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. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

MANY TIMES AFTER THIS INITIAL INCIDENT, MY 2008 FORD FUSION WOULD AGAIN NOT START UPON FIRST FULL TURNING OF IGNITION KEY. THEN UPON SECOND ATTEMPT IT STARTS. THE FIRST KEY TURNING RESULTS IN CRANK BUT NO TURNOVER OF ENGINE, LONG CRANK. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES A MONTH.

THE FRONT SIDE PASSANGER AIR BAG TOP IS PEALING UP.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, May 12, 2015
DASHBOARD PEELING BACK IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR 2006-2009 FUSIONS WHICH FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A SAFETY ISSUE OR OFFER REPAIR WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT COST TO OWNER. DASHBOARD PEELS BACK AND BUBBLES IN FRONT OF WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND MAY CAUSE INTERFERENCE WITH AIRBAG OPERATION. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT OR RESULT OF IMPROPER CARE BY OWNERS, THE PROBLEM IS TOO WIDESPREAD. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM OR FIX.

CAR PARKED AT THE DRIVEWAY, STARTED THE CAR, SEE AN ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD, TRIED TO ACCELERATE GAS PEDAL, IT APPEARS THERE'S NO ACCELERATING POWER. RPM UNSTABLE, ENGINE SHAKING. CALLED AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, AAA TECHNICIAN CHECKED AND STARTED THE CAR ITS THE SAME ISSUE. HE RECOMMENDED TO DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO RESET COMPUTER SYSTEM. DISCONNECTED WAIT FOR 10 SECONDS AND RE-START THE ENGINE, THEN EVERYTHING WORKED. TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER, SERVICE ADVISOR BELIEVE TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. VERIFIED IN THE COMPUTER IF THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2008 FORD FUSION, HOWEVER NOTHING REPORTED AT THIS TIME. *TR

BRAKES FAILED, WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO FIRST GEAR, PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND PUMP MADLY TO GET BRAKES TO FINALLY STOP THE CAR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, AND BY FAR THE WORST INCIDENT. HAD TO PAY FORD DEALER $1688.00 FOR NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND NEW HCU. WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. SO FAR, NONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, THE DRIVER CRASHED UNEXPECTEDLY INTO A POLE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRAIN INJURIES, BRUISES TO THE CHEST AREA, AND LACERATIONS TO THE FOREHEAD WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,501.
Air bags, Structure, Mar 21, 2015
THE DASHBOARD HAD BEGUN TO SLIGHTLY BULGE AND HAS NOW PEELED AWAY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE, OF WHICH FORD HAS NO REMEDY IN PLACE FOR EXCEPT REPLACING THE ENTIRE DASH. FOR A CAR WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILES OVER THE COURSE OF OWNERSHIP, THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW IT MAY AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, AND I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO FIND OUT. *TR

AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND CALIPER FAILURE VERY COMMON ON THE FORD FUSION. I REPLACED CALIPER AND BRAKE HOSE. STILL STICKING. SINCE I CAN ONLY GET REMANUFACTURED CALIPERS, I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO KEEP RETURNING UNTIL I GET ONE THAT WORKS PROPERLY. THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED OR REPLACEMENTS ISSUED. *TR

IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER DASH WAS COMING UNDONE (SEPARATING FROM THE DASH AND STICKING UP) IN FRONT OF THE AIRBAG OF MY 2008 FORD FUSION. THE DASH IS NOW CURLED UP SO MUCH THAT I FEAR THAT IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.
