shtmldocumenting that this issue is widespread.response from ford customer care manager is as follows:"my role as the regional customer service manager is to work with you and your dealership to ensure they're honoring the warranty on your vehicle. If you have questions about potential repairs on the vehicle, those would have to be addressed with a service advisor at the dealership. If you decide to bring the vehicle back into the dealership, please let me know so i can follow-up with them and see if there's any additional assistance i can provide at that time."i asked for this issue to be escalated and i provided all of this information and documentation the manager's superior.he confirmed he received my email and has done nothing!this issue needs to be investigated/ addressedbefore a serious accident occurs.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was depressed at various speeds, the pedal traveled to the floor and the vehicle hesitated to respond without warning. The failure recurred multiple times intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the brake system was flushed, but the cause of the failure was unable to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000. The vin was unavailable.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. When the contact attempted to apply the brakes while driving 60 mph or more, the brakes malfunctioned. The contact would have to allow for a significant decrease in speed due to the excessive distance needed before the vehicle was able to come to a complete stop. The failure also occurred whenever the road conditions were uneven or unstable. The contact took the vehicle to the briarwood ford dealer where it was determined that the failure was related to nhtsa action number: pe16017 (service brakes, hydraulics); however, there was no recall. The dealer replaced the rear and front brakes, but the failure recurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the hcu failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failureand stated there was no recall on the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Being in motion the 15 of november 2020 i experience an extended brake pedal failure same as stated in the january and october 2020 fordrecalls. Because the high risk of a crash my car was towed the 18 of november for repair to mccoy mills ford in fullerton, ca (phone 714-5265501, invoice 986572) where the service advisor daniel inzunza contacted ford motor co. Who did not approved any repairs because the required spare parts of the recall will not be available until first q of 2021 and spite of that ford motor co. Did not authorized a rental car. Complaint i require an assistance of a rental car because the spare parts that were going to be available in 1st q of 2020 won't be until 1st q of 2021 and i can not drive mine due the high crash risk for the present extended brake pedal failure
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact recent purchased the vehicle from fred martin superstore located at 3195 barber rd, barberton, oh 44203 and was informed that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) but parts were not available. The contact was concerned that a failure may be experienced meanwhile the parts were to become available. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. A failure had not occurred on the vehicle. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
When driving over uneven or wet roads antilock brakes malfunction, causing brake pedal to go soft. This increases the distance it takes to stop. I have had to pull of the road or move to another lane to avoid collision. After stopping and pumping the brake or shifting from park back into drive brake pedal resumes normal tension. Cars sensors show no brake issue. My mechanic ran a brake check through the computer, no abnormalities showed up. I have noticed the antilock brake malfunction on city streets driving straight and while making turns. I have not tested the antilock brake on the highway.
Loss of braking after abs event.i was driving down the road and i had to make a sudden stop to avoid hitting another vehicle.the abs system activated and then the brakes became spongy afterwards.from then on, even the regular brakes were spongy and would not build up pressure after pumping manually.i checked on the internet and there are youtube videos onthe subject and there are websites with this complaint.seems to be widespread.there is also a nhtsadocument (odi resume pe 16-017) on the subject.i talked to a ford dealer, and he said thatto replace the hydraulic control unit (hcu) would cost about $2000.ford has not issued a technical service bulletin (tsb) or a recall for this problem, so they won't pay for the repair.the regular brakes should work even in the event of an abs system failure, but this is not happening; thus i cannot rely on my brakes unless the abs is disabled.maybe i should pull the abs fuse.
During normal vehicle operation, the abs randomly turns on and off while driving, severely limiting my ability to successfully deploy the brakes and bring the vehicle to a stop. This began happening out of the blue 5 days ago. Road conditions don't seem to be a factor. It is occurring in wet and dry conditions and on both paved and rough roads.
In december 2019, a recall was issued for the hcu of the abs system that my 2009 ford fusion is included in. (manufacturer recall number19s54 nhtsa recall number19v904). My local ford dealer stated that parts weren't yet available when we called, and once the pandemic started, i figured it would take even longer for them to be available. At that time, i hadn't had any issues with the hcu or abs. However, since the recall, i've had two incidents that have taken place, both of which were exactly as described in this recall:-in january 2021, i was driving home from work, and as i was coming up to a yield sign and began pressing on the brake, i had to press my foot all the way to the floor for the car to even begin stopping. This happened out of nowhere, and from then on i experienced a low brake pedal-i couldn't stop without the brake pedal being extended all the way to the floor. I took it to my local ford dealer and explained that it's exactly as the recall states. They repeatedly assured me that it wasn't the recall, but the master cylinder, and charged me over $500 to replace. I was surprised, as what i experienced was exactly in line with the recall. -the car drove ok for awhile after this repair, but in may 2021 (just a few weeks ago), i experienced the exact same situation again, and am currently awaiting another appointment, as i once again have low brake pedal and can't stop without extending it all the way to the floor. I can't drive my vehicle in this condition-it is completely unsafe for both myself and other motorists, as my ability to brake is again compromised. I hope that the ford dealer was honest the first time around, as my issue is exactly what was described with the hcu of the abs system per the recall notice, and not the master cylinder. (which would be impossible now, anyway, as they replaced it previously.) if the issue is now diagnosed as the hcu recall, how do i go about getting refunded for the unnecessary master cylinder repair?
Nhtsa recall number:19v904."parts are anticipated to beavailable late first quarter 2020".ford has not recieved the parts and or notified me.i just chatted with them on line about this.here is a copy of the chat response from ford representative:"carissha at 13:07, dec 15:based on our resources, it appears parts are also expected to be available during the 1st quarter of 2021 for recall 19s54 dot 3 brake fluid and anti-lock brake system function. ". This is almot 1 year late to get the parts.no updates to nhsta website that explains the difference.as a general side note.it would be good to have with the recall notice any information the consumer can do to their vehicle to minimize the impact of he recall on the vehicle if possible.examples 1) weekly check of brake fluid, 2)function of device being recalled ie trunk or hood latch...thanks for all you do.
I purchased this used car on sept. 28, 2016. Five weeks later, on nov. 4, i was nearing a red light on a city street and began to brake. Unexpectedly, the abs engaged and i found myself without any braking power. I had to push the brake pedal to the floor until the car eventually stopped approximately 12-15 feet later. If another car or a person had been in front of me, i would have hit them. I immediately contacted the ford dealership where i bought the car (autonation ford of white beat lake, minnesota), told them what happened and then drove my car slowly to the dealership where they kept it for four days. They replaced the master cylinder and i was led to believe that that was the end of the problem. The dealership claimed that they didn't know what else might have caused such a braking problem. Five weeks later, on dec. 10, 2016, the same thing happened on another city street as i approached a red light except this time the abs engaged because the road was semi-slippery after a snowfall and i had to brake a bit harder. Again, the brakes didn't work properly and i had to press them to the floor. My car ended up sliding through the intersection (against a red light) before coming to a stop. Luckily, there wasn't any other traffic or obstacles in the intersection or i would have hit them as well. I did some research on the internet and discovered that there have been numerous similar complaints with ford fusion abs systems, including a number of complaints made to nhtsa. (there's also a video about the problem at youtube.) i discovered that the problem is often misdiagnosed and that the cause if a faulty/defective abs hydraulic control unit needing to be replaced in a significant number of fusions built within the last several years. These ford fusions with faulty abs need to be recalled before there are injuries and fatalities, if there haven't been already.
The contact owned a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle crashed into a brick wall. The contact stated that the brakes failed without warning. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed and destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. The failure mileage was 125,000.
I am also experiencing soft/nearly failing brakes that no shop can find the cause of on my meticulously maintained 2009 ford fusion. I refer to your current investigation nhtsa action number: ea18002first happened in another town when driving from a stop slowly around a corner through a puddle...abs engaged, brakes went soft. Took to a nearby shop who looked, tinkered with it, could find nothing, but the brakes firmed up again. Again new years day 2017, rolled over a patch of ice, same thing, abs engaged, brakes went soft, pumping did not help. Took to my local shop, they put it on a rack, couldn't find anything wrong, tinkered with the emergency brake, apparently did the trick.it did it again two days ago when i stopped hard due to a car in front of me stopping quickly without notice. Been soft ever since. I have no records because no one charged me for checking it out. My local ford dealer where i bought this has done all brake work and fluid exchange as needed and recommended. It justunderwent a safety check a week ago while having an oil change and all was well.this is very dangerous.ford has got to address this and putt the trigger on replacing the hcus like is the suspected culprit. Someone's going to get killed.
After my car sat for a week, the breaks were wet from the snow melting. Once i first started driving my car, i thought to myself that the breaks felt really loose. It looks longer to break than usual. I was going to stop at a stop light, and rear ended the vehicle in front of me, since it was taking longer to break than usual. My vehicle is usually able to break quickly.
After the abs is activated the brake pedal goes to the floor.has happened multiple times and the only way i can get brake pressure is to get the abs to activate by slamming on the brakes.i have had to activate the abs up to 6 times to get pressure back.very scary the first time it happens.
Basically, the brakes abs seems to kick in and sticks. Once it does the brakes go to to the floor and never come back to normal. I took it to the mechanic seemed to be a temporary fix and they happened again 2 weeks later. The brakes go to the floor very soft.
Braking issue when abs engages brake pedal becomes soft and goes all the way to floor difficulty in stopping.
When the abs kicks in during a hard brake on slippery surface afterwards the brake pedal depresses to the floor which makes stopping very difficult. This is not the first time this has happened but unlike the other times my pedal has not come back on week # 2 of brake pedal going to the floor. This is a safety hazard and obviously an ongoing problem with the 09 fusions. When will we get a recall? does someone have to die before this is addressed.
During a braking event on a snowy, slippery surface, my abs was activated. I was slowing down from ~50mph to 0mph in order to make a turn. After my abs activated during the initial application of the brake, my pedal became soft and i can now press it all the way to the floor. Due to this increased brake pedal travel, it takes me a significantly longer distance/time to slow my car down. If i were to apply the brakes normally, i would not be able to stop in time and could end up in an intersection or in an accident. This has happened once before and my brakes were bled to 'address' the issue. The issue now has reoccurred after another abs event. These incidents are similar to what is described in the open nhtsa investigation pe16-017.
Immediately after a braking situation where the abs system was activated, my brake pedal had almost no resistance and it went all the way to the floor to achieve moderate braking.had to shift to park and pump the brakes to get back some resistance.if i had needed to do additional braking in this scenario i would assume i would have crashed due to lack of braking ability. Car has 72000 miles on it currently and this problem has been experienced probably 5 times in the past year.after maybe 20 minutes of additional stop and go driving, the brakes appear to be normal.this happened on a city street and the abs was activated due to braking when tire went over a smooth metal manhole cover.
When pressing brake pedal at any speed the pedal goes all the way to the floor. When i took to dealer for repair they told me that the problem was due to master cylinder. I paid over $800 for repair but the problem persists. Now dealer is telling me it could be the abs. They are asking for an additional $1000 to fix.help me? i am continuing to drive the car.
This is the second time we've had issues with the braking system on our 2009 ford fusion. The first occurrence was in august 2016, the second on november 30, 2016. This last time i took the vehicle to the local ford dealer and had them do a thorough diagnostic check on the braking system. The dealership says there is nothing wrong with our brakes that they can document or replicate. However, the failure of the breaking system, temporarily, nearly caused an accident for my son this week. Back in august it was my wife that had the episode. In august she was driving on a wet blacktop four-lane divided highway and hit the breaks for a car slowing in front of her. Immediately she had almost no breaking function, with the pedal being extremely soft and going almost to the floor. This was not a case of pulsating abs action like normal. She was able to pump the brakes aggressively for a while and gradually get back enough breaking function to drive the car home. On inspection the brake reservoir was full.this week, the same thing happened on a perfectly dry concrete four-lane divided highway during a braking action when preparing to make a turn onto a side road. He nearly hit abrick sign at the college campus entrance. He pumped the brakes repeatedly and gradually had enough breaking function return that he could drive slowly to the parking lot. I took off work and drove down to meet him and tested the vehicle. The master cylinder was full to the normal level. There was no sign of leaking on any of the calipers or on the ground below. The brake pedal was still very soft but after pumping gradually returned to normal so that i could drive the vehicle home very slowly.we've now almost had two accidents when the brakes fail temporarilyand without warning, then gradually return to normal operation. What is going on here? this is really scary and frustrating.
On the afternoon of november 16, 2019, i was travelling through a suburb of philadelphia, pennsylvania. The road is a 4 lane road, two in each direction. It is heavily trafficked. I was travelling in the left hand lane heading westbound. Traffic to the right was coming to a stop, as a car was stopped in the lane with it's four-way flashers on. The left hand lane was slowing to a stop as a car was attempting to make a left hand turn across traffic. I attempted to come to stop. My car began shaking and i had use both feet to hold the break down. At the time, i didn't think anything of it and assumed it was because my car was getting old. My car did not stop, despite my best efforts. At a low rate of speed, i rear-ended the car in front of me which then hit the car in front of them - the one attempting to make a left hand turn across traffic. There was minimal damage on all cars involved. A month to two months later, i received a letter from ford indicating that there was a recall on my anti-lock break system and that i would be notified when the parts became available at my local dealership. As the insurance claim progresses, i was advised by my adjuster that i should report this accident to nhtsa.
I was driving on a city business road of 40 mph max when i was required to slow down for a stoplight ahead.as i slowed i noticed that the brake pedal chugged and proceeded to move forward to the floorboard.luckily the stoplight had changed to green and the vehicles ahead of me advanced.knowing that i had an issue with stopping the vehicle, i shifted the vehicle into neutral in case i needed to pull the parking brake.as i was nearing a residential area within a quarter mile from my home, i slowly advanced my vehicle with emergency flashers on to my home.my husband called the local ford dealer and ford motor company.we will not drive this vehicle as it is unsafe in this condition.we are waiting for the notice to have this part replaced per ford (until november!!)
While traveling at 65 mph in traffic, the car completely shutdown. Dashboard lights appeared and the car lost all power, including power brakes and steering. Fortunately, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle while exiting the roadway. Due to the lack of steering and braking ability, i don't feel a person of smaller stature, i.e. My wife, would have been able to maintain control without being in an accident.
On many occasions over approximatelythe last 20,000 miles (hard to tell how long it has been going on as it has become a normal occurrence) brakes become temporarily non existent after abs is engaged for any reason on both wet and dry surfaces.petal must be pushed to the floor after such incidents occur in order to stop vehicle and then requires extended distance to come to a complete stop.since this problem has begun occurring brakes have become soft and all stopping requires petal to be pushed to floor and have to allow extended distance to stop.have had the same mechanic for over 25 years and he has replaced rotors, pads, calipers, etc as required and says there is no air in brake lines.he has checked all brake components and advised that he recommends replacing the abs hydraulic control unit. After hearing this i began to research the problem online and can't believe the number of complaints out there.i hope ford is going to stand behind its product and fix this problem.it is a serious safety issue.
Car lost braking pressure when driving in snow/icy conditions in second week of january 2018.took it to mechanic who diagnosed faulty abs hcu, but somehow "reset" the system when working to diagnose the problem and consequently chose not to replace the unit.drove without any braking issues until driving again recently in snow/icy conditions, and same problem reoccurred.unpredictable, reduced braking continuing in all surface conditions and speeds several days after problem was reintroduced.pedal can travel nearly to the floor with decreased stopping power, but pumping the brakes can sometimes temporarily reintroduce normal brake pedal "travel."problem apparently kicks in when abs is activated but persists afterward.
I was driving and hit a small pothole - my brakes subsequently became extremely soft to the point where i felt like i had no braking power.
The brake pedal went to the floor while i was applying them under normal conditions.maybe 25 mph on a city street.after having a mechanic inspect my car, he determined the abs hydraulic unit was bad.....$1600 later the problem was fixed.i got lucky, but that failure could've been dangerous.the brakes did engage, but when the pedal was almost to the floor.
Dealer has informed me that they antilock braking system (abs) hydraulic control unit (hcu) has failed. Having the repairs done and will cost $1600.
Brakes go soft after breaking over irregular surface. Paid ford dealership 1400 dollars to repair. Brakes continue to go soft over irregular surfaces.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal hit the floorboard of the vehicle when it was depressed. The contact stated the interlock brake system malfunctioned. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,000. The vin was not available.
Just very concerned. Thebrake hub s get extremely hotand the brake pads were no good i have less than 20'000 miles on my 2009 ford fusion. The car is drove very little and is garage kept.i just don't understand the concept from ford motor to make a vehicle that the brake hubs get hot and wear out the pads. I had ford vehicles for years and never has been a problem. Why do you allow a problem like this to go on.. This is a safety concern too. Myolder ford vehicles never did have brakes that you questioned whether or not you would be able to stop at a traffic light.now i worry that it may not stop. Just a few months ago it almost didn't stop at a traffic light. When i applied the brakes it continued to roll and i rolled thru fourcar lengths before it finally stopped. I was so frightened !! i too noticed ford is recalling someof the newer for fusions for this problem. Suggest that they recall all vehicles that have the brakes like what is on the fusion ....why does someone need to loose their lives to get a problem like this fixed??the automobile industry is failing the consumers and lacking safety standards . Usa automobile industry can do better than this.
