general problems of the 2009 Ford Fusion - part 2

Got a ticket on june23rd the breaks were low and I couldn't come to complete stop checked the break fluid level and it was full. June 28th breaks completely went out without no warning signs nothing while I was driving had to stop with the emergency brake. I had car towed to sterling Ford June 29. I'm not the original owner so I had no idea about the recall and I purchased the car June 2nd in gardena California where I'm from now stranded in houston texas.

This vehicle had a recall on the abs hydraulic control unit it was taken to the dealer champion Ford in erie, PA June 14, 2021 to have it taken care of where they flushed it and put new cap on but did not replace the hydraulic control unit. Shortly after that abs light went on on the dash and car sat for awhile ( I bought car recently from coworker). After we purchased light was still on so we took it back to champion Ford in erie, PA and they said the hydraulic control unit is bad and needs replaced and that is back ordered and it will be $813 because Ford will not pay for the recall because it is not a reasonable time for subsequent failure. The car only has 1000 miles on it since it was in for recall in June 2021. I called Ford 800 number and they cannot tell me what a reasonable time is and how long the recall is good for. Any help I could get would be appreciated. I have a new 16 year old driver driving this car so this is an extreme safety issue. Please help.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. The contact's granddaughter received two recall notifications for NHTSA campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 21v158000 (air bags) however, the parts for the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact's granddaughter had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they confirmed that the parts were unavailable. After performing a check on the hydraulic control unit, the unit passed inspection and the recall was removed from the VIN. The contact then stated that while her granddaughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact was uncertain if any warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel, or how her granddaughter was able to stop the vehicle. Due to the failure, her granddaughter had the vehicle towed back to the dealer where it remained in their possession. Recently, the contact's granddaughter received a call from the dealer where they stated that the vehicle had been repaired however, she was given a bill for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure multiple times and she was informed that the VIN was not under recall regarding the brakes. The contact repeatedly informed the manufacturer that the vehicle had been placed under recall however, the recall designation was removed without the vehicle being repaired. The manufacturer then notified her that she needed to resolve the issue with the dealer. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 90,933.

On multiple occasions, while either having to slam on brakes to make a sudden stop or when hitting a decent size bump in the road, the abs go out. After about the third time it happened, I figured out how to properly pump my breaks to make a stop, but I live in a high traffic urban area. Constant stop and go which makes this very difficult. It is horrible that the recall was made 18 months ago, but a remedy has not been formed. I am contacted about 10 times a week about my airbag recall, but nothing about this. Every time it happens I am terrified, especially during rush hour with my child in the car. I will also note, that every time I try to take it to a shop to be looked at, it is working again, and no issue is ever found - but research shows different.

Ford issued a recall in 2020. They repeatedly refused to repair the defect, saying their corporate office had not authorized payment. More than a year later, they finally scheduled me for an appointment to fix the recall defect (brakes). In the meantime, a second recall (airbag) had been issued. At the recall repair appointment, they fixed the airbag recall issue. However, while working on the brake recall issue, they broke the calipers. They jerry-rigged it to function safely. They did not repair the damage they caused. They did not even fix the recall issue, despite having the parts on hand to do so. Now they say they don't have the parts to fix the damage they caused, and haven't fixed the original recall.

In December 2019, a recall was issued for the hcu of the abs system that my 2009 Ford Fusion is included in. (manufacturer recall number19s54 NHTSA recall number19v904). My local Ford dealer stated that parts weren't yet available when we called, and once the pandemic started, I figured it would take even longer for them to be available. At that time, I hadn't had any issues with the hcu or abs. However, since the recall, I've had two incidents that have taken place, both of which were exactly as described in this recall: -in January 2021, I was driving home from work, and as I was coming up to a yield sign and began pressing on the brake, I had to press my foot all the way to the floor for the car to even begin stopping. This happened out of nowhere, and from then on I experienced a low brake pedal-I couldn't stop without the brake pedal being extended all the way to the floor. I took it to my local Ford dealer and explained that it's exactly as the recall states. They repeatedly assured me that it wasn't the recall, but the master cylinder, and charged me over $500 to replace. I was surprised, as what I experienced was exactly in line with the recall. -the car drove ok for awhile after this repair, but in may 2021 (just a few weeks ago), I experienced the exact same situation again, and am currently awaiting another appointment, as I once again have low brake pedal and can't stop without extending it all the way to the floor. I can't drive my vehicle in this condition-it is completely unsafe for both myself and other motorists, as my ability to brake is again compromised. I hope that the Ford dealer was honest the first time around, as my issue is exactly what was described with the hcu of the abs system per the recall notice, and not the master cylinder. (which would be impossible now, anyway, as they replaced it previously. ) if the issue is now diagnosed as the hcu recall, how do I go about getting refunded for the unnecessary master cylinder repair?.

