My car is doing exactly what the current recall is for, but the dealership said my car isn't under recall. i am having to press my brakes much harder in order for the braking to engage. i was driving to and from work and had to press my brakes all the way down before it would start to eventually slow down.
Was driving out of a parking lot and tried to brake. suddenly my brake light, abs light, and service advancetrac lights come on the dash. the pedal goes all the way to the floor and my car is not stopping. to avoid getting t boned i have to pull the emergency brake. brought the car to get fixed and my abs/ hcu unit failed. the cost to repair was crazy high. looked it up and ford is currently doing a recall for 2006-2010 ford fusions for the exact same reason my brakes failed. they are not including hybrids in this recall for some reason. i would highly encourage ford to include hybrids in the recall as clearly it doesn't matter if it is a hybrid or not. ford fusions from 2006-2010 are having this issue and it could have happened to me on the highway. would have been fatal at that point because with no brakes going 65 mph, not good!
Recall: 19s54 is only allowing fusions manufactured up to 07/09. my fusion was made in sept. at the mexico plant. vehicle exhibits exact symptoms and is currently exhibiting them. second time this has happened. last year had abs event and pedal traveled further. valve became unstuck by itself and was fine until the other day when another abs event occurred and pedal is traveling further now. latest event, was traveling down slight hill on a snowy road and needed to stop. it was a long abs event. after coming to complete stop, waited a minute or so and began traveling with traffic again. went to slow down/stop again and noticed pedal is traveling further. this vehicle should be included in this recall
Tl* the contact's daughter owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated while driving at 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but required extra effort to stop the vehicle. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to bill collins ford lincoln of louisville located at 4220 bardstown rd, louisville, ky 40218, (502)459-9550, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not included. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
When operating my vehicle it makes audible breaking sounds. when coming to a stop you can hear the screeching of brakes. it was light, but it seem's like it's getting louder though. this happens when driving in town on the streets.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving approximately 20 mph, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. the contact stated that she had to apply more pressure to the brake pedal than usual to stop the vehicle. the contact stated that the vehicle seemed to stop at a lower speed than the amount of force that was needed to apply the brakes. the air bags did not deploy. the contact sustained injuries to the hip, ankle, knee, and wrist. medical attention was not received. a police report was filed. the vehicle was not towed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact of a future recall regarding the brakes. the manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa to file a complaint. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Brakes failed at 127,000 miles due to faulty abs pump. brakes pressed all the way to floor while driving and at stops . error codes in picture
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would not immediately stop and the pedal traveled to the floorboard and felt spongy. the vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who replaced the brake pads and master cylinder, but the failure continued. the mechanic determined that the abs was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 140,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving 40 mph, the anti-lock brakes engaged automatically. the driver depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard and the vehicle slowly stopped. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where two sensors were replaced; however, the failure recurred. while driving on slick roads and over a patch of ice, the anti-lock brakes engaged again and the contact lost all brake power. the contact pulled over and parked the vehicle for awhile. afterwards, the brake power returned. on another occasion, while driving in the rain, the anti-lock brakes engaged again. the contact coasted into a parking lot and pumped the brake pedal numerous times. afterwards, the brake pedal returned to normal. the contact called mountaineer ford lincoln mitsubishi (615 n eisenhower dr, beckley, wv 25801, (304) 461-0505) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). the dealer stated that the contact needed to wait until the recall was issued and advised her to call the manufacturer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 53,000.
When my fusion hits a bump my brakes pedal goes almost to the floor. when i brake hard and turn wheels my brake pedal goes almost to the floor. when i brake on wet pavement my brake pedal almost goes to the floor. when my brake pedal almost goes all the way to the floor and i have to pump my to get the car to stop. the brakes get better in a few days after abs valves closes. this has been going on for over two years. this happen today when i was stopping behind a car to make a turn and my pedal went to the floor and i was just able to stop in time before i hit the car. i know the abs module needs to be replace at a cost of $1200 to me. i also know this a common problem in the ford fusion that ford will not fix!
