Brakes keep going mushy after ABS activates, taking significantly longer to stop the vehicle. The ABS activates occasionally for no reason. Today traffic was stop and go, and when the car in front of me stopped and my boyfriend hit the brakes to stop, the ABS went on followed by the brakes malfunctioning which caused a rear end collision. While researching this problem I found 26 reports of the same exact problem on www.aboutautomobile.com for the 2008 Ford Fusion alone, as well as numerous complaints on other websites regarding Fusion.

While traveling at 65 mph in traffic, the car completely shutdown. Dashboard lights appeared and the car lost all power, including power brakes and steering. Fortunately, I was able to maintain control of the vehicle while exiting the roadway. Due to the lack of steering and braking ability, I don't feel a person of smaller stature, I.e. my wife, would have been able to maintain control without being in an accident.

Just very concerned. The brake hub S get extremely hot and the brake pads were no good I have less than 20'000 miles on my 2009 Ford Fusion. The car is drove very little and is garage kept.I just don't understand the concept from Ford motor to make a vehicle that the brake hubs get hot and wear out the pads. I had Ford vehicles for years and never has been a problem. Why do you allow a problem like this to go on.. this is a safety concern too. My older Ford vehicles never did have brakes that you questioned whether or not you would be able to stop at a traffic light. Now I worry that it may not stop. Just a few months ago it almost didn't stop at a traffic light. When I applied the brakes it continued to roll and I rolled thru four car lengths before it finally stopped. I was so frightened !! I too noticed Ford is recalling some of the newer for Fusion for this problem. Suggest that they recall all vehicles that have the brakes like what is on the Fusion....why does someone need to loose their lives to get a problem like this fixed?? the automobile industry is failing the consumers and lacking safety standards. Usa automobile industry can do better than this.

While driving on the expressway the rear brakes seized. When I parked the car the rear brakes were omitting a foul odor and the rear wheel rims were scalding hot to the touch. I took the vehicle in to the dealership who said the springs in the caliper stuck requiring new brake pads, the discs to be machined and a lubrication of all internal components. The dealership stated it is a maintenance issue despite being solely maintained by the dealership and there is no notice in the owners manual or service as to lubricating the internal brake components.
