Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND I EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPECTED, SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY DECREASED IN SPEED FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO BARELY BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEEDS OF 20MPH. ENGINE POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED ARE SEVERELY AND RAPIDLY REDUCED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE FULL FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKING, LIGHTING, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE NOT EFFECTED. NO SIGN OF THE ISSUE THE NEXT DAY, ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY INCLUDING AN INVESTIGATION AND TWO SEPARATE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAMS" TO REPAIR MODEL YEARS 2009-2013. APPARENTLY THE SAME THROTTLE BODY PART IS INTERCHANGEABLE FROM YEARS 206-2009 SO LIKELY IT COULD BE WIDESPREAD IN THESE MODEL YEARS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL.

TENSIONER PULLEY DISCONNECTS FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE DRIVE BELT TO COME OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE REFERENCED VEHICLE FOR (4) TIMES SINCE 2008 AND AT EACH TIME SAID VEHICLE WAS IN VARIOUS STAGES AS FOLLOWS: 1ST TIME WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A LEFT TURN; 2ND TIME WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT RIGHT WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE; 3RD TIME WAS PREVENTED WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A SQUEALING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS USED; AND THE 4TH TIME IT CAME OFF WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME. EACH TIME IT WAS REPLACED IT WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND EACH TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED PROPERLY. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SQUEALING SOUND STARTING TO COME FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS BEEN STARTED BUT DIMINISHES AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. NOW I FEEL IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE UNTHINKABLE WILL HAPPEN.....

IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN TWICE IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE. EACH OF THE BOLTS SNAPPED AND GOT STUCK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. WHEN THE BOLT BREAKS IT RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE STARTS TO OVERHEAT, AND OTHER ISSUES OCCUR DUE TO THE SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF TRACK. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION.

EITHER IN 2008 OR 2009, SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD FUSION, I WAS GREETED WITH THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE OF MY BRAKES GOING OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING. FIND OUT THIS WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON WITHIN 3-4 YEARS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE, AND WAS FOUND TO BE RELATED TO THE THERMOSTAT, THE ENGINE WOULD ALWAYS RUN TOWARDS THE COOL END, NEVER GOING ABOVE 1/3 OF THE WAY TO THE HALFWAY MARK. THAT WAS FIXED AFTER YEARS OF FAILED ATTEMPT. AND ALL THE WHILE, I NEVER HAD A FUNCTIONING AIR CONDITION UNIT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR YEARLY, AND THEN FOUND TO BE RELATED THE CAR ALWAYS RUNNING TOO COOL. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GASKET TWICE, BECAUSE OIL WOULD APPEAR IN PLACES IT SHOULD NOT (I ALWAYS MAINTAIN MY CAR BY DOING THE OIL CHANGES, ETC ON TIME). THIS PAST SUNDAY, I WAS DRIVING AND GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE TO 65, THEN 60, THEN WOULD NOT GO PAST 40 SO I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE BACK HOME. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I SMELLED BURNT OIL, AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH OIL BEING WHERE IT SHOULD BE HAPPENED AGAIN. MECHANIC IS TELLING ME IT IS DONE, AND AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING UNIQUE TO JUST MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED MANY HORRIFYING STORES ON THE SAME ISSUE, WITH SOME PEOPLE'S FUSIONS COMBUSTING AND STALLING THEM ON THE HIGHWAY. I DID NOTIFY THE FORD COMPANY TODAY OF ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO MY CAR, JUST SO THEY HAVE IT DOCUMENTED ON THEIR END AS WELL. I AM APPALLED THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE RECALLS OTHER THAN THE ONE RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS, WHICH THEY CAN NOT FIX YET, POSING MY PASSENGER AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED. WHILE HAVING THE REPAIRS COMPLETED, THE TECHNICIAN FRACTURED A TORQUE MOUNT THAT CONNECTED THE ENGINE TO THE TRANSMISSION. ALL THE PARTS WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE REPAIRS, WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND CHANGING LANES, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL STARTED SPINNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE TORQUE MOUNT FRACTURED AGAIN. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE TORQUE MOUNT WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JERK FOR NO REASON. THEN, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN THE TURN LANE, CAR STALLED AND DIED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (134,000+ MILES, DETAILED SERVICE RECORDS AND MECHANICS DIAGNOSTIC PRIOR TO PURCHASE). APPARENTLY, THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE CAR STALLING AND HAD REPLACED STARTER AND TCM AND HAD THROTTLE CLEANED BUT (UNBEKNOWNST TO ME), APPARENTLY NONE OF THESE THINGS FIXED THE ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH ONE FORD DEALER WHO SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THE OWNER COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED VARIOUS FORUMS AND FOUND THAT OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT FORD VEHICLES 2009-2011 WITH LESS THAN 150,000 MILES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WERE LISTED UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT 2007. IT SEEMS IF THE SAME ISSUE IS CREATING A DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD FOR EARLIER MODEL CARS, THOSE VEHICLES SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL.

I WAS ON THE THRUWAY WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO STALL A GREEN WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN I STARED THE CAR IT WAS FINE. THE CAR HAD 24,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE CAR HAD 33,110 ON IT I WAS ON THE THRUWAY IT SEEMED TO STALL AND LOSE POWER. I LIMPED HOME. I CALLED FORD THEY SAID I HAVE TO BRING IT IN BUT THE GREEN LIGHT MUST BE ON. TO TEST IT. THE CARS GREEN LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AND LOSE POWER SO I DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE CAR LOST POWER IT WILL GO 21 MPH. IT HAS 33,226 MILES ON IT.

FOR THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOSS OF ACCELERATION. MY CAR BASICALLY GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHEN THE PROBLEM ARISES. THE CAR LOSES ALL ACCELERATION AND CAN ONLY GO ABOUT 10MPH. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A "HICCUP" FEELING RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE WRENCH ICON LIGHTS UP. THE ONLY WAY TO START DRIVING AGAIN IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE WRENCH ICON IS OFF AND SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AT LEAST 8 TIMES PER WEEK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AS WELL FOR A FEW DAYS THEN DISAPPEAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT 2010-2013 FORD FUSIONS HAVE HAD A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ASSIGNED BY FORD FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, PROVIDING A 10 YEAR/150,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. WHY ARE THE EARLIER MODELS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS SAME PROGRAM WHEN THEY ARE CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME ISSUES (ACCORDING TO THE NUMEROUS REPORTS LISTED ON HERE)??!! *TR
