I received safety recall notice 19s54 / the federal safety agency recall 10v‑904 in january 2020 telling me there is a safety issue with the braking system on my car. It said I would be notified when parts would be available. I got another notice in october of 2020 telling me the same thing, but have still not heard back. It has been over a year and no word from ford. If this is a safety issue they are not taking it very seriously. It cannot take over a year to get parts. I am giving this car to my grand daughter but do not want to do so if there is a problem with the brakes.

This car was purchased in 2011with 68,000 miles at time of purchase. It was purchased at tom mosanos in berks county, pa . It was paid off at the end of 2017, then now all the recalls 4 or 5 different recalls and serious recalls . I have absolutley no brakes all was to the floor with no pressure at all . To many because and I do believe that since it was paid off at the end of 2017 . That I should be offered for them to me to pick out and them to replace me another car for up to $10,00, and that tom masano gets a rebate in the amount of 10.000 or more , I need a safe car to drive with less safety recalls as this car has major safety recalls on it.
Ford has failed to provide a timely repair for my vehicle on a posted recall. They have taken over a year and still claim they do not have a remedy for this recall. It is the federal safety agency recall #19v904. My brakes need to be pushed nearly all the way to the floor in order to stop. This occurs any time I brake.

Manufacturer recall number19s54 the federal safety agency recall number19v904 that was initiated on december 18th 2019 has still not been rectified by ford. I have not been contacted to have my vehicle repaired.
I reported an issue relating to the ABS in my 2007 ford fusion on 11/24/18, but just realized I had used my tile number instead of VIN. Perhaps that's why I have never received a response? I have attached a copy of my previous complaint. I am wondering if my vehicle is or will be a part of the recall for ABS valve because I have been waiting for years for this issue to be resolved so that I can get the vehicle repaired and get rid of it.
As I was driving, the vehicle steering wheel locked and the brakes went out.
I've had constant brake issues since I got the vehicle. I strongly believe the recent ford brake recall is more widespread than is currently believed as I have the exact issues described in the recall but my vehicle is supposedly not affected. I fear for my safety and the safety of other ford owners who might be affected by this significant brake issue.
My 2007 ford fusion was purchased in 2011 and was financed, and I paid it off in december 2017. It since then only it has a 144,00 miles. It was purchased with lower mileage, of an estimation of 40,000 to 50,000 miles on it at final sale meaning it was a 2007 car, purchased in 2011, so that's a problem when before it had been paid off, and major problems of many. I would like a refund of a lesser equal to or equal value to my purchased car price from manufacture or dealership. The two recalls issued that I have not taken care of yet, and other problems with cheap made inside door handles broke easily, being hard plastic/metal, this makes getting out of my vehicle a major safety issues along with the other issues of airbags and brakes and other safety issues.
Brake pedal goes halfway to floor after starting engine. Both the brake pedal and gas pedal become equal in distance from the floor of the car making it very easy to be hitting the gas and brakes at the same time.
I was involved in an accident on 11-30-19 due to my brakes not allowing me to stop in time and hitting a car in front of me. The car was stopped in the road, waiting to turn, and I tried to stop but I couldn't in time. It caused enough cosmetic (only) damage to my car that my insurance company is filing it as a total loss due to the cost of repairs compared to the value of my car. I will probably be forced to keep it though since I can't afford a new car, since I'm on a fixed income. My daughter is helping me to understand what we have to go through to keep it, to get a salvage title and then apply for a rebuilt title. I just wanted to report this in case my car will be included in the ford brake recall.