While braking and making a right turn, the break pedal suddenly lost pressure preventing the breaks from working properly.i rolled past the corner, this was a near accident. I lifted my foot pumping the breaks, it didn't change the pressure. I had to put my foot at least 80% of the way down to the floor to stop. This lasted about 12 hours. I took it in and was informed it was a common problem in the abs system and that it will come and go. This is very dangerous and may have already caused accidents but because the problem comes and goes it's hard to find it. Please fix this problem ford!
Antilock brakes pulsed and brake pedal traveled to the floor. Limited braking. 2-3 minutes for brakes to return to power. Vehicle was traveling at approx 15 mph in parking lot.
In three separate incidents now, spanning approximately march 2015-january 2016, the brake pedal in this vehicle has gone soft down to the floor with minimal braking power directly after the abs engaged.the first occurred on wet roads at approximately 45mph, the second in normal conditions on the highway stopping for sudden traffic, and the third on snowy roads at approximately 25mph.for two of these times it was necessary to swerve off the road to avoid collision as the car came to a stop very slowly.the brakes would only return to seemingly normal if i was able to pull the car over, put it in park, and pump the brakes.mechanic has not been able to find anything wrong thus far.from doing a bit of research, this appears to not be an uncommon issue, and most suggest that it is an issue with the hydraulic control unit when the abs engages.if this is the case, i do not want to replace it with another potentially faulty unit with the high expense but it is unnerving to drive a car with such safety issues in the braking system.
Problem with brakes, spongie, going to the floor even after i replaced brakes rotors and calipers the whole way around the vehicle. Does not happen all the time only 50,000 miles on the vehicle. Mechanic told us nothing was wrong. But why does it continue to happen. This is unsafe and i have almost been involved in 2 accidents due to brakes failing. How do i get this fixed and how can i have this taken care of. It is worse when it is wet or raining out. All of a sudden brakes go to floor and you are unable to stop even when pumping the brakes.
Once the abs mode is activated from a hard braking the front wheel locks up leaving no braking available until the fusion is almost stopped. Once the vehicle has slowed significantly the locked wheel releases and brake function returns to normal. The dealership that sold the vehicle did replace the master cylinder but it made no difference once hard braking was applied. This situation gets worse during inclement weather allowing the front wheel to lock up much easier and quicker. It worries me that this is their only vehicle and they always have their 3 children with them.
I was driving and about 15 miles an hour it is raining i was coming up to the slow curve 1 hill my abs light turned on my brakes are locked up made me slide into a curb now my abs light is on and i don't feel comfortable driving my car.
Several times over the past year, i have had an issue with losing brake pressure after my abs brakes were activated. The first time it happened was on a country road. I hit the brakes pretty hard to avoid hitting a deer. After the abs activated, the brake pedal went to the floor before brakes would work. I called a friend of mine that is a ford certified technician. He had me pump the brakes several times and the pedal came back up. Another time i was approaching a red light doing about 10 mph when one tire hit a dip in the road and the other tire did not. The abs activated and i had the same problem with the brake pedal. After a few days, the brake pedal freed up and was back to normal. Another time, i was pulling off the side of the road and as the first tie went offroad, the abs activated. Again the brake pedal went to the floor and was soft. Pumping the brakes no longer worked and braking distance was longer. I took the car to a mechanic several times. Had brakes, rotors and pistons replaced but it still continues to happen everytime the abs brakes activate. It happened a few more times during winter driving conditions. The pedal frees up on its own after a few days but i have to drive much slower and start braking earlier. I googled the problem to see if there were other people having the same issue and found it that there have bee. Several complaints. I found some information claiming that a pin in the hydraulic control unit is to blame but im not sure. As stated, i had the car to a mechanic several times and they cant seem to pinpoint a problem.
Hard stop on freeway resulting in abs activating. Afterwards, brakes were spongy and required exceptionally more distance to brake and pedal needed to be depressed to the interior floor in order to stop. This is the third time this has happened with the vehicle.
Abs module and hydrolic system failed,costly repairs expected.do not feel safe driving car.
While traveling on a slightly rough highway, i went around a curve and a bicyclist was in the middle of my lane, i braked suddenly and my brake peddle went to the floor, i had to swerve to keep from hitting him. I pumped my brakes and they came back up, but were mushy and it took several more miles before they worked effectively although still not as they should. The next day the brakes worked fine and for several weeks afterwards, then there was another incident. I was trying to stop at a stop sign, before turning on to a busy major highway and my brakes again went to the floor. The side road i was stopping on was rough (it had been scrapped to prepare for blacktopping).this happened twice within a few weeks.the results could have been deadly. This has happened three times! i had new brake pads, rotors, and calipers put on after the first incident and it did not help.
On two occasions in the last two months i have attempted to stop my vehicle and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The first time i was able to pump the brake pedal and get enough pressure to stop my vehicle. The second time i was not able to get any pressure back by pumping the brake pedal. After turning the car off each time the pedal was back to normal this makes it very difficult to have it diagnosed. I have read a lot of other complaints for the same thing on the ford fusions i think ford should take these very serious before someone wreaks or dies because of this issue. I avoided an accident only by going into another lane which isn't always possible.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact stated while the driver was driving 2 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard which caused the braking distance to be extended. The brake pedal was pumped several times to stop the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to independent mechanic and were unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted and a case was filed. The part was not available for the repair. Parts distribution disconnect.
I am writing about my daughters car.the car was operating normally when she had to apply the brakes hard and the abs engaged. The next time she applied the brakes the pedal went to the floor. The car would not stop, and passed through a red light into the intersection. After that the brakes slowly seemed to come back to normal operation. About 2 months later she was making a turn and hit some rough pavement and a pothole, and felt the abs engage. On the next stop the pedal again went to the floor and she had trouble stopping the car. The brakes are now working, but not nearly as well as they used to. My local mechanic says he has seen this problem before on other ford fusions and that the abs hydraulic control unit is defective and needs to be replaced. He stated that the part and the job is very expensive. At this point i do not feel safe allowing my daughter drive.
Brake pedal mushy goes to floor had to have abs replaced to correct car would not stop in a short distance only 90000 miles mechanic says it a problem with a lot of fusions 2007-2009 years
Very soft brakes. - the car kept experiencing soft brakes after the abs would engage or if the car hit a pot hole of solid bump in the road. Not all the times but fairly often. We replaced the master cylinder in 2016 and the brake pads recently as well. In dec of 2017, i was going about 25mph while approaching the exit of our neighborhood. There was a small patch of ice & water. I was braking for a stop when the car crossed the patch. The abs engaged. From that moment on for about 2 weeks the brakes would go to the floor before they would slow the car to a stop. Then it cleared up. On sunday april 22 around 1am, we were driving througha town on our way back from picking up our son. It had been raining steady for several hours. My husband was driving less than 35mph approaching a traffic light that had just turned yellow. He tried to stop for the light. The abs engaged but the car did not stop. The light turned red before we got to the intersection but the car was not stopping. We ran the red light. The car did finely slow down to an almost stop but we were already through the intersection. Luckily there were no other cars around at the time but from that moment on the brakes have been soft. After finishing our trip home about 300 plus miles and going to the store where we live about 5 miles, we are afraid of driving the car anymore. It takes too long to stop and if someone stopped quickly while in front of us or if something ran out in front of us while driving, we don't believe we could stop quickly enough; safely.
Whenever i brake over a slippery or bumpy surface my brakes don't work properly. My car skids for a bit and the brakes feel spongy.the slow reacting brakes continue to act that way from a few minutes to a few days after the initial brake. This has happened several (any driving circumstance, although icy seems to be a contributing factor, and any road) times and it literally feels as though i have no control over my car. (i will choose an arbitrary date since this has happened on multiple occasions).
Late spring 2016 i was driving on a 35mph paved residential street.i hit a squirrel going 20mph with my foot on the brake.the next time i put my foot on the brake pedal it went to the floor resulting in an extended slowing and stopping distance.i had the car towed to tires plus in lima, ohio.i was told there was no issue and my brake pedal had begun working properly again.early fall 2016 i was driving on a state highway and turned right onto a intersecting road.as i turned (while my foot was on the brake pedal) i hit a pot hole and the brake pedal again went to the floor and i experienced extended braking.after several attempts of stopping hard the brake pedal returned to working properly.december 4, 2016, i was driving on a paved rural road and approaching a stop sign.i was braking and almost completely stopped when the front passenger tire slid on a small patch of ice.the abs system was engaged and the brakes againwent to the floor and experienced extended braking.i was unable to return the brake pedal to it's normal position and functioning.this resulted in driving my car without 90% of the braking power.after researching i discovered the hydraulic control unit on the car was bad and needed replaced.i called the dealer where i had bought the car and was told they could not obtain the needed hcu to repair the brakes and another customer was in the same position i was.i was able to locate and purchase, on ebay, an original hcu for my car.i was able to have the dealer replace the hcu, thus repairing the problem.total cost of parts, labor, repairs is $850.dealer who completed repair raabe ford delphos, oh.i am still skeptical and do not feel 100% safe with the braking system.it is obvious the hcu is malfunctioning however there is no way of knowing when the hcu will malfunction.i have included the part and repair bills.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that when she had to abruptly apply pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle did not stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated before or after the failure. Ford lincoln of columbia (115 s james campbell blvd in columbia, tn) diagnosed the failure, but the results were not available. The vehicle was not repaired in the past; reported problem but ford couldn't duplicate issue. But the failure recurred. Seems to be a failure with the abs sensor. Slowing down, hit bumper press suddenly harder on brakes abs pedal goes down to floor, car speeds up! currently contact is not driving the car. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
In october 2016 brakes failed while making a left turn while abs module engaged.pedal went to the floor and vehicle would not stop.had to quickly pump brakes to get the vehicle to stop. After the event determine abs pump was the root cause and replaced it.
Had the first snow of the year in michigan. Normal day on my way into work, i came up to a stop light and applied the brakes as usual. When in did this my abs kicked in and the brake pedal went to the floor. At this point i had no brakes and luckly there were no other cars in the intersection because i blew right through it. I then pumped the brakes franticaly, they slowly started to come back but were still very soft. They eventually returned to normal but this still reoccurs every time my abs turns on. Did some research and come to find out it is a common issue with the abs hcu. Ford really needs to issue a recall on this. Somebody is going to get killed, very serious safety issue.
There is a malfunction with the hydrolic control unit anti brake system. The brakes only work if you press the pedal completely to the floor. The brakes do not work when pressed regularly, they must be pressed down to the floor. This causes the car to not stop when you need it to, resulting in instances where one might get injured if not fixed.
Brakes have failed twice randomly.coming to a stop at stop sign and stopping at yellow light (this one was scary). Abs seems to pulsate back and then pedal goes straight to floor.first time i was able to pump brakes back up and drive to dealer.they said nothing was wrong.second time i was unable to pump back up.after sitting for an hour or so the brakes were working again.i took to dealer for second time and again, nothing wrong.clearly there is something wrong and huge safety issue.i don't want the third time it happens to actually be a crash!very unsafe and do not understand how they say nothing is wrong.
While driving the vehicle the service brake pedal will randomly go to the floor. During these events there is no slowing of the vehicle just as though you haven't applied the service brakes. If you pump the brakes you can then start to slow the vehicle.
Like so many others, i experience a low/soft brake pedal.brakes have been replaced, lines bled, leaks checked for.the problem is clearly the malfunctioning abs hydraulic module, described in this youtube video. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r46_unyyk8 this is a safety issue for which car owners should not be held liable.a recall should be ordered.
On three separate occasions over the past 4-5 years, my brakes have gone "soft".the first time was the second i started the car and began to leave my parking spot, the second time was after i hit a pot hole on regular streets, and the 3rd time was after i had to brake suddenly on the highway.all three times it felt like i had to push my brake entirely to the floor to stop.the last time resulted in such extended braking times, that i had to swerve to avoid hitting the person in front of me.the first time did not last very long, but the other two times required time and a lot of pumping the brakes to make the brake feel normal again.i have not had to take it in to the mechanic and i do not have insurance or police reports for the incidents.i believe this problem matches the current open investigation (nhtsa action number pe16017)
When braking over bumps the brake pedal goes to the floor with no response. Abs module sticking.
2009 ford fusion. Consumer writes in regards to brake issues experienced. *ldthe consumer stated at various times the brakes have failedwithout warning. The brake pedal drops to the floor without warning.
Break pedal becomes spongy after hitting a pothole. Currently at the dealership they are trying to replace the master break cylinder, but that didn'twork. The next move is to replace the mcu. I have read multiple similar reports here to mine. I'm very concerned this is a factory defect that is revealing itself to be dangerous and costly to ford consumers.
Brake pedal stops working.goes to the floor.cannot stop!after pumping brakes, return to normal.this has happened on 3 different occasions!
"hydraulic control unit (hcu)" i was driving home one morning following a truck on a two lane road at 60mph when a piece of furniture fell off the truck. I braked and swerved to the edge of the road to miss the chair and my abs came on. I immediately felt ilike i couldn't stop and the abs was not helping. I finally stopped and was able to avoid a collision. Later at the next stop light my brakes were very soft and barely worked. (pedal to the floor) i believe the hcu malfunctioned.
My brakes go out almost completely when there is the slightest bump that i might hit on the road. Firestone has replaced the brakes, brake fluid, and master cylinder and the brake pedal still goes to the floor. The research i did shows that the problem is the abs module. I've found hundreds of people in online forums with this problem. Why is there not a ford recall with this problem?
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving over a bump at 40 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the vehicle delayed in responding. The vehicle was taken to rodeo ford 13680 w test dr, goodyear, az 85338 where the contact could not remember the diagnosis or repairs. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to rodeo ford where it was diagnosed that ecu and hydraulic control unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, advised the contact to continue to work with the dealer, and transferred the contact directly to nhtsa to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Brake pedal went soft after abs was engaged.now they go soft and almost doesn't stop and takes twice the distance to stop especially after the abs engages because of braking on wet surface or bumpy/rough surface.this is scary and i would like to get this fixed but if there is a recall i would like to wait until the recall is initiated.started happening a few years ago but i've just managed with it since.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate to stop upon the depression of the brake pedal without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the brakes were bled; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, she attempted to stop the vehicle but the brakes failed to operate. The contact rear-ended another vehicle and the airbags failed to deploy. There were no injuries as a result of the crash and no medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle away from the scene; however, there was severe front-end damage to the vehicle. Two years later, the contact received two notifications for nhtsa campaign number:19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and nhtsa campaign number: 21v158000(airbags); however, the parts for the repairs were unavailable. Several dealers were notified about the recalls; however, the contact was informed by each one that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer had been notified of the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My husband was driving at about 35 mph down a two lane road in the right lane and he went to stop at a stop light and when he hit the brake petal, it vibrates 4 times and then the petal went to the floor and the brakes stopped working and he could not slow down or stop the vehicle. Since there was a pedestrian to his right on the sidewalk and the vehicle in front of him was smaller than his car, he chose to drive in the middle through the two lanes of vehicles. He ended up hitting 3 other vehicles before our car stopped. After he got home, we checked to see if there were any recalls on the car since we were confused why the brakes failed out of nowhere seeing as we had recently put brand new $80 brakes on our car and found out that there had been a recall on the abs system last january, but there is not a replacement part yet available until november. I truly believe that this accident was caused due to faulty parts that ford made this vehicle with and now my car is totaled and i did not have collision so because of the faulty abs system, i now have no car and damaged 3 other people's cars. Thank god this accident was not fatal and no one was injured too badly due to the unsafe abs system in the 2009 ford fusion.*dt
I owned this car for about 18 months. During this time i noticed when using the brakes if the abs system engaged the pedal would become soft and you had to push it hard and to the floor to get the car stopped. I had several close calls and one wreck that did minimal damage. My son also drive the car from time to time and complained of he same problem. On the morning ofdecember 10,2016 he was on his way to take his act test and it's was in the low 20s. He topped a blind hill and there was a wreck just over the hill. He had to brake hard but the braking system failed and he ran into the wrecked vehicles. He hit so hard the airbag deployed and radiator busted. The car was a total loss. He is ok thank god but now i am left paying the car i lost off plus having to pay for another car because the braking system failed. Ford has put me in a bad financial situation and needs to recall these vehicles before someone loses their life! i loved my fusion until i found out that ford is to blame for these problems. I will never own another one. Nice car until someone gets hurt or even worse, killed because they have not been recalled.

