SERVICE BRAKES

On [XXX] when leaving a shopping center parking lot, the brake system suddenly failed. I was able to press hard on the foot brake to stop the vehicle near the middle of the intersection. I pulled over to a parking space and replicated the issue. The car was towed to West 40 Auto Care on 284 Montvue Lane in Frederick, MD. Today, they told me they could not fix the issue. I made an appointment with the Ford Motor Company on 1 Waverly Drive for 9/15. I drove the car home slowly (about 1 mile) with the emergency lights on and going about 10 mph. Pressing hard on the foot brake will slowly stop the car. ABS icon and Service Advance Trac appear on the dashboard. Yesterday, the brake and wrench lights were also on. The footbrake does not go all the way to the floor. This issue is of course dangerous and might have caused an issue if I had to brake suddenly on a busy road at a higher speed. The issue appears to correspond with the link at [XXX] and summarized at [XXX] . I did not previously receive a recall issue in 2020.

Issue has been inspected by Ford dealership in Tigard Oregon (Landmark Ford/Lincoln). Part was removed and sent to a 3rd party shop to be rebuilt per Landmark Ford and was unable to do so. There was 2 or 3 dash lights that came on along with no brakes. The issue first happened [XXX]. Dealership told me they had another vehicle in the shop at the same time with the same issue. Luckily the issue presented itself the morning of [XXX] as my wife was attempting to back out of her parking spot. She was able to pull the e-brake before the car got away from her.

The power steering has failed. The dashboard showed these two phrases "Service Advancetrac" - yellow "Service power steering now" - red When that happened the first time the dealership was able to fix it under the customer satisfaction program by providing a module software update. But the issue happened again and I believe it is related to the 15V340 recall. I would like that to be investigated.

There is a recall date on this car dating back 2021. I bought this car in 2024. The recall problems was never addressed or fixed. This had created an electrical error in the car, given no airbags, and windows do not roll, nor does it give accurate reads on tire pressure. Unbeknownst of all this, a tire popped nearly cause me to wreck on I-5 early 2024. I have documentation supporting the sale of the car, the replacement of tires, oil changes, repairs & towing incurred all on behalf of this car. I would not have bought it knowing there was a recall that was not addressed. This car is a rebuilt title that has been in accidents.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Car was checked for recall 15S34 and incorrectly determined to not have a problem. This recall deals with the gas tank cracking open. This car will pool gas on the ground under the car. Ford says since this was previously looked at, even if the determination was false, they will not take any action or help with it. Please assist - this is a known problem and should be repaired under the recall.

SERVICE BRAKES

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion. Two days ago I was backing out of the parking lot and I had to brake hard to avoid a fast moving car zooming past behind me. After that I noticed the brake was very mushy and I have to press the brake almost to the floor to get the car to stop. I did some research on the internet and found out it was a common problem with Ford fusion between 2006 and 2010 and there is a safety recall 19S54 for the 2006-2010 Ford Fusion. Ford also has an internal Customer Satisfaction program 21N11 that covers the repair of the said issue. However, the recall only covers cars manufactured between February 22, 2006 through July 15, 2009 and my car was manufactured in Dec 2009 and was not included on the recall list. Obviously the problem was not fixed for Ford Fusion manufactured after the 7/15/2009. I have seen many similar complaints on the net and some have indicated that they have filed NHSTA complaints for the same issue. I contacted Ford and see if they will fix the problem with my car as a goodwill gesture even though my car was not on the recall list. They absolutely refused to take responsibility. I think it is a serious, serious safety issue for the driving public and Ford should be told to extend the 19S54 recall cut off date to cover any vehicle that experienced this ABS/HCU braking problem and fix this manufacturing defect.
