Brake Light On problems of the 2015 Ford Fusion

I found little light yellow plastic under my rug after not knowing what was wrong with my car the back light brake light won't turn off it's a little button that control the brakes now my back light won't turn offf I have to take the fuse out and my car won't go past 45-50 mph before it starts stalling. The yellow plastic I cannot find any where. What keeps popping up is hill start not available as well.

Traveling on highway at 70 mph with sudden immediate inability to maintain speed (loss of power/acceleration). Vehicle not responsive to acceleration request until below 45 mph and behaves erratically (just stops responding and car slows). No check engine light and car otherwise runs normally. Accompanying behaviors: brake lights are constantly illuminated (stuck on), even when not braking and also when car is turned off and key removed. Intermittently when car is stopped, message "hill start assist not available" is shown. Took car into Ford dealership who diagnosed the problem and "found brake switch engagement bushing missing from brake pedal" and offered to replace the "brake pedal assembly" at a cost of $1,062. 35. Found several forums complaining of the same exact behaviors and noting that the oem "brake pedal stop pad" had broken into pieces. I also remembered vacuuming up some plastic pieces from the driver front floor area not realizing where they had come from. The "brake pedal stop pad" itself which would cost less than $5. 00 is not offered by Ford, so people are finding alternatives which may be unsafe and include: "brake pedal stop pad" not designed specifically for this vehicle, zip ties, and even magnets! other Ford models are affected as well. Some example forum links below. This should be a recall. . Read more...

In June 2020, while driving and braking for stop signs and traffic lights, brake pedal started to get a little mushy, then the next time I stepped on brake I heard/felt a "pop" and brakes were failing and brake fluid light came on. I pulled off and a mechanic saw that the left brake line was broken, unsafe to drive and would need replacing. Today Aug 19, 2020, as I was stepping on brake to shift into gear, I heard that same "pop", my brake pedal went down very fast. I inspected car and found brake fluid sprayed all over right front wheel well and brake line was broken, making it unsafe to drive. I am very thankful this did not happen yesterday while driving on freeway and all over city streets and up and down hills. I have repair invoices for both occurrences in June and Aug, but am unable to scan and attach at this time.

Ford Fusion hybrid, stationary(parked on a slightly raised drive way) for 2 weeks I was on vacation. The car was parked with the gear shifter in parking. Neighbor told me brake lights came on all of a sudden. Stayed on for 3 days, and went out. Car needed jump start. Car is at Ford dealership in sarasota FL. I was told the switch on the back of the brake pedal is broken. Car needs brake pedal assembly replaced. This rare part is on national back order. My car has 64000 miles on it. Car has been grounded for 3 weeks already. Car has been grounded for 3 weeks already. Could this be a safety risk?.

While the car was sitting in the driveway I noticed the brake lights were on. Upon inspection, the silcone rubber pad that cushions the brake pedal from the brake light switch had become brittle and broke apart. The brake light switch now does not depress far enough to actuate the brake lights and they are stuck in the on position.

I had to replace the front passenger brake line in 2017 due to a leak. Less than a year later, July 2018, the same thing happened and I had to replace the front driver's side front brake line due to a leak. I realized there was an issue when I was driving & the brake pedal went to the floor. Only after about 15 minutes did the low brake fluid light come on after each occurrence. I had my car at the dealer last week for a recall repair and overhear another customer with a 2015 Fusion say she had a brake line leak.
