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

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE FORD TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO WON'T GET A RENTAL CAR FOR US WHEN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND THAT WE SHOULD 'LEAVE OUR CAR SITTING' UNTIL IT'S FIXED. HOW CAN SOMEONE LEAVE THEIR CAR SITTING FOR YEARS?? FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO START ACTUALLY FIXING THESE CARS.

BRAKE PEDAL VERY SPONGY , GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR , DOESN'T MATTER MOVING OR STOPPED, IF PUMPED WILL COME UP BUT FADES AWAY. I NOTICE IT IS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRENCE AND IS ALL OVER THE VARIOUS WEBSITES. IF IT IS , WHY HASN'T FORD DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT? IT IS BAD ENOUGH I CAN'T GET THE AIRBAG FIXED LET ALONE SAFELY STOP THE CAR BEFORE I WOULD NEED THE AIRBAGS! AS A JOHN Q. PUBLIC I DON'T HAVE $1000 DOLLARS TO FIX A "SAFETY" CONCERN THAT HAS TO BE KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER. IF FORD VALUES RETURN CUSTOMERS THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I UNDERSTAND THE COST OF THE RECTIFYING THESE ISSUES BUT I ALSO AS A FORMER FORD DEALER EMPLOYEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RIGHT THING DONE IF THEY EXPECT REPEAT CAR SALES.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES EVER SINCE I GOT THE BRAKE PADS CHANGED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS THAT CANNOT TELL WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. YOU REALLY HAVE TO PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BRAKES SHOULD WORK IMMEDIATELY NOT WITH A DELAY. IN RAIN OR SNOW THE CAR HAS AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING WHICH HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I REALLY BELIEVE THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS OUR FAMILY'S CAR AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ALONE, MUCH LESS WITH MY CHILDREN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE!

WEST CHESTER, OHIO, BETWEEN 6:30 AM AND 7:00 AM EST ON 10/18/2018 WHILE TRAVELLING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 COMING FROM THE UNION CENTER BOULEVARD ON-RAMP HEADING TOWARDS THE NORWOOD LATERAL PARKWAY (562); PLEASE REFERENCE THE ATTACHED PDF FOR GOOGLE MAP IMAGES OF THE AREA. THE EVENT THAT I DESCRIBE IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS HAS OCCURRED IN AT LEAST FOUR OTHER INCIDENCES INVOLVING SIMILAR CONDITIONS: I WAS HEADING FROM THE LA FITNESS ON ALLEN ROAD IN WEST CHESTER, OH TO HIXSON ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING INTERIORS IN CINCINNATI, OH. I WAS APPROACHING A BRIDGE IN THE ROAD THAT WENT OVER WHAT I BELIEVE IS AN AGRICULTURAL WATER RUNOFF. IN BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE CONTIGUOUS ROADWAY IS A SMALL BREAK WHERE YOU CAN FEEL A SLIGHT BUMP BECAUSE OF THE PARTITION. AS I APPROACHED THE PARTITION, TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SLOW DUE TO HIGH VOLUME AT THAT TIME IN THE MORNING. I PROCEEDED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME I WAS CROSSING THE PARTITION. AS SOON AS I HIT THE PARTITION, MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST THE MAJORITY OF ITS PRESSURE, REQUIRING ME TO FORCE THE PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. JUST WHEN I HIT THE BREAK IN THE ROAD AND MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE, I BELIEVE I COULD HEAR THE SOUNDS OF MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGE, LIKE A CLICKING AS IF I LOST TRACTION AND WERE SKIDDING ON ICE. THERE WAS NO ICE, RAIN, SLEET, OR SNOW TODAY, AND THE PREVIOUS TIMES THIS SAME PHENOMENON HAS OCCURRED, THERE WERE ALSO NO CONDITIONS CAUSED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER SUCH AS RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, OR ICE. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN IF I SHOULD ENCOUNTER SOME SORT OF BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, CAUSING MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO ENGAGE, FURTHER CAUSING MY BRAKES TO EXHIBIT THE SAME AFOREMENTIONED EFFECTS.