While driving on a city street i came to a stop light applied my brakes and they went almost to the floor. i took my 2010 ford fusion to laird noller ford repair shop and was told my abs hydraulic pump was faulty and needs to be replace at a cost of $1,300.00. while the repair was reviewing my brake issue a worker moved my vehicle knowing it had no brakes and caused damage to the rear bumper and fender. i would think a brake problem of this nature which could have caused the death of my children and i would be on the recall list. in addition, i should be reimbursed for this repair since it is a manufactory fault and not caused by me.
Losing all brakes after abs kicks in. was told it needs an abs control module that has to be replaced by the dealer.
Anti lock brake pump failure. brakes failed, went to floor, almost crashed car. numerous complaints online, common problem and safety issue ford should fix.
In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows 'stop safely now' loose acceleration. turn car off then back on and can drive. check engine light on. told vacuum pump creating issue. replaced and car okay. while in motion on highway during acceleration 'stop safely now' entire car shuts down while driving. loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. but also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. how does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. no shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. possible abs module, electronic control, o2 sensor replacement too.
When applying the brakes, if i encounter a situation that would engage abs, instead of abs turning on, the brake suddenly travels to the floor. this has happened 3 times in the past year. private mechanic could not diagnose. ford dealer service bleed the lines and could not guarantee problem was eliminated. no codes are produced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed to the floorboard to stop the vehicle. the power steering assist warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the master cylinder was inspected. the mechanic was unable provide a cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 175,000.
Intermittently my brakes will go out, most often this happens after the vehicle has been off and i turn it off and try to reverse though it also happens when in drive. it has happens on access roads, the highway, my driveway and most often in parking lots. my car will roll and be completely unresponsive to the fact that i have my foot on the brake. the brake pedal goes soft and i can press it all the way to the floor. my brake light, abs light, etc on the dashboard all light up and my car keeps rolling. i try turning my vehicle on and off as sometimes even the emergency brake or putting the car in park will not get the vehicle to stop. i have almost hit other cars and pedestrians because of this issue and it is highly dangerous and come to find out a known glitch for some 2010 ford fusions.
The break pedal goes to the floor. it does not break at all. this issue started after an abs event. i changed the master cylinder and rotors/pads with out luck. i tried to bleed the abs pump using a scan tool and no changes.
(my daily path is on city streets marked 45 mph. incidents generally occur at intersections with stop lights/signs; i am continuing straight and not turning) brakes do not function when brake pedal is pressed while driving during wet conditions, conditions with a dusting of snow or if vehicle hits a bump while brake pedal is pressed. instead, the brake pedal falls all the way to the floor and the vehicle continues forward. driver must pump brake pedal numerous times to get pedal to return to normal position and for brakes to activate. this has not happened under normal conditions. the abs system does not seem to activate, as it does not function with the normal chattering movement that an abs system has. driver can hear a slight hum and feel normal pedal resistance when the brake pedal is initially pressed, then the brake pedal falls to the floor and the vehicle continues forward. this does not always occur when the pavement is wet, as it is very unpredictable. the brake pads on this vehicle are somewhere around a year old. tires are about 8 months old and have full tread. the vehicle has been driven 159,000 miles with the first incidence of brake failure happening somewhere around 40,000 miles. i was narrowly missed by a semi truck driver on friday morning as i slid through a red light, on a wet roadway, with my foot on the pedal which had fallen to the floor. this is not just a problem with my vehicle, as there are hundreds of people reporting the same issue on forums online. please make ford recall these vehicles before someone dies. i will put a date of occurrence below but it only signifies the latest date this has happened. this began in november 2012 and seems to be increasing in frequency. i have experienced brake failure three times in the last 45 days.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving at various speeds the brake pedal was applied however was slow to respond and failed to stop. the brake warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to palmetto ford lincoln 1625 savannah hwy, charleston, sc 29407 (843) 571-3673, where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. the vehicle was towed to. jones ford 5757 rivers ave, north charleston, sc 29406 843) 744-3311 where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder, rear brakes, fluid flush and power booster needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to bonnell motors inc 353 cambridge st, winchester, ma 01890 (781) 729-9700 where it was diagnosed that the electronic control unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 service brakes, hydraulic. the manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 84,000. the vin was invalid.
