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.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE CARE IS BROKEN WHICH ENABLES ME TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHICH TO ME IS CONSIDERED A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR HAVE SOMEONE OPEN IT FOR ME. MY AIR BAG IS ALSO RAISING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SCARES ME. ON HOT DAYS I FEAR THAT IT MAY JUST EXPLODE DUE TO THE HEAT. WHICH MAY BE A HAZARD TO OTHERS AND I.

THE BRAKES GO SOFT AFTER GOING OVER A ROUGH PATCH OR A POT HOLE. BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, REDUCING STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY ON MY VEHICLE AND IN MY OPINION, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON MY CALL OVER A YEAR AGO (JUNE 1, 2016) AND THE DEALERSHIPS STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. I AM CURRENTLY NOW EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IT IS BEING TREATED AS THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING IS WHEN I DRIVE THE TOP COVER TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS RATTLING AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON.

I RECENTLY DROVE MY 90 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LAW'S 2008 FORD FUSION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS WAY TOO MUCH TRAVEL - WHEN APPLYING FULL BRAKING FORCE THE PEDAL NEVER RETURNS A HARD END STOP FEEL AND PEDAL TRAVEL STOPS ONLY AN INCH OR SO FROM THE FIREWALL. ONCE ENGAGED THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM IS NOT BALANCED RESULTING IN SOME OF THE WHEELS TO LOCK - AND NOT THE SAME WHEELS WITH EACH TEST. SHE INDICATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN THIS WAY SINCE SHE BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAD THE BRAKE FLUID COMPLETELY REPLACED BY FORD WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING PARTS ON BY ONE UNTIL IT IS FIXED - STARTING WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THEN THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THIS APPROACH I SEARCHED ON-LINE AND DETERMINED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE FUSION FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE NHTSA HAS OPENED A FORMAL INVESTIGATION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS TO BE INCLUDED IN WHATEVER RECTIFICATIONS MAY RESULT FROM THAT INVESTIGATION.

(PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM A FORMER FACTORY-CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN, SO DESCRIPTION MAY BE TECHNICAL) WHEN APPROACHING A STOP, SMALL IMPERFECTIONS IN ROAD OR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS RESULTS IN AN ABS EVENT, WHICH IS NORMAL (ALTHOUGH I WOULD ARGUE SENSORS ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE AND CAUSE ABS TO ENGAGE TOO QUICKLY). HOWEVER, AFTER THE ABS EVENT IS OVER, THE PEDAL WILL OFTEN DROP TO FLOOR ON THE NEXT ATTEMPT AT BRAKING. WHILE NOW AWARE OF IT, THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT WAS UNEXPECTED AND I NEARLY EITHER ROLLED THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (TYPICALLY 30 MINUTES OR MORE), PEDAL WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE PEDAL NOW WILL NEVER RETURN TO FULL FIRMNESS. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND TESTING, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE ISSUE IS A MALFUNCTIONING HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (A PART THAT SHOULD EASILY LAST THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE). DUE TO THE SYMPTOMS, MANY HAVE MISTAKENLY TRIED REPLACING BRAKE BOOSTERS AND MASTER CYLINDERS, ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS NOT MY VIDEO, BUT THIS MAN DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB OF ILLUSTRATING THE ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VWFLKCXXZTY. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL TYPE OF BRAKE FAILURE AND POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT TO ANYONE THAT IS NOT EXPECTING THIS BEHAVIOR. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THAT IT HAPPENED TO ME, IT WAS A MATTER OF CHANCE THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS. ALSO, IF YOU CONTACT ME, MY CAR STILL EXHIBITS THE ISSUE AND I CAN READILY REPRODUCE IT. FINALLY, DATE OF EVENT HAPPENING IS APPROXIMATELY WHEN PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, IT HAS BEEN ONGOING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS (ABS EVENTS ARE NOT FREQUENT OCCURRENCES) BUT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, WITH PEDAL NOW NOT EVER RETURNING ALL THE WAY TO NORMAL FIRMNESS.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I WOULD BE COMING TO A STOP I HAVE TO PUSH THE BREAKS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL DOES NOT STOP RIGHT AWAY. QUITE A FEW TIMES I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND ANOTHER TIME I DROVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AS MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING PROPERLY. IT JUST BRAKED SLOWLY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE A LOSS OF BREAK PRESSURE.

"TAKATA RECALL". SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-38. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL FROM FORD MOTOR CO. MORE THAN A YEAR AGO (JULY 2016). I HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM FORD SINCE AND HAVE QUESTIONED MY LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS. THE NOTICE STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT LETTING ANYONE RIDE IN THAT SEAT. I BELIEVE THAT HAVING TO WAIT MORE THAN A YEAR WITH NO RESPONSE OR TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED IS UNREASONABLE AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

BRAKE PEDDLE GOES TO FLOOR WHEN STOPPING. THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AND THE BRAKES WERE BLED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HEAR FROM OTHERS WITH THIS SAME CAR ISSUE THAT IT IS A FAULTY ABS PUMP AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE UNITS AND DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO BRAKE.
