My husband was driving at about 35 mph down a two lane road in the right lane and he went to stop at a stop light and when he hit the brake petal, it vibrates 4 times and then the petal went to the floor and the brakes stopped working and he could not slow down or stop the vehicle. Since there was a pedestrian to his right on the sidewalk and the vehicle in front of him was smaller than his car, he chose to drive in the middle through the two lanes of vehicles. He ended up hitting 3 other vehicles before our car stopped. After he got home, we checked to see if there were any recalls on the car since we were confused why the brakes failed out of nowhere seeing as we had recently put brand new $80 brakes on our car and found out that there had been a recall on the abs system last January, but there is not a replacement part yet available until November. I truly believe that this accident was caused due to faulty parts that Ford made this vehicle with and now my car is totaled and I did not have collision so because of the faulty abs system, I now have no car and damaged 3 other people's cars. Thank god this accident was not fatal and no one was injured too badly due to the unsafe abs system in the 2009 Ford Fusion.

The vehicle's brakes randomly cease working. This has led to several near collisions, including at least one high-speed incident where the brakes failed on the interstate and nearly caused a serious crash. The dealership has known about this recall for nearly a year and has yet to fix the issue. They claim they don't have the parts and claim the issue needs to be taken up with the manufacturer. When contacting the manufacturer, they claim it is the responsibility of the dealership to fix it and will not help either. It is wildly unacceptable that manufacturers and dealerships can produce and sell cars with brakes that randomly shut down completely and not fix the issue. This is no small matter, brakes that spontaneously stop working are one of the most dangerous issues that can happen to a car, and such a issue should be addressed immediately. Before the recall was made public, the dealership charged us on two separate occasions to fix the brakes and claimed they were completely fixed. We are caught in a vicious cycle of both the dealership and the manufacturer refusing to help and claiming that it is the other one who can help us. This is a known and public recall (NHTSA recall number 19v904), and we should not be terrified of dying in a car crash because our brakes randomly go out and the responsible parties keep dodging responsibility. We have made multiple attempts at contacting both the dealership and manufacturer to no avail, so we are writing to the NHTSA for assistance in this matter.

When vehicle is in motion and braking on snow covered, wet and/or bumpy roads, the brakes will momentarily fail as the brake pedal goes way down to near the floor before re-engaging the brakes. This results in temporary loss of breaking and greater stopping distance then initially intended and has happened on multiple occasions. This is a major safety issue as I almost hit a pedestrian on a city street when the brakes failed to engage while breaking over a small pot hole. The pedal needed to be depressed down much farther then normal.

Today I experienced a frightening degree of brake failure. I was on a freeway off ramp which was on a downgrade. As I was going over some minor bumps in the road, I applied my brakes and lost about 80% of the brakes. I heard a strange noise and thought it might be the anti-lock brakes. I had to push my foot way down to the floor to stop the car & it did stop. This failure continued for about 5-7minutes while driving in stop & go city street traffic. I was ready to pull over at a safe spot when I noticed the brakes returned to full power and continued to work properly for the last 10 minutes of my drive. Now I'm afraid to drive this car, especially with children or passengers. I received a recall notice earlier this year regarding the anti-lock braking system on my car. It was dated January 2020: 19s54 / NHTSA recall 19v-904. I've researched this problem and see that it has caused accidents already. When I called Ford about this notice, I was told it was only an �alert� and they'd let me know when parts are available. That was 9 months ago. The notice said parts were anticipated to be available the late first quarter of 2020. Now that I've experienced this deadly hazard, this is not acceptable when the possibility of a crash exists due to brake failure! I want to get my car repaired now. Please tell me how to go about this and prevent any future accident, injury or death.