Takata inflators: my vehicle was not driven for 6 months as part of the recall. i was given a rental while waiting for parts, but since having the recall parts installed my vehicle has started having brake problems. when driving the brake pedal will go all the way down to the floor. it feels like the brakes will not hold pressure. i had the brake pads and rotors changed after it sat for 6 months.
Reversing my car out of the driveway and the car would not brake. lost all brakes in the car. prior to this issue i always though the vehicle had very low brakes. i'd have to press the break very low to the floor to stop. when i lost the brakes i'm the car i initially thought the cause was due to bad calipers and rotors. after replacing all calipers under warranty and bleeding that was not the issue. towed the car to torrington ford and it was diagnosed as needing a master cylinder first which may not fix the problem and then a possible hcu replacement of the master cylinder doesn't correct he brake issue. *ln*jb
The first time this happened, i hit a pothole. the brakes felt loose/spongy, and i had to press down all the way for the brakes to work. i pumped them a few times, and it seemed to fix the problem. it was raining a bit the other day. i turned, and brakes a little and felt the abs kick in. after that, i was coming to a stop light. i began to brake, but had to press down about halfway to even begin braking, and all the way to brake completely. this problem has continued since then, even without rain
1st incident while trying to make a turn i applied my brakes and the pedal went to the floor i pumped the pedal and was able to slow my vehicle to make the turn. it happened again while trying to come to a stop on a slight incline to park again i applied brakes and it went to the floor i had to pump the brakes to come to a stop. second incident 2 weeks after the 1st while approaching an intersection i applied brakes and the vehicle came to a stop but instantly lost pressure and the pedal went to the floor. my vehicle started rolling into the intersection and i had to pump the brakes to be able to avoid hitting another vehicle. this seems to be happening sporadically. ive researched the problem and it seems multiple people have had the same serious safety issues with the brakes & has cost over $1,000 to possibly correct the situation.
Unexpected increase of braking distance. when doing a k turn, i should be able to stop but the car continue to rolls when brake is pressed to the floor. this caused me to roll into a curb. this happens regularly but inconsistently. the car was going less then 5 miles an hour and took more then 5 feet to come to a complete stop with the pedal pressed all the way.
Vehicle in motion, at 35-40mph with the brake pedal to the floor, the vehicle will take 6-7 car lengths to come to a full stop, slowly, with no locking of tires, no abs. no error codes. shop #1 went through brake system and said it sounds like the hcu is bad. ford dealership is telling me that the braking distance, response (pedal to the floor) is normal for this car. at freeway speeds, the stopping distance is so long there would be no way to avoid an accident. dealership states since no codes are showing, they won't physically test or warranty the hcu. this is an on-going issue with the car that is getting worse over time. this is a known issue, without codes, and has resulted in an investigation. recommend speeding up that investigation.
Shortly after the abs of the car was activated on loose gravel, my brake pedal faded and ultimately went to the floor forcing me to use the emergency brake to stop the car to avoid going thru an intersection, potentially causing an accident. pedal braking power is almost non-existent. there were no warning lights, and the car reports everything is fine with the braking system.
When trying to stop vehicle, the brake pedal lowers to floor and is slow to stop the car. car continues to travel with foot on the pedal. all diagnostic tests on brakes and master cylinder are stating that brakes are working as they should with no problems to fix but the brake pedal does not stop the car. everything that could be causing the pedal to lower to the floor and be slow to stop the vehicle has been checked multiple times. pads are good, rotors are good, brake fluid good, no leaks, brake lines are good, no air in lines, master cylinder is good. according to social media outlets and ford forums, there are hundreds of complaints with the same exact problem with the soft brake pedal and failure to stop the vehicle. so, the question is...why has there not been a recall?
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the brake pedal went to the floor. there was no warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. the vehicle was taken to the conway heaton inc dealer (502-348-3929, located at 810 n 3rd st, bardstown, ky 40004) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle had no brakes. the technician replaced the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was repaired. the failure mileage was 154,493.