In december of 2018 the vehicle hit a rough surface of road as I was stopping near an intersection. The brake pedal immediately went to the floor and I went into the intersection. Thankfully there were no cars passing through. Just after the incident the brakes firmed up and worked as normal. Car was brought to the dealership and no issues were found. I asked about technical service bulletins and was told there were none. Dealership thought the issue was a brief loss of vacuum in the booster. Told to keep driving the vehicle, and if it happens again they will replace the master cylinder. Now on 10/9/19 it has happened again. Vehicle went over a bump and the brakes went to the floor. Looking online, I quickly found a youtube video back in 2014 with a full explanation on how the hcu is malfunctioning on some of these cars. After the ABS event is over, the ABS valve is sticking and not reclosing resulting in the soft pedal. Yet not long after, the pedal firms up and the brakes work as normal. It looks like there are quite a few people experiencing this. Please look into at least having a tsb put out. I would have replaced it last december if I had known, as this is a dangerous problem. My daughter was driving this time and I'm just thankful she was in a situation where she had enough room to stop. Please, please issue the tsb now. The car should be recalled as it's unsafe, but at least a tsb gives the owner/dealer the information needed to get the car fixed. Have record of visit to dealership in 2018 if needed. It shows that they were concerned about the hoses to the booster. Nothing about the hydraulic control unit.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving approximately 35 MPH in dry conditions, the contact applied the brake pedal and the anti-lock braking system engaged. The contact also stated that the ABS only worked when the vehicle was driven in dry conditions and not when the pavement was wet. The contact also noticed that when the ABS warning indicator was illuminated, the ABS worked. When the indicator was off, it did not work. The failure occurred for approximately two years. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the rear brake sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 147,000. *dt
When driving slowly (15-25 MPH) over a rough stretch of railroad tracks in the city, I applied my brakes only for the pedal to hit the floor to hear a grinding sound when I hit the bump. I had no ability to stop my car for 10-20 feet until I pumped the brake pedal enough to regain pressure. This has happened twice in the last 4 months and four times in the last 3 years. The pedal eventually regains pressure, but never holds firm when braking over a bump. This has also occurred while turning and applying the brake simultaneously.
I own a 2007 ford fusion with 122,000 miles. About a month ago I had an issue with the braking system. The first occurrence happened during a 'panic' stop when I was cut off in traffic. The ABS activated, then the pedal went to the floor. I had to drive the vehicle home with the brake pedal traveling much further down than normal. I took my vehicle to the brandon ford service department in florida. I was advised that the problem was a faulty hydraulic brake controller, which is no longer available through ford as the part has been discontinued. There are also no aftermarket companies that manufacturer this part. They told me I would have to find a replacement from a salvage yard, ebay or similar place. Not long after this service visit, the brake pedal miraculously returned to normal pressure. I was able to drive nearly 300-trouble free miles before it happened again. This time it was raining and as I was slowing again, I must have hit a bump or slippery surface causing the ABS to kick in again. This immediately caused the pedal to go to the floor again. As of last night, the pedal pressure is still low and it has not returned to normal. I find it hard to believe that this problem does not have a solution. I cant believe that ford has not come up with a 'fix', or a re-engineered replacement part. Can you imagine something as important as the braking system being compromised with absolutely no way to repair it. I really hope ford stands behind their vehicles, does right by their customers and comes up with a solution.
My father owns a 2007 ford fusion for about 5 years. About a year ago, he began experiencing soft brake pedal issues. The brake pedal did not have pressure and go all the way down the floor. The braking distance is also poor. The car travels significantly farther and takes longer before it come to a complete stop. My father took the car to a local licensed mechanic for a routine brakes service. The brake pads and brake fluid were replaced but the soft brake pedal and poor braking still persisted. The mechanic did research on the vehicle and found that our issue is consistent to a known issue in the 2007 ford fusion antilock braking system (ABS) hydraulic control unit (hcu) brakes system. My father said the brake issues occurred after the ABS came on after braking on an un-even surface. The mechanic said he does not have the expertise to perform the tasks and recommend us to file a complaint.
Driving in a residential hilly area, I drove over a small bump heading towards a red light. My breaks immediately went soft and took excessive force to get the car to stop with the break pedal to the floor. We went about 15 feet before we were able to come to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection. Breaks are now soft and unable to drive without excessive force on the breaks. *tr
Two incidents while trying to stop on a wet road. One involved hitting a deer at about 50 MPH. One involved hitting a tree about 45 MPH. Tried to stop but the brake pelal went completely to the floor with no resistance and zero braking. These brakes are faulty. If the brakes were working correctly neither incident would have happened. These cars are potential death traps. There was no police reports made because they were no required. But now the insurance co. Might be totalling the car...so we are out the value of this because of a bad design by ford. Why should we be out this ? Perhaps its a blessing in disguise. I have noticed a lot of other complaints and you are investigating this issue. This problem has happened before with no incidents. Once while coming up to a stop sign. Tried to stop and went right through a intersection where the speed limit was 55 MPH. If there had been a car coming that could have been a potential for serious injury or death. Why has nothing been done about making ford responsible ?
My car just rolled off my driveway last night and took down my neighbors fence. I'm just glad it didn't hit the house and anyone got hurt. My car was locked and ebreak was engaged.
