Replaced the abs sensor in 2016 with a refurbished one that is now out of warranty. I was 30 minutes from home with 3 kids and a dog in the car going downhill in a residential neighborhood when the brakes failed again. I had it towed to a Ford dealership and they want me to pay $1030 to put in another flawed sensor because they "have not released the parts" for the recall that was supposed to be ready in March. I have filed complaints with Ford (case cas27456010) and the bbb (case frd2022027). Meanwhile I am car-less while it sits in the dealers lot. I just submitted another report to you about the same incident in 2016.
When driving over uneven or wet roads antilock brakes malfunction, causing brake pedal to go soft. This increases the distance it takes to stop. I have had to pull of the road or move to another lane to avoid collision. After stopping and pumping the brake or shifting from park back into drive brake pedal resumes normal tension. Cars sensors show no brake issue. My mechanic ran a brake check through the computer, no abnormalities showed up. I have noticed the antilock brake malfunction on city streets driving straight and while making turns. I have not tested the antilock brake on the highway.
The contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving over a wet railroad crossing, the abs sensor suddenly illuminated. When depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not immediately stop. The brake pedal traveled to the floor and the stopping distance was extended. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