Recall for abs was issued back on Dec 18, 2019. Last update is there was supposed to be a fix expected by end of first quarter of 2020. It's now the end of first quarter of 2021 (15 months later) and there is still no indication of a repair date. In addition there is now a safety recall regarding the driver airbag as well. I understand it takes time to implement a fix, but it seem as if the manufacturer is not putting enough priority on getting these repairs done in a timely matter. At this rate, with two active safety recalls, either fixes need to be expedited; or an acceptable buy-back plan that ensures owners are compensated for the full vehicle value plus time and risk.

I have a concern about recall (#19s54) on a 2009 Ford Fusion ([xxx]) that was purchased from randy marion sav-a-lot in hickory, nc on 12/12/20. On 01/01/21, twenty days after it was purchased, my son was driving home on the interstate and when attempting to slow, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and would not function properly. The vehicle would not slow down. This was an extremely dangerous situation for not only my son, but other drivers as well. Fortunately, he was able to stop as he pumped the brakes and used the emergency brake. Because it was unsafe to drive, we had the vehicle towed to the nearest Ford dealership which is cloninger Ford in hickory, nc. We were told that even though there is an active recall, any repairs would have to be paid for by us because a �remedy was not yet made available by Ford�, however, they were able to remedy the situation, put new parts on it & repair the brakes. Ford has not "released a bulletin". So I had to pay out of pocket for a recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am writing in regards to the manufacturer recall: 19s54. How are these parts only available in the 1st quarter of 2021? it's now in the winter months in northwest ohio and I can't even brake my car safely in the snow and/or ice. I need to drive to and from work and make any other trips, but I can't do it safely!! what can you do to fix this issue? can you refund me my bill if I take this into a shop?.

Nhtsa recall number: 19v904. "parts are anticipated to beavailable late first quarter 2020". Ford has not recieved the parts and or notified me. I just chatted with them on line about this. Here is a copy of the chat response from Ford representative: "carissha at 13:07, Dec based on our resources, it appears parts are also expected to be available during the 1st quarter of 2021 for recall 19s54 dot 3 brake fluid and anti-lock brake system function. ". This is almot 1 year late to get the parts. No updates to nhsta website that explains the difference. As a general side note. It would be good to have with the recall notice any information the consumer can do to their vehicle to minimize the impact of he recall on the vehicle if possible. Examples 1) weekly check of brake fluid, 2) function of device being recalled ie trunk or hood latch. . . Thanks for all you do.

I have been waiting over a year to get this recall fixed. Ford is not trying to get anything done with this and it is for breaks. Someone is going to get killed.

Braking issue when abs engages brake pedal becomes soft and goes all the way to floor difficulty in stopping.

Brake travel intermediately drops to the floor as described in Fords brake recall that was announced in 2019. Vehicle has been checked by the dealership with no problem found. Ford stated they would have a fix first quarter of 2020, it is now March 2021 and they have no fix yet. The car is not safe to be driven and has been parked. I need a resolution to this.

As I was leaving a parking lot and making a left hand turn onto the main in and out of the company, I was unable to stop or slow the vehicle down to make the turn due to the breaks going out or not operating properly. Resulting in the vehicle crashing into a large boulder. 3-4 days previously I received a notice on brake recall for this vehicle but the noticed said that due to covid they do not have a fix or parts to repair the recall.
