After the ABS activates (e.g., on an icy road), the brake pedal then goes almost all the way to the floor on subsequent brake applications. We have been told by the dealer that there was a recall on the ABS hydraulic control unit for valves not closing for 2010 fusions, but my vehicle was not included in the recall. However, it seems that my vehicle has the same problem. This has happened multiple times.
2010 Ford Fusion brakes complaints
Page 11 of 19: complaints 281 to 310 of 548, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the check brake system message displayed with the traction control warning light illuminated. While depressing the brake pedal, the pedal extended to the floorboard and the vehicle would not immediately stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the brake module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Haley ford richmond located at 10724 jefferson davis hwy, richmond va 23237 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 152,000.
Running moving forward brakes went to floor. Replaced all brake pads, brake calipers, front rotors and master cylinder. Engine off it has perfect brake pedal. Running it goes to floor . It is the hydraulic control unit. The car is in excellent shape and has 78,000 miles on it. It does not fall into recall manufacturing date it should.it started in morning after pulling out on street coming to first stop sign.
November 2020 started car in parking lot and drove 30 feet. Dashboard warning lights came on, hit brake which did not work sinking all the way to floor and rolled to stop after 30 feet. Turned engine off. Restarted and again after driving 30 feet dashboard warning lights came on, hit brake and again did not work sinking to floor. Rolled to stop after about 30 feet. Towed to mechanic. Mechanic investigated and needed to replace ABS control module. Mechanic checked for any outstanding recalls and none noted but he felt there should be a safety recall.
While braking at any time the brake pedal falls to the floor and has to be pumped. This happens randomly while driving and has almost caused many accidents for me. Other 2010 fusions have been recalled why not mine?
While driving and approaching a stop on a turn, I hit a pothole that caused my ABS system to malfunction which resulted in a great reduction in break efficiently and/or loss of breaking completely. In researching probable causes and possible solutions, the situation described is just as described in ford recall - 19s54. My current model fusion (a 2010 se) is not included in the recall, however, the situation is recurring and getting worse.
The braking system near failure that puts drivers and their family at risk that ford seems to think is no big deal . The car is unsafe to drive and yet the advance notice is all they have done. I was told months back that they would be recalling at the end of the 3rd quarter to address and fix issue. Well here we are nearing the end of the 4th quarter and they now say it will be addressed by the end of 1st quarter of 2021. I have contacted my dealer and they referred me to corporate and then the corp. Rep had no answers either. I feel brake pedal travel and decreased braking performance is a serious enough issue where pushing back date o recall should not be allowed and ford needs to make a greater effort to fix. And why has this government agency pushed for a more comprehensive solution?
The brake are exhibiteing the same issue as the federal safety agency campaign #19v904000. Rarely, the brake pedal without warning will drop two inches to within 1/2 inch from the floorboard. This started after we had the brakes professionally flushed with the recommended and what the master cylinder cap indicated dot 3. My VIN is not on the federal safety agency list, but the problem is identical. Currently in the shop having the completely flushed with dot 4. Started about a year and a half ago, but only became aware of the fix yesterday.
The brakes stop working, or at least the power part did. The ABS and other brake-system warning lights lit up on the dashboard. I could get the vehicle to brake only by pushing the pedal as far as it would go. It was similar in feel to a car with no power. I doubt this this would not have been enough to stop me in time had I been going over 30 MPH or trying to navigate a curve. I had to turn off the ignition and restart it for it to clear. Something similar what this article describes when it happened I had just backed up and had then pulled forward out of a parking lot onto the street when I realized I could not stop normally https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/02/ford-issues-prompt-fix-for-fusion-hybrid-brakes/index.htm
I started my car up and the brake , brake light,ABS,and traction control light came on and EV don't turn on,no back up camera
My breaks have become squishy. Every time applied. I wait impatiently for a swift resolution.
