Brakes Failed problems of the 2012 Ford Fusion

This references tracking no. 11246006. For the second time, Nov. 29, 2019, my brakes failed. Ford Fusion 2012, 40,100 miles. I was parked in a garage - started car, put in drive and all failure lights came on and no brakes when I used the brake pedal. My invoice for $3,200 to repair stated "inspected and found that ecu and hcu both have internal failure not allowing computers to control respective components. . . . Per pin point test. " I believe this failure is a result of defective parts on the Ford vehicle. This car has only 40,000 miles -- it should not have a failure of this magnitude. I believe I should be refunded the amount I had to pay for repair. P. S. After paying $3,200 for the repair, I was presented with a car that had so many leaves all over the car, I had to use my snow removal wand to remove the leaves before I could see out the windows -- this is not acceptable. They had my car for 12 days to repair??.

At 80,000, my brakes failed. It started when I started the car in the morning after it sat in the garage overnight. When I started the car, I put my foot on the brake and then put he car in reverse. My foot went to the floor board to stop the car. Normally, I barely tap the brake pedal for it to stop. This happened twice and I took it to a brake shop. They realized this brake failure happens both going forward and reverse after the car sat for overnight. After research, they realized that this is a major brake problem and suggested I visit a Ford service center since they were not equipped for this type of repair. I had the Fusion towed to my local Ford dealer. After the first diagnostic, the dealer said that it is the hydraulic control unit. I then mentioned to the dealer employee that there are many reports on this vehicle having this same situation and it is under investigation.

I have had several brake failures where the pedal went nearly to the floor before the brakes engaged. This has always occurred after a sudden stop, or when braking in a turn. This time it happened while trying to avoid and object that flew off the back of a truck. After previous events I was able to bring the pedal back to normal by pumping it hard a few times, this time it didn't work. I did some research and discovered that this was a common, and very dangerous, occurrence. Being an engineer, I decided to look into it further. What I found was that a component in the abs control, a dump valve, was failing to close after an abs event. This in itself is very dangerous, but the fact that the system doesn't send or record an error is inexcusable. My research has led me to conclude that this is a design flaw in the control unit. The fact that it doesn't pop an error is very suspicious. Ford has known about this flaw for a long time, and it affects all model years from 2005-2012. I also found out that the problem was being investigate (by you I assume), but only includes model years from 2005-2010. It does in fact involve all of the first generation Fusions. In investigating further, I discovered that Ford engineers not only knew about the problem. They discovered what was causing it. It seems there is an incompatibility of some of the internal (wetted) components and the brake fluid. A chemical reaction occurs, over time, causing the development of a gel like material that causes the valves to stick in the open position. People have been injured because of Fords failure to act, and there will be more in the future, there are a lot of these cars still on the road. Ford should fix the problem, and recall all affected vehicles still in service.

I've had my brakes serviced multiple times, but my brake pedal keeps failing and going all the way down to the floor.
