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.

BRAKE PEDAL FADE. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN PANIC TYPE REFLEXES. HAVE HAD ISSUES NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IN ALLOTTED TIME. HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT SEEMED TO HAVE "CORRECTED" ITSELF. RECENTLY HAVE HAD SNOWY, WET ROAD CONDITIONS AND ISSUE HAS COME BACK. VERY UNSAFE, COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH. READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED FOR BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK, NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS IN THE FORD, BUT ALSO FOR ANY VEHICLES AND/OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE AREA WHEN BRAKE PEDAL FAILS. MILEAGE ON SAID VEHICLE IS 142,977. NOT SURE OF DATE WHEN FIRST HAPPENED. PEDAL FADE WHEN AT STOP, TRYING TO STOP, CITY ROADS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BASICALLY ANYTIME BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED.

I CALLED FORD TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF THE COMPLAINTS, BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

I FINALLY GOT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPLACED IN THE FORD FUSION AFTER LIVING WITH 'SOFT BRAKES' FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN AN ABS EVENT OCCURS, THE PEDAL GOES SOFT IMMEDIATELY AFTER, AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. FORD SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THIS DEFECT BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 MY BREAK PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN'S PRESSED. IT WOULD BREAK AFTER I PUMPED MY BREAKS BUT BREAKING WAS STILL COMPROMISED. I REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED MY BREAKS, CHECKED FOR LEAKS TO NO AVAI. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE'S COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT SUSPECTED THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS ISSUE CAN ONLY BE HANDLED BY FORD DEALERSHIPS. NO HARSH BREAKING OCCURRED TO CAUSE THE ISSUE AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAILURE (I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT).

Air bags, Jan 19, 2018
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE IN JUNE 2016. IT'S 2018 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY MY CAR. I JUST RECEIVED A NEW NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I'M PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD. THIS IS ME AND MY HUSBAND'S ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. FORD HAS THE PARTS, THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY UPFRONT. THEY NEED TO GIVE US A LENDER VEHICLE OR ALLOW US TO GET THE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD EVEN PAY FOR THE REPAIR UPFRONT IF I KNEW I'D BE REIMBURSED. THEY CAN'T JUST TELL 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST NOTICE, 'HEY DON'T DRIVE YOUR CAR' TO TRY TO GET RID OF ANY LIABILITY. IT'S RIDICULOUS. THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER FOR YEARS AND IT IS DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
