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.

Took car to dealer because the dash light came on what looked like airbag needed replacement.? I had had that done so they checked and told me it was a weight bar in passenger seat that was lighting up. Does that not protect person from collision and trigger airbag if u have accident.?? Would that not be a necessary fix even if cars out of warranty? They could not answer that and said I would have to pay over 750.00 to correct.. I walked out. What’s the real truth here. This car is a 2007!! Who would pay that amount..

My boyfriends mom was up north driving and the latch on the driverside door stopped working. She's 60+ and still years later has to tie her door close and climb over the passenger seat to get in the car. I can get it closed if it's accidentally opened just like an inch but the door absolutely cannot to opened any further.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11-30-19 DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP IN TIME AND HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE ROAD, WAITING TO TURN, AND I TRIED TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T IN TIME. IT CAUSED ENOUGH COSMETIC (ONLY) DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FILING IT AS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRS COMPARED TO THE VALUE OF MY CAR. I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO KEEP IT THOUGH SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, SINCE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. MY DAUGHTER IS HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO KEEP IT, TO GET A SALVAGE TITLE AND THEN APPLY FOR A REBUILT TITLE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE MY CAR WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORD BRAKE RECALL.

ON MY 2007 FORD FUSION WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2015, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION THE SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION AND WILL DROOP, CAUSING ROAD VISIBILITY ISSUES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD OR BLOCK THE SUN PROPERLY. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED.

THE IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN ON MY CAR FOUR TIMES. THE BOLT KEEPS BREAKING CAUSING THE IDLER PULLEY TO BE SIDEWAYS AND MAKING THE BELT SQUEAK (THAT'S HOW I KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED). THE BELT HAS NEVER CAME OFF BECAUSE I ALWAYS STOPPED WHEN I HEARD IT AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME IT HAD TO BE FIXED WAS 3/27/15 AT 134173 MILES. IT BROKE AGAIN ON 5/25/18 AT 157899 MILES. THEN ONCE AGAIN 9/28/18 AT 159283 MILES. IT WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 6/4/19 WITH 161231 MILES. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME CONCERN. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BROKE! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. THEY TOLD ME I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH Y'ALL.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE VEHICLE WAS, IN MOTION, ON A HIGHWAY, BRAKING, DUE TO ICY WEATHER. THE PROBLEM THAT CREATED THE UNSAFE CONDITION WAS ROAD CONDITIONS, NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, VEHICLE FIRST HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRIDGE THE WENT ACROSS LANES HIT THE RIGHT SIDE THE ENDED UP HORIZONTAL IN THE ROADWAY WHEN STRUCK BY AN F150.I BELIEVE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED CAUSING LESS DAMAGE TO MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND AS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES IT AS A SAFETY FEATURE.

"TAKATA RECALL": THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR YEARS AND THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART, NOR CAN THEY PROVIDE ME WITH AN ESTIMATED DATE THEY EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PARTS AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY OPTION THEY OFFERED WAS TO ADD ME TO A WAITING LIST, WHICH I'VE BEEN ON SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL YEARS AGO. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD IS WARPED DUE TO HIGH HEAT AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THRU RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE AMMONIUM NITRATE USED IN TAKATA AIRBAGS CAN BECOME UNSTABLE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS AND PERIODS OF CONSTANT HIGH HUMIDITY. I LIVE IN NC, WHICH IS ZONE B ONE OF THE THREE PRIORITY ZONES. THE DEALER HAS OFFERED NO REMEDY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE ANY LOANER CARS AVAILABLE. THIS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE FOR TRANSPORTATION SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE PROVIDED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE OR ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING TO ME AND OTHERS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR HAS SNOW ON IT. A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS HAS HAPPENED WHICH APPARENTLY DEPENDS HOW SLIPPERY THE ROAD IS. WHEN BRAKING SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A ODD NOISE WHICH I THINK IS THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURE, BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK CORRECT. THE WORST IS THIS. AGAIN, WHEN SLICK OR SLIPPERY ROADS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE I HAVE LOST ALL BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDEL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO STOP BEFORE A STOP SIGN AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED GOING AT A SPEED OF 10 TO 55 MPH. TWICE THIS HAPPENED WHERE THE STOP SIGN WAS AT A ROAD THAT WAS 55 MPH. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION ? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ? THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLEAD. THEY SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM....AGAIN, WHY AND THE HELL IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT ? NEXT I AM GOING TO WRITE MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE OR SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. I BELIEVE I WROTE TO YOU BEFORE, BUT LOST THE PAPERWORK THAT CAME. BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT IT ANYWAY. OH, AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BLEAD BY THE DEALER IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. AT LEAST WHEN OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE RECALLS SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT . HERE IN THE GOOD OLE USA THINGS SEEM TO DRAG ON AND ON AND ON. SO DOES THAT MEAN FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS ARE MORE CONSIDERATE FOR OUR SAFETY THAN OWN COUNTRY ? I WANT ACTION.

