Fusion 6-cyl

  • 11,900 miles
Ever since I got the car (new) I noticed that even when the brake is fully depressed to the floor while driving on a smooth surface, not enough friction was being applied to rotors to cause the ABS system to engage. There should be enough friction to lock the wheels forcing the ABS to pump. The only time I can get the ABS to engage is on uneven roads, and on snow and ice where the tires have less traction. Emergency stops are downright scary. It feels as tough im applying only 90% pressure when in fact im flooring the pedal. This occurs when pads are cold, warm or hot. I took it to the dealer. The tech drove it with me and agreed that it doesn't seem right. We then took a new Fusion off the lot (was not a sport, but im not sure what version) and it had the same problem. Emergency stops are downright scary. I almost hit someone.