The vehicle has a soft brake pedal for approximately the last 18 months and further brake travel is required to get the same or similar braking performance, often to the floor. occasionally, this becomes concerning when coming to a stop light or stop sign as the vehicle does not seem to always slow or stop consistently. additionally, a problem occurs when the vehicle has been sitting for a few hours, such as overnight or after work. when first applying the brakes, there is almost no braking that happens. this is at slow speeds, 1-5 mph. example, approximately weekly, when backing out of a parking space the vehicle will continue to roll a few feet (3-5 feet) even when the brake pedal is depressed all the way to the floor. this is at very slow speeds, definitely under 5 mph. at those speeds the vehicle should stop immediately. this has resulted in nearly backing into vehicles. the vehicle was taken a ford dealer to diagnose the issue. the dealer stated a hydraulic control unit in the braking system was stuck and would need to be replaced. this diagnosis is very similar, if not the same as nhsta campaign 19v904000 and ford recall 19s54. however, my vehicle is not considered part of that recall due to date of manufacture. since the problems seem to be the same, please urge ford to expand the recall to include all affected vehicles for this safety issue.
Driving during a snowstorm,i went to use the brakes. the anti lock brakes kicked in and since then the brake pedal is spongy sometimes the pedal goes to the floor. have to pump the pedal. master cylinder is good and brakes have been bled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving approximately 5 mph, the brakes lost power and the abs indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and replaced the brake module. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
While driving on dry pavement and transitioning to a dirt road, the hcu unit has malfunctioned while applying the brakes and caused my vehicle to have no brakes and the vehicle failed to stop. i was forced to use the emergency brake to avoid an accident. this caused the entire braking system to fail and the vehicle has been in the shop for over 7 business days with no concrete repair in site. to date the estimated cost for repair not including the hcu is $1,500 just in labor to try and find the issue.
While turning out of the driveway into the street the brake petal pulsed as if the antilock brake system was activated. immediately after that the brake pedal went to the floor with no brakes being present. pumping the brakes restored a little of the pedal pressure. after that the brakes remained spongy. we replaced the brake master cyljnder but were unable to get any pressure in the brake system even after bleeding the brake lines. the dealer said that it was the abs control module. there should not be a part that can fail while driving that can physically take away all of the break pressure in the system. in researching on the internet i have found hundreds of cases of people saying the same thing happened to them with their fusion. the problem seems to be that one of the valves in the abs control module can stick in the open position creating a loop in the brake line system that allows the fluid to circulate instead of pressurizing the wheel calipers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving 15 mph, the contact attempted to stop the vehicle, but the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. the contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. on other occasions, the brake pedal was soft and would take time to stop the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to john kennedy ford of conshohocken (1403 ridge pike, conshohocken, pa 19428, (610) 279-1700) to be diagnosed, but no failure could be located. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 104,232.
Brakes randomly nearly fail...have to push pedal all the way to the floor. i put a new battery in, it stopped, until today when i nearly ran into a light pole trying to turn on a city street. i also had similar power steering issues 2 years ago, and had to have it replaced for $2000
Brakes failed. replaced master cylinder, and abs pump still no brakes. electrical codes keep coming up. rreplaced pads all around and rotor and caliper. bleed system. with no power to car brake petal hard and power pedal goes right to the floor. system barely bleeds.
My breaks go in and out, the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor as i'm in motion on the road. it's happened in the highway and on city streets. luckly i had fast reflex to punch the pedal a couple times and that made it a tad bit better. i had the master cylinder and booster replaced, and the problem is still ongoing. the mechanic said the next step would be the abs pump.
In motion: brakes stopped working properly while driving (modulator for abs failed) and power steering locked up the steering wheel to the point that it required significant effort while driving which created a dangerous situation for my 17 year old daughter who had to stop in the middle of the street.
Brakes soft and mushy after abs event, now brakes don't function properly. this appears related to an ongoing nhtsa investigation on ford fusions. found repair cost very high.
