Brake Sensor Problems of Ford Fusion

My Ford Fusion 2010 hybrid has a brake malfunction and while I am driving the car will randomly indicate a brake sensor failure, and the brake pedal will have to be depressed all the way to the floor without warning while driving. Oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/4 oddly enough, turning the car off, and back on, will fix the problem. So while on the interstate, if I experience this sensor failure/faulty I have to pull over immediately and shut the car off and back on and hope it does not happen again while driving 70+ on the interstate. It caught me off guard one time as I was getting ready to pull off the interstate and the brake pedal depressed and had almost caused me to fly off of the ramp, as I was not ready to have to attempt to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor, just to get it to slow down. I can prove this with video footage as well for evidence.

Replaced the abs sensor in 2016 with a refurbished one that is now out of warranty. I was 30 minutes from home with 3 kids and a dog in the car going downhill in a residential neighborhood when the brakes failed again. I had it towed to a Ford dealership and they want me to pay $1030 to put in another flawed sensor because they "have not released the parts" for the recall that was supposed to be ready in March. I have filed complaints with Ford (case cas27456010) and the bbb (case frd2022027). Meanwhile I am car-less while it sits in the dealers lot. I just submitted another report to you about the same incident in 2016.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the driver was driving 40 mph, the antilock brake engaged, the driver depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard bringing the vehicle slowly to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where two sensor were replaced however, the failure recurred, the contact stated that while the driver was driving on slick icy road and hit a patch of ice, the antilock brake engage again and the contact lost all brakes. The contact stated after the vehicle set for a while, the brake work normal. In another occasion while driving and was raining the antilock brake engage, however the contact coasted into a parking lot, the contact pump the brake pedal numerous time, the driver came back out to drive, the brake pedal was normal. The contact called mountaineer Ford Lincoln Mitsubishi dealer, (615 n eisenhower dr, beckley, wv 25801, (304) 461-0505) and was informed the vehicle was not part of NHTSA campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic ) and was informed that she needed to wait until that recall come out. The dealer also informed the contact to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000. Aw.

In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows �stop safely now� loose acceleration. Turn car off then back on and can drive. Check engine light on. Told vacuum pump creating issue. Replaced and car okay. While in motion on highway during acceleration �stop safely now� entire car shuts down while driving. Loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. Get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. But also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. How does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. No shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. Possible abs module, electronic control, O2 sensor replacement too.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, a grinding noise started emerging from the rear passenger side of the vehicle. The abs, traction control, service advance trac and tire pressure sensor illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic. The calipers and brake pads were replaced by the contact. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000. Bp.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, applied the brakes and the anti-lock system engaged ( dry conditions ). The contact also stated that the abs only works when the vehicle was driven in dry conditions and not when the pavement was wet, also noted the when the abs warning indicator was illuminated, the abs works and when it was off, it did not work. The failure occurred for approximately 2 years. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, they determined that the rear brakes sensor had to be replaced; that did not fix the issue. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired the approximate failure mileage was 147,000. Bp.

I had just left the gym and was heading home. I had just resumed driving after after being stopped at a red light, when the vehicle in front of me stopped suddenly. When I hit my brakes, it felt as if my aba was engaging, but instead I heard a pop and my brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to hit my brake again to stop my vehicle. The road was clear of any sand or gravel, the weather was clear and it was 27 degrease. My speed was approximately between 12-20, due to the fact stated above. I continued home but my brake pedal kept dropping to the floor and I had to hit the brake again to stop. I drove home very slowly with my hazard lights on. After arriving home I turned off the vehicle and went inside. I waited a few minutes and returned to my car. I placed my foot on the brake and again the pedal went all the way to the floor. I pumped the brakes a couple of times and the pedal would drop back down to the floor. I now have no brakes. Not one sensor came on to warn me that I had a possible issue with my brakes. Needless-to-say, this was a very scary experience.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed, which caused difficulty stopping the vehicle. In addition, the service wrench and brake system warning indicators illuminated. In order to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force. The vehicle was taken to liberty Ford parma heights (6600 pearl rd, parma heights, OH 44130, (440) 888-2600) where the contact was informed that the rear driver side wheel sensor failed and the brake booster, brakes, and pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.

