My car is showing the same break pedal symptoms as listed on the NHTSA 19V-904 recall but Ford didn't sent me this recall - their recall 19S54. I became aware of the recall because I initially took my car to a mechanic that has a friend who is a mechanic that works at Ford that said that this would likely be the problem. Called Ford manufacturing and they asked to go to a Ford shop to run diagnostics. I went to a Ford dealership, they ran the diagnostics and have no idea what's wrong. They said that there's no error codes being reported and I don't have any lights turned on due to an error. The car has the soft pedal issue and goes all the way down and breaking is impaired. Called Ford again today and the case CAS-32032947 was closed because this recall is not listed for my vehicle. I asked for Ford to via the Ford dealership mechanic to verify whether or not this is the problem because I've checked and there's a ton of cases online where other Ford Fusion owners were switching parts and it didn't fix the problem and therefore, I'm trying to avoid paying expensive repairs that will not address the issue. I'd like my car to be reviewed if it has this problem or not and I already took it to a Ford dealership as mentioned above and they have no idea what's wrong with the breaks. Diagnostics paperwork attached.
