1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited multiple failures. The vehicle lost power independently and the brake pedal failed to engage while driving. Also, after fueling the vehicle, the engine failed to start. Furthermore, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was taken to elk grove Ford (9645 auto center drive, elk grove, CA 95757, (916) 478-7000) where it was determined that the windshield wiper fluid penetrated the brake fluid. The brake lines, calipers, and the battery were replaced twice; however, the repairs did not correct the failures and the vehicle continued to stall. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failures. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2018

Vehicle was in motion after exiting the freeway from a 45 minute drive at 70 mph. Brakes needed more pressure than normal to slow and stop the car. Once vehicle came to a stop and without applying any additional pressure to the brake pedal the pedal became spongey and moved completely to the floor. I shifted the vehicle to park and tried the brakes again, this time it felt ok. I continued driving and the pedal continued to do this over and over again. I pulled into a auto parts store and checked the brake fluid, the reservoir was not showing any fluid. I proceeded into the store purchased additional brake fluid and topped off the brake fluid. Upon getting back in the vehicle I tried the brakes several times and could not get a firm pedal. I got back out of the car and inspected each of the wheel areas. Upon reaching the right front I found brake fluid running out from underneath the vehicle. After closer inspection the flex line to the caliper had failed and was spraying brake fluid when the brake pedal was pressed and sucking air into the system when the brake pedal was released. This entire time the car never reported having anything wrong with the brakes. There should have been a warning light that the brake fluid was low. Additionally, this car only has 47,000 miles on it, this line should not have failed this soon.
