Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion

This is a Ford Fusion hybrid 2010 vehicle. The problem I have is vehicle won't stop after depressing the brake pedal. This problem has occurred few time but not always. We can't drive this vehicle due to this safety issue. Also we went landers Ford collierville TN. The report that the booster and abs needs to be replaced costing above $ 2500. In added that brake disc needs to be turned and pads replaced costing extra $1200. Looking at the problem and the recalls. Recall # 19s54 closely associated to our issue. Please advise.

I have had numerous brake problems with this car. . First @ 23,000 miles back brakes froze up on me, had to have both rotors & pads replaced, since then had pads replaced again on the back. I also had to replace the front pads twice, just this month with 46,000 miles on my car, had to replace both front rotors & pads because they were making a squealing noise . . I feel the brakes are a safety issue, never know when they are going to stop working especially if I'm driving 🚗.

(my daily path is on city streets marked 45 mph. Incidents generally occur at intersections with stop lights/signs; I am continuing straight and not turning) brakes do not function when brake pedal is pressed while driving during wet conditions, conditions with a dusting of snow or if vehicle hits a bump while brake pedal is pressed. Instead, the brake pedal falls all the way to the floor and the vehicle continues forward. Driver must pump brake pedal numerous times to get pedal to return to normal position and for brakes to activate. This has not happened under normal conditions. The abs system does not seem to activate, as it does not function with the normal chattering movement that an abs system has. Driver can hear a slight hum and feel normal pedal resistance when the brake pedal is initially pressed, then the brake pedal falls to the floor and the vehicle continues forward. This does not always occur when the pavement is wet, as it is very unpredictable. The brake pads on this vehicle are somewhere around a year old. Tires are about 8 months old and have full tread. The vehicle has been driven 159,000 miles with the first incidence of brake failure happening somewhere around 40,000 miles. I was narrowly missed by a semi truck driver on Friday morning as I slid through a red light, on a wet roadway, with my foot on the pedal which had fallen to the floor. This is not just a problem with my vehicle, as there are hundreds of people reporting the same issue on forums online. Please make Ford recall these vehicles before someone dies. I will put a date of occurrence below but it only signifies the latest date this has happened. This began in November 2012 and seems to be increasing in frequency. I have experienced brake failure three times in the last 45 days.

Brake pedal goes to the floor with weak braking power. Hydraulic control unit seems bad like hundreds of others report. VIN does not match the recall for 2010-2013 fusin\Mercury cars. It however is same problem. Brake pads, flush and check of brake booster tests fine.

Takata inflators: my vehicle was not driven for 6 months as part of the recall. I was given a rental while waiting for parts, but since having the recall parts installed my vehicle has started having brake problems. When driving the brake pedal will go all the way down to the floor. It feels like the brakes will not hold pressure. I had the brake pads and rotors changed after it sat for 6 months.

The brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor. Brought the car to the local for dealer and they diagnosed the problem as brake pads and rotors, obviously pads ad rotors have nothing to do with the brake pedal going to the floor while braking. I did research and testing on the car and found the cause of the issue. The cause is a failed abs pump. Apparently this is a well known failure in Ford Fusions and can and does cause complete loss of braking leading to accidents. The abs system that Ford designed and installed in the Fusion has a major safety defect, in that if the abs pump has an internal leak then when the brake pedal is depressed the brake fluid is allowed to flow passed the abs pump, allowing the brake pedal to go to the floor. When the brake pedal goes to the floor baking is limited or non existent. Please do an internet search and you will see that this is a common occurrence that Ford has not addressed and has not trained it technicians to identify. My children drive this car and I found out about this issue by driving the car to the dealership for the airbag recall. Please do something about this issue.

The brakes on this car go almost all the way to floor before they engage. I have bled the brakes, replaced pads and rotors and none of these actions resulted in improved performance. I have read numerous posts that the abs pump is defective. I am troubled by this as my daughter drives this car and I do not feel it is safe. This issue occurs at any speed in any condition I. E. Dry, wet, turning or going straight. This also results in longer braking distances as the engagement is not normal. I have called Ford and they have taken no action whatsoever.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving various speeds over a small bump in the road, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard without warning. The contact pulled over, shut off the vehicle, pumped the brake pedal, and restarted the vehicle. Once restarted, the brake pedal returned to normal. The vehicle was taken to sas tire and auto (located at 850 west bristol, indiana, 46514), but the failure was unable to be duplicated and an error code could not be found. The contact had the brakes, rotors, and pads repaired by an independent mechanic (chuck's auto garage). The failure recurred two more times while driving over a bump in the road. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: cas-12555603. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I own stated Ford. Driving on highway rear brake failure. Tolwed to repair garage and rear rotors and pads replaced. Cost 380. 00 dollars. Only have 32,000 miles. We were lucky we were able to pull over to the side of road. This a safety hazard. Today my friend called and had the same problem. $360. 00 repairs. Rotors and pads replace. Both incident on major highways. . Have repair bill and old parts. Don't have knowlege to send info as requested. . I am 90 yrs old. Thank you.