Fusion brakes became very spongy last year called the dealer, took car in they reported "resetting the brake sensor", and brakes were functioning satisfactory. 2 weeks ago, problem returned on a trip of 500 miles, thought brakes were loosing fluid, checked fluid was fine. Pumped brakes in park very hard x 5-10 reps x 3 sets , brake partially returned. Arriving home brakes functioned fair. Now past 2 days unable to reset brakes and they are very spongy, very risky for travel and performing unexpected stopping. Ford service reports some of these vehicles are under recall some are not?? I will redress this with dealer this week. Now steering fault is showing up, looses assist while driving , makes parking and avoidance maneuvering difficult and dangerous. Again some vehicles under recall not mine ??
I was at a parking lot and was pulling out in reverse when my car was still moving backwards without stopping because the brake pedal went to the floor and I pulled the e-brake. I turned off the engine and turned it back on and the brakes were working again and I went to an empty road and tested my brakes and realized that when I went reverse my brakes weren't working. I tested it again after a couple hours and it worked fine but soon after that it stopped working again. I have been told that it is the hydraulic control unit (hcu).
Pressed on brake pedal to stop for traffic light and alarm chime sounded. The dashlights for ABS system and skid control lit up along with warning to have advance braking system service. Brake pedal went to floor but I was able to stop vehicle in non emergency situation but just barely avoided rear end car in front of me. I was traveling about 20-25mph. Pulled car to side of road and turned off key and then restarted. Dash codes cleared and car operated normally since. I would not have been able to stop vehicle in an emergency situation. The federal safety agency recall covers this problem for the same ford model vehicles as mine but my VIN is excluded. Please extend the coverage to my VIN
Problem started about june 2020. Abs & traction system warning lights come on at engine start. Brake pedal travel is longer than normal in on road use. Appears to be the same as ford recall no.19s54 but this (fusion hybrid) car isn't covered.
The vehicle ABS module failed at about 80,000 miles, resulting in delayed and more difficult braking. This could cause the vehicle to not brake properly and has resulted in documented accidents. This problem is related to ford recall #19s54 and the federal safety agency campaign id 19v904000. The ford dealership mechanic said that the problem with the brakes exhibited the same manufacturing defect as the recall, but since the vehicle was manufactured at a slightly later date (< 2 months after the affected-parts end date). Upon contacting ford, they refused to include the vehicle in the recall because of this. We are alerting the federal safety agency that more 2010 ford fusion hybrid vehicles may be impacted other than the ones captured in the initial recall.
We were driving and the lights on the dash was flashing and I could not stop the car. The brake pedal went straight to the floor. I had to shut the vehicle off and back on. Drove it home and parked it. My wife drove it a few months later and had the same experience.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer serramonte ford located at 999 serramonte blvd, colma, ca 94014, and the manufacturer were notified that the vehicle experienced the failure listed in the recall. The contact was informed that parts were not yet available. No service was performed. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Vin tool confirms parts not available. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard, without warning. The contact called the ford store san leandro dealer located at 1111 marina blvd, san leandro, ca 94577, and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The technician recommended a diagnostic test however, the contact declined. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
My ford fusion 2010 hybrid has a brake malfunction and while I am driving the car will randomly indicate a brake sensor failure, and the brake pedal will have to be depressed all the way to the floor without warning while driving. Oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/4 oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/faulty I have to pull over immediately and shut the car off and back on and hope it does not happen again while driving 70+ on the interstate. It caught me off guard one time as I was getting ready to pull off the interstate and the brake pedal depressed and had almost caused me to fly off of the ramp, as I was not ready to have to attempt to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor, just to get it to slow down. I can prove this with video footage as well for evidence.
When vehicle is in motion and braking on snow covered, wet and/or bumpy roads, the brakes will momentarily fail as the brake pedal goes way down to near the floor before re-engaging the brakes. This results in temporary loss of breaking and greater stopping distance then initially intended and has happened on multiple occasions. This is a major safety issue as I almost hit a pedestrian on a city street when the brakes failed to engage while breaking over a small pot hole. The pedal needed to be depressed down much farther then normal.
