I was driving to work and I went to stop at a red light and the brakes failed. My car has been at the dealership for a few days and they have replaced several parts but they have been unable to regain any brakes. I haven't had my vehicle for 3 weeks because no one can figure out the issue.

I was drive through line with my foot on the brake and my brake pedal all of the sudden when all the way to the floor. I tried to 'pump it' and it stayed floppy. I parked my car, set my E-brake and turned it off. When I restarted it, it worked again. One week later while driving approximately 35 mph I went to stop as I was approaching traffic and my brake completely failed, going to the floor once again. I tried pumping it and it was complete to response less. I pulled my E-brake and veered into a nearby parking lot narrowly avoiding an accident. A message across the dash read 'break system failure'. we took it in the next day, the message was gone, all visual computer checks were fine. The mechanic kept it several days and put over 30 miles on it without an issue. I'm scared to drive it now as I have read that there are many reports of this problem with this car.

ABS module seems to cause random loss of braking -- vehicle starts braking normally, then sudden loss of hydraulic and pedal goes almost to floor before some braking resumes. It's a relatively infrequent problem ( four times in 6 months) with no apparent trigger, and has happened when pulling straight into a parking spot, stoping for a stoplight, and turning off of a freeway onto an off-ramp. Weather conditions during occurerences were dry and sunny twice, raining once, and overcast and about 50 deg F on the most recent (Oct. 10, 2018) occasion. An unrelated matter has to do with their wheel lug nuts. They have a two-part constriuction, and the outer layer swells so that it cannot be serviced using the oem tire changing hardware supplied with spare tire.

I am experiencing intermittent failure of the ABS control module, essentially causing a loss of braking capability when driving. This occurs without warning. Brakes return to normal operation after shutting the vehicle off, and restarting. The ABS 'resets' only to occur at a later date and time. The ABS fails while driving at normal operating speeds. Both occurrences that I have experienced to date have occurred in residential zones traveling at 25 miles per hour. The dealer has diagnosed it as an ABS failure with a repair cost of 1645 dollars. My vehicle has less than 45,000 miles and has no history of accidents or major repair.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized several times. In addition, the check engine, ABS, traction control, and eps warning indicators randomly flashed. The contact, a mechanic, checked for a diagnostic trouble code, which indicated that there was a failure with the steering wheel angle sensor either opening or shorting out. The code also indicated that there was a connection failure and the ABS module may be faulty. Hassett Ford-Lincoln (3530 sunrise hwy, wantagh, NY 11793, (516) 785-7800) and Ford Lincoln of queens boulevard (139-48 queens blvd, jamaica, NY 11435, (718) 657-8888) indicated that the vehicle was excluded from any eps and brake recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

Vehicle showed intermittent "service advancetrak" light and would intermittently go into full ABS mode at low speed on smooth, dry pavement. The ABS part of the problem caused us to miss several turns for lack of effective braking and, at least once, to end up four feet past a stop sign and into the crossing lane of traffic. The Ford dealer replaced the L/R ABS sensor twice but the problem recurred 9 months and then 3 months later. The third time, we took the vehicle to an independent shop where I was able to personally observe the final and correct diagnosis and repair of the problem. There was a buildup of rust and scale on the sensor mounting point which had gradually forced the plastic sensor further and further from notched sender wheel until, eventually, the sensor became intermittent. The computer apparently interpreted this as a locked wheel and then went into full ABS mode. That's what the real mechanic said, anyway, and his repair has worked fine for about four months now (the R/H sensor also went intermittent for the same reason about two months ago and was also successfully repaired by cleaning up the mount and reinstalling the original 2010 sensor). The Ford dealer's mechanic apparently never cleaned up the surface of the mount on either of his repairs. Just torquing down the new sensor was evidently enough to make it work for a while. This would not be worth bothering you over but for the random ABS part which could have caused us to be in a pretty serious accident on at least one occasion (the stop sign!). I did not observe any obvious pattern or relationship between the light coming on and/or the ABS malfunction. Rust is a common problem here in the northeast. The mechanic who solved the problem said he has run into similar issues with other cars. It might be worth at least a service bulletin.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed, which caused difficulty stopping the vehicle. In addition, the service wrench and brake system warning indicators illuminated. In order to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force. The vehicle was taken to Liberty Ford parma heights (6600 pearl rd, parma heights, oh 44130, (440) 888-2600) where the contact was informed that the rear driver side wheel sensor failed and the brake booster, brakes, and pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.

- Cleveland, OH, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the brakes failed to function properly when applied. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard several times, which caused the contact to have to apply force and pump the brake pedal each time the failure occurred. In addition, the electric power steering failed and caused the steering wheel to become extremely tight when attempting to turn in either direction. The vehicle was also serviced for a manufacturer extended warranty campaign regarding the throttle body; however, the contact noticed that the vehicle was slow to accelerate while the other two failures progressed. The dealer (worthington Ford, 2950 N bellflower blvd, long beach, ca 90815, (562) 420-3333) was unable to provide a permanent remedy yet for the three failures that were experienced. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA action numbers: EA17004 (steering) and PE13003 (engine). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer to determine if they could provide a permanent repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

My 2010 Ford Fusion had ABS hydraulic control unit failure. Brakes failed to function correctly when ABS activated during braking ' brake pedal would go to floor ' with only faint braking possible. This happened three times ' thankfully there wasn't an accident and no one was injured. I took to dealer for resolution. Dealer unable to diagnose the problem first 2 times. I took to dealer the third time ' they were able to replicate the problem. ABS hcu was replaced. Repair cost was very expensive.

At random when I start my car and apply the brakes to shift the brake pedal will go to the floor. It will also not stop the car effectively for a long distance, even at 20 mph. The condition corrects its self, till it happens again. The car will also not stop quickly no matter what. A car cut me off and the car did not even have the braking ability to start ABS braking with the brake pedal pushed as hard as I could. Lucky what braking power I did have was still enough to avoid hitting the car that cut me off.

Brake a failure investigation 2010 Ford Fusion SE 2.5L I4. Brake pedal went to the floor while driving my 2010 fod Fusion SE manual transon highway. Alerted by dashboard that brake fluid was low. While putting new fluid in, noticed a leak in drivers side wheel. Repaired a broken brake line & replaced caliper at drivers side rear. Could not get brake lines to bleed properly after repair, resulting in mushy pedal with decreased braking ability. Took it to Ford dealer and received a work order stating that it needs an ABS hydraulic control unit, brake pads, rotors, etc... cost of repairs = $5,000 replaced all four brake pads and rotors and passenger rear caliper, as well as brake master cylinder. Attempt to bleed brakes even with the key in ignition & car on. No air coming out of brake line but, brake pedal still not building pressure and going to the floor. Found out that a valve in hcu had tendency to stick providing this exact result.
