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.

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.

"TAKATA RECALL". I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JULY 2016 CONCERNING THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD WILL EVENTUALLY REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT IS GETTING READY TO DEPLOY RIGHT NOW? I HAVE NO PROBLEM WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM FORD BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. I KEEP CHECKING THIS SITE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD INFORM ME AS TO THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL BEFORE A PASSENGER OR EVEN MYSELF GETS INJURED IN THE MEANTIME.

IN MAY, MY CAR LOST NEARLY ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AFTER I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP TO AVOID A COLLISION. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN I ENGAGED IN THE ABRUPT STOP AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 45 MPH. THIS ISSUE HAD OCCURRED IN THE PAST AS WELL, BUT WITHIN THE NEXT 1-2 TIMES I DROVE MY CAR THE BRAKE PRESSURE WOULD RETURN. THIS TIME IT DID NOT. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL BRAKE MECHANIC SHOP,. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT UPON FURTHER REVIEW HE WAS ABLE TO TELL THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER IN THE BRAKES IS NOT THE ISSUE, AND HE'S RESTORED BRAKE PRESSURE TO THE SYSTEM; HOWEVER, ONCE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS ENGAGED THE "SOFT" BRAKES RETURNED. THE MECHANIC FURTHER NOTED THAT HIS BELIEF IS THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70PMH, TRIED TO SLOW ENTERING A CURVE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, 271S TO 71S, IN OHIO AND HAD TO HIT MY BRAKES HARD BECAUSE TRAFFIC JAMMED SUDDENLY. I DIDN'T HAVE BRAKES AT ALL, MY ABS NEVER KICKED IN. I WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND EVEN THEN COULDN'T STOP WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN.I NEARLY HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME GOING ABOUT 50+. I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN (2X IN 5 MONTHS) AND AFTER HE WAS DONE THE PEDAL NO LONGER BRAKES PROPERLY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE PEDAL IS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. IT IS AKIN TO NOT HAVING PEDALS AT ALL. I HAVE TO STAND ON IT TO STOP AND EVEN THEN ITS THE PANIC FEELING OF BEING UNABLE TO STOP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD KILL AND I'VE READ MANY OTHER STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH BRAKING. FORD SAID THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN MY MECHANIC CALLED AND GAVE NO FURTHER REASONING TO IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR I'VE HAD A YEAR THAT'S NOT EVEN A DECADE OLD.
