2008 Ford Fusion brakes complaints
Page 4 of 19: complaints 71 to 100 of 542, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This vehicle is subject to a brake system recall from 12/2019 and as of today 2/8/2021 there still is no timeline on repair. This brake failure is a major safety issue and additionally has affected the ability for me to sell or trade in the vehicle due to diminished value and concerns over liability for selling a vehicle with an open brake system recall. The brakes continue to fail intermittently, with pedal travel to the floor often when braking on a rough surface.
The brake pedal intermittently requires much more travel to engage a normal braking effort. The vehicle was stopping at a stop sign, with a right turn imminent. The vehicle was able to come to a safe stop, but this condition could make avoiding an accident difficult or impossible if aggressive braking is required and not available, or gives the driver the sensation that braking is not occurring normally. This happens several times over the course of a month.

Received a noticed for recall on hcu and brakes in late 2019, stating that parts would be available in early 2020. I was approaching the red light when I applied the brakes and they were depressed fully and the car began rumbling but was not stopping at all. The conditions were slightly wet, humid, and cold. I called ford to ask about the parts and they stated that the most information they have now is that parts would be available sometime in the first quarter of 2021. I believe ford is being reckless with people's lives due this very late delay in getting the proper parts out. Even the recall stated that the hcu may be replaced at the discretion of the mechanic, so even when the parts are available, ford may still not repair the vehicle correctly. What a shame.

Re: recall 19s54/the federal safety agency 19v‑904 opened on 12/18/19 2008 100,000k miles ford fusion ABS hydraulic brake problem. I originally received a letter from ford in jan 2020. It stated parts should be available late 1q of 2020. I received a 2nd letter october 2020 stating parts should be available late 1q of 2021. On dec 30, 2020, my wife was driving the car when she tried to brake at a stop light during normal traffic but wet conditions. The brake pedal went down to the floor, but did not immediately stop the car, causing the car to swerve. My mechanic and I also experienced this problem with poor braking. The mechanic advised that he could not repair the problem without the proper part from ford. I opened a case (cas-29149078) with ford regarding the recall with numerous representatives. The last person at ford I spoke with was eunise, a manager (800‑392‑3673) who told me to take the car to dealer currie motors in frankfort il for a diagnosis. The dealer can then diagnose it and then request parts thru ford. I spoke with the parts mgr (john) and advisor (joe k) who told me that I would need to pay for the diagnosis ($150) and that no parts are available. The car is often driven on interstate 355, so the car cannot be driven safely. It is now being garage kept and undriven until repairs can be made (advised by my insurance company). This is a replacement for the federal safety agency case #11387712.
I received a recall notice from ford in january 2020, and a notice from ford that parts were expected in the first quarter of 2020. It has now been over a year and no parts available. This is a 2008 vehicle, how many can there be, that parts aren't available?
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford fusion. The contact stated while his wife was driving 70 MPH, the brakes pedal was applied and depressed to the floorboard. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to currie motors ford (9423 w lincoln hwy, frankfort, il 60423, (866) 697-0924) where it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 100,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
This vehicle has already been recalled for the hcu unit not functioning properly. I have already filed a complaint for that with the federal safety agency. This new complaint is because the recall was made on december 18th of 2019 and now over a year later ford has not fixed the problem. I brought the car into a ford dealer on 01/08/21 and the dealer confirmed that the hcu unit is defective but they told me ford doesn't have the part and doesn't know when it will be available to replace it. This is over a year after it was recalled. I'm sure ford has built a lot of cars and trucks in the last year and has sold a lot of parts so it doesn't make sense that they cannot get this part. This is a safety issue. The brake pedal goes to the floor if the anti-lock brake engages and most of the time I have to pull over and pump the pedal to get it back to where it should engage. The ford dealer I took it to had me sign a paper saying that they informed me that the brakes are bad but ford won't fix it and that they are not responsible for me getting into an accident. The last line of the circled area on the rock river ford receipt states that.
My state auto registration included a recall from 12/19/2019. When I went to get further details from it said ford is working on a fix?? This is from over a year ago - is there a repair available or not? Thank you
There seems to be an open recall concerning the braking system. From your description parts to fix the problem should have been available first quarter 2020. It's now december. Seems like ford is taking too long to fix this issue.

I checked the recalls on my vehicle and it says the hydrolic control valve for the brakes is stuck open and ford company has yet to have a remedy for it
Brake pedal goes to the floor board and brakes don't work intermittently. This happens when trying to brake suddenly.
The recall for the ABS was sent to notify ford owners in late december 2019. When this notice was sent the paperwork stated that a remedy would be found by "end of first quarter 2020". It is now november 8th, 2020 and there has been no update that there has not been a remedy made available for these owners. If we want to be technical end of first quarter of 2020 is march, we are now approaching 8 months past that official notice. I would like and I am sure other owners would like an update as to when the remedy will be made available. I have had many issues with my breaking system and had to have parts of the automatic breaking system replaced due to this recall while having to pay for it on my own.
