The brakes on my 2008 Ford Fusion once again nearly failed after activation of the abs and going down the interstate at 70 mph. This is the problem reported with recall/NHTSA campaign number 19v904. I know this is the case since this is the third time this has occurred on my car. I have paid for the last two replacements with one being a full replacement at a Ford dealer of around ~$600 and another that was able to be remedied by bleeding the brake lines until the hydraulic valve reset. I find it hard to believe that the NHTSA only has 15 complaints of this, but I guess that is the case when you have an obscure reporting procedure. I am able to find hundreds of complaints with a simple search. I am glad this has finally been recalled, but now we have to wait for Ford to drag their feet on saying parts are available. It is a shame that the NHTSA makes you enter all of your personal information in order to file a complaint. Perhaps you all should look into anonymous reporting.

When stopping or slowing down (such as when approaching a stop sign or stop light) the brakes began feeling soft, "mushy," and braking distance seemed to increase. Bringing the car to a more abrupt stop required increased pressure on the brakes. I took the car to my mechanic for servicing. The mechanic "bled" the brakes and advised me the problem appears to be the hydraulic control unit (hcu) not closing properly and allowing small amounts of air into the brake line, causing the brakes to feel mushy and requiring more pressure than normal to stop the car. This condition has been documented to your agency previously as evidenced by this document: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/inv/2018/inoa-ea18002-5464. Pdf . My complaint is meant to add to you list of complaintants.

The contact stated that the brake pedal was spongy and allowed the brake pedal to travel to the floorboard before being able to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The contact stated that the failure occurred after the brakes were serviced by an independent mechanic. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and the brake lines were bled; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure occurred whenever the vehicle encountered a rough roadway. The contact stated that the abs warning indicator illuminated and the braking function would diminish. The contact stated that if the vehicle was turned off and the brake pedal was depressed several times, the vehicle could then be turned on and would operate as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
