My Ford Fusion 2010 hybrid has a brake malfunction and while I am driving the car will randomly indicate a brake sensor failure, and the brake pedal will have to be depressed all the way to the floor without warning while driving. Oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/4 oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/faulty I have to pull over immediately and shut the car off and back on and hope it does not happen again while driving 70+ on the interstate. It caught me off guard one time as I was getting ready to pull off the interstate and the brake pedal depressed and had almost caused me to fly off of the ramp, as I was not ready to have to attempt to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor, just to get it to slow down. I can prove this with video footage as well for evidence.
Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the driver was driving 40 mph, the antilock brake engaged, the driver depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard bringing the vehicle slowly to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where two sensor were replaced however, the failure recurred, the contact stated that while the driver was driving on slick icy road and hit a patch of ice, the antilock brake engage again and the contact lost all brakes. The contact stated after the vehicle set for a while, the brake work normal. In another occasion while driving and was raining the antilock brake engage, however the contact coasted into a parking lot, the contact pump the brake pedal numerous time, the driver came back out to drive, the brake pedal was normal. The contact called mountaineer Ford Lincoln Mitsubishi dealer, (615 n eisenhower dr, beckley, wv 25801, (304) 461-0505) and was informed the vehicle was not part of NHTSA campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic ) and was informed that she needed to wait until that recall come out. The dealer also informed the contact to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000. Aw.
In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows �stop safely now� loose acceleration. Turn car off then back on and can drive. Check engine light on. Told vacuum pump creating issue. Replaced and car okay. While in motion on highway during acceleration �stop safely now� entire car shuts down while driving. Loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. Get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. But also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. How does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. No shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. Possible abs module, electronic control, O2 sensor replacement too.
Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed, which caused difficulty stopping the vehicle. In addition, the service wrench and brake system warning indicators illuminated. In order to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force. The vehicle was taken to liberty Ford parma heights (6600 pearl rd, parma heights, OH 44130, (440) 888-2600) where the contact was informed that the rear driver side wheel sensor failed and the brake booster, brakes, and pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.
Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized several times. In addition, the check engine, abs, traction control, and eps warning indicators randomly flashed. The contact, a mechanic, checked for a diagnostic trouble code, which indicated that there was a failure with the steering wheel angle sensor either opening or shorting out. The code also indicated that there was a connection failure and the abs module may be faulty. Hassett Ford-Lincoln (3530 sunrise hwy, wantagh, NY 11793, (516) 785-7800) and Ford Lincoln of queens boulevard (139-48 queens blvd, jamaica, NY 11435, (718) 657-8888) indicated that the vehicle was excluded from any eps and brake recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
Vehicle showed intermittent "service advancetrak" light and would intermittently go into full abs mode at low speed on smooth, dry pavement. The abs part of the problem caused us to miss several turns for lack of effective braking and, at least once, to end up four feet past a stop sign and into the crossing lane of traffic. The Ford dealer replaced the l/r abs sensor twice but the problem recurred 9 months and then 3 months later. The third time, we took the vehicle to an independent shop where I was able to personally observe the final and correct diagnosis and repair of the problem. There was a buildup of rust and scale on the sensor mounting point which had gradually forced the plastic sensor further and further from notched sender wheel until, eventually, the sensor became intermittent. The computer apparently interpreted this as a locked wheel and then went into full abs mode. That's what the real mechanic said, anyway, and his repair has worked fine for about four months now (the r/h sensor also went intermittent for the same reason about two months ago and was also successfully repaired by cleaning up the mount and reinstalling the original 2010 sensor). The Ford dealer's mechanic apparently never cleaned up the surface of the mount on either of his repairs. Just torquing down the new sensor was evidently enough to make it work for a while. This would not be worth bothering you over but for the random abs part which could have caused us to be in a pretty serious accident on at least one occasion (the stop sign!). I did not observe any obvious pattern or relationship between the light coming on and/or the abs malfunction. Rust is a common problem here in the northeast. The mechanic who solved the problem said he has run into similar issues with other cars. It might be worth at least a service bulletin.
Takata recall my air bag sensor light came on air bags never deployed in my vehicle in an accident I was in in June of 16. I purchased this vehicle with multiple issues the dealership that sold me the car new it was under recall and never fixed the car. It was in and out of shop for abs,gas leak,accelerating by itself now I've burned up 3 calipers keep burning break pads gas is never accurate and there's no light but it still pulls code for abs,also it went in for factory recall and recall was never performed. More than fed up and sick of spending my $.
