I was driving the vehicle and it started beeping. I looked at the dashboard and multiple lights in relation to the brakes were on or flashing such as the brake light, abs, service advancetrac, traction control etc. The main issue was I was driving and the vehicle had some sort of glitch and all the lights for the brake system came on the and vehicles brakes did not work. The brake was soft and if depressed it went down to the floor. Luckily no cars were ahead of me and I was able to pull the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. After researching this, this was an issue for these model vehicles, but I thought this was addressed on my particular vehicle. This is a common issue with these cars and has happened to many of the vehicles as reported on various consumer report and the federal safety agency. This issue is documented in the TSB-09-22-11 as well as 19S54 Recall. I shut the car off and turned it back on and the lights went away and it worked. Car was towed the dealer and they were unsure and I also reached out to Ford Motor Co but they were unwilling to help.

What owners say
The vehicle loses all brakes while driving. With multiple warning lights coming on to include brake light, traction control. The problems completely match ford's current recall number 19s54 which this vehicle was not included in. This issue is intermittent.
shortly after starting vehicle, all the warning lights pertaining to brakes light up. Brake pedal goes nearly to the floor, and there is a very noticeable loss in braking power. Possibly related to Safety Recall Notice 19S54 / the federal safety agency Recall 19V‑904

Tamara recall. I own a 2010 ford fusion hybrid. I was pulling out of the parking lot after work when my brakes failed entirely. I was luckily only going about 5mph and coasted into an empty spot. I had my car towed and the driver took a look at it assuming it was just the brake fluid leaking from somewhere.this was not the case. The fluid was full. After some time he ended up disconnecting the battery and when we turned the car on all warning lights were off and the brakes worked fine. The next morning I turned it on to drive to a ford dealership and the brakes were not working again. I did some research and apparently this is a known problem with this model of car built before october 2009. Mine was built in september of 2009. At the dealership they charged us a fee to diagnose it and reprogram the computer responsible. They said if it happened again I would need to have the entire module replaced which would cost upwards of $2000 plus 8 hours of labor. Considering this model has a known issue of complete brake failure I believe it to be highly dangerous and the responsibility of the manufacturer to recall and replace this computer module.
My breaks in my 2010 ford fusion hybrid stopped working a couple seconds after starting the car (along with a beeping alert and display on dashboard to check breaks). Fortunately I was in a parking lot and going at a slow speed. I was able to pull to the side and stop. I turned the vehicle off. When turning the vehicle back on the alerts were gone and breaks worked. I had the breaks checked and was told they were fine. About a month went past, I was coming to a stop at a light on a city street and my breaks suddenly went out (along with an alert display of check breaks). Luckily no cars were in front of me so I was able to make a right turn and pull to the side until my car came to a complete stop. I turned the car off and on and breaks again worked fine and all warning lights off. With plans to take the vehicle to the ford dealer after work I parked. After about 8 hours with the vehicle being off I returned to my car. I turned on the vehicle and the break alert was back and I had no functional breaks. This time when I continued to turn the car on and off the alert did not go away and the breaks did not return.
I was just driving along on a city street going about 40 MPH, and all of a sudden all the dashboard lights lit up, and I couldn't break very easily. I was in the middle of traffic, and I was worried someone was going to hit me, or I wasn't going to be able to break if someone cut me off. My car had been so reliable until that moment. My car didn't break the way it always did. It took a lot more pressure to break than normal, and the breaking was very delayed. I had a few very close calls, before I could pull over. It was scary! The dealership had to replace my ABS module and my hydraulic control unit, which was very expensive. I know the federal safety agency is looking into many complaints of the same issue for 2010 ford fusions. If other vehicles are having the same issue, this should be a recall!
