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.

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.

AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN, TO WORK, WHERE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ACTIVATED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, ON MY WAY HOME, AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE #19S54. FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME $95-$115 FOR DIOGNOSTICS, AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THEY ORDER PARTS (2 TO 3 DAYS). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND WILL NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.THIS RECALL HAS BEEN UN EFFECT SINCE 2019, YET THEY HAVE NO REMEDY AS OF NOW. THERE IS ALSO A SECOND RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. (I ALREADY HAD THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL FIXED.) THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE A VEHICKE WITH FAULTY BREAKS AND AN AIRBAG THAT MAY EXPLODE, AND KILL ME UPON IMPACT. MY CASE NUMBER IS CAS31223959, BUT THEY OFFER NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, WHICH THEY CAUSED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Service brakes, Apr 5, 2021
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 1.50 YEARS FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED DUE TO A RECALL, THE BRAKES GO OUT CONTINUALLY WHEN DRIVING AND I'VE HAD THEM FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. WHEN LOOKING UP THE RECALL FORD STATUS THEY ARE STILL NOT READY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES ME NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR. IT IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMEDIED BACK IN 2019 WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHEN THIS CAN BE FIXED.
Air bags, Service brakes, Apr 2, 2021
REFERENCE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V904 - THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER 2019: "ON YOUR VEHICLE, A VALVE IN THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MAY BE STUCK OPEN....THIS MAY RESULT IN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE BROUGHT TO A CONTROLLED STOP...FORD IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH ITS SUPPLIERS TO PRODUCE PARTS FOR THIS REPAIR. WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, FORD WILL NOTIFY YOU VIA MAIL TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DEALER FOR REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE LATE FIRST QUARTER 2020." AT THE TIME OF THIS MESSAGE IT HAS BEEN 16 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED AND IT IS NOW QUARTER 2 OF 2021 AND PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING, CONSIDERING THAT ANOTHER RECALL WAS ISSUED LAST MONTH, MARCH 2021 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 21V158: THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPLODE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT CAUSES DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG. IF AN AIRBAG INFLATOR EXPLODES, SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.). THE COMBINATION OF THESE RECALLS IS GENUINELY CONCERNING AND NEITHER ONE IS ABLE TO BE REMEDIED BY FORD AT THIS TIME. GIVEN THESE LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY RECALLS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. BUT I CAN'T IN GOOD FAITH SELL OR DONATE THE VEHICLE UNDER THIS CONDITION AS IT WOULD BE EGREGIOUS.

THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL FROM 12/2019 AND AS OF TODAY 2/8/2021 THERE STILL IS NO TIMELINE ON REPAIR. THIS BRAKE FAILURE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ADDITIONALLY HAS AFFECTED THE ABILITY FOR ME TO SELL OR TRADE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO DIMINISHED VALUE AND CONCERNS OVER LIABILITY FOR SELLING A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY, WITH PEDAL TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR OFTEN WHEN BRAKING ON A ROUGH SURFACE.
