21 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2017

I was on a city street, in motion, going about 10-15 mph. I was braking in a construction zone, while going over a bump where the pavement dropped. It felt like the abs engaged, then the brake pedal went to the floor. I pulled into a nearby parking lot where I could test the brakes. I was able to pump up the brakes, apply pressure, but then lost the brake pedal again. I repeated this process probably a dozen times until finally I had normal braking again. I'm reporting this because I found this link after googling my issue: https://consumermediallc. Files. Wordpress. Com/2016/12/inoa-pe16017-4745. Pdf although the pdf there doesn't include my model year, it sounds exactly the same.

23 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2017

I paid cash for my car before I realize that the company had over 4 recalls on the car. 1st recall I was in a rental for over a month because of the nakata airbag if deployed would have caused harm to my passenger by deploying glass-like particals. And now 2nd recall is the anti-lock break which claims it can be open causing you to have to breaker sooner possible causing a crash. I am currently not able to purchase a new car and with the Ford settlement haven't heard about the safety of us driving under these conditions.

24 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2016

When driving my car, typically at lower speeds, I have experienced extreme loss of pressure in my brake system. I have a full tank of brake fluid but I still have to press my brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to slow down my car and hope it comes to a stop. I have experienced this occurrence 10-15 times to date starting about 3 months ago. My car has 138,883 miles on it at the time of writing this. I am sometimes worried that I will not be able to stop. This has occurred on city streets, parking lots and highways. And at various speeds, mostly lower speeds, but it has occurred as high as 60 mph.

25 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2016

2006 Ford Fusion. Abs engaged when having to brake suddenly on ice. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and was soft after that, going almost to the floor before brakes would engage. Took the car to the nearest Ford garage and was told the hcu was probably out and would cost $2000 to fix it. I told them I needed to think about it. They called back later and said they bled the brakes and that fixed the problem so no repair was done. The brakes did the same thing a few months later when braking hard to avoid hitting a car which had pulled out in front of me. After reading comments online, I fixed the issue by driving at 25 mph in a parking lot and then slamming on the brakes. The brakes work normally after that. I'm sure this is only a temporary fix and I know the model years 2007 - 2009 are being investigated for this issue. Just wanted to add my experiences with my 2006 Ford Fusion that I have owned since 2006.
