42 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2022

I took my 2014 Ford Fusion, per a recap letter, to my local dealership on 10/11/22. I was notified today, 10/14/22, that the part ordered was denied by Ford due to a policy to prevent dealerships from “hoarding” parts. Apparently my dealership has ordered too many brake line parts. I was told that they would retry on 10/17/22 but couldn’t guarantee it would be approved. I’m the meantime I’m without a car as my brake line is leaking and if I have to drive it’s a risk. How can parts be denied for a recall?!?!? this policy puts drivers at extreme risk of injury or death while they wait for their cars to be fixed.

43 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2022

This is actually not a complaint. The recall for my 2014 Ford Fusion has been completed. Recall 23s12/NHTSA recall 23v162. The brake lines leaked last fall sometime, so I had it repaired at a local auto repair shop, not a Ford dealer. After the repair, I got the recall notice. I took the notice and my receipt to my Ford dealer, borgman Ford, grandville, michigan. I was reimbursed by them for the cost of the repair. Evidently, they did not enter into the database that the repair has been done, because I am still getting the recall notices. Getting the notices is not what bothers me, it's that if and when I decide to sell or trade it in, the recall will show not complete. I would appreciate it if you could complete the recall notice.

I have an electronic brake system in my Ford Fusion. I rarely use the function.

47 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2022

The right front (passenger side) brake line burst. I started the engine and felt that the brake pedal would not move. When I pressed the brake pedal a second time it went all the way to the floor. Shortly after the brake pedal pushed to the floor the low brake oil warning appeared on the dash. I then looked under the car and I could see brake fluid all over the ground. Fortunately this didn't happen a little earlier in the day when my wife was driving in boston and on interstate 93. The results could have been very serious! I have found many existing complaints on the internet and there is already a recall for a couple of Ford vehicles (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2020/rcmn-20v469-7118. Pdf) that should be expanded to cover Ford Fusions.

54 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2022

It literally does what the recall says and mine isn’t covered? it jumps between second gear. The brakes do not automatically start working for like 5 seconds after starting it, you feel like you will go out into the road because it will not stop. Hill assist light is constantly coming on which triggers abs brakes light and service light to come on and looks like a damn christmas tree because the dash has so many lights on at night. You guys say it isn’t under these recalls?.

Failure Date: 02/04/2022

The brake lights remain constantly on. The cruise control cannot be activated. I can shift from "p" into "n" and "d" without stepping on the brake pedal.

65 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2021

I do not personally own vehicle, this vehicle is owned by my government agency employer and vehicle is assigned to me along with responsibility for maintenance and repairs. 12/23/2019 brake pedal went all the way to floor while exiting a parking space. Shortly thereafter, brake system warning light illuminated, along with low brake fluid message and a warning chime. Was able to safely re-park vehicle with almost no system pressure remaining. Had vehicle towed to repair facility, culprit was rotted and ruptured l/f hose to caliper. 12/22/2021, almost exactly 2 years to the day the exact same events unfolded. Again had vehicle towed due to almost no remaining system pressure, and again problem is a rotted and ruptured l/f hose to caliper. This is a serious and now apparently recurring safety issue. Both times I was fortunate that failure occurred while exiting a parking space in areas with minimal traffic, and was able to safely re-park vehicle. Next time I may not be so fortunate.

67 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2021

The car had been driven about 5 minutes and then there was a complete loss of brakes. Because the vehicle is a phev there was regen braking to help slow the vehicle and get it off the road. We towed the vehicle to a Ford dealer where it took 5 weeks for them to determine the problem and fix. The dealer said it required a new wiring harness and charged approx $550. It is very disturbing that a wiring harness failure (electrical) should cause a complete loss of braking control — something that should have mechanical backup safety mechanisms.
