Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles.

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.

WHENEVER THE CAR HITS ROUGH ROADS, THE BRAKES LOSE EFFECTIVENESS AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES DRASTICALLY. FORTUNATELY, THERE HASNT BEEN A COLISION CAUSED BY FAULTY SYSTEM. RECENTLY, 25 JUNE 2018, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THIS CAR ENTERED INTO A FISH-TAIL ENDING WITH A 180 DEGREE SPIN. THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY TO THE FLOOR AND IT APPEARED AS IF THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN.

ON OR ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2018 ON THE COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AS I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKES WEREN'T THERE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO THE FLOOR BOARD, I BEGAN PUMPING THE BRAKES TO STOP AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK BACK ROADS TO GET OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AT EACH STOP SIGN. AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN I COASTED FROM ABOUT TWO BLOCKS TO A BARE CRAWL ANTICIPATING THAT WOULD HELP ME ACTUALLY STOP - IT DIDN'T - MY VEHICLE CONTINUED SLOWLY PAST THE 4 WAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND A VEHICLE THAT HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY ON THE RIGHT STOPPED TO LET ME CONTINUE AS I WAVED AND EXPRESSED I WAS SORRY THE BEST WAY I COULD. I MADE IT HOME AND CALLED THE TIRE/BRAKE SHOP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. I THEN DROVE THE SAME ROUTE TO THE TIRE/BRAKE SHOP AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED, NEW CALIPERS, ETC. THE AUTO REPAIRMEN STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER VALVE WAS COMPROMISED AND TO WATCH FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND THE NEXT TIME WOULD REQUIRE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE I HAD ACCESS TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY.

Service brakes, Jun 23, 2018
BRAKE FAILURE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP MY CAR AT A CITY INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL, UPON APPLICATION, TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE BRAKES ENGAGING. I IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BEGAN TO PUMP THE PEDAL, WHICH EVENTUALLY ENGAGED THE BRAKES SOFTLY. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER CAR. FOR A LITTLE WHILE AFTER THAT THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO BE VERY SOFT, REQUIRING MUCH MORE PEDAL TRAVEL THAN NORMAL.

WHEN BRAKING MY BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING. I HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE EVEN AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 25 MPH. THE RESULT IS A STOPPING DISTANCE THAT IS DOUBLED FROM ANY OTHER VEHICLE WITH ABS I'VE EVER DRIVEN. IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AND MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, I HAVE REPLACED BRAKE CALIPERS, PADS, ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE FLUID FLUSH AND BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE ONLY OTHER REPAIRS THAT CAN BE MADE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IS REPLACING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND ABS PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE, ONCE THESE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WILL BE IN EXCESS OF $2500.
