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.
Tl* 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.
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.
Tl* 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