BRAKES - ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREET I FIND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR THE CAR TO FULLY STOP AND I HAVE BEEN IN MANY CLOSE CALL FENDER BENDERS. ELECTRICAL - THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING IN ROUTE TO WORK ,SO I ASSUMED THE BULB BLEW OUT. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN THE TURN SIGNAL STARTED WORKING AGAIN. FOR THE TWO WEEKS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH MADE ME VERY NERVOUS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. AS OF NOW THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING AGAIN WITH NO INTERMITTENCE AND I DON'T KNOW IF/WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL OR SOMETHING ELSE WILL STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE OR WHY THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. TRUNK LEAKAGE - THE TIRE WELL IN THE TRUNK AS WELL AS THE SPARE TIRE AREA WAS FULL OF WATER AND NOT SURE WHERE THE LEAKAGE IS COMING FROM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 9 YEARS AND DON'T RECALL WATER IN THAT AREA. AT THIS POINT I DON'T PLACE ITEMS IN THE TRUNK FOR FEAR OF IT GETTING WET ON A HEAVY RAIN DAYS HERE IN FLORIDA. VENTS - I HAD TO REMOVE THE DEFROST VENT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE LINING THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE IS BENT AND WARPED A/C - CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION, I HAVE HAD THE AIR SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHEN WORKING IT'S GREAT BUT THEN THE AIR BECOMES LESS COOL AND GOES COMPLETELY HOT. THIS IS TORTURE DURING THE SUMMER.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN 15 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE SECOND NOTICE THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE CONSOLE IS SWELLING AROUND THE EDGE OF THE AIRBAG AND THE I'M SCARED TO DEATH THAT THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO EXPLODE AT ANY MOMENT. I DON'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. I ALSO TRIED TO SELL THE CAR PRIVATELY WITH FULL DISCLOSURE OF THE RECALL AND THE FAULTY ABS MODULE THAT SILL HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. NO ONE WOULD BUY IT. FOUR DIFFERENT CAR DEALERS TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T TAKE IT AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG AND OTHER KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL YEAR FUSION. I'M STUCK WITH THIS DEATHTRAP UNTIL THE END APPARENTLY BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T CARE OR THEY'D BUY THE POS BACK. I'LL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN AND I'LL ADVISE OTHERS TO TAKE THEIR BUSINESS TO CHEVY/GMC. I'M SEARCHING FOR A LAWYER TO SUE FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A BAD THROTTLE BODY UNIT WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE", THIS IS HAPPENING 4-7 TIMES A DAY. I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNTIMELY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NHTSA HAD LISTED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I AM NOT INCLUDED. MY CAR DOES THIS WITH NO WARNING! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I WAS JUST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. VERY DANGEROUS INDEED!

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.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE CAR IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. ALSO, THE JUNCTION BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT WORK AND STAYED ON AS A SOLID LIGHT VERSUS TURN SIGNAL CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DIE AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CREATED AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE KEYS WERE OUT, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. BOTH OF THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BOTH ISSUES!