When i have gone on roads that are uneven or bumpy my brakes would not work and go all the way to the floor. They would be fine after a while. I went over some railroad tracks and it happened again where my brakes go all the way to the floor. Its has been that way for about 3 months now. I have had the brakes looked at and new pads put on. Its still not fixed and i still really have no brakes and takes a lot to stop. Even pumping the brakes doesn't work.

While in motion the brakes go to the floor after hitting and uneven road surfaces (pothole, r/r tracks) while braking causing the vehicle to not stop till after the desired stoping location or after passing through stop/red lights, or not being able to safety make a desired turn. After said event it takes days sometimes weeks for the brake system to return to 'normal' feel.the brakes continue to feel spongy and the pedal has to be pushed further down in order to stop
The anti-lock brake system goes soft and the brakes go to the floor in snowy or rainy conditions. I have experienced this on two snowy days in massachusetts on december 17th and 18th, 2016. The car would not stop when i braked in motion for a 2 way stop sign. The brakes made large noises and felt very soft and the car would not completely stop. Fortunately i was only going 15 miles ph and no other cars were approaching. However, if a car was proceeding i would have crashed into the car.i understand that the 2009 ford fusion is under investigation that the brakes may fail in certain weather conditions. This is true as i have experienced it. What do we do while waiting for this investigation? it is a safety problem with the car. Is ford responsible in between this investigation to fix the problem? can i bring my car to the ford center to have this issue fixed on their dime?

