Service brakes, hydraulic, pedals and linkagesJan 13, 2022
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.
A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S02.

These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge.

CAR LOST POWER ON (NON-INTERSTATE) HIGHWAY AS WE WERE COMING UP TO A FOUR-WAY STOP. WHEN MY WIFE TRIED TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN, IT BUCKED AND SPUTTERED. THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE CAR'S DASH, WHICH MEANS "POWERTRAIN FAULT", ACCORDING TO FORD. THE CAR BARELY RAN AND WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AFTER ONE MINUTE. IT THEN RAN BETTER AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. AFTER RESTARTING, THEN WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT. IT HAS HAD A ROUGH IDLE SINCE THEN. THE DEALER FOUND NO STORED DTCS FROM THE INCIDENT, BUT AFTER SIGNIFICANT TESTING, THE CAR SET P0570 - UNABLE TO MAINTAIN IDLE SPEED. DEALER SAYS IT IS A FAILING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BUT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD HAVE PUT US IN SERIOUS DANGER IF WE WERE ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY.

AFTER GETTING TO MY DESTINATION AND PULLING INTO A DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT. AS I WAS GETTING OUT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL. I IMMEDIATELY GOT BACK IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I INDEED HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE PARKING INDICATOR READ "PARK". AT THAT TIME, I ENGAGED THE PARKING BREAK TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. FAULT: "VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE AFTER BEING PLACED IN PARK." AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND OUT THAT FORD HAD A RECALL (RECALL 18S20) FOR FAULTY SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. I CHECKED THE SHIFT CABLE BUSHING AND IT WAS BROKE. UPON CHECKING WITH THE FORD DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL DUE TO IT BEING MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL ENDED. HOW CAN THE VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL?

VEHICLE WILL GO INTO SAFE MODE WHILE DRIVING AND WILL FORCE YOU TO PULL OVER AND SHUT DOWN VEHICLE REGARDLESS OF LOCATION, TRAFFIC, OR DRIVING CONDITION. WHEN YOU SHUT OFF CAR, YOU WAIT A FEW MINUTES, RESTART CAR AND THEN CAR DRIVES NORMAL AGAIN, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE TO WORK ONE MORNING, I STARTED MY VEHICLE, AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, I ROLLED BACKWARDS. I NOTICED THE DISPLAY SHOWED ME IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE. I TRIED SHIFTING GEARS BUT THE DISPLAY STILL HAD ME IN REVERSE EVEN WHEN I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BACK IN PARK. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON BUT IT WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE DISPLAY STILL SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS STILL IN PARK. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARD. I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. THIS IS IS A KNOWN RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL SO I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING AND REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET.
