Abs Brake Fail problems of the 2011 Ford Fusion

I was driving about 5 mph on a street when my brakes failed and the control panel started blinking about abs failure. I was able to stop the car using the hand emergency brake. I turned off the ignition and restarted the car and drove maybe 100 feet when the same problem occurred--brakes failed and control panel started with warning. I was able to stop car again with emergency brake. No damage to anything or anyone. This same problem happened about 4 years ago with this car--I took to a Ford dealer who could not find anything wrong with my brakes or the computer software for the abs. I feel lucky I have not been injured because I was driving slow and could use my emergency hand brake, otherwise I would have hit another car or object without brakes.

I was driving about 45 mph, approaching a stoplight when I went to press the brakes and the car didn't slow down. I had to push the brake pedal completely to the floor and narrowly missed a semi that was turning at the moment. There was no warning light on the dash or anyting to indicate that the abs failed. It takes a longer distance to stop the car, there is little to none brake pressure and I can not make sudden stops. I was told it was the abs module and it failed. Ford wants over $1,000 to get this fixed. I researched and this seems to be a standard problem for the 2011 Fusion. An investigation was opened earlier this year into Ford due to the many abs complaints. They have known about this for years and have yet to issue a recall. There should be a recall before someone gets seriously injured or worse.

Abs pump failure. Car was driving lost all pressure in brake pedal almost hit car in front of me. And still there are no warning lights in my car even though I have no pedal! cost is outrageous 1200 for Ford to fix. There are many complaints online about this. This is a serious safety issue.

One morning on the way to work as I applied the brakes approaching a stop light, my brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor. The brakes did not stop the car but since the road was on an incline I was able to slowly roll to a stop partially into the intersection. I drove very slow to work, keeping several car lengths distance because even after pumping the brakes, the pedal went all the way to the floor. The following day the brakes were better but still very spongy. Drove the car for a few weeks before I could get it to the mechanic. Some days I only had to press the brake halfway and others I had to press the brake all the way to the floor. The car has been at the mechanic for three weeks now. Changed master cylinder twice, now looking at an abs module or hydraulics assembly. The brakes have always been spongy and had to be pressed at least halfway in order to stop. This is my second (and will be the last) Ford Fusion with brake issues. The first car was totaled when the abs failed to work causing me to run into the back of another vehicle. The brakes were always spongy on the first car as well. Another note to add: when it rains the brakes are very unpredictable. One stop can be highly sensitive and the next barely any brakes at all.

The abs control unit failed and almost made me crash in the highway on n 680 exit treat blvd ,and I spent $1500 just to find a solution. This is a recall that needs to be addressed.