I was going down the highway when a road switches from 2 into 1 exit lane & 1 lane. The 1 continuing road has a small quick curve to it and the cars ahead of me were braking so I preemptively eased into a hard brake while taking that small quick curve and (I believe) the abs attempted or succeeded in kicking in, but as soon as that happened the brake pedal went from being stiff and braking quickly to soft and braking dramatically slower. Luckily I leave enough room even if I am going quickly and I was able to push the pedal to the floor and slow down in time. Even when pushing the pedal to the floor after the incident it still doesn't have anywhere near the braking force that it had at even 1/3 of the pedal distance as it did before. I unplugged the abs/tcs/heated seats/rear backup sensor fuse and the brake pedal surged back to normal operation. When I turned off the car, inserted the same fuse back in, and then started the car again the pedal still operates as normal working condition. This is quite a scary defect as it is the brakes failing/degrading because of an abs computer flaw that causes the brakes to fail only under the extreme circumstances in which they need to be performing 100%. Extremely dangerous flaw that no doubt has caused countless accidents because of a manufacturer flaw.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized several times. In addition, the check engine, abs, traction control, and eps warning indicators randomly flashed. The contact, a mechanic, checked for a diagnostic trouble code, which indicated that there was a failure with the steering wheel angle sensor either opening or shorting out. The code also indicated that there was a connection failure and the abs module may be faulty. Hassett Ford-Lincoln (3530 sunrise hwy, wantagh, NY 11793, (516) 785-7800) and Ford Lincoln of queens boulevard (139-48 queens blvd, jamaica, NY 11435, (718) 657-8888) indicated that the vehicle was excluded from any eps and brake recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. While accelerating from a traffic light, there was a grinding noise coming from the rear brakes. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rotors and brake pads needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that there was metal-to-metal contact between the brake pads and the rotors. The contact was concerned that the brake warning sensor failed to notify that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000. The VIN was not available.

When driving over uneven or wet roads antilock brakes malfunction, causing brake pedal to go soft. This increases the distance it takes to stop. I have had to pull of the road or move to another lane to avoid collision. After stopping and pumping the brake or shifting from park back into drive brake pedal resumes normal tension. Cars sensors show no brake issue. My mechanic ran a brake check through the computer, no abnormalities showed up. I have noticed the antilock brake malfunction on city streets driving straight and while making turns. I have not tested the antilock brake on the highway.

Vehicle showed intermittent "service advancetrak" light and would intermittently go into full abs mode at low speed on smooth, dry pavement. The abs part of the problem caused us to miss several turns for lack of effective braking and, at least once, to end up four feet past a stop sign and into the crossing lane of traffic. The Ford dealer replaced the l/r abs sensor twice but the problem recurred 9 months and then 3 months later. The third time, we took the vehicle to an independent shop where I was able to personally observe the final and correct diagnosis and repair of the problem. There was a buildup of rust and scale on the sensor mounting point which had gradually forced the plastic sensor further and further from notched sender wheel until, eventually, the sensor became intermittent. The computer apparently interpreted this as a locked wheel and then went into full abs mode. That's what the real mechanic said, anyway, and his repair has worked fine for about four months now (the r/h sensor also went intermittent for the same reason about two months ago and was also successfully repaired by cleaning up the mount and reinstalling the original 2010 sensor). The Ford dealer's mechanic apparently never cleaned up the surface of the mount on either of his repairs. Just torquing down the new sensor was evidently enough to make it work for a while. This would not be worth bothering you over but for the random abs part which could have caused us to be in a pretty serious accident on at least one occasion (the stop sign!). I did not observe any obvious pattern or relationship between the light coming on and/or the abs malfunction. Rust is a common problem here in the northeast. The mechanic who solved the problem said he has run into similar issues with other cars. It might be worth at least a service bulletin.

