Very snowy where I live, whenever I hit ice and brake the ABS will kick on and off like its spossed to. After the ABS does its job the pedal gets very soft for quite a long time. It isnt until the next day the pedal is fully hard. One time the ABS was working the pedal went all the way to the floor.

After my ABS brakes engaged on some hard packed snow on my neighborhood street I had to depress my brake pedal very close to the floor to stop. This squishy brake condition gradually improved afterwards and was back to, or near, normal after several controlled test brakings over about 15 minutes. I haven't had any further problems, but then I haven't had any more ABS events. I didn't know if you wanted "me too" complaints.

I was on an on-ramp going about 25-30 mpg in heavy traffic. At the left bend in the ramp I hit a small pothole that activated the ABS. The brake petal went all the way to the floor. The brakes have not gone back to normal pressure. The petal is too soft. I have to pump the brakes for every slow down.

My 2009 Ford Fusion has a major problem with the ABS hydraulic control unit, my brakes are very soft do no stop as they should. This has caused danger to myself and other drivers. While pressing the brake pedal it keeps moving toward the floor and there's no stopping power. It feels like you're not going to stop at all. My husband refuses to let me drive the car anymore. I've called two local Ford dealerships and they tell me that the part is "part number sensitive" and is obsolete. I'm left with a car with no brakes and no parts available to repair it. Ford is a disappointment!

I began to brake approaching a traffic light. The anti-lock brakes initiated soon after light braking pressure. The anti-lock brakes continued for approximately 300 feet without the car slowing down. The vehicle proceeded through a red light narrowly missing traffic. After the anti-lock braking occurred the brake pedal was less responsive and the anti-lock brakes came on when applying regular pressure. The anti-lock brakes work less effectively than when the brakes do not use ABS. It is very difficult to apply the correct amount of pressure to not initate ABS from occurring.

When I was trying to brake on some light ice to make a turn it locked up on me and was unable to come to a stop... since that incident I have soft squishy brakes, to stop it goes almost to the floor., I have had brakes checked out there is nothing wrong with them.. said it was the ABS system needing to be checked out and that Ford is aware that there is a safety issue on this 2009 Ford Fusion

The contact owned a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle crashed into a brick wall. The contact stated that the brakes failed without warning. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed and destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. The failure mileage was 125,000.

When I have gone on roads that are uneven or bumpy my brakes would not work and go all the way to the floor. They would be fine after a while. I went over some railroad tracks and it happened again where my brakes go all the way to the floor. Its has been that way for about 3 months now. I have had the brakes looked at and new pads put on. Its still not fixed and I still really have no brakes and takes a lot to stop. Even pumping the brakes doesn't work.

ABS breaking. After a hard break on a gravel road the break peddle is soft. I have to push the peddle to the floor in order to get a response. There are no dashboard warning lights on. This happened once before, but it corrected itself after it set for the better part of a day.

I was approaching a red light at low speed (20-15mph) on a rainy morning on city streets. I depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor without stopping the car effectively (the car slowed but did not stop as it normally would have if the brakes were functioning normally). As a result, I entered the intersection and hit (at low speed) another automobile that had the green light. There was moderate damage to both vehicles but no personal injuries.

Brake pedal stops working. Goes to the floor. Cannot stop! after pumping brakes, return to normal. This has happened on 3 different occasions!

I have experienced the same braking issue (brake pedal going to the floor) that is being investigated a couple of times when I had to brake suddenly on uneven surfaces (once was a coble stone entrance) the brake pedal went down to the floor when I slammed on the brake pedal (very similar to when there is air in the brake lines or a bad master cylinder) and both times I was barely able to stop in time (lucky for me that both instances were at low speed less than 10 mph). Took the car to have the brakes checked and they replaced they replaced the master cylinder which did not correct the issue. Both times the brakes eventually came back to working normally after a while.

When car is in motion and hits a bump the brake pedal goes soft and it is hard to stop. This has happened on multiple occasions and is still ongoing. Have taken it to 3 shops and they can find nothing wrong.

While exiting off the interstate and passing over rough pavement, the ABS engaged and the vehicle lost brake pressure. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and braking ability was very weak. Had to quickly pump the brake pedal several times to regain braking function. From then on the brake pedal was extremely soft. Had brakes bled, fixed soft pedal until ABS again engaged. It was the same soft pedal again. Had a new master cylinder installed and lines bled, and still soft pedal. Then researched problem on internet and found numerous complaints about the same brake problems. Contacted 2 different local Ford dealerships and they both told me this is a common problem on 2009 Fusion. Told me it is the ABS hydraulic control unit. My conclusion is dealerships are aware of the problem, and I am sure Ford Motor Company is aware of it also. When the ABS failure happens it is dangerous. And I'm am sure it has caused accidents. This issue really needs to be resolved soon.

The brake pedal went soft; once when driving on a slippery surface and twice on uneven surfaces as I was braking when going over a bump. Once the vehicle was turned off it seemed as if it reset and the problem went away. It happened three times. The date I entered below was the last time.

I was driving about 25 mph on a winter day in mn. We had very little snow down went to stop and ABS activated but I did not have any brakes. Pedal went to floor and ever since then it takes a lot longer to stop and pedal goes to floor very easy. Wife also drives car and she had the same thing happen going over a pot hole on a non winter day. Seems very unsafe to drive at this point especially with a 5 and 2 year old in it. Luckily it is our third car.

After a slide down an icy hill where the ABS was activated the brakes became spongy and pedal travel increased significantly. It felt like there was a delay in brake activation. After some adjustment in braking methodology, the car felt somewhat drivable. Had my first braking need, after the ABS application been at a busy intersection I believe I would have stopped in the intersection not on the stop line.

I have had brake failure 3 times in the last year on my 2009 Ford Fusion. The brake pedal goes to the floor, is spongy, and extremely hard to stop. The brakes have been checked by our mechanic and have found no apparent problem. Today, 1/15/17 it happened again while my daughter was driving the car. She hit the brakes hard because a car pulled out in front of her and then there was almost no braking power. After researching I've found that there may be a problem with the ABS being faulty. I recently heard a news report that there may be a recall due to this issue. In the mean time, what am I to do to ensure the safety of my family and others?

Only after ABS brakes are engaged the brake pedal goes to the floor. Please look into this asap due to the safety factor. After a day or the car is turned off the pedal returns to normal.

- Grafton, OH, USA

Y 2009 Ford Fusion has newer brakes from July 2015. After the ABS brakes go off when going over gravel or when hitting ice - the brakes seem to just go out- the pedal goes to floor and eventually stops. I usually pull over and pump the brakes and they eventually return to normal. I've had car to dealers in Michigan and Colorado and they can't find the problem. Only huntington Ford in Michigan drove the car but found no issue. No one has tried to engage the ABS brakes. I do not drive on ice and can not safely take the car on the freeway, so this happens even at slow speeds on city streets.
