In January of 2020 and again in October of 2020, I received recall notices regarding the recall of the hydraulic control unit (hcu) per the 19s54 / 19v-904 recall notice. Once the part was available, I scheduled the work and brought my Fusion to dch Ford of eatontown 764. The dealership looked at the hcu and said it was not affected and not in need of replacement. Days later, I tried to drive my car and had no braking capability, save the emergency hand brake. The Fusion was towed to the dealer and it was determined that the hcu failed. It was months before an hcu was available, so the car sat with the dealer until August 2021. I have the repair records showing the part that was replaced is the 2c215 hcu module, the exact part that is outlined in the recall notice. Ford will not consider the repair under the recall because the recall closed when the vehicle was inspected in April. Despite many emails and telephone calls, Ford is now not responding to any contact and will not consider the repair bill under the recall notification.

A recall involving brakes remains unresolved by manufacturer Ford.

Air bag on dash board is on. My gears won't switch how they used to. It takes a very long time for me to get the gear on drive mode. Stepping on the gas break to move gear, it also doesn't help.

This vehicle was totaled in may 2020. I had numerous and constant brake issues with this car and had much of the brake system (brake pads, rotors, and calipers I believe) replaced within a year of the accident. The accident occurred when I tried to apply the brakes, causing me to hydroplane into an oncoming car. My concern is that this could be related to the abs recall (NHTSA campaign 19v904000). Although my vehicle does not appear to be affected by the recall, it seems very similar to the brake issues I experienced.

As I was driving, the vehicle steering wheel locked and the brakes went out.

I received safety recall notice 19s54 / NHTSA 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.

I noticed a warning on my dash the brake system (abs). I then searched for any recalls regarding the area, which led me to the NHTSA website. The vehicle was in motion upon noticing the trouble.

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.

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 NHTSA 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 NHTSA 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 ?.

This is a continuation of complaint 11171753 where I reported issues with Ford Fusion abs brake system. Turns out the office of defects investigation have had a pe going for several years on this issue. Pe16-017. Recently, an open investigation has been initiated. Ea18002. This action increased the model years and models effected. My local Ford dealer inspected my car and determined the hydraulic modulator is in fact defective. He also informed me he cannot fix it because Ford has discontinued the part. Ford has discontinued the awd version of the modulator. The fwd version is still available. What this means is I now have an unsafe car that cannot be repaired.

Brake pedal goes soft with long travel without warning. Very intermittent but very scary when it happens because you aren't expecting it. No warning. Sometime weeks or a month between events. Forums seem to pinpoint abs system. Today, my wife came close to running down children in a crosswalk. Refuses to drive the car any more which requires me taking her to work etc. Not good situation. Fix is approx 1000. 00 and dealer only since special equipment is required to work on abs hydraulic control valves. Ouch. . . .

Abs brake activation causes brakes to be mushy and non-responsive after braking event, this issue almost resulted in a near accident, pedal continues to be soft.

In oct 2018 Ford replaced recalled airbags bit after I got my car back I have a error light on dash that gives a code b2290 which is still stating that airbags are faulty.

Driving down a bumpy gravel road (some call it washboard), I went to apply the brakes and it was like the brakes were not there; the brake pedal went all the way down to the floor. I pumped the brake pedal and that helped. We did take the car to a mechanic, but by that time, the brakes had come back. He could not figure out what was wrong. Another time, coming up to a light when it turned yellow, I braked, the abs kicked in, and instantly my brake pedal went to the floor again. This was on dry pavement. I could not stop. I made a right turn just as the light turned red. The brakes remained "spongy," but they came back shortly after the incident. This last example has happened at the same intersection twice. The light turns yellow, I brake, the abs kicks in, my brake pedal goes to the floor. This last time, I drove back to the intersection and noted that there is a drop or considerable bump along a pavement seam just as you come up to the light. Enough of a drop that you can feel it in your car as you drive over it. Both of these times at the stop light I was unable to stop before the intersection. I had to proceed through making a right hand turn on a red light. I was not over-driving or speeding, I was unable to stop because the brake pedal had gone soft. This last time I took the car to the Ford dealership in town and they verified that the hcu tested bad and needed to be replaced.

The contact stated the vehicle's brakes were making a loud hmming noise for which the dealer had diagnosed that the antilock braking system was the cause of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000 VIN tool confirms parts not available. Gl.

I was driving my car in the city and came to a curved lane. I stepped on the brakes to slow down so that I could make a slight turn but don't remember the car slowing down. I then tried to stir the wheel so that I would not crash. At this point, I might have over corrected the stirring wheel leading the car to slid as the road was wet. I ended up hitting a pole.