I park on an incline so I normally set my parking brake for safety reasons. November 2014, temperatures had dipped below freezing and I went to release the parking brake to go to work, and I could tell that it did not release all the way. As I was driving I could tell something was holding me back because the car would not accelerate properly. Made it to the stop light leaving my neighboorhood and the rear right brake seized up entirely. It sounded like I was trying to do a burnout and it had the worst smell. I immediately called the dealership and told them what had happened and a tow truck was called. As they were working on it all they could find wrong was that the right rear brake pad had worn down to nothing and was grinding on my rotor. Changed brake pads and they sent me on my way after dropping about $400 on the repair. Not even two days later the temps dipped below freezing and the parking brake stuck again. For the next two months I did not use my parking brake and had intermittent problems only when the temperature had dipped below freezing. As of today January 2015, parking brake has not been used but right rear brake has seized up, yet again, the past two days as the temperature has been below freezing. I am terrified to drive this car in fear of the brakes completely failing and causing a collision. I have children and this has been a serious problem. This needs to be investigated.

The parking brake on my manual 2010 Ford Fusion will freeze in place in temperatures below freezing. While the parking brake is disengaged and the indicator light goes off, the pads remain in contact with the rear tire, causing excessive heat, threat of fire, loss of emergency braking, or loss of control. This also causes excessive and premature wear / damage to the affected braking system. This problem is well documented online by Ford owners in northern climates.

Noticed a noise in the rear end of our car in December. Made appointment ASAP with dealership we purchased car at. Noise was worse on drive to dealership. Informed rear brakes were metal on metal. Had brake pads and rear rotors replaced and they ground down and fixed rear slides. On 03/18/2013 brakes were good with 22,454 miles. Lug nuts were replaced on 02/28/2012 because of 11s23 recall. Feel because car was built in mexico there was a defect in the rear brake disc and they were incorrectly built. We approached the Ford dealership and regional customer service and they told it was normal wear and tear. Not acceptable. I told them I would complain to your agency. Brakes should last much longer-very premature wearing.

Rear brake pads worn out at 21000 miles. Manual transmission so parking brake must be used whenever parked. Front brakes almost no wear. Also we have cold weather here. ?.

My Ford Fusion was parked in the parking lot while shopping. Temperature approximately 15 degrees f. Before going into the store, I had set the parking brake, as the car was parked on a slight incline. Upon exiting the store and restarting the vehicle, I disengaged the parking brake. However, the right rear brake did not disengage. Instead, a loud grinding sound occurred. The brake eventually disengaged, but by this time, the brake rotor was extremely hot. This had occurred one time previously, also on a cold day when the parking brake was set. The vehicle was taken into the dealership, and the dealer confirmed that the right rear rotor had overheated and been damaged. Pads and rotors were replaced. Upon picking the car up from the dealership, I drove approximately 3 miles to home, and when I exited the car, the right rotor was very hot and the smell of burning brakes was present in the garage. The left rotor was cool enough that I could place a hand on it for an extended period of time. I was unable to even momentarily touch the right rotor. In this particular case, I had not engaged the parking brake, as the vehicle was picked up from the dealership and the parking brake was not engaged. Vehicle had previously had brake pads and rotors replaced only 13000 miles previously (38000 miles) due to excessive rear brake pad / rotor wear.

Got off the expressway and while stopped at light smelled "something". 3 blocks later at my house I felt the heat from the rear wheels on my legs and realized the smell was from rear brakes. Jacked up both rear wheels and found the wheels almost immovable. Rear pads worn down to 2-3mm! front pads still had 10mm of pad remaining on all four pads! no problem (or use of) with parking brake. Calibers had been sticking - dragging for quite some time to wear down to almost nothing while leaving front brakes with years left on them. Car was still in warranty.

Extreme over heating of left (drivers side) rear brakes leading to premature and uneven pad failure. Pads appear to have become so hot that there is ash present on them.

Rear brake pads and rotors rust together when there is moisture in air and parking brake is used. Rear brake rotors rotted badly on inside edge. Right rotor completly failed brake pad draging. 16 inch alloy wheels.

Poor brake response on 2010 Ford Fusion sport awd. When attempting to slow the vehicle in an emergency stopping situation, the brakes do not produce enough friction between the pads and rotors, thus does not activate abs unless on slippery or snow surface. The brakes do not have enough force to stop the vehicle in an emergency.

At 2000 miles had car back for brakes. Its been back 8 times. They have cut the rotors and replaced pads and still jumps after about 5000 miles. Vibration in car that they couldnt find y. Replaced trottle body . There is an issue with the brakes they need to find out whats wrong. They have cut the rotors down to the point they replaced them and the ones on the front arent 6 months old and they cut them again.
