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.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD HAS KNOWN SINCE JUNE 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT HAS YET TO SEND NOTIFICATION. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL BY RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. FORD HAS AN OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF A RECALL EVEN IF PARTS ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.

ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT THE LEATHER ON THE DASH LIFTED THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE CAP HOLDING THE AIR BAG. I COULD NOT GET IT TO SLIP BACK SO NOW I HAVE AN OPENING ON THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG. I DID TAKE IT TO FORD THE SAID IT WAS NOT GOING TO OPEN UP ALL THE WAY UNLESS I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE FIXED BUT I FEEL THAT THIS WAS NOT A COINCIDENT THAT THE LEATHER LIFTED. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY AND SOMEONE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WILL BE HURT. I KNOW THE CAR IS AN OLDER MODEL BUT I KEEP THIS CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION.

TAKATA RECALL: I DO NOT THINK THAT ENOUGH PRESSURE IS BEING APPLIED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY CAR SHOULD BE PULLED AND A RENTAL CAR PROVIDED AT NO COST. THAT WILL GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM FASTER. I DO NOT HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE AS I NO LONGER ALLOW A PASSENGER TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS IMPACTED ON MY VEHICLE. GROUND ALL VEHICLES IMPACTED AND SEE HOW FAST THEY GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH. TAKE THE GLOVES OFF AND GET TOUGH!

ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, IMMORAL DECISIONS MADE BY FORD IN WAITING EIGHT YEARS TO NOTIFY ME ABOUT DRIVING A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR FOR MANY YEARS. IF THERE ARE LAWS TO FOLLOW IN NOTIFYING YOU OR THE CONSUMER WHEN A MANUFACTURER DISCOVERS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT IN A PRODUCT THEY OFFER, THEN THEY MOST HAVE BEEN VIOLATED IN MY CASE AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS CASES. FOR EIGHT OR NINE YEARS I HAVE OWNED AND MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LISTED. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DETERMINE WHEN DID FORD KNOW ABOUT THEIR CARS HAVING DANGEROUS AIR BAGS.TAKATA HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS FOR YEARS. WHICH PEOPLE KNEW. DID THESE PEOPLE FOLLOW YOUR LAWS CONCERNING NOTIFYING NHTSA, CONSUMERS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICES? I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 IN JULY OF 2016 AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR EIGHT OR NINE YEARS. IF YOU FIND THE TRUE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS THEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT NO VIOLATIONS OCCURRED. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY FORD OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS MUST VIOLATE NHTSA CODES, CONSUMER RIGHTS, PRODUCT SAFETY CODES AND MANY OTHER CODES. WHEN NATIONAL FORD EMPLOYEES CAN NOT GIVE APPROXIMATE DATE TO GET UNSAFE CAR REPAIRED TO THE NEAREST MONTH AND THEY DO NOT RETURN CALL AS PROMISED, THEN IF NO CODES ARE VIOLATED THEN SURELY THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF UNETHICAL OR IMMORAL DECISIONS MADE OVER THE PAST NINE YEARS. SO AGAIN I ASK. WHEN DID FORD KNOW OF THE PROBLEM? WHO KNEW? BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT LAWS WERE VIOLATED? IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT "STATISTICALLY SPEAKING" I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT A CAR COULD GO EIGHT OR NINE YEARS WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT (ESPECIALLY A TAKATA AIR BAG) AND ALL CODES ESPECIALLY RELATED TO TIMELY NOTIFICATIONS TO YOU AND THE CONSUMER WERE MET. THANK YOU [XXX] PS I HAVE A 2008 FORD FUSION SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR THREE MONTHS FOR SALE IF YOU KNOW ANY ONE WHO WOULD BUY A FORD?

"TAKATA RECALL" - I PURCHASED A 2008 FORD FUSION IN 2010 WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES. DURING THE MONTH OF JULY 2013, IT WAS A VERY HOT SUMMER DAY, 90 DEGREES AND MY CAR WINDOWS WERE SHUT TIGHT. MY CAR SAT IN THE PARKING LOT DURING WORKING HOURS AT LEAST 9 HOURS. AT THIS TIME, I HAD 33,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND MY FIRST FORD VEHICLE PURCHASED. I ENTERED INSIDE, I NOTICED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THE AIR BAG HAD POPPED UP ALONG THE PERIMETER. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE FOAM MATERIAL UNDERNEATH THE AIRBAG. IMMEDIATELY, I WAS CONCERNED AND NOTIFIED THE HQ FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I REQUEST TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ON THE FORD FUSION FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. HER RESPONSE WAS "NO". I INFORMED HER OF THE OCCURRENCE IN DETAIL AND FELT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY. I REQUESTED TO PLEASE NOTE THIS IN FILE FOR ANY FUTURE CALLS. I HAD OFFERED TO SEND A PICTURE OF IT BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT NECESSARY. I POLITELY ASKED WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE AND WHAT STEPS ARE NEEDED. SHE REPLIED, IT WAS NOT FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY AND RECOMMEND I DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I EXPRESSED HOW IMPERATIVE IT WAS TO FORWARD THIS INFORMATION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, EXPLAINED THE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, THE COST WOULD BE $2,500.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. I WAS SHOCKED! I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP UNHAPPY AND DISAPPOINTED. IT IS NOW 2016, I HAVE 72,000 ON MY VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, I REFUSE TO PAY. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I AM VERY DISTURBED BY THIS. AS IT STANDS, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER IP BUT UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO PART NOT AVAILABLE? I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE CAN PLEASE HELP AND ASSIST ME. THANK YOU! *TR
