Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles.

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.

THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE HCU UNIT NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THAT WITH NHTSA. THIS NEW COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS MADE ON DECEMBER 18TH OF 2019 AND NOW OVER A YEAR LATER FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER ON 01/08/21 AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE HCU UNIT IS DEFECTIVE BUT THEY TOLD ME FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS OVER A YEAR AFTER IT WAS RECALLED. I'M SURE FORD HAS BUILT A LOT OF CARS AND TRUCKS IN THE LAST YEAR AND HAS SOLD A LOT OF PARTS SO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THEY CANNOT GET THIS PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ENGAGES AND MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUMP THE PEDAL TO GET IT BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD ENGAGE. THE FORD DEALER I TOOK IT TO HAD ME SIGN A PAPER SAYING THAT THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE BAD BUT FORD WON'T FIX IT AND THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ME GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE LAST LINE OF THE CIRCLED AREA ON THE ROCK RIVER FORD RECEIPT STATES THAT.

WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING, IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS NO BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS AS AN EXTENDED BRAKE.MANY TIMES I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD THE BRAKE PADS, BRAKE ROTORS, CALIPERS AND NOW THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED WITH A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH AND THIS ISSUE STILL REMAINS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED UNDER THE RECALL REGARDING THE ABS MODULE. I CALLED SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NO HELP EITHER. THE REPAID I'VE MADE WERE COSTLY, BUT THIS REPAIR WOULD BE VERY COSTLY IN WHICH I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR.

I WAS TOLD BY A UFTRING FORD THEY WERE WAITING ON MANUFACTURER AND WAS DIRECTED TO CALL FORD. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME NHSTA WAS STILL DETERMINING WHAT THEY WERE WILLING TO FIX AND TO CALL THEM AND THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY NHTSA THAT IT WOULD BE END OF 3RD QUARTER 2020 BEFORE THE RECALL WAS FIXED. MY BRAKES WILL GO FROM REALLY SOFT TAKING 20 FEET OR BETTER TO STOP WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT AT OTHER TIMES WILL STOP NORMAL JUST WITH SOFT BREAK PEDALS. MY CAR SPENDS IT'S DAYS PARKED AND WE DO WELL WITH JUST ONE CAR BUT IF I COULD TRUST MY CAR TO DRIVE IT TO WORK I WOULD BUT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED I CAN'T. IT'S VALUE MAKES IT HARD TO SELL ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECALL.
