Abs Brake Fail problems of the 2009 Ford Fusion

I had the abs hcu fail. I was fortunate that I had plenty of room in front of me to stop. I understand there is a recall on this. However a year later Ford still doesnt have to part. Is this timely? what is reasonable time? what am I to do, but drive a faulty brake system? Fords solution is I pay to fix it and they will reimburse me what they feel is adequate. I am a bit confused. Do they have the parts? I have their refusal letter to fix it and text that they will reimburse me to fix it.

After driving on slippery roads on a city street, the brake pedal became soft and we could not stop. We had to pump the brakes many times. The local Ford dealership says the abs hcu has failed.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving various speeds, the abs failed. The contact stated that the front two wheels seized on several occasions, resulting in a series of skid patterns and near crashes. The contact stated that the failure occurred at least eight times since July of 2018. In addition, the contact stated that there was a loss of brake pressure for a period of approximately 24 to 72 hours after the failures. Encinitas Ford (1424 encinitas blvd, encinitas, CA 92024, (888) 700-8208) was made aware of the failures, but they could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

Tried to brake as usual and brakes were not as responsive and needed more pressure/time to stop. Abs light came on shortly after. Ford believes that the cause is abs module and/or abs hcu (abs pump motor failure). They are unable to determine actual cause until I py $3,000 to replace each potential issue. While brakes seem to operate ok now, the car needs more time to stop. Have seen multiple complaints online w the same issue (spongy brakes, abs module failures). I have also been unable to obtain the recall replacement for passenger side airbag as they are short on parts.

~tl the contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving 40 mph, the abs failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard while attempting to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and no failures were found. The failure mileage was 82,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving 50 mph, traffic came to an abrupt stop. The brake pedal was depressed, but failed to adequately slow down the vehicle. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. Additionally, the brake pedal became spongy. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that either the abs module or the abs controller failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Blaise alexander Ford located at 2265 old turnpike rd, lewisburg, PA 17837, (570) 524-7267, was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 50,300.

Loss of braking after abs event. I was driving down the road and I had to make a sudden stop to avoid hitting another vehicle. The abs system activated and then the brakes became spongy afterwards. From then on, even the regular brakes were spongy and would not build up pressure after pumping manually. I checked on the internet and there are youtube videos on the subject and there are websites with this complaint. Seems to be widespread. There is also a NHTSA document (odi resume pe 16-017) on the subject. I talked to a Ford dealer, and he said that to replace the hydraulic control unit (hcu) would cost about $2000. Ford has not issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) or a recall for this problem, so they won't pay for the repair. The regular brakes should work even in the event of an abs system failure, but this is not happening; thus I cannot rely on my brakes unless the abs is disabled. Maybe I should pull the abs fuse.

The abs hydraulic unit failed while driving after hitting a small bump in the road causing the brake pedal to go to the floor which resulted in poor braking action nearly causing an accident.

While exiting off the interstate and passing over rough pavement, the abs engaged and the vehicle lost brake pressure. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and braking ability was very weak. Had to quickly pump the brake pedal several times to regain braking function. From then on the brake pedal was extremely soft. Had brakes bled, fixed soft pedal until abs again engaged. It was the same soft pedal again. Had a new master cylinder installed and lines bled, and still soft pedal. Then researched problem on internet and found numerous complaints about the same brake problems. Contacted 2 different local Ford dealerships and they both told me this is a common problem on 2009 Fusion. Told me it is the abs hydraulic control unit. My conclusion is dealerships are aware of the problem, and I am sure Ford motor company is aware of it also. When the abs failure happens it is dangerous. And I'm am sure it has caused accidents. This issue really needs to be resolved soon.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while pressing the brake pedal the vehicle would not immediately respond until the pedal was pressed approximately 1/2 way down causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the abs module but the failure continued to occur. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 85,000. Jft.

In motion. City & highway. Intermittent abs failure. Brake pedal goes to floor resulting in no brakes. Does not pump up while in motion. Common problem with many complaints on internet. Sticking dump valve in hydraulic control system. Happened several times last 18 months.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the abs failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was taken to baxter Ford south (9203 s 145th st, omaha, ne 63138) where it was diagnosed that the abs module needed to be replaced. The contact stated that this was the second time the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was currently at the dealer being repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

Abs fails to reset after they activat from a slick road conditions.
