Brake pedal goes soft for no reason at all times for a unidentified reason. I have replaced master cylinder, brakes, rotors, and even had the brake lines checked and everything is working fine. Brakes feel like they are not stopping car, you must push the pedal all the way to ground before you get a stop and if you let up just a little the car starts to roll.

Hydraulic control my ABS system has not been working correctly since purchase of my Ford Fusion back in November 2015. I have taken it back to the haldeman Ford dealership in trenton NJ on route 33 multiple times where they either did not look at he problem, document it or replaced the same part(s) over and over again. Until the warranty ran out 96000 miles. Then they were able to diagnose the problem accurately at 97798 miles and request $1500 for repairs. Since the car was derivable at the time and their service was not to be trusted any more I declined service and drove it until the breaks hit the floor, literally. Around 120000 miles I was taking my kids to an amusement park and the breaks stopped working all together landing myself, and my two children ages six (6) and two (2) in the middle of a busy intersection. Luckily nobody was hurt, but now the haldeman Ford dealership in trenton NJ on route 33 has my car until it is fixed. They refuse to fix it because it is not under warranty but continue to tell me to call Ford corporate. Ford corporate tells me to call the dealership as they are all independently owned and they cannot assist. Please start a recall on this known issue, a quick google search will pull up many results, as so I can keep my children safe and with a father.

After applying my brakes on a close call my break pedal no goes all the way to the floor. Takes a long distance to stop. I brought my vehicle in to have it fixed and apparently the ABS control module and hydraulic brake controller will not re-engage! Ford wants close to $2000 for a replacement. After research I believe it is a faulty factory ABS control unit

Upon applying the brakes to slow down in order to make a right turn, the pedal went to the floor and braking was very slow/soft. It did not recover after stopping and restarting the car. Was able to get to my mechanic who discovered a failed ABS hydraulic pump control unit.

Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor after ABS system triggers, brakes get extremely soft and take weeks to return to normal usually after having to force a hard stop. I've taken it to Ford service and they could not recreate the problem, they gave me list of repairs. Recently, a mechanic attempted to fix it but still didn't fix the spongy/soft brake petal. See attachments of repairs and Ford service's explanation. Please do a recall this is a safety issue now.

The brake pedal goes most of the way to the floor with 90 percent loss of brake pressure causing the vehicle to take a longer amount of time to stop when the ABS system activates on slippery roads or when driving on bumpy road conditions. This has happened repeatedly for over a year. The last incident was 02/26/2019 and almost disabled the vehicle with its severity.

The hydraulic control unit for the brakes is not working properly. This occurred after the vehicle tires spun slightly in about 1/2-1 inch of snow while pulling out of a parking spot onto a paved city street triggering the asb. The vehicle was parked inside a garage for a week before being driven again and the braking problem discovered. Now when you press on the brake pedal to slow down or stop, it fades down before coming to a hard stop and the vehicle takes a greater distance to stop. There is great concern that the brakes will fail completely, causing an accident. This issue should be addressed as a safety recall.

While driving on slick roads, during a braking event the antilock brakes activated. After that for the next two hours, while driving in very slick conditions, when the brake pedal was applied it basically went to the floor. Brake pedal had to be pumped to get the brakes to work. This has happened on two separate occasions.

Hello NHTSA, I was driving my car normally as any driver and I put my foot on the brake for a stop sign and suddenly the brakes go down on the ground and are not working. The issue is in the ABS module and pump. This issue is common for all Ford Fusion and Milan cars. This caused me several horrible scenarios where I could've died. I take extra care for my car and this is a car manufacture problem. I'm very disappointed with Ford about this and I hope this would be considered as a recall. Here is a youtube video of a mechanic which explains the problem in detail and also mentions that it should be considered as a recall.

Brakes go to the floor when the anti lock brakes come on and car keeps on going..same complaint others are having. Has happened a few times

- Morrisplains, NJ, USA

ABS brake controller: After ABS was activated on a slippery stop, ABS light and traction control light illuminate intermittently at startup and while driving. ABS and/or traction control operate intermittently during normal dry stops. The behavior is consistent with the descriptions on the NHTSA site of cars with fouled ABS controller valves. Turning off the traction control system seems to decrease the frequency that ABS gets activated during normal stops.