Brake travel intermediately drops to the floor as described in fords brake recall that was announced in 2019. Vehicle has been checked by the dealership with no problem found. Ford stated they would have a fix first quarter of 2020, it is now march 2021 and they have no fix yet. The car is not safe to be driven and has been parked. I need a resolution to this.
Driving the other day i lost brakes and almost had an accident with another vehicle. The brake light came on along with the service light. Which is still on. Drive home variously in low gear when needed. When in low gear i heard a constant grinding noise. Still patiently waiting on my takata air bag replacement thru ford. This vehicle is new to me and i haven't made my first payment yet.only has 40k for mileage.as is common with most ford cats. I asks experienced surges in the vast. My lay cast was an 04 taurus.
"takata recall" i received the notice to have my airbags replaced & bolton ford has not responded.my driver door will not open from the inside of the vehicle & my brakes need me to go all the way to the floor before the brakes stop the car.car was stationery when driver door would not open & driving coming to a stop when brakes need pushing to the floor to work properly.

Recall on 2009 ford fusion in december on hydrolic brake issues.....there is still no remedy for this which is unacceptable by ford.i need this fixed!!!
While driving on the expressway the rear brakes seized.when i parked the car the rear brakes were omitting a foul odor and the rear wheel rims were scalding hot to the touch.i took the vehicle in to the dealership who said the springs in the caliper stuck requiring new brake pads, the discs to be machined and a lubrication of all internal components.the dealership stated it is a maintenance issue despite being solely maintained by the dealership and there is no notice in the owners manual or service as to lubricating the internal brake components.
Takata recall. The brakes seem to not be fixable. I have replace brake pads, master cynlinder, flushed out break fluid, bled brake. Brake are still not working properly. If i hit a bump at a pretty good speed, the brakes get worse and then i have to push the pedal all the way to the floor and still doesn't really slow down. I have spent a lot of money on getting these brakes repaired and still not working properly. I hit on brakes to pull over and i hit a bump on the side of the road and brakes stopped working properly again. I don't know what else to do. I have had ford dealership inspect brakes and they said i need to replace master cylinder. I replaced it and no change.
My daughter rear ended another vehicle and pushed that vehicle into another vehicle because her brake pedal went all the way to the floor and failed to stop her vehicle.she repeatedly mashed the brake pedal with no response. The air bags should have deployed and did not.she was driving at about 45-50 mph on the highway and traffic stopped in front of her. She was driving carefully because it was in the city and had been raining. She was not following too closely or going too fast for conditions. Her brakes failed.even though ford says this vehicle is still safe to drive until the parts come in for the recall, it is not. This is a dangerous vehicle to drive until ford can do the issued recall for the hydraulic brake valve. They still don't have the parts as of the day i'm typing this complaint. Recall number 19v-904. I have made state farm aware and they are performing investigations. I have hired an attorney because my daughter is not at fault. I have reported the incident to ford and they were not helpful. She was cited in the accident and there are claims for injuries and damages.*dt*dt*dt*dt*dt
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 50 mph, traffic came to an abrupt stop. The brake pedal was depressed, but failed to adequately slow down the vehicle. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. Additionally, the brake pedal became spongy. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that either the abs module or the abs controller failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Blaise alexander ford located at 2265 old turnpike rd, lewisburg, pa 17837, (570) 524-7267, was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted.

My 2009 ford fusion has the antilock brake problem in which the brake pedal drops significantly after an anti-lock stop event.i received the 19v-904 recall notice, however ford is not supplying the parts to the dealer.for this reason, i can not get this problem resolved.my fusion exhibits a severe low brake pedal problem after an anti-lock stop in the winter, and is dangerous when trying to come to a stop after an anti-lock stop event.i'm afraid i will end up in an accident, and other family members won't even drive the car anymore due to this safety issue.i have not been involved in an accident as of this writing.i would like to see the nhtsa put some pressure on ford motor company to get the parts to their dealers so we can have our vehicle repaired.we've waited a couple years for ford to come up with a solution to this problem.the recall notice from january 2020 states that "parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020."it is now early third quarter, and still no parts.ford either needs to be held accountable for timely repairs, or should be forced to offer a full nada retail buyback of these cars.
Low brake engagement following anti-lock brake system event. Vehicle was in motion. After this event, i would need to push the brake pedal down more than it should need to be pushed in order to get the brakes to engage. Tom holzer ford in farmington hills, mi replaced a hydraulic control valve unit as well as a front right lower side caliper pin that was frozen.
Going down a rough bumping road, hit brakes and brakes went to the floor.now the brake pedal is real soft and spongy.brake pedal goes about half way before even applying brakes to the wheels to slow car down.
Brakes go nearly to the floor when pressing brake pedal before engaging and stopping vehicle.spongy.replaced master cylinder with new, no help.replaced abs hydraulic unit with used unit, and no help, but suspect the replacement unit is faulty also.vehicle does not stop well.