As I was driving my brake pedal suddenly became mushy. The pedal felt like it would hit the floor. I was able to stop but almost ran into the back of another vehicle. After doing some research online I found that multiple people were having the same problem and that it was the abs sensor that was going bad. Rather than spend $1,000 I simply removed the fuse to the abs module. When I did this my pedal pressure returned to normal. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealership, and they told me there was nothing they could do about it because removing the fuse cleared the codes. The mechanic returned the fuse to the proper position and the pressure is normal right now. However I am afraid that the situation will return.

After purchasing our Fusion, the brake pedal seemed very soft. We put new brakes on it but this did not remedy the problem. When driving the pedal goes almost to the floor and sudden stops are not an option! we were told by a serviceman it was most likely the "sensor or brain" of the braking system and that this was a common problem with this make of cars.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving over a wet railroad crossing, the abs sensor suddenly illuminated. When depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not immediately stop. The brake pedal traveled to the floor and the stopping distance was extended. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

2016 Ford Fusion received from dealer on Dec 2015. At 39 miles on the odometer, Fusion would not start, and all alarms came on (low tire pressure, engine overheat, parking brake, parking sensors, etc). Car started after hitting ok and several more cranks. Feb 2015 - at about 2500 miles, the car would not start for the second time, and the third time was at 3000 miles, all with the same exact alarm behavior. The fourth time occurred on March 7, 2016 with 3200 miles on odometer; the car died in the middle of the highway and while going 45mph in rush hour traffic. There was no engine power, no steering power, no power brakes, nothing but alarms. I was fortunate to not be in an accident. The Ford dealership has taken the car in twice with absolutely no repairs and no reported diagnostic codes. Ford has experienced the same intermittent starting issues with the car in their possession, but they refused to conduct long-term diagnosis because they simply were not able to isolate the problem. This is the third time it's going into the dealer and now it's a safety issue because the car loses power while in operation.

Takata recall my air bag sensor light came on air bags never deployed in my vehicle in an accident I was in in June of 16. I purchased this vehicle with multiple issues the dealership that sold me the car new it was under recall and never fixed the car. It was in and out of shop for abs,gas leak,accelerating by itself now I've burned up 3 calipers keep burning break pads gas is never accurate and there's no light but it still pulls code for abs,also it went in for factory recall and recall was never performed. More than fed up and sick of spending my $.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, in which I was first hit by another car and then collided with a lamp post. The initial blow rendered my vehicle without brake power and the airbags did not deploy. I was wearing a seatbelt. My car headed toward the street lamp. I tried to press my brake, but it would not work. I turned my steering wheel to the left to avoid a head-on with the light post. Unfortunately, I hit the post and it broke (later a policeman pushed it over and it fell to the ground). The car finally stopped at about 200 feet away from the site of the accident, as I drove it onto the median strip. My car was damaged on the left and right front lower area and the right tire was pushed way back. The sway bar and knuckle broke, among other things. The right front door was unable to open. After all these repairs were done, they couldn't start the car because the crankshaft sensor also had to be replaced. In total, these repairs took more than two months to complete. I spoke to the regional manager of Ford motor company to see if they wanted to investigate this particular car, as it operated poorly during the accident. They were not interested, and said to allow geico to handle things and have geico call them if they found anything amiss. My back was injured and I cannot safely lift more than 5 lbs at a time. My neurosurgeon advised that I have surgery soon, otherwise I risk becoming paralyzed from the waist down. I have a thumb injury and the accident also re-activated an old concussion. My nose must have hit the steering wheel, as it was sore for a week. I can walk around and function right now, I just can't lift anything. My car is ready in the shop, but I am afraid to drive it, and I have five years of payments left on it. I never would have hit the lamp post if my brakes had worked, and my airbags did not deploy for either impact.
