Brake pedal goes to the floor, braking distance greatly increases, and the car is not safe to drive. this is the same problem identified in the 2006-2010 recall. please make ford expand the recall to include the 2011 ford fusion
To whom it concerns, well first of all i purchase a vehicle from, i don't have the title, so the bank and the dealership got that stuff. next they think they can be rude, lie, and play games, thirdly they said i wrecked when it came off the lot on condition as it was in, but no way. fourthly, they wand to lie and say 2 different store just like the bank does, i've had to put almost a 1000 bucks into the vehicle, and i'm upside down in it, i told the bank this, and the bank said they be contacting the dealership, never happened i asked to take the 1000 bucks off my loan for these services but won't, this why i'm reporting them, next the bank can never decide if they want insurance on the vehicle been harassed by both the dealership and bank, which is first premier bank and frankman motors sioux falls,sd, plus i was suppose to receive a manual for my car never happened, so something needs to be done, if both places of ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle. the vehicle crashed into a motor home. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. the contact stated that he was a certified ford mechanic. the contact replaced the brake master cylinder however, the failure persisted. way scarff ford auburn located at 501 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002, (253) 833-1500, was contacted and informed of the failure. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic). the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the approximate failure was 140,000.
Vehicle was in motion, driving to work in rain and wet road conditions. depressed the brake pedal to slow the vehicle as it was traveling through an intersection with a puddle on the roadway. i felt the abs engage and the brake pedal pulsate. the brake pedal pressure felt firm prior to the abs engaging. vehicle continued to remain in motion when i depressed the brake pedal again to slow the vehicle. this time the brake pedal felt soft and traveled to the floor board before the brakes began to slow the vehicle. the vehicles stopping distance increased significantly. i was able to drive to work and home, but the brake pedal continued to remain soft and did not engage brakes until reaching the floor. i checked for obvious leaks around the brake calibers, with none noted, and the brake fluid level was at the full level in the fluid reservoir. there are no indications of external leaking around the master cylinder. i have scheduled an appointment with the local ford dealership to diagnose the problem. there are no warning lights, abs or others, illuminated on the dashboard before, during or after the brakes became soft and less responsive. originally ...
While in motion and when the abs system engages either due to brakes or stability control, a valve in the control unit sticks open and from then on the brake pedal goes to the floor with very little modulation of the brakes. this happens every time the abs activates.
When breaking following an abs event, the brake pedal sinks almost to the floor before stopping the car. this condition persists for an indeterminate amount of time (minutes to days) before self-correcting. i have experienced this on multiple occasions over about two years. i have experienced it after hard braking on snowy/icy roads and after hitting pot holes. this appears to be the same condition as reported in recall 19s54 (abs valve may remain open after abs event) which does not cover my car's model year. my mechanic has done the following work which has not fixed the problem: installed new front and back calipers, pads, and rotors, completely flushed brake fluid, and bled anti-lock brakes using instructions in the ford ids scan tool.
As a i engage my brake to come to a stop or slow down my brake sinks all the way to the floor. at times my abs will engage if i'm coming to a sudden stop, only on the left driver side. my left driver side tire is showing wear from this event happening quite often. at other times i've had close call accidents due to my brakes not engaging like they should. my yearly inspection is also getting difficult to past by having this brake issue. as far as i know 2006- 2010 models have had a recall due to similar incidents. my 2011 fusion was manufactured in february 2011 and could have the same parts used. i've looked into the problem before the recall was put in place for the older models and many ford owners report the brake abs pump being the problem. i've changed my brakes and calipers to see if any would fix the issue but the problem remains the same.
One day i had noticed while driving that something wasn't feeling right, something was different then before. so as i'm driving i can notice it more especially when coming to a stop in a hurry. i didn't have any brakes on the car so i just started pumping the peddle because i didn't know what else to do and thankfully that worked. i have sent my car to a mechanic and he has been trying very hard to fix the problem. we've changed all the pads and rotors, bled out the lines, rebauilt the master cylinder and even bought a used abs pump. nothing has worked to get the brakes working properly so that is why i am making this complaint about the brake sytem in my vehicle not working correctly and could've lead to someone getting hurt or killed. i have done more work on the vehicle now then it is even worth so i hope that you can help me out in this situation with my brakes. thank you
On 5 november 2019 while traveling i-270 in maryland without prior warning my brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the following warning lights came on: brake, abs, and traction control. this vehicle was extremely difficult to slow down or stop on the highway. this repair cost me $1335.53 and sounds very similar to the ford recall announced on december 19th involving 2006-2010 fusions. mine is a 2011.
In august 2016, i cranked my car (a 2011 ford fusion hybrid) in my driveway and noticed the service advancetrac, brake failure system, and abs lights lit up on the dash. i tried to back out and notcied the electric break were not working and the break peddle was to the floor and difficult to press. the car was towed to a ford dealer. they kept the car for a week and could not find a probelm. the lights went off and the probelm was resolved on its own. in august 2019, this probelm happened again. i cranked the car in a parking lot and noticed the same warning lights from 3 years ago were on. i was able to get home, but the brakes were not very responsive and were significiantly further down than usual. i took the car to a ford dealership and they claimed they "reset the system" and the problem was resolved. a few weeks later, the issue reoccured. the dealership said they did not know how to relsove the problem. after about 4 days the warning lights went off and the brakes returned to normal. on october 20, 2019 the ...
We were driving our 11 fusion on a narrow road and pulled over into loose gravel while braking and the abs was activated and the brake pedal went almost to the floor. the next day the brakes seemed fine, then i pulled out of my driveway and the brakes went almost to the floor again and the pedal has never came back. i'm scared to drive this car because i fear that someone is going to get killed before ford is forced to enact a recall. please help us! sincerely, fed up. *tr
The abs module not working and the brake foot so soft there is no pressure.
When you first start the car, the break booster is not building pressure properly. the first time you use the breaks, the break peddle will go all the way to the floor barely engaging the breaks. there is no way to perform an emergency stop if needed. i have had the car looked at in different shops for this. all people who have driven the car have duplicated the problem but are unable to find a fix. this has been a problem since i bought the car.
I was entering a freeway on an entrance. the cars in front me began to slow down. i was going about 45 mph. i apply brakes and i didn't feel a slow down. i reacted by then slamming the brakes and i want slowing down. i swerved into the shoulder hit the concrete wall, then hit another car from the side that was about 4 cars down and then hit the concrete wall again. the entire time i had the brakes pressed completely down. i did stop and i had the brakes floored. the pressure i'm used to feeling was no there. no one was seriously hurt. i travelled passed 6 cars and hit 1. i had plenty of time and distance to break, i couldn't stop. there were no warnings my brakes were a problems. i had just replaced all 4 brakes pads judy 2018 and did not have any issues. the freeway ramp i entered had construction so i was enclosed and had no option but the concrete wall and the ramp was ending since it merged into the highway.
Brakes went spongy after applying brakes on sudden downhill city street. took car to ford for brake inspection. they diagnosed problem as faulty abs dump valve. had to have ford remove and install new abs module and abs control module. very expensive repair for faulty ford part.