The brakes feel stuck and slow responding, with extended brake pedal travel. Also the "check brake" light appears. Match the symptoms for ford fusion recall 19s54, and was also built in hermosillo, mexico, and yet because my car is a hybrid, my car is not technically recalled, despite having the same, highly dangerous issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, and attempting to stop at a red light, the vehicle failed stop with the brake pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle slid through the red light. The contact kept depressing the brake pedal until the vehicle finally came to a stop. The vehicle then shutoff without warning. The contact had the vehicle was towed back to her residence. The vehicle was then towed to courtesy ford (1636 dogwood dr se, conyers, ga 30013, (770) 922-2700) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the hydraulic control unit and ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.*dt
I stepped on my brakes for a red light on a city street and suddenly the brakes went to the floor, my dash lit up with several brake warning lights and I had to use a lot of pressure on the pedal to bring the car to a stop. I realized that I had lost most of by braking ability as well as regenerative braking. Checking the internet revealed that there is a recall out for this problem on ford fusions built in mexico during the time frame that my ford was built in mexico using dot 3 brake fluid as mine uses. The recall(the federal safety agency #19v‑904 ford #19s54) states that it is non-VIN specific. I contacted my local ford dealer and he said the VIN # of my ford did not qualify for the recall??? I called ford customer service and they said too that the VIN # disqualify 's me from this recall and could not tell me why. I was told to set up an appt. With a dealer, dealer , pay them 130.00 for an analysis, and then ford would add it to their database of problems for future consideration. The recall states ABS modules are having valve problems but ford has limited their acknowledgment of the problem to certain modules. Per the recall I talked to the gave them the data on my ABS labels but they had no idea which date code,etc is covered by ford. Another call to customer service resulted in a scripted response of we don't know which modules are covered and why my car is not. Escalating to the "manager of customer service was another brick wall, they refuse to tell me the specifics of the model/serial#, even the part number or date code of the modules covered so that I can verify what I have in my vehicle. Ford has put blinders on to the fact that more ABS modules have problems than their engineers have identified. Checking the internet reveals many others were treated to the same denial that I have experienced!!
While driving at a speed of 45,the brakes was quickly depress to stop from hitting a vehicle in front. While pressing the brake pedal the vehicle was coming to a stop then hit a bump in the road the brake pedal went half way down before catching again. The vehicle was able to come to a stop before having an incident.this has happened many times.most of the time is when the vehicle hits a bump in the road while breaking.afterwards stopping and braking distance was normal. This condition is .leaving the vehicle unsafe to drive in fear the next time the vehicle doesn't stop in time.the time was during rush hour on a busy city street.
Loss of brakes pedal goes to floor
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard before bringing the vehicle to a stop. The contact stated that the failure occurred each time the vehicle was driving. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contract called pat milliken ford (9600 telegraph rd, redford charter twp, mi 48239), and was informed parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of failure. The failure mileage was 142,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I am the original owner. Over the years, after a hard braking incident, the vehicle's ABS system would signal 'error' it would then clear anywhere from a minute or so to up to a day or more. On the most recent hard braking incident, the ABS when into error mode and after several weeks has not cleared the error. I noted that there is a recall #19v90400 for my model make and year but I am being told that my VIN number is not included. It seems odd since I have been experiencing this ABS error issue after hard braking, to the point of slight tire screech, for literally the life of the vehicle. It finally appears to be to the point where the error will not clear.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that recently while attempting to stop at a stop sign, the brakes failed to operate as designed. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard before stopping the vehicle. The brake system check warning light, the ABS warning light and an unknown warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the five star ford of dallas located at 8900 president george bush turnpike, dallas, tx 75252, where it was stated that a brake specialist would check the vehicle. The technician also stated that either the ABS or the hydraulic control unit modules may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.
I have ford fusion 2010 bought used and driving it for about 1 year and 4 months now. For the last three days in a row the break goes down to the floor and gets out of control, break failure appears on the dashboard while driving. You totally feel like it is going to crush with the car infront of you. In my case I have to turn on emergency light and turn off the engine. And when I restart the engine and drive and it comes back to normal. This is really very dengerous if it is in high speed traffic and in driving between cars. When I search about this issue I found a cbs news on youtube published december 2019 that ford was is recalling ford fusion from 2006 to 2020 about the same issue I have. I called ford customer care about this issue, but they told me there is no recall made with this issue and told me that to fix the car and keep the receipt for further investigation.
