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.

HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A BRAKE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES PADS. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED, THE BRAKES STILL FELT OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO STOP COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC WHO THEN REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC, HE LOOKED OVER THE AIR AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY I WENT TO DUNPHY FORD WHERE THE GREETER STAYED HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE I FINISHED EXPLAINING THE COMPLETE ISSUE. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS THE HCU (WHICH OF COURSE WAS ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE) SO I HAD IT REPLACED. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR IT FELT FINE FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS. THE. THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED THE CAR TO FORD, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE REAR ROTORS. I ASKED HOW COULD THEY MISS THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED THE HCU, THERE WAS NO ANSWER. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THAT NIGHT I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING OFF, MY BRAKES NOW MADE A VERY LOUD SQUEALING SOUND AND SORT OF CLANKING SOUND EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. WELL I CHECKED EVERY TIRE AND FOUND ONE OF THE LUG NUTS WAS LOOSE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. CALLED THEM AND HAD HE CAR & BRAKES LOOKED OVER ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY TIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS AND 'BUFFED' THE ROTORS. THE BRAKES STILL MAKE A PRETTY LOUD SOUND WHEN I BRAKE BUT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. NOT EVEN FORD. I CAN SEND IN INVOICES AND RECEIPTS IF NEEDED

ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE TO NOW. WHENEVER THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES (HARD BRAKING TO DUE SNOW/ICE OR OBSTRUCTION AVOIDANCE), IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES INCREDIBLY SPONGY OR NON-EXISTENT AND BRAKING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ENGAGING THE HAND BRAKE. I'VE HAD THE PADS, ROTORS, REAR CALIPERS, AND SLIDE PINS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PULL OVER ANS SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART IT TENDS TO WORK UNTIL YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE COME UP. .

LOW BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A HARD STOP
Service brakes, Jun 27, 2019
BRAKES GO NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE ENGAGING AND STOPPING VEHICLE. SPONGY. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER WITH NEW, NO HELP. REPLACED ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT WITH USED UNIT, AND NO HELP, BUT SUSPECT THE REPLACEMENT UNIT IS FAULTY ALSO. VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP WELL.

BREAK PEDAL BECOMES SPONGY AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE. CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLACE THE MASTER BREAK CYLINDER, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE NEXT MOVE IS TO REPLACE THE MCU. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE SIMILAR REPORTS HERE TO MINE. I'M VERY CONCERNED THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS REVEALING ITSELF TO BE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY TO FORD CONSUMERS.
Service brakes, May 28, 2019
MY BRAKES GO OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY WHEN THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BUMP THAT I MIGHT HIT ON THE ROAD. FIRESTONE HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, BRAKE FLUID, AND MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE RESEARCH I DID SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ABS MODULE. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN ONLINE FORUMS WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NOT A FORD RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM?
Service brakes, May 8, 2019
I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING TO FORD MECHANICS OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOS ANGELES OF THIS BRAKING-PROBLEM SINCE SOMETIME AROUND 2014! I HAD EXPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN MOTION (DRIVING THE CAR) AND I WOULD BE PASSING THROUGH A ROUGH SECTION OF STREET (MANY POT-HOLES) AND WOULD NEED TO BRAKE DUE TO TRAFFIC, AND THEN I WOULD LOSE PRESSURE ON MY BRAKING-PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FIVE-YEARS (AT LEAST I RECALL 6 TIMES)'ONE OF THOSE TIMES I ALMOST HAD A BIG ACCIDENT, LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING ON A NON-HIGH-TRAFFIC STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET WHERE NO-CARS WERE PARKED'LUCKILY. SO, IN SOME OF THIS OCCASIONS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (QUICK LANE TIRE & AUTO CENTER THAT WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP) AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION ABOUT THE BRAKING PROBLEM. 'WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AND GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH OF THE STREET (UNEVEN STREET WITH POTHOLES AND OTHER POSSIBLE STREET HOLES) AND WOULD NEED TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WOULD LOSE PRESSURE AND GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR''SO THEY WOULD ONLY ADJUST THE BRAKES AND THAT WAS IT. 'THIS PAST MAY 4 2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH OF THE STREET I HAD TO BRAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE (TO THE FLOOR)!! LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO POINT TO THE HCU ABS LOOSING PRESSURE WHEN GOING THROUGH ROUGH SECTIONS OF A STREET AND APPLYING THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT WE STILL DO NOT KNOW IF FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL EVER ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM (HUGE DANGEROUS PROBLEM)! DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OUT THERE?

THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM 2011 TO NOW. WHENEVER THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES (HARD BRAKING TO DUE SNOW/ICE OR OBSTRUCTION AVOIDANCE), IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES INCREDIBLY SPONGY OR NON-EXISTENT AND BRAKING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ENGAGING THE HAND BRAKE. I'VE HAD THE PADS, ROTORS, REAR CALIPERS, AND SLIDE PINS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO MATTER WHAT PARTS I THROW AT MY CAR, NOTHING SEEMS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING THROUGH TOWN ON A SUNNY DAY WHEN THE LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME TURNED RED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP. AFTER THE BUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND I WAS FORCED TO ROLL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I WAS TERRIFIED. THANKFULLY, I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL REMAINED SPONGY. IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS ABOUT 30% BRAKING POWER. I HAD A TOTAL BRAKE REPLACEMENT LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO. PADS, ROTORS, BLED THE LINES, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS.
Service brakes, Apr 2, 2019
THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 3-4 YEARS AGO. MY WIFE WAS BRAKING AT A STOP LIGHT AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN WHICH THE BREAK PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A FULL STOP EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A LOT LONGER TO DO SO. SHE PULLED OVER AND I HAD TO PICK HER UP AND TOOK THE CAR INTO A LOCAL BREAK REPAIR CHAIN. BY THE TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT THE BREAKS WERE WORKING FINE AGAIN. WHEN WE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED SINCE THE LOCATIONS INDICATED WET OR DIRTY BREAK FLUID CAN CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES TO MY WIFE AND SHE DECIDED SHE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. I THEN STARTED DRIVING AND AGAIN IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO IN WHICH I WAS BREAKING AND RAN OVER A MANHOLE COVER THE BREAKS WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER BREAK SPECIALIST FRANCHISE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR OR ON THE INTERNET ALTHOUGH THE BREAKS PEDAL HAS BECOME SOFT AND HAS REMAINED THAT WAY. BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED AGAIN FOR BEING DIRTY. MY BREAKS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE SOFT AND WILL REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN BRAKING AND HITTING A BUMP BUT APPEARS TO BE ONLY WHEN THE BUMP HITS THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. I NEED TO GET MY BREAK PADS REPLACED NOW AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T FORD RECALLED THIS PRODUCT OR DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS.

WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN DURING A HARD BRAKE ON SLIPPERY SURFACE AFTERWARDS THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES TO THE FLOOR WHICH MAKES STOPPING VERY DIFFICULT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT UNLIKE THE OTHER TIMES MY PEDAL HAS NOT COME BACK ON WEEK # 2 OF BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL STARTED TO MOVE IN A NORMAL MOTION THEN VIBRATED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS ALMOST MADE ME REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS IT. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SOFT EVER SINCE. UPON LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT STILL DOES NOTHING. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THE FIRST TIME AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. AFTER HE LOOKED AT IT AND DID A FEW THINGS TO MAKE ABS LIGHT COME ON, THEY WENT BACK TO NORMAL. NOW IT'S BACK, AFTER I HAD TO BRAKE IN THE SNOW AT A LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY ARE BACK TO BEING SPONGY AND I HAVE TO PUSH DOWN FURTHER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

WITH ANTISKID ACTIVATED TRYING TO STOP IN AN EXPEDITED MANNER FROM 30MPH BRAKES LOST ALL PRESSURE. PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. WITH NORMAL BRAKING THEY WORK JUST FINE. TESTED BRAKES ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND SPEED DOES NOT MATTER. WHEN THE ANTISKID TRIES TO STOP THE CAR YOU LOOSE ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AND CAR CONTINUES TO TRAVEL FORWARD WITH NO BRAKING. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE CAR. THERE IS NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON AT THIS TIME OR DURING THE EVENT.