Parking brake will not release in cold weather. this has happen on several occasions. in some cases the only alternative was to drive the car causing brake to get hot.
Takata recall brakes completely went out. no pressure in the pedal. if it wasn't for the emergency brake i would of hit another vehicle with my children in the car. i have done research and it has showed multiple complaints about this on going issues with the breaks in the fusions and milan's.
The brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor. brought the car to the local for dealer and they diagnosed the problem as brake pads and rotors, obviously pads ad rotors have nothing to do with the brake pedal going to the floor while braking. i did research and testing on the car and found the cause of the issue. the cause is a failed abs pump. apparently this is a well known failure in ford fusions and can and does cause complete loss of braking leading to accidents. the abs system that ford designed and installed in the fusion has a major safety defect, in that if the abs pump has an internal leak then when the brake pedal is depressed the brake fluid is allowed to flow passed the abs pump, allowing the brake pedal to go to the floor. when the brake pedal goes to the floor baking is limited or non existent. please do an internet search and you will see that this is a common occurrence that ford has not addressed and has not trained it technicians to identify. my children drive this car and i found out about this issue by driving the car to the dealership for the airbag recall. please do something about this issue
I was driving to work and it felt like i hit an ice patch in the road and almost rear ended another vehicle. ever since then my brakes have been soft, i have done just about everything besides changing major hardware on the vehicle and still no change. i do not feel safe at all driving this vehicle anymore and really want a resolution to the issue
Antilock braking system (abs) hydraulic control unit is failing. i have read multiple reports of others and this should be recalled. causes breaks to get spongy after a small slide on the road. i was on my road, slid on ice about 3 feet and after that the breaks went spongy.
While driving normally on any type of road and coming to a stop when brakes are applied, pedal will softly go to the floor all the way and car will not stop unless pumped a few times. this started happening after a month when i bought this car from lang autos in lynnwood, washington. first time it happened when i had to stop abruptly and there was gravel on the road which engaged abs. as soon as abs was engaged brake pedal went all the way to the floor and my car hardly stopped causing me to run a red light. i was almost about to run into a pedestrian. this is a permanent issue and i have had rotors brake pads calipers checked. i have also had the brakes bled and tested for any leaks. it came out negative. master cylinder works fine and there is no leaks in brake line. no leaks in any joints that connects to master cylinder and abs module. i have had my car tested and seems like the issue comes from abs module/controller that might need a replacement. it is a very costly part plus labor costs are huge. on top of that i have already spent hundreds of dollars in diagnosing cause and replacing parts that are not related to actual cost.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving unknown speeds, the brake pedal was applied, but felt spongy and failed to stop the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the master cylinder needed to be replaced and the brakes needed to be bled. the repairs were completed, but the failure recurred. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 62,000.
Brakes are spongy and goes down to the floor. have to pump brakes hard to stop car. had new brakes put on and it did not help the problem. the brake problem have all the issues described on the internet pointing to an abs braking problem. this the fifth major problem i had with this car.
My 2010 ford fusion's brake pedal suddenly began getting spongy a few months ago and remained like that indefinitely. the pedal would have to be depressed all the way to the floor for braking pressure to kick in. i was driving in my neighborhood one one day going about 20mph and the brakes became completely unresponsive after multiple depresses to slow for a speed bump. i ended up stopping the car with the hand brake. this was on november 28th 2018. the brakes haven't worked since, i took it to the mechanic and they replaced my brake master cylinder and bled the system. that did nothing. after further analysis they concluded it's the abs assembly that has failed - told me there's nothing they can do about that as the abs module can only be programmed at a ford dealership. i went in to get a quote, the needed abs components will run me approximately $1800 not including labor costs. outrageous. i'm a college student and to top it all of i lost my part-time job i had due to not having a car to go to work. please is their something that can be done about this?
Brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor board of the car and the car did not react well to stopping as my daughter approached a stop light. scary nontheless. normal braking worked after that one incident. anyway we brouht to private mechanic to check things out and he did not find anything wrong with brake line or pads. still scary to think this might happen again.