The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving at any speed and when the brake pedal was applied, the brakes went soft and failed to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred multiple times without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the brake fluid was replaced. The issue recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Tamara recall for the 3rd time in 2 years. I've had problems with spongy brakes. I braked over a pothole and my brakes locked up and hit the floor! i now have to pump the brakes to get them to work. I got my brakes flushed and they went back to normal. About a month later the same thing happened when i had to brake hard due to abrupt stop on the interstate. It took about a week to get them back to normal. This is not safe and should not happen with new brakes and rotors.
After my abs engaged at 10-15 mph on a patch of ice, i was barely able to stop at all. Since then, the brakes have become very spongey and it takes the car longer to stop than it should.
My brakes depress all the way to the floor before stopping and scared they are going to stop working.was told it was the abs hydraulic brake control unit.since then i have investigated it on the internet and see that this is a big problem. Complained to ford & they said there was no recall or assistance at this time. If this is a big problem then it needs to be fixed immediately.
Hit the brakes coming down a hill on wet surface, had a abs event and the brake pedal went to floor. Had to pump brakes to stop . Now constant soft pedal. No brake light or abs light came on or have since come on. Had master brake cylinder replacedwas not the problem. Researched online and found information saying the abs systemwas malfunctioning and many other people have the same problem.
While turning my brake pressure dropped. When this happened i pushed the pedal down and had almost no brake pressure. This happened on two occasions in different months. No lights (abs) came on. It became very challenging to stop, and i was concerned i was unable to stop. I almost hit the car in front of me the second time. My car is currently at the ford dealership because i can not get the brake pressure back by pumping the pedal. The car is unsafe to drive. After researching on nhtsa i was surprised to find there was no safety bulletin or recall as there are about 26 other similar complaints.ford should take this very seriously as it is a massive safety issue.
3 issues: i saw someone else post this- my break pedal is also soft and goes all the way down to the floor after antilock breaks are engaged (like on icy or wet roads).there is no other time this occurs- as it's the breaks, i've been very mindful of it.i have also had the breaks replaces so i don't think it's actually the breaks but rather somewhere within the breaking mechanics. Second, only when turning left, i get a "clunk" sound at about 1/4 of the way thru the turn.i thought the sound was coming from rear left axle area- but i honestly cannot isolate its origin. The third is my most hated: the rear of the drivers seat is breaking down- almost as though there's a framework of soldered metal inside in the core of the seat and the soldering is snapping apart.one of these days i'm going to fall back when the rear backrest completely breaks.i absolutely hate this- i have never had to buy a replacement seat before and i've owned ford/mercury products for 35 years.
On an icy friday night my car's brakes locked up in the"soft state" for several days after the initial trying to brake on the icy street.i took it to a mechanic and he couldn't find anything.i think they must have hit the brakes so hard that it put them back into place.i found this article a week later in our newspaper.the associated pressthe u.s. Government is investigating some ford fusion and mercury milan cars because the brake pedal may lose pressure, making it hard for drivers to stop the vehicle.three crashes were blamed on the braking issue, the national highway traffic safety administration said tuesday. The brake pedal can go "soft" when driving on slippery or uneven surfaces. Nhtsa received 141 complaints, with some reporting that their car stopped past red lights, leaving them in the middle of flowing traffic.the investigation covers ford fusion and mercury milan cars with model years 2007 to 2009. Nhtsa estimated that there are about 475,000 of those vehicles.the maker of both car models, dearborn, michigan-based ford motor co., said it will cooperate with the investigation.read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/latest-news/article123086244.html#storylink=cpy.
On multiple occasions i have had difficulty with stopping the vehicle regardless of the weather conditions. I have had my brakes checked repeatedly and been informed that my pads, rotors, master cylinder are all in great condition.i have had the brakes bled, brake fluid change and it has not rectified the issue.on more than one occasion i have either ended up on the side of the highway or almost hit another vehicle trying to stop.there is no forewarning as to when this happens.the brake pad is extremely spongy and at times when being pushed goes nearly to the floor.this has happened on the street, on the highway, the worse and most scariest incident was driving highway 77-south through wv, going through the mountains.i have counted 13 incidents of this over the past year.there have been more incidents over the span of 3 years but on each previous occasion i was told that air gets in the brake line and to pump the brakes. This clearly has not elevated the issue.the most recent evaluation by a mechanic assured me that my brakes themselves were in good condition.
After the antilock brakes are enabled the brake pedal goes almost all the way to the floor before the brakes are activated.this problem has caused the vehicle to go past several important stopping points including street lights.
Continually noticed that increased pressure was needed to operate vehicle brakes. After incident where abs system was required at highway speeds to avoid collision, the braking seemed to deteriorate. After several visits to local mechanic, and research by local mechanic, it was found that air was found in the abs hydraulic motor, degrading performance of the abs braking system. Mechanic was able to bleed the air from the lines, but advised that this would eventually occur again, and may require a new abs hydraulic motor. (mechanic advised that a new motor would have the same issue.)
After the abs engages brake pressure is lost and the pedal goes to floor. It takes a lot of effort and additional time for the car to come to a stop. From looking at other forums and threads it appears the hydraulic control unit is at fault. This has happened at least 5 times. This occurs while the car is in motion and the abs engages.
While traveling on the expressway at speed, on two different occasions, the brake pedal on my '09 ford fusion first began to grab then traveled all the way to the floor resulting in no brakes. The first time was just after hitting a pot hole and the second was on wet payment. The first resulted in sliding into an intersection after exiting the freeway and being able to stop. The second required me to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me. The car was then inspected at a ford dealership which said the brake fluid was a bit low but no other problems were found. The pads are good, no leaks have been detected and yet the low fluid can't be explained, even though it was inspected two months earlier. Both failures occurred during hard braking and one other issue such as a pot hole or wet pavement. No alert indicators lights on the dash have ever come on. The dealer reported no error codes being available from the computer. The issue has not occurred in the last 3 weeks since the last dealer "repair".
Daughter says brakes have been periodically soft and one time unresponsive.
This has happened twice now with a month between incidences. I stopped on a downward slope on a city/town street, and then the brakes let go a little and we're soft the rest of my drive. The second time i heard and felt a vibration as the brakes stopped holding and i had to press harder. Both times the brakes have eventually returned to normal, two hours later the first time and 24 hours later the second. My mechanic believes this sounds like the antilock brake system. This is concerning because though it is fine now, i don't know where or when the brakes will stop being effective. I do a lot of driving and i live in a hilly part of the country that gets snow in the winters. I need to be able to trust my car brakes will not give out on me all of a sudden.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that the abs failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was taken to baxter ford south (9203 s 145th st, omaha, ne 63138) where it was diagnosed that the abs module needed to be replaced. The contact stated that this was the second time the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was currently at the dealer being repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
Got a ticket on june23rd the breaks were low and i couldn't come to complete stop checked the break fluid level and it was full. June 28th breaks completely went out without no warning signs nothing while i was driving had to stop with the emergency brake.i had car towed to sterling ford june 29.i'm not the original owner so i had no idea about the recall and i purchased the car june 2nd in gardena california where i'm from now stranded in houston texas.
2009 ford fusion. Have been driving this vehicle for over 2 years. Periodically, i would need to hit the brakes harder than normal to avoid someone pulling out in front of me or something of that nature. When i would hit the brakes hard, i would lose about 80%-90% of my braking ability for sometimes days. It would not be safe to drive and i would have to make sure i left 100+ yards in front of the car in front of me after it happened. I finally see the 19s54 recall come out, and i wait, and wait for parts to become available. Finally, months later, i had the brakes go completely out on me yesterday 09sep2020 and i then decided to call ford about it, their customer service acknowledged the recall and stated there was no repair at this time but that it was not a condition that would make the vehicle unsafe. I disagree. They refuse to provide a rental car and they just expect me to pay the $1,600 right now to have it fixed and maybe get reimbursed later. I refuse to pay for it upfront knowing there is already a valid recall in place.i believe this is gross negligence on fords part, not the dealership. There needs to be accommodations made. After paying for the dealer to "diag" the problem, they confirmed that it was the abs hyd unit, called ford back, they still didn't care and actually hung up on me for stating that i thought this was unsafe enough to not want to drive. I will be taking this to the next level only because i know i am not the only one having this same issue.
My brakes have had the issue regarding this recall for quite some time now: dec 18,2019manufacturer recall number19s54nhtsa recall number19v904recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet availablesummaryon your vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock braking system may be stuck open.this still hasn't been fixed and it's been over a year. This is unacceptable. This recall is a major safety concern and needs fixed asap to ensure the safety of me and my toddler. The brakes are having to have extended travel, and do not act properly. Please help.
West chester, ohio, between 6:30 am and 7:00 am est on 10/18/2018 while travelling southbound on i-75 coming from the union center boulevard on-ramp heading towards the norwood lateral parkway (562); please reference the attached pdf for google map images of the area. The event that i describe in the following paragraphs has occurred in at least four other incidences involving similar conditions: i was heading from the la fitness on allen road in west chester, oh to hixson architecture engineering interiors in cincinnati, oh. I was approaching a bridge in the road that went over what i believe is an agricultural water runoff. In between the bridge and the contiguous roadway is a small break where you can feel a slight bump because of the partition. As i approached the partition, traffic began to slow due to high volume at that time in the morning. I proceeded to apply pressure to my brake pedal at the same time i was crossing the partition. As soon as i hit the partition, my brake pedal lost the majority of its pressure, requiring me to force the pedal almost all the way to the floor in order to avoid a collision with the vehicle in front of me. Just when i hit the break in the road and my brake pedal lost pressure, i believe i could hear the sounds of my anti-lock braking system engage, like a clicking as if i lost traction and were skidding on ice. There was no ice, rain, sleet, or snow today, and the previous times this same phenomenon has occurred, there were also no conditions caused by inclement weather such as rain, snow, sleet, or ice. This appears to happen if i should encounter some sort of bump or pothole in the road while applying pressure to my brake pedal at the same time, causing my anti-lock braking system to engage, further causing my brakes to exhibit the same aforementioned effects.
Herky jerky acceleration.dealership said it was a sensor.6 months later, same problem.dealership said a small oil leak burned through some wires.stated some sort of issue with a wiring harness.stated wiring harness needed replaced, but was virtually impossible to locate.brakes constantly need repairs/replacements.multiple times per year.
The brakes will randomly get spongy and go to the floor when applied in an emergency situation. Also the brakes will feel spongy and go to the floor when applied and the vehicle is traveling over bumps in the road. Neither my husband or myself have not had an accident in this vehicle but have had to exit the roadway to avoid rear ending other vehicles. Also the vehicle has traveled into intersections prior to stopping when attempting to stop while traveling over bumps. This is extremely dangerous and scary and as a result we can't allow our children to drive this vehicle. We previously had a 2007 ford fusion in which my daughter rear ended another car in traffic when she applied the brakes and that ford fusion was totaled. When the brakes are not having the above problems, it is a great car to drive. These brake issues make me a very uncomfortable driver as we have a lot of bumpy roads in my city. It also makes traveling very difficult as i don't know what type of road surfaces i may encounter. The vehicle has been to the shop about these issues but they never find a problem.
The abs system is faulty, the brakes lock up when on the least amount of ice or snow and now the pedal requires pumping or it will go to the floor. It used to correct itself but now seems to be permanent. While i have been able to stop the car i am concerned about my safety, what if it stops working at all? if can happen from any speed.
Initially, on a wet city street at 45 mph, the brakes failed with the pedal going to the floor. Pumping the brake seemed to restore the brakes. Several weeks later, travelling at 35 mph on a dry city street, my brakes failed as i approached a yellow traffic light. With the brake pedal depressed to the floor, i travelled through the intersection on a red light. I took a back road to get back to my point of origin and was unable to stop for any of the stop signs. The master cylinder and the booster were replaced but did not solve the problem. After weeks of being checked out by a ford dealer, the vehicle was returned to me but the brakes are still soft and feel unsafe. It sometimes feels like the car accelerates after i depressed the brake pedal before the braking kicks in. A longer stopping distance is required.
I have a concern about recall (#19s54) on a 2009 ford fusion ([xxx]) that was purchased from randy marion sav-a-lot in hickory, nc on 12/12/20.on 01/01/21, twenty days after it was purchased, my son was driving home on the interstate and when attempting to slow, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and would not function properly.the vehicle would not slow down.this was an extremely dangerous situation for not only my son, but other drivers as well.fortunately, he was able to stop as he pumped the brakes and used the emergency brake.because it was unsafe to drive, we had the vehicle towed to the nearest ford dealership which is cloninger ford in hickory, nc.we were told that even though there is an active recall, any repairs would have to be paid for by us because a 'remedy was not yet made available by ford', however, they were able to remedy the situation, put new parts on it & repair the brakes.ford has not "released a bulletin".so i had to pay out of pocket for a recall.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The abs hydraulic unit failed while driving after hitting a small bump in the road causing the brake pedal to go to the floor which resulted in poor braking action nearly causing an accident.
After hard braking and abs activation to avoid an accident while highway driving, brake pedal became very soft.after later stopping and restarting engine (and verifying brake fluid level), petal is still soft / inconsistent.need to pump brakes to build enough pressure ot stop.concerned valves on hydraulic control unit is sticking, not allowing full hydraulic pressure to wheel calipers.
Brake pedal goes to the floor pads changed still doing same thing
In the past year and a half, on at least 4 occasions, the brakes became very mushy following anytime the anti lock brakes have activated.the abs was activated when coming to a stop in slippery conditions and on loose gravel.afterwards the brake pedal nearly goes to the floor in order to stop the car.this usually lasts for a day before the brakes return to normal.i have inquired about this issue with a local ford dealer, but they had no experience with this situation and could not provide any remedy.a search of the internet found several people reporting the same problem with their fusion (not all 2009 model year).no one reported a fix for the problem.
The bakes got very soft/non-responsive when the brake pedal is pushed after they had been applied aggressively to avoid an accident.traveling at 45 mph on a city street at an intersection.dealer said it was a known problem and that it would be around $1,500 to get it repaired.where is the responsibility of the manufacture and government regulations (that we pay for dearly) in making the manufacture responsible for cheap built & not to specification's in the replacement of the malfunctioning abs. Still driving as is hoping & crossing the fingers each time it is driven.
After abs engages, the brake pedal goes spongy, brake pedal goes to the floor while breaking. This has happened on quite a few occurrences. I feel like this is a dangerous situation while driving at highway speeds as you may have to break suddenly.
Brakes failed and bottomed out on three occasions over a six month period
While driving my ford fusion the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car kept moving. I was able to pull the emergency brake in time so that i did not collide into the vehicle that was stopped in front of me. I have contacted my ford multiple times to have car repaired due to recall and my recent brake failure issue and they have told me that they do not have a fix for my car.
We received a safety recall notice in january for recall 19v-904.there was no fix offered at that time.i checked with the dealer today, who said there is still no fix or parts available.with a recall notice like this involving a brake pedal potentially going to the floor, this is unacceptable.
Brakes go to the floor at different speeds greatly increasing stopping distance and poses significant safety concerns.brake hcu (hydrolic control unit) /abs system malfunction poses issues with bumps in the road, and braking while turning even at slow speeds.brakes return to normal after being pumped and no other malfunctions with brake system (brake booster/master cylinder/brake pads, calipers, brake fluid) operating normal after ase dealership master mechanics can be identified.occurs in city streets, driveway, parking lots.
There has been an ongoing recall for the hydraulic system that causes brakes to not slow down my vehicle. I notice this more when it rains or is icy outside. Recall remedy was supposed to be ready first quarter of 2020; i have gone through more sets of brakes and brake pads on this vehicle than any other vehicle i have ever owned. Ford has done nothing to help remedy this and no ford dealership can give a clear answer regarding when this will be available. Ongoing issue for nearly 3 years now.
Beginning in 2017, my 2009 ford fusion began experiencing decreased braking following engagement of the anti-lock braking system. On 20dec2019, ford issued recall 19s54/nhtsa recall 19v904. On 04 may 2021, i delivered the vehicle to suntrup ford westport and reviewed the work to be performed with service advisor jl including repairs for recall 19-s54 and other services. I received a call mr. Jl who advised the repairs for recall could not be completed without additional diagnostic work relating to not being able to bleed the front brakes. When asked if there would be charge for the diagnostic work, i was advised that it would be an $80 charge for 30 minutes of technician time but was also told its likely the brake lines collapsed and there might be caliper issue. I verbally authorized the additional diagnostic work on 05may2021. I received a text message from mr. J.l. Stating to complete recall 19-s54 i would have to pay $820 +tax to replace the brake hoses and that there may still be a caliper issue that may need addressed as well prior to performing the recall work. I called mr. Jl back to decline the work and to prepare the car for pick up so i could get a 2nd opinion. On 06 may 2021, i delivered the vehicle to an independent repair shop requesting a 2nd opinion specifically requesting inspection the brake hoses and calipers and test if the brakes would bleed brake fluid. The technician advised there were no issues with bleeding any of the 4 brakes and no signs of calipers sticking. I contacted a different st. Louis area dealership and was advised to contact them again in approximately 1 month as the parts are unavailable. As of 08 may 2021, i am still experiencing the same issues with the anti-lock brake system as first experienced in 2017 and no repairs have been completed to address the issue.
Replaced the abs sensor in 2016 with a refurbished one that is now out of warranty. I was 30 minutes from home with 3 kids and a dog in the car going downhill in a residential neighborhood when the brakes failed again.i had it towed to a ford dealership and they want me to pay $1030 to put in another flawed sensor because they "have not released the parts" for the recall that was supposed to be ready in march. I have filed complaints with ford (case cas27456010) and the bbb (case frd2022027). Meanwhile i am car-less while it sits in the dealers lot. I just submitted another report to you about the same incident in 2016.
Everything described in investigation pe16017 happened to my fusion this year. The first incident occurred when the abs kicked in while driving in motion on a wet road. Immediately after the brakes were mushy - almost to the floor. Pumping the brakes restored hydraulics, and the problem did not reoccur until 12/24/17. That night the abs kicked in multiple times while moving on a snowy / icy road. Brakes went mushy and almost to the floor. Pumping the brakes restored hydraulics but only temporarily. If i let off the brakes for any amount of time, the next press of the brakes results in the same thing occurring. Mechanic says the abs requires a computer reset to resolve and that this may occur every time the abs kicks in. I did not have an accident but it would be easy to rear end someone since you expect pressure much sooner than happens.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 6 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but a failure could not be located. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
Takata recall i have had issues with my brakes ever since i got the brake pads changed about a year ago. I have taken it to several shops that cannot tell what is causing the problem. It is really difficult to get the car to stop. You really have to press all the way down. I find it extremely dangerous. Brakes should work immediately not with a delay. In rain or snow the car has an even more difficult time stopping which has almost resulted in a few accidents. I really believe their needs to be a recall. This is our family's car and i don't even feel safe driving it alone, much less with my children. Please look into this matter. Peoples lives are at stake!
Abs system bypass sticks when engauged which causes brake pedal to go to floor after use. Happens alot in winter on ice.
Soft brake peddle after hitting bump in highway. Peddle to floor and had to pump hard to get the car to stop. Finally stopped in the intersection. Has occurred on 4 occasions over a 2 year period. Braking finally improves after a short period of time.was in a 45 mph speed zone near home on 3 of the occurrences.
During routine braking event from approx. 25 mph, the abs system unexpectedly and unnecessarily engaged. Upon abs activation the brake pedal lost all pressure and sank to the floor and all braking power was lost. Braking power was eventually regained after repeated pumping of the brake pedal but stopping distance extended well beyond normal even with brake pedal pushed to the floor.i believe this to be related to nhtsa # pe16017
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving 40 mph, the abs failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard while attempting to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and no failures were found. It was unknown if a dealer or manufacturer were contacted. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. While driving approximately 30 mph and attempting to make a right turn, the contact depressed the brake pedal as the front driver side wheel struck a pothole. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact was eventually able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to manteca ford (555 n main st, manteca, ca 95336, (209) 239-3561) where it was diagnosed that the abs control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 167,960.
Takata recall: i have received 3 notices for this recall but each time it says part is not available at this time. Not only do i have to worry about my car being unsafe due to this recall i have learned this model is also having problems with brakes freezing up which has happened to me several times in the last 4 years. There is no recall on brake issues but i know there has been hundreds of complaints about this issue as well
I had the abs hcu fail.i was fortunate that i had plenty of room in front of me to stop.i understand there is a recall on this.however a year later ford still doesnt have to part. Is this timely? what is reasonable time? what am i to do, but drive a faulty brake system? fords solution is i pay to fix it and they will reimburse me what they feel is adequate.i am a bit confused. Do they have the parts? i have their refusal letter to fix it and text that they will reimburse me to fix it.
I was driving my ford fusion on the highway, changed lanes so that i was behind a truck with reasonable room. The truck hit their brakes and when i hit mine the brake pedal felt soft. When the truck came to a complete stop there was no where to go as traffic was moving to the my right and i ended up hitting the truck. I completed a full brake job including new brakes on the vehicle within the last 18 months. There was no abs activation or brake lock up under full breaking and i should of had time to stop.
When i drivein the rain or when i hit a pot hole, my abs will kick in and i lose any type of breaking on my car. The break pedal goes all the way down to the floor. It does not matter if im on the highway or the street, as soon as the abs kicks in i lose the break pedal. This is very dangerous for me and my son.
Occasionally when the vehicle hits a bump or pot hole the brakes immediately becomes soft and loses power to stop the vehicle. It repeats itself and one has to slow it down with engine braking. After a day or two it becomes okay again. Till next time and it happens again. There seems to be apparently nothing wrong with the system, everything checks out and we are not able to duplicate the events on demand.when the brake fails it is a major safety risk and can cause collision and may result in fatalities.there are many (at least 300) reported issues very similar to what i am having. Ford has not recalled the vehicles to fix this major safety fault.by pumping the brakes we are able to stop the vehicle but it takes a longer distance to stop.last time it happened was august 20, 2018 and stayed soft for three days and is now working fine.
I am writing in regards to the manufacturer recall: 19s54. How are these parts only available in the 1st quarter of 2021? it's now in the winter months in northwest ohio and i can't even brake my car safely in the snow and/or ice. I need to drive to and from work and make any other trips, but i can't do it safely!! what can you do to fix this issue? can you refund me my bill if i take this into a shop?
I was driving along about 25 mph and had to stop at a turn on a metal plate and the abs pulsed because the plate was slippery. After the abs pulsed the brake pedal went soft and had to be pushed to the floor to stop the car, with no brakes until the pedal got to the floor. It remained this way for several blocks then returned to normal after pumping the brake and turning the car off and on. Bonnell ford dealer ran diagnostics and it pulled no codes so they told me there was nothing wrong. 4 months later i was driving on a snowy rode about 25 mph and swerved while braking toavoid a downed tree. Abs pulsed and again the pedal went to the floor, and the brake remained soft after the abs event.again no brake pedal feel and the brake has to be pushed to the floor to engage at all. It remained this way after pumping and restarting the car. Immediately brought it to the ford dealer with the brake still soft, and told them to replace the hcu. They ran the same diagnostics but did not address or acknowledge the soft brake pedal and diminished braking, advised against replacing the hcu, returned it to me saying there was no problem because it was not pulling codes. Bonnell ford and ford motor company customer service has told me to keep driving it with the faulty brakes and keep taking it back to the dealer. Customer service told me to take it to more ford dealers to get more opinions, even though i told them it was not safe to drive because of the diminished braking.

