problem #1

Mar 202015

Fusion SE V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,000 miles

First noticed problem in 2012 and periodically thereafter. Took car to dealer, but they stated that, because it is very intermittent, they were unable to replicate the problem.

Problem: After the car has been inactive for some time, a day or more, start up the car and put it in gear. Moved car down the road and stepped on the brake. The brake pedal is very stiff as though it didn't want to move. It took a great effort to start the car. From that point on, the brakes worked fine. This is, indeed, very intermittent as it may happen the next day or the next month. I have taken to exercise the brakes in a safe space to ensure that the brakes are okay to use.
