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.

THERE IS A BULGE ALONG THE TRIM NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PANEL. THE TRIM OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE AIR BAG PANEL EXPOSING A GAP. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG WOULD/SHOULD DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXTERNAL THROTTLE BODY WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,600. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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
Service brakes, Oct 28, 2015
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WON'T WORK, I SEE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE COMPUTER, I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO FORD AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING BUT IT WILL COST ME $2,000, I AM A SENIOR I DON'T HAVE IT, HELP.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE IN HALF - DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE . THE COST TO FIX IS OVER $300 AND IT WAS MADE TO LOOK LIKE METAL BUT IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC THAT MUST HAVE A WEAK POINT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR.

DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR LATCH BROKE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS CAR FROM MY RESEARCH. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE CAR IS BY LOWERING THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THIS MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE. THE 2013 FUSION HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS WAS A RECALL. WHY NOT ON THE EARLIER FUSION. REPAIRS COST OWNERS OVER $300.

WHILE DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD AT SLOW SPEED FOR ABOUT 3 MILES I CAME TO A STOP SIGN/INTERSECTION. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT DID BRAKE AND LOCKED THE WHEELS AND SLID TO A STOP. I DROVE ANOTHER HUNDRED FEET AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND IT DID THE SAME THING; PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WITH MOTOR IDLING I OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS FULL, CLOSED THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE FINE; A FULL PEDAL. I DROVE ANOTHER 20 MILES OR SO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE BRAKES WERE FLAWLESS, FULL WORKING PEDAL, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I THEN WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I RELATED THE ABOVE TO THE SERVICE MGR. AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. HE ADVISED ME THAT IT COULD BE THE BOOSTER OR MASTER CYLINDER LOSING VACUUM , BUT THERE WAS NO WAY TO CHECK IT. I SUGGESTED TRADING THE VEHICLE SINCE IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT THAT MIGHT GET SOMEONE ELSE KILLED. THE SERVICE MGR. SAID IF/WHEN IT HAPPENS AND DOES NOT CHANGE OR CORRECT ITSELF, THEY COULD THEN FIX IT. WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN I FEAR IT WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHAT CAN I DO? THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS, ETC. THAT SUGGEST I AM NOT ALONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO IT. I AM SO AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT I CANNOT KEEP IT AND I FEAR FOR ANYONE WHO PURCHASES IT. I NEED AN ANSWER.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SURGED FORWARD AND LAST WEEK AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I PLUGGED IN A CODE READER AND IT GAVE ME ERROR CODES P2104 AND P2112. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T PART OF A RECALL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IT IS AFFECTING.

Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 4, 2015
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE "STALED" AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. IT FORCED ME TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART IT AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT DID IT A SECOND TIME WHILE DOING 40MPH, TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR THAT IS COVERED BY THE 2009-2013 ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY RECALL.
Power train, Sep 1, 2015
WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A LOUD HUMMING SOUND, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, THE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING IS BAD, AND DRIVE SHAFT IS RUSTED, ALMOST SOLID. THE VEHICLE MILES ARE FAR TOO LOW FOR THIS TO BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A FRONTAGE ROAD WHEN I PUT MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL I FELT THE ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AND THEN WHEN I BROKE AGAIN MY FOOT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS GLAD THAT I WAS ONLY GOING 25 MILES PER HOUR AND THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE WAS A CAR OR PERSON I NEEDED TO STOP FOR BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE HIT IT/THEM. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BUT AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM ON LINE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AND YEAR. AN INTERMITTENT ABS BRAKE PROBLEM. THE REPAIR COST WILL BE $800 FOR THE PART AND 5 HOURS OF LABOR. SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THERE IS NOT RECALL FOR WHAT COULD AND MAYBE HAS BEEN SUCH A DANGEROUS FAULTY PART.
Service brakes, Aug 31, 2015
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FRONTAGE ROAD ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I FELT THE ABS ENGAGE AND WHEN I BROKE AGAIN MY FOOT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 28. I DROVE IT HOME, BEING VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GO NEAR ANY OTHER CARS AND TIME MY DRIVING SO I DID NOT HAVE TO BRAKE AT LIGHTS. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WHEN I GOT THERE I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES ONCE AGAIN ENGAGED BUT I LEFT IT THERE ANYWAY BECAUSE I DID NOT TRUST WHAT WAS GOING ON. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY FROM MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THROUGH SOME RESEARCH HE DID, HE FOUND THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM RECORDED WITH THE ABS ON THE 2008 FORD FUSIONS. THE PART WOULD TAKE UP TO 3 DAYS TO GET AT A COST OF $800 WITH 5 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPAIR!!! AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MYSELF, IT SEEMS LIKE MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO AND I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS JUST GLAD THAT THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR VS. MY DAUGHTER AND THAT I WAS NOT IN A SITUATION THAT I NEEDED TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING.

PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG IS BULGING AND GEETTING WORSE.
Air bags, Engine, Aug 10, 2015
I NOTICED THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS IS BULGING FROM THE DASH. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD TURN OVER AND IMMEDIATELY CUT OUT. AIRBAG ICON IS LIT UP ON DASH AS IS THE ENGINE LIGHT. REPEATED EFFORTS TO START AND KEEP GOING WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. SINCE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK I KEPT TRYING. FINALLY GOT GOING AND TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. GOT STARTED AGAIN AND PROCEEDED TO WORK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BACK TO THE SAME OLD THING TODAY WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. I HAVE READ OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE HOWEVER I COULD NOT FIND THAT REPORT TODAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE TRAVELING ALONG AND HAVE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON YOU. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. I AM CONTEMPLATING REPORTING THIS TO A NEWS STATION BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. THE OTHER REPORTS I JUST READ DO NOT MENTION CAR CUTTING OUT ON THEM OR AIRBAG AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK BECAME INOPERABLE. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK USING THE LOCK SWITCH OR THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY. THE ONLY WAY TO LET YOURSELF OUT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE IS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS WITH THE ACTUAL KEY ITSELF. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS I FEEL IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, MY 2008 FUSIONS AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH IS STARTING TO LIFT AWAY. ANYTHING TO DUE WITH MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS A BIG DEAL! THESE THINGS ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED!

Air bags, Jul 30, 2015
I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG BULGING OUT AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T CARE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF IT WOULD TO EXPLODE IT WOULD BUST MY WINDSHIELD AND NOT TO MENTION IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN FRONT OF IT THEY WOULD GET HURT IF NOT KILLED. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED???? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I LOVE MY FORD FUSION BUT IF FORD IS GONNA HANDLE SEROUS ISSUES LIKE THIS I WILL STOP DEALING WITH FORD.

MY SON'S 2008 FORD FUSION HAS A BULGING DASHBOARD AT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SECTION. IT LOOKS LIKE IF DEPLOYED, THE BAG WOULD BE PREVENTED FROM PROTECTING THE PASSENGER. I AM SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TOPIC ON '07 AND '08 FORD FUSIONS. ANY FORD ISSUED RECALLS??
Air bags, Jul 10, 2015
LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THE DASH AREA HOLDING IN MY AIRBAG OF MY FUSION STARTED BULGING A FEW MONTHS AGO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRIM BUT THE WHOLE AREA IS BULGING MORE EACH DAY. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR FEAR OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING RANDOMLY. HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE DASH. SINCE I SEE THAT COUNTLESS OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM IT WOULD SEEM LIKE FORD WOULD FIX THIS.....ESPECIALLY SINCE IT INVOLVES THE AIRBAG WHICH IS AFTER ALL A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.