Step up and do your job........... No injuries yet close calls at traffic lights.

2009 ford fusion front end pull or drift. I have a fusion that will literally run off the road when hands are not correcting the steering. While everyone knows it is unsafe to drive with no hands on the wheel, we all do it from time to time and in most cars this is not a concern since the car will go straight over a considerable distance. This car however will run off the road in a matter of seconds and is a considerable safety hazard. Ford's response to the problem is to instruct their dealers through an internal memo, not to "attempt a repair for this problem." this is unacceptable for a company that is touting their cars to be vastly improved over toyota and honda. At least their cars go straight down the road with little effort having to be given by the driver. I have driven two of these cars (one of which i own) and both do the same thing. This needs to be investigated and a repair found.

While traveling at 65 mph in traffic, the car completely shutdown. Dashboard lights appeared and the car lost all power, including power brakes and steering. Fortunately, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle while exiting the roadway. Due to the lack of steering and braking ability, i don't feel a person of smaller stature, i.e. My wife, would have been able to maintain control without being in an accident.
Takata recalli was in a wreak because the brakes in the floor when i was driving in the rain on the highway. The air bag in the steering wheel came out.
I had a history of recurring problems with my 2009 fusion. The battery died over and over again, causing me to finally replace it. The car constantly threw errors regarding low tire pressure. But the largest problem happened when we were driving down a two-lane highway at roughly 55 mph and the steering wheel suddenly became unresponsive and locked, causing us to hit first the concrete divider on one side of the highway and ricochet across and hit the metal safety rail on the other side. The car was unresponsive to braking. The car hit head-on both times and was completely totaled. I remember frantically trying to open the doors because i was sure was about to explode.this is an incredibly frightening experience for me because there was literally nothing we could have done to prevent it. We weren't speeding. There was no inclement weather. No one was distracted by their phone or the radio. No one fell asleep. A driver behind us who stopped described how the car just suddenly veered out of control. It is difficult to describe the terror you feel when you are behind the wheel of a car that has completely stopped responding to anything you do. It is scary to think how easily we could have crashed through the metal guardrail and fallen to our deaths, yet there isn't even a recall in effect. I am so extremely lucky that no other car was involved in the accident, but this is incredibly dangerous.
My vehicle has had multiple tire pressure sensor issues.all 4 have been replaced once and two have been replaced twice in the course of 9 months. One time the sensor became loose and began clunking around inside the rim. It was only an expensive annoyance until yesterday. While driving at 65 to 70 mph on a 4 lane interstate highway, the tire pressure sensor broke off.at that time it began to spin around within the wheel well/rim.this caused a violent vibration in the steering of the vehicle and made it impossible to keep going straight without slowing to 50mph.this was a back tire and i shutter to think of what would have happened had it been in the front.ford motor company doesn't have a known issue or recall for this problem.i am at the point where i won't transport my children in the vehicle because of this fear of losing all control of steering.i also wonder what would have happened if i was breaking at the exact moment it broke and effected steering.this issue is a safety hazard and i can see great bodily harm or death resulting from similar situations.
My steering is hard to turn so.e time and my seat. Will not pull up in my car and gas i some time small gas
Driving down road in city, 25 mph, approaching intersection to make right turn, began turning and halfway through turn the steering wheel locked in place and i could not complete the turn.luckily no car was in left lane at light or i would have hit it.stopped car just before hitting curb and building.shut off, restarted and was able to get steering to work again.taking to shop for evaluation.

Took it to the dealer who did not have the part. Currently waiting on relpacement part (hopefully an improved version). This complaint filed for general consumer awareness only. Fairly confident the dealer will fix this concern.
Tried to open the driver's side door. Nothing happened. Had to roll down window to open door from outside. Glad my battery was not dead. Took off panel and saw the cheap plastic handle was broken.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v024000 (air bags). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called bill cole ford lincoln at (606) 329-2120 (2119 greenup ave, ashland, ky 41101) and glockner south point ford at (740) 894-3673 (155 co rd 406, south point, oh 45680) where it was confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy.

Deer strike font end traveling about 40 mph,, 9 year old in passenger seat, air bag did not deploy as required , she was too light., damage to front end bumper, hood, and grill.upon repair i noticed that the dash board just below the passenger air bag had been buckled andpulled away from theair bag cover.the body shop told me that there was no way to repair this except replace the entire dash board and then there was no guarantee that it just would not happen again.body tech told me that repair may interfere with the operation of the air bag deploying as well as leaving it alone. This is a known design issue with ford fusions and there are no service bulletins or recalls. Insurance would not cover repair since it was caused by heat on the dash and there was nothing to glue the dash back on. Google'd the issue and there are hundreds of complaints on line all over the country. Anything that has a potential of air bag operation is a critical safety concern.
Takata recalli was in a wreak because the brakes in the floor when i was driving in the rain on the highway. The air bag in the steering wheel came out.
Besides the recall notice 16s26 the door handles arenot stable.. Hard plastic. My driver door handle broke and i had to pay over 200.00 to replace it, could not get out of my car..the passenger doors have tape on them for security. Cheap door handlers.other than that i love the vehicle.
I stopped for gas and could not open the door at all from inside or outside ...is a safety trap im scare if something happens im in trouble.

