Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleMar 10, 2021
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Ranger, 2006-2012 Fusion, Lincoln Zephyr, Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, 2007-2010 Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX vehicles. The driver's side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with an alternate one, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 9, 2021 for the passenger side, and November 14, 2022 for the driver side. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleDec 18, 2019
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.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS 12/16/2016. AFTER ABS ENGAGES FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, BRAKES GO SOFT AND THERE IS NO BRAKING POWER UNTIL THE FLOOR, WHEN THEY FINALLY ACTIVATE. PUMPING THE BRAKE ITSELF A FEW TIMES CAN TEMPORARILY HARDEN THE BRAKES. WHAT FIXED IT THE PREVIOUS YEAR [UNTIL ANOTHER ABS EVENT] WAS DOING A FEW HARD EMERGENCY STOPS AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS IS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF TO DO IS TAKE THIS TO A DEALER EVERY TIME IT ACTIVATES AND HAVE THEM BLEED THE ABS/BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS INTO THE DEALER, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, IT'S THE HCU UNIT THAT IS LEAVING A VALVE OPEN. BRAKES HARDEN UP AGAIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND PUT IN PARK. AGAIN, THERE IS VERY LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER UNTIL WELL AFTER THE PEDAL IS NEARLY FULLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. *TR

WHY ISNT FORD DOING SOMETHING, I MEAN ITS NOT A BROKEN RADIO OR NAVIGATION ERROR, ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME!

AFTER HITTING THE BRAKES AND ENGAGING THE ABS SYSTEM, THE BRAKES HAVE NOW GONE "SOFT" AS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAS NOT RESET ITSELF AND THE BACKSIDE VALVE REMAINS OPEN. I NOW MUST PRESS THE BRAKES ABOUT 90% OF THE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR EVERY TIME IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP APPROPRIATELY. AFTER SOME BASIC RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 07 AND 08 FORD FUSIONS. THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIGURE OUT A SURE FIX AND ANY SUGGESTED FIX IS VERY COSTLY WITH NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS???? VERY UNSAFE!!

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED MY 1ST RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD DATED JULY 2016. AUG 24, 2016 I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE UNDER PRODUCTION AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE 4TH QUARTER 2016. I CALLED FORD 10/18/2016 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE STILL ENGINEERING THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS. I WAS GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION IN AUGUST, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED IF FORD IS DOING ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THIS. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGER, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR, AND IT IS HARD TO PAY FOR THE NEW CAR. MEANWHILE I CANNOT SELL THE FORD BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. SO PLEASE BE HONEST WITH ME, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL?