Door latch refused to connect on the drivers side.
The door handles and door locks on the drivers door as well as the front passenger door are made from some type of plastic and both of them broke from normal usage. The drivers door is not able to be locked from the outside nor is the door able to be opened from the inside using the handle,thus causing a safety issue. The passenger door locks are inoperable as well. I contacted a local ford dealer who told me this issue is common with this particular model and that the handles were made of poor quality. I would like ford to recognize this problem and issue a recall to those affected by this and offer to fix this issue.
Door handle including the lock are dangerous! first, the coating over the plastic lever necessary to exit the vehicle began spliting and became very sharp. My passengers and myself began receiving razor sharp cuts trying to exit. I brought my vehicle to ford dor something else and asked if there was a recall, but there was none. I had to tape over the handles.next, my driver's door hand broke off in my hand and i had to lower my window to open the door from the outside. What would i've done if my window didn't work, when i live in fl and the inside temperature of cars grows into triple digits!i had to replace and install a new handle i purchased online. When i noticed the readily availability of the parts, this seems to be a common replacement.well it's a good thing to know because now my passenger side door handle is now malfuntioning. I hope action will be taken to recall and replace my handles or at least reimburse me for the replacements i've had to purchase.also, i've been waiting on a recall that was just updated. I've been waiting 2yrs and they still don't have the part?! is it because the airbag is too expensive to replace?

My rear passenger side door won't stay closed. The latch seems to be malfunctioning and it opened when i was driving. I wad able to oull over quickly and secure the door with rope but it still opens slightly. I probably use this door the least of all 4, so my biggest concern is that the other 3 doors are soon to follow.
Front drivers side door interior release failed. Door cannot be opened or locked from the inside.

Takata recall.vehicle stationaryon january 18, 2019 the passenger air bag inflator was replaced under the 18s01 recall, ford part number 8e5z 54044a74 ad.on september 10, 2019 brought car into local quirk ford dealership for service because air bag cover was no longer was flush to the dashboard.ford service said problem was due to "worn dashboard" and not covered under recall.see first attached picture.called ford customer service on sept 11, 2019 was told problem was not covered under any recalls or any warranties,case numbercas-24226208-s8r0v4.my concern is that by having an open corner (see second attached picture) foreign objects could accidentally fall into this space without the drivers knowledge (ie. A penny, dime, etc) and if the air bag deployed a serious injury could occur.specifically, foreign objects could become air borne when air bag deployed.a small piece of metal like a penny or dime could cause fatal damage to the passengers in the car if air bag deployed.not sure if this should be covered under the original takata recall or if another recall should be issued.in any case i believe this is a serious safety issue which should be brought to your attention.
Couldnt get out of drivers door. Insidelock and door latch didnt work. Latch made of cheap plastic. Had to climb over console [hard to do, as im over 65 y.o.] and try passenger front door.thank god, i got out.tried drivers door from outside and it did open!! just wont work if you're in the car???car was parked in a lot of my drs. Office. I learned that many, many complaints were reported to ford from the 2007 model up to 2012 as far as i know.ford never corrected this problem!!! it is not cheap to get this fixed.i called sunshine ford in newburgh, ny and they acted like they knew nothing about this malfunction but would ''check out'' my car, and a diagnostic evaluation is $120.00i said that ford should be responsible for this as they knew about the cheap plastic housing the door latch is made of instead of a heavy metal ie steel or iron.no response and ford motor co. Fluffed me off as well and also told me car too old and not covered under an extended warranty i purchased on 08/20/2015!!i told them, ford really changed alot as i worked in the auto industry for 42 yrs. And this never went on with anycar manuf. Companies.i also told them, how could you not address this matter??? this is a pretty bad safety hazard???!!!what if i was in an accident and i had to get out of the driver door only?? and/or the car was on fire?????again.....no response..please help any way you see fit and legal...i so would appreciate and many others having and had the same door problem would too.tyvm
This vehicle was traveling in the right lane when it was run off the interstate at 75-80 mph, it went off the right shoulder, came back into the right lane, went into a spin, went off the roadway at the left shoulder and rolled over 1-2 times in the median before striking the interstate dividing cable which prevented the vehicle from entering the oncoming lanes of travel.the driver and passenger were buckled in, and there were two dogs as passengers.one of the dogs was ejected.no airbags deployed!!!!
Both left and right trunk strut or trunk lid lift support have failed to support trunk lid.trunk lid does not remain open even when opened completely.has caused injury by trunk lid falling and striking my head and neck.no professional medical treatment required at this time.

This may be a huge coincidence but immediately after being sideswiped with only passenger side view mirror damaged, the driver's side door would no longer open from the inside.we thought it was related to the impact on the passenger side but this seems to be a recurring problem with ford fusions.we have to keep the motor running, lower the window and reach out to the exterior driver door handle to open the driver side door.this should be a ford recall item.for awhile the airbag light will intermittently stay on while driving.
I parked my car in the garage and tried opening the driver side door. But the handle and lock would not work. So i have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. Also the driver door will not lock. This is a very serious security issue. I was told that it was not covered under warranty but i didn't do anything to cause this. It is just very cheap parts and poorly designed.

After hitting a bumpy road my brakes went to the floor and stopping power just went away. Checked at shop. All pads replaced. Fluid changed completely twice. Master cyl and hoses not leaking, now i have really weak braking system from the federally mandated system49 cfr 571.135 - standard no. 135 that is installed in my car and cant get it repaired. Do i just throw a car i bought brand new away?mileage 88000 started now at 92000. New tires and talked to ford house but no one will commit to any answers. Have a student trying to drive this car in college and around town. Roads are rough from drought and constantly trying to pump brakes but it makes no difference while driving. If just starting off for the day a lot of times you have good brakes until something happens and they just go away. Hard to watch road,speedpeople and pump brakes all the time. Lets go . Step up and do your job........... No injuries yet close calls at traffic lights.
Have been dealing with a brake issue for a few months. Took it to a mechanic who replaced the brakes pads. After they were replaced, the brakes still felt off. I would have to push the brake pedal down all the way to the floor for it to stop completely. Took it to a second mechanic who then replaced the master cylinder. Still had the same issue. When i returned to the mechanic, he looked over the air and stated there was nothing else wrong with it. Finally i went to dunphy ford where the greeter stayed he already knew what the problem was before i finished explaining the complete issue. He assured me it was the hcu (which of course was almost $1000 to replace) so i had it replaced. After picking up the car it felt fine for the first two days. The. The issue started happening again. When i returned the car to ford, they told me it was the rear rotors. I asked how could they miss that when they replaced the hcu, there was no answer. The rotors were replaced. That night i went to pick up my car. After driving off, my brakes now made a very loud squealing sound and sort of clanking sound every time i hit a small bump on the road coming from the right side of my car. Well i checked every tire and found one of the lug nuts was loose on the front passenger side of my car. Called them and had he car & brakes looked over once again. This time they tightened the lug nuts and 'buffed' the rotors. The brakes still make a pretty loud sound when i brake but no one can seem to figure out the issue. Not even ford. I can send in invoices and receipts if needed

Cosumer owns 2009 ford fusion. On four different occasions vehicle lost significant braking pressure that was believed to be caused by wheels hitting potholes which resulted in sudden dropping of brake pedal to floor, a decrease in rate of deceleration of vehicle, increase in stopping distance, and loss of ability to control car's deceleration by increasing the foot pressure applied to the brake pedal.

November 2017 my brakes went out again in my 2009 ford fusion when attempting to stop while driving east bound on 35.like in the past i push the brakes and it goes to the floor almost causing an accident and i must pump the brakes to regain brake power. I took it to the dealership again and they state they can't do anything because the problem doesn't reoccur as it is an interment issue. I called and complained to ford customer service again ref # case [xxx] and there only suggestion is to take it to another dealership to waste more or my time and money to be told the same thing.

The pedal is spongy and makes sounds like air is being pumped in and out of the braking system. The pedal travels. I have to press it to the floor to get some type of action that eventually stops the car. If you take your chances with driving the car, you have to know well ahead of time when you will have to stop the car in order to avoid crashing into another car or object. This is a very unsafe situation.
We just had both recalls for the brake system on our 2009 ford fusion done. We had the first recall done in june. We then took the car back in on august 7th, we where told it was going to be a one day repair. Later that day the service department manager contacted us stating ā€œthe brakes are worse than what they where when you brought the car in and it is unsafe to drive, the module is working like it should but we have something wrong with the brake fluid possibly the brake reservoir.ā€¯ then on august 9th the service manager stated ā€œafter much research and trying to figure out what is going on with the car that the new part that we have been waiting forever for is bad/faulty from the factory and so we a new part on order.ā€¯ the new recalled part is now coming from the factory bad/faulty. On august 27th we where contacted by the dealership that the car is done and we can come pick our vehicle up. We picked the car up that night and today (august 28th) we where driving home from the store when we lost all brakes in the car and rear ended the vehicle in front of us. We are having a different authorized ford dealer look at the car and brake system on monday the 30th
The driver's side interior door latch was broken could not lock the driver's side door within the last 5 years. I took it to flood ford of narragansett, ri and they fixed it. Now the same problem has happened again. I have an appointment to have it fixed and don't think i should have to pay for the same repair again!
3 issues: i saw someone else post this- my break pedal is also soft and goes all the way down to the floor after antilock breaks are engaged (like on icy or wet roads).there is no other time this occurs- as it's the breaks, i've been very mindful of it.i have also had the breaks replaces so i don't think it's actually the breaks but rather somewhere within the breaking mechanics. Second, only when turning left, i get a "clunk" sound at about 1/4 of the way thru the turn.i thought the sound was coming from rear left axle area- but i honestly cannot isolate its origin. The third is my most hated: the rear of the drivers seat is breaking down- almost as though there's a framework of soldered metal inside in the core of the seat and the soldering is snapping apart.one of these days i'm going to fall back when the rear backrest completely breaks.i absolutely hate this- i have never had to buy a replacement seat before and i've owned ford/mercury products for 35 years.
Interior door handle broke, will not lock or shut, handle just sticks out.
The driver of a 2009 fusion, 4 cylinder se was driving on the freeway and had to accelerate due to merging traffic. The accelerator stuck and the car continued to gain speed even with the foot being hard pressed on the brakes. The driver called his father, while driving`, who recommended he turn the key off on click to avoid locking the steering wheel. The driver was able to get the car to the side of the freeway and was unable to start the vehicle and aaa was called to tow the vehicle. The driver's father looked up this type of uncontrolled acceleration on the internet and read about mats causing the pedal to stick. A mat was recently put back in the car. The driver verified that the mat had caused the pedal to stick, it sprung back, and the car was able to start after removing the mat the driver drove it home without incident. This was a poentially very serious situation due to high speed and continuing to increase in speed. The driver could have turned off the car with the result of the steering wheel getting locked causing a high speed uncontrolled vehicle. The driver had his two sons, age 5 and 3 with him.this scared the hell out of the driver and the father. Floor mat info from underside of mat:6e5j-5413087-aawfd>tpe< 524 fusion is on the top of the mat.*ln

I was leaving a parking lot and made a right-hand turn and the driver's side door flew open.i closed the door and it latched but when i parked the car in my garage i was unable to close the door so the battery went dead.
While merging onto a freeway my car experienced a sudden loss of power while driving. Shortly afterwards my check engine light came on and i took it to the dealer to see what it was. It was a bad catalytic converter i was told that it would take 4 weeks to get one in. Meanwhile it being my only car i asked and was denied a loaner vehicle from ford motor co. And i was told that the vehicle was still safe to drive as long as i did not let it goo too long without the repair. I called back 4 weeks later and was told that it would be an additional 4-8 weeks as there were "no" parts to be found anywhere. This worried me greatly as they even said problems could arise if driven too long without being fixed. So i filed a complaint with ford motor company and was treated like crap by them. They told me they were willing to help but "not" willing to do anything. So i called a local news station who put me in touch with their executive offices where i got the same response. No loaner vehicle and no compenstaion for the extra gas i had to buy as it sucked it down. Whenever someone from ford's calls me i am lucky to get a sentence in before they hung up on me!thankfully to my contacting a local news station they made enough headway with ford that my part "finally" arrived today on 07/28/14 but i am extremely upset that ford would put me in the situation where myself and my family could be in danger by driving an automobile that is not safe. Driving with bad catalytic converters is not safe and could cause all sorts of other issues and the fact that ford's encouraged me to do so is frightening. This for one along with the gm issues has me seriously thinking of buying a foreign automobile for the first time ever. It was wrong what ford motor company did to myself and my family and i hope that this complaint will prevent them from doing this again in the future!

My 2009 ford fusion would not crank, then when it did it idled rough and would not speed up. I had it towed to my ford dealer who informed me that the throttle body had to be replaced. Even though ford has a customer satisfaction program 13b17 and 13b03 that refers to my car, i was informed that my car was not covered. I'm glad that i was not driving the car at the time.

I went online to see if there were any recalls on the vehicle and there was one.updated 03/12/15
Our 2009 ford fusion sometimes does not respond when the gas pedal is pressed...then the car quickly leaps forward and accelerates. I presume it may be a problematic throttle positioning sensor / throttle assembly unit. I've done some reading on this...it appears this is a known problem.?...is there a recall...any recourse we could pursue to get this repair done for "free" per se? thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Sudden acceleration when car was put into reverse.the car engine was turned off.floor mat was not touching the gas pedal.dealer could not find any codes in car computer.car is 2009 ford fusion, v-6, awd. Model sel.
On 8/10/2014, after pulling out of the driveway, we noticed a reduction in acceleration on our 2009 ford fusion.the check engine light came on and upon taking the vehicle to autozone, the codes p2112 and p2104 showed up indicating a defectwith the throttle body.upon researching the internet we found the nhtsa action number pe13003 which indicated that there was a problem with this part on 2009-2013 fusions and that ford would cover the repair when the problem occurred.we took the car to southway ford in san antonio on monday, 8/11/2014.on friday, 8/15/2014, the ford service advisor indicated that the problem truly was the throttle body, but we were told that ford would not pay for this repair.we have brought this to the attention of the service manager at southway ford and to the corporate customer relations department at ford. Obviously, there is a defect in this part, which causes a potential life-threatening safety hazard but ford does not seem to acknowledge it and take responsibility for correcting the problem.
I had a history of recurring problems with my 2009 fusion. The battery died over and over again, causing me to finally replace it. The car constantly threw errors regarding low tire pressure. But the largest problem happened when we were driving down a two-lane highway at roughly 55 mph and the steering wheel suddenly became unresponsive and locked, causing us to hit first the concrete divider on one side of the highway and ricochet across and hit the metal safety rail on the other side. The car was unresponsive to braking. The car hit head-on both times and was completely totaled. I remember frantically trying to open the doors because i was sure was about to explode.this is an incredibly frightening experience for me because there was literally nothing we could have done to prevent it. We weren't speeding. There was no inclement weather. No one was distracted by their phone or the radio. No one fell asleep. A driver behind us who stopped described how the car just suddenly veered out of control. It is difficult to describe the terror you feel when you are behind the wheel of a car that has completely stopped responding to anything you do. It is scary to think how easily we could have crashed through the metal guardrail and fallen to our deaths, yet there isn't even a recall in effect. I am so extremely lucky that no other car was involved in the accident, but this is incredibly dangerous.

Recurring low speed and braking unintended acceleration problems with surges from about 3200 to over 5000 rpms. This happens when braking and when stopped or right after starting up from a stop. May not be a safety problem but this is consistent with the toyota problems.
While driving my fusion which has had no mechanical issues up to this point slammed into 3rd gear followed by a rapid decrease in power and speed.the check engine light and wrench came on and pretty sure was in the" limphome" mode.took it to get the codes read and p 2104 and p0607 were present.
The contact owns a 2009 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the wrench warning indicator. After several minutes, the engine was restarted and resumed normally until the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. A redesigned throttle body was installed in the vehicle at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 14,957.updated 12/23/13*lj
According to my mechanic and the tech's from a local ford dealership the problem stems from a faulty electronic throttle body which is controlled by the onboard computer system (engine control module). The fault prompts the car to go into a "limp home" mode or reduced power mode which in turn causes the car to act as though it's running out of gas. From a driving perspective, it has put me in a few precarious traffic situations.
Replaced vehicle battery on 12/30/2013. Check engine light came on before the car was even removed off of the auto center premises. Service center ran vehicle diagnostics check and reported p2112 error indicating an issue with throttle body. Ford dealer ship said the throttle body needs to be replaced which isn't cheap. Faulty electronic throttles are causing these problems.
I had exited the highway & was stopped at a stoplight in the right hand turn lane. Cars were behind me. When it was my turn to go, the car would not accelerate for me to make the turn. The traction light, wrench light, and engine light came on. I pressed down on the accelerator to try to move the car out of the middle of the 4-lane intersection, but it moved at a snail's pace maybe 4 feet from the turn lane. The car did not have the power to turn or even make it to the side of the road. My car was perpendicular to the cars in the 4 other lanes. I'm thankful i wasn't hit. I turned off the car and restarted it, but the same lights came on, the car was shaky, and could not accelerate. The police pulled behind me and she called the tow truck. The tow truck took us to the ford dealership. The ford dealership said the electronic throttle body has to be replaced, and was the cause of my car problems today. Thelady at the dealership said ford has had problems with the electronic throttle body going out in ford vehicles, including the kind i have- 2009 ford fusion.

Attorney sent letter on behalf of client in regards to consumer applying brakes while driving and the passing gear failed todisengage *tgwthe consumer attempted to pass a small motorhome. After pulling out of the eastbound lane, a vehicle came around a curve heading west. The consumer decided against passing and immediately applied the brakes. Upon applying the brakes, the passing gear failed to disengage. The gas pedal locked to the floor and the vehicle continued to accelerate. As the vehicle accelerated, the consumer depressed the brake and maneuvered the vehicle back into the eastbound lane. The engine was still running at full throttle, even though she kept her foot on the brake while applying as much pressure as she could. She then put the vehicle into neutral gear, with her foot still pressing full-force on the brake. Although the engine was still running at full throttle, she was able to reduce the speed of the vehicle and came to a stop. After putting the vehicle in the park position, the engine sounded as though it was still racing and she continued to apply the brake.only after turning off the vehicle, did the engine stop. After letting the vehicle cool off, because the front end was hot and the rear end smelled like hot brakes and burned rubber, the gas pedal was still stuck to the floor and there was no interference from the floor mat. The pedal was stuck at the upper part of the pedal closest to the front of the vehicle. She reached down and forcefully pulled the gas pedal upward to return it to its normal position.during that action, she heard a sound of a click.the dealer was unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle.

My vehicle has had multiple tire pressure sensor issues.all 4 have been replaced once and two have been replaced twice in the course of 9 months. One time the sensor became loose and began clunking around inside the rim. It was only an expensive annoyance until yesterday. While driving at 65 to 70 mph on a 4 lane interstate highway, the tire pressure sensor broke off.at that time it began to spin around within the wheel well/rim.this caused a violent vibration in the steering of the vehicle and made it impossible to keep going straight without slowing to 50mph.this was a back tire and i shutter to think of what would have happened had it been in the front.ford motor company doesn't have a known issue or recall for this problem.i am at the point where i won't transport my children in the vehicle because of this fear of losing all control of steering.i also wonder what would have happened if i was breaking at the exact moment it broke and effected steering.this issue is a safety hazard and i can see great bodily harm or death resulting from similar situations.
Have been dealing with a brake issue for a few months. Took it to a mechanic who replaced the brakes pads. After they were replaced, the brakes still felt off. I would have to push the brake pedal down all the way to the floor for it to stop completely. Took it to a second mechanic who then replaced the master cylinder. Still had the same issue. When i returned to the mechanic, he looked over the air and stated there was nothing else wrong with it. Finally i went to dunphy ford where the greeter stayed he already knew what the problem was before i finished explaining the complete issue. He assured me it was the hcu (which of course was almost $1000 to replace) so i had it replaced. After picking up the car it felt fine for the first two days. The. The issue started happening again. When i returned the car to ford, they told me it was the rear rotors. I asked how could they miss that when they replaced the hcu, there was no answer. The rotors were replaced. That night i went to pick up my car. After driving off, my brakes now made a very loud squealing sound and sort of clanking sound every time i hit a small bump on the road coming from the right side of my car. Well i checked every tire and found one of the lug nuts was loose on the front passenger side of my car. Called them and had he car & brakes looked over once again. This time they tightened the lug nuts and 'buffed' the rotors. The brakes still make a pretty loud sound when i brake but no one can seem to figure out the issue. Not even ford. I can send in invoices and receipts if needed
I was driving and about 15 miles an hour it is raining i was coming up to the slow curve 1 hill my abs light turned on my brakes are locked up made me slide into a curb now my abs light is on and i don't feel comfortable driving my car.
When i crank up the car there are times when it says passenger airbag is off in the airbag signal be on the dashboard as well this is coming on on a regular now as soon as i crank up it will come on on the dashboard every now and again the passenger airbag off sign will be on and it's usually when i'm driving
About a month after the car was bought, the tire pressure warning light would turn on about once every other month. We would always check the tire pressure and refill as needed. But in the middle of april the light came on every other day and the car started to pull strongly to the left. We thought there might have been a small, slow leak in the tire, so we brought it to sears. They were not able to find a leak, but they located a crack in the rim of the wheel. No one knows how it got there. We never hit anything. But the sears tech's said that it might have been there as a small hole at the beginning and it got bigger over the time. The crack in the wheel is what caused the air to leak from the tire. They thought it was much too dangerous to let us drive around with this crack.we brought the car to the dealer to have it fixed under the warranty but they claim that we must have hit something (which we did not), and don't want to cover it. As of right now we are driving on the spare tire because ford is not taking the blame. We have to wait a month to see their ford tech representative.
We have a 2009 ford fusion and i noticed hair line cracks in all the rim's, took in to dealer who took pictures and sent off to ford they came back and said it was road hazard damage and would not cover. All this was done during the first year of the warranty.
My steering is hard to turn so.e time and my seat. Will not pull up in my car and gas i some time small gas
This winter i have experienced lose to tire pressure due to corrosion on the aluminum wheel sealing surface to the tire.weeks earlier i thought it was a hole/nail in the tire, but the tire service person said it was due to corrosion of the wheel sealing bead area.the tech clean the area and two weeks later it happened again, this time i added air to the tire to only find it lost most of the air the next morning. Again the tire tech showed my the wheel bead area and it was very corroded, and couldn't hold the required tire pressure. Does ford have a wheel corrosion problem?my experience tells me yes. I would hate to pass this problem to another person.
